I have no idea where this came from, but it probably popped into my head after watching the JBL & Cole Show.

Warning(s) : Rated M. Slash. MxM. Cody/BNB. This is a chapter fic, and my first one so it won't be the best and updates may take awhile.

Deepest Desires. Chapter 1 : You're On My Mind...

Cody Rhodes had to ask himself a question; Why on earth was he here of all places? He should be at home with his wife, enjoying the late night together...but then why was he here - Standing in front of a hotel room door that belonged to the one person who couldn't stand him and vis-versa.

Maybe he should turn back, go home and forget that he ever thought about coming here. Yet Cody couldn't bring himself to turn on his heels and stomp back down the hallway to the lift.

Loosening his dark blue shirt by undoing the first three buttons, Cody slowly extended his fist to knock on the door. It probably would have been a better idea for him to wear looser clothes, because just thinking about what he was going to ask made his clothes tighten uncomfortably - why was he still wearing his grey suit? He could have just changed it after the short filming of JBL and Cole Show, but after a comment from a certain someone who happened to be on the other side of the door, Cody was reluctant to take it off.

"You look good in that, Rhodes..."

The voice Cody knew all too well echoed in his head, which was nothing knew, it had been happening a lot lately. Cody would find himself forgetting about his wife and thinking about the taller male with a deadly sneer. All of his thoughts would be on that person. He had hoped it was just a phase, that it was only happening because they had been spending so much time together, learning lines and even practicing together - even though they can't stand each other.

He knew it was wrong, but it was all he could think about; enchanting voice, beautiful green eyes, short (but curly) hair that Cody wanted to run his fingers through every time he saw him, creamy white skin and a gorgeous body. Long legs and a lean, but well toned, chest. A lovely round ass that Cody had wanted to smack on a few occasion. And a laugh that could make even the saddest person in the world smile after hearing it.

Oh, Cody wanted him. He wanted him so bad it was unbelievable. Knocking on the door, Cody waited patiently. This was it. He was about to face the toughest challenge in his life; getting Bad News Barrett to sleep with him...


Wade Barrett groaned loudly as he heard a knock on his hotel room door; why couldn't anybody leave him in peace? The Brit had literally just managed to drift to sleep. 'Bloody typical...' Wade thought bitterly as he tried to ignore whoever it was, but the knocking continued. Curling into the bed sheets, Wade shoved his head into his pillow. 'Go away, go away, go awa - '

"Wade, are you in there?"

The former bare knuckled fighter looked up at the door, glaring slightly. "Rhodes?" Rubbing his eyes, Wade slowly go up from his bed. There had to be a reason why Cody Rhodes was knocking on his door at this time...Wade glanced at the clock; 12:30am. 'He better have a bloody good reason for this...'

Walking over to the door in only a pair of black boxers, Wade opened it, his eyes squinting at the light from the hallway. Blinking a few times, Wade looked down and saw Cody's eyes roaming over his body. A long pause past as they both looked at each other until finally Wade spoke.

"What do you want, Rhodes?"

Cody snapped his head up to look at Wade's face, he smiled. "Oh, hey Wade...I-I was just wondering if we could talk?"

Wade's face was blank. Why would Cody want to talk now all of a sudden? They could barely stand each other. Or more like Cody couldn't stand him, Wade was this way with everyone, he hated getting close to someone or too friendly - it only lead to pain when they back stabbed you.

Folding his arms over his chest, Wade lent against the door frame. "I'm listening..."

The Brit watched as Cody's face changed to panic or fear, he suddenly became uncomfortable and started to glance at either side of himself. A moment passed and Wade finally gave in. "If you're uncomfortable talking out in the hallway, then come in already..." Sighing, he strode back into the small room and sat down on the bed, watching as Cody seemed to nod to himself before coming in and closing the door.

Turning on the lamp that was close to the bed, Wade motioned for the younger male to sit at the bottom of the bed. It took a while for Cody to finally do it, he was nervous for some reason and Wade was quite curious as to why.

"This better be important, Cody..."

"Oh, it - it is..." Cody took a deep breath, he looked as though he was having an argument with himself. Wade tilted his head to the side, it was kinda cute the way Cody was acting. "I'm just gonna come out and say it..." They watched each other, this time longer than before.

"Okay..." Wade muttered, leaning back against the bed rest. "Go ahead..."

"Wade; will you have sex with me?" ...

The silence was awkward and Cody had a hard time looking Wade in the eye.

"Wade?" Cody said after the silence became unbearable. "Say something..."

"...D-don't you have a wife?"

"Ah, so you're not saying no - "

"Cody!"

"What?!" Cody stood up as did Wade, the taller man looming over the younger.

"I am not allowing you to have sex with me so you can cheat on your wife!" Wade growled out, pushing Cody back.

"It's not cheating!" Cody snapped, pushing Wade back so hard that he fall to the floor.

"You want to have sex with me and you're married! That is called cheating!" Wade yelled, getting back up on his feet to glare at Cody who glared back.

"Look, I just need to have sex with you so I know it's just a phase! AND CAN WE PLEASE STOP YELLING SO THE NEIGHBOURS DON'T HEAR US?!" Cody shouted at the top of his lungs, shocking the Brit slightly.

"Wait, what 'phase;' what are you going on about?"

Cody sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Ok, I don't know why, but you've been on my mind 24/7 even though I'm married. I figured it was just a phase, but all of my thoughts are about you..."

"And you think having sex with me will make it go away?" Wade asked, calmer than he should be.

"Yes!" Cody sounded relieved that Wade finally got it. "So, can I have sex with you now?" Cody got closer to Wade. The Brit's nose scrunched up at the smell of aftershave, the young male had put a bit too much on. Clearly he was trying to impress, he was well dressed (and if Wade remembered correctly, he had actually complement the suit), stank of aftershave and he looked as though he was ready for anything. Wade couldn't be sure, but the bulge in Cody's grey jacket could be lube and a packet of condoms.

"No." Wade said in a low tone. "What made you think I was going to be that easy?"

Once again, Cody looked uncomfortable. "Errm, I thought you had sex with most of the guys in the locker room?" Before Cody could even blink, Wade had grabbed his jacket and pushed him up against the wall.

"I have never had sex with anyone, especially not from the WWE!" Realisation hit Wade like a ton of bricks at what he said, he had just admitted the only secret he had sworn never to tell anyone.

Cody's eyes widened at what he said.

The Brit stepped back, letting go of the youngest Rhodes.

"Get out..." Wade mumbled, his chest feeling heavy. He had never told anyone and he hadn't planned on telling anyone either, the reason was simple; it was embarrassing and Wade didn't want people to use it against him. He was a 33 year old virgin. The look Cody was giving him dididn't help either.

"But Wade - "

"Get out!" Wade yelled, for the first time in a long time he wasn't able to look someone in the eye. There was a flicker of a sneer and a glare, but it didn't remain as Wade could do nothing but look at the floor.

However, after a few seconds, Wade felt a hand grace his cheek and lift his head up. Suddenly, a pair of lips pressed against his own. Wade's eyes went wide, a pair of arms wrapping around his waist, pulling him closer - and Wade found himself kissing back - his eyes slowly closing as the kiss deepened.

The former bare knuckled fighter realised what he was doing and who he was doing it with and finally pushed the younger man away, wiping his lips with the back of his hand. "Don't make me tell you again, Rhodes..." Wade hissed, glaring at the other.

Cody sighed. "Fine," he walked towards the door, opening it up but looked over his shoulder at Wade who was still glaring at him. "I'm not just gonna go away, Barrett. I can't stop thinking about you...I'll take it slow, but I need, no, want you - and from that kiss - I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who wants it..." With that said, Cody left, shutting the door behind himself. Leaving behind a heavy breathing Wade who fall back on his bed, covering his eyes with his arms.

What did he want?
