So, I'm actually going to try posting something thats not a one-shot. I think it'll only be about 3 chapters but thats good for me! I know Drew isn't exactly the most popular character in FF but he's one of my favourites so I hope some of you like it too :-)

'Nice match out there. Looks like The Chosen One is back on track.'

Drew McIntyre looked around the Locker Room and grinned when his eyes found his best friend and former tag team partner.

'Ha, cheers Cody. Well I'm gonna take that pedigree as a compliment and call this a good day. Fancy a couple of drinks once you're done harassing Show?' Drew caught the look of uncertainty that flashed across Codys face and quickly added 'Hey don't worry mate, if you and the boyfriend are busy we can do it another time.'

Cody smiled up at the Scotsman. 'How the fuck do you do that? We must spend far too much time together.'

The taller man chuckled and ruffled the Intercontinental Champions hair playfully. 'Nah man, you're just easy to read Codes. I'm sure Randy can tell what you're thinking too huh?'

Cody shrugged. 'Not so much really. Anyway, fuck it, let's do those drinks. I – I need to ask your advice anyway.'

Drews eyes narrowed at his friends tone and he sat down next to him on the bench. 'Tell you what; how bout you tell me what's up now, then you'll have time for your man later too. You've got time right?'

The younger man smiled gratefully and hesitated before asking quietly 'You know when you and Johnny broke up?' Drew nodded confusion evident in his eyes. 'It's just – I – erm, shit this is harder than I thought.' Cody paused and took a deep breath as Drew took his hand and waited for him to continue.

'You, well you ended it right?' Drew nodded again but still didn't speak. 'I just – you always seemed so in love with him. What made you finish it?'

The Scot smiled sadly and replied 'I was in love with him Codes. I was so fucking in love with him that was never the problem. The problem was that he stopped loving me. And I couldn't handle that so I got out. It hurt to do it, but I knew I'd get hurt even more if I stayed.'

Cody squeezed Drews hand to reassure him. 'How did you know?' he asked.

Drew laughed harshly 'Oh that was easy. He just stopped telling me he loved me. Simple as that. When we first got together he used to say it all the time but then towards the end, even when I said it he wouldn't say it back – that's how I knew. Shit Cody, what's the matter mate?'

The smaller brunette had wrenched his hand away from Drews grip and was curled up on the bench, his knees pulled to his chest, sobbing loudly. 'I was really, really hoping you wouldn't say that.' said Cody between sobs.

Realisation dawned on Drew and he sighed, pulled Cody into his arms and held him until the sobbing subsided.
