Hey guy,
like you already read in the summary, this story is a Y2AJ one, taking place after that tag team match vs. The New Day, when Y2J took that kick from Kolfi to protect his partner AJ.
Even when Y2AJ didn't last for more than a week, I though pretty liked that chemistry between them and how they got each others back ...

So here we go ... and since that's my first Y2AJ story, please go easy on me ...

It had been a though night for Jericho. He already could feel the aftermath of that enormous kick from Kolfi, which had hit him right in the left eye earlier this night.
Sure, he prevented his tag team partner AJ Styles from being hit and they won, but it still hurt like hell, making him want to just fall in bed right after a quick shower.

"Hey, you're okay?" AJ stood right behind him, putting a hand on Jericho's shoulder. The older man had stopped in the doorway for a moment, when the dizziness hit him by surprise. He groaned, feeling how the touch on his sore shoulder was sending a wave of pain through his whole body.
"I'm fine." Jericho mumbled, shaking AJ's hand of off his aching shoulder.
"No you're not." AJ said watching his friend swaying into the hotel room, "You should have let the doctors check on your head Chris." Concern lay in his voice, when he followed the blonde into his room.
"I said I'm fine!" Jericho almost yelled and slammed the door shut behind him, regretting it immediately, when the volume chased a stabbing pain through his head. AJ, who almost had been hit by the door went silent, but didn't let his friend out of sight.
Jericho groaned, supporting himself against the wall for a moment until his blurred vision had disappeared.
"I just need some sleep." He mumbled, shaking his head to get rid of the fuzzy feeling in it, before he slowly made his way towards the bathroom, "Just … leave me alone."
AJ sighed, Chris could be so stubborn sometimes. The younger wrestler cared about him though and seeing his friend in so much pain made him feel guilty, especially because that kick should have hit him and not Jericho.
The blonde had reacted so quickly that he didn't even have time to defend himself.
AJ had seen the painful swelling going on in Jericho's face and the brown haired man decided to get his friend some ice late, to sooth Chris temper a little bit.
"Okay okay I'll be gone in a second … just let me get my jacket. I left it on your bed." AJ quickly voiced into Jericho's direction, watching the blonde disappear into the bathroom. He then grabbed his jacket from the bed, not wanting to make Jericho even grumpier as he already was.

Jericho groaned, leaning onto the sink. What a horrible night. The blonde's look fell on his left eye in the mirror, which was already turning blue. Wonderful, a black eye was the last thing he wanted to wake up with the next day. A quiet sigh escaped his lips, when he decided to just jump quickly under the shower, before ending the day with some good old painkillers.

The blonde closed his eyes after he finally had managed to climb into the tub and the hot water of the shower made his tense and sore muscles relax a bit. It felt so good and Jericho threw his head back letting the heat drip down from his hair over his whole body. He wished that the water would just take all the exhaustion and pain with it. But he knew this wasn't going to happen, so he just tried to face it, the next day would be even more horrible than this one.
He sighed, ready to soap himself, but the sudden dizziness, hitting him by surprise once again, forced the blonde to hold on to the wall next to him. With a groan Jericho shook his head, trying to get rid of the lightheadedness. Dark spots appeared on his already blurred vision, while the room wouldn't stop spinning in front of his eyes. His right hand had fisted the shower curtain for support, feeling how it was slowly giving way under his body weight, before everything went black.
