Chapter Text
Damon's POV:
Everything with Elena had been going great finally. Stefan had given up trying to win her back and he couldn't be any more grateful about it; he couldn't handle dealing with the "hero hair" stealing his girl away yet again.
The elder Salvatore was out at the Grill drinking Bourbon, as he did every night at the bar. After a few glasses, Jeremy walked over to him, tears in his eyes as he sat down next to him. "What's the matter baby Gilbert?" Damon asked, looking over to him. As he listened to Jeremy explain what had happened to himself and Matt, Damon couldn't help but realize how hot Jer was. ~Damn, why am I thinking of this? Clearly he's not ready to move on and I'm with Elena anyway~ Damon thought to himself. Shaking the thoughts away, to think about later, Damon put a a hand on Jeremy's shoulder, trying to comfort him, "He'll have what I'm having" he told the bartender, noticing the young Gilbert starting to breakdown, about to cry some more. ~I'm so gonna regret this later...~ Damon thought, pulling Jeremy into his lap, hugging the boy close to him.
Jeremy's POV:
Jeremy had been fighting with Matt a lot lately, for what reason he had no idea anymore. And he was sick of it, he just wanted to make up with his Matty. But as he walked into the Grill, knowing the other boy would be working. Taking a deep breath, Jeremy walked right up to Matt, "Listen, I'm sorry about all that's happened between us and I just want us to be okay again." He said before he could talk himself out of it. Matt just stared at him a moment before speaking, "Well that's fine you feel that way, but I don't even want to be with you anymore" Matt snapped before turning and walking away before Jeremy could say anything else. Jeremy was shocked to hear Matt saying that to him, so shocked it took him a moment for it to sink in. Once it had however, Jer sank to his knees in tears.
Once he'd cried enough, Jeremy headed out to the bar, just wanting to get drunk until he forgot about everything. Seeing Damon at the bar, he figured may as well go over and sit with him, perhaps the vampire could even compell him to not care... hell he'd do just about anything at this moment. Damon asking what was wrong surprised him a little, but figuring he may as well tell someone, he opened up to him. Even more was the surprise that as Damon put his arm around Jer, he found himself liking it. ~But he's with Elena...and how can I even think about wanting to be with anyone else right now anyway?~ Jeremy thought, as the bartender brought over the Bourbon Damon had ordered for him. Jer picked up the glass and put it to his lips, drinking the entire thing in one gulp. ~Why does Matt hate me so much?~ he sighed, wanting to breakdown again, but finding he had no tears left to fall. Before Jeremy knew what was happeneing after that, Damon had the young Gilbert in his lap. "Damon, what are you doing?" Jeremy asked, looking up at him. ~Damn! He has the cutest blue eyes and I guess he is kind of sexy.~ Feeling himself blush at the new thoughts that suddenly popped into his head, Jeremy covered his face in his hands.
Elena's POV:
It had been several hours now since Elena had heard anything from Damon. She knew he was at the Grill last time she'd called him. But now she was wrought with worry and decided to drive over and find out what was going on. Once Elena got to the grill and walked in, she looked around for any sign of Damon and was surprised to find him with her brother in his lap. As she walked closer she saw that not only was Damon holding Jeremy, but the two had they're lips locked in a kiss. "Damon!?" Elena half yelled at her boyfriend, as she attempted to get his attention, but to no affect; The two guys seemed too busy making out to even notice her there. With a sigh, Elena just walked away to find Matt; she didn't know yet that Matt and Jeremy had broken up and she hoped he could talk some sense into her brother.
Matt's POV:
Matt had surprised even himself at how harsh he had been to Jeremy, but he knew it was for the best; Jeremy had been acting way too strange lately, even worse than Caroline when she was turned into a vampire... After he'd walked off from Jeremy, Matt was just sitting in the break room, not even knowing Jeremy was at the bar, and certainly not caring anyway. He just wanted to be left alone, though it didn't last long. Elena came bursying into the room, "Matt, did you know my brother is out there making out with Damon?" She asked. ~Wow, seems he got over me quick enough~ Matt thought, ~But why is he with Damon? Isn't he supposed to be with Elena?~ "And why should I care? Jeremy's not even with me anymore." He snapped, "Unless you just want me to care that it's with Damon of all people, being he's supposed to be your boyfriend and all." In truth, Matt actually did care, he suddenly came to the realization he'd been a dick with Jeremy. Without even waiting for Elena's response, he walked out to the bar and straight up to Jeremy and Damon. Without a single warning, he put his hands around Jeremy's torso and pulled him away from Damon, "Listen you ass, just because I broke up with you, it doesn't give you the right to start making out with him!" He glared at Damon, "And you, you're supposed to with Elena anyway, who by the way is in the break room wondering what the hell is wrong with you two." Matt shoved Jeremy back onto Damon and for the third time that day turned and left before a word could be said back to him.
