Updated!

(2020: Hello fam, it's been a million and one years, but I'm back and I'm trying to get through editing all my stories so I can at least finish them. I haven't abandoned not one of them, but the fact of the matter is I was writing way too many of these fics without a clear idea of where I wanted them to go and how I wanted them to end. But I'm fixing that, I will complete these before I die, swear to god. So yeah, I'm starting on editing this one now too. I'm quite surprised at how many chapters I'd actually written, lmao, my heart went when I saw because I honestly thought it would be like 10-ish chapters, but nope. And I had the audacity to say this was a two-shot *snorts*)

A/N: My first try at a Tyler/Jeremy fic… don't know if it'll work though… ah well… try and try again… it's a two shot… I think…

Disclaimer: If I did own the series, then there would be Jyler… dah!

Chapter 1: What in the Heck?

Jeremy Gilbert stared at his ex-enemy and now sort of friend Tyler Lockwood in shock. He couldn't move, couldn't think; couldn't even breathe. What had Tyler just said to him? He must have heard it wrong. Yeah, that's it, he heard wrong.

"For fuck's sakes, Gilbert, answer me," Tyler demanded after a while of staring at an unresponsive Jeremy. Still Jeremy couldn't move. He still wasn't even sure if he believed what he'd just heard. "Come on, Jeremy, fucking say something, please. Say— anything!" Jeremy finally blinked and breathed in deeply then breathed out. He repeated this for another minute. "Gil— —"

"Let me think for a minute," Jeremy finally said, his voice wavering slightly. He cleared it and breathed in and out once more.

"Jere— —"

"Wait! I'm just shocked okay. I need to think."

"Okay…" There was another silent moment, a good ten minutes passed before Jeremy looked at Tyler again. "Well?"

"Me too," Jeremy whispered, looking down again, feeling as awkward as he looked.

"What?"

"Me too." Jeremy sighed and looked up at Tyler. "I— I mean, I think so. I'm pretty sure." Tyler looked at Jeremy with slight suspicion.

"Seriously?" Jeremy blinked then nodded.

"Yeah, seriously." Tyler sighed in relief.

"So do you really think I should make a move?"

"Yeah. I mean, if you want to then yeah. If you really think you're in love with this chick then I don't see why you shouldn't."

"Are you sure about this, Gilbert?"

"Yeah, I'm sure." Tyler looked at Jeremy doubtfully, eyes narrowing in suspicion.

"Then why did you react like that?"

"Like what?"

"So shocked, like I said I want to fuck your sister or something."

"I don't know. I guess I was just surprise you'd ask me for that type of advice. I mean, I just thought you'd talk to Matt about something like this, because he's your best friend and all that."

That reason wasn't a complete lie, though it was a lie no less. Truth was: Jeremy wanted Tyler, had wanted him since Tyler's father's funeral when he realised Tyler wasn't as complete an asshole as he'd originally thought.

But Tyler wasn't gay and had shown no inclinations of being bisexual either. Tyler would never be with a guy, would never want to be with him. Jeremy was seen as Elena's weird, druggie younger brother. And for as long as he could remember, he and Tyler had been enemies. So why would Tyler want to be stuck with someone like him? It was ridiculous to even think there was a chance between them, because no way in hell would Tyler be with Jeremy, even think of Jeremy that way.

"You're a terrible liar, Gilbert," Tyler said with a shake of his head. Before Jeremy could defend himself, Tyler got up. "I'll see you later." Tyler walked away whistling and smirking to himself like he'd just won a bet or something.

'WTF?!' Jeremy thought to himself as he got up and joined his sister, Elena, and her best friends, Bonnie and Caroline.

"Hey, Jere, ready to go?" Elena asked.

"Yeah, um, sure."

Elena looked at her younger brother quizzically. She didn't approve of his friendship with Tyler Lockwood—Tyler was an asshole and had been awful to Jeremy for a long ass time, she couldn't understand why Jeremy would begin to pretend that nothing happened—but she couldn't stop it from happening, so she just had to suck it up and live with it.

"Okay," the brunette said.

They all got into the car, Bonnie and Caroline in the back with Elena driving and Jeremy on the passenger seat. He was quiet, even more so than normal and Elena couldn't help feeling weird about it. And on top of that, he was chewing on his lip as if it were chewing gum, which meant that he was seriously stressed out about something.

"Are you okay?" Elena finally asked with a slight frown.

"Yeah," Jeremy responded a little too quickly. He sighed and then, slower, "yeah." He nodded his head, letting go of his lip. "I'm fine."

Elena narrowed her eyes at her brother, staring at him calculatingly. She knew with certainty that something was up.

"I'm fine, Elena," Jeremy said.

"Mm. Okay."

They all put their seat belts on and Elena drove them to her house.

Jenna, the siblings' aunt, was standing by the door with the house phone in her hand. The three girls and Jeremy walked towards her, the girls smiling and chattering quietly.

"Hey, Jenna," Elena greeted her aunt with a smile.

"Hey, Elena," Jenna replied pulling her niece into a hug. "Here, Jer, it's for you. It's Tyler Lockwood."

Jeremy felt his heart skip a beat before it started beating faster, because what— the actual— heck?

"Thanks," Jeremy muttered before grabbing the phone and rushing up to his room for some privacy. "What do you want, Lockwood?"

"What are you doing later?" came Tyler's voice, completely relaxed, as if calling Jeremy was a completely normal occurrence.

"Nothing much. Why?"

"Oh, well never mind then."

"Lockwoo— —" But Tyler had already hung up. WTF times two!

Jeremy sighed deeply, taking off his clothes and pulling on sleeping shorts and crawling into bed. He was tired, so very tired, and he couldn't deal with Tyler's BS right at that moment.

Once comfortable in bed, Jeremy shut his eyes and went right to sleep.

…TBC…

Yep, that's it… please R . Don't judge it too much, I know it's dry but I think, I hope the second chapter is good…
