Seth's Point Of View
"Uh..." My head in my hands, elbows resting on my knees and all my stuff was haphazardly laying all over the room. I was currently only wearing my black combat pants and my black leather boots. I was shirtless with my hair falling in between my fingers.
"What's up?" Dean seemed...oddly happy?! I questioned what happened at the back of the bus. I didn't rest on it too much, I already had enough to deal with.
"Just thinking." I responded with a sigh.
"About what?" Roman asked.
"Where I'm going to take her on our first date, where we'll be. How to protect her from her brother." The last part was muttered under my breath.
"I thought you were over this. Seth, cross it when you come to it." Roman was sick of hearing it.
"Why you so interested, all of a sudden?" Dean was just brainless.
"I love her and she's only recently told me about her dad and stuff. My natural instinct is to protect her. I just need to digest it and stop worrying. It's always at the back of my mind, I just need to stop worrying too much. Anyway, our first date?" I asked lifting my head.
"You've dated before, where did you take Leighla?" Roman's tone was al out mocking me.
"This is different. I want to make an amazing impression and show that I'm willing to spend a lot of money on her. I'm genuinely stuck. Do I do it when we're in London or wait until we're back home?" I was screaming for help.
"Sethie has it bad." Dean joked.
"Use Yelp for places around the arena in London and if you don't like them, then go for Iowa, Ohio or something." Roman advised.
"Don't go for Ohio, or Cincinnati anyway. It's a shithole." Dean told me.
"Thanks, it makes me feel better." I smiled, ignoring Dean's comment.
"No problem. I didn't think you'd fall this bad for Sapphire. When you began talking about the amazing wrestler who was being trained by you, Marek and Shane, I thought you were talking about a guy. Stereotypical. You soon began talking about how she looked and that you were talking to her in a coffee shop and stuff. I knew you liked her, but how bad was a question I could never answer." Roman explained.
"I remember each time she was mentioned, you seemed to fall deeper and deeper, it was just a question of when would you fall too deep that it was inescapable and you had no other choice but her." Dean's explanation was very strange. I caught his drift, but that was weird. I stood up to pull my Under Armour shirt on and then my tactical vest., when suddenly there was a loud knock at the door. Dean, the only one that was fully dressed, answered the door. Roman was in the midst of pulling on his combat pants.
"Is Seth there?" I heard the sweet, innocent voice from behind the door as I pulled on the black, long-sleeved shirt and peered around the door.
"You requested my face?" I asked, seeing pain on her face.
"Can I talk to you please?" She asked, pain in her voice.
"Always, just give me two seconds and I'll be out." I reassured her before grabbing my vest and gloves.
"Man whore, what would Galina think?!" I startled Roman who looked really confused, but terrified. I dashed out before he could say anything or even react. The door was closed behind me. I followed Sapphire to a very secluded spot, away from all the chaos. In this spot, I put my vest and gloves on.
"Seth, I don't feel good. I have a sore stomach..." I didn't allow her to finish. How rude of me.
"Are you pregnant? He put his...in your...? Have you got a stomach ulcer? Cancer? Are you..." She interrupted me.
"Seth shut the fuck up and let me finish. I'm not pregnant unless you're a sorcerer, I don't need to go to a doctor. I probably ate something that didn't agree with me or something." She told me.
"Do you have sweatpants and a baggy shirt?" She asked quietly.
"Sweatpants, yes. A baggy shirt? None of my shirts are baggy." I replied with a sympathetic tone. "Come to my locker room and I'll give you a pair." She smiled and hugged me before following me to the Shield's locker room. I peeked around the door first.
"We can't go in, Roman is indecent." I told her, being very serious. The door was still open a little.
"I'm shirtless. Seth if she was jealous, she wouldn't be with you. She's seen me shirtless as many times as Galina." Roman called.
"Seriously?!" She asked me. I would never be jealous of Roman, I love what I have and wouldn't change it for the world. I walked in and over to my stuff and laid my suitcase on the wooden bench with a thud. I unzipped it and began thoroughly searching for a pair of sweatpants. Finally, I handed her a pair of black Hogwarts sweatpants.
"No, I refuse these ones." She joked.
"What?! Why?" I was confused and didn't catch onto the joke.
"I'm a Slytherin." There it was. She began to chuckle, as did I. I'm a Gryffindor.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a t-shirt, but your sideman might have something." I joked. I was referring to Roman, whom she had an arm around the waist of and his arm was wrapped around her, his hand resting on her shoulder.
"Baggy shirt?" Roman asked. She nodded. "Have a Shield tee." He put the black t-shirt on her head, so she struggled to see. She took the t-shirt off her head and hugged him properly.
"Thanks." She muttered at the same time as I shouted:
"You're not allowed to hug him, he's shirtless and Samoan." I was joking with Roman.
"Out of spite." Sapphire returned, jokingly, as she wrapped her arms around his thick, tanned abs. I wore an expression that looked like a kicked puppy.
"Aw." She cooed, letting go of Roman and jogging over to me and hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her and began rubbing her back.
"I'm here if you need anything else." I told her. "Oh, I wanted to ask you something. I was going to ask if you'd like to go on a date in London or Iowa."
"Renee asked me if you'd like to go on a double date with her and Dean in London." She confused us all, not even Dean knew.
"I'd rather it was just you and me because it's more romantic." I admitted.
"You're idea of an ideal date is going to a Bears game." Roman commented.
"A Bears game?! I'd love that. For our first date, we should go traditional restaurant and then a walk or something. I'm up for a Bears game or Warped Tour." She is the greatest person ever.
"I'm not weird. Thanks. I'll see what I can do." I had to prove a point.
"Awesome." She smiled. There was a knock on the door.
"Seth and Sapphire, you're up next and Mark Carrano wishes to speak to you both." The male voice told us.
"Leave your stuff here. Get it on the way back." I explained as I removed my arms from her body and opened the door. We walked down towards gorilla, where Mark Carrano stood.
"You wanted to see us?" Sapphire asked Carrano.
"Yes. Just a couple of quick things. Tomorrow, we want you two to be on the backstage pass. I've seen how close you're getting behind the scenes and we would like you to develop an on screen relationship. Preferably faster than your relationship." Carrano made a joke, that was pretty funny because it's true, neither of us laughed. We just awkwardly chuckled a little.
"We'd be happy to do that." I spoke on behalf of Sapphire who seemed up for it.
"Awesome we'll give you a rough timeline soon." He told us. When we left to stand at the curtain, her music began playing. I had no worries with her by my side.
Sapphire's Point Of View
After the match, Dean and Roman were in a tag team match and up at the top of the building getting ready for their match. Seth lead me into the locker room. He sat down on the bench next to the clothes that I was going to wear after my shower and next to all his stuff. He patted his thighs, signalling for me to sit down. I slowly sat on his thighs. He wrapped his arms around my slender frame and pulled me towards him. I buried my head in his neck.
"How ya feelin'?" He asked quietly.
"Better, thanks. I'm still a little sore and mentally hurt, but I'm always better when you're around." I'm just so soppy.
"Aw, that's sweet. Thank you. I remember having terrible days and then coming home to you just cheered me up." He squeezed me a little tighter.
"Thanks Sethie." I smiled. "Ya know, I like the feel of your tactical vest, but you know what I like better?" My voice wasn't above a whisper.
"What's that Sapphy?" I couldn't help but smile at the nickname.
"The little tufts of black hair on your chest and abs, not to mention your wash board abs themselves." I ran my hand over his tactical vest.
"Later, I'm going to get ready for a shower soon." He smiled.
"I just love being with you, there's never a dull moment. I can't wait to beat your ass at the new Guitar Hero game when it comes out."
"And there'll be flying snakes?! Seriously?! You can barely beat me on Guitar Hero from like ten years ago." We were always super competitive, especially when it comes to Guitar Hero. We're both so evenly matched, both of us owning almost every game.
"Yes of course Mr I Have Never Beaten Sapphire On The Last Five Games." I retorted.
"Oh, that's how you wanna play. Fine. When we get back we'll have a Guitar Hero tournament. If I win, you have to cook for me everyday we're home for a month." Seth boasted.
"If I win, I get control of the TV for a month. Buh-bye Bears." I smirked. I stood up and shook his hand before returning to the divas' locker room to shower with the sweats and t-shirt in my arms. I would need to find a way to repay Roman and Dean for giving me the pills and t-shirt. I'll get them aftershave or something, I don't know. I'll ask Seth.
I was waiting on Seth wearing his really baggy, black joggers with Gryffindor written in burgundy with the house crest on the left pocket, containing my phone, iPod and headphones. I had Roman's Shield t-shirt on, it was five sizes too big, but it was cosy. I had Seth's grey QC Crossfit hoodie over the top and my Raiders Snapback on my head. My black and white checked Vans matched my backpack, which was on my back and my suitcase next to me. I was only waiting outside his locker room for a few minutes, when he came out. Roman and Dean exited first.
"Seth, we found your hoodie." Roman hollered. Seth appeared in plain, grey sweatpants, a burgundy Gryffindor t-shirt, his usual black Glamour Kills snapback and his black Vans. He was not amused when he saw what I was wearing.
"I'll give you this one and I'll wear my Seth Rollins hoodie." I told him, to which he blatantly refused. He had his black ADTR hoodie in his backpack and decided to wear that instead. He grabbed his backpack and suitcase before we all clambered on the bus. Suitcases on the bottom and backpacks on the bus with us. I took a window seat near the back of the bus, Seth sat next to me. We had Jimmy Uso and Naomi in front of us, Dean and Renee across from us and Jey Uso and Roman diagonal to us. We were surrounded by people we knew and people who wouldn't tell everybody that we're dating. Adam Rose and Corey Graves were sat behind us and Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston diagonally behind us. Luckily, Xavier was too busy studying to notice anything and Kofi was too engrossed in a Captain America comic to even care. Knowing that nobody would tell anybody without Seth knowing, I rested my head on Seth's shoulder.
"You alright baby?" He whispered in my ear. I just nodded. I was tired, exhausted and a little achy. I was with Seth and nothing could be better. We were just waiting on a couple people before we set off.
The drive to the hotel seemed to take forever. No stops and it still took forever, Kofi was on his third comic halfway there. Seth was asleep and hurting his neck, the idiot left his neck pillow in his suitcase again. I looked over and saw Dean asleep with Renee's head in his lap and her feet on the other seat. Xavier had completely crashed and was now literally face down in a book with his hair resting on his laptop. Kofi was drifting off. Naomi and Jimmy were both asleep. Roman was asleep with his head on Jey, who was snuggling into him. When they each felt the facial hair they awoke, startled and terrified. Roman pushed Jey off him and tried to go back to sleep. As he rolled over, he noticed me giggling and, through facial expressions, told me not to tell anyone. Jimmy and Naomi had to know, Dean and Seth knowing wouldn't be harmful. Plus, Seth would be able to get revenge on Roman for slagging him off for having a huge crush on me. Sorry Roman, it was just too funny. I soon realized that we were driving to the next town and should probably sleep. By that time we were ten minutes away from the hotel. I had the joy of waking Seth up, everybody else was awake, Xavier's face was stuck to the book and his hair had tangled around a couple computer keys. Naomi had to destroy Jimmy's blanket fort to wake him up. Xavier was being humiliated by Big E and Kofi, who then helped him get his hair untangled in a matter of seconds. He was the last one off the bus as he had to pack his backpack and close down his laptop. I followed Seth off the bus and to collect our suitcases. He checked us in while I wheeled both our suitcases in, just in time as we were being directed to our room. We took the elevator up to the third floor, accompanied by Dean and Renee, and Naomi and Jimmy. We were 328, near the start of the hallway. We found ours very easily. Seth was wheeling the suitcases as I opened the door and held it open until he was in the room. He switched on the light before proceeding into the main room. A huge double bed with the traditional Premier Inn bed sheets, white with a purple sash with the Premier Inn logo on, at the end of the bed. There was a small, black, LG, flat screen TV in a wooden cabinet that was almost the same height as the white walls. There was a white door leading to the bathroom, which had free shampoo, conditioner and soap inside the shower and even white towels hung on the towel racks. It was some welcoming. Seth just laid the suitcases at the foot of the bed. I decided to change into a pair of navy blue, Scotland Rugby shorts that didn't even cover my thighs properly and a red Heaven's Basement t-shirt with an owl on the front. Seth just stripped to his red boxers that had Mario and Luigi all over them. What a dork?! We clambered into bed in the dark of the sunrise. Seth had his arms wrapped around my body while my head laid on his chest. I took the opportunity to run my hand over the hair that was on his abs. I closed my eyes in hopes of drifting off.
"You alright, baby?" He asked quietly.
"No, I'm not." I snapped.
"Why, what's up?" He questioned.
"I'm really really tired and just want to sleep." I told him firmly.
"Sorry, baby." He kissed my head before allowing me to drift off into a deep sleep.
Seth's Point Of View
Sapphire was still asleep on me. She looked so peaceful. I really didn't want to disturb her, but I had to get up and do something. I decided to read until she woke up. I sat on the chair in the corner and read. After awhile I realized that we'd be going to the gym and decided to get dressed. She hadn't stirred in awhile, which meant it wouldn't be long until she was awake. I took a chance and slid off my Mario boxers and pulled on a pair of blue Captain America boxers. I then slid on a pair of plain black skins and a pair of black Nike shorts with the white tick on the right leg. As I was pulling on my shorts, Sapphire had just awoken.
"Morning, how are you?" I greeted warmly.
"Better thanks. I feel a lot better. It was probably lack of sleep." She told me before she got up and grabbed shorts and t-shirt as well as underwear. She walked into the bathroom to change as I pulled on a black t-shirt with Kill Cliff written in white writing. I then tied my hair up in a bun and tied my pair of black Nike sports sneakers. Sapphire finally emerged in her blue Fila shorts with a red pinstripe and white pinstripe down either leg and a black Batman t-shirt. She brushed her hair and tied her blue Nike sports sneakers. With a towel, water, Kill Cliff and a Quest Bar each, we set off for Crossfit.
After a very intense workout, we decided to grab something to eat out of the local Subway before heading back to the hotel. We waited until we got back to have our subs. Sapphire had a 6" ham and chicken salad with cheese sub on Italian bread, I decided to go for a foot long pizza sub. Salami, cheese and tomato purée on Italian bread. I also had salad and cheese on top. We were sat in the hotel room. Sapphire was sat on the bed, I was sat on the floor with my legs stretched out.
"Y'know it may not seem it, but we're moving pretty fast in our relationship." She began.
"Really? It seems like we're still friends but we share a bed. It seems like nothing has really changed. If you think we're moving too fast, then slow it down. We'll do everything when we're both ready." I compromised.
"I was just meaning that most new couples don't immediately begin to share a bed. We know more about each other than probably our families do." She explained.
"Yeah, but we're like best friends and we haven't been on a date yet, we haven't kissed or held hands. The most we've done is fall asleep on each other." I commented.
"I suppose." She thought. We continued eating for awhile before she spoke again.
"I need to ask you something that may seem pretty obvious, but I need a straight answer. Do you see a future with me?" She asked.
"That is the reason I'm with you, I see a future with you and I love you so much." I replied. "Do you see a future with me?"
"Yes." She had no expansion.
"Sapphire, you're amazing. The future I see right now is in ten years, we'll be in a big house. Married with a couple dogs and a newborn baby. I'll still be wrestling to provide for us, but by the time our baby is four it'll be less frequent and we'll have another baby." I smiled as she gave me a strange look.
"You? A couple dogs? You'd have a whole compound of dogs and just mass breed them." She had a point, I do love dogs. "Also, I know we're in the early stages, but I think you need to know. I have poly cystic ovaries." I didn't quite know what it meant, but went along with it. "Seth, I may never be able to have children. We can try in the future, but chances are I won't be able to carry the child or be fertile." Her speech was slow to allow me to comprehend.
"There is always adoption or dogs." I smiled.
"You also need to know that I don't like children which comes from being the oldest of five grandchildren. I haven't wanted children ever. However, after you described our future I'm having second thoughts. I've never had second thoughts until now." I was really shocked. She has certain qualities that show she'd be an amazing mother and she seems to like children. Maybe it's because they're family and children love her.
"After you telling me that, I don't want to be the one who pressures you. I love you so much and it's your body. If you want to have children, great. If you don't want to have children, great. It doesn't matter as long as I'm with you and you're happy." I expressed. I needed her to know that we are in this together and we decide together. She smiled the friendliest smile and leaned in towards me for a hug. I wrapped my arms around her body and squeezed a little. She leaned back a little.
