Somebody

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why
He searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on

Tyler Lockwood was tired to say the least. He was tired of everything going wrong in his love life; Vickie, Elena, Caroline, Katherine, everyone he tried to trust turned their back on him. He was just so sick of all the drama in his life. He sat down on the bar stool and smiled up at Jeremy as he poured his coffee, "Thanks," He said sighing. Jeremy asked him what was wrong and Tyler just shrugged, "I'm just...sick of it all." Tyler explained. Jeremy asked him what he meant, "Have you ever been with someone and they seemed perfect and then...ten seconds later this whole drama filled, bitchy, twit takes over and you're just standing there like 'Where's the old you?'" Jeremy nodded his head as he cleaned the mug in his hand, mumbling a quick 'yeah'.

"But you know, you shouldn't give up," Jeremy said simply, "You'll be fine."

"How do you know?" Tyler asked with a laugh.

"You seem like a good person, you're not afraid to open up to people, for all you know the person you're meant to be with could be someone you've know for so long but you've never seen them that way before, or a complete stranger that you meet once and you just know." Jeremy explain, he shrugged, "But you're right, how do I know."

XOXO

Tyler thought about what Jeremy had told him, what if he was right? What if Tyler just had to really look around and then he would see them? He stood in the elevator not bothering to read the news paper that day and just looked around the carriage, a brown haired girl court his eye, she was short, and seemed very sweet, she stood with a boy though. Who had his arm wrapped around her shoulder so unless they planned on going to jail, Tyler decided to look somewhere else. He sighed as he stood in the elevator by himself now, why wasn't Jeremy right about this? He seemed like he was usually right about a lot of things. But everyone has their off days, sadly.

XOXO

Tyler put his jacket on his couch and sighed, he really wanted Jeremy to be right, he wanted that smart waiter to be right, that smart...adorable, cute waiter. With brown hair that needed a haircut and dark eyes that seemed to always be gleaming, even when he wasn't smiled that beautiful smile of his. Tyler frowned, why was he thinking like this all of a sudden? It was true; Jeremy was all of those things and more. Tyler was sure of that. He grabbed his jacket again and walked out of his apartment, going down to the coffee shop.

XOXO

"Jeremy, you got one more!" Jeremy turned around to where he was pointing and walked over smiling, he put on a shocked expression when he saw Tyler sitting there.

"What are you doing here?" Jeremy asked, Tyler never came down here at midnight. Tyler shrugged his shoulders and smiled up at Jeremy, he was...words couldn't describe what Jeremy felt for Tyler. He sighed as Tyler kept eye contact with him, "What?" Jeremy asked embarrassed. Tyler told him to sit with him; Jeremy looked over at his boss who was gloating over the money before sitting in front of Tyler.

"You know what you were saying this morning?" Jeremy nodded his head, he also remembered chanting 'Me, Me, ME!' in his head over and over again, "You were right. I found someone," Jeremy looked at him before faking a smiling. Tyler smirked, "Why didn't you tell me? About what you really meant," Jeremy looked at him confused, "About you wanting it to be this guy I met in coffee shop, dark hair and eyes, cute smiling, I always saw him at the diner. And I just noticed that I was looking for him." Jeremy blushed looking down at the table.

XOXO

Two months later Jeremy told Tyler he loved him, which he returned with a smile. Six months after that, Tyler asked Jeremy to move in with him, they celebrated with coffee and kisses. One year after that they had a civil partnership ceremony. The only thing Tyler regretted in the relationship was that he noticed Jeremy sooner, all that time that he wasted on idiots would have never have happened and he would have been with Jeremy sooner.

XOXO
