*Skipped Bad Moon Rising.. This chapter starts the morning during the episode of Memory Lane but doesn't really get into that episode... It's a short chapter but I hope you guys still like it*

"Katherine, don't you know about personal boundaries?" Christian groans as he wakes up with her lying on her side beside him. It just happened to be one of the rare mornings where Jeremy hadn't spent the night.

"Not when it comes to my best friend" Katherine smirks poking his side.

"We're not best friends" Christian says turning his head towards her. She pouts playfully.

"Oh, come on, Chrissy Poo" She whines. "Why are you fighting our chemistry?"

"Because there is none" Christian denies. She rolls her eyes at him.

"You were a lot more fun when you were human" She says climbing out of bed.

"Yeah, when you forced me to be your friend" He says. She smirks deviously and turns towards him. She speeds back to the bed and hovers above him, her hands resting on either side of his face.

"But that's just the thing" Katherine whispers. "I never forced your friendship, did I?" Christian doesn't answer. "You've always felt conflicted with our friendship, haven't you?" She asks resting her weight on his chest. "You want to be friends with me, you like being friends with me" She says trailing her finger across his cheek lightly. "But there's that little bit with me and your brothers"

Christian doesn't say anything. He couldn't exactly deny what she was saying. He did enjoy her company, he did enjoy her friendship. But she compelled and used his brothers, she turned them against each other. Christian may put Jeremy before his brothers but his brothers came before Katherine. Jeremy's the only one who comes before Damon and Stefan, despite Christian being royally pissed off at Damon.

"What I did with Damon and Stefan was just some fun, a way to pass the time. I like you Christian, and that's the truth" She tells him.

"I like you too, Katherine" He admits making her smile. "But as long as you put my brothers through hell, we're nothing" She gives him a sad look as he gently pushes her off of him and he climbs out. "Besides, Katherine, any friendship we did have or will have won't last... You'll disappear like last time and continue to run from whoever you're running from" Katherine looks at him more interested. "Like I said before, I know you, Katherine. Damon's not so bad that you would want just him to believe you were stuck in that tomb all these years"

"Clever" She says with a small smirk. "I guess I haven't learned to stop underestimating you"

"Seems like a problem a lot of people have" He shrugs grabbing some clothes.

"You don't want to be friends? Fine, I'll respect that because I like you so much" She says sauntering over to him. "But I still want that drink you promised me" She tells him.

"Something came up last time" Christian tells her.

"Oh, I know" She nods smirking. "Trouble with Elena's little brother" Christian gives her a warning glare. "Jeremy's lucky, I'd kill for someone as loyal as you. For someone to love me so much they'd kill their own brother for me" She whispers her eyes growing distant.

"To bad I'm gay, right?" Christian jokes lightly. She gives him a small smile. "I'll get back to you on that drink" He says before leaving the room.

"Make sure it's soon, I'm not exactly a patient person" Katherine calls out to him.

Christian rolls his eyes and spent the rest of his day with Jeremy. He even dedicated a couple of hours towards his businesses knowing that he couldn't ignore it forever.

"So, Damon's pissed off a werewolf, huh?" Christian mumbles standing next to Stefan in the town park. "Why doesn't that surprise me?"

"Mason Lockwood" Stefan confirms quietly.

"That Mason Lockwood?" Christian asks nodding ahead of them. Stefan follows his gaze and sees Damon talking to Mason.

"Yeah" Stefan mumbles in annoyance. A moment later Mason walks away from Damon. Stefan approaches the eldest brother and Christian follows with hesitance. He still hadn't forgiven Damon but with a werewolf running around they would need to work together. 

"Please tell me that you were just bonding" Stefan pleads Damon.

"So, what's up this faux drama in your relationship?" Damon asks. Christian frowns not understanding. "Stefan and Elena 'broke up'" Damon tells Christian with air quotes.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan asks him.

"Oh, come on, Stefan" Damon rolls his eyes. "You and Elena don't fight, especially not over me"

"Drop it, Damon" Stefan warns. Christian didn't know what exactly what was going on but the whole situation just reeked of Katherine.

"Would you like some lemonade?" The girl behind the table asks.

"Thank you, sweetie" Damon grins picking the cup up.

"So, what are we gonna-" Christian is cut off by Damon's excessive coughing. "Do you mind? I'm talking" Christian deadpans.

"What's wrong?" Stefan asks quickly.

"Vervain! Vervain!" Damon chokes making the other two Salvatore's tense and look at each other. They both knew Mason had done this and that didn't settle well with them.

"Do you know how not to get on someones bad side?" Christian asks Damon handing him a bottle of water. Damn snatches it and takes a mouth full. He washes his mouth out. "At this point, it'd be easier to figure out who doesn't want to kill you. News flash, I'm not on that list" Christian snips.

"Not now" Stefan says sternly. Christian rolls his eyes but silences.

"I'm gonna kill him" Damon growls angrily.

"Listen to me!" Stefan says grabbing Damon.

"I'm not listening anymore to your 'give peace a chance' crap. He's dead!" Damon snapped.

"Ok, I don't like it. He's making threats. He could expose us. We need to put him down." Stefan reluctantly agrees.

"Stefan agreeing to a plot that ends with a demise?" Christian asks giddily. "About time" He growls.

"Let's go" Damon says following Mason into the woods.

"Man, it's been too long since I killed someone" Christian says following after Damon quickly. Stefan sighs and reluctantly follows his brothers.

"Don't look so surprised" Damon says when the three brothers make a semicircle around Mason deep within the woods. "You knew this was inevitable (A/N: Check out my book Inevitable if you haven't already!)" Damon shrugs smirking at Mason cockily. "Go ahead, run. I'll give you a head start"

"Oh please run" Christian practically begs. "I love a good chase" He growls smirking widely. Mason stares at the three of them before kneeling to the ground. Christian frowns is eyebrows before he falls to the ground after being shot by Liz. His brothers fall to the ground seconds later.

Knowing, from Mason, that Christian is the strongest and most ruthless of the brothers the deputies make sure to keep his body filled of vervain. They didn't want to take a chance of him waking up.

It wasn't until later that night, after all the drama, did Christian even show signs of waking up. He couldn't remember a time when he felt so weak. His eyes felt heavy, he could barely keep them open.

"Here" Christians eyes turn to Jeremy. "Drink this" Jeremy holds out a Styrofoam cup. Christian could smell the blood inside. Jeremy holds the cup close and puts the straw in his mouth. Christian eagerly drinks from the cup feeling his strength returning.

"Styrofoam cup? Really?" Christian asks amused as he sits up.

"I'm sorry but bloody bags are weird" Jeremy shakes his head. He holds out a bag and Christian takes it. Looking inside he sees two blood bags. Christian eagerly takes them and has both drowned within a minute.

"This town is becoming more trouble than it's worth" Christian mutters tossing the bags to the side.

"Elena told me what happened," Jeremy says sitting beside him. Christian glances at him and smiles.

"I hope you had a better day" Christian says. Jeremy smiles and shrugs.

"It was alright, nothing big" Jeremy tells him. "Glad to be with you now though"

"Oh, yeah?" Christian asks leaning closer to him. "Why's that?" Jeremy smiles and Christian can hear his heart beat faster. In a blink of an eye Christian has Jeremy laying on his back.

"You move fast" Jeremy whispers. Christian smirks and pulls his shirt off. Jeremy instantly eyes Christian's chest. 

"As fast as you want, baby" Christian says winking at him. Jeremy sits up enough to take his own shirt off before pulling Christian into a deep kiss. The vampire growls pressing Jeremy into the mattress.

Christian forces one of his legs between Jeremy's. Almost instantly, Jeremy begins to grind into Christian's leg. Christian grins and kisses down Jeremy's neck. He grips the teenagers hips and helps him grind harder.

Jeremy moans panting under Christian. Before Jeremy could process what was happening Christian had undressed the both of them.

"You're mine, Jeremy Gilbert" Christian growls in his ear. Jeremy grins his cock twitching at the amount of possessiveness in his voice. "All mine"
