The group of what some wrestlers dubbed the Brothers Of Destruction kiddies sat around the ring where most of their time was spent when allowed to. Matt was trying to reverse Amy's hurricanranas, but kept on failing as Jay, Adam, and Jeff laughed at the only dark haired one in their group. Jeff heard Jay say shit and he turned to see the mauling Triple and Austin had given Team Xtreme over a week ago, but they also saw Kane and Undertaker coming out to save the three young wrestlers.
"Those two are such assholes." Adam said about Austin and Triple H.
"Glenn was pissed with them for what they did to me twice." Amy joins in on the conversation.
"Mark wasn't too pleased either. He wanted to rip their heads off for what they did to his little hell spawn or whatever you are to him." Matt teased his little brother.
"I mean after all the cameras went off, Taker helped me stand while Glenn was helping Amy." Jeff reminds over the memory of Mark holding his arm while guiding him out of the ring. "Thank god they didn't decide to just carry us out."
"We loved kicking your butts again in the eight man tag match." Jay teases and gets the lunch bag with their snacks thrown at him by Amy.
Arriving to join in on hanging out was Randy who looked only at Jeff as he leaned forward on the apron by where the smaller sat against the ropes.
"Is this all you main roster guys do?" Randy asked to see Jeff smirk.
"No. We also train, but being on the road so much has us taking any free time we can get relaxing." Jeff explains to his friend. "Wish to have a match?"
"Sure." Randy agreed and climbed into the ring.
Jeff looked at Adam who would play ref and the three other wrestling siblings would pretend to be commentators. A hop came from Randy as he waited along with Jeff to get signaled by Adam to begin wrestling. From where they sat on the barricade watching, Amy, Matt, and Jay watched Randy try to immediately take Jeff down to be sidestepped and an arm drag then sent Orton down on the mat.
"Looks like the little rainbow haired baby has taken down the cowboy kid." Jay says to get a rude gesture from Jeff.
"Looks like Jeff loves you too Jay." Amy laughed as Randy finally got Jeff down on the mat.
Both fought for control with them being equally fast, but it looks like Randy's strength would be an advantage for the larger. He got Jeff's arms pinned to the mat with himself on top of the smaller who was trying to bump him off and Amy noticed something flash on Orton's face.
"I think Randy's trying to impress Jeff." she whispers to Jay who turns to her confused.
"Why? Jeff's his friend already."
"Think blondie." Amy hissed for Jay to glare at her.
"Hey Matt, why would Orton be trying to impress Jeff?" Jay asked the dark-haired wrestler.
"You lost me." Matt raised an eyebrow.
"You guys are so blind." Amy sighs while looking back at the match.
Jeff had flipped Orton over with himself now on top of the larger boy and Jay saw Randy look uncomfortable with how Jeff basically sat on a certain part. This was all it took for Jay to snap off the barricade and rush into the ring to tell Adam to end the match. A confused look was on Adam's face at being told that and he asked Jay what was wrong.
"Match ends in no winner." Adam says still confused on why Jay wanted it over.
"Good, because I'm close to working a sweat and wasn't prepared for that or would've brought my gear." Randy laughed as Jeff slipped off him.
"Here." Matt hands Randy a water bottle as he got in the ring to see what is going on with Jay.
Amy already knew and kept her seat on the barricade while smirking at how overprotective the guys could be with Jeff. She saw Adam and Matt trying to get Jay to squeal about what had him ending the match while Jeff stood close to them listening. When the lights went out, none of them knew what was going on and then they came back on to reveal something horrifying. All four guys had blood covering them and soaking into their clothes with the three older flipping out.
"Gangrel!"
"You miss me boys." the man steps out on the stage.
"Why would you do this?" Adam asked while wiping the blood from his eyes.
"To punish you four for the betrayal you committed."
"We left your crazy ass because this was one of the reasons." Matt tells the man with a piece of blood-soaked hair in his fingers.
"And that you are batshit crazy." Jay mumbles.
"Come home, my boys." Gangrel holds his hands out to the boys.
"Hell no." Jay spat and tried to ignore the wet feeling of the blood on his skin.
"We don't need you Gangrel." Matt adds as he sees Adam take a step forward.
"You see there is one thing we got here that was never had with you. That's family." Adam tells the vampiric man.
"Family?" Gangrel laughs at that idea. "You four have spent too much time with these people."
His eyes went to where Amy stood and Randy's eyes own eyes were only on Jeff who hasn't said anything from where he stood. Arms were around Jeff's body as blood dripped from his hair and Gangrel looked now on Jeff.
"Do not force my hand boys." Gangrel warned the four and Adam looked ready to snap with Matt looking the same.
"We do not want anything to do with you." Jay shouted as Matt caught him from running at the man.
"I showed you four how to be greats, but I guess children love to rebel against their elders." Gangrel sighed and then stepped the rest of the way down to the ring.
Jeff saw Adam rush at the man to be flipped on his back and Gangrel held the blonde haired young man by the neck. He struggled against the tight grip on his neck while pinned to the mat with Matt and Jay moving to help him. Both were stopped from getting close by Adam being tossed into them and the three fell through the ropes and onto the floor.
"Jeff, you were always the most loyal one. You just followed the three older boys in going against me." Gangrel steps close enough to touch Jeff's face. "I had such big plans for you little Jeffery and won't let those plans be destroyed."
"No." Jeff whispered taking a step back when Gangrel tried to touch his face.
"No? You dare to turn away from me, Jeffery. I know exactly what you are behind the mask you hold up and nothing will stop you from doing what you're destined to."
"Taker has taught me much more than you could have ever done. He taught all four of us so much. He protects and guides us." Jeff told the vampiric man who seemed amused at his outburst.
"Of course, he would. He just wants you loyal to him so his little weakness is protected."
"I'm not weak." Jeff whispered as green eyes were slipping to white.
"What are you going to do?" Gangrel asked at seeing the changing in eye color.
The shadows began to expand and lights flickered as if trying to decide on whether to bath the place in total darkness. Jeff didn't once move as Gangrel jumped back at lightning striking near his feet while wide eyes went on the boy. Before anything else could happen, it just stopped with Jeff falling to his knees with blood slipping from his nose.
"Weak, like I said." Gangrel spat in disgust. "You have no true strength in control of the power inside you."
When the man took Jeff's face in one of his hands, he only saw the white with hints of green showing the boy's struggle to do what he did before again. He tightened the grip on Jeff's face to force a cry from the boy and Randy was held back by Amy from getting in between the two. Adam and Matt charged into the ring to knock the man away from the youngest with glares filled with rage on him.
"Stay away from him." Matt ordered.
"You four can't do anything against me."
Suddenly flames burst from the ring post and Gangrel saw Undertaker and Kane appear from the darkness into the ring. Both looked ready to pound him and Gangrel snarled at them getting in his way before leaving to avoid any harm to himself. A laugh came from Kane and Undertaker at the four blood-soaked boys who shook their heads. Jay mumbled about needing a shower and was joined by Adam and Matt on the walk to do just that while Jeff avoided eye contact with Randy. He rushed to walk with his brothers and quickly showered in hopes of getting the blood off him. Once he was done showering, Jeff left the locker room without a word to the other three guys and walked down the hallway.
"Jeff." Randy called as he rushed over to the smaller.
"I'm sorry you had to witness that. Gangrel is just some crazy idiot who thinks me, Matt, Jay, and Adam were touched by the devil and will give him power. We left him because of his crazy ideas, but he just keeps coming back. Really he's harmless since all of us including Amy can beat him up."
"I really don't care about that. Are you okay?" Randy asked as he noticed a speck of blood on the side of Jeff's cheek and wiped it off.
"Thanks." Jeff said for wiping the blood off. "I guess you might want to not stick around since it looks like my crazy life might drag you in."
"Are you kidding me? I-"
"Randy, look at me. I'm not a normal guy who can go without people spreading rumors about over certain traits I have. Maybe it's best that you and I stop being-"
Jeff is cut off from what he was saying by Randy grabbing his face and beginning to kiss him. When Randy pulled back, he saw the shocked look on Jeff's face and realized he may have just made a huge mistake with what he just did. Unable to find words to say, Jeff quickly made his way down the hallway and Randy was left standing there all alone. He cursed at the mistake made by him kissing Jeff who didn't look at all happy about it. Picking up a water bottle, Randy threw it against the wall before he made his way towards the exit. The boy unlocked the car he borrowed from his dad to drive around and was about to get in when he heard his name be called. Behind him looking nervous was Jeff who seemed unable to look Randy in the eyes and trying to find the words he needed to say.
"Jeff, I'm so sorry about the kiss." Randy spoke first to see Jeff shake his head.
"I tried to date other boys when I was younger, but some secrets about me prevented the relationships from working out. Most guys I dated were real assholes who only wanted me because I look like a girl and believed it would easy to try getting me in bed. Instead when they couldn't do that, I was hurt and when I got signed to this company, I promised myself I'd give up the idea of happy ever after relationships and just focus on my wrestling career." Jeff explained while not once looking at Randy, but either behind the larger boy or at the ground.
"Jeff?" Randy had no idea what he could say.
"When I met you nine years ago, you were different and it made me feel unusual. I grew up knowing I'm different, but knew where my place was even at the age I was then. You made me unsure of that with the fact you just became my friend without a judgment of me at all. Even after Bearer showed up to take me back to Taker, you still acted like a friend to me." Jeff still wouldn't look at Randy. "Then you show up here and still want to be my friend when I didn't recognize you, still was nice to me. You witnessed the issues others have had with me looking the way I do and never stopped acting like a friend. The kiss though shocked me, because I don't want to risk this friendship where you make me feel normal and safe."
"Look Jeff. I guess it's love at first sight, but we didn't really know the thing about feelings for others at the age we were at that mania. I saw you again in that ring and thought how happy I was to see you doing what you dreamed of. Only I want to be there doing it with you and guess it means I understood there were feelings for you I had. You take away my rage with just a single touch and that's something no one has ever done."
"I have secrets, Randy."
"So you can tell me them when you are ready to. I just want to see what this could be for the two of us. Even if it doesn't work out with a relationship, we can stay friends."
"I don't know how to do a relationship like this. Most of the guys from years ago expected something after the first date."
"We'll take it all slow. I never will push you into doing something that you don't want to." Randy sets a hand to Jeff's cheek.
"Okay." Jeff nods finally looking him in the eyes.
Both of them began to kiss and Randy felt Jeff lean into him with so much trust in helping him in this relationship. When Randy tried to move back, Jeff followed and a smirk came to Orton's face as he put both hands on Jeff's face to continue the kiss. The sound of someone gagging has Randy and Jeff breaking apart to see Jay being smacked by Amy over him acting immature. Jeff felt Randy take his hand and for once Jeff wasn't going to try keeping someone out or hiding his true self with how Randy makes him feel.
