Chapter 1

Cold, Heartless, Distant. These were just a few words people used to describe him, but none of the really knew him, nobody even tried. Maybe that's why he seemed so distant, just once he wished that somebody would try to get to know him, get past the mask and the stereotype, but he doubted it would ever happen.

This was what was running through his mind that night, the night everything would change. He was waiting for his match which wasn't for at least another 20 minutes. It would be just a normal match like every other one he had the past few weeks, the only difference this time was the opponant. Rob Van Dam. Kane had known him for awhile but only as a, well he didn't even actually know him or had they ever talked through out the time they worked with the wwe. Kane wasn't sure but there was something about rob that made him watch his matches, long to know him, talk to him, hell even be in the same room with him without being ignored, but he woldn't get his hopes up or let down his shield. Every time he did it just ended up in more pain more dissapoinment, and he couldn't handle any more.

Why am I even thinking about this? We are just having a match nothing more. Kane thought to himself as he pulled on his mask. The mask, his only sanity. The only thing that gave him confidance, he could hide all his emotions behind it, even if it wasn't such a good thing.

Finally it was time to make his way to gorilla position to wait for his cue and win another match. He was so caught up with his thoughts that he never heard the silent approach of another. He stood there not moving until he felt a hand on his arm. Not giving it a second thought he grab the hand with a vice grip and looked to see who the owner was. rob.

"woah, sorry man didn't mean to scare you." came the deep voice of the man standing in front of him. Ha scare me. Kane didn't answer just stared through the eye holes in his mask.

"um...well i just came to say good luck. Not that you need it or anything" rob said finally freeing his hand from the giant standing in front of him. Rob stood there a few more minutes waiting for some reply, some sign of...anything really, but when he got none he turned and made his way down the ramp to the ring."What are you doing rob?" Kane whispered starring after him. "whatever it is, don't stop...not yet" with that he took a step out into the flames that awaited.

When the match was over kane had won yet again, but he was quite surprised at the fight a man so small could put up, he could almost say they were equally matched, well at least in a few things. Kane made his way up the ramp and back to his locker room, he was almost there when he stopped short. The man running through his mind was leaning up against the wall right in front of his dressing room. What is he doing...in front of my locker room, maybe he got the wrong one. that was it he didn't mean to be in front of kane's dressing room there was no way he was waiting for him.

"Oh hey kane, didn't see you there. Well i just came by to say that was an excellent match, and to..um, see if maybe you want to go get a drink or something" Rvd said breaking through kanes thoughts, the last part came out in a rush. did he just ask me to go do something with him? SAY YES. "I don't think so, maybe some other time" WHAT!

"Oh, Okay thats cool, well i guess i'll talk to you later." Rob said before hurring down the hall way.

why did you say no?

He was just being nice, he didn't really want me to.

How do you know?

Because thats always what happens, everytime

maybe this time was different

no...it wasn't

Whatever you say buddy

Great, he was not just talking to himself again, but arguing. that was nothing new, he did it all the time, it was the only 'Person' sure to talk to him, no matter what. Kane looked around and realized he was still standing in the hallway and had been just standing there not moving for close to 10 minutes and people were starting to stare. He looked around one last time before going into his dressing room to grab his bag. Yep just a regular night, same as always...but it could have been different he could be with rob having a good time right now, but no, he was too stubborn to let anybody get close to him, though at the same time it was the only thing that he had ever wanted.

wow this is really short, but what can i say i just wanted to get this first chapter out, yes it isn't all that great but i promise as it goes along it will get better! please review i would appriciate it alot!
