After two happy months on the road they spent one week in Cameron in company of Jeff, E&C and, of course, John. Good thing was that Nick and the older Hardy had another two weeks because Matt was injured and Vince, knowing how the Hardy boyz hated to stay away from the ring and/or dangerous stuff, gave Nick two more weeks so he could keep an eye on him.

"Call when you land, ok?" Matt said as he hugged his brother.

"Sure." Jeff kissed his lips and then held Jay's hand, smiling. "Love you brother."

"Love you too." Matt said. "Now, go already or you'll lose the plane."

Once alone (finally alone) Matt pinned Nick against the wall and bite his Neck playfully.

"M-matt… The neighbours…" He tried to stop his boyfriend. But half-heartedly, he was enjoying the attention too much after a week of no intimacy.

"What neighbours baby? Jeff is the only neighbour around here and he's away and it's pitch dark out here." He smiled and kept kissing him. "Besides, the whole town knows about us."

"W-what?" He yelled, pushing him away. "Will be in so much trouble…" He whispered. "Vince is going to kill us…"

"They won't say anything, it's kinda the rule: we stay in here and bring money to the town if they don't say anything related to our personal life unless it's already of public knowledge." He explained, smiling.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Live in small places has its advantages, you know?" He smiled and then headed inside the house. "You are sweating baby, are you all right?" He asked.

"I'm dying. It's so hot today." He said as he slipped down onto the sofa.

"Hot? I'd say that today we have the perfect temperature." He said, smiling and flopping next to him and pulling the blond closer to him. "You northern boys…" He shook his head jokingly. "You would die if I ever took you to our house in South Carolina."

"You have a house in South Carolina?" Nick asked.

"Yeah. Dad bought it when we were children and we spent the whole summer in there. And Shanny would come to." He said. "Dad never goes in there anymore, but Jeff and I still spent the summers in there."

Nick nodded and sighed when one of the puppies barked at them. Smiling he took it and scratch him behind the ears. It wasn't long before the other two puppies and Lucas were with them too. The older dog settled himself in Matt's lap, as he usually did, and Matt took another the puppy, the one that looked more like Lucas and Nick to the other too, placing both in his lap.

"Matty?" The blond spoke after a while.

"Yes baby?"

"Do you want to come with me to Ohio?" He asked, smiling. "I met your dad so I think it's fair for you to meet my parents." He said.

"Sure baby." He leaned and kissed him softly on the lips. "Do your parents know about you and I?" he asked.

"N-no." He whispered, looking away.

"Do they know that you are gay?" Matt asked, suspicious.

"No. It's just… they always wanted grandchildren and I didn't want to tell them that, for my part, they'll have one." He whispered, tears filling his eyes.

"Oh, Nicky baby…" He put the puppies back on the floor next to Lucas and cradled him into his arms, rocking slowly. "They will accept, you'll see." He whispered lovingly into his ear.

"You think so?"

"Yeah baby. Don't worry. You are his son, after all." He smiled and hugged him pressed a kiss onto his cheek. "Don't cry darling, please." He whispered and stroked his back soothingly.

"What if they don't?" He asked while straddling Matt's lap and hiding his face into the crook of his neck.

"Then, love, it's his lost. If they can't see how beautiful and loving his son is they just don't deserve you." He said.

"How did Gil take it?" The younger male asked. His voice muffled because of Matt's body.

"Better than we expected. He said he actually expected Jeff and I to be in love with each other. I don't really know what the hell my father has in his head. I think he was high or something, it's the only way it makes sense."

"But Jeff was going out with Beth, wasn't he?"

"Well yeah. I'm gay, but Jeff is bi." He told him, still caressing his back. "We kinda expected the whole town to turn their backs to us, but they were awfully understanding, besides one or two and the priest." The brunette explained. "Besides, baby, if they don't accept you, you know that your brother does and that I'll be with you forever."

"R-really?" He asked, stuttering in surprise.

"Of course honey. I love you and I'm never letting you go." He smiled and pressed a kiss on his mouth, slipping his tongue inside the warm cavity.

Nick wrapped his arms the strong Neck, tugging at the braids softly, causing Matt to moan and smirk against his lips. After some minutes Nick had gathered enough bravery to start undoing Matt's button shirt.

"Nick?" The older man asked, staring at him confused.

"I… I wanna touch you." He mumbled. "On-only if you are okay with it, of course." He said in the same tone of voice and Matt smiled at him before he pushed him down to kiss him.

"Then I'm all yours." Matt whispered against his lips and licked them sweetly before he nipped at the lower one.

The Ohioan smiled and started to kiss and lick at Matt's tan neck, feeling happiness wash over him every time Matt shuddered or hissed lowly. Slowly he moved south and pressed his lips onto Matt's nipple earning a full pleasure moan. Seeing this reaction he flicked his tongue over it and Matt let out a pleasured whimper. Nick smiled and then sucked it.

"God Nicholas!" Now it was his time to shudder: it was the first time he had heard Matt call him with his full name and he had loved it.

"You like that?" He asked, slightly teasing him the injured man.

"Damn yeah. Wanted to feel you mouth for quite a long time now, you know?" He said as he ran a hand through the silky blond hair.

Nick smiled widely at him before he trailed down leaving a path of soft kisses and licks until he arrived at the hem of the jeans Matt was wearing, as he undid the button he chewed his lower lip. He gasped when he saw Matt erection: now that was a big cock. He licked the head softly, tasting him.

"God!" Matt gasped, his good hand clenching on the sofa. After a few more kisses and licks, the older man was a writhing moaning mess under Nemeth's administrations. "Oh Nicky, baby, this feels good, so good…" He moaned. "Oh fuck!" He almost came right away when the blond started to engulf him.

The blond moaned a bit when the head hit the back of his throat and he wasn't even half way there. He backed up until only the head was inside his mouth and he started to run his tongue over the slit endless times, making Matt's moans grow louder and huskier. He wrapped one hand around it and started to stroke it with energy.

"Babe, babe, I'm going to…" He didn't get to finish the sentence; he came right at that moment. "That was amazing." He said once he had regained his breath. "Do you want me to help you?" He asked in a very seductive tone but Dolph shook his head. "No? Why not?"

"I-I…" He looked down at his pants and so did Matt, who smiled when he saw it: his baby had come in his pants. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…" Matt hushed him by putting a finger over his lips.

"It's alright baby." He whispered and then kissed him sweetly on the lips.

"But you didn't come when you…" He whispered ashamed as he watched how Matt put his clothes back where they belonged.

"Darling, I had to wrestle my boyfriend like every two weeks or so and I couldn't get a boner, so I gained a really good self-control of my body and that day was about making you feel good, not me." He said and then pulled him onto his feel. "Let's go put our pyjamas, eat something light and we can go to bed, ok?"

"Ok." They headed upstairs, fingers entwined and once they had the sleeping clothes on the headed downstairs and then to the kitchen. "What do you want Matty?" The blond male asked as he looked inside the fridge.

"Give me a yogurt and I'll be served." The brunette replied and flopped onto a chair, smiling when it was handed to him. "Come here baby." He patted his lap and the younger one complied and sat down, cuddling and eating his own yogurt.

They ate between soft kisses, caresses and tender promises. "Matty?"

"Yes babe?"

"That guy…" He started and then took a deep breath. "Was someone from the roster?" He asked.

"No baby, I told you met him in Raleigh." Matt replied, confused. "Why?"

"Because if he would have I would have killed him for making you suffer." The blue-eyed man replied through his teeth and Matt opened his eyes widely, surprised by that statement.

"It's all good baby, now I have you." He whispered against his head and then pressed a lovely, devoted kiss on his cheek.

"And I have you." He mumbled as he straddled Matt and pressed their chest together, his hot breath puffing against the Hardy's neck. "I love you Matty."

"And I love you Nick. Let's go to bed." He said and the Ohioan took off his lap, quickly put the bowls they used to eat the yogurts into the sink, filled them up with water and went to Matt's room, where he found the brunette already on the bed, his laptop in his lap and replying e-mails with some difficulties.

"Need help baby?" Nick asked as he climbed next to him and kissed his cheek.

Matt smiled sheepishly. "Can you type it for me, please?" He asked.

"Sure." He took the laptop, put himself between the brunette's legs and started typing what the other dictated him. After three e-mails from work they replied six e-mails from fans.

It always amused Nick how Matt had the people eating form his hand, he made it seem so easy, but, at the same time it wasn't weird that the fans adored him: it didn't bother him to wish someone a happy birthday, reply an e-mail or even stop in the middle of the street to sign an autograph or take a photo. They put the laptop aside and the blond rested his head on Matt's chest, playing with a braid.

"Matty?"

"Yes my love?" Matt asked stroking the blond hair. "Is something bothering you?" He inquired. He had come to understand Nemeth's expressions.

"I was just thinking and… what if they send us to different brands?" The blond muttered, looking down sadly.

"What? Nick, baby, we'll work it through, I promise you." Matt whispered, hugging him tightly. "Besides, we still have the NXT season to spent a lot of time together." Matt mumbled into his ear, kissing it softly and smiling when Nick pressed himself closer to him. "I'll do anything in my hand to keep us in the same brand, if I have to go and beg Vince to keep as together I'll do it." He assured.

"W-what? R-really?"

"Of course. I told you I wasn't letting you go anywhere." The dark-eyed man said and then kissed him on the lips. "Let's sleep baby." The blond nodded and kissed Matt's neck before he drifted of to sleep quickly followed by the other man.

"You ready baby?" Matt asked, smiling sweetly at his boyfriend who gave a short and nervous nod while caressing the Matt with paws he was carrying in his hand. "Calm down beautiful, everything is going to be all right."

Nick took a deep breath and rang the bell, waiting for his parents to open the door. "Hello darling." His mother said, blinking when she realised her son wasn't alone. "You brought a friend." She said.

"Yeah… We gotta talk. Is Dad home?" He asked, chewing his lower lip.

"Yes, he is in the back. Sweetie, Nick's here!" She called as she stepped to the side and smiled at the brunette. "You work with Nicky, don't you?"

"Yes ma'am." He said, his thick southerner twang making her giggle. "Matthew Hardy." He presented himself as he kissed her hand in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Matt Hardy himself." Nick's dad said when he saw him and after having hugged his son tightly. "Nice to meet you in person, boy."

"Nice to meet you too, sir." He said, shaking his good hand with him. "Please, c'mon in."

They moved to the living room, the two wrestler sitting one next to the other as the blond one put the animal Matt in his lap.

"Why didn't you tell us you were brining a friend, sweetie?" Mrs Nemeth asked as she gave a cup of coffee to Matt, who smiled in return.

"M-mom, sit down." Nick said and she did it, confused. "H-he is not a friend." He whispered.

"He is not you friend? Then what is he?" She asked, sweetly.

"H-he-he… Mom, dad, Matt's my boyfriend." He confessed and closed his eyes tightly only to open them when he heard a huff and then the brunette laughing hard. "W-what's going on?" He asked when he saw his dad counting money and his mother shaking her head.

"They made a bet about you being gay." Matt said, still laughing.

"An now I've won three hundred dollars. Well done, son." His father said, patting his knee.

"W-wait, you knew-w?" The younger asked, startled.

"No offense son but the fact you never had a real girlfriend and that you used so many body creams and stuff… Kinda of gave you away." His father said, smiling.

"Y-you are not mad at me, then?"

"What for? You fell in love with a man, nothing is wrong with that." Mrs. Nemeth said.

"B-but you wanted grandchildren and…"

"There's still your brother. You don't have to take everything we say so seriously, Nicholas." His father said. "Now, you better take care of him and never hurt him or you'll have to face me!" He said to Matt who chuckled.

"Dad!" Nick yelled, his face flushed and his ears burning.

"Don't worry sir, I have no intention on ever hurting him." He smiled and hugged him.

"Perfect, wouldn't have to kill you." He stood up. "Do you know how to use a shot gun, boy?" Mr. Nemeth asked Matt.

"Yes sir. Why?"

"Mind to show me? Maybe Nick here will learn something. I've been trying to teach him how to do it since he was a baby and nothing, he is a failure with a gun in his hands." He explained and the four of them went outside to the backyard of the house. It wasn't as big as Matt's one but of course, they were in the city.

"But Matt, your good hand is broken." The blond pointed out, worried.

"It's okay. I can shoot with both hands." He said, his sane hand taking Nick's and bringing it to his lips.

Dolph's parents smiled at this picture: they always thought that he would never find anyone or tell them about his sexual preferences.

"There you go, son." Mr. Nemeth gave a shotgun to the Carolinian. "Let's see it."

Matt took a step away from his boyfriend and pointed at the dartboard and shot three in a raw. The three of them impact in the dartboard: one of them in the centre, two of them really close to it but not in the middle.

"Wow…" Nick breathed out and then moved next to Matt, hugging him. "When did you learn to do that?"

Matt laughed and kissed his cheek. "I'm a country boy baby. Jeff, Dad and I used to go hunting." He replied.

They agreed to go back the next day to have lunch with them, so the blond took both Matt's to his apartment.

"It's so beautiful." Matt praised as he surveyed the living room and the kitchen. "It's really you."

The white walls, the reddish sofa, the black furniture… It just matched his boyfriend, who smiled widely and took his hand and led him to the balcony.

"You don't have that view in Cameron, do you?" He said on they were outside and put his head against Matt shoulder, letting him hug him.

"Certainly we do not." He replied, pressing soft kisses onto his neck and nape. "Not that I want them if you are not with me." He loooved making Nick blush furiously and even though he couldn't see him clearly, he knew that, right at that moment, he was as red as a tomato.

"Why do you always say things like that?" Nick mumbled, his hands covering the elder's.

"Because I love to make you blush and embarrassed. You look so cute when you do." Matt replied.

"You are crazy. And evil." Nick growled.

"I'm the dark Hardy, of course I'm evil baby." He replied, massaging his thighs slowly. "Are you happy?"

"Ex-excuse me?"

"Are you happy? About your parent's." He said.

"Yeah. I would have said it to them a long before if I had a hint that they knew it. Am I really that obvious?" He asked, tilting his head back so he could see him.

"Well, maybe to them you were, but to the rest of us… C'mon, almost everyone in the roster is gay so it doesn't really matter. Besides, no one expects a guy who makes his living taking bumps and doing crazy stunts in the ring to be gay." The older said and the blue-eyed one giggled and nodded.

After they had dinner that Nick cooked and watched some TV they headed to the only bedroom and, as usual, Nick cuddled against the Carolinian warms body.

"What do you want to do tomorrow?" Nick questioned.

"I need some new clothes. How about we go shopping?" He suggested.

"Ok. There's a mall not far from here." The Cleveland native replied before he yawned. "Good night Matt. I love you."

"Love you too darling. Sleep tight." He pressed a kiss on his forehead and closed his eyes.

Next morning, Nick found himself alone in the bed so he started looking for his boyfriend around the house, finding him in the living room with Matt in his lap and talking with Stephanie.

"Yes Steph, I'm fine. No, I haven't done anything reckless." He said and smiled at him pointing at his cheek, signalizing that he wanted a kiss and so did he.

"Ok. I believe you because I know Nick wouldn't let you do anything dangerous in your condition." She said. "Where are you, by the way?"

"Cleveland. Why?"

"That's great, next week we are coming over for a show, so we'll reunite in the arena." The daughter of the boss-man said.

"I thought we were going to Austin." Matt said.

"We were, but they have been some problems with the pipes so we'll go next month."

"Ok then. See you next week."

"Bye. Wait, is Nick around you?"

"Yeah." He gave the cellular to his boyfriend who frowned at him. "She wants to talk to you. I'm going to take a shower, all right?"

"Towels are in the closet." He whispered in reply and smiled when Matt kissed his cheek.

Once he had covered his casted arm with a bag, got the towel, he stepped in the shower and smiled: he was so happy. He had the love he had craved for almost his whole life, his brother was happy and dandy with Jay, and Adam with John, his parents-in-law loved him… What else could he ask for? Besides not having a broken arm, of course.

He smiled when he heard the door opening and Nick sneaking inside the shower too.

"Hey babe." He said.

"Not fair! I wanted to scare you!" He pouted.

"Aww… I'm sorry." He cooed and pressed a kiss onto his lips. "Next time I'll let you scare me." Nick huffed but then smiled, hugging him and kissing his neck. "What did Steph want?"

"Oh, nothing. She just told me that into weeks I'm going to NY to tape the Silent library." He replied. "She said you and Jeff were coming too, why?"

"No idea. I'll ask her." He replied and started to run the sponge over the sweet body of his significant one.
