I thought I was too broken to be loved until you came along

Diego had been in a lot of relationships over the years but the truth was that he had never been in one like this before. He had fallen for Tommy so quickly and that was something that had never happened to him before. After they broke up Diego had felt like he’d lost the right to call him Tommy and it had been so strange going back to calling him Tomas. It had felt so wrong after everything that they had been through together and hearing Tommy call him by his name each time had broken Diego’s heart. He had grown so used to Tommy calling him “baby” or “babe” and the truth was that he hadn’t realised how much he’d loved it until it was all over. Now Tommy was already back to calling him baby and Diego realised just how much he had missed it. It had been a slip of the tongue at the Grill when Tommy had called him it before but now all was right with the world as far as their relationship went and Diego knew that he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I forgot for a moment that you were only with Teo’s girlfriend before me,” Diego admitted as Tommy said he hadn’t lived with anyone before either. There were still times even now when he found it hard to believe that Tommy hadn’t been with anyone else before they met, there was a part of Diego that wished he could say the same but each of his failed relationships had brought him here and after seeing how wrong it could go it made him cherish his time with Tommy that much more so he knew it wasn’t all bad. “At least this is something new we can experience together,” he added with a smile. “Alright, as long as you’re sure you don’t mind,” Diego nodded. He wouldn’t have blamed Tommy if he’d wanted to avoid moving them twice and just have things stay as they were until they found a place that they could move into together but the truth was he was glad that they were going to be moving in together now rather than waiting. “You have no idea how excited I am right now,” Diego grinned as Tommy confirmed that they were really doing this. Considering that just the day before they were broken up this felt like it was too good to be true but it was their new reality and Diego knew that he wanted to make the most of this however long it lasted. “I can’t wait,” Diego admitted. It was a big step and they had only just gotten back together but it was a step he was certain that they were ready for. They had been practically living together before and the truth was that Diego had even started looking at rings before they broke up so he knew that he didn’t want anything to delay the start of their future together anymore than it already had been. “It will be,” he agreed as Tommy said that moving him in would be quick. “Once we’ve found somewhere we can start thinking about making it our own,” he added, knowing that he couldn’t wait to start thinking about the finishing touches that would really make the place home as well. Even though he had been living in Mystic Falls for a while now, he had bought a few things to make his room his own but nothing too much so he knew that it would be good to have that chance when they moved in together. “That works for me,” he nodded as Tommy said that they should get him moved in first and then start looking for somewhere else. Diego nodded once more as Tommy said he wanted a backyard for the puppy to play in and as Tommy turned the question back around on him, Diego’s expression turned thoughtful for a moment. “I’d love a backyard and maybe a pool if we can afford it but if not then that’s fine too,” he admitted. “Honestly as long as there’s enough room for us, a puppy and a few kids then I’ll be happy,” he added with a shrug. “Oh, and a fireplace so we can cuddle up in front of it in the winter would be good too.”TOMAS SILVA

─ as if the worship of a thing might be the thing that breaks it ─
Tomas let out a soft chuckle when Diego pointed out that he had forgotten that he had only been with Teo’s girlfriend before him. “I’ll take that as a complimented.” Tomas joked in a light-hearted manner. He nodded his head at Diego’s next words. He was definitely right when he said that. “I can’t wait.” He was looking forward to waking up each night next to Diego. He was looking forward to hearing his voice first thing in the morning. The thought alone made his heart flutter in a way that placed a smile on his lips. Tomas didn’t mind at all that they would be moving twice. There would be a little break period in the middle of the two moves, so it won’t be a problem for him.
Tomas found Diego’s excitement absolutely adorable as a soft chuckle left his lips. He was quiet as he listened to Diego, nodding his head a few times to show that he was listening. “Yeah, exactly. I hope we can find something soon.” Tomas said with a gentle smile resting on his lips. When Diego revealed what he had wanted for their home, he nodded his head, looking pleased with Diego’s response. “Yeah, that sounds lovely, honestly.” Tomas said with a quick nod of his head following. “Oh, a fireplace would be perfect. Especially since Mystic Falls gets really cold in the winter.” Tomas agreed with a small smile on his lips. “Then it’s settled then. I’m pretty sure this filtered a lot of our options, so finding a place shouldn’t be too hard now.” Tomas said, his eyes relaxing on the younger once again.
“Alright, I officially think that we’ve been in bed long enough. C’mon, let’s wash up. I’ll make us breakfast. Any preferences?” He didn’t mind at all that they were cuddling in bed like this. If anything, he found it really nice but they should also get up and eat something or else they’ll pass breakfast without having eaten anything and Tomas can’t have that.

If Diego hadn’t known that Tommy had only been in one relationship before then he would have thought that he had much more experience than that with them. “It’s definitely a compliment. You’re a natural at being a boyfriend,” Diego grinned. He wished that he could say the same for himself but the truth was that he often felt like he never quite measured up but he was doing his best. “Neither can I,” he admitted. “I missed waking up next to you.” It was never the same without Tommy where and Diego knew that he didn’t want to have to go through that again if he could help it. He had been through breakups before and he had always bounced back sooner or later but losing Tommy had felt like he was losing a part of himself and that was something that Diego knew that he never wanted to experience again. “I hope so too,” Diego nodded as Tommy said that he hoped they could find something soon. Diego knew that there were some who might think that they were rushing things considering that they had just gotten back together but the truth was that he wasn’t really worried about that. Now they were back on the right track and they were picking up right where they left off and the truth was that Diego couldn’t be happier about that. “That’s what I thought too,” Diego admitted as Tommy said that it sounded lovely. “That’s exactly what I was thinking. What could be better than curling up together in front of the fire on a cold day?” he asked, a smile touching his lips at the thought. “It definitely gives us an idea of what we’re looking for, I just hope those things aren’t unrealistic,” he breathed. Finding something that ticked all of those boxes might be easier said than done but Diego honestly hoped that they would find somewhere they liked. Diego let out a groan as Tommy said that they had been in bed for long enough but Diego knew that he was right. They both had work that day so they had to get up and at least start thinking about getting ready. “Alright but can I see you tonight?” he asked as he pressed a kiss to Tommy’s lips before pushing himself up out of the bed. Diego wouldn’t be moving in for another few days and even though he hadn’t really had to ask that question since they got together, right now he knew that he didn’t want to push his luck. Pulling on his clothes, his expression turned thoughtful for a moment as Tommy asked if he had any preference on what to have for breakfast. “How about pancakes?” he suggested. “I tried to make them a few times after we broke up but they were never as good as yours.”TOMAS SILVA

“Oh, thank you.” Tomas’ lips stretched into a soft smile at Diego’s compliment. “I think that’s just the effect you have on me.” Tomas wouldn’t really be able to tell if he had been a good boyfriend to his ex or not, but hearing Diego say that was enough to make his expression soften. “Well, from now on, you’re gonna wake up next to me more often that you’ll never have to miss it again.” Tomas’ voice was soft as he spoke, his fingers still combing through the soft strands of Diego’s hair.
“It definitely sounds very cozy. I like the sound of that a lot.” Tomas said with the same smile still gracing his lips. “In that case, we’ll look for one with a fireplace.” Tomas added a moment later, his voice still soft as he spoke. “I don’t think they’re unrealistic, don’t worry. I’m sure our perfect house is out there, waiting for us to find it.” Tomas knew it was definitely a cliche thing to say but he had a feeling that the house was out there, waiting for them. They’ll just have to look very closely.
“Of course you can, babe. I’ll stop by the station to spend time with you during my lunch, too.” Tomas promised with a softened smile on his lips before he quickly returned Diego’s kiss when he felt his lips against his own. “Pancakes it is.” Tomas got up from the bed to get dressed too, but not before taking a moment to admire Diego. “Maybe it’s because you’re missing a very important ingredient.” Tomas pointed out once he had finished getting dressed.
He turned to look at Diego, his lips stretching into a teasing smile. “My love.” He added a moment later with a chuckle falling from his lips not long after. He turned to make his way to the kitchen to get started on making the pancakes for them to start their morning with it.

“I wish I could take the credit but this is all you. You knew just what to do even before we got together,” Diego said gently. Tommy had been so patient and understanding and it really had meant the world to Diego. He had never once felt pressured into anything and he had found that he had fallen for Tommy before he had even realised what was happening. “I can’t wait,” Diego assured him, a sigh escaping his lips as Tommy ran his fingers through his hair. There was something so relaxing about it and the truth was that in that moment Diego was perfectly content. “I do too,” Diego admitted, just able to picture the two of them curled up together in front of the fire in the winter. “Sounds good to me, I’ve always wanted one,” he nodded. There was so much that they knew they wanted from their dream house and Diego really did hope that they would be able to find something that ticked the right boxes. “I hope you’re right. If not then we might just have to find somewhere that we can do up and make our own,” he shrugged. Diego knew that it wouldn’t be quite the same but it might not be such a bad idea if they couldn’t find somewhere that had everything they wanted. “That would be perfect, I can’t wait,” Diego said, unable to stop a smile from forming on his face at the thought of Tommy visiting the station again. That was something that he had missed more than he had ever felt ready to admit as well. The station was like another home to him and having Tommy there always made it feel much more like that so it had felt like something else had been missing ever since they broke up as well. “I’ll ask Toni to whip up something special for lunch to celebrate. Any requests?” he asked, knowing that his brother would probably be happy to go along with whatever Tommy was in the mood for. Nodding as Tommy agreed that they would have pancakes, Diego got out of bed and got dressed before laughing as he caught sight of Tommy watching him out of the corner of his eye. “Like what you see?” he asked, pausing in what he was doing as he stepped closer to his boyfriend and stole a kiss, unable to stop his own gaze from sweeping over Tommy for a moment before Diego forced himself to continue getting dressed rather than get distracted again. As Tommy said that his pancakes were missing a very important ingredient, Diego couldn’t deny that he was surprised. “Oh yeah? What’s that?” he asked unable to deny that he was intrigued. As Tommy answered him, Diego couldn’t help but laugh. “I can’t believe you just said that,” he teased, not hesitating in following Tommy through to the kitchen once they were both dressed and taking a seat so he could watch Tommy cook.

Tomas' expression softened as he listened to Diego. "Oh, look at you, you're filled with so compliments first thing in the morning. It's actually pretty cute." Tomas said with a soft chuckle falling from his lips. There was no denying that Diego's words were enough to make his heart flutter. Being with Diego felt natural despite him being Tomas' first boyfriend. So many things happened so naturally with Diego and he was definitely very happy and relieved about it. "Me neither." Tomas said with a soft smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He really can't wait for the moment that he gets to wake up next to Diego every single day. It sounded like a dream come true, really.
Tomas definitely liked the sound of a fireplace in their little home. It sounded really cozy. He could easily imagine cuddling with Diego in front of it as they talked about whatever they wanted to talk about. The image alone was enough to put a smile on his lips. "Yeah, if the perfect house doesn't exist, we'll just have to turn it into one." Tomas said with a quick shrug of his shoulders following. It didn't sound impossible, not to him. Not when nothing felt impossible to them.
"You're definitely spoiling me now." Tomas said with a chuckle falling from his lips when Diego asked if he had any requests for a special dish. "I really like his chicken enchiladas, if I'm being honest. Last time I ate it, I dreamt about it for weeks. It was just that good." Tomas said with a soft chuckle falling from his lips. Tomas can't deny the fact that Antonio was an excellent cook.
When Diego asked him if he liked what he was seeing, his lips split into a grin. "How can I not? You're absolutely breath-taking." Tomas complimented in a soft voice. When Diego leaned in for a kiss, he was more than happy to return it before he finally decided to stop staring and get dressed. He did catch Diego staring too from his peripheral vision which only made him laugh. "Like what you see?" Tomas teased with a grin forming on his lips not long after. His teasing ended not long after as he finished getting dressed.
When Diego fell for his little joke, he was all too happy to reveal what the ingredient was, looking awfully proud of his lame joke. "Honestly? Me neither, that was pretty corny." Tomas agreed with a laugh falling from his lips as he made his way into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for them, smiling to himself when he saw Diego sitting down to watch him cook. It was definitely a perfect start to his morning and even when he went into work that day, he was still filled with that very same happiness. It was just the power that Diego had over him.

“What can I say, I’ve had plenty of time to think about all of the things I wanted to say to you if I had the chance,” Diego shrugged. The fact that Tommy’s attitude towards him had changed so quickly had never really made sense to Diego, he had known that there’d had to be something to explain the sudden change in behaviour but he really had thought that it was the stress of having to keep his secret. Now he knew differently and they were back together and he knew that he wanted as many more mornings like this as he could get. This wasn’t his first relationship like it was Tommy’s but it was the first one that had ever felt this real and he knew that he wanted to make the most of it while he could. “Just a few more days,” Diego said, a smile touching his lips as he pressed a light kiss to Tommy’s shoulder. “Exactly. Luckily we’ve got a few people we can call on to help so it probably wouldn’t even take that long,” Diego chuckled. He knew that Toni and Ethan would help and he had a feeling that the kids could probably be talked into it as well. Either way he knew that they would find somewhere regardless of whether it had everything they wanted straight away or whether they had to do some work to the house to make it perfect. “Either way I’m looking forward to having a place that’s ours.” Tommy had already said that he wanted him to move in here and Diego was looking forward to it but he knew that while they were here it would probably still feel like he was living at Tommy’s place whereas the house would belong to both of them. As Tommy said he was spoiling him, Diego couldn’t help but laugh. “I have some time to make up for and besides, you’re making breakfast so it’s only fair,” he grinned. “Is that so? I’ll have to remember that,” he chuckled. “Enchiladas it is then, I’ll make sure he makes them today.” After everything that had happened he knew that his brother wouldn’t hesitate in doing that especially since he knew how much Toni loved to cook. “Stop, you’re making me blush,” Diego said, his cheeks flushing red at the compliment. His head had been filled with so many doubts about his body before Tommy came along, doubts that had all been put there by one of his exes who had taken a great deal of satisfaction from pointing out every flaw. Tommy was working on erasing those doubts but there were still times when they crept back through. As Tommy turned the question back around on him, Diego couldn’t help but laugh. “How can I not?” he asked, repeating Tommy’s words from a few moments ago. “I tried to deny it but you stole my heart that very first night. You’re perfect” Diego admitted. “That was so corny,” Diego agreed, an amused smile forming on his lips as he followed Tommy into the kitchen and watched him start making breakfast. It all still seemed so surreal to Diego, just the night before he hadn’t known how he was ever going to get over losing Tommy but now all of that felt like a distant memory. He was happy and he could see from the look on Tommy’s face that he was too. In that moment he was perfectly content and he knew that from now on things were going to be that much better between them. He still didn’t know what the future was going to hold since Tommy was mortal while Diego was immortal but he knew that they would figure it out together. TOMAS SILVA

Tomas' expression softened at Diego's words. "In that case, you can say as much as you'd like." He said with a soft smile on the corners of his lips. Everything had changed so abruptly and their relationship quickly reached an end. But now that they were together again, he felt like he needed to say countless 'I love you's to make up for lost time, to make sure that Diego knew just how much he loved him. "It'll pass before we know it." Tomas said with a gentle smile tugging on his lips. He was definitely looking forward to Diego moving in with him.
"Yeah, exactly. I think so, too." Their friends could help them find the perfect house if they aren't able to locate it right away and if they aren't able to find one, they could easily buy a house and turn it into their perfect home. Plus, for Tomas, the perfect house needed one thing and that's Diego. Other things don't really matter to him that much just as long as he has Diego with him. "Me too. It's going to be great."
"Oh, fair trade, then. Fair trade." Tomas said with a chuckle falling from his lips not long after. "If he'd like to make something else today, don't say anything, okay? Really, your brother's cooking is great, so I will literally eat anything he makes. I'm not picky." Tomas said with a gentle smile on his lips.
"Well, luckily me, I love seeing you blush even more." Tomas teased in a light-hearted voice. "I just can't help it when I have such a gorgeous boyfriend. I just wanna spoil him with compliments at all times.' Tomas, to put it simply, was mesmerized by Diego and his beauty.
A soft chuckle fell from his lips when Diego repeated his words from earlier. His eyes relaxed on Diego as he listened to him, his expression softening. "Oh, now you're making me blush." Tomas said with a grin tugging at the corner of his lips.
"But you love it." Tomas replied back when Diego told him that it was so corny. There was a grin still locked on his lips as he made his way over to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two of them to start their morning with. It was certainly a great way to start his morning. He'd missed Diego, missed the sound of his voice, his presence... Everything. He was just glad to have him back.
