Hi guys! For the longestttttttt, I've wanted to try my hand at a Steph/HHH story, but I didn't think I would be too good at it. But what the hay, gotta try somewhere. They are a really influential couple, and two people I always thought complimented eachother since I was a child, they are too cute. I got the idea of actually putting my spin on how Steph and HHH came to be, so I hope you guys like. Thank you, and enjoy!

"What's your name?"

The beautiful brunette turned sharply, the voice catching her off guard. Going out near the dock after wrestling events was only something she knew of, and for someone to have discovered her whereabouts was baffling. She studied the tall shadow, wondering who it could be, for she couldn't make out the voice of the stranger approaching her. She knew it was a male voice, and that made her even more terrified. She moved backwards swiftly as she noticed the figure approaching her, before she began to scream for help. The shadow gasped softly, grabbing her wrist to calm her as he gave her a soft smile. Stephanie's eyes softened, as her breathing calmed a bit, recognizing the stranger in the dark.

"Paul..? Its Steph.. Stephanie. I guess we never formally met.."

Stephanie stood up quickly, dusting off her satin skirt from all the debris from the ground. She was so embarrassed by her screaming, where she couldn't even try to make eye contact with Paul, who's known by everyone else as Hunter. But she always heard her father call him Paul, so Paul it is. Paul smiled softly, blushing a bit from their hands connecting. "Sorry I scared you. I noticed you leaving, and I thought it'd be a perfect time to finally introduce myself. I'm-"

"Paul Levesque. I know who you are, of course." Stephanie chuckled a bit, wondering why a man so large would be so timid around her. It was odd, for when she saw Paul with his friends, he seemed to be quite the jokester. Now alone with her under the soft reflection of the moon, he seemed almost vulnerable, like a small boy. "Nice meeting you, Paul. I'm so surprised you never knew who I was. I guess it makes sense though that you would know Shane first, though." Paul nodded thoughtfully, trying to muster up more to say. But all he could hear in his mind was:

"Here you go, you big dope. You've followed her for weeks now, and you can't even remember your fucking name! Its Paul! Paul! Tell her about the upcoming storyline, that'll work. Maybe then you can grow some balls and actually talk to the chick."

Paul nodded again from his thoughts, as Stephanie studied him in bewilderment. She cocked her head a bit, before speaking softly into the night. "Are you okay, Paul? You look a little strange.." He nodded softly, before uttering the silliest thing known to man.

"You're going to be my wife. For the show. The show.. WWF. Not actual, marriage, thing..But-nevermind"
