So this idea has been stuck for a while now and it won't leave, so... Here it is. I blame it on Sami and Renee's little segment over on NXT, which was totally sweet. This is a two-shot which revolves mainly around Renee/Sami, though Kaitlyn/Seth is heavily involved (but you already knew that), specifically in this first half. I hope you enjoy, and please excuse the cliché. :)
Part One
It was finally the day of SummerSlam, and a damn scorching day at that.
Renee and Kaitlyn had been at the arena pretty much all day. They were rooming together and had woken up stupidly early - which wasn't so much their intention - despite having the latest of nights. They decided to head over to the arena in the early afternoon to see the stage set up. Of course they approached the situation like any other civil WWE employee - by reacting like over-the-top-excited, crazed wrestling fans. But the arena really was spectacular, plus, it was freaking SummerSlam, the most exciting event of the summer, it was impossible for them to not show their utmost enthusiasm. Just about everyone was overly excited, anyway.
The two of them had spent a near two hours in the indoor gym using the weights, treadmills, and even the ring to kill time, and of course because Kaitlyn needed to prepare herself for tonight's match, which she was more than excited and nervous for. It was just mixed feelings, this was a huge night and something she could have only dreamed of participating in.
The women walked through the parking lot in the blazing sun with the smoothies they'd ventured out to get. They'd definitely earned them after killing their workout.
"Nervous for tonight?"
Kaitlyn took a sip of her drink and nodded at her friend. "Oh, yeah. This is huge. I hope I don't screw anything up, my stomach has been in knots all day. I have no idea how I feel."
"You'll be fine," Renee Young told her. "Anything's worth seeing you spear AJ into next year again."
"I've totally been working on it." Kaitlyn laughed. "Oh, by the way, I meant to ask. The SummerSlam after party, you're going, right? Or do I have to drag you there?"
"Yeah, it should be great. That is of course if everyone is still fit for walking after the show. That includes you," Renee said jokingly, although, she really did mean it. "You're going with Seth, then?"
"Yep, and you're coming with us. Not like a third wheel or anything, he'll be with Dean and Roman, too."
Renee looked at Kaitlyn wide-eyed for a moment as they continued walking, and Kaitlyn just laughed at her friend's fear of The Shield. Renee wasn't so worried about Seth, she'd spoken to him many times because she was really good friends with Kaitlyn and they hung out a lot. The two of them got on well, she knew he was a nice guy and made her friend happy, so he was cool with her. Dean and Roman however...
"Will you relax?" Kaitlyn chuckled. "I told you, Dean and Roman are cool. Well, I think they are... I'm unsure whether they just do it for Seth's sake... but, trust me, they're nice, laid back guys once they loosen up. Especially Roman, he's the walking definition of chilled."
"Whatever you say..." Renee joked, nudging Kaitlyn through the door of the arena. Kaitlyn - still being pushed forward - looked back and laughed, "I'll make sure you guys are best friends within the first hour of the party."
The divas laughed down the halls about the situation; the laughing that was mostly down to nerves. Renee's would be because she'd be making a big appearance on the pre-show later on in the evening. She was in complete excitement mode, but like Kaitlyn, didn't want to mess anything up.
Kaitlyn rushed ahead of Renee and was already at catering, where the wrestlers were likely to be before shows started, and stood there was The Shield and a few other guys dressed in normal gym wear. She frowned as she saw them there, wondering why the three men were there so early, especially Seth and Roman, because they weren't competing tonight...
Just as Kaitlyn was about to walk over to them, her arm was dragged back by Renee's and it pulled her back around a corner. "Renee, what are you doing?" She questioned, her expression completely puzzled.
"We are not going over there."
"What? Why?" Kaitlyn asked, she then shot her head around the corner to where they were stood, and who they were stood with, and she smiled wholly when she saw what the problem was. She turned back to her friend, still grinning as far as she possibly could, which Renee certainly didn't seem pleased about. "Well, well, well. Sami Zayn. Your newest little admirer."
The blonde woman rolled her eyes at the remark. "Shut up, that makes it sound so lame..." She jumped a little as Kaitlyn pulled her back from around the corner and started dragging her over to them, ignoring Renee's frustrated groans. The newest diva quickly slid from her grasp and sighed, straightening out her clothes. "Alright, alright. If we're going to go over there, at least do it in a civil, non-childish manner..."
Kaitlyn just smirked. "Us, non-childish? Come on, we were practically hyperventilating about an hour ago... at a titantron. Now, what does that say?"
"A lot, clearly. Just... do not do anything to attract attention."
"Oh, I think you already have that covered, sunshine."
Renee knew Kaitlyn was completely milking this for all that it was worth, and she could do nothing but look on disapprovingly whilst the former Divas champion had the biggest insolent smirk on her face possible.
Seth noticed the two of them as soon as they came into view and straight away walked over to Kaitlyn after excusing himself. The other woman noticed him approaching, too, so she just told Kaitlyn that she'd be over by the dressing table.
"How come you're here so early?" Kaitlyn asked as the Shield member approached her, immediately giving her a quick kiss. "Could ask you the same thing. Sami's here with us so we thought we'd come early to catch the set up and such. And what if I wanted to surprise you? You know, when you turned up."
"Surprising me by getting here before I do? Yeah, that would be pretty astonishing..." Kaitlyn laughed, Seth was late for near enough everything, but was sometimes luckily just on time, so him being here ridiculously early was quite the achievement, she thought. "And management are okay with Sami being backstage?"
"Who cares? All they can do is kick us out of the arena, which would not be a good idea, now, would it?"
Kaitlyn shifted her weight to one foot and titled her head slightly. "It wouldn't? You're not wrestling tonight..."
"No, but Dean is and he'll need back up, you see. Plus, you're competing tonight."
"Yeah, what does that have to do with you guys getting kicked out?" She asked, and Seth chuckled.
"Because if I'm getting kicked out of this building, you're coming with me."
"Oh, I don't think so," Kaitlyn took a step back and raised her hands in front of her. "I've waited long enough to get my hands on AJ without being dragged off her. You boys can fight your own way back in."
"Don't you worry your pretty face now, it's not happening anyway. It'll take a lot to get us out of here."
"I have no doubt," Kaitlyn told him, then stepping around him to walk over to Renee who was currently stood talking to Big Show.
"Oh, and Kaitlyn?" The man asked.
"Hm?"
"This match tonight with Ziggler... don't let him try anything." Seth's expression was plain for a moment, unsure on how she would respond.
"Jealous that we're tagging?" His girlfriend smiled, doing that cute little head tilt of hers that brought out a smile from Seth.
"Not jealous, more so... protective."
"Well, you have nothing to worry about," Kaitlyn told him with a smile, she then finally walked away and approached Renee. "He's begging you to go over there and pounce on him."
Renee shot a quick glance his way, so quick that he would only have noticed if he was staring right at her - which he may have done for a short period of time when she'd walked in. Maybe. Looking back over to Kaitlyn, she scoffed, not at all shocked y the remark. "Begging? Really? How'd you get that idea?"
"Begging you... with his eyes."
Admittedly, they both knew that they were being so high schoolish and teenage-like with this, but at least they had the nerves and excitement to blame the giggling on. Well, that was their excuse, anyway.
"I don't think pouncing on him would be a very good or suitable greeting, do you?" Before Kaitlyn could say anything, the newest diva cut in again, "Wait, don't answer that."
Renee turned away from Kaitlyn for a moment to look at some of the things on the dressing table in front of her, and Kaitlyn took up the opportunity of inviting Sami over. She jerked her head in a beckoning way and moved from where she was stood just as he came over.
"She's all yours," the young diva told him in the quietest voice possible before quickly leaving them to go over to Seth, Dean and Roman.
"Renee," he greeted her in a cheery yet calm way, and she looked up wide-eyed. Before she said anything, she quickly looked over his shoulder to see Kaitlyn with The Shield. "It's great to see you again," she finally managed.
"Yeah, it is," he smiled. "Listen, I don't want this to sound too forward, but I'm gonna be here with those guys all of tonight, and I wanted to ask this before anyone else got the chance, so... would you wanna come to the after party, with me? I mean, we'll be with Shield and Kaitlyn anyway..."
The woman just couldn't help the smile that became plastered on her face at his slightly nervous tone. "Yeah, I'd really love to."
"Oh, great," he sighed with relief. "So, I'll meet you there, then?"
"Yeah, I guess you will."
"Awesome." Seizing the opportunity, he leaned down and brushed a kiss over her cheek, hoping she wouldn't push him back and stamp on his foot or something... And she didn't. The woman instead gave him the sweetest of smiles and even blushed a little. He nodded his head in a goodbye manner and turned to walk back, leaving Renee to stand feeling even more excited about her night.
