MINE: Lovely

Jeremy came out from his slumber to feel a warm body holding him close. He felt so comfortable, so good and so very safe. This all felt so right to him, so perfect. He loved the feeling of this body against his. He shifted slightly to get more comfortable and accidently hit the body beside him. Tyler groaned in protest as he was pulled from his sleep.

"Sorry," Jeremy whispered.

"Morning," Tyler said. Jeremy looked up and saw Tyler smiling down at him. He couldn't help the blush that crept up his face.

"Morning," he said back.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm a little sore, but I'll be fine." Tyler nodded. Jeremy noticed then that he and Tyler were still holding hands. He smiled at the hands. "So…"

"We should probably get you home. Your phone's been ringing for a while now."

"Shit!" Jeremy tried to get out the sleeping back but struggled because of the small space. Tyler sighed and opened the bag and they both fell out. Tyler let out a hiss as the cold floor met his skin and Jeremy was just happy that the tanned male had broken his fall. "How are we supposed to unstick our hands?"

"Like this." Tyler let go of Jeremy's hand. Jeremy was more than surprised to see that there was no blood, not even a mark. He looked at his hand in awe but then was interrupted by his cellphone ringing.

"Wait… didn't I lose my clothes somewhere in the woods last night?"

"Jules brought your phone in this morning while we were sleeping."

"How'd you know it was Jules?"

"I could smell her."

"Oh… right…" Jeremy walked to his phone. He saw that there were two piles of clothing. He looked at Tyler.

"Jules."

"Right…" Jeremy picked his phone up. Elena. "Hello?"

"What the hell, Jeremy?" Elena shouted through the phone. "You don't even bother to call and tell us where you are. Who the hell are you with coz I know you're not with Mike!"

"I'm sorry I forgot to call okay. I'm fine."

"Where are you?"

"I'm… I'm just around. It doesn't matter."

"It does, Jeremy… You know what, get home. Jenna and I are waiting for you." Elena hung up then. Jeremy sighed then blushed, only realising then why Tyler was giving him that weird look. Jeremy felt himself go hard.

"We should get dressed and go."

"Right…" Tyler said. He got up from the floor and walked over to Jeremy with a smirk.

"What?" the younger boy asked feeling slightly self–conscious. Tyler draped his arms around Jeremy's waist.

"You smell good." Jeremy chuckled, blushing. Tyler started kissing and licking along Jeremy's neck, making the taller boy shudder in excitement. Tyler moved his hands south till he reached Jeremy's butt. He cupped each cheek with each and pulled Jeremy closer, squeezing the cheeks. Tyler pushed Jeremy back gently till the younger boy's back was against the wall. Jeremy wrapped his legs around Tyler's waist.

They kissed passionately then Tyler pushed into Jeremy gently and began moving in and out of the other boy. Muffled moans and groans filled the cellar as Tyler continued to move in and out of his mate. "Shit… so close Ty," Jeremy murmured against Tyler's chest where he'd placed his head.

"Me too…" Tyler pushed into Jeremy a little faster. He gripped Jeremy's girth then started pumping it quickly. After a few more pumps and thrust Jeremy moaned Tyler's name as he came.

Tyler followed soon after, biting down on Jeremy's neck, reopening the mark and a growl rumbling in his chest, tasting Jeremy's blood against his tongue before licking the wound closed once more. Tyler let Jeremy down gently, kissing him passionately then stepping away. He picked up the towel and cleaned them both off.

"You okay?" Jeremy nodded albeit a little tiredly and slightly dizzy.

"I'm fine."

"Good." They both got dressed quickly then walked out the cellar. They walked all the way to Tyler's house. "You want to come in and shower?"

"Um…" Jeremy could've said no, but he felt it necessary to say yes. "Sure." Tyler smiled brightly and they both went inside. They went up to Tyler's room.

"The showers through there," Tyler said, pointing at a couple of doors. Jeremy nodded and went through. He got naked then turned the shower on and stood under the head, letting the warm water wash over him.

A few minutes later he felt arms wrap around him. He smiled and turned around. Tyler smiled at him and he smiled back. They started kissing slowly then somehow ended up making love again.

When they were done they got out the shower and dried themselves off. They didn't bother to get dressed. Tyler led them back to his room and they got into bed and once again made love… sweet, slow, passionate love and falling asleep in each other's arms.

When Jeremy woke again he found that he was alone in the huge king sized bed. He sat up—flinching slightly at the pain—and looked around the room. He frowned when he didn't see Tyler. He was about to call out when he heard the toilet flush. He sighed and lay back down, facing the doors that led to the bathroom.

A few moments later Tyler walked out, still naked. Jeremy subconsciously licked his lips and he stared at the tanned boys' body. Tyler noticed this and he smirked. He was tempted to use the 'like what you see' line but thought better of it, instead opting to get in bed and snuggle with Jeremy.

"I should really get home," Jeremy whispered a few minutes later.

"I know."

"Elena's going to kill me."

"She'd have to go through me first." Jeremy chuckled.

"I know." There was a comfortable silence. Jeremy sighed. "What time is it?"

"About nine o'clock now."

"Really?"

"Aha."

"Wow… I should really get home. Elena and Jenna are probably worried sick about me."

"Yeah…" They kissed, slowly at but then it got heated and they ended up making love once more.

"I should really get home," Jeremy said, panting slightly.

"I know. I wish you didn't have to go."

"Me too." They kissed quickly then they both pulled away from each other reluctantly then got out of bed. Jeremy had a quick shower then Tyler followed—they didn't want to risk having a shower together. They dried themselves off then got dressed.

Jeremy grabbed his cellphone and they went out. They both got into Tyler's car—Jules had driven Elena's car back home the night before—and Tyler drove them to Jeremy's. When they got there Tyler stopped the car and turned off the engine.

"Well… here we are."

"Yeah… here we are." There was an awkward silence for a few second.

"Um…" Tyler pulled off his armlet. It had a silver tag with Lockwood written on it with looping cursive. The band was made from thick black leather. "Here, I want you to have it." Jeremy looked at the armlet in Tyler's hand for a while. He knew that that armlet was important to Tyler because it had been the first thing the older boy had gotten that wasn't from his father's money.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah… I want you to have it." Jeremy took it reluctantly and put it on. He ran his finger over the name tag and smiled, biting his bottom lip shyly.

"Thanks." Tyler smiled too.

"It's nothing." Jeremy nodded.

"Well um… see you." Tyler nodded. There was another awkward silence then Tyler kissed Jeremy quickly making the younger boy blush.

"Night, Jer."

"Night, Ty." Jeremy got out the car and rushed to the front door. He waved quickly to Tyler then went inside, ready to face his aunt and sister.

"Jeremy Gilbert!" Elena shouted as Jeremy walked into the living room. "What on earth is wrong with you, Jeremy? You don't call, you don't pick then you switch your phone off. Where the hell were you?"

"I was out."

"Yeah… I noticed that part. Why didn't you call?"

"It slipped my mind. I'm sorry." He could've lied and said his battery died, but he'd already been informed more than once that he was a 'terrible liar'.

"Are you on drugs again? Jeremy!"

"I'm not on drugs Elena, swear."

"Then what the hell is going on you?"

"I just… I just wanted to have a little fun."

"You could've called to tell us that you're not dead in some ditch! We were worried about you."

"I'll call the sheriff and tell her he's fine," Jenna said, figuring that Elena had the parental lecture thing down. She got up and left to go make the call.

"You called the sheriff?" Jeremy asked incredulously.

"What else were we supposed to do, Jer?" Elena asked, "You didn't even bother to call!"

"I said I was sorry."

"Yeah well sorry isn't going to help when you're lying dead in a ditch." Jeremy rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to bed. It's school tomorrow." Elena glared at Jeremy.

"Fine. Whatever."

"Good night, Jeremy," Jenna said.

"Night, Jenna. Night, Elena."

"Oh, and I hate to do this to you, but your grounded."

"What?"

"I'm sorry okay. But you can't just go out and not tell us, you know, it's not cool. We do worry about you." Jeremy sighed. He wasn't going to argue about this. He supposed he should've at least called just so he didn't freak his aunt and sister out.

"How long?"

"Four weeks."

"Conditions?"

"Curfew is six on week nights and eight on the weekends. No visitors or late night phone calls."

"Wait… you're taking away my cellphone?" Jenna looked at Elena.

"Well… I mean… fine, no TV or internet unless it is school related."

"Is that it?"

"Yes. You may go to bed now."

"Sure. Good night."

"Night… again."

Jeremy sighed then made his way upstairs and to his room—he could hear Elena and Jenna going on about discipline and what not, but he didn't stay to hear the conversation. He got undressed—leaving him in only his boxer shorts and Tyler's armlet—and got into bed. He logged onto IPM and found Mike in there.

Jeremy suddenly felt horrible. He'd been with Tyler all day and hadn't said a thing to Mike sine Friday night. He felt terrible for that, and the fact that he'd just spent two days having sex with Tyler Lockwood, the same guy that punched his boyfriend and hadn't once thought about said boyfriend. Jeremy sighed as he noticed that Mike had sent in an IPM.

MIKE: Jer? What the hell happened to you man? You haven't called or said a thing to me in two days? Look, I'm not angry at you about the whole Tyler thing okay? Please talk to me.

JGilbert: Sorry, I was sleeping most of yesterday.

MIKE: And today?

JGilbert: I just wanted to be alone today…

It was so much easier to lie when nobody could see him, where they couldn't decipher his tells. It didn't make Jeremy feel any better though, instead it just made him feel like a scumbag.

JGilbert: I'm sorry. I know I should've called you or someone to tell them I was okay.

MIKE: That's okay. So are you okay?

JGilbert: Yeah… I'm better than I was on Friday.

MIKE: =) That's good. I'm glad you're okay Jer. I was worried about you.

JGilbert: I'm fine now, promise.

MIKE: That's good.

JGilbert: I gotta go, I'm grounded [rolling eyes]

MIKE: =( That sucks… but I totally get where they are coming from…

JGilbert: [shocked] WHAT?!

MIKE: [grin] LOL, you know it's only fair.

JGilbert: *sigh* I guess you're right. [rolling eyes]

MIKE: [grin] You know I'm right. =)

JGilbert: Night Mike.

MIKE: Night Jer. I love you.

Jeremy hesitated for a second.

JGilbert: Love you too.

He logged off quickly. He phone vibrated. Tyler. He answered.

"Tyler?" he replied, a smile already making its way to his lips.

"Are you asleep?"

"No. Why?"

"I'm bored. I needed someone to talk to." Jeremy rolled his eyes though he couldn't help the slight growth of the curve of his lips.

"So you decided to call me?"

"Yeah… so talk to me."

"What about, exactly?"

"I don't care, anything. Cars, money… girls." Jeremy laughed.

"Girls?"

"I'm just saying. I didn't mean we'll have to talk about them. I'll get jealous." Jeremy snorted at that.

"Sure Tyler."

"So what is your favourite car?"

"I don't know… so long as it's fast I guess."

"Ah… I see."

"What's yours?"

"Besides a Burgatti?" Jeremy rolled his eyes.

"I suppose."

"Um… there's too many." Jeremy laughed.

"Right…" The conversation continued that way, with the boys talking about nothing in particular till they were both sleepy. "Night, Tyler."

"Night, Jeremy. I love you." Jeremy smiled to himself, not once hesitating with the answer.

"I love you too Tyler." They both hung up and soon after Jeremy dozed off…

…TBC…

So I probably over did the sex thing… but yeah… act now, regrets later… things were a little clearer when I wrote this, hope it wasn't a disappointment…

Anywhoo…
