"What is this? I thought you didn't like breakfast in bed!" Colby sat down on the bed hugging a pillow
"You're worthy" Joe shrugged "See? Isn't this better than being asleep?"
"Nope! I'd rather be asleep…because someone had the brilliant idea of staying up late laughing at God knows what keeping me from having my 8-hour-sleep. And before you say it, I know I am cranky, but it's your fault. Plus my dark circles are 'swallowing' my cheeks!" The younger man argued. Joe was pressing his lips together not to let a laugh out. His mate kept looking at him with that grumpy-cat-face with his chin supported by the white pillow.
"Well, then you should go back to sleep and I'll eat this all by myself" The gray eyed man teased him biting onto a delicious croissant. Colby kept staring at him with those sleepy eyes that Joe found very cute and then voiced: "You're blackmailing me? It's not gonna-" He sighed "Fuck! Gimme that!" Joe sat in front of his boyfriend and they both ate their breakfast talking about the trip to Atlanta that day after work. Joe would share the rental car with Jonathan and Colby would drive alone "At least I'll listen to what I want!" He joked. He would normally drive alone or even with Antonio, only once in a while he'd share the car with his best friends so it didn't bothered him anymore, he was used to it.
After breakfast, since Colby still had time before the interview he lied down, resting his head on Joe's lap "So I'll probably only see you tomorrow, right?" He asked
"Yeah, I'm going home after the practice and then Jon and I will drive heading Georgia." Joe answered stroking the other's hair as a smile grew on his lips. Colby grabbed his cellphone to check the time and he frowned, it was almost time for the interview.
"No, I want to stay here!" He mumbled "Tie me to somewhere so that I have an excuse to stay!"
"I would, believe that!" He winked at him "But you have to go! So don't be a big toddler and get your ass out of here!" Colby knew his partner was right, however he rolled his eyes at him. He put some clothes on, brushed his messy hair and washed the sleep off of his face. "Aren't you forgetting something?" No answer, Joe figured it would be better if he answered for Colby "You're titles…" He waved the belts above his head "Okay, monkey, I'll leave with you to make sure you don't forget anything else on the way out!" Joe joked and he got a kiss in return. They walked holding hands towards the elevator, but once they got there the split up so no one could see them together as a couple.
When Colby left to his interview, Joe went to the gym and when the two toned man made it to the gym, the other had already left to meet his family. They spent their Sunday apart, all they could do was send texts or make calls. The evening came slower than any of the two expected, but it was late when they got to Atlanta and Colby had training early in the morning ergo a goodnight call from Joe was all he got.
Monday morning, Colby get to the arena a couple minutes past eight for his three hour practice for Monday Night Raw that night. Same happened to Joe only he started his practice one hour later that day. After lunch, they had a 2 hour break before the superstars that were going to preform that night gathered to settle the details for the show, the ring was still empty, no one was training in there so Joe figured why not hang out in there? The couple finally got some time alone. 21.000 people would be there that night to watch Raw but in the meantime all those sits were empty, Joe and Colby were the only ones there in the center of the ring. That was quite a view.
"You know, I missed you." Joe was looking down at Colby. The gap between them immediately closed as they kissed… But that lasted only for a few minutes, then people started coming, but they so focused in their conversations that none of them noticed that the two men were kissing.
Joe had no match settled for Thursday on SmackDown so he had Tuesday and Wednesday off as well, of course he would spend those days with his family.
As Thursday night came around, Joe checked in when he reached the hotel in Charlotte, NC. The others had arrived the day before, but Joe had no match settled for Thursday on SmackDown so he had Tuesday and Wednesday off as well, of course he spent those days with his family. He went to his room, let his tired body fall on the bed and grabbed his cellphone which was on the pocket of his jeans.

The next morning, after putting his clothes on, Colby rushed upstairs to Joe's room. He was just about to knock when the door yanked open, behind it stood Joe who was just about to leave the room "Hi" Colby greeted shyly with a smirk playing over his lips
"Hi" The tattooed man replied. The distance between the two men immediately closed as their lips met. Colby brought his hands up to the other's face feeling his facial hair under his thumbs. Joe could feel the brown eyed man's soft lips curving into a smile. They missed each other really bad, but they didn't need to mention it, they just knew. Joe was away for only three days, although they were used to be together all day, every day and not just the two of them, when someone was away on vacations or with an injury, it seemed like a puzzle with a missing piece. "Breakfast?" Colby nodded. They went downstairs heading the restaurant of the hotel. On their way to the restaurant, they found Jon who was going in the same direction with his headphones on.
"Joe! You're here!" Jonathan greeted "Finally, his hand was getting tired…" He joked pointing at Colby. Joe chuckled. Jonathan lifted his hand to meet his own chest and said "I'm back, bitches!" Well, the taller man warned them he'd mock them somehow, but that's what friends do, right?
"Ugh gosh, and so it begins" Colby muttered.
A morning like that, with intense exercise, called for sinful lunch so some of the athletes went to a little burger shop nearby. The six man ordered their food, meanwhile and Colby kept following the waiter with his eyes while a huge frown appeared on his face. Joe who was sitting next to him softly elbowed his arm in order to make him look at him. "What's wrong?" He looked away to the waiter again as the question came up. His lips were pressed together making the skin surrounding them wrinkle.
"See the waiter?" Joe nodded once "That bastard just keeps staring at you with that stupid smirk…" Colby said through his clenched teeth.
"Dude, if you look any harder you're going to kill the guy" Joe joked
"Well, if he keeps looking at you he's going to get a boner so it's a good thing I kill him before that happens!" Colby's response made him speechless. Joe covered his face laughing his head off
"Are you jealous?" The gray eyed man asked, but the answer was pretty simple
"NO! I'm not-" His voice was louder, the other four guys glared at him and Joe kept laughing hiding behind his hand "I am not jealous" Colby murmured. Hell he wasn't even the jealous type… until now?
"If it helps I'd kiss you if it wasn't for this storyline thing" Joe whispered as the waiter put the burgers in front of them. Just the fact that the waiter was so close made the half-blonde feel incredibly uncomfortable.
After lunch, they went to the gym till dinner time. After dinner some of the superstars and divas were planning a –another- night out, but this time neither Colby nor Joe agreed to go.
They were supposed to spend the evening watching movies in Colby's room, but there was no sign of Joe. He said he'd be there at 9 o'clock and it was already 9:45 so he decided to call him for the 2nd time. Nothing. He tried again and that time was different from the others
"Joe, finally, where are you, y-" Colby was interrupted
"Joe is not here right now, do you want to leave a message?"
Colby froze, he knew that voice from earlier that day… the waiter!
"I don't believe it" The two toned man hung up. He could feel his cheeks burning, his hands turning into fists and his heart beating furiously.
"I just wanted to be your last"
