Title: Only Good Things
Summary: Shawn and Hunter discuss Bret's return.
Notes: Set on the Last Raw in 2009 when Vince announced Bret's return to host Raw.
"So, what part of keep your nose out didn't you understand?"
"Er... all of it?"
"Funny guy." Hunter sat down on the bench opposite Shawn. "Seriously you just talked Vince into bringing Bret back. That's what you want?"
Shawn shrugged. "I don't care."
"Okay, help me out here. You've been stressed all day about the Bret/Vince thing, yet when Vince says he won't bring him back you get him to do it."
"I didn't make him do anything."
"Only good things can happen?"
Shawn shrugged again.
Hunter sat back and leant against the wall but kept watching Shawn.
After Hunter's constant scrutiny didn't end after a couple of minutes Shawn snapped, "What?"
"What do you think you're gonna get out of this?"
"Look Hunter, I know it doesn't matter to you, but going out there was the right thing to do."
"For you?"
"Maybe."
"Okay... you do whatever you've gotta do." Hunter got up.
"Hunter?"
"Yeah?"
"Everything will turn out okay, right?"
There was some uncertainty he could see in Shawn's eyes. Looking for reassurance that he knew he couldn't honestly give him. "I don't know." He saw flickers of doubt, knew Shawn was wondering if he made a mistake. "It doesn't matter." Hunter said laying a hand on Shawn's shoulder. "Either way, I'm on your side."
"Thanks man." Shawn said.
"Only good things remember." Hunter said, winking at Shawn.
Shawn watched Hunter leave. "Good things." Shawn muttered to himself, thoughtfully. And next week would be the starting point.
