"Don't you have anything better to do than watch me sleep?" Christian grumbles when he notices his older brother standing at the end of his bed

"Don't you have anything better to do than watch me sleep?" Christian grumbles when he notices his older brother standing at the end of his bed.

"Elena's down the hall, she's gonna flip when she sees him here" Damon says grinning. Christian rolls his eyes and sits up. He groans and rubs his face tiredly.

"And I care because?" Christian asks leaning against the headboard. He raises an eyebrow at Damon while Jeremy shifts in his sleep. Christian glances down at him, a small smile appearing on his lips. Damon's smirk turns into a more genuine smile. "What are you doing here?" Christian questions.

"Stefan, Elena and I are working together" Damon wiggles his eyebrows.

"Still on the 'let's free Katherine' bandwagon?" Christian says sarcastically. Damon ignores his tone.

"You know there was a time when you and Katherine were buddy buddy" Damon reminds him.

"That was a long time ago" Christian reminds him. "I've got other priorities."

"Yeah, figured as much" Damon glances at Jeremy. "It'll be fun, might have to go after this Anna chick"

"If it gets to that point, then come talk to me" Christian tells him. Damon nods and goes to leave but Christian stops him. "I love Stefan, he's our brother but something about him and her agreeing to help you doesn't sit well with me... I'd be careful" Christian warns him.

"Duly noted" Damon says before leaving the room. Christian sighs looking down at Jeremy. He grins pushing Damon and his quest to free Katherine to the back to his mind.

He slides back down the bed and presses his chest against Jeremy's back. Christian breathes in his scent and grins. Unable to stop himself, Christian presses his lips against Jeremy's shoulder. He continues to pepper his skin with kisses before Jeremy rolls onto his back and captures Christian's lips with his own.

"Good morning" Christian whispers. Jeremy tiredly opens his eyes. Christian pecked his lips again before sitting on the edge of the bed. Jeremy groans as he stretches his limps.

Christian pulls on some underwear and pants before walking over to his desk. Jeremy's eyes follow him as he walks across the room.

"I should be getting home, Jenna's probably looking for me" Jeremy tells Christian.

"Trying to get rid of me already?" Christian asks smirking at him. Jeremy laughs sitting up.

"I haven't been home in three days, I'll be lucky if I don't get grounded" Jeremy tells him. Although he didn't really sound worried.

"I can come with you, explain to Jenna why you haven't been home" Christian suggests. Jeremy scoffs.

"Yeah, because telling my aunt I've been in my 22 year-old boyfriends bed for the last few days is exactly what Jenna wants to hear" Jeremy say sarcastically.
