I really, truly like this pairing. I'm going to do what I've NEVER done before, and that is dive into the complete backstory of these characters. The prologue is going to be short, to set the story up, and get my creative juices flowing. Also, this will be the only chapter set in someone's POV. This story will also not directly follow storylines, as I may stray. I hope you guys enjoy it!

The Prologue

I really can't think of a better way to end 2011, then by defeating the WWE Champion in his hometown. 2011 was the year of Dolph Ziggler, and I really stepped my game up. I was the World Heavyweight Champion, I had a short reign, but at least my reign was longer then the Big Show's.

My confidence was at an all-time high, and the idea was tossed around for me to actually win the WWE Championship on the first Raw of the new year. With Cena being forced to take a backseat to guys like Miz and Punk, Vince deemed it the right time to move up the card. Everyone told me how proud they were of me, knowing I'd be getting my shot. It remains to be seen who comes back that day, which could directly impact me, but who cares?

I walked through the All-State Arena, trying desperately to get back to my locker room, and head out. I opened the door and plopped down on the metal bench, allowing it to somewhat cool my warm skin. I put my head back and shut my eyes, trying to get some relaxation.

"You looked good out there, Nick." A voice said. I couldn't help but smile. That voice belonged to one person.

"Me? You made Booker look good, you should be proud of yourself." I said, opening my eyes and they rested on the man who was speaking to me.

"Yeah, well… at least you won." Cody said, a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"Oh, come on, man! You're the Intercontinental Champion. You've got everything going for you, don't let a loss to a legend get you down." I replied, as I stood to my feet, and walked across the room, and sat down next to him. "Besides…you've got me!"

Cody smiled and relaxed a little bit, turning his head to me. Cody leaned in and captured my lips with his, and my stomach erupted in butterflies. I didn't hesitate to kiss him back, until Cody finally broke the kiss and looked at me with a smile.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Codes." I couldn't help but begin to think of how we got to this position. Our friendship in OVW, our call-up to the main roster, the brand split, and that fateful night in Cody's hotel room… who would've known that me, Nick Nemeth, would be completely, and utterly in love with a guy. The perfect mix of nerd, humor and sex appeal… Cody made me fall hard.

"What's wrong?" Cody asked, realizing that I had been in a daydream.

"Nothing. Just thinking about you." I replied, honestly. Cody replied with another kiss, and then stood up.

"Let's go back to our room." He said with a wink. I smiled, knowing I had a long night ahead of me.

Alright, it's short, like I said. But next chapter goes into their meeting at OVW, and the development of their friendship. You guys should review and tell me who you want to fall first… I'll write accordingly. The next update will be VERY soon!
