OOOO

Jay really should have been jealous. He sat in the arm chair, watching as his boyfriend lovingly stroked Jeff Hardy's hair, whispering sweet words of comfort into his ear. But for some reason, he didn't feel threatened by the eccentric man's presence. In fact, he was almost thankful that he had shown up when he did. He knew that Adam missed his best friend terribly while he was on tour with TNA. And while he wished that his visit was under better conditions, it had kept Adam occupied for some time.

The reason that Jeff had come over had to do with his boyfriend, Bobby. The two had been together for almost seven years, but now Jeff was thinking about ending it because of a little fight. Well… it hadn't been little. It had started several weeks ago, when Bobby had cheated Jeff out of the World Heavyweight Title. And every week since, somehow managing to injure Jeff in the process. From getting hit in the head with the belt to being thrown into the steel stairs, he had experienced it all. And, to be honest, he was tired of it.

But it wasn't quite that simple. On Jeff's left hand, he sported the largest rock to ever shake the surface of Planet Earth. Bobby must've spent an arm and a leg on it. Before now, the only time that Jeff would've taken it off would be to wrestle. And he was reluctant to do even that. He was afraid to lose it in the ring, after all. But now, he took it off and put it on the table. His face was streaked with tears, his cheeks red and swollen. Jay felt bad for him. But Adam… it was like he was the one who had been hurt, instead of Jeff.

Then, there was a knock on the door. Adam nodded to Jay, who went to answer it. He wasn't surprised to find Bobby on the other side of the door, looking a little worse for wear. The brunette Canadian rocked back and forth on his heels, his eyes swollen and red rimmed. It was obvious that he had cried recently. He heard Jeff and Adam shift in the other room. So, Bobby was in a similar state of mind. The worry was plain in his eyes, but he wasn't about to voice it aloud.

"Is Jeff here?" Bobby asked, but before Jay could answer, he continued. "I… I know that he doesn't want to see me. I just wanted to make sure that he was OK. And to let him know that if he wants to talk, I'll be at the hotel room."

Jay nodded. "I'll be sure to let him know. But, Bobby… he's really hurt. He may not seem like it, but he's more delicate then he looks. And, well… the last man that hurt him… he had to deal with Adam."

Bobby's eyes widened. He didn't really want to deal with 'Crazy Eyes'. "They're package deal, huh?"

"It seems a little odd when you put it like that, but yeah. I guess they are."

"I'll be sure to fix this." Bobby said. "But… does he still have his ring on? Or did he take it off?"

Jay looked down. He really didn't want to have to do this. "He took it off. B-But he does that sometimes. It doesn't really mean anything. I've seen him take it off before, only to put it on a half hour later. He doesn't take it off often, though. You really shouldn't be worried."

Bobby looked to be on the verge of tears again, and Jay wished that he could have shut up. "That's good… I guess. Just, tell him that I'll be at the hotel, OK?"

"Yeah." Jay shut the door, trying not to think about the fact that Jeff would most certainly not be heading toward that hotel room tonight… or any time soon.

OOOO
