MINE: Caught

Jeremy was woken by someone pulling the bed covers off his body. He knew exactly who it was but he really didn't have the energy to fight her. He had too much to think about anyway, like: What the hell was going to do about the Tyler and Mike thing?! Because honestly, Tyler was so fricking possessive of him and— Well hell, he was pretty screwed, wasn't he?

"Up," Elena said simply then walked out his room. Jeremy sat up and threw his legs over the bed so they were hanging over the edge his feet were firmly on the ground. He let out a long, drawn out sigh.

"This is messed up," he murmured to himself while running a hand through his hair, yanking at it slightly. He could pick to miss school again, but then Elena would be on his case about that, so that was out the question. He could try and avoid Mike and Tyler, but then that was near impossible. Jeremy sighed; this really was messed up shit to the nth degree.

Jeremy realised then that he was slowly tracing a finger over Tyler's name on the armlet. The teen let out another sigh then got up and grabbed some fresh clothes and went into the bathroom. He had a quick shower, brushing his teeth and hair then got dressed. He returned to his room and grabbed his school bag then went down for breakfast.

"Morning, Jenna," he said to his aunt. Elena was already gone. She was helping with some dance thing at the school and she had to be there early.

"Morning," Jenna replied smiling at him. "Mike called. He said he'd be here to pick you up." Jeremy nodded, eating his breakfast extra slowly. This was not cool.

"Sure, okay." Jeremy continued to eat his food slowly and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable because of the looks his aunt kept throwing his way. She was securitizing him, Jeremy could tell, he could feel it.

"Are you okay, Jer?" Jenna asked after a long moment of almost awkward silence.

"Yeah… Why?"

"You just seem… I don't… distant." Jeremy shrugged still not looking up from his bowl of cereal.

"It's nothing," he lied.

"Okay." She didn't believe him, Jeremy could tell—nobody ever believed his lies anyway. They were quiet for a while. "Oh… before I forget, Elena said I should tell you that you'll be helping out with the dance thing today." Jeremy grumbled something incoherent while rolling his eyes. He wasn't even going to the stupid dance, now he had to help out.

"Sure." They heard a hoot outside. "Well, I guess that's my cue."

"Yeah, later kid." Jeremy got up and grabbed his things. "And remember curfew."

"Okay." He walked out the house. Mike was leaning against his car, waiting for Jeremy. Jeremy felt his heart beat a little fast, because now was the time for regrets. But then quite honestly, he didn't regret what he did with Tyler, he was happy it happened. And that's why he felt so horrible about himself, that he was happy that he'd cheated on his boyfriend with Tyler. "Morning," Jeremy said slowly. Mike pulled him into a hug and gave him the usual morning kiss.

"Morning," Mike said with a soft smile. They got into the car and Mike drove them to school. "I missed you this weekend." Jeremy forced a smile as his heart tugged slightly. Fuck, he hated being in this position.

"I missed you too." They finally got to school and Mike parked his car at his usual place. Just then Tyler drove in and parked right next to Mike's car, on the passenger side. Jeremy felt his heart beat faster again, because dammit, this was not happening to him! He'd hoped he'd at least be able to avoid Tyler, but both boys were right there. Jeremy and Mike got out Mike's car then Tyler got out his.

"Morning, Gilbert, Cowry," Tyler said, smirking like the cat who got the cream. He was the cat that got the cream though wasn't he?—or the Wolf that caught the bunny.

"Lockwood," Mike replied with a nod.

"How are we today?"

"Just fine." Tyler smirked at Jeremy.

"How are you today?" Tyler asked the younger boy, still with that smirk on his face.

"Fine," Jeremy said, trying to keep his emotions and facial expression in check.

"That's… good." Mike and Tyler stared at each other for a few very uncomfortable minutes till Jeremy cleared his throat.

"We should go," he said, turning to Mike.

"Yeah, let's," Mike said, throwing an arm over Jeremy's shoulder and pulling him close. "Later, Lockwood," the boy said over his shoulder. Tyler kept his smirk till Jeremy and Mike walked into the school.

Jeremy was a little unnerved by the whole encounter. Tyler just kept smirking. Why did he just smirk like that and not do anything or say anything else? Why didn't he react to Mike touching Jeremy? What was the damned jock planning?

"Hey, are you okay?" Mike asked pulling Jeremy from his thoughts. Jeremy sighed, blinking a few times then sighing again.

"I'm fine," he replied, smiling and taking Mike's hand. Mike smiled back.

"Good." Mike kissed Jeremy gently. "What're doing after school?"

"Elena's making me help out with the school dance thing." Mike nodded.

"Oh… want me to join you?"

"That would be nice." Mike smiled.

"Okay." They reached Jeremy's locker. "I gotta go get my own stuff ready, I'll see you later okay?"

"Okay." Mike kissed Jeremy for a good minute then pulled away smiling.

"I love you."

"Love you too." Mike smiled brightly then walked away to his locker. Jeremy sighed, opening his own locker, wishing that telling Mike he loved him was a lie. Life was just so complicated!

–?–

Tyler watched as Jeremy and Mike walked into the school. He knew he should be jealous of the two, but he wasn't. For the first time since Jeremy and Mike started dating, he wasn't insanely jealous. He was actually quiet glad about it. He didn't understand why though, it was weird.

He figured that maybe it was because he had gotten something Mike hadn't. Maybe because he was now sure that Jeremy was his, no matter what or who came along, Jeremy would be his. Either way, Tyler didn't really care about Mike being a threat anymore, he was over that. He had Mated with Jeremy, and Mike could do nothing about it.

"Hey, Lockwood." Tyler rolled his eyes and turned. Jules and Bonnie were standing at the other side of his car.

"What?" he said, sighing heavily, just to show how annoyed he was at them.

"We have some good news and bad news," Bonnie said, smiling slightly before getting serious again.

"Okay…"

"The bad news is that we don't know whose after you yet, but we're close, I know it."

"If you call a hunch close," Jules said, rolling her eyes.

"And the good news is that Jeremy's safe." Tyler looked at the women, unsure how to respond to that.

"Safe how?"

"With Mike. See, if whoever is after you, sees Jeremy with Mike they'll figure that you and Jeremy aren't anything."

"Um… I don't know if you've noticed, but Jeremy's got my scent all over him. Don't you think whoever this is will know that a Wolf's Mate always smells strongest like his Mate after they Mate?" Jules gave Bonnie an 'mmhmm' face.

"I told you so," Jules said to Bonnie.

"But think about it," Bonnie said. "If you were someone else and you saw Mike and Jeremy together, even with Tyler's scent, what would you think?"

"Jeremy Gilbert is a lying, cheating cheater." Tyler growled at Jules. "Hey, I'm just calling it like it is here."

"Well… Jules is sorta right, Tyler."

"So what are you saying here?" Tyler asked, already knowing what the answer would be.

"Mike and Jeremy need to be together."

"Are you kidding me? You don't really expect me to allow that."

"We do actually," Jules said. "If you really want to keep Gilbert safe, you'll leave him alone." Jules said this a lot louder than necessary.

"What is wrong with you?" She shrugged.

"I gotta go. I'll see you guys later."

"Yeah… later," Bonnie said walking away.

"Keep an eye on him," Jules said quietly. "We don't know how close this person is." Tyler nodded. He didn't need to be told to protect his Mate, even if they weren't being threatened, Jeremy would be Tyler's first priority.

"Sure."

"Later, kid."

"Later." Jules walked away, waving without turning before she disappeared behind the school. Tyler sighed then walked into the school. He saw Jeremy alone by his locker and he walked over to him.

–?–

After Mike left, Jeremy stood by his locker for a while, not doing much. He didn't get Tyler. Why had he smirked like that? It was just really so unnerving for the young boy. Jeremy let out a sigh then opened his locker. He took his sweet time packing and unpacking things for the day. Things were really messed up.

"You smell good," a voice said quietly behind Jeremy. The boy instantly smirked, his drama forgotten for the moment. "Morning, Gilbert."

"Morning, Tyler," Jeremy replied. Tyler leaned against the lockers besides Jeremy's.

"How are you?"

"I'm alright and you?"

"I'm great." Tyler was smirking again.

"Why do you keep smirking like that?" Tyler shrugged.

"I don't know either." Jeremy just shook his head and rolled his eyes. The bell rang for morning registration.

"Well, I have to go."

"I'll see you later?"

"Um… I'm grounded."

"No stress."

"What?" Tyler chuckled.

"Nothing. I'll see you later." Then Tyler walked away. Jeremy sighed, rolling his eyes. Tyler was so confusing sometimes.

ooooo

After school Jeremy and Mike made their way to the gym holding hands and talking. The day hadn't been so bad for the teen, Tyler had actually behaved, keeping away from Jeremy and only speaking to him when nobody was around to see them.

Sure Jeremy still felt like crap for lying to Mike, but it couldn't be helped, he just couldn't tell Mike the truth because that would devastate him! Jeremy hated that he was lying, of course he did, but there was nothing else he could do.

When the pair walked into the gym, they found that Tyler was there too, helping with the large banner.

"Why is Lockwood here?" Mike asked with a frown.

"I don't know," Jeremy replied honestly. Tyler hadn't mentioned that he was going to be helping with the decorations. "Come on, let's go find Elena and see what she wants us to do." Mike nodded. They stood around for a moment, look for Elena and when they spotted her at the other end of the gym, they went over to her.

"Hey guys, thanks for coming," she said. Jeremy rolled his eyes; he was forced to do this.

"So, what do you need?"

"Well, Jer can you go there and help Tyler out with the banner, Mike could you help Matt with the boxes that side?"

"Sure," Mike said. He kissed Jeremy gently then walked over to Matt.

"Hey, Gilbert," Tyler said with a grin. "Grab that end and help me carry this to the other side."

"Sure, Tyler," Jeremy replied. They picked the banner up and carried it to the other side of the large gym.

"Are you coming to this dance?" Jeremy shrugged.

"I don't know, maybe."

"What does 'maybe' mean? Yes or no?" Jeremy sighed.

"Umm… If Mike's coming."

"Hmm…"

"'Hmm' what?" Tyler smirked again.

"'Hmm' nothing." Jeremy looked at Tyler suspiciously.

"Whatever. Are you coming?" Tyler shrugged.

"I might."

"Won't Stacey want to come?"

"Don't really care. We broke up."

"What?" That was new to Jeremy. He hadn't even seen Stacey in a while—he was grateful for that though.

"Yeah…"

"Why?"

"Is it not obvious?"

"I… I guess it is. Why'd you come help here anyway?"

"I had nothing better to do. I'm not even playing this weekend."

"What about Mike, isn't he playing?"

"Don't know, don't care."

"Right… anyway… aren't we supposed to put this up?"

"No. Your sister said it isn't done yet."

"Right… cool." Tyler pulled Jeremy closer to him. "Wha–what are you doing?" Tyler sniffed at Jeremy's neck deeply.

"You smell really good."

"Tyler, we shouldn't be doing this."

"No one will see us. Look, this banner's blocking the view."

"I don't care. Tyler, my boyfriend's on the other side of the banner, we can't do this."

"If you say so…" Tyler kissed Jeremy's neck gently, licking and sucking on the mark on Jeremy's neck. Jeremy let out a staggered breath as a shiver rocked through his body.

"Ty…"

"Hmm…?" Tyler kissed along Jeremy's jaw till he reached the younger boys lips. Jeremy couldn't resist, he wrapped his arms around Tyler's neck and allowed the older boy to explore his mouth, both moaning as quietly as possible. Tyler grabbed Jeremy's ass and pushed Jeremy against him, their growing erection rubbing against each other deliciously.

Just as the kiss was getting heated, the banner that was dividing the couple and the rest of the people in the gym rattled, making the boys pull away from each other quickly, both breathing heavily.

"Could you two not do that here?" Bonnie said, crossing her arms over her chest, not at all looking impressed by what they were doing. "You know, you're lucky I'm the one that caught you because you guys would have a serious problem."

"Sorry," both boys said, Jeremy looking down and blushing while Tyler's smirk made a return.

"Anyway… Jeremy, Mike's looking for you… and hide that thing on your throat." Jeremy's blush got worse—Tyler seriously needed to stop marking him. He pulled his hoody over his head.

"Bye," he said then rushed away. Bonnie glared at Tyler, who continued to smirk.

"What are you thinking? You know that you and Jeremy aren't supposed to be together."

"I can't help it Bonnie. He just smells so good."

"It doesn't matter what he smells like, Tyler! You know what you're supposed to do…! Well what you're not supposed to do."

"You don't know what it's like Bonnie. It's like… I just need him. I smell him and I need him!"

"I know, Jules and I figured that since it'll be hard for you to keep away from him for too long you can see him in private."

"Yeah… How are you going to do that?"

"Don't worry about that, we'll figure it out soon enough."

"Sure."

"Don't you have football practise now?" Tyler shrugged.

"It's not like I'm going to be playing any time soon, I'm sitting out for the next five games."

"Oh… right… you're an idiot." Tyler rolled his eyes.

"You're beginning to sound like Jules."

"Eew…" Bonnie and Tyler watched Caroline rush to them.

"Tyler?" she said excitedly.

"What?" Tyler asked.

"Is it true?"

"Is what true Caroline?"

"That you broke up with Stacey Mackey over IPM saying you're in love with someone else?" Bonnie looked at Tyler, shocked, she hadn't thought he'd admit that.

"Yes."

"Who is she?"

"Who said it was a she?" And with that Tyler walked away.

"Wait… what?" Bonnie rolled her eyes. "Does he mean… oh my, gosh! Oh my gosh! Is he… is he gay?" Bonnie shrugged.

"Only he can answer that coz you know… he might be bi," the Witch said.

"Oh my, gosh! I have to find out more!" Caroline squealed excitedly then went in the same direction Tyler had gone. Bonnie sighed and rolled her eyes. Typical Caroline!

…TBC…

So yeah… maybe the whole school will find out that Tyler's not as straight as he claimed to be… ah well…

Anywhoo…
