Months Later: St. Louis
It had been months since Randy was down in Tampa with John at his house. They had seen each other in between but hadn't been able to spend that many days in a row together. WWE was back in the Midwest and John was set to arrive at Cody and Randy's later that night. Randy was at one of the gyms talking with a sweet middle-aged woman who reminded him of his own mother about what type of diet was best for her. She was currently trying to convince him to let her try out his plan, for free, for a month just to see if it worked and if she truly wanted to hire him. He would never do it but it was the end of his day so he entertained this ridiculous conversation
"Ma'am,"
"Oh please call me Cheryl."
"Cheryl, you and I both know that your plan isn't going to work." She laughed
"But you're just so expensive."
"Because I know what I'm doing. You're paying for my expertise."
"Is there a cheaper expert around here?" The tall man looked all around the gym then shook his head
"Just me and I ain't cheap by any definition."
"Well I don't imagine so as cute as you are." He smiled
"Flattery will only get you so far and a free trial is where it stops."
"Damn. How much is a month again and what do I get with the month?"
"How many days do you want to see me for the first month?"
"Um, three should be good. Let me get used to it all."
"So that's twelve days out of the month making your total come out to $408."
"Jesus Christmas."
"But that includes a menu tailored to fit your life, access to this gym and its equipment and an exercise plan you can work with. I'll never make you do more than I think you can but I'm not going to be soft on you either."
"And why would I ever think you would?"
"I hope you wouldn't."
"Alright, Randy, you've convinced me. Type up my contract and let's do this before I change my mind." Randy smiled
"I already have it." He told Cheryl giving her a charming smile
Later
Randy was in the kitchen making garlic butter when he looked over toward the living room and saw Cody kissing the cat. He frowned and scrunched nose
"That's so gross."
"What?"
"You and sourdough bread bowl over there."
"His name's Jelly Toast!"
"I know what his dumb name is."
"Don't listen to him Jelly Toast. You should make more of an effort to be nice to him. He likes you."
"How do you know? Did he tell you?"
"No. He sniffs under your door when it's closed."
"Well everything about that was weird." Cody laughed
"I realized once I'd said it." Randy giggled to himself as he made little slits in the whole chicken he had on the counter. After doing so the man used his hands to cover the entire chicken in the homemade parmesan garlic butter
"I wonder who that is." Cody said facetiously when the doorbell rang
"That better be my man."
"I'll get it. I'm sure he'll be so excited to see you elbow deep in butter." The tall man looked at his hands and quickly turned to the sink. John and Cody came around the corner and Randy's face lit up when his eyes landed on his boyfriend's
"Hey there." John said to him
"Hi." The younger man spoke trying to dry his hands fast
"Forget it." John smirked grabbing the drying towel and tossing it aside. While the men kissed and hugged, Cody wheeled John's bag back to his friend's room. "I missed you so much." The older man spoke with their foreheads pressed together
"I missed you too, babe."
"Come on the road with me for a while."
"How long is a while?"
"As long as you'll let me hold you hostage."
"I can't for at least a month. Got a new client today."
"Damn you." They chortled
"I won't contract myself out to another client from today until the month is over so I can be with you."
"I feel so bad hearing you say that but at the same time, selfishly, it's the best thing I've heard in a while."
"Being selfish every once in a while is perfectly fine." Randy said kissing his man again
"Now I'm not feeling as bad."
"You're a great human being Felix so it's okay. I have to put the chicken in the oven…I have a lot to do actually."
"Don't let me interrupt."
"You've never been here but make yourself at home. Beer's in the fridge and there's wine in the wine cooler if you want that. You can veg out on the couch with Cody and cinnamon toast crunch."
"Randy I'm going to kill you."
"Then who will make your dinner?"
"Shit."
"That's what I thought you little troll."
"Oh! You're calling me a little troll?" Randy laughed and John did too knowing what Cody was referencing
"It's a beautiful watch and I felt the best way to show my appreciation to John was to showcase it on Instagram. Sue me."
"Those hashtags were proof of how appreciative you were."
"What do you mean?"
"You had about sixteen of them!"
"I did not."
"You did, babe. I was cringing because I thought the price would be a hashtag too."
"I don't know how much it was."
"You could have googled it. You know that it's a Sapphire Synergy by Movado."
"I wouldn't google the price of anything you gift me because the price doesn't matter to me."
"You're a doll."
"Get out of my kitchen Felix." John picked up his beer and joined Cody and Jelly Toast in the living room
"From what I've seen this house is really nice." John commented this being his first time visiting
"Are you bullshittin right now?" Cody asked
"No." The older man said hesitantly. "Why?"
"You live in that mansion," He chuckled
"That doesn't mean I don't think other houses are nice."
"Oh…thank you. Randy and I decorated it like the platonic gay couple we are."
"I hope so."
"I don't want your man, John. He doesn't even respect my cat."
"Probably because you say things like that." From the kitchen they heard Randy laugh loudly
"Felix?"
"Yea?"
"Do you want mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower?"
"You're making both?"
"Yes. Cody doesn't like mashed cauliflower."
"It's not that I don't like it, I just rather have potatoes like a normal human being."
"Can I have both?"
"It's just like you to be difficult."
"But can I have both?"
"You can have both."
"Thank you."
….
After dinner Cody stayed in the kitchen to clean up like he usually does while John and Randy retreated to the living room and got cozy on the couch
"You are so terrible." John remarked after his boyfriend had taken a picture of them cuddled up and kissing. He watched the corners of the other man's mouth rise a fraction
"If people I don't know are going to be mean and say nasty things about me then I might as well give them a reason."
"Or you could not."
"Or." The older man chuckled. "Tell me not to post it if you don't want me to post it."
"I don't mind at all. You're egging them on but they are acting ignorantly toward you for no reason…well not a good reason anyhow."

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."— Pablo Neruda #HaventSeenHimInTooLong #ItsBeen84Years #MyBabe #LoveThisFeeling
"And how much hate do you expect to get from that?" The taller man shrugged
"I don't know and don't care. I turned the notifications off."
"Very good."
Later
Cody grabbed a pillow and blanket off his bed and stomped out to the living room. He had spent the last 30 minutes tossing from one side of his bed to the other, changing positions and even covering his head with pillows to block out the sounds coming from Randy's room. He understood that his friend hadn't gotten laid in a while and needed it but Cody wished the man would keep it down
"Probably won't need to get up for yoga with the way I'm sure John's twisting him up." He muttered closing his eyes
In Randy's bedroom the tall man was bent over his king sized bed while John rode him from behind. The older man took the other's slender hips in his large hands and held him still as he thrust hard. The cries and moans coming from Randy only served to make John hammer him harder
"Oh god!" The younger man exclaimed as he came. John pulled out and jerked his cock while the other man turned toward him and took his throbbing cock into his mouth and sucked until he came too
"You done?" John questioned breathing heavily and pushing the man back on his bed
"No."
"Good. I'm not either." Although he had barely gotten any sleep the night before at 5:30 the next morning Randy was up and ready to start his yoga
"What the hell?" John grumbled waking up and seeing the man in the crane pose
"I'll be grumpy all day if I don't do it."
"You are fucking relentless." He said snapping a picture
"Thank you."
Before he lay back down John posted the picture on his Instagram

A Month Later
Codes: how's it on the road? Do you remember me?
Randy: lol. I've been gone for three days
Codes: oh that's it? Sure feels longer
Randy: cut it out. Are you alright? Seriously
Codes: yep. Where are you now?
Randy: the bus. We're going to Canada
Codes: Canada? Yesterday?
Randy: we were in Detroit
Codes: okay now it makes sense
Randy: RAW's going to be here
Codes: you goin
Randy: hell yes. I mailed the WM and HOF tickets back to the house so be on the lookout for those
Codes: what!? I'm so in love with your love and this relationship
Randy: you're in love with the perks you freeloader
Codes: free – what!? Not me. I do like you guys together
Randy: Mmhm
Codes: lol. I'll let you get back to your man
Randy: oh thanks
"How's Cody doing?" John asked as Randy moved by him
"Fine. Asked if I remembered him because it's been so long." He chortled
"Sounds like him. What are you doing?"
"Getting a video."
"For more torment?"
"No. Because this is my life and I said that I wasn't changing my life because of some overly-obsessed "fan" on social media…but sometimes yes." The older man laughed
"Uh-huh." The tall man got his video of scenery passing by then posted it
#TheWheelsOnTheBus #RoadLife
Before getting the chance to close the app Randy saw the little blue dot pop up next to the house labeled Timelines. He tapped it
ItsyBitsy so does RandyOrton work or not. Looks like he's on the road playing wife to cena this week
RandyOrton RT " ItsyBitsy so does RandyOrton work or not. Looks like he's on the road playing wife to cena this week" not playing as I take my role as wife seriously #RoadMissus #Perks #PutARingOnIt
He put the phone down and turned to John
"What?"
"Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?"
"Your yoga lesson." John whined. "Come on." Randy had gotten John into yoga in an attempt to keep him limber and protect his body against what he did professionally. They rolled their mats out and started off with basic poses. "Lift your hips higher babe."
"That's my line." The tall man guffawed and stood up. He moved behind the other and raised his hips to the proper position for the standing half forward bend. "Ow!"
"Felix stop playing around. I know that doesn't hurt. You get thrown around at your job…and you kick out at two harder than this pose."
"I'm going to fuck you up."
"Fuck me, sure but fucking me up I can't agree with."
"Ran,"
"Stop talking and hold this. Steady your breathing." After a few seconds the older man's breaths were even and he felt a calmness over him. "Very good. Let's do head to knee then half lotus and you're done."
"That's it!?"
"Oh don't act like you – shut up." He said taking a seat
RandyOrton perfect way to entertain yourself on a bus to Canada? Watching the babe do yoga. Steady as a fawn on ice
CodyRhodes RT " RandyOrton perfect way to entertain yourself on a bus to Canada? Watching the babe do yoga. Steady as a fawn on ice" bwaahahahah. Pics or it didn't happen
RandyOrton I'm not doing that to him CodyRhodes
CodyRhodes you're so loyal. Can't believe you talked him into it RandyOrton
RandyOrton it'll be good for him in the long run. I want to keep him healthy CodyRhodes
CodyRhodes RT " RandyOrton it'll be good for him in the long run. I want to keep him healthy CodyRhodes" I'm not crying. You're crying
Randy chuckled and tossed the phone to the side
"You done?"
"I think so." John said letting out a deep breath. "I should be rewarded for that."
"You will be with tranquility and a deeper you."
"Fuck that."
"You want something else?" The younger man asked smirking and John nodded then watched his boyfriend get on his knees
Two Weeks Later
Randy had been on the road with John for two weeks and had travelled to states and cities he never thought he'd see in a million years. Not because they were so amazing but because he never desired or thought about visiting any of them. Right now they were at a Gold's Gym in Westborough, Massachusetts where John was doing a photo shoot for Men's Health magazine. Randy sat in the Director's chair he'd been given and watched as his man was oiled to perfection. Why hadn't anyone asked him to do that? Probably because the shoot wouldn't have taken place…or things would have started very, very late. He snapped pictures of the man deadlifting some astronomical amount of weight he was sure
RandyOrton okay, how hot is this? instagram p/zumeRUjUP/ #TheBabe #AllMine #SneakPeak #ImSweatin
Randy went back to watching John in action until his phone vibrated
Codes: so I'm not tryna be all on ya man or nothin but
Randy: bitch there is no but. Hands all the way off
Codes: you know I'm kidding. He looks good though. In the john cena way
Randy: boy
Codes: ha-ha. Where are you now?
Randy: Westborough, MA
Codes: oh Johnny's home state
Randy: yea. We're an hour away from his mom's. We're going there after this for dinner
Codes: oh cool. You haven't seen his mom in a while
Randy: lol. John hasn't either
Codes: there's that. Anyway, I'll let you get back to ogling your boy like a little peeping Tom
Randy: with no shame
They were in the middle of changing something on set and John was out of sight so Randy had nothing to drool over. He went scrolling through IG and read the normal comments about how he was only with John for the money, attention and the perks. Off to Twitter
WWEFanNumeroUno how dumb are you RandyOrton? People have been giving you crap and I gave you the benefit of doubt but now it's obvious you're a fame whore
Randy gasped. What the hell…
RandyOrton RT " WWEFanNumeroUnohow dumb are you RandyOrton? People have been giving you crap and I gave you the benefit of doubt but now it's obvious you're a fame whore" what are you even talking about?
WWEFanNumeroUno RandyOrton posting pictures of john cena's secret photo shoot before their published. That's just stupid and could be bad for him
RandyOrton RT " WWEFanNumeroUno RandyOrton posting pictures of john cena's secret photo shoot before their published. That's just stupid and could be bad for him" there are 80 people here. This is not a secret (your grammar sucks, btw)
WWEFanNumeroUno but the fans didn't knw RandyOrton u DUMBASS. Wwe usually promotes this stuff and you ruined it because you want everyone to know you're with cena. Attention whore
RandyOrton Well holy shit WWEFanNumeroUno. I am so sorry I ruined this for you. I'm sorry I ruined it for the company and all the fans and mostly I'm sorry for being an attention whore. I wasn't hugged enough as a child. And stupid me. I never thought to ask if taking pictures while I was here would be okay…only I did so mind your business. Also, check your facts, I wasn't the one who was the first to re-tweet or anything with him in it. No one is seeking attention except you. I'm living my life. Actually have one more apology to make and it's to you: I'm sorry that my life happens to be better than yours. Sometimes it's like that
Randy finished the TwitLonger message and posted it. He was getting real sick of this shit
….
"What's the matter?" John asked wiping oil off his body. "You look upset."
"I'm not upset. You all done?"
"Yes but we're not going anywhere until you tell me the truth."
"I am telling you the truth. I'm annoyed but not upset. Let's go." John took the younger man by the hand and thanked everyone on set again before leaving
"I have to shower and get all this goo off."
"Goo?"
"Yea that was bad word choice."
"I'll say. You looked good during your shoot, babe."
"Thank you." John yelled from the shower. "What part did I look best in?" Randy shook his head and laughed
"All of it to be honest. You're cute as hell and downright sexy when you want to be. Like today."
"I like what I'm hearing. Keep going."
"I'm not playing this game with you. Hurry up and finish so we can make-out."
"For an hour? Because that's how long the trip to my mom's house is."
"Sounds good to me." In the shower John shook his head
