Tyler Lockwood

The young werewolf had gotten back from Jeremy's house a little while ago and was currently dressing for an event that was to be had later that night hosted by his mother and the new Mayor, Carol Lockwood. The reason for events, like charities, had come to slip Tyler's mind lately. All he knew was that his home was being opened to so many parties recently that it seemed like he spent more time in a suit than in his normal (and very comfortable) street clothes. He knew one thing for sure though; Jeremy was going to be there.

Yes, Jeremy Gilbert's presence that night would make the effort of dressing up for his mother's party very worthwhile. Tyler couldn't explain it. Maybe it had to do with the way that Jeremy was growing up all of a sudden. Obviously the truce that they had both decided on was a major factor in things but the main reason Tyler was starting to feel differently for the youngest Gilbert was the new way he started seeing him. Tyler started to notice all of the details about Jeremy.

The hue of his dark eyes, the shade of brown that his hair took when he was in the sunlight, even Jeremy's voice started to have a permanent spot in the werewolf's memory. At first Tyler passed off all of the things he was noticing as the occurrence of Jeremy's presence, with the town being as small as it was it wasn't abnormal to see generally the same people often and in close proximity. Then something strange happened. When the moments came that Tyler didn't see Jeremy he started to seek out for them. It all started innocently enough. Tyler knew which lunch period Jeremy had and it conveniently was the same time that some of his friends had lunch as well so whenever his teacher wasn't really busy in teaching Tyler would make some excuse to go where everyone was eating; the fact that Jeremy ate so close to where Tyler happened to run into his teammates was just a coincidence. Then it started to progress into something that Tyler eventually had to deal with. Either he becoming a werewolf messed up his personality in a way that he started to become obsessed about certain things or that maybe it was just Jeremy that had grabbed his obsession.

Tyler didn't worry about his orientation being an issue. He always knew that he was attracted to girls but also was aware that when he saw an attractive guy, his body wouldn't let him forget it… so to speak. The only thing that could've arose a problem for Tyler was that the particular person that he found himself fixated on was the same person that he spent so much time pretty much bullying for so long; he knew that he and Jeremy had squashed the bitterness and rivalry between each other but they still weren't exactly close enough for Tyler's desires to ever even have a chance.

So that's why Tyler took the perfect opportunity that, easily enough, just fell into his lap. When Carol Lockwood said that she hired multiple movers to take the antiques for the auction to the Gilbert's place Tyler casually told her that she'd save money if she just had him take the things over himself—which she thought was a splendid idea. At first Tyler was convinced that the whole thing was a bust and for nothing when he got to Jeremy's house to find that the youngest Gilbert was nowhere to be found. At the end however, he was relieved when he could smell the scent of Jeremy coming towards him. Even more so that Jeremy had picked the perfect time to arrive just as Tyler was shirtless...

Then it became less of a scheme to get close to Jeremy and more of a time that Tyler actually found himself enjoying. Of course Tyler had to practically station himself on the couch to have an excuse to stay longer once all of the work was finished but he was actually surprised when Jeremy had extended his invitation even further by the two of them playing Guitar Hero for the rest of the day.

The werewolf still wondered if Jeremy ever noticed how close they had "accidentally" gotten on the couch from between the time that they first sat down to the end where they were both laying there half a sleep and half conscious. He didn't even plan for him to have stayed the night but once Jeremy had turned off the game he just randomly asked Tyler if he wanted to crash for the night and like a kid on Christmas morning Tyler happily accepted. Though after a while it seemed like a colossal mistake whenever the night found the two of them sleeping in Jeremy's bedroom... together. Platonically, of course; which was the hardest damn thing in the world for Tyler not to reach out and take the boy next to him. He had slept in the same bed with Matt before countless times so Tyler knew that it wasn't really a big deal but with Jeremy it was the biggest temptation he'd ever had.

Soon morning came and obviously Tyler had to take a shower, in the downstairs bathroom of course. While he knew that Caroline was already in the house he acted surprised when the blond vampire walked by the "accidentally" open bathroom door and Tyler conveniently let his towel drop to the ground whenever Jeremy came into plain view to see what had startled Caroline. It was nothing that Tyler could have actually planned for since it happened so fast but he couldn't deny the fact that he could've kept his towel from falling off of his waist if he really wanted to. He didn't really care that Caroline had seen him, hell he knew he had a nice body and he knew that Jeremy definitely saw so as well. So Tyler wrapped the whole thing up as a victory. Then after Caroline left, Tyler asked Jeremy if he wanted to come to the party that his mother was throwing and thankfully Jeremy agreed.

Thus explains why Tyler was being so meticulous in his looks at the moment and with a smile on his face.

Jeremy Gilbert

He couldn't believe Damon had just talked to him that way. Said that Jeremy wasn't his and that worse of all he was "free for the taking." What the hell does that even mean? The Damon he was with not too long ago wouldn't ever had said anything like that; hell Jeremy would've been less surprised if Damon had said something closer to, "you're mine and no one else's" before ever saying "free for the taking".

Then it all hit Jeremy. Maybe the night he spent with Damon didn't even mean anything or matter at all; it made perfectly good sense now, Damon just fed him a bunch of sorry ass lines for an opportunity to get laid. There was venom and bitterness in Jeremy's voice when he had asked his question.

"If I'm apparently up for the taking and don't belong to you then why do you care?" He had a right to be pissed; even though his emotions were more along the lines of hurt than anything else.

Damon honestly was baffled. He didn't know what to say to Jeremy. A part of him still felt like he had a very good reason for being pissed with Jeremy and then all of a sudden it's Damon who should be worrying about whether or not Jeremy forgives him, so really, what was he supposed to do?

"Jeremy I—",

"You can leave now." Jeremy interrupted.

The surprise was evident on the vampire's face. "What?" He asked, emotions torn between disappointment and anger.

"Well that's what you were going to do before, right? Interrogate me and leave? Well the interrogation is over so you can go now." The human demanded as he walked his way to the staircase; far from the urge to letting a tear slip from his eyes, no he was way passed that—he was pissed and he'll be damned before he let Damon get a reaction out of him that's anything less than how he feels at the moment, anger.

In the time it takes to blink Damon was holding Jeremy's arm as one of Jeremy's legs was climbing the first step. He was now at a level taller than Damon and he scowled down at the vampire who was clutching his arm tighter than what Damon had intended.

"Let go of me, Damon." He said flatly.

"I shouldn't have said that. Do you really think I'd come all the way over here if that's how I felt?" Damon asked as he loosened his grip but still was touching Jeremy.

Jeremy continued to climb the stairs slowly only for Damon to follow him inch by inch. "Then why'd you say it?" He asked, his head turned toward Damon but body still walking upward.

"Why did Tyler stay over last night?" He countered, avoiding in chance of him talking too emotionally.

"How do you even know that he did?" Jeremy asked, with more attitude than maybe was necessary but he didn't care, Damon had no right to pry anymore.

"Because I can smell him all over you, Jeremy!" Damon raised his voice.

Jeremy fell quiet. He stared into Damon's eyes and while he definitely wasn't feeling guilt he started to think over again if Damon would actually act as jealous as he was if he really had meant what he just said. Either way the fact that the words came so easy to him is unsettling, something that still pissed Jeremy off.

Wondering how far it could be pushed Jeremy leaned in a fraction of an inch closer and said plainly, "What. Do you. Care?"

His breathing stopped, Jeremy's did. As he felt Damon's hold on his arm tighten again and felt his body being pulled closer to Damon and the vampire's lips meeting his in a hard kiss. A kiss still with the ability to make Jeremy's knees weak and his body to feel like it was going to melt away if Damon stopped or let him go.

As soon as Damon kissed Jeremy their mouths had opened. The vampire bit onto the younger male's lower lip and sucked softly. At this point Damon had Jeremy facing him completely and his hands were roaming over Jeremy's body searching for something to hold onto, something to pull the human's heat closer. His hands landed on Jeremy's hips, their middles grinding into each other. Both males could feel the growing lengths between them. The kiss had slowed down some and wasn't as rough as before. Damon guided Jeremy up the rest of the stairs, Jeremy walking backward blindly trusting Damon's direction still kissing his lips hungrily.

Soon the two of them reached the top still connected by the other's warm and soft mouth. Damon opened the door of Jeremy's room effortlessly without ever breaking apart from Jeremy. He laid them both down onto Jeremy's bed and quickly went to his neck. He sucked on the skin there; he nipped lightly with his teeth and licked the marks that would soon be placed on Jeremy; marking him for the world to see.

He swiped his tongue up the length of Jeremy's throat, feeling the warmth and blood flow from underneath the skin. His actions caused Jeremy to moan deeply and buck his hips upward into Damon's erection. The vampire felt the pressure and friction causing him to growl from a low place in his throat. He kissed Jeremy's mouth once more before tearing off his shirt. Damon hovered over the body under his and kissed imploringly down Jeremy's chest. He could feel the hands of his human come up slowly and land on the back of his neck.

Once Damon was satisfied from kissing and sucking Jeremy's torso he inched back up and met Jeremy's pleading lips with another kiss. Jeremy lifted his legs and wrapped them around Damon. The vampire removed his own shirt and tossed it away. Both hands were planted on either side of Jeremy as the two of them kissed, neither fighting for dominance but a kiss that felt more heated and fervent.

Damon's hands traveled down Jeremy's sides and landed on his belt buckle. He opened and removed the unwanted garment and unbuttoned Jeremy's jeans. He slid down the zipper and pushed them as far as they'd go while Jeremy's legs were still clinging on to him. With a groan and whimper Jeremy released Damon's body long enough for the vampire to slide off his jeans and throw them to the side with his belt.

After Jeremy was left in nothing but his boxers he grasped the back of Damon's neck again and pulled him down to continue kissing him. Damon complied happily letting Jeremy take control for as long as he wanted. He let the human claw at his bare back, he let Jeremy buck up for their cocks to meet and rub against each other. He even let Jeremy bite onto his shoulder and suck his skin from there to his neck. He knew the marks wouldn't last long but knowing that it was Jeremy to mark him made him crave more of the human.

Jeremy started undoing Damon's jeans. He dipped his fingers under Damon's boxers and pants and slid them down for Damon to pull them off completely.

"You can do it." Jeremy whispered in Damon's ear. They both knew what he meant. Jeremy finally added, "The drawer."

While both were now rid of their clothes Damon searched in the drawer near the bed that Jeremy was talking about and easily grab the lube and one of the condoms that was in there.

He growled at the fact that Jeremy just so conveniently had the bottle in the first place.

It was as if Jeremy could read the vampire's mind, after Jeremy could feel and hear the man above him growling angrily he looked up at Damon and smiled almost innocently. "Relax, Damon; you're the only reason I have that." Which was true. He had never needed it with Vicki.

Jeremy almost expected a smirk to appear on Damon's face but when Jeremy looked up at him all he saw was relief from the vampire. With a slick finger ready Damon asked,

"You sure?" His answer came from the finger tips digging in his back and Jeremy's legs spreading wider and wrapping themselves around his body again.

Damon kissed him softly on his lips before he slowly pushed his index finger inside of Jeremy. The hiss he heard made Damon want to remove it immediately. He could hear Jeremy's breathing quicken and nails to scratch onto his back knowing that Jeremy was in pain. "Do you need to me to stop?" Damon asked as he kissed Jeremy's neck comfortingly.

"No, no it's fine." Jeremy answered.

To soothe Jeremy as much as he could, with his other hand Damon grabbed Jeremy's erected cock and pumped it slowly, as he heard the moans coming from Jeremy's mouth he inserted a second finger. Damon kissed Jeremy on the mouth again and was glad that Jeremy didn't seem like it had pained him.

Damon worked Jeremy open as gently as he could while Jeremy kissed him back eagerly.

When Damon thought Jeremy was ready he extracted from Jeremy's entrance hating the sound that came from Jeremy. "Tell me when you're ready." The vampire pleaded.

Jeremy brought up his arms around Damon's neck and whispered for him to do it.

With Jeremy's legs already around him Damon sank in slowly. Jeremy bit him again on his shoulder as he felt Damon enter his tightness. "Are you okay?" Damon asked.

"Go." Was all Jeremy said to him before he started rubbing his hands softly on the scratch marks he had made onto Damon's back.

Damon braced himself with both arms and made his way deeper into Jeremy. While the older of the two males reveled in the tight heat the youngest was torn between pleasure and pain. He could feel the size of Damon inside of him and loved how it felt to have Damon on top of him; he just wanted the pain to dull.

Finally, mixed with the soft kisses Damon was dealing to him and the angle that he was at Jeremy started to feel the pleasure of him being fucked by Damon. As soon as he did Damon could tell. Among Jeremy's fast, uneven breathing and moans he could hear the human's heart beat faster and the whispered, "faster" in to his ear.

As much as Damon wanted to he didn't want to hurt the body beneath him. He kissed along Jeremy's neck and stayed the slow pace before finally Jeremy began to squirm.

"Fuck me, Damon." Jeremy said as he was out of breath and looked up into Damon's eyes.

The demand took over Damon's control. He slid out partly and dove back in. Jeremy's body under his began to writhe in the pressure and feel of Damon inside of him, moving with him at a rhythm that Jeremy begged for. His body started to shudder and he was getting closer and closer to the brink.

Damon started stroking Jeremy's member again in time with his thrusts. Each sigh and moan that escaped through Jeremy's mouth had edged Damon on more and more. He never thought being inside of Jeremy would feel so exquisite, that nothing would feel better, until…

"Bite me." He breathed out, struggling to keep his legs around Damon as the vampire fucked him harder to his pleasure.

Suddenly the ecstasy Jeremy was feeling had come to a stop, Damon hovered over him not moving. "You sure? Jeremy it's your first time I don't know if that'd be a good—,"

"Please?" The male under him asked. Jeremy stared up at Damon with his dark and heavy eyes and added, "I want to feel your fangs inside of me too." He paired it with a lazy smile and Damon gave in instantly. He kissed Jeremy again, his fangs came out quickly and he sank into Jeremy's neck as he continued to fuck him.

Jeremy breathlessly whispered out Damon's name as he came. He felt Damon slide out, remove his fangs, and slid back in harder than before one last time before Damon himself called out the name of his human and reached his climax.

Damon removed himself from Jeremy's body before he pulled him closer under the thick blanket. Jeremy started kissing on one of Damon's pecks and guided his hand over Damon's hard chest and stomach.

"Wow." Jeremy said, still out of breath.

As it seemed like Damon was going to fall asleep, his chest beneath Jeremy's head, he broke the silence that surrounded the room.

"I didn't mean what I said, Jeremy." He apologized quietly.

Even through his haze of just getting fucked for the first time, Jeremy still didn't forget why he was angry before. Damon's words still rang through his head and a simple apology wasn't going to suffice, even if it did seem like Damon was jealous of Tyler being there, he didn't have a right to say what he did.

"Then why'd you say it?" Jeremy asked as he propped himself up on his elbows and looked back at Damon.

Damon took in a heavy sigh and looked at Jeremy carefully.

"I was jealous." He spoke out.

Jeremy chuckled humorlessly and scooted himself back against the headboard next to Damon.

"So you say that?" He asked as an unconvincing smile tugged his lips.

In an effort to make up for whatever tension had entered the room Damon leaned in and kissed Jeremy deeply. Their lips molded together, it was a kiss sweeter than all of their previous ones. A kiss that was gentle but fast, sweet yet fiery. Jeremy nibbled on Damon's lip causing the vampire to smile. He pulled away and said,

"I'm a jealous moron?" Damon shrugged and smiled.

Forgetting specifically what they were talking about for a moment Jeremy asked,

"So you were jealous?" He fought the inevitable smile that crossed his face, but of course it was inevitable. Jeremy nearly grinned ear to ear, knowing now that Damon cared enough to be jealous… of Tyler? That was crazy; Tyler Lockwood would be the last person in the world for Damon to ever be jealous of. (Or so he thought.)

As quick as a cheetah, or even faster, Damon climbed atop of Jeremy and straddled him gracefully. "Why was he in your bed?" He maintained to leave the growl out of his voice but Damon still asked his question in a tone harsher than Jeremy preferred.

"He came over yesterday to drop off some antiques for a charity his mom and Jenna are throwing. It was a lot of work so he just hung out here for a while and by the time we were done I just thought it'd be easier for him to stay over than him driving back to the mansion. Not a big deal, Damon." Jeremy smiled easily and leaned forward kissing Damon reassuringly.

Losing his edge Damon kissed Jeremy back and ran his hands down Jeremy's naked chest. He pulled back, his brows furrowed and asked finally,

"In your bed?" He asked, his brow arching accusingly.

Without thinking Jeremy took off his bracelet that had been laced with vervain and placed it next to him.

"Compel me and ask me what you really want to." Jeremy demanded losing the smile that had once taken place on his now frowning and serious mouth.

Damon narrowed his eyes, knowing it'd be the end of whatever they were to each other if he'd cave in and compel Jeremy for his honesty. He didn't want that; especially not after how they were progressing, even if it was because of a fight. No, he'd just have to… trust Jeremy. Something so foreign to Damon that he really wasn't sure how to trust someone again, it had always proven to be a mistake, a slap in the face too damaging for Damon to recover from; why should he do that again?

Then he looked at Jeremy's smile and could feel the human's body heat against his and how much Damon liked it, and then he knew exactly why he would trust Jeremy. A part of him was starting to fall in love with the human; his human.
