Unhappily Tied
Shawn Michaels sighed as he lay on the couch with his master and protector, not to mention boss. Vince laid Shawn's head on his lap and began to stroke his hair. They did this every night. This one was different.
"You're not happy here Shawn." Vince said, out of the blue. Shawn raised his head, his mind running through possible excuses and comebacks.
"What do you mean Sir?" Shawn asked tentitively. Best play it safe. His boss chuckled.
"Don't think you can fool me Shawn. I can see that you're not happy. I see the sadness in your eyes. What am I doing wrong?" Vince honestly wanted to make Shawn happy. He knew what the poor boy had gone through before, the abuse he'd taken.
"Its not you Vince." Shawn said, tears starting to fall.
"Then what is it?" it finally dawned on the man. "You're not happy being with me. You don't like it here."
Shawn nodded sadly. He shivered, scared that Vince would throw him out, leaving him to the mercy of his old master, Hunter.
"Shawn, I told you you could leave whenever you wanted. Why haven't you?" Vince asked, holding Shawn's shivering body close.
"Hunter." Shawn whispered. Vince nodded.
"You're scared he'll come after you."
"Yeah." Shawn croaked.
"Ok, ok calm down. Look, I understand Shawn. You think I'm going to throw you out?" Shawn nodded.
"Shawn, I would never do that. I wouldn't leave you at his mercy. I'll protect you until you find someone else who can. I can send you over to Smackdown if you want. Dave will look after you. What do you think?" Vince suggested. Shawn thought.
"Yeah, ok." he agreed, wiping the tears off his face.
"Good." Vince said. "I'll miss you."
Shawn glanced up at him.
"Its our last night but you're still my Master." Shawn offered, wanting the chance to thank Vince. Vince laughed and kissed the blond.
"Too true."
