SECRET SIGNALS

1

Jeff Nero Hardy was sitting alone in his locker room after the match. He had to face his worst nightmare, Umaga in an extreme rules match. His muscles were aching and he needed to get a way to relax. His big brother Matt Moore Hardy wasn't in the area, he was most likely off with some girl getting drunk. Thats all Matt ever did and couldn't do anything else. Jeff ran his hands through his green colored hair as he tried to relax. Thoughts ran through his head as he kept those thoughts on his mind. A small sigh escaped his lips when he got up to take a shower. His body stood in the shower as he turned the water on, letting the warmth of it relax his body. As Jeff stood there under the water, the warm water ran over his bare skin, letting his muscles relax and the pain went away only for that small time. He slowly washed himself off, trying not to wince in pain. If only Jeff knew where his big brother was, he would always seem to help his baby brother with the pain. How Jeff would think of what his brother would do to him. How his big brothers soft touch would make him feel so much better. Those thoughts kept going through his mind. Nothing could come over that in his mind.

Then after Jeff got out of the shower, he slowly dried off and got dressed. His body was still in pain from the match and the warm water wasn't helping any. The only thing that could help was his big brothers touch. How the touch of Matt's fingers along Jeff's body felt so amazing. Then he had to snap himself back into reality because Matt wouldn't do that to Jeff, he'd say Jeff was sick and needed to go get some form of help.

Once Jeff was dressed and all of his items were all packed up in his bags, he headed out of his locker room putting his hoodie on. He was starting to feel alone and left out because when he would go to his big brother, he used to always be there for him, now he would just push Jeff away. How Jeff hated when Matt started pushing him away, he felt as if he was ending up to be the bad baby brother out of all of this. He made his way to his car out the back exit that all the superstars leave to go to their vehicles. Jeff got to his car and put his bags in the back seat, being too lazy to put it in the trunk. He slowly got in his car and stuck his key into the ignition A sigh came out of his lips as he sat there in his car, wishing his big brother was there with him. "Matt, what are you doing to me?" Jeff asked himself as he sat there in his car not going anywhere. "I miss you, I miss your touch." Jeff was still talking to himself, about how he missed his big brothers soft hugs and light touches when Jeff needed him the most.

Minutes passed as they felt like hours to Jeff as he was sitting there. He wanted to go see his big brother, but where could he find Matt. He didn't know where his big brother would be. He may be at a bar in one area then again he may be in another bar somewhere else. Jeff's big brother was one of those people that would be hard to locate. Jeff sighed as he sat there looking out the windshield He hoped his big brother would be standing out there, but he wasn't. Time was starting to pass by slowly, Jeff didn't want to just sit there anymore, he wanted to go find his big brother. "Matt, where are you?" Jeff whispered as he rested his hands on the steering wheel. Something inside him was telling him to go find his big brother, to go make sure he was okay and not hurting. He pulled out of the parking lot and made his way over to the hotel. Jeff wanted to see if Matt came to the hotel to check on his baby brother, just as Jeff liked it.

Jeff's vehicle made it to a red light a few blocks away from his hotel. He had to squint his eyes to try and see what was happening on the right corner. It looked like there was a big fight that was about to start. Jeff tilted his head to see if he could tell who the people were. The light then turned green as he started to hear voices that sounded familiar to him. The voices sounded like his friend Greg and Shannon. He couldn't tell if his big brother was with him or not. Jeff pulled over and acted like he was going to get out and go in one of the small shops along the other side of the street. Thats when he heard the voices better and saw that Greg and Shannon were both trying to stop Matt from the fights he's been getting into. Jeff slowly made his way over to them. "Matt? What the fuck is going on here?" Jeff asked as Greg and Shannon still tried holding him down.

"I'm not talking to you!" Matt yelled as he sounded like he was drunk off his ass.

"Matt!" Jeff yelled, hating seeing what he was doing to himself. His hand came across Matt's face, slapping it hard.

Matt stood there, holding his face where his brother slapped him. Greg and Shannon were still holding onto him. He tried fighting the both of them off. His face didn't look the same as it did before, when he did care about his brother, when he knew how to keep Jeff calm, now his face was different. Matt had a mean look on his face, it was like Matt was a whole new person, someone he wasn't and someone that everyone would go and hide from. Jeff looked at his big brother with a disgusted look upon his face. He hated what Matt was doing to himself.

"Matt, what the fuck are you doing to yourself?" Jeff asked as he still had that disgusted look upon his face. He wanted an answer and he wanted one now. He had to get it from Matt, but what if Matt wouldn't tell him?

Matt started to calm down after trying to wiggle free from Greg and Shannon's grip. His body stopped fighting to be let free, but they both still held onto Matt. Jeff stood there in front of his brother waiting for an answer. He looked up into his baby brothers eyes seeing the pain in his eyes and how he hated seeing his big brother the way he was. "Jeff, you wouldn't understand, no one would understand."

Jeff stood there tilting his head, the lights weren't so bright so Matt couldn't see his baby brothers confused look on his face. The hoodie was still on his head as he still stood there waiting for answers from his big brother. It felt as if minutes were turning into hours as he waited. He wasn't going to leave until he got answers from Matt.

A deep breath escaped Matt's parted lips as he was wondering how he could tell his baby brother what was wrong with him. Both Greg and Shannon knew what was wrong with Matt because they managed to get Matt to tell them what was bothering him. Greg ended up nudging Matt to force him to speak. Matt glared at both Greg and Shannon, knowing that Shannon would make him spill his guts soon. "Fine, you want to know whats bothering me Jeff? You really want to know? Well why don't you look into my eyes and find out whats wrong?"

Jeff stood there as he listened to his big brother, then he looked into Matt's eyes to try and find out what was bothering Matt. All he could see was pain, the same pain Jeff has been feeling. He started to think that it was just the alcohol that was in Matt's system. He didn't know what to say but to just be confused. "Matt, will you just tell me whats wrong with you? I want you to tell me, not show me."

A small growl came from Matt's lips, how he hated it when Jeff couldn't tell what was wrong with him just by looking at him. He just wanted to punch his baby brother right there in his face and make him see what was wrong with him, but since Greg and Shannon were still there, he couldn't just punch his baby brother. "Jeff, you've been blind to this for the past two years, can't you see that when I started pushing you away, I was trying to tell you something?" Matt started to speak as he teared up slightly. He was going to kill Greg and Shannon later for forcing Matt to tell Jeff this.

Jeff stood there in front of his big brother still trying to figure out if it was still the alcohol or if he was telling the truth about things. He did miss how his big brother would touch him and comfort him. Now he was confused more than he has ever been. "Matt, what are you trying to tell me? I can't figure it out."

Matt's chocolate eyes rolled as he sighed seeing how his baby brother couldn't even see what was really bothering him. He wanted to just yell out what was wrong with him, he wanted to scream it, but he knew that Jeff still wouldn't understand it. "Jeff, you are just impossible. You know that?"

Jeff then sighed again as he stood there in front of Matt. "Will you just fucking tell me whats wrong with you? I can't see it cause I don't know what I'm looking for Matt."

Just then, Matt's lips touched his baby brothers deeply, like Matt was sucking the life out of his baby brother. Then he pulled his lips away from his baby brother. "There, thats whats wrong with me bro. I love you, more than I'm supposed to. I can't control my feelings for you, they're stronger than they will ever be for you."

After the kiss and hearing that small talk from Matt, Jeff popped his head up off the steering wheel. He didn't leave the parking lot yet, he didn't go anywhere. He fell asleep right where he was. The images of Matt telling Jeff he loved him, has confused him a little. Were they trying to tell him something or were they messing with his mind? Was his feelings for his big brother true or were they games? There was only one way to find out. That was to find Matt and see what would happen from there. His heart started beating as he was starting to feel nervous. How would Matt react to something his big brother would tell him if what Jeff was thinking was true?

Just as Jeff pulled up in the parking lot, he slowly relaxed a little in case he would run into his big brother. Jeff didn't want Matt assuming things since Jeff was still figuring things out. He knew his big brother was one of those worry warts about things. He would want to know what is wrong with Jeff, even if he had to beat it out of him.

"Hey bro," Matt spoke as he walked up to Jeff's car.

Jeff could tell that Matt was different in some way. His voice sounded so different than it normally does. He cocked his brow and just looked at his big brother, not even getting out of his car. "Hey bro." Jeff still didn't move from his seat, trying to figure out something. He couldn't tell what was bothering his big brother, he couldn't tell what was on his mind, but Jeff knew something was bugging his big brother.

"Jeffro, come into the hotel room please."

Jeff cocked his brow at his big brother. He never asked him to get to the hotel room, never. So something had to be up. With his brow still cocked, he slowly got out of his car. Jeff tried to grab his bags out of the back seat, but that was when Matt stopped him. He grabbed his baby brothers wrist to stop him from opening the door. The touch of Matt's hand on his baby brothers is what Jeff wanted. Did Matt change or was he returning to the way Jeff liked him. He didn't fight his hand away from his big brother, but he still cocked his brow when Matt called him Jeffro, he never called him that. Was something wrong with his big brother?

Matt pealed his baby brother away from his car and up to their hotel room, Jeff still not having any idea what was going on. He still tried to think of what his big brother wanted. Why would he call him Jeffro when he has never called him that before? Why would Matt still be holding onto his hand as they were walking back to their hotel room.

At their hotel room, Matt opened the door to let himself and his baby brother inside. Matt shut the door behind him once they both were inside. Jeff still had no idea what his big brother was up to. He wasn't even sure if he should bother with asking what was wrong with him. Jeff stood there in front of his bed not moving. He kept his eyes fully on his big brother.

Matt came close to him and stayed by his side. His eyes searched Jeff like he was just looking at a new man. Jeff could feel his brother searching him and staring at him. A slight shiver ran down Jeff's body, not noticeable to his big brother Matt. "Jeffro, are you okay?" Matt asked with that odd tone in his voice like he had when Matt was at Jeff's car.

Jeff didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to say or what to do. He has never seen his big brother act this way and it was driving Jeff crazy to know what was bothering him. There was a moment of silence before Jeff even said anything. He wanted to see if Matt would do anything that would clue him into what was wrong with him. Matt kept standing there next to his baby brother not doing a thing just yet.

"Um, yeah, I'm okay bro."

Matt then started to run his finger down his baby brothers back. It made Jeff shiver to his touch. Matt smirked looking at his baby brother. He was still not telling Jeff why he wanted him in the hotel room. It was driving Jeff nuts until he was told why. "Matt, what are you doing?" Jeff asked as he tried getting away from Matt.

Thats when Matt just grabbed at his baby brothers shirt pinning him down to the bed. Jeff's heart started beating really fast and he couldn't help it because he had no idea what was wrong with Matt. "Hush Jeffro." Matt smirked tracing his finger over his clothed body. "Can you strip for me Jeffro?"

Now this really got Jeff into wondering if Matt got drunk or if it was his real feelings. Because to Jeff, Matt sounded like he was drunk and not his normal self. If only someone was with him. That way he could ask what the heck was going on with his big brother. "Um, okay Matt." Jeff sat up and slowly started stripping his clothes off slowly.

"Oh come on now Jeffro, you can strip faster. For me?" Matt asked with the cute pout on his face trying to help his baby brother strip faster.

On the other hand, Jeff still had no idea what his big brother was up to but yet he was still trying to find out. His body was shaking a little being nervous of what Matt would do to him. That's when Jeff looked into his big brothers eyes, seeing the joy coming into his eyes. How Matt's features on his face started to change into something Jeff has never seen before.

"That's it Jeffro."

Matt smirked seeing his baby brother standing there as his shirt was taken off, exposing his bare skin on his chest and back. Then Matt nearly started drooling when he saw Jeff stripping his pants and boxers off, letting them fall to his ankles. Jeff's heart was still racing as he wondered what his big brother was up to.

Thats when Matt came really close to his baby brother and ran his finger down Jeff's now bare chest looking into his emerald green eyes. He saw that his baby brother was confused and had no idea what was going on. Jeff felt like he just wanted to get away from his big brother and just hide, but something was keeping him there. Matt pulled his baby brother into the bathroom after he stripped out of what he was wearing. "Let me help your sore body Jeffro." Matt wrapped his arms around his baby brother kissing his neck. "You just need some nursing Jeffro."

Now Jeff knew something was wrong with Matt. Still there was something that was bothering Jeff with what Matt was doing to him. Even with what Matt was doing, it didn't scare Jeff away, or make him run into a closet and hide from him.

Matt took his baby brother and sat him in the tub. Jeff didn't get out or ask his big brother any questions. He was going to try to figure this out on his own. He kept an eye on Matt, like he was studying him. His big brother turned the water on to let the tub fill. Jeff winced as he felt the warm water against his sore muscles.

"Relax Jeffro, I'm going to take care of you," Matt whispered as he grabbed a washcloth and wet it, putting soap on it. He then took that washcloth and started washing his baby brothers body off. That part seemed same at the time. Matt took the washcloth down to Jeff's waist area and rubbed just above his shaft.

Jeff let out a small whimper as he felt his big brother leave him wanting more. The washcloth then ran over his baby brothers back. Matt traced his fingers over his brothers back to see what Jeff would do. Another small whimper escaped his lips. "See Jeffro, I'm taking care of you."

When Matt was done washing his baby brother, he scooped him out of the tub and stood him up so he could take a towel and dry Jeff off. Jeff stood up all wet and started shaking, thats when Matt started to dry his brother off. His hand lightly ran across his chest, down to just above his shaft. Was Matt messing with his baby brothers mind? Or was he falling in love with him?

After drying off his baby brother, Matt then scooped up his baby brother again and carried him to the bed. His chocolate brown eyes looked into his brothers emerald green eyes as he laid him down on the bed. Laying there naked, Jeff still felt cold, so he shivered a little as he looked at his big brother. "Matt, what's going..." Jeff was silenced by his brothers finger lightly touching his lips.

"Shhhh." Matt then looked at his baby brother, getting into bed with him and laid down next to him. His eyes looked right into Jeff's eyes. "I know you've wanted this Jeff." After saying that, Matt then leaned in and kissed Jeff on his lips.

Feeling Matt kiss his lips shocked Jeff a little. He didn't know what to say, let alone do. It felt good to have Matt kissing his lips softly. Jeff wanted to find out why Matt was kissing him, but that wasn't going to happen. Jeff felt his big brother run his hand down his side, moving his arm around his own waist.

That's when Matt pulled away from Jeff. "Don't be affraid, I know you want this, don't you bro?" Matt asked with a pout on his face.

Jeff knew that Matts pouts will always get to him. There was no way Jeff was going to hide this now. He knew where Matt was going with this whole "Taking care of" thing. Matt was in love with his brother. A smile came across his face as he scooted over towards Matt more, almost right into his warm arms.

That's when Matt knew that his baby brother has figured out what was going on. A smile grew on his face after feeling his baby brother cuddle close to him. "I love you Jeff," Matt whispered. He then ran his hand across his baby brothers face lightly, looking into his eyes. Slowly, Matt leaned in towards Jeff and kissed his lips again, this time he added a bit more passion to the kiss.
