Disclaimer : I only own the plot. This story is written purely from an imagination for the entertainment of the readers only.

First of all, don't scold at me for thinking of this unthinkable pairing for this story. The idea just came up after Briley Pierce got released and my imagination started to run wild and if AJ looked good with Dolph, maybe it's not going to be that bad to try pairing her up with his brother, right? In this story, let's just assume wrestling in WWE was Briley's only vision and that AJ wasn't going to react at everything like she did on-screen. Also, most of the time, this story took place without following real events. I planned this story to be a short story, I don't know, depends on the readers' reception. Would be useless to write something if there's no reaction, right? Okay, I'm done talking. Give it a try and enjoy the first chapter if you will.

The phone rang again. It was for the second time that afternoon and although it was far from reaching tens of incoming calls, Ryan Nemeth still hated it. Especially when he knew who was calling him at that instant.

He stretched his body outwards from the sofa he sat on, grunting before turning his cap sideways and turning off his TV with the remote control. With another displeased sound coming out of his mouth, this time he stood up and walked to the telephone, far from being excited, picking it up.

"Yeah?", he spoke tonelessly.

"Hey there lil bro", the voice from the other line talked a bit loud, well, too loud for Ryan though. "You don't seem too happy to hear my voice", his brother Nick teased him.

Why should I? Son of a bitch!

"Hey there big bro! What's up?", he said in a high pitched voice, one of his hands waving in the air mockingly, as if he was forcing any contentment out of his system.

"Better!", Nick nodded before continuing, "Just to inform you, we're on our way to your place. Maybe about 10 minutes away!"

We're? Okay, I know you're my brother but bringing another person to my apartment? That's not on my expectation list.

"Oh, okay! Who's with you?", he asked out of a gritted teeth.

"My babycake AJ, of course! You know, your sister-in-law from the future?"

Why would you bring her along? Way to go, asshole!

"Yeah, um, okay! I'll be waiting here", Ryan stated with an eye roll.

"Sweet! See you later"

Ryan hung up the phone and slammed it a little too roughly and he chewed on his lower lip hard, restraining himself from muttering curse words out of his unfiltered mouth.

He should've known that his brother was going to take his stupid little girlfriend with him and he could just hope Nick and AJ wouldn't spend their night here.

Being the typical caring good old big brother, Nick had offered to visit him after he got released from his contract just yesterday. Ryan got no mood to say no to his persistent brother. Who in the hell would be in a good mood if they got fired from their cherished jobs?

Just days ago, the officials was praising him, saying it might be his time to shine on Raw or Smackdown but what did he get after that? A phone call of that monotone voice wishing him luck in his future endeavour. He only got one person to blame for it; Nick Nemeth his own brother.

Ryan knew deep down because of Nick's hardworks, bloods, sweats and tears that paid off as the elder finally escalated to main event status, even with a gold in his hand. But that was also the reason why the younger man got released. It had to be. He could never get out of his brother's shadow anyway. He tried and failed many times. Anywhere he went, there would always be a comparison brought up. Every interview he served as a guest, there would always be a 'Dolph Ziggler' topic came up. He tried hard to prove himself that he was just as good, if not, better than his brother. Maybe his on-screen gay sounded given name also played a role in that too. What kind of a rising superstar shall be named Briley Pierce? What, did the creative were thinking about a male name for Britney Spears?

He glared in disgust just to think of these things. He hated being Dolph Ziggler's baby brother. Things might turn differently if he was the one that was four years older than the other but it didn't. He hated Nick for it. It was always him that got the praises and achievements while he just stood at the sidewalk, watching his older brother soaking up the fame and fortune. And not to mention, he had a so called hot girlfriend by his side.

And the fact that he was coming to visit him today made him sick in the gut. He could already vision what was going to happen. Nick would hug him in comfort, asking him if he was okay and words of wisdom would filed in his ears afterwards. Why did he bother when they were not on the best brotherly terms all this time? Most of the time, their encounters would always end up in a fight, mostly verbally, physicality involved only twice as far as he could remember. He must be here to show off to him that he still had a job while he didn't.

Because of his brother, he lost his job. Well, not exactly, but it must be. What else could it be? His brother could speak out of his dissatisfaction of his talent showcasing time and got it while he did the same but got released for it? He had enough. Enough with the world revolving around his brother. For once in his life, Ryan wanted Nick to feel how depressing it was to lose even just a small thing in his glorious everyday life as a WWE Superstar. Why don't let him feel what he felt to have something matters to him the most had been taken away from him?

You contributed to the lost of my job; the only job I could ever think of having for my whole life. You stole my chance to shine before it even happened. Why don't I just do the same to you? What was it that you told me before? AJ was the one and she will be the mother of your children and your light for the rest of your life? Well, brother, it seemed like that would never happen. It doesn't matter if I hate her too, as long as I see that smiling face of yours turned to a depressed frown for once, that would be good for me.

I know, no Briley/Ryan and AJ's interaction in this chapter. After all, it's just an intro. We'll have to wait until the next chapter. Please review and tell me if I should continue it or not. Thanks!
