Shaded From The Darkness

Disclaimer- I don't own to do with the WWE

Summary- It's been three years since Mike left, someone has finally found him, but what all has happened? Will he return to the one he loves? Does Cena still love him? And what has happened to Alex? Slash..Sequel to Riddles of the Darkness.

Warnings-

I SUGGEST YOU READ riddles of the darkness FIRST, IT WILL MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE.

I know right I finally started this. Because I finished the Riddles of the Darkness so long ago, I kinda got lost with what I wanted the sequel to be. So this is all new ideas.

Thank you for the lovely reviews that I recived for the first couple of chapters. And thank you to everyone that alerted and favourtied this.

Shawn walked along the sidewalk, his destination was just up head, he had spoken to Hunter earlier and now it was time to confront Mike, Shawn wasn't going to let him run away again no matter what it took.

Shawn opened the door to the diner, he held the door and stepped to the side letting the elderly couple exit before entering himself, his eyes scanned the small nearly empty diner before walking over to one of the tables. A few minutes later a middle aged women came over to his table and took his order, before she left to get his meal Shawn grabbed her wrist.

"Is Mike working today?" The lady bit her lip her eyes narrowed at Shawn's question, her motherly looking eyes studied him for a second before nodding.

"He's in the back doing inventory at the moment, then he has a break after that he will be taking the floor." Shawn nodded and released her wrist.

"Thank you." She regarded him for a second before giving a sharp nod and walked off.

A short time later she returned with Shawn's meal, she placed the food filled plate on the table studying him once again before walking off.
Trina Hill, the owner of the small diner walked to the back of the small restaurant, she stood in the doorway of one of the small offices, Mike sat in the room finishing the final paper work for the new shipment order.

"Mike?" Mike jumped and spun around in the chair, Trina walked forward with a chuckle and enveloped the startled man into her arms. "Oh dear I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay Aunt Trina, you just startled me." Trina smiled a soft smile and pressed a kiss to the top of Mike's head.

"Are you all done?"

"Yeah, just need to send the order and the shipment should be here in a few days." Trina nodded and ran her hand through Mike's hair.

"Honey, there is an older man out there, he was questioning if you were working today." Mike turned his attention away from the paperwork to look at his aunt's face, she looked concerned and possibly slightly intrigued.

"What did he look like?"

"Slightly long blondish-brown hair, a cowboy hat,-" before she could finish describing the man Mike interrupted

"Shawn? Shawn Michaels?" Mike watched as his aunt titled her head in thought before her crystal blue eyes so much like his own widened in surprise.

"Yeah I think it was." Mike nodded and he turned back around in his chair, Trina's arms still wrapped around him, "Honey is there a reason Shawn 'The Heart Break Kid' Michaels is sitting in my diner wanting to speak with my nephew?" Mike shrugged, not wanting to tell his aunt in detail what had happened to him. Trina sighed at the lack of response, releasing Mike she scooted his chair back and stood in front of him so that he was looking at her.

"Michael, what happened? After your parents divorce we spoke to each other very little, and then all of a sudden three years ago you show up at my door step needing somewhere to live. I spoke to your father, he told me that you were a WWE superstar, you were living the life you always wanted and suddenly.. what it all just disappeared?" Michael cast his eyes downward, "Michael?"

"I can't tell you Aunt Trina, not now." Trina went to go press for more information but changed her mind, pressing her lips together, she stood up straight, staring down at the young man while gathering her hair in a ponytail,

"Fine don't tell me, but just remember I can't hide you forever, Mike eventually you have to move on from whatever it is that is holding you back. Whatever it is that made you run away. I'm sure there are people that are missing you." Trina walked to the doorway before glancing at the clock that was on the wall, "It's your break time, mail the shipment order, take your break and then I need you to take orders for the rest of the day. We'll talk more later." the silent "this isn't over" lingered in the air. Mike sighed and listened as the door slammed shut, leaning forward he rested his elbows on the desk and cupped his face with his hands. His fingers rubbed viciously at his eyes until they turned red, glancing at the clock Mike noted he had ten minutes left in his break, getting up from the chair he left the small office heading for the kitchen to get a piece of pie before starting his shift.

Mike's shift went by very slow, when he finally got to work Shawn was no longer out there, he had left according to Trina just before Mike came out from the back. Mike had shrugged and said that if it was important Shawn would find him later. Mike went on through his shift, the elderly ladies smiling at him, pinching his cheeks telling him that he was just 'darling'. The few cougars that entered sat at there tables sipping their drinks while ogling Mike's body in ways that often left Mike a blushing mess.

Mike sighed as he finished clearing the last table, Trina had a little while ago, her husband arriving to escort his wife off to a romantic dinner for two, Mike promised her that he would finish the night eaters and then close up.

Mike heard the bell above the door chime, without looking up he spoke "Sorry, we're closed."

"Hmm well that's too bad, we need to talk."

So what do you think?

Read. Review. Love. Hate.

So I know this chapter was short but I just wanted to write something, I've had no inspiration lately and I finally sat down and wrote something, and this kinda sets up for the next chapter.

Next Chapter.. a confrontation.
