Chapter 3

The draft ….

Backstage, all the guys from the three brands were mingling and catching up with each other. Matt and Jeff were discussing about a possible split. Jeff sighed, "I know they are going to split us up again." "You know they see things from the business end. Anyways, it's not good when we're together on the same brand, we have to fight each other for any title-shots, and I don't like hitting my baby brother." Matt comforted him. Glen, who was standing behind Jeff added, "Who knows, Jeff, maybe I'll get drafted to Smackdown or you to Raw and we can be together!" Jeff broke into a smile on hearing that and Mark contemplating the possibility, "Hmm... the Brothers of Destruction back together again in tag team action..." "Yeah, we can have some fun with the current tag teams and show them how BOD get things done" Glen joked. All broke into laugher at that. They proceeded to the waiting area for the matches and draft picks......

The results surprised many; Matt got drafted to Raw, Jeff had come to terms with their split and was genuinely happy for his brother. After all, Raw is WWE's flagship. When Matt got back in after making his appearance, Jeff embraced him tightly, "Congrats Matt, I'm so happy for you." Anxiety ran high while they waited. The moment Jeff heard that Glen got drafted to Smackdown, he jumped into the air whooping with joy! He gave Glen a quick peck on the lips before he went out for his stage appearance. Once Glen got back, they embraced tightly. "See, now we have more time to spend with each other" Glen whispered in his ear. Jeff just nodded, laid his head on Glen's shoulder and sighed softly. Then the unforeseen happened, they couldn't believe their ears when they heard Jericho's name and then Chris was there. He had just been drafted to Smackdown too! Chris stood at the side, watching Jeff undecided whether to approach since Matt, Glen and Mark were with him.

Glen watched the changing emotions on Jeff's face. He pondered a moment before proposing, "Hey, why don't we guys go out and celebrate after the show? I'll see if the others want to join us too." "Sounds good, Glen" Matt clapped his hands on Jeff's shoulders and pulled him into a hug. He was awfully glad that Glen and Mark would be around to take care of Jeff. The guys arranged to go clubbing, but first, back to the hotel to change and then a night of celebration ahead.

They decided to share cabs, knowing their celebration would end with high revelry with most of them getting too drunk to drive. Shawn, Randy, Cena, Phil, Rey and Dave decided to join Mark, Glen and the Hardyz. At the club, everyone moved to take the couches and placed their orders. Once their drinks arrived, the guys toasted each other, joked and talked through the night. The drinks kept flowing and everyone, except for Phil, Mark and Rey, were getting quite drunk.

Cena and Jeff had burst into song, singing out of harmony and giggling like school boys. "Boys, stop that already! You're hurting my ears!" Mark protested, covering his ears. "I'll gag you if you carry on, you're giving me a pounding headache!" Randy groaned. Putting his arm on Jeff's shoulders, John declared, "You're just jealous dogg, look at the crowd here, they just love our singing!" Jeff giggled helplessly when John continued his foolery, with him joining in the chorus, giggles amidst. The others just watched them with amusement. When the song ended, Jeff got up, somewhat unsteadily on his feet. He placed a hand to stop Glen from getting up, "I'll be back soon, just need to go to the washroom."

Glen watched him go, admiring Jeff's tight ass until he moved out of sight. He heard chuckles and sniggering and turned to see the guys watching him watching Jeff, "What?" he growled, embarrassed at being caught watching. "You're one lucky son of a bitch Glen, what I wouldn't give to be in your shoes right now!" Randy shook his head . Shawn pouted, "I'm the most pretty, yet, ugly here got the cutest guy in the locker room, it's just not fair" he complained. "Who are you calling ugly?" Glen gave Shawn a death glare. Mark and the rest chortled with laughter, "They're just teasing, Glen but you did ask for it, you had your eyes glued to Hardy's ass!" More laughter followed. "You better watch Jeff, though. I think Jericho wants to get back with him" Cena warned. "Not if I can help it! That guy has done him a world of hurt. If he tries anything, I'll pulverise him!'' Glen's face twitched with anger. "If Jeff doesn't want him back, nothing he'll try will do any good" Shawn pointed out. Glen turned to Shawn angrily, "Are you saying Jeff will go back to him?" Shawn put up his hands to placate the big guy, "Hey, calm down, I didn't say that." Mark intervened before it got ugly, "Glen, go check on Jeff." Glen tried to calm himself down, he got up and walked away, realizing that he had allowed his emotions to get the better of him.

"What was that all about?" Cena asked, confused with Glen's reaction. Mark sighed, "I think Glen is feeling a trifle insecure." "Does he have a reason to be so?" Dave asked. "Well, lets just say that Jeff has not made any commitment to this relationship, and until he does, Glen is going to be a little bit antsy" Mark replied. "Do you think Jericho will try to get Jeff back from Glen?" Rey asked quietly. "Your guess is as good as mine, but seeing Jericho at the arena just then, he was waiting to catch Jeff alone. I don't know Jeff's mind on this, what do you think Matt?" Mark asked. Matt shook his head, "I've no idea what's on Jeff's mind. He left immediately after he found out about Chris' indiscretion. Chris never got a chance to talk to him and soon after, Jeff went over to Smackdown. As far as I know, they have never tried to get back together." "Why don't we just ask Jeff instead?" Randy asked. "Cos' Jeff himself doesn't know what he wants at this point, he wants to take it slow and not rush into a relationship and end up in a world of hurt again" Matt confided to his friends. "So, it looks like we will just have to wait and see if Chris tries anything" Cena said. Everyone agreed to watch Chris closely and inform Mark and Glen as soon as they found out anything.

After awhile, Glen came back with Jeff, one arm holding Jeff possessively around his waist. They sat back down again, Jeff leaning against Glen with his eyes closed. He was almost asleep, it had been a long night and he couldn't wait to get back to their room to sleep. Glen shifted and cleared his throat, "Sorry about earlier on, Shawn, I behaved badly" he apologised. Jeff blinked his eyes open, looked at both Shawn and Glen and asked, "What happened guys?" "It's nothing, Jeff, just a small misunderstanding" Glen was quick to respond. "Yeah, everything's cool" Shawn added. Smiling sweetly at his lover, Jeff leaned back down and rested his head on Glen's broad shoulders. Mark said, "Lets call it a night, guys, Jeff is falling asleep on his feet already and the rest of you had enough to drink." Everyone got up, Glen helping Jeff to his feet. They took cabs back to the hotel to retire for the night..

Glen helped Jeff to bed, stripping him down to his boxers and then got back to lie beside him. Hugging Jeff close, he kissed his head and studied the sleeping man in his arms, his mind wandering to the conversation earlier on. Sighing heavily, he closed his eyes and drifted off to an uneasy sleep.....

The next morning, upon waking, Jeff and Glen hugged each other, Jeff sighing blissfully into Glen's chest. Rubbing Jeff's back, Glen pulled back and pecked Jeff on his lips. "We need to talk, Jeff, there is something bugging me and I need to get if off my chest." Jeff pulled away, cocked his head to one side, "Okay, Glen, shoot!" Glen pursed his lips, choosing his words carefully, "It's just that I can't help but notice your mood swings whenever Chris is mentioned or is around. Is there something you need to tell me? What's going on?" On the mention of Chris' name, Jeff pulled away to sit up on his bed. Running a hand through his hair, he chewed on his bottom lips, his eyes downcast. It took him sometime before he raised his eyes to look at Glen. They were filled with hurt and pain, Glen could see them brimming with tears. "I won't lie to you Glen. I care too much about you to do that. You knew about Chris and I, we had a good thing going till....." he gulped, tears leaked from his eyes and he fought to compose himself. Glen moved forward and sat down beside him, putting one arm around him, "Hey, if you're not ready to talk..." Jeff put his fingers on Glen's mouth to stop him, he smiled through the mist of tears, "I'm.... I'll be fine Glen, just let me continue." Taking a few deep breadths to calm himself, Jeff continued, "Chris and I were together for almost one and a half years. Being on the same brand, we travelled and roomed together. We were just friends .......

Flashback...

After a signing and press session, both guys were resting in their room...

"I need a shower before heading to the arena" Jeff said, removing his clothes and grabbing a towel from his bag, headed towards the bathroom. "Right, I need one too, so make it fast Jeff, I don't want to wait an hour for you out here" Chris teased. "Fuck you Chris" Jeff laughed and closed the bathroom door. Chris shook his head and turned on the television to pass time. There was nothing good, he turned it off and laid on the bed. Closing his eyes for a nap, he could hear the shower running...his thoughts suddenly on Jeff., he was imagining Jeff in the showers, wet and naked.... rousing himself from his reverie, he cursed himself when he saw he was hard. Chris sat up, considering just a moment before he stood up, opened the bathroom door and slipped in quietly. He could see Jeff's silhouette behind the tinted glass door, undressing quickly, he slid the door open. Jeff turned around in surprise. "I thought we could save time by showering together" Chris said as he entered the stall. Jeff blushed, mumbling, "Huh...okay" he moved to give space but Chris pulled him close, covering his mouth to silent the gasp of protest. He kissed Jeff deeply, stroking his tongue deep into his sweet mouth, exploring the insides, their tongues touching, sucking, he ravished his mouth. Both broke off gasping for air with Chris still holding onto Jeff with his hands on his waist. When Jeff made no attempt to pull away, Chris slid his hands down to cup Jeff's ass . He bent his head to kiss and nip his neck. Jeff moaned softly, arching his body to press against Chris, "Ohhh.. Chris..." Chris continued to lick, kiss and nip, he worked his way down, licking and sucking his nipples into hardened nubs. Running his hands lightly up and down his hips, he caressed the hip bones and moved one hand to grasp the semi-erect cock. He stroked the shaft roughly, rubbing his thumb across the slit, Jeff arched his body against his hand, whimpering softly, "Oh...oh...." Chris continued to work his cock. Moving Jeff's hand from his neck to his cock, he encouraged Jeff to rub him, "Yes.. Jeff.. harder.." he rasped out, thrusting his dick into Jeff's hands, feeling it lengthening and hardening. "Oh...so good Jeffrey.." their groans echoed loudly in the enclosed room. Releasing Jeff's cock, he slid his hand to Jeff''s opening and caress it with his fingers. Jeff was lost in desire. His eyes were closed tight and he was moaning deliciously with the feelings sweeping through his body. Using the water as lubricant, Chris pushed in two fingers into the opening, Jeff whined, arching his back and panted softly, "Chris...hurts.." "I will make it hurt so good, baby.." he pushed in deeper, moving the fingers around to stretch Jeff. He wanted Jeff to enjoy their first time together. "Hmm.. hmm... Chris...ohh..." Jeff mewled. His body felt so alive, the nerves tingling with the sensations building up to a climax. "Chris...please...Chris!" he suddenly yelped when Chris hit his prostrate right on. He continued working him "Ohhh......fuck... me.." Pulling his fingers out, Chris lifted Jeff's legs to lock around his waist. Taking his cock, he placed the head at the entrance and pushed in to the hilt with one smooth stroke. "Chrisss...." Jeff hissed in pain. The ring of muscles clenched tightly onto his cock, Chris groaned lowly, "Oh God... baby...so tight...God...." he grunted. Chris pulled out slowly and pushed in deeper. Both men groaned. Chris quickened the pace, pounding into Jeff. He moved one hand to stroke Jeff's hard leaking cock, the other holding him up to keep him in position as he pounded in deep and hard. Jeff tossed his head back and groaned, his body quivering with the need for release. "Chris...I'm ..gonna ..cum.." he gasped in short breadths. Chris pounded faster, harder and deeper. He pumped Jeff's cock roughly, he was almost there, "Chrissss....." shrieking, Jeff climaxed, his cum spurted onto Chris' stomach. His body shuddered with the force of his release. His internal muscles clenched tight on Chris' cock and with a sharp intake of breadth, Chris came hard. He yelled, pushing in deep and stayed there until he was milked dry. When both their bodies had calmed, he pulled out and released Jeff. Jeff could feel the cum flowing and dribbling down the insides of this thighs. Chris laid his forehead against Jeff's, "That was good, baby, was it good for you too?" Shyly, Jeff nodded.

Back to the present …....

"From that day onwards, our relationship changed from best friends to lovers. I fell in love with him and I thought he was also in love with me....I was never more wrong.." he said quietly. "I had arranged to meet Matt at Raleigh and Chris said he needed to meet with his band to go through some of the materials for their next concert, so I left him behind. I had driven out but for a half hour when Matt called to cancel. I turned back, hoping to surprise Chris...." Jeff spoke softly, recalling, his eyes brimming with tears. "When I opened the door to our room, I....I...saw him on top of Kelly. They didn't hear me and were going at it until Kelly opened her eyes and saw me....." Jeff shut his eyes tight, he couldn't hold back the tears as they slowly trailed down his cheeks. He sobbed brokenly, "I felt so stupid...all that time, he was just playing with me!" His anguished sobs grew louder, " He..he ..broke my heart, ...I loved him and he broke my heart!" and with those words, Jeff threw his arms around Glen and cried his heart out.

Glen held Jeff tight, rocking him gently, waiting for his tears to subside. Jeff hiccuped and sniffled, he turned his tear-stained face towards Glen, "I left him, I just took time off and left. It hurt so bad that I asked Vince to get me drafted to Smackdown. I didn't want to see him but now that we're on the same brand again, I think he's trying to talk to me and get back together." He buried his face in Glen's chest and sniffled.

Glen's mind was in a turmoil, he had promised to wait for Jeff until he was sure about their relationship but Chris on board the same brand now would pose a real problem. Does Jeff still love Chris? Is Chris trying to get back with Jeff? Glen frowned, This is not the right time to ask Jeff if he still have feelings for Chris, Glen decided. He was determined to keep Chris as far away from Jeff as possible. Tilting Jeff's face up to meet him, Glen kissed him gently and made him a promise, "I'm not going to let him hurt you again, Jeff, you can count on me!"

--------------------

Does Jeff still have feelings for Chris?

What about Chris? What are his intentions?

And Glen? He's Jeff's support pillar right now, but what about his feelings? Will Jeff go back to Chris and hurt Glen in the end?
