A/N: Disclaimer: I do not in any way or form own The Vampire Diaries, I just like to play in their sandbox every now and then.
JulietteHeart: I was thinking about how to save Lexi and that is actually a good idea to have it done :) And here you have the long awaited 'talk' chapter, hope you like it :D
Tristana702: Sadly, you're going to have to wait on the whole 'the five' thing until at least chapter 23 :( sorry. But in other, more positive, news, this chapter has the talk between Elijah, Jeremy and Nik, so I hope that'll tie you over until later :)

Reya made her way back to the car to see both Damon and Stefan leaning against it and glaring at the store. She slowed down just so she could look at her boys and yes, they were hers. Stefan was someone she felt protective of and she wanted to take care of him even though she knew that he was at least a hundred and fifty years older than her.
And Damon? Well Reya couldn't really name the feelings she had for Damon, but she always got butterflies in her stomach when he smiled at her, she liked being near him and when he hugged her, she felt warm all over.
"You guys ready to go?" Reya asked as she made her way up to them.
"Of course, may lady, you chariot awaits." Damon mock bowed and indicated towards his Camaro.
Stefan just snorted and got in the back as Reya laughed and opened the passenger side door and got in.
"On wards, to infinity and beyond!" Reya declared dramatically as Damon pulled away from the gas station.
XOXOXOX
Jeremy slowly came awake with the feeling of a hand in his hair and a warm body pressed tightly to his side. He started to tense up until he took a deep breath and was calmed by the familiar scents of Elijah and Niklaus.
"Seems like someone is waking up." Elijah chuckled quietly as Jeremy burrowed himself loser to Niklaus body.
"I'm warm and comfy, don't wanna get up." Jeremy mumbled sleepily.
"I brought food." Elijah tried to tempt.
Hesitantly Jeremy slowly detangled himself from Niklaus and sat up with his back against the headboard while he rubbed the sleep dust from his eyes.
"It's only a couple of sandwiches and a glass of water." Elijah shrugged in embarrassment as he gave Jeremy the plate.
"Thank you!" Jeremy beamed at him.
"What's up with you two?" Jeremy frowned at them after he had finished the first sandwich.
"What do you mean?" Niklaus tried to sound casual but he shifted in his seat.
"Well, you both seem to shift and look awkward and that's not like you at all." Jeremy looked at them in concern.
"It just we have something important to talk to you about but we don't want to scare you or make you hate us." Elijah said slowly.
"Okay, first of; there is nothing that can make me hate either of you." Jeremy looked them both in the eyes earnestly. "And second; why would I ever be scared of you?"
"We want you." Niklaus blurted out and then he blushed. "Sorry." He mumbled embarrassed.
"While Niklaus could have said it differently he is correct." Elijah smiled fondly at his brother.
"What do you two mean?" Jeremy asked uncertain but at the same time he had a small spark of hope growing in his chest.
"We are both very attracted to you and hold deep feelings of love for you." Elijah stroked Jeremys cheek and then his thumb wandered down to stroke his bottom lip.
"Both of you?" Jeremy asked slowly as he looked between the brothers.
As both Elijah and Niklaus nodded in confirmation Jeremy felt the happiness expand like a balloon in his chest but then it deflated. He had feeling from them both, he knew that, and he did feel drawn to them, both emotionally and sexually. But he refused to choose between them.
"I want both of you, but I absolutely refuse to choose between you two." Jeremy looked down sadly. "You are both amazing, I want you to know that. But if I choose one the other will be hurt and there might even be resentment and I refuse to come between you two. You are brothers, it's supposed to be you two against the world, not against each other, and you should never let anyone come between that, least of all a potential lover."
Elijah and Niklaus looked at Jeremy wide eyed, they were shocked that he cared so much about them that he would rather forsake his own happiness then make one of them sad.
Niklaus surged forward and pulled Jeremy into a passionate but soft kiss. "You are an amazing person."
"You really are." Elijah said as Niklaus pulled back and Elijah leaned forward and kiss Jeremy slowly.
"We have actually talked about that and you could have us both, if you wanted?" Elijah smiled softly.
"Both?" Jeremy asked slightly confused.
"Yeah, you would be with both of us." Niklaus purred lowly in Jeremys ear. "We have talked about it and we have agreed to share you if it was okay with you."
"I don't want to be like my sister." Jeremy mumbled sadly.
"How do you mean?" Elijah took Jeremys hand and stroked his thumb over the back.
"She was playing with two brothers in the future, leading them on and making them fight each other for her affections." Jeremy confessed slowly. "I have helped Damon see what sort of person my sister is and hopefully he helped his younger brother but it was still a horrible thing for my sister to do to them."
"You are not leading us on or making us fight Jeremy." Elijah reassured him. "We have both agreed that you being with us both is better than we not having you at all."
"I have never been with a man before." Jeremy mumbled out with a blush.
"We promise to be heedful and to take this relationship, if you agree, at your pace." Niklaus nuzzled into Jeremys neck. "And the one of us you let have you for the first time will be very careful."
"And it doesn't bother you that I will disappear and reaper at random intervals in your lives?" Jeremy was warming up to the idea but was still cautious.
"We will wait for you for a thousand years if we have to." Elijah promised softly.
"Then I guess we can try at least." Jeremy smiled bashfully at them through his lashes then he looked at them both sternly and said, "But if I ever see or find out that you two have fought over me, I will end this."
"That sounds reasonable." Elijah smiled and pulled Jeremy into a kiss.
Jeremy softly kissed back and slowly opened his mouth to Elijah when he licked Jeremys lower lip. It was like fireworks were going off behind his eyes and Jeremy moaned.
"Wow." Jeremy breathed out when Elijah pulled back.
"Definitely wow." Elijah agreed with a rough voice.
"My turn." Niklaus smirked and pulled Jeremy into his lap and kissed him.
Niklaus kiss was harsher than Elijahs in a way. Were as Elijah kissed with a soft, deep passion that almost overwhelmed his senses and made him want to get lost in the sensations, Niklaus kissed with a powerful, domineering, all-consuming heat that made Jeremy want to submit.
Jeremy kept his eyes closed as he leaned back from Niklaus and tried to will his erection down. He slowly opened his eyes and looked into the lust blown ones of both Niklaus and Elijah.
Somehow the three of them ended up cuddling on the bed with Jeremy in the middle while Jeremy told the brothers of his life in the future and they told him what he had missed in the last fifty-two years. They talked long into the night until they were all asleep, not knowing that that one decision had changed so much. Like ripples on a pond that one tiny agreement from Jeremy had bigger ripples the further out you got.
XOXOXOX
When Damon turned the car into the parking that belonged to the hotel they were going to stay at, both he and Stefan was laughing uproariously at Reya who was rapping along to Eminem's 'Big weenie'.
She wasn't bad, per say, she was just doing the most hilarious facial expressions and over the top hand and arm gestures. Stefan just felt lucky that he didn't technically have to breath as much as a human because if did he would have passed out by now.
As they got out of the car, still laughing but Reya had stopped singing, people looked at them as they made their way to the lobby of the hotel.
"One room with three beds please." Damon smile at the receptionist was a bit forced.
"I'm sorry sir, we only have rooms with two queens or rooms with a king." The receptionist looked apologetically at them.
"Then we'll take a room with a king." Reya decided for all of them and both Damon and Stefan sight in relief.
The couple behind the trio looked at them weirdly but the receptionist just smiled and asked if they wanted access to the spa & resort part of the hotel, which included a gym, five different pools and thirteen different saunas. They, of course, agreed in a heartbeat.
As Damon handled the payment and information, Reya and Stefan started to look around the lobby. It was very modern, with a bar just a couple of steps down and a restaurant to the left.
"Come on you two, we can explore later." Damon called out to them as he made his way to the lift.
"We're taking the lift?" Reya asked uncertainly.
"Yeah, we're going to the top floor, I ordered us a suite." Damon smiled brightly at them, then the smiled dimmed. "Or did you want something else?"
"No, no, no, it's not that." Reya reassured in a hurry then she haltingly tried to explain. "I…I…eh….have a…slight, itsy bitsy problem with…eh….elevators."
"Why?" Stefan asked as he grabbed her hand.
"I got stuck alone in one when I was like six years old. It took them four hours to get me out of there." Reya shuddered and gripped Stefans hand tightly.
"We can take the stairs." Damon said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I need to learn sometime, right." Reya said weakly. "But promise not to let go of my hands."
"Promise." Stefan smiled at her.
Damon nodded in agreement and took her hand and kissed the back of it.
For Reya the elevator ride was nerve-wracking, Damon and Stefan managed to keep her calm but she was still very happy when they could get off.
The room they were going to stay in was amazing; big open space with a wall of widows looking towards the horizon, the bed was placed so you could lie down and stare out of said windows. The bathroom was big enough for ten and the shower looked amazing!
Reya squealed and ran to jump on the bed and Stefan joined her as Damon laughed at them both.
"So what do you guys want to do while we are here?" Damon asked as he places his and Stefans bags on the floor.
"Shopping and food and spa and go drinking at a bar and maybe dancing." Reya rambled excitedly.
"I don't think we can do everything at the same time, Reya." Stefan laughed brightly.
"How about we go shopping today then, when we feel done, we can find a restaurant to eat at and later tonight or tomorrow, depending on when we get back, we can check out the spa?" Damon offered with a thoughtful look on his face. "And then we can go drinking and dancing tomorrow night?"
"Sounds like a plan!" Reya jumped up from the bed and almost fell as she stumbled, luckily Damon managed to catch her. "Thanks." She blushed and smiled at him, ignoring the butterflies in her stomach.
The rest of the weekend went by in a haze of happiness and laughter for all three of them. Reya had managed to talk Damon into buying eyeliner because 'his eyes would so totally look gorgeous with eyeliner' and she wasn't wrong.
Stefan had found and bought three journals in different colors, somehow managing to find colors to match his, Damons and Reyas eyes respectively. Reya had even given him several pens in different colors, that all of them where glittery didn't matter. Stefan had decided that as long as Damon and Reya accepted him for who he was as a person no one else's opinion really mattered.
Damon had bought a lot of soft t-shirts, he needed to stock up because most of the ones he owned he had to throw away due to the blood stains, but if he was being honest, he mostly bought them incase Reya raided his wardrobe. He was also very proud of himself that he managed to convince Reya to buy a small sexy blood red dress that made his cock stir in his jeans and drool collect in his mouth.
There were only two incident that but a bit of a dampener on their weekend and that was when they had gone out to a bar to get a couple of drinks and do some dancing. The first was when a woman had done some very hands on flirting with Stefan, which had freaked him out almost giving him a panic attack. Reya had gone on the defensive and ripped that bitch in pieces with her words alone.
The second incident was a couple of guys tried to corner Reya on the way back from the bathroom. The leader had her pushed up against a wall with his hands under her skirt while his friends looked on, jeered and laughed. Damon had been there faster than anyone could say oops and…well let's just say that most of them did not make it home that night. Even Stefan didn't feel guilty about it.
When Sunday arrived and the exhausted trio came back to the boarding house after their fun filled weekend the only thing they had the energy to do was brush their teeth and fall into a big cuddle pile on the bed.
A/N: Chapter done!
Until Next Time
And I know I've asked before but how do you all want me to handle Finn?
