Story request from rivendell08021. Don't own the plot and summary! I don't have a photo cover yet, but I'm thinking of one.. Lita is a bit younger in this story.

I accidentally deleted the story, don't ask! Sorry!

Prologue

Seth watched the monitor while he inspected his ring gear. He fastened the swat vest securely so it didn't bother him when he was out in the ring. He didn't like how Dean was able to be the only one who didn't wear a vest, but his excuse was that since he was the one who was mainly in the ring, he needed more movement.

Roman agreed. He always agreed with Dean. Seth didn't, he complained that he did a lot more risk taking moves than him, and that he should be the one without a vest. But in reality, Dean just wanted to prove to the others he was the leader of the Shield by wearing different outfits as them.

The door of their locker room opened, and he tore his gaze away from the monitor. He smiled once he saw who it was; Lita.

He walked over to her. "How's my favorite redhead?" He messed with her hair.

She rolled her eyes, "I'm doing fine. I have a match next."

He smirked. "And?"

She smirked back, "I was wondering if you wanted to accompany me to the ring."

Seth was more than happy to do that. They made a little friendly competition over who could do more high flying moves, and they managed to bond over it. Now they were very close.

She pointed at his suit, "Ditch the vest." She commanded.

Seth sighed in relief. He was way past tired wearing that thing. He would ask Dean again, but it'll just turn into another friendly argument with Roman backing Dean up.

Seth didn't mind watching Lita from the side. He liked watching her how she moved in the ring. She would always surprise him with something new. And when she took a risk, he would sometimes geek out and cheer for her whenever she got onto the top of the turnbuckle.

After hitting the Moonsault to her opponent, she went for the pin and the referee counted to three. He rolled into the ring after the bell rang and the referee held her arm up in victory.

Seth pulled Lita in for a quick, victory hug.

After the two headed backstage, Seth smiled. "You did great out there."

Lita smirked. "I know."

He rolled his eyes and gave her a gentle shove. She was about to push back until she noticed two figures coming their way.

"We need to speak with you."

Seth became nervous and pulled the two men away. They started whispering. Lita was curious, but didn't want to interrupt.

Seth returned, a sour look on his face.

"Can you tell Dean and Roman to find another partner for tonight? Something's come up."

Lita nodded. "Uh.. sure."
