Tyler Lockwood Imagines

Jealousy

"You're going to be my date right (Y/N)?" Tyler asked and you nodded.

"Matt, are you going?" You asked, ignoring Tyler showboating in front of the other people that had gathered around him.

"I don't know I have work." He admitted and you pouted.

"Well I could always sneak in and help, like when the other bartender called in sick." You offered and he shook his head.

"Unfortunately, as amazing a bartender you are, I'd get fired for letting you work unemployed, also they'd hire you to replace me." He chuckled when you grinned.

"Only because I can pour shots faster." You teased.

"Yeah well it's a shame you can't come Matt." Tyler huffed and slid his arm around your waist.

"Its fine I don't even have a suit." She chuckled and you crinkled your nose as you thought.

"Couldn't you just borrow one of Tyler's like the last time?" You offered.

"Oh yeah, you could." Tyler mumbled bitterly and his arm tightened around you.

"Promise you'll try and make it!" You begged and Matt nodded as you kissed Tyler and started walking to class.

"For my best friend, I'd promise anything." He joked and you waved at the boys as you hurried to catch up with Bonnie and Caroline.

"Tyler what's wrong?" Carol asked as she found Tyler shoving things around in his room.

"Nothing!" He snapped harshly and she rolled her eyes at him.

"Sweetie if this is nothing, I'd hate to see something big happen." She smiled when he stopped and kicked as his wardrobe door.

"It's (Y/N) and Matt." He sighed finally and she nodded. "They get on so well and they're always messing around and making jokes, spending time with each other..."

"Tyler they've been friends since they were born." She pointed out and he nodded.

"Exactly, I try really hard to impress her but all he has to do is make a stupid joke that makes no sense and she's basically his." Tyler sighed and she smiled, straightening his tie.

"Maybe you should tell her that, Matt and (Y/N) share everything so perhaps that's what she wants instead of you showing off?" She offered and he shrugged.

"Maybe." He sighed and she shook her head as she left.

"You should try and show your actual emotions, show her you're a bad boy with feelings and she'll be all over you." Carol nodded and hurried off to start greeting guests while Tyler stared at a photo of the two of you and Matt, feeling irritated by the way your head leant on Matt's shoulder despite being sat in Tyler's lap.

*********************************************************

"I think she's going to break up with me." Tyler sighed as soon as he got in the car.

"I don't think she will." Carol muttered and glanced at the irritated boy.

"Mom I got drunk, yelled at Matt then punched him, and told her I hated her when she took him home." Tyler listed off the events he could actually remember from last night.

"You'd be surprised." She said with a smile as he climbed out of the car and slowly made his way up the porch steps, stopping in the entrance way when he found you wondering around nervously.

"Hey, I came by earlier and your Mom said I could wait." You explained.

"We had a lovely lunch together." Carol told him as she waved at you and went to go into the living room.

"You could have called I wasn't doing anything that important." Tyler huffed as she left. "Well let's get it over with then."

"I came to see if you were ok, your Mom has a meeting later and I thought you'd still be hungover... you did drink a lot." You mumbled and blushed when his glare softened.

"Oh um... I'm ok." He mumbled and you nodded, Carol mouthed at him to be emotional and he rolled his eyes. "Thanks though."

"It's ok, I would have come by earlier but I stayed with Matt." You muttered and he clenched his fists, walking up the stairs and leaving you alone, unsure what to do.

"Tyler I'm going to my meeting now, don't forget to give (Y/N) a lift home, these wild animal attacks are getting bad." She smiled when he grunted out a response and you headed up to find him.

"Tyler?" You asked when you found him in one of the dens watching TV and his eyes slowly moved from the screen to where you were stood in the door way. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"Sure, I'm fine, my Mom is best friends with my Girlfriend, my best friend is all over my Girlfriend who seems to not give a damn about me, so yeah I'm fine." He snapped.

"You think I don't care about you?" You asked quietly and he rolled his tongue against his cheek.

"Well when it's a choice between me and Matt you always pick him." Tyler sighed and you nodded slowly.

"Maybe I should just date Matt then." You snapped as tears welled in your eyes.

"Yeah, maybe you should." Tyler watched as you turned on your heels and hurried downstairs.

Your eyes blurred with tears as you hurried to the kitchen to grab your bag, turning and running smack into Tyler's chest.

"Baby I'm sorry I didn't mean it." He whispered and wiped your tears away with his thumbs. "I just get so jealous, you and Matt are so close and always hugging and... I mean last week you gave up a whole day to help Matt out and I want us to be close like that."

"You do?" You frowned when he nodded. "But whenever we're together it's always with other people or we... you know... you never want to do the kind of stuff I do with Matt."

"Well what kind of stuff do you do with him?" Tyler sighed, not knowing if he really wanted to hear your answer.

"It depends, if he's working I'll hang out there and try to help, some times when I go study with him he needs help with the house and stuff or we watch old movies and stuff like that." You watched his face fall and started to panic.

"I don't have old movies and I don't work, I really do not want to study and the house is cleaned everyday by a pro." He sighed and you nodded. "There has to be something... walking you always go walking in the woods and I panic when you don't text that you're home and I always almost get up to go look for you and then you text!"

"You really get that worried?" You asked and he squared his shoulders.

"I mean... not that worried." He mumbled as you lent up to kiss him.

"Walks with you sound fun." You smiled when he nodded and then winced.

"But for today can we just sit with the aircon on and watch old cartoons?" He asked and you nodded, smiling as he took your hand and led you back into the room you'd found him in, watching him vanish before returning with all the blankets from his room.

"Are you sure you're not hung over?" You asked as he settled next to you.

"A little but it's not too bad." He sighed and you moved to the corner of the sofa, pulling Tyler back to lean against you, your feet resting on his thighs as you stroked his hair. "See this is the kind of thing I want to do with you."

"Who knew Tyler Lockwood was such a softy." You teased and he looked up at you.

"Only for you (Y/N)." He muttered and smiled as you lent over to kiss him.
