A/N: So, this is dealing with two love triangles here. Seth/OC/Finn and Jeff/OC/Corey. I let Danie(CelticPrincessx3) pick out an OC because she's always helping me out and listening to my ideas. The muses have been hitting me for awhile now and I have been in the mood to write a Seth/OC/Finn triangle and Jeff/OC/Corey was Danie's idea. Please read, review, favorite, and follow when you get a chance. Thanks!

DRAWN TO YOUR FLAME
Chapter I: You and Me and All Other People
It was the night of Wrestlemania 33 and tensions were high in the air. Of course, this was the time where all the superstars put on the show of a lifetime. One person who wouldn't was, Selina Mendes. The Latina felt upset knowing that she would never be able to compete ever at a Wrestlemania.
She spent two years in NXT from 2013-2015 before she sustained her second neck injury, which caused her to go into retirement. She injured her neck the first time when she was in NJPW back in 2010. She and her opponent had poor communication so she landed on her neck wrong while taking a piledriver spot. She never held a grudge with her opponent, it was mostly her fault for not communicating with her opponent. She was only 20 years old and was not the easiest person to get along with. After that neck injury, she found herself becoming more humble.
The second time came when she was facing Alexa Bliss in a match at Takeover:Brooklyn, in which most people called the best match that Alexa had since she'd been in NXT. Her and Alexa had great chemistry in the ring. Selina and Alexa were getting ready to do a big spot they had been working on for two weeks, but when Selina was up in the air getting ready to do a Frankensteiner, she bent her neck back too far as she fell to the mat after Alexa shoved her down and immediately felt a pop. When she got checked out backstage, she found out she broke her neck again. Hunter, worrying about her well being decided it would be best if she retired.
While she was in rehab, Hunter called her and asked if she would like a job in the WWE doing makeup backstage, since he remembered how much passion Selina has about makeup. Of course, she said yes she would work doing makeup whenever her neck was all healed up. She wasn't going to turn down that offer.
Speaking of The Game, he was in an unsanctioned match tonight against the man she was currently sitting with his locker room, The Architect, Seth Rollins, after she got done doing the makeup for the RAW women. Her and Seth had a friendship that dated back to 2015 when he injured his knee the first time. While she was in the middle of rehabbing her neck, he came in to do rehab on his knee. He'd remember being the in the front row at the Takeover event the night before Summerslam 2015. He'd told her that her match was absolutely incredible and he found it amazing how she could work well with anyone in the women's division. She was humbled that he said that to her considering he was one of her favorite wrestlers on the main roster.
They struck up a friendship over their bond of wrestling and how determined they were to get over the injuries. Sometime during the early part of 2016, Seth broke up with his girlfriend that he brought with him to the Takeover:Brooklyn event, which made Selina ecstatic. The woman that used to be known as 'The Latina Vixen' had the biggest crush on the Architect. Who wouldn't have a crush on him? She would always ask herself. When Seth told her about the breakup whenever they were rehabbing together one day, he said he was done dating for the time being.
But, sometime during all the rehabbing and hanging out, they both felt a mutual physical attraction, so they compromised on the Friends With Benefits. It was nice how they could remain best friends and just hang out like normal. Plus, she got to see Seth naked more often than not. So, of course, she wasn't complaining at all.
Snapping out of her thoughts, she took notice of Seth who was warming up in his locker room. "So, how excited are you about tonight?"
Seth stopped his warm up to look at Selina. "I'm excited as hell," He chuckled, then let out a sigh. "But, I'm also nervous as hell."
"Why? I mean it's Hunter. He's going to make sure that everything will go smoothly," Selina reassured. She rested her tiny hand on Seth's shoulder, providing him with the reassurance.
"I know, Sel, but, it's Wrestlemania," he stated matter of factly. "What if the crowd isn't into the match?"
Selina sighed. How could Seth not know how much the crowd loved him? The crowd were into his angle with The Game. There was nothing for him to be worried about at all. "Dude, there is nothing for you worry about. I think once you go out there, all that worry will be replaced with adrenaline."
The Architect smiled at his best friend. "Dude, you're right. Thanks for that."
"That's what I'm here for." Selina reciprocated his smile. "Now, while you finish warming up, I am going to and see Bella. Her man is returning tonight and she wants me to be in the gorilla with her during his return."
"My match is after their's," Seth stated. "So, you'll still be there before my match."
"Yep," Selina replied. "Now, I need to go. I'll see in you the gorilla soon." With that said, Selina walked out the Architect's locker room, to see her female best friend, Arabella Rose. She knew Bella was in ecstatic mode over her boyfriend who would be returning in the next match.
Arabella Rose was waiting in the gorilla area with her boyfriend of two years, Jeff Hardy, and his brother Matt Hardy, who were returning tonight at Wrestlemania. Jeff and Bella met through mutual friend, Chris Jericho, who was adament that the two would make an awesome couple. Both of them were into art, dogs, and enjoyed nature, so that automatically made them bond. Jericho was good friends with Bella since Bella designed the wardrobe he was wearing on this current run.
One night, Bella and Jericho were hanging out, while she was designing his wrestling trunks, talking about interests they inquired, when Bella mentioned she loved art and nature. That turned on a lightbulb in Chris's head. He had a friend who was recently divorced who knew needed to get back out on the dating scene. That was Jeff Hardy. Chris texted Jeff and told him about Bella and how she had similar interests she did, also mentioning that he needed to meet Bella.
The Charismatic Enigma was hesitant at first, since he was still dealing with the fallout of his divorce, but the King of the World told him to at least give Bella a shot. The worse that could happen was that he didn't like her. What was there not to like? Bella seemed cool, acquiring the same love for art, dogs, and nature as he did. He would at least give it a shot.
She met him down in Orlando one night in 2015 after an Impact taping. She lived in Orlando, Florida, so it was simple for them to meet in that area. Jeff and Bella met at the nearest Applebee's, since the restaurant closed at midnight. He got a burger and fries while she got the oriental salad. They ate and bonded over their love of the mutual interests they shared. Chris was right, Bella was a cool person. Jeff knew he was willing to see her again. After they finished eating, they exchanged phone numbers and ended their night with a hug.
After months of casual dates and texting back and forth, Jeff finally got over his nerves and asked Bella out officially, much to the excitement of the younger woman. Sure, Bella was 26 and he was 37 during that time, but he knew age was nothing but a number. With her maturity level, one wouldn't know she was eleven years his senior.
A year later, after talking with Matt and Jericho, he asked Bella to move in. He figured it would be awhile before he would marry again, so to show his girlfriend how much he meant to her, that was when the decision was made for her to move in with him. With her there, it felt more like home than ever before.
Here they were a year later, together in the WWE. He wasn't honestly sure he would ever be back here. But, after negotiating with the company and talking about the situation with his brother and his girlfriend, he knew it would be in the best interest for him to return. He would be returning to the company his girlfriend was employed under, so that was something for him to look forward to. And, he would be alongside his brother still; always a plus.
"Bella, I think you're more excited than I am about my return," The Charismatic Enigma mused. "And, I'm pretty damn excited."
Bella chuckled. She planted a chaste kiss to her boyfriend's cheek. "Of course, I'm excited. How could you not be excited about finally working under the same company as your significant other? I'm excited that we have more time to spend with each other."
Jeff mused over his girlfriend's excitement. "Trust me, I'm happy too." He tapped her nose with his finger, causing a giggle from her that he come to love so much.
"Guys, could you save your PDA for somewhere else?" Matt Hardy questioned. "Nobody has time for that." The Broken one was feigning disgust, but in reality, the older Hardy was happy to see that his younger brother finally found happiness with someone else after his messy divorce.
Jeff wrapped his arm around Bella's shoulders. "Don't be jealous cause your wife isn't here to pump you up before your match." Jeff chuckled when he saw the look on his brother's face, who was giving an unamused look to his girlfriend, who had a big smile on her face, clearly amused by what he'd just said.
The women of the RAW women's fatal four way match came through the curtain. Bella high fived Bayley, Sasha, Nia, and Charlotte as they all walked by her. She respect all of those women so much for what they brought to the women's division. If Bella must say so herself, she did really good with Charlotte's attire for Wrestlemania. She thought Charlotte rocked the Peacock look.
Now, it was time for Jeff's and Matt's return. The other tag teams made their way out. The New Day came out to introduce the return of the Hardyz. Arabella, Jeff, and Matt all chuckled when the New Day and the audience were going, "Who? Who? Who?" Like some owls.
Next thing they knew, the crowd had popped loudly whenever The Hardy brother's music hit. Bella gave Jeff a quick kiss and Matt a fist bump before they made their way out there. Bella was watching from the monitor and she was amazed at how louder the audience got whenever Matt and Jeff appeared on the stage. So mesmerized by the scene in front of her, she didn't see Selina appear beside her at the gorilla.
"Such an incredible scene, huh?" Selina asked in awe, causing Bella to jump. Selina chuckled, giving her best friend a side hug. "Holy shit, Bella, I didn't mean to scare you like that. I'm sorry."
"It's alright, Sel," Bella responded. "I was too enraptured in the scene. But, yes, such an incredible scene. I can't believe how beloved Jeff and Matt are. It's insane."
"I'm not surprised at all. I mean these dudes are legendary. I'm super jealous that you're dating Jeff. He was always my favorite Hardy." Bella bumped Selina in the shoulder, acting like she was mad about Selina saying that she was jealous, but of course she was joking with her best friend. "What?" The Latina asked, innocently. "I mean, it's true. Jeff is my favorite Hardy."
"Oh my goodness." The blacked haired woman facepalmed. "You're such a hot mess, S," Bella stated, causing Selina to chuckle at her best friend. "Since Jeff is back, does that mean he replaces Seth as your favorite wrestler on the main roster?"
Selina nodded her head yes. "I guess so." She nonchalantly shook her shoulders.
"What would Seth say about that if I told him?" Bella knew that Selina harbored a crush on the Architect, and it was growing ever since Seth and Selina started messing around with no strings. Selina swore up and down that Seth didn't return her feelings, but Bella knew that Seth returned the feelings that Selina had. "I mean, he will be disappointed to know that he isn't your favorite wrestler."
Selina waved off the issue, "He'll be fine. It's not he'll like care that much or anything."
Bella rolled her eyes. "Honestly, S, he would care a lot more than you think. You guys are inseparable. I know you might not see it, but he reciprocates the feelings that you do."
"Whatever, B." She rolled her eyes. "Seth and I will always only be friends. I mean the sex with him is great and I like that I can still hang out with him afterwards, but I would like more."
Speaking of the devil, here came Seth Rollins walking towards the gorilla. His match was next. He took a seat in a chair that was set up of where Selina and Bella where standing. "Thanks for the pep talk earlier Sel, it really helped me out." There came that damn smile that she swooned over.
Bella took note of this and smiled to herself. "Good luck on your match, Seth." Bella said, causing Seth to smile gratefully at her. "You and Hunter will tear down the house."
"Thanks, Bella," Seth responded. "I'm happy for you that Jeff has returned to WWE. I'm sure it's going to be great that you two are working together."
"Thanks," Bella replied. "I'm happy to be spending more time with Jeff."
As if on cue to hearing his name, Jeff came through the curtain along with his brother, the RAW tag team championships in their possession. "And new...!" The younger Hardy exclaimed, wrapping his arms around Bella, who reciprocated the hug. He placed a chaste kiss to her lips. "C'mon, babe, it's time to celebrate. We need to head to the locker room and change before we head out."
Fixing to head away with Matt and Bella following, Jeff saw Seth Rollins sitting in the chair. "Rollins, good luck on your match tonight."
Seth nodded his head, grateful for what the younger Hardy said to him. "Thanks, man, congrats on your return and winning the RAW tag team champs." Seth stuck out his hand for both Matt and Jeff to shake, which they did. After that, the Hardys walked off with Jeff's girlfriend following.
"Good luck on your match, Seth." She stuck out her hand so her and Seth could do their handshake. Their hands connected at the bottom while their other hands connected at the top, then they slowly bring down their top hands down to their bottom hands and follow it up with a fist bump with some explosion sound effects coming from them. "I'll be watching while I get the ladies of Smackdown ready for their match."
Seth sighed as he watched Selina walk away. Something seemed different than earlier about her. He knew he had a big match with Hunter right now, but after that, he was going to see what was up with her.
