The Vampire Diaries Imagines

Imagine Tyler and Matt fighting over you

It was the evening of Alaric's bachelor party and Jo's bachelorette party. You, Elena and Bonnie made sure Jo had the time of her life but eventually your group of friends fell apart, on both sides. Damon took Elena, Stefan went looking for Lily, and no one really cared about the partying anymore. It had been several hours, after all. 

You would have wanted to eat ice cream with Bonnie and Jo, but you suddenly got a call from Alaric, and just to not tease Jo, you moved away from the two and answered to the call. Alaric and you weren't too close, you were friends but you never spent time alone and you had no idea what to talk about when you sometimes had to be around him. You awkwardly scratched your neck as you put the phone on your ear.

"Hey Ric, what's up?", you asked and pushed your hand inside a pocket while swinging on your feet as you waited for Alaric to speak up. He cleared his throat to get your attention, and you sighed as he began talking.

"Um, hi. You should, uh, come here, Y/N. Like, right now", he said from the other side of the call, and you raised an eyebrow, but promised to be there in a moment. You apologized to Bonnie and Jo, before taking your jacket and running out of the restaurant you were in. You headed over to the Salvatore house, where Alaric's party was apparently held. 

You knew you were in the right place when you heard loud music and yelling inside the house, most of the screams amused and happy but you could hear angry raging around, too. It caused you to run inside in a rush, and as soon as you entered the place full of Alaric's friends, and drunk people, Alaric himself grabbed you from your sleeve and dragged you to the kitchen.

You were shocked to see Tyler and Matt tossing their fists at each other, hoping to hit a jaw or a cheek as they did so. They were both clearly somewhat drunk, Matt even more than Tyler, which surprised you. You ran to them and stopped Tyler from pinning the weaker poor boy against a fridge. 

"Ty, stop!", you shouted and because you yanked him away from Matt, he fell to the floor where he wiped his bloody nose and crawled back up. Matt gave you a look which you couldn't quite read, but you quickly wiped blood off of his cheek and then washed your hand. 

"What the hell are you two doing?", you asked, disappointed in both of them. They had been your close friends for a long while, and you cared about them both equally. You did not want them to be fighting, especially when you knew that they were both friends as well, not only with you, but with each other. 

Tyler crossed his arms, and Matt did the same, mirroring the tanned boy. You stood between them, and Alaric leaned against the doorway, following the situation tightly. 

"Nothing. It's nothing", Matt claimed, but the look in his eyes gave away him lying, so you lightly slapped his head, causing his messy hair to get even messier. You accused him of lying, and then shot a look to Tyler, as if to give him a chance to talk. He scratched the back of his neck, but then snapped back to his own, cocky self. His movements signified confidence, and you wanted to slap the attitude off. Right now, you didn't need this.

"He claimed I could never have someone as great and awesome as you", Tyler spat and he and Matt exchanged glares. Your eyebrows lifted up, while shock took you over. You didn't think they'd feel this way about you.

You noticed how Alaric left the room, not seeming to be interested in teen love drama, and you understood him. In fact, you would have preferred being Alaric right now. Standing there, between your closest friends, was awkward since they apparently had some untold feelings for you.

"Me?", you asked, just to be clear.

"Yeah, there's the big surprise. We're both in love with you, Y/N", Matt sighed and sat down on the floor, his back against the fridge. "I'm sorry Ty, I was stupid", he added and Tyler's look softened.

"Yeah, so was I", he muttered but then looked over to you, "how do you feel about this?" 

You chuckled, and pointed at both of them with your fingers. "I feel like I'm going to leave now. This is supposed to be a happy night for Jo and Ric, and you're not going to ruin it, okay? You two are going to be the friends you are used to be, and get sober, and tomorrow, we can talk about this. Right now, I do not need this kind of stress on my shoulders", you explained, and left the kitchen where the two boys were left.

You didn't know it then, but them being in love with you turned out to be a big thing, and you were put into many awkward, uncomfortable situations. But in the end, you did find love with one of them.
