The only thing he didn't like was that his favored face was turned away out of sight .

Roman found every inch of Roos magnificent , the flow of hair that matched length with his , untamable and usually a battle to brush the wavy curly locks , the body long like the hair , enticing and thin but not bony , made a wonderful pillow and equally exciting to close his hands around the waist .

The lack of seeing the odd and lovely , likeable goofy strange face was the lone disappointment .

Roman 's stride was quick paced and he paused near his boyfriend in one of the top notch positions , from behind , gave the backside a fast hard swat and laughed .

' How do you like when the tables are turned ? '

Lemon zest had not before been so bitter and acidic . He was gazing in the disgruntled face of not his lover but a glowering and smug , disdainful Sandow instead , gigantic cranberry colored velvet top hat , big white goggle glasses , silky shirt with the impressive how low can you go cut neckline , the correct tights and boots with accurate decorations and a dangling swaying bright enamel lemon pendant on a chain cord .

' You have some nerve , gutsy and stupid to piss me off . My Roos is not a joking matter especially not for you to mock . '

' Roos . ' Sandow repeated snidely . Immaturity even in the nick name . Perhaps it's my version of vengeance . You took a piece of my beard ! '

' No , DEAN cut off some of your beard . I only helped him by holding you down with my boot in your chest which I'll do again if you don't stop mocking my boyfriend ! '

' You assisted and that's reason to dislike you , yourself and both of the freaks who warm your bed . '

' Your clock is ticking down to the end . ' Roman fumed .

' Your opinions don't affect me . This preposterous comedy show I've been putting on is for Cody only . My hope is if I can amuse him and create smiles and laughter , he'll find love with me as I would appreciate instead of the over rated thief with the active gavel . '

' For Cody ?! So the guys gossip backstage IS true . '

' I love Cody more than any other and I admire him thoroughly in ways nobody could understand . '

Roman felt the calm flow that Seth had teased him about many times , being kind and having a soft heart . He 'd leave Sandow undamaged for now , gave him sympathy , the man was in love , he didn't deserve a beating . Romes would allow the teasing of his love slide just this once .

He nodded , grunted a ' goodbye ' and had stepped from the mid carder's area of the locker room when the insulting words touched his hearing .

' Your lover is inefficactious . '

Roman whirled , fixing a choke hold around Sandow's beard stubble throat .

' WHAT did you say ? ! '

' You already know , other wise your anger wouldn't be as great so I shall not repeat my words . '

' You do NOT make comments about Leo ! All of your so called intelligence and you're nothing more than a moron , insulting him and infuriating me . '

' He'll move on from you once he finds out you're ashamed of him and his ridiculous mannerisms . '

' I'm opposite of ashamed for my Leok , the only negative feelings I have is towards anybody keeping him back so he can't show how talented he actually is ! '

Sandow smiled . He'd found Roman's weak spot , button to push , Achilles heel of the cheered for face .

He thought about Cody , beautiful nerdy hilarious Cody , multi talented man that he day dreamed about , to remove from the tattooed arms of gavel banging Barrett back into his own welcoming superior ones .

Even being bashed against the cold smooth block wall of the dressing area in the locker room didn't diminish his fantasies .

He was strong enough to live through the beating , stitches later to close the cut leaking garnet rain onto the duplicate of Rose's ring garb .

He knew what others did not , a top star 's weakness .

Weakness that Sandow could take simple advantage of , bring down Reigns and his ' Empire ' and take over the WWE kingdom , banishing Barrett and keeping Cody as his very own perfect prince .

Sandow smiled , gold glitter stars swirling in his dreams when he blacked out and fell .

' Yeah , you think I'm crazy ... '

Fergal clicked the button , silencing the music . The demon pouted and whined .

' That 's one of my favorite songs ! '

' And my most disliked . '

' Envious that my singing voice leaves yours far behind ? '

' Please do leave , I won't cry during the departure . '

The demon grinned slyly , making the human side of the split face sore .

' I'm the one who created you and not a crumb of gratitude , only attitude . ' the demon rhymed and chuckled , its laughter sounded like the clashing of antlers when male deer battled .

A terrible and humiliating thing to admit , the demon was above him on many levels. It had made him stronger , faster , better stamina and reflexes, had a shockingly spectacular singing voice compared to his , soft vocals of a barely heard choir boy .

' Actually my parents created me and have given me a nicer life than you being a parasite under my skin . '

' Little prince , you wouldn't be HERE if I hadn't turned you into a demonic god . ' His demon motioned to the vast lot , beyond the many vehicles the expanse of building towered up , a real wrestler's training dream , the Performance Center .

America . Florida . One of the largest and most popular companies , the one even people who didn't care for wrestling knew the name of , could easily give a list of famous names who'd been there through the last two decades .

And the demon had played a big role in this happening. Otherwise he'd still be a face in the crowd , maybe a no name nobody , seething and wondering sometimes how anybody could be fanatical over the various ' make ups ' the demon changed Fergal's face and body into but not acknowledge his own talent , hard work and skill .

Then he'd argue with the human part of himself , it WAS his talent that had gotten him to the States , not a greedy and wretched Akuma .

Akuma was soon ignored and forgotten once he stepped through a set of several wide double doors and felt seeing it all in one lightning flash of amazement , as out of breath as he had when becoming demon possessed .

THIS was what he had craved for years , all the medicine balls , jump ropes , rowing machines , weights of every size , six rings in the center of the room that stretched down a eternal path , three for the women , three for the men exact , water , supplement and juice bar off to one side in its own seperate lounging space almost half of the size of his entire home , male and females alike doing kip ups , sit ups and one armed push ups , lunges , kicks and rolls on yoga mats , trainers shouting encouraging words of advice , referees talking in groups , some people standing in front of cameras brushing up on their promo skill .

It wasn't exactly a Japanese dojo , not quite a clone but it took his heart anyway .

Fergal fell in love instantly the way he believed any real wrestler who cared about the profession would at the sight of this glorious place , as he did every time he merely thought about his fresh fallen snow beast of a cousin , faint in the head and heart , mesmerized with the true beauty of such a paradise for the future .

The demon smiled wickedly and also impressed , began humming the tune from the old tv show ' The Jeffersons ' and Fergal couldn't keep from smirking . Foul thing made a good , if ironic yet fitting point with its choice in music the same as it did giving Devitt his different skins to wear the most people only saw as body paint , characters ranging from comic books to horror films .

The demon liked movies as much as it did singing .

Seeing many an odd looking wrestler didn't faze Devitt , with wrestling no matter where you worked you were bound to cross paths with a true freak but this was a circus reject , horror convention , side show gone berserk .

For starters there was someone dressed as a big white rabbit and the rabbit apparently was fine with being nude in public .

The akuma changed and Fergal grimaced at the sudden stabbing flesh ripping pain from being altered .

He hated this particular character since it caused the worst pain to his flesh , razors sprouting from his fingertips and his human face in agony from the flames that scarred and melted the skin .

' Now we're in Wonder Land , Alice . ' Elm Street 's Devitt- Demon growled , staring straight at the hare costumed person .

' Amateur at best . You didn't say ' bitch ' . ' sneered the unimpressed scolding voice from behind . ' You're no Barton , that perfect man . Shit , you're barely at Jackie level . '

Fergal didn't need to turn around to know who it was . not only was the voice easy to recognize , it also helped he'd met and participated in the shaking hands meet and greet with those highest up on the 'totem pole ' of the company before being shown around by the tour guide that really did have strange , gold painted sons .

The only thing that surprised him was his akuma hissing and cringing , trying to hide itself down further in his veins .

' You can SEE the demon ?! ' Fergal sputtered and stammered , his pupils wider .

' Being a half breed myself , yes . Anyone supernatural can and will . ' Kane said .

' But ... but ... ' It made him feel faint , this new startling knowledge . In Japan everyone believed in ghosts and demons . Now on a different land , he didn't expect as much acceptance .

Here you get used to the odd things or you fall apart . Not everybody around is full human , obviously . And the many couple relationships of two or sometimes more guys together has scared off men in the past , hell , even recently . But like I said you either survive it , usually become part of it or you ... '

' Die . Become an extinct species . ' Devitt replied , finishing Kane's sentence .

Although now the demon had went silent on him , his head was pulsating , ready to split open .

His stomach whirled and churned , enough to make him stand against a ring post for support .

He held back the vomit , somewhat ignored , standing and swaying before wisely sitting on the ring steps .

Strawberries .

Fergal blinked confused . Strawberry smell floating around his nose , fuzzy red velvet in his sight along with huge clear equally bewildered eyes and worried crumpled frown .

Here , for the stomach sickness . '

How was it possible this strange lanky being had read his mind and could tell he felt terrible ?

Maybe not too hard , Devitt scolded himself , feeling idiotic . After all he was sweating tremendously .

He blinked again . The inside of the top hat was storage , full of cans of ginger ale , good and cold with a delighted grin as their travel partner .

' Oh . Yes . Thanks . '

' More to battle the dehydration ! '

He was in a fun house , Fergal decided . The demon had been right , this bizarre crazy place WAS Wonderland , he thought while observing this happy unusual creature shake out miles of mega wavy curly incomparable long loooong hair and several water bottles fell from it .

Devitt backed up in shock until his body bumped the ring canvas . Rose kept smiling and holding the arm load of bottled water like it was an everyday normal thing , using your hair for storage .

' My Skull Face ! ' the weird man said loudly , looking with cheerful longing at the possible twin brother that fast - walked towards them , wearing a tired , harried but amused smile .

Maybe not a brother , perhaps a cousin ? Fergal wasn't sure but they looked amazingly alike , probably were related in some way .

' Roos , you shouldn't bother people . They need to work out and be left alone . ' Roman focused on Devitt who hid his laughter at the inked man's overprotective parent facial expression .

' He isn't bugging me , in fact he brought me something to drink . ' Devitt paused with a tiny smile . ' Gallons . '

' Still he shouldn't - . ' Roman exhaled heavily , Rose now monkey climbing his back , rearranging his hair . ' What did we discuss ? '

' Lots of words and sentences . Vocabulary . ' Rose answered , cotton candy sweet combined with mischievous and Roman tried to look impatient and fed up while holding in his own laughter .

' But what did I TELL you ?! '

' You said... ' another suck while considering . ' My Skull Face's words were , that feels very good , keep going , that's it , use those magic hands and pull the rabbit out of the hat . '

' ROOS ! ' Roman bellowed , snatching the hat away to place in front of his burning face .

' And your eyes crossed . Then they rolled back and you smiled . '

' ROOS! ! You shouldn't - '

' That is what you said . ' Rose smiled kindly . ' And your eyes did . I remember . '

' I didn't mean for you to spill to a stranger what we did last night ! '

Fergal fidgeted and Kane snorted and smirked a short distance across the room , sipping water , receiving a swift harsh glare from Roman .

' Only the most fun activities . Only the best vocabulary . ' Another suck to make a statement .

' You wonderful pain in my side , you 'll wreck my life yet with the trouble you cause . ' Roman said merrily , beaming proudly , face still hot and Devitt was invisible once more , now longer by the couple fully focused on the other .

' As awful as it is , you'll get used to being alone . ' Another voice , this one from the ring .

Devitt grunted , nodded . Yet again he didn't need to see who was speaking to recognize . He knew more indie guys than the average person knew about eating , sleeping and breathing .

' Hey , Generico . '

' Yo . ' Sami offered his hand , led with a tug Fergal willingly into a ring , their favorite place to be next to home .

' Yo ? ! ' Devitt smirked . ' Still living in the eighties , ya fool . '

' Hey I packed my neon mall clothes in boxes out of sight ! ' Sami protested .

' How heavily taped shut ? '

' Um... not very . '

Fergal appreciated Zayn 's sheepish squirm and grin reply .

And there his demon reappeared , putting the thoughts only for Sheamus over on the list of Zayn .

He inhaled one blasting choke of a gulp , purposefully knocked his body into the post , giving his crotch an ache but harm to it wouldn't be as a dilemma to deal with than an embarrassing erection would've .

The demon gloated , adding more to a small possibility than may have been there all along , without him knowing .

He didn't smile . He wanted to , suddenly the face was adorable , the body with its growing to Shawn and Bryan And Cesaro level of chest and stomach hair was attractive , akuma or not , he wanted to lay on the body , beneath it , on top once more , panting and moaning .

No use for akuma even more , not when Devitt 's lips demanded to be licked , his sweat tried to soak him , his brain couldn't function with the thoughts of moaning , fingers leaving dents pressed into backside flesh , curves of hips , teeth nibbling at thighs , Zayn's pink eraser stub nipples in his human only mouth , demon uninvited to the entertainment .

Devitt excused himself , making sure to not look at Sami , not wanting to see any emotion , disappointment , anger , confusion , lust ...

He stumbled into glasses , hair pulled back and stuck out ears that ran neck and neck with Barrett's to the big ears finish line .

' Excellent at wrestling , one of the greatest . ' Neville sneered . ' Other than that , you're nobody special or important , just a new kid that Sami flirts with but doesn't put out . '

Neville shoved by him , hair swaying .

' The way he teases and flirts with everyone . '

Fergal used the first stall to settle in , far from the toilet , side of his face against the inside of the door , legs stretched from beneath the door to outside the stall , a baffling humorous sight though he couldn't find a reason to laugh .

He was the new guy , the new ' kid ' .

Maybe had friends already , some people he could trust , others he hadn't figured out yet .

Already been hit on , already felt ashamed of himself for craving anyone except his dreamed about Sheamus .

His entire being hurt , even his fingernails felt sore .

Would he fantasize about Zayn again , begin dreaming of him while the sky brightened in the early dawn ?

Akuma touched him , gripped and clutched the same as it had for awhile , so long being his only lover .

He moaned once , sharp , hips slung forward in a gun shot to hit the toilet .

He blushed and used enough toilet paper to remove the glob of white , line nearly matching the color of the seat it dripped from .

WWE was shockingly more strange than Japan .

He 'd make it or become extinct here .

And he already had , it seemed , an enemy , worthy as opponent , outstanding performer .

Fergal grinned , his half and half reflection 's human teeth and serpent fangs glistening in the bright rest room lighting .

He liked it here .

They both did .
