[Ah, moving day. Tyler hadn't experienced this in a while, but he had meant every word he'd told Caroline, back when he had confessed how much he missed her. He and Jeremy had ironed out the details: they were home for Easter, with all that entailed, but only Jeremy would return to Savannah.

Tyler would stay here and start paralegal work for a firm in the next town over. Technically, he didn't need a job (thank you, Lockwood trust fund). But he wanted something to do, and he couldn't transfer to Whitmore mid-semester. But the trustee had spoken, and so Tyler would enroll and take summer classes to bring him up to speed (read: graduate in a semi-timely manner).

It's the day after Easter, and instead of taking a last look at Caroline's place, he's in the kitchen with what remains of a chocolate bunny. He's about to bite into the ears - his favorite part! - when he remembers, he probably should've asked.

Ah, well. He's gonna enjoy those rabbit ears, because a guy only lives twice.]

[Sometimes, normal, boring life is scarier than the supernatural. Tyler could handle big, nasty vampires; he could handle his inner wolf; and he could even handle his best friend's poor life choices. (Jeremy never learnt his lesson. Ever.)

What Tyler couldn't handle was returning to Mystic Falls, sans Jeremy, to finalize paperwork. He was 22 now - technically, he should've been a college graduate. He should've had a degree, be it International Relations or Sociology or something that proved he had potential. Instead, he had wandered between cities with Jeremy, before settling upon Savannah, Georgia as a home base.

It wasn't a perfect life, but it had been a stable one, right up until he gets that call from his family's trustee. As the only living heir to the Lockwood estate, he had to sign some papers and finalize his options for his future. In person, no less.

Once the meeting concludes, Tyler finds himself wandering into the Grill again, partially in search of a familiar face but also partially to figure out just how much has changed since he'd last been in town. Maybe... maybe things've settled down a little. After all, it's not like the Mikaelsons care much for this town anymore.]
