Heading down the dark road, Jeremy feels tense. He looks around and feels weird as he walks further and further. His brown eyes widen once he sees who's at the end.
"Stefan?" What is he doing here? The vampires eyes lock on his and in a blink he's infront of him. Jeremy jumps and quickly does his best to calm his heart.
"Jeremy, you made it"
What does he mean by that- Jeremy quickly backs away watching the smirk on Stefans face. The glint in his eyes that rivals his brothers. This isn't the Stefan he knows, the one that dated his sister.
As he moves to run, Stefan grabs his wrist and he lets out a wince of pain at the hard pressure. "Ah, ow" His eyes start to water in fear.
Pressing him against him, Stefan stares at him with a small smirk. "Your not as useless as you think"
Before he can ask him what he means, Stefans eyes turn black and bloodshot and fangs are revealed. Jeremy lets out a silent scream and waits for the pain.
His eyes open slowly and he sees the tv. As he sits up he groans at the pain in his back from falling asleep on the sofa. But then he tenses and looks around.
"It was just a dream" He mumbles to himself. Jeremy feels his mouth twitch a bit at this before he lets out a sigh of relief. Maybe he got the dream because of all the craziness that's going on around town.
Stefan left town with Klaus to save Damon. Elena was trying to find him for weeks until she lost hope. Damon's been working harder to get in his sisters pants, Caroline and Tyler are being weird with each other. Bonnie's being even more weird and Jeremy has realized that ship has sailed. Ric has been drowning himself at any liquor he can get his hands on since Jenna died, and Jeremy has been...
Jeremy presses info on the cable channel and realizes some trashy reality show is on. Well he's been silently suffering if that makes sense. He's been trying to get over all the death in his life, including dying more than once, and has sort of went into isolation. Plus it's summer now so he can be home all day without Elena saying anything.
Plus he doesn't really think that she notices. Turning the tv off, he gets up and heads upstairs to shower before bed. As he does, he glances at the clock and realizes it's one in the morning and Elena isn't home. She's probably spending the night at the boarding house. Rolling his eyes at that, he thinks of her giving into Damon and hopes she really doesn't.
The man killed him just because she rejected him. Shows how mature he is. Looking at his ring, he wonders what would've happened if he didn't have it on. Would he be with his mom and dad, in peace?
Shaking his head, he turns the water on. As he waits for it to warm up, he washes his face and brushes his teeth. Once he's finished, he strips and steps under the hot water. Closing his eyes, Jeremy lathers his body in soap and relaxes his muscles. His mind flickers to fangs, thick eyebrows, and familiar coloring changing gray eyes. "Jeremy" The voice sings in his head. Tensing, Jeremy opens his eyes and quickly rinses his body off.
He definitely needs sleep. Dressing, he throws on sweat pants and boxers and decides to check his MySpace before he goes to bed. As he does, he finds himself searching up Stefans page to see if the 'Ripper' decided to stay active.
It's a surprise when he finds one new recent post. It's from two weeks ago. Probably the same week he left town. Clicking the photo, it's Stefans hand with his ring clear, and in his hand is a leather journal. Jeremy finds it to be very Stefan and wonders if he's changed that much.
Knock knock. Who the hell would be knocking on his door so late? Jeremy heads downstairs and guesses Elena forgot her key. Opening the door he starts talking to her. "I can't believe your older than me but still forget something like a key-" He closes his mouth then opens it again.
Stefan is on the other side and Jeremy notices he looks different. His muscles are more swollen, the way that Jeremy hopes to get his one day, his hair looks longer in that slicked style he always has, his eyes currently look green and brighter, and he has on a dark brown leather jacket, tight skinny jeans, and a dark henley shirt. One thing that makes Jeremy more shocked though is his height. If it's possible he's taller, either that or Jeremy got shorter. Stefan stands at 6'4 over Jeremys 6'0 frame.
Leaning against the doorframe, Stefan sends a chilling grin at Jeremy. "Surprise"
"What are you doing here? Elena isn't home" He quickly informs him.
At this, Stefan chuckles. "Who said I was here for Elena, Jeremy?"
Swallowing, Jeremy grips the doorknob tighter. "Why else would you be here? It's late"
Shrugging, Stefan reaches a hand out to touch Jeremys hair. It's longer than the last time he saw it. "Lets just say I need your assistance"
Fear is starting to grip Jeremys conscience. He wishes he brought us phone or sent a text before he came down. He can only blame himself for anything that happens from here on out. "Okay, but you can't come in"
"Actually, I can because I have an invitation." Stefan steps forward making Jeremy step back. He closes the door with his foot, and looks at Jeremy innocently when he turns the lock. "How about we take a seat and talk about it"
"I'm fine standing" Jeremy crosses his arms. He tries to look strong when he's really shaking.
Stefan shrugs and takes a seat on the end table in the foyer. "I'm gonna put this as simple as I can, I want your blood"
"Excuse me?!" The younger Gilbert quickly shakes his head. "There's blood bags and like hundreds of other people you can drink from.
A sigh leaves Stefan. "It's either that or I kill every single person on this block, and i'll even let Klaus know to kill your precious drunk guardian Ric"
Jeremy tenses. "You can't do that, Ric is your friend"
"He's Damon's friend- not mine. I never really cared for him much" Stefan shrugs nonchalantly.
This makes Jeremy contemplate. "Why are you doing this? Why ask for my blood and threaten peoples lives?"
"Because, you get something out of this too, Jeremy. I know you like getting fed on, plus it's easy to drink from you then from the townies because then Damon and Liz will get involved and I don't particularly care to let anyone know i'm in town... yet"
"But Elena can find out, she lives here too- so does Ric"
Snorting, Stefan stands up. "You mean the Elena who's at my house and has barely left there for weeks? Or what about Ric, the same person who said he was gonna be your guardian but is always either at the grill or sleeping in his car?" How did he- Stefan steps forward making Jeremy hit his back on the wall. He cages Jeremy in and pierces into his dark eyes. "I'm not dumb, Jeremy"
He feels his cheeks get warm and his heart start to race. Stefan inhales and his eyes darken with hunger. "I can't do it" Jeremy whispers.
Stefan looks down at his neck and then at him again. The last person who fed from him was Katherine and that hurt like a bitch. That and he heard stories about Stefan and his problem. He's even seen pictures. He doesn't stop until their heads are off their body. Jeremy shivers just thinking about it:
Stefans face softens for a split second. "I won't hurt you, Jeremy"
"Like you said, I don't exactly have an army stopping you. You can and no one will probably even know it was you" Jeremy bites his lip and looks away.
At this, Stefan turns his face back to facing him and has his thumb over his chin. "Your not as useless as you think-" Jeremys breath hitches at the words. "-plus I did say I need you alive not dead" The ripper is back and he pulls away. "But if that's your choice, I guess you can tell little Emily why her mom is dead and won't be coming back" He steps away from Jeremy to leave and kill one of his neighbors parents and it makes Jeremy reach a hand out. His head almost spins at the familiar words from his dream.
He lost his parents and doesn't want to be the reason why a little girl loses hers. "Wait!" He grabs Stefans wrist and ignores the heat he feels. "Just make it quick"
Turning, Stefan quickly presses him against the wall and towers over him. "Who said it was just a wham, bam, thank you ma'am?" Stefan moves to his ear. "I'm sure Anna told you that blood tastes better multiple ways"
She has. "When the victim is high, drunk, or scared"
"You forgot one, pleasure"
Jeremy feels his breath hitch. At this, Stefan smirks and kisses the shell of his ear.
"Feeding can make both partners feel good, Jeremy"
What has he gotten himself into?
Jeremy arches his back as it hits his door. Stefan kisses his neck and brushes his fangs against his skin. At this, Jeremy feels his breathing get out of control. "What makes you feel good, Jeremy?"
Closing his eyes, he feels the vibrations of Stefans voice. "Uh- w-what your doing is f-fi-fine"
Stefan licks over his vein and bites down with his blunt teeth. It earns a hiss from Jeremy and he grips the vampires shoulders. Stefan lifts his head up. "You know you've always smelled good to me" He kisses the dark mark he gave Jeremy on his neck and licks his tongue over it.
His words somehow makes Jeremys jeans feel tight. Oh yeah, Anna was right, he is a strange human. Who gets their kicks off from vampires. Is that all he attracts? And is he really doing this? Letting his sisters ex feed from him.
Then again maybe this is what he needs. When Anna would feed from him he always felt good, it got him on a type of high that drugs would. Helped him get away from reality. Stefan runs his hands over his body, making Jeremy feel something he never felt from a man before. Horny.
He feels large hands go up his shirt and stroke his lean body. They run over his chest, squeeze his hips, and bring him close and personal. It makes him realize that Stefans member is brushing against his leg through the denim fabric. He can feel it poke him through his cotton sweats.
Without warning, Stefan bites down with his fangs and it has Jeremy gasp. His eyes roll to the back of his head and he feels his warm tongue lap at the blood. Feels his mouth pull blood from him, and it feels amazing. Groaning, Jeremy unconsciously grinds forward at the feeling. His member hardens and he needs release.
A moan leaves Stefan at the wonderful warm taste of Jeremy Gilbert. His smell doesn't do him justice. Now he can see why Katherine was hesitant to throw him back to them when she took him in the tomb. Even in that moment back then, Stefan wanted to step across the threshold and drain him dry.
His blood is thick, all the hormones in his body is making Stefan feel dizzy in that good way. He presses down harder, rougher, wanting more. His ears pick up a sound from Jeremy, and he feels the teens arms pulling him closer. Stefan listens to his heartbeat and can hear it start to slow, so reluctantly... he pulls away.
Lifting his head up, he licks the blood clean off his lips wanting more. Jeremys eyes are closed and he looks like he's sleeping against the door. But there's a small smile against his lips, it's relaxed and he looks beautiful.
Licking the bite mark, he closes it with his saliva before kissing up Jeremys neck. Then his ear. He finds his sweet spot behind his ear as he licks and nibbles on it. Jeremy sighs and moans against him and it's wonderful. Stefan feels greedy, he grips Jeremys hips and looks down at his lips. They look so pink, his cheeks are red, and his eyes slowly open and he looks dazed.
When he opens his eyes to see Stefan looking at him, he doesn't know what comes over him. Maybe it was the feeding, all he knows is that he leans forward and kisses him. Stefan doesn't pull away, instead he kisses him back. The kiss is slow and lazy. Their lips move against each other and it gives Jeremy butterflies.
Stefan licks Jeremys lips as an invitation and he's granted access. Jeremys mouth tastes like mint, nice and clean. The young man tastes himself against Stefans tongue and gets a thrill out of it.
Soon though, Stefan pulls away and starts kissing down Jeremys body. He pulls his sweats down, and grinds their members together. A small moan leaves the other male and he takes Stefans jacket off. In a blink, he's on his bed and kicks his sweats off his ankles.
Stefan takes his top off and reveals the abs and muscles Jeremy knew was under his top. His eyes darken to almost a black brown color and he feels his heart pound even faster. Stefan licks at his chest and bites into his hip. Jeremy groans in his throat and arches off the bed.
"You taste so good" Stefan mumbles as he kisses the second mark. Jeremy knows where this is going as his boxers are being pulled off, he can't find himself to stop it.
Waking up, Jeremy stretches as he rises. A chill goes through him as he feels cool air over his torso. Looking down, he realizes hes shirtless and climbs out of bed to get a shirt. As he does, he stops and grunts in pain. "Ah, shit" He winces at his sore body. As he moves his neck, he cries out at the mark on his neck. The bite is deep and looks like it's darkening.
Looking at his mirror, his eyes widen and he nearly passed out. All over him there are bruises and bite marks. He feels soreness everywhere. Memories rush through him.
Last night, Stefan came back. He made a deal with Jeremy, fed from him- fucked him. The memory of the younger Salvatore, as he pounded into him makes him remember the shaking pleasure he felt. How hot his hole felt as Stefan was in him and-
Jumping, he rushes to the bathroom. He showers and tries to scrub away the feeling of certain lips on his skin, hot hands running over his body. "God, you feel so tight"
Clenching his eyes shut, he scrubs his skin harder until he's red. The smell of the soap surrounds him instead of the woodsy, citrusy smell of Stefan. He washes his hair and takes his time massaging his scalp. Makes sure to add more shampoo in his hair than usual just to make sure there's no traces of Stefan on him.
As he's washing his hair, he hears one of the doors to the bathroom open. This makes him tense and stare at the shadow behind the curtain. "Jeremy, have you seen my blue brush?"
He relaxes at it being Elena. "No, check under the sink" That's usually where her and Jenna placed their lady products and stuff for their hair.
Hearing her open the sink cabinet, he continues washing his hair. "It's not here, i'll just use one of yours. All my stuff is at the boarding house"
Jeremy quickly remembers the very strong scent of sex and Stefan in his room. "What, no! use the comb next to the sink!"
She sighs. "I need a brush the comb will only get the tangles out. You act like I have lice or something"
"No telling what you have hanging around Damon all the time" He snarks. But he's only starting an argument so she doesn't go in his room.
Jeremy watches her figure stop. "Look, I know you don't like Damon but he's different ever since what happened"
This makes him suck his teeth. "Yeah right, someone like him doesn't change from a life deafening experience. He's just trying to get in your pants"
Elena blushes and splutters. Her mouth opens and closes. "He's not, look i'll just check Jennas room for one" She leaves the bathroom and the door shuts a little too loud.
Finishing washing his hair, he scrubs his body one last time he getting out the shower. He locks the doors and looks at himself. His hair is shoulder length and dripping onto his shoulders. There's a bite mark and a hickey on his neck near his shoulder. Jeremy looks at his stomach and waist and sees bruises and bite marks coating it.
Asking for Stefans blood never crossed his mind last night. It's crazy that Stefan didn't kill him last night. Swallowing, he runs a hand through his hair letting some fall in front of his face and puts a scowl on. Time to at least put on a front infront of Elena.
Getting dress was hard because he had to find the right shirt to wear. He didn't own any scarves and it would be weird if he wore one on the first week of summer. He looks at his finger and finds the Gilbert ring still there and looks on his wrist at the vervain bracelet. In the back of his closet he finds one of his old thin black tops and throws that on. He puts on some light washed ripped jeans and throws on a hoodie and some doc martens. It's hot but the hoodie won't look weird since he wears one all year round.
The bite mark on his neck is hard to cover because he has to have his hood a certain way. If his hood gets moved then he's in trouble. Elena leaves the house and he takes that time to use some of her makeup. As he stares at the different types she has, he has no idea to put foundation, concealer, or bronzer on his mark.
"Concealer, then foundation just to be safe" Turning at the voice, he sees Stefan standing behind him. He grips the dresser and tries not to show a change in his heart rate.
Stefans wearing different clothes and isn't wearing a jacket this time. A small smirk is on his lips as he towers over Jeremy and he fiddles with a makeup brush in his hand.
Jeremy turns away and clears his throat. "How do you know about makeup?"
"Over the years you learn a thing or two. Plus girls love a guy with a soft side in touch with femininity" He sets the brush back on Elenas dresser and moves Jeremys hair away from his neck. His finger brushes against his bite and it earns a shiver. "Here, let me"
He picks up a makeup pad and squeezes some concealer on it. Dabbing Jeremys neck, he lets the concealer cover the wound before blending it. He then puts on the foundation and lets Jeremy see it.
You can't even tell it was there. "You kept the hickey there" Jeremy points out. He looks at Stefan through the mirror.
Stefan cleans the makeup up and then winks at him. "Gotta still let people know your unavailable"
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Jeremy turns back around Stefans in his face. His lower back hits the dresser, and he grabs it again.
Licking his lips, Stefan looks down at him and caresses his cheek. "Surely you didn't think last night was a one time thing, did you?"
Yes. He thinks to himself. Stefan chuckles and his eyes darken.
"Well your wrong. In a way we're what you young people call exclusive" Jeremy feels his cheeks heating up and can't look away. Stefans eyes now look almost hazel as the sun shines in on them.
"But what about Elena?"
"What about her?"
"She's the love of your life!" Jeremy tries to knock some sense in him.
Stefan tilts his head and shakes it. "I don't think so. I don't love anyone, Jeremy"
His emotions are off. That makes Jeremy feel even more uneasy. Sensing this, Stefan quickly strokes his arm and looks at him softly.
"Doesn't mean I can't feel" With that, he kisses Jeremy. His lips are as soft as last night and the younger male swears he sees stars.
Stefans kiss is much more greedy than last night. It's not during a blood exchange, feeling more real. Jeremy relaxes and enjoys tasting his lip balm. His butt is lifted and he's sitting on the dresser holding onto Stefans shirt.
His tongue enters his mouth and explores it so deeply, Jeremy melts. Stefan caresses his back and his fingers run over his bruises lightly. As Jeremy starts to get turned on, he suddenly feels Stefan bite his lip and he's gone.
A bit dazed and breathless, Jeremy touches his lips. The door to Elenas room opens and Jeremy jumps off her dresser in time. Ric is in the doorway clearly looking hungover.
"Hey, kiddo" He looks confused wondering why he's in Elenas room.
Jeremy throws on a fake smile. "Morning, I was just uh-" His eyes land on the blue brush Elena was looking for. "Giving Elena her brush, she was looking for it earlier"
Ric nods. "Oh, well you hungry? I can try to make us some eggs"
"I'm good, i'm actually going to head out. See you later" He brushes past him and as he's walking away he scrunches his face up. What the hell is wrong with me. He let Stefan kiss him, they kissed- again!
And how did Stefan know Elena was looking for her brush?
He nearly face palms himself but doesn't. His gut is telling him this is only the beginning.
Hours earlier...
Stefan whistles as he heads into the small bar. It was some rinky dinky place off a highway where nobody's got drunk. He spots Klaus and sits down at the bar next to him.
The hybrid looks up at him. "Well aren't you glowing" He smirks.
Shrugging, Stefan licks his lips still tasting Jeremy. "Had to handle some business"
"I can smell, you went back to him didn't you? Is his blood that exquisite, maybe even better than the doppelgängers" Klaus raises a brow studying Stefan.
Masking his face, he sucks his teeth. "Definitely better. And he's mine"
Klaus sips his drink. "By all means have him, i'm not quite into the male specimen. More into what women provide."
"Speaking of woman, have you seen Elena?" Once Stefan turned his emotions off months ago, he was honest with Klaus. He told him Elena was alive and that he's sure Damon is gonna win her heart. Klaus wasn't shocked but even shared that he had an idea.
"I did actually, she was planning some party with that blonde vampire I almost killed"
"Caroline, i'm sure they're doing it to get their minds off of how crazy this years been" Stefan supplies. He orders himself a drink and wonders if Jeremy is going. If so it'll be tricky to be near the teen around all those supernaturals.
Klaus smirks wider. "Ah yes, Caroline. She was smitten with the werewolf"
Stefan shakes his head. "Not anymore, Tyler's getting closer with Bonnie it seems."
"The witch and the werewolf, it was bound to happen sooner or later" Klaus changes the subject. "I know I informed you to just stay low and get closer to the younger Gilbert, but I need excitement. How about you take this Tyler and let me have a chat with him"
Obviously this isn't good if Klaus wants a werewolf, this whole summer they've been trying to create his army with no success. Stefan knows Tyler so it's a bit personal, but he doesn't exactly care for him. So he agrees. Getting his drink, he and Klaus do a cheers and he downs his drink in one go.
The scooby do gang may think that everything is over since Klaus left town and took him with him. Well they thought wrong, it's only just beginning.
