Author Notes: Now I'm mixing in facts from season one since I wrote this before actually watching it all; so bare with me. Some things won't be added like Vicki's death but things I think were important would be.
I am sorry it took so long but that chapter I wrote the first time seemed so rushed, so I rewrote it. Then two people got fired at my work for internal theft, and then three quit, and the three people they hired to take their positions stopped showing up after only a week so I've been working so my double shifts. Hopefully the people they hired now will pan out. I'm going to try and have a new chapter up soon, but I'm still on double for the next two weeks or so. But I promise it'll be worth the wait.
Pairing: Tyler/Jeremy;
Summary: Tyler marks Jeremy as his.

Unseen Hearts: BondTyler blamed it on the heat of May. They had been a couple for over a month now, well secretly anyways. Jeremy had been okay with that as long as Tyler did not have a girlfriend. Which he didn't breaking up with Vickie proved to be easier since she broke up with him first. She was now dating one of his team mates, not that he cared. He and Jeremy decided they wanted to keep things quiet for now, wanted to make sure things didn't get out of control. It was also a plus that Tyler graduated in just a week or so.
Tyler blamed it on the heat, he really did. Because if there had been no heat than Jeremy would have had his shirt on. Then Jeremy would not have been all sweaty and smelling so yummy. He blamed the heat for the reason that he pushed Jeremy up against the tile of his shower while his Aunt Jenna was out, because after all he was part werewolf. He could only take so much before the animal inside of him snapped. Tyler had wanted to wait, he had wanted Jeremy to know how important he was too him. Sex was amazing but this thing they had meant more to him than anything in the past. He felt a connection to Jeremy that went beyond just words. It was a connection that Tyler didn't think he was supposes to question or think about, just accept.
Jeremy nipped the spot on Tyler's neck he marked all those weeks ago. The spot that tingled when ever Jeremy got to close, or when the moon was high, the spot the burned whenever Mason got too close. Jeremy smiled when a desperate sound escaped Tyler's lips, the shower was supposes to cool them off. Okay maybe it was a bad idea taking it together, but Jeremy had insisted and Tyler was too weak to say no. Turning them around Jeremy pinned Tyler against the cool tile. Moving his lips down his body he dropped to his knees moaning at the taste of his skin. He wanted this no scratch that he needed this. He needed Tyler on a level that he didn't understand but than again Mason said that was the idea. So if Tyler wouldn't take him he'd take Tyler.
Tyler dropped his head back closing his eyes as one of his hands slide through Jeremy's silky hair. Jeremy moved Tyler's legs farther apart as His mouth nipped and sucked at his thighs smiling as Tyler pulled his hair. Tyler hissed as Jeremy's hand wrapped itself around him, moving up and down twisting when it got to the right spot that always made Tyler howl. Jeremy was still biting and sucking at his thighs ignoring the pulling of hair, because Tyler wanted Jeremy's mouth on him and he wanted it now. Tyler screamed out his name once he got it, once the hand that was pumping him was now holding his hips down. Once those pink lips that were kissing his skin were now sliding up and down scraping teeth along the sensitive skin. Sucking hard until he would greedily lick the pre-cum off the tip before taking him back in his mouth.
Tyler couldn't take it, the need for Jeremy was too strong, and this was not satisfying it one bit. Pulling Jeremy up shoving him against the wall he heard Jeremy laugh in delight as Tyler turned him around. Tyler moved Jeremy's legs apart while Jeremy braced himself for what was about to come, knowing that it would not be gentle. This was what Mason warned Tyler about, the werewolf inside of him would snap if he did not listen but Jeremy was not afraid. Actually it was the opposite, which was also a part of their bond. No matter how out of control things get Tyler would always be unable to hurt Jeremy, it went against his instincts. Just as Jeremy would never fear him, his body knew Tyler better than Tyler knew himself.
Jeremy cried out as Tyler teeth bit into his shoulder the moment he entered him from behind. Jeremy's head was swimming he didn't know whether he was feeling pain or pleasure because right now they were mixed. Tyler moved his mouth up and down Jeremy's shoulder and neck never breaking skin but leaving red marks, as he pounded in and out of Jeremy. Tyler's hands were on top of Jeremy's, pinning them above their heads as Tyler's speed quickened. Neither one of them caring if Jenna came home or not, the only thing that mattered was this moment. Jeremy opened himself up a little wider giving Tyler more room to go even deeper, needing him to go deeper. Jeremy screamed out loud moments later as Tyler hit his spot hard making his entire world spin around him seconds later Tyler went along with him.
"Looks like you guys played hard today," Jenna smiled walking in to see both of them with wet hair, and different clothes when they left earlier this morning.
"Yea," Jeremy chocked trying not to laugh at her words, which got a smirk from Tyler.
"I'm trying to get Jeremy to be a little more active," Tyler explained taking a drink of his water avoiding eye contact with Jeremy's because that would be the end of it. If their eyes met he'd have to pull him up stairs, and in his current condition that would not be wise. He needed to calm his body down first.
"So graduation is soon," Jenna said excitedly; remembering when she graduated. She also knew Tyler's mother was going all out for his party; it was looking to be the event of the year so far. "I know your party is tomorrow."
"Unfortunately," Tyler rolled his eyes. He wished his mother would have listened to him when he said he wanted something normal and low key. At that statement he got a lecture form both his parents on how he was a Lockwood, and this was apart of being a Lockwood. Lucky for him his Uncle was around to make sure things didn't get too out of hand.
"I know I hated mine too," Jenna laughed remembering how stuffy it felt. It was probably why she and her friends created a sub-party. "Do you know what college you'll be attending?"
"I'm staying here," Tyler told her looking at Jeremy briefly than back at her hoping she didn't notice. By her expression she didn't. "As for a major I'm still unsure…I thought I'd take some general classes my first semester."
"I think that is normal," Jenna sighed remembering being eighteen. Her head was all over the place, she was just trying to make sense of everything; heck it wasn't far from what she felt now.
Tyler nodded wishing he had someone like her in his life. His father wanted to control his life, wanted to plan out his entire future for the next twenty years. At the top of that list was not becoming a werewolf. Mason said that it could vary from person to person he did not turn until he was nearly twenty-one years old. Then there were some who turned when they were sixteen; but in most cases it happened between the eighteenth to the twenty-third birthday. So Tyler knew he was a ticking time bomb, because they still had no idea what triggered the curse for one member and not the other. The only good thing was that Mason was here for Tyler, if he should ever need it. Tyler looked over at Jeremy who was putting away his dishes, because he knew he also had him. That came him more relief than anything.
Tyler watched as Jeremy did everything his mother asked him to do and beyond. He moved tables, fixed flower, hung painting, took them down replaced them and then changed them back again without one word of complaint. He then changed his tie twice because his mother decided he didn't look good in either of them. Tyler bit back his snicker when his mother tore off the second tie with a crinkle of her nose. Running up stairs she got one of his father's old ties to give to Jeremy telling him to keep it, she decided red was his color not green or whatever color this second one was.
Richard looked at the tie as Carol put it on him, he was about to say something but Tyler watched his mother give him that look. It was the only look that his father ever seemed scared of, the only look that could stop him dead in his tracks. He closed his mouth smiled at Jeremy than went on his way as they gave the last few preparations for the party. Mason was standing in the background feeling his heart go out to Jeremy because it was clear Carol Lockwood knew. She knew what Jeremy was to her son, and this was Carol way of "welcoming" him into the Lockwood fold. His heart went out to the poor kid because he had no idea, and for Tyler's sake mason would not speak. Tyler had too much going on now; he needed to think his parents were oblivious to his relationship with Jeremy.
Carol Lockwood loved Jeremy Gilbert. What was there not to love about a male that listened and took orders like he did? She watched her son smile he thought he was so clever and smart. He was going to have to do better than that to fool her and Richard. But she loved Jeremy, because as Mason told her only an hour before he was the reason Tyler was tamer now. Mason had asked her to keep it down after the tie incident. Tyler needed this to be a secret for now. He would turn, he was showing the signs and he was affected by other packs. But that was okay a truce had been made with the Salvatore brothers; her son was safe. Not only was he safe but he was loved. He was loved in a way that neither she nor Richard could understand, because their love went deeper than any human could understand.
"Have I told you how proud I am," Carol smiled coming up to him fixing his tie, Tyler wanted to push her hands away but he saw Mason. Mason had asked him to indulge his mother and father. They knew they were losing him, not only to adult hood but to his future and they needed this night. So he promised to be good, and allow his mother to swoon all over him.
"Only a hundred times," Tyler mumbled with a roll of his eyes which got a smile and laugh out of his mother. Tyler saw the look in her eyes, it was a mixture of so many emotions and he felt bad. He knew his parents loved him, but they lost sight to how to show their love. Which considering his grandparents he knew why.
"Stop that it is my right as your mother," Carol told him straightening his jacket, knowing this would be one of his last. She knew Jeremy would be doing this for him, just like she did it for Richard. She held back her tears with her smile as her thought went to Jeremy. "Why can't you be more like Jeremy…he hadn't messed with his tie once."
"Because Jeremy's one of a kind," Tyler told her getting her to nod agreement as her eyes went over to her son's mate. He was talking to Mason right now smiling about something than he looked over at them smiling back at her.
"That is what I love about him," Carol sighed feeling her heart break because she had lost her son. But at the same time she felt happiness because the truth was she loved him because he loved Tyler. He loved him without question or bounds, he just loved him period.
Carol knew she could tell him she knew about them but it was not time, Mason had warned her. Tyler and Jeremy were only partial mates; Tyler still had not marked Jeremy so now was a hard time for him. His emotions and hormones were all over the place; add that with the pre-transformation hormones and you had one unstable man. Plus Tyler already felt they controlled his life he needed to have control over this he needed to tell them when he thought it was time not the other way around. Besides the supernatural aspect of it, there was the coming out gay part. Not all people would react well to Tyler being gay, and Jeremy still had two years of high school left.
Not that any of that mattered because as long as there was breath in her body, as long as she had the power and the will no man or beast would harm her child or Jeremy. She watched him walk towards Jeremy slowly saying his hellos kissing a few girls on the cheeks watching them blush. She could only smirk when she thought of the reaction there would be when everyone knew. That of all the girls that tried to win him, all the girls who seduced him, it was a guy that finally won her son's heart. She looked around watching Richard smiling at Tyler. Normally he was trying to leave, or making a scene but not now. Jeremy truly was the best thing that happened to him.
Mason could feel it burning his turning would be soon he could feel it. He watched Jenna walk in with Alaric as her date which was fine, he was no good for her and he knew it. But that did not mean he would not protect her, because he would with his life. Elena was here with Damon because Stefan was out doing something or another. Katherine had been spotted close to here so he was off to check up on that which had annoyed the hell out of Elena. She wanted to enjoy the night with her boyfriend not his brother, but it seemed Damon was on his best behavior. Which he knew would prove to be a challenge for the eldest Salvatore. Especially since Richard Lockwood was not one of his favorite people in the world.
"Your brother smells," Damon groaned into Elena's hair as they danced check to cheek, he was trying to concentrate on her sweet smell but they just reeked.
"He's dating a werewolf," Elena laughed into his ear not wanting to think more about what they do. The idea of her brother having sex was creepy but knowing it was with a werewolf made it even weirder.
"They should shower alone," Damon complained crinkling his nose as he moved them towards the other direction. "Or get stronger body wash."
"Stefan never complains," Elena sighed holding back more laughter.
"Stefan never around anymore to notice," Damon reminded her regretting his words when he said it. The pain that flashed in her eyes was enough to break him into two pieces, which was not his intent. "I'm sorry that was rude."
"But true," Elena mumbled looking down, than up towards the door. She could not let her hope fade that Stefan would prove once again to be her white knight. "Part of me is still hoping he'll walk right in and steal me away from you."
"I'd have to kill him," Damon told her hoping that got a smile but it didn't, so he went to plan b. Jenna had begged him to take her, to get her over being left by Stefan at the last minute. "No more Stefan talk because I personally find that topic boring as hell."
Elena smiled that time allowing Damon to pull her closer, as the music carried her away. She had no idea where Stefan was just that he was obsessing over Katherine again. Ever since it was revealed she was close he had been obsessed with finding her and stopping her before she did something to Elena. Damon had tried to stop him knowing it would only get him killed or worse under her spell again but he never listened. So Stefan ran off hours before Tyler's party leaving Elena to be dateless and broken. He was shocked to see Jenna outside his front door, but she could not handle seeing Elena so heart broken. She had actually ordered him to dress and pick Elena up, and that he would face her if she was not there on time.
Damon looked over at Jeremy and Tyler who were talking; he wondered how people did not see it. Neither one had been on a date in weeks. He knew Tyler's reputation this should raise a red flag to someone. Yet not one person had even put together the pieces. It really amazed him at how human only saw what they wanted to see. Like right now as they talked they were standing just a little too close, their hands would 'accidentally' touch every few minutes, and then there were the blushes that would creep across their faces when someone would get close. Damon really wanted to know how no one could see it, they were practically screaming from the roof tops tonight, which might be because the full moon was close.
Tyler might not be a full werewolf but the moon cycle still affected him and would until it was decided if he would turn or not. Everyone had noticed he was slightly irritable today until Jeremy had arrived. He was the only thing that kept Tyler at ease but it was wearing off, soon Tyler would need to part. That would be the reason Damon could only get to close before he got nauseous, because it smelled like he and Jeremy had a quick round in the shower before dressing to come here. Damon could tell by the look of it that that was just the prequel. Mason was already making his excuse to exit. Damon made a mental note not to walk Elena into her house tonight.
Jeremy cried out loud as Tyler teeth sank into the same spot it had marked earlier, Tyler hissed as the blood passed through his lips. Jeremy squeezed his hips wanting him to go faster, to go harder. Tyler's lips were moving tasting sweat mixed with the small drops of blood, he was addicted to the taste of Jeremy. Finally his tongue was battling Jeremy in a useless battle because Tyler always won, Jeremy always let him win. Only because Jeremy swore the taste was better, Tyler had this taste about him when he was in control. It was sweet and spicy; tasted better than any desert or drink he'd ever been given and was way more addictive.
Clawing at his back and leaving mark Jeremy arched himself into Tyler as his body shook. Tyler hissed as he was so close, the moment Jeremy ragged nails scratched at his back dragging the nails up and down. Then as Jeremy fell over his nail dug into skin breaking it, the pain trigger his release. An affect of the full moon was what Mason said, their need for pleasure got mixed with the small need for pain. That was why an hour before Jeremy was on top pounding into him from behind while biting at his shoulder. Falling on top of Jeremy Tyler felt peace for the first time tonight, his body finally somewhat sated. But he knew it would not last.
"We've been at this for four hours," Jeremy gasped looking at his clock unable to believe that he was no tired yet. By now he should want to pass out, but his body felt more alert than it had ever.
"It's the moon," Tyler explained rolling off of him closing his eyes his body was still on fire. He could feel Jeremy next to him could feel the need to mark him, to make him his finally.
"I'm not complaining," Jeremy told him kissing his neck, than laying his head on his chest. Tyler wanted to tell him to move but the skin to skin contact just felt too good. God how did his uncle live though this every month?
"After graduation I'm telling my parents," Tyler announced with a deep sigh, shifting back and forth biting back a moan as Jeremy hands came in contact with sensitive skin.
"Are you sure," Jeremy asked quietly lifting his face up to look at him, both of them trying to ignore the musky tangy smell of sex mixed with blood.
"We're mates," Tyler told him softly touching his face getting Jeremy to smile sweetly at him. "The longer I take to tell them I'm with a guy the harder it will be on everyone…unless you don't want me too."
"I love you," Jeremy confessed to him. No one but his mother had ever said those words to Tyler, and meant it. It filled him with a feeling he could not describe to anyone. "So of course I want to."
Tyler brought Jeremy's lips down to his for what was supposes to be a gentle kiss, but ended up being a little more passionate. Jeremy hovered above Tyler as he felt hands moving up and down his back gently. Nothing about this was like the rest of the night; the touches were gentle and sweet. Tyler wanted to feel Jeremy against him he wanted to make sure this was real and not another dream. Tyler groaned as the sweet and salty taste of Jeremy flooded into his mouth; god how he loved that taste. Never before did he get so much pleasure from just a kiss.
Jeremy slowly sank his body into Tyler, swallowing his gasps and small whimpers. He needed to feel Tyler right now; he needed to be as close to him as he could. He felt Tyler wrap his legs around him waist pulling him deeper, felt his body align into his just right for just the right amount of friction. Jeremy's mouth moved to Tyler's shoulder nipping and licking where he once marked him as his. He could taste blood there which made dizzy, but also made him ache. Moving his lips back to Tyler's he swallowed Tyler's moan as he wiggled against him causing all amounts of sensations to course through their bodies.
Jeremy could feel Tyler against him, could feel his hands roaming up and down his bad. He could feel those hands go to his butt pulling their erections together or at least trying because Jeremy refused to go this soon. Tyler just wanted them to be as close as possible, even though he didn't think they could get any closer at this point. Their bodies were almost melted together as one body, right now it was hard to say where Jeremy started and Tyler ended because they were just so tangled together. Tyler legs were stilled wrapped around Jeremy's waist, his feet digging into his butt just by where his hands had been moments before. Jeremy's mouth moved from Tyler's mouth to his neck, Jeremy's hands never let go of skin, right now their hands had become entwined, and Jeremy had them pinned above their heads.
Jeremy's movements were slow and steady this wasn't about need or lust. This was about connection Tyler moved Jeremy's mouth back to his clinging to it for dear life. His body had already been in sensation overdrive so every touch that was shared made Tyler feel more than he thought he'd ever feel in any life time. He felt his shoulder it burned from where earlier Jeremy had marked him once again. Moving his mouth to Jeremy's shoulder he nipped the still swollen mark from their last love making. He laughed when Jeremy gasp the nip trigged something in Jeremy, and Tyler realized what it was but he didn't care right now.
Jeremy moved a little faster against Tyler put kept their hands pinned down as he tilted his head so Tyler could get to the small mark on his shoulder. Jeremy had them both on the edge, and he slowed down his movements which got a hiss out of Tyler. Jeremy wanted to drag this out he wanted to stay this close to Tyler for as long as possible. Jeremy cried out gripping at Tyler hand harder pressing them into the mattress even more as Tyler's teeth sank into the spot he bit earlier. The taste of blood hit Tyler, but this was different than the small traces of blood he had earlier, this time he could taste it flooding his mouth. It should sicken him having blood in his mouth but it didn't, Tyler could only think more.
Because right now Tyler could actually feel Jeremy like he had never felt him before. He could feel his thoughts, his emotions, he needs, and desire, in this moment he felt like he and Tyler finally one body, mind and soul. Tyler could feel the same thing, but finally their bodies betrayed them and their release came. It was different then before, never had they felt one like this. The room had spun before but this time it did not stop, nor did their shaking. This time Tyler could hear voices, and Jeremy could see faces as he closed his eyes. Tyler could smell Jeremy all over and the smell was all he could smell, while Jeremy could smell something earthy. It smelled like grass dirty flowers and something that he could not name but it was here in this room with them. For this moment in time the world stood still.
Soon the pleasure was too intense they literally passed out from it, but the affects still linger when they woke up hours later. Tyler knew what happened; they had bonded. Tyler work up first amazed that no wound was on Jeremy's neck but he did find a scar there. Mason mentioned how due to the amount of werewolf blood Jeremy had consumed over the past weeks he would heal faster. The scar was his mark, any werewolf that came near him would smell and see that he belonged to another. Jeremy woke up minutes later smiling as he cuddled closer to Tyler; right now things were good. Right now there was nothing else that could make Tyler happier. So he just held onto his mate, closing his eyes and enjoying a peace he had not felt for ages.
"Is everything okay, Mrs. Lockwood," Jeremy asked softly, because she had this dazed look on her face. At first Jeremy thought she was thinking but she had the same look for almost fifteen minutes.
"Your parents would be proud of you Jeremy," Carol told him softly looking at him, he smiled back. This statement caught him by surprise. One because few people mentioned his parents, and two due to the trouble he had earlier this year most thought the opposite. "Especially your father…you remind me of him so much."
"That what Aunt Jenna says," Jeremy blushed looking away, but not out of shame. The fact that people thought he could be anything like his father filled him with a joy and pride no one could take from him. His father had been the greatest man he knew, and if he could be anything like him he'd be proud.
"Tyler reminds me of my brother," Carol sighed watching him talk to Mason and Richard in the distance. He looked just like her brother, and oh how the girls had fallen for him at sight. The way he smiled.
"I didn't know you had a brother," Jeremy smiled watching her smile as she watched Tyler laugh at something Mason said to his father.
"He was killed in a car accident year ago," Carol explained softly looking down the sadness sin her voice was there. "I wasn't even with Richard yet."
"I'm sorry," Jeremy told her, and she knew he meant it. And she knew he meant it and for a moment she regretted saying it, knowing that his wound was still fresh.
"I know Richard seems distant compared to your father," Carol sighed looking at her son's secret boyfriend. Well not so secret, Tyler had all but come out and said it. She knew he was testing the water to see their reactions. "But he loves Tyler more than his own life, and his happiness means everything to him."
"Why are you telling me this," Jeremy asked wide eyes, and Jeremy knew that she knew at that moment. Carol knew she could confess it, but she heard Mason voice and she knew he had been right. Tyler needed to control this, because in his life there was little he could control anymore.
"Because your Tyler's best friend," Carol lied giving him her bets smile both of them not believing it one bit. But Jeremy smiled pretending to accept what she had given him for now.
"That would be Matt," Jeremy told her his eyes went to Tyler hoping she did not see what was there. Tyler looked over at him smiling then back at Mason who said his name.
"He and Matt have been so distant since his break up with Vicki," Carol said unable to keep the venom out of her voice when she said Vicki's name; she hated that girl with every fiber of her being. She was not good enough for her son, and she did mean to hate the girl. She knew she was young and lost; she knew how hard life could be. "So will you tell him…remind him that some men can't say the words they feel they have to show it by actions."
"His new car," Jeremy guessed getting her to nod. Richard Lockwood could give speeches that made people cry, that energized them but when it came to telling his own son how he felt he could not form the words. So he always stuck with things. It was one of the few decisions in his life he regretted but he did not know at this point how to rectify it. "I'll do my best Mrs. Lockwood."
Carol Lockwood loved Jeremy Gilbert at that moment more than she had loved him the night before at the party. And when the truth came out she'd hug him like she'd hug Tyler. She's hug him, and she'd welcome him into their family because Jeremy had proved that that was where he belonged. Tyler walked over as his mother walked from Jeremy, she hugged her son. Tyler was taken back by this but hugged her back, since last night with Jeremy he had been calmer than ever before. She touched his face holding back the tears as she walked towards his father and he walked towards Jeremy.
Soon he'd be out of high school, he'd be on his way to college, renting his first apartment, getting his first job; he'd be his own man. But no matter what he did no matter where he went he would always be her baby boy. Carol Lockwood remembered when she got told she'd never be able to have children. She cried for hours Richard held during those hours telling her that this was not the end. She was a Lockwood now, and a Lockwood does not give in they fight. They began to look into every possible way; to having a surrogate to adoption, anything that would bless them with a child. And then the day came just months after being told she'd never carry a child she found out she was carrying a child. It was Jeremy's father who told her she was, because he was also the one who told her not to give up the faith.
Her pregnancy was a long and hard one; it was why she never got pregnant again. But instead of showing Tyler with hugs and kisses they showered him with gifts and material things. She wished that Richard was more like Grayson Gilbert he had been the father every child wanted. She wished he had been more open with his feelings maybe than Tyler would be more open but the past could not be undone. So she waited here until her son knew he could trust them with the truth. And she could wait, because she loved her son and his happiness meant more to her than anything. Jeremy was just like his father, and that was the exact reason Tyler loved him.
