A/N- Inspired by AJ's interview.
Timeline: First Punklee interaction on Raw.
May 21, 2012
Everyone knew that making it to the WWE was hard. Staying in it was even harder. But that was just part of the business. And she loved it. It was her passion. Her life.
Thankfully for the small brunette she had two people she could always rely on.
"Hey kid." a deep voice greeted.
AJ looked up smiling at the man who had become like a big brother to her "John." she greeted wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.
"You ready for this?" John asked ruffling her hair a bit.
"Yes." she could hardly contain her excitement "I'm pumped."
John laughed at the small girl "Your always pumped."
AJ shrugged cutely before pulling on her converse "True. But this is my time to make it big." she smiled.
"Then make sure to give it all you got." a new voice joined their conversation.
"Punk." she exclaimed jumping into his arms with a grin.
He looked down at her a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth "AJ." he said dropping a kiss on her lips.
"Keep it PG." John said with a laugh "She's like my little sister."
"Fuck off Cena." Punk joked placing the small brunette back onto the floor "Keep your hands off me Aril. I know it's hard but you have to try." he tried keeping on a straight face.
AJ teasingly scowled at him "As if Phillip. I rather think it's the other way around."
John laughed at the antics of the girl he called a sister and the man he though of as a best friend. "Okay kids. Behave." he teased "Good luck out there AJ. Be crazy." he dropped a brotherly kiss on her forehead.
"Luck is for losers." she quoted her boyfriend trying to imitate his voice.
John laughed as he walked out leaving the two of them behind.
"You ready?" Punk said offering her his hand. "Commercial break is almost over."
AJ nodded taking his hand and pulling him towards the door "Yes. Yes. Yes."
Punk rolled his eyes "Stop being annoying."
Sticking out her tongue at him over her shoulder she dragged him to the hallway they were to film their third ever on-screen encounter.
"She's good." the brunette commented placing her hand on his broad shoulder.
John took his eyes off the TV as the brunette sat on his lap "Yeah she is." placing a kiss on her cheek before going back to staring at the TV as the on-screen brunette started crying.
The couple laughed as Punk awkwardly tried to comfort her, laughing even more when AJ suddenly stopped crying.
As the segment came to an end Eve stood up "I have to go. I hate being mean on screen." she pouted.
John stood up wrapping his arms around her waist "I know you do." he responded pulling her closer before dropping a soft kiss on her lips.
Pulling him closer she closed her eyes savoring the kiss before he pulled way, albeit a bit reluctantly. "Go kick ass Torres." he said lightly pushing her out of his locker room, following close behind.
Eve nodded with a bit of a frown on her pretty face. "Will do." she gave him a small solute that made him smile before walking off.
Hand in hand they made their way to his locker room. Although Punk wasn't much of a PDA kind of guy he always seemed to make exceptions for the tiny brunette that was holding his hand.
"I always knew you were a bit crazy AJ." a voice teased from behind them.
The couple turned to look at the blonde standing behind him.
AJ gave the man she been working with for the past few months a smile "That is not nice Daniel." she teased.
Daniel shook his head with a smile "Yeah, yeah." looking at Punk he said "You dig crazy chicks huh?"
Punk chuckled "Apparently." he pushed AJ playfully "I'm with this one aren't I?"
AJ glared at him pushing him back much to the amusment of Daniel. Shaking his head he began walking backwards "I'll see you later."
Watching their friend walk away they once again began making their way towards his locker room.
"I need to take a shower." Punk said grabbing his duffle bag "Putting the anaconda vice on someone takes it out of you."
AJ rolled her eyes but nodded "I'll just sit here. Being bored."
Punk laughed at her dramatics "You do that."
Watching her boyfriend enter the bathroom she took her phone out. Longing onto her twitter she replied to a few interesting tweets before making one of her own.
I kinda dig guys who dig crazy chicks
With a smirk she placed her phone down and watched the show as Punk took a shower.
"AJ." a voice called out from the other side of the door.
AJ jumped at the voice of her best friend drifted into the room. "Come in."
Jumping off the couch she launched herself into her best friend's arms "Kait!"
Laughing the blonde set down her friend "Hey AJ." she dragged out the J before sitting down on the couch. "Where's yo man?" she joked.
AJ nodded towards the closed door "In there. Where's your man?"
Kaitlyn blushed "I have no man."
AJ raised an eyebrow "He likes you too Kait." she promised.
Kaitlyn shrugged "Whatever. Let's talk about you ."
It was AJ's turn to shrug "What about me?"
"Are you happy with being on screen with Punk." she asked although she already knew the answer.
"Yes." she responded "I know we aren't really an on-screen couple. But now that I'm basically on Raw I get to spend more time with him."
Kaitlyn nodded as her eyes drifted towards the screen where the Diva's were having their match "I want to wrestle." she commented "I don't even know why I show up to Raw or SmackDown. It's not like I'm ever on the show."
Patting her knee she said "Your time will come Kait. And you will kick ass."
The opening and closing of the door interrupted their moment.
"Kaitlyn." he greeted sitting down next to the brunette his eyes on the screen as the diva's match came to an end "Why are they not using you two in the ring. I don't understand. You guys are probably the best the Divas WWE had right now. Along with Beth, Natalya, Eve and Layla."
"Pipebomb." AJ whispered to her best friend before patting her boyfriend's shoulder.
"You should include that in your next pipebomb Punk." Kaitlyn commented as the door to the locker room door swung open.
"Yes Ryder do come in and make yourself comfortable." Punk said sarcastically as Zach walked in sitting down next to Kaitlyn.
Zach laughed at his friend's dry humor "I will Punk. Have you seen the people out there as lumber jacks. Big Johnny wouldn't let me go out there."
Now that he mentioned it the three of them noticed that the lumber jacks were indeed people that Sheamus nor John were on friendly terms with.
Punk frowned looking on as two of the guys he called friends wee being thrown around the ring and sometimes out of it as well. Sometimes gaining the upper hand but most of the time being dominated.
As the match when on another brunette had joined the girls.
AJ patted Eve's hand with her own as the brunette winced at the particularly bump John had just taken. "He's fine Eve." she told her friend.
Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Kaitlyn flinch as well as her eyes followed the red head on screen.
In silent agreement Zach and Punk stood up rushing out of the room leaving the girls behind who's eyes were still glued on the TV.
Stepping into the bus she grinned at the dark skinned man "Road husband." she exclaimed pulling him into a hug.
Punk rolled his eyes but patted his friend's back "He was my road wife first."
AJ simply stuck out her tongue at him "Whatever. He likes me more."
"She does make some mean pancakes" Kofi said with a shrug as Punk playfully muttered "Traitor."
Kofi laughed shaking off AJ's arms as the brunette happily skipped to the last room on the bus.
Once she was out of sight he turned to his friend "You really like her huh?" he asked.
Punk nodded "I do."
Kofi smiled "Good. She's good for you man. You've been less of a jerk lately." he laughed at the expression on his face. "It's true. I can see she makes you happy."
"Are we done with the chick flick moment or do you want to braid my hair too?"
Kofi rolled his eyes "Whatever man. Just take care of her, okay?"
Punk nodded "You don't have to tell me that."
Both men stood next to each other smiling as they heard off key singing coming from the shower.
Punk looked through his phone smiling at some of the tweets before coming to one of hers.
Hey gurl, He replied with a smirk.
The shower shut off and moments later AJ was standing by the side of the bed in cute Pikachu pajamas.
"Let's sleep Punk." she pulled back the covers making herself comfortable against the soft sheets.
Slowly he made his way to her wrapping her up in his arms waiting for her breaths evened out.
Slowly his eyes drifted close as well.
A/N- Literally had to write this down. It was bugging me to be written. It was going to be a one shot but it kinda wrote it's self. This is a more backstage look of the last few months with a few different things -Punklee, Eve and John, Sheamus and Kaitlyn- and the storyline will also be slightly different. And Daniel is nice in this one. Big Johnny however is going to be exactly how he is on TV. So what did you guys think about it. Should I continue?
Also head over to my profile and check out Say You Like Me if you haven't already. And remember to leave a review xD
Okay that's it. Review Please :D
