Another Gilbert (TVD fan fiction)

Meeting Mystic Falls

At the Boarding House*

Damon was hurt that El didn't wanna hangout with him but even though he was hurt, he had a plan.

Driving to the Mystic Grill*

Elena, Stefan, and El drove around town, on their way to the Mystic Grill. As Stefan parked, everyone got out. It was really busy tonight. Half way to the front doors El said, "Oh my God, guys!" "What?" Elena asked and El replied, "Left my purse in the car. I'll meet you guys in there." "Okay" Stefan said as he and Elena walked to the door before he opened it for her and followed her inside. El walked back to the car, grabbed her purse, and hurried into the Grill. Damon was at the Boarding House fighting the urge to super speed to El. They needed to talk... But not now. Later.

El's phone dinged and she checked it as she walked into the restaurant. She looked down and at that moment she hit something, or someone, with a lot of force. "Oh! Sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" Crap, he's hot! El thought to herself. "No that was my fault! I bumped into you!" The hot guy said as he placed his hand on his chest in sincerity. "No it's fine! I'm Eleanor by the way. Call me El though." "Nice to meet you, El, I'm Tyler."

"Well I'll see you around, Tyler?" "Definitely!" Tyler said with a laugh. El giggled as he held the door open for her. They then parted their ways and El walked over to a table where Elena, Stefan, and a whole bunch of people were. Elena greeted her with a smile and introduced everyone. "Guys this is Eleanor-" "Hi! Call me El." "El, this is Matt, Caroline, Bonnie, and Jeremy. El, Jeremy is my adoptive little brother and now yours too." They said their hellos before the blonde boy spoke.

"Oh and Tyler should be back soon. He just went to grab something from the car." Matt said. El sat down and everyone talked. They talked about high school and up and coming Mystic Falls events that El should definitely attend. A little while later Tyler came back and sat down at the table.

"El this is-" Elena began. "Yeah that's Tyler." "How'd you know that?" Elena wondered aloud. Tyler then said, "We bumped into each other as I was leaving and she was entering." "No I bumped into you!" El said with a laugh. "No it was my fault!" Tyler said as he laughed too. "Why don't you two love birds go and dance?" Jeremy asked. El flushed red in embarrassment. Then Tyler stood up. "May I have this dance?" El grabbed Tyler's hand and said, "Of course!" And they walked over to the dance floor. They dance through like 3 or 4 songs and came back to the table. By then, Elena and Stefan, Matt and Caroline, and Jeremy and Bonnie wanted to dance so everyone got up from the table and headed over to the dance floor.

El and Tyler sat down and El noticed that Damon had been standing in the doorway of the Grill for quite some time now. He then started making his way over to the table. El then said to Tyler, "Hey could you get me a soda? I have the cash-" She dug around in her purse. "No I got it." Tyler said with a smile. "Uh thanks!" "No problem." El was surprised to see a boy that looked so tough, be such a gentlemen. He is so buff! El thought, So hot, kind, and even a great dancer, wow.

Damon made his away across the restaurant and then sat down at the table, right across from El. "Hi Damon." El tried to sound nice but she didn't want anything to do with Damon. "Hi El." Awkward pause. "I saw you dancing with Tyler." "Yeah he's really sweet," she told him. "Well where is he," Damon questioned. El answered "he's going to get me a drink" before catching Damon rolling his eyes ever so quickly. "What's your problem?" She questioned, "Are you jealous of him or something?" El thought she could see jealousy in Damon's eyes as he glanced to the floor. In taking a breath and turning back to El, Damon said "No I'm not-" but El wasn't having any of it as she rolled her eyes in return at how childish Damon was being. Tyler walked over with the drinks and El reached up to grab hers from his extended arm.

"Thanks." She said with a giggle. "No problem." He smiled. Damon got up from the table suddenly, unexpectedly. El looked at him and saw a new emotion along side the jealousy, rage. Damon walked out the door without looking back. "What's his problem? Was he bothering you?" Tyler asked El. "No. No, I'm good. We just talked. it's getting late I should probably be heading home."

"Okay." Tyler agreed, "I'll drive you-" El spoke up, "No it's fine you don't have to do that." Tyler replied with, "But I want to and it's no big deal. I'm kinda getting tired of partying too." "Fine, I'll text Elena now since we'll never find her in this crowd. You get the car." "Okay I'll meet you outside." Tyler said.

~Elena & El texting chain~

El: hey ty's gonna drop me off at yours if that's okay.
Elena: Oooohh? Well I'll be here for awhile longer.
El: yup, did stephan drop my stuff off at the house?

El: elenaaaa don't even I'm rolling my eyes rn
Elena: I'm just saying be safe 😉😉
El: you too 😤 have fun
Elena: You're telling me everything later lmao bye

At the boarding house*

Damon was pacing in the darkened living room, angry with himself. Now El knew that he wanted her. But she's probably gonna get with Tyler! No. No, it's fine. It's fine. I'll win her over eventually. Always do.

In Tyler's car*

Tyler drove to Elena's house and El got out of the car. When El got out, so did Tyler. They walked up the stairs to the front porch. "I had an amazing time with you tonight." Tyler said with a smile. "I had a great time too, Tyler."

At this moment they were very close together. Tyler glanced at El's lips and then her eyes. El knew what Tyler wanted, and she wanted the same. They came in even closer, if even possible, and Tyler kissed El. After a little while they pulled away. El loved it and she could tell by Tyler's face, that he did too. "Goodnight El."
"Night Tyler."
