Tyler POV

As soon as our lips touched everything seemed to melt away. Our surroundings becoming blurred, all of my senses seemed to stop their normal functions and I could only focus on him. I wanted to kiss his pain away, to erase the painful memories and replace them with bliss. I couldn't understand, and didn't want to, where all this lust and need for Jeremy came from. It felt like some sort of magnetic force was pushing us deeply into each other, even if I wanted to withdraw I couldn't, not that I wanted to anyways. His lips soft like pillows pushing against mine, our hearts racing. Our need almost a plea to each other. The wolf inside stirred, releasing an adrenaline rush that I usually reserve for the field, made its appearance. I bit down on his lower lip and he let out a warm breath, I quickly drew my tongue in and sealed us together. My tongue exploring and memorizing every surface of his mouth. Nothing that I've experienced has ever felt this amazing.. I wanted him closer to me, as if we could be any closer, I grabbed his waist and pulled him into my chest, his warm body making my skin explode into goosebumps.

I could feel the need for Jeremy to breathe and I didn't want him to withdraw. He slowly began to pull away and our lips finally disconnected. I let out something like a whine, and looked up at him. His eyes still closed, and his body still responding erratically to what just happened. Sweat beads in his forehead, his heavy breathing trying to regulate his heart beats, a sight for sore eyes.

This was the hard part, trying to reason with whatever just happened and acceptance..

Jeremy POV

My mind was spinning, my body tried to restore normal functions, my consciousness tried to reason with whatever it was that I experienced. Tyler fucking Lockwood kissed me.. It wasn't only a kiss either there was more to it. There was lust, and need, and craving. An explosion of emotion that was let out in a brief kiss that we shared. I willed my body to continue and feel all there was to feel, but of course the need for oxygen was keen on winning this fight between want and need. Now that I felt my breathing becoming regulated, I couldn't face him, I felt my face becoming red with embarrassment and turned away. I didn't want to face this, face him. I don't know what he took of this, for all I know he could be pissed, but then again, he kissed me.. I open my eyes and rested my head on a tree, my hair damp from the previous event.

"Jer," My body froze.

I continued to act like I didn't hear him, I had no words to share I had no idea what to say. How is anyone supposed to react to that. I could hear him walk towards me, my heart picking pace again, what's he doing? He stops short of me and I bring myself to turn around and finally face him. I braced myself for whatever I was going to come to face with, because after all he was Tyler and you never knew what to expect. I look at him, his eyes seemed intense, but not with anger with need. The usual dark eyes that he was known for seemed to gain a beautiful gold rim. What the hell.. I could feel him noticing me staring at him, taking him in and he quickly withdrew his stare.

"sorry," he started pacing in circles, massaging his forehead.

" Don't be," it was all I could let out.

" I think I should take you home, I don't want to upset anyone with you being gone." His words conveying an excuse.

Normally I would rebel and want clarity. But right now my endless thoughts were causing a headache and I still haven't gotten over this flushed feeling from that kiss. Then there was the whole not wanting to piss Elena off and have her question me again, which I'm surprised hasn't happened yet. We headed to the car and we drove in silence the whole way home. Before we couldn't last more than a minute without a glance at the other and now we're sitting positioned away from each other.

He pulls over at my house..

"Goodnight," I nearly run out of his car, not waiting for a reply.

I walk in and close the door behind me, sinking to the floor.

"You okay?" Damon's voice seemingly coming from out of nowhere. Startled I look up and see him laid back on the sofa.

"Uh yeah, I guess, why" I wait.

"Your heart is um beating loudly in my ears and you look like crap," signature Damon smile making its appearance. Sometimes I wondered why my sister continued to hang around him. I could never understand, such an ass.

"Its nothing I'm just tired, why are you here?" I ask, "Where's Elena?"

"Upstairs with Stefan," he winks at me. At that I no longer feel the need to carry on this conversation and make my way up to my room.

"By the way, keep your dog on a leash, and could you please bathe him. I could nearly smell him from a mile away." He grinned, enjoying his last words. I look at him in disbelief, and wonder for a second what he was getting at, did he know? I continued towards my room and locked myself in.

Tyler POV

Watching Jeremy nearly run out of my car kept replaying in my mind. Along with visions of our kiss, the contact we shared. All of it was driving me crazy. I've never given this much thought into a kiss, this was all so foreign to me. It was completely annoying, whatever it is that I'm feeling I need to evade, because this isn't going to work. I can't have these feelings for Jeremy, another boy, it just wasn't going to happen. I had expectations and if word ever got out my life would be completely over. A small part of me was content with that thought, the larger part didn't want to comprehend it. Luckily it was the weekend and I didn't have class with Jeremy till Monday.

I slide my key into the lock and head inside my house and I hear my mother call out. "Tyler?"

"The one and only," I walked towards her and meet in the kitchen. She looks up at me and sees something instantly.

"You okay? You look a little spooked," out of all the times that she would choose to pay attention, why now?...

"Yeah I'm just a bit tired," I managed. She looked at me suspiciously and shrugged it off.

"Your father is on a work trip and won't be around for a while, I'm not sure how long he'll be gone but until then it's just us," she smiled at me, she seems genuinely content that he's gone. I'm honestly not surprised anymore, I just want them to divorce so that they could continue their lives. I couldn't honestly stand my father and his ways and him being gone for a while was music to my ears, probably why my mother felt I should know. I always brighten up a bit whenever he's not present and find myself home more.

"Peachy," I give her my sincerest smile.

I turn for my room and once in, I toss myself in bed and bury my face in the pillows clutching tightly to the sheets. Images of Jeremy flood in and I can't bring any relief to them. I decide not to fight it and to just mellow in them, the wolf inside content. The urge to see him and feel him close stronger than ever in my solitude. Is this going to be an everyday thing? Immediately I remember that we still have the project that needs to be done, why meeee..!
