A little POLL
Well, we have finally gotten to the part where some evil person takes a particurlarly perverted and sick liking in hurting Jeff… I have to admit that I don't feel very good about using Matt as the perp, I know I already asked a couple of chapters back, but I'll do it again… Should the attacker be:
1. Matt Hardy
2. Chris Jericho (the one I was actually thinking of)
3. Kozlov
4. Someone alltogether different? (maybe someone has an idea…)
Just want to know what you guys think about it, so please tell me :-), even if I have, thanx to Narcis, a great plot already in my little mind hehe
Disclaimer: And no, still not mine… A pity really, but that's the way the world goes… Nothing's mine besides the mistakes and the insane ideas hehe, the WWE belongs to McMahon and the different guys to themselves, I may however take them to be mine should they offer themselves to me :-)
Notes:
--- Another drawing appearing, curtesy of Miz and Morrison and a third guy who delivered it, but I have no idea who it could be so I just keep him a mystery hehe
--- I screwed up… Again… Hehehe… Miz and Morrison did appear in Atlanta, but who cares really, I'll keep them in Manchester for the fun ;-)
--- And another Undertaker/Jeff Hardy hehe, and to change a little Miz/Morrison,
--- Since Extreme Rules I am now proud member of the "I Hate CM Punk"-club *pouts amused*

Chapter 15
Smackdown
November 21st 2008
Manchester
All over the week Mark tried his best to get Jeff to smile again, but any comment on how he had pinned him ended in the same drama, with Jeff pouting and Mark getting slightly mad so he decided not to bring it up anymore. Hunter had agreed on sparing with Jeff and they spend most of their days in the gym, with shouting and cheering support around the ring…
It all was pretty nice until Matt discovered a drawing in his lockerroom after the ECW show on the 18th that made him blow all the fuses he possessed, and when he made it back to the hotel both Shawn and Glen burst out into laughter, wondering what could have happened to put him in such a mood, and Shawn's hilarity only grew when Matt handed him the piece of paper "Well, you have to hand it to your brother that he can draw, right Matt", "Uhu, he's so in for a beating", and Matt took his phone out and called his little brother to clarify some things…
Jeff was just getting out of the shower and Mark answered his phone, annoyed by the loud sound when he read it was Matt "Hi Matt", "Where is he? Hand him the phone I've got some things to tell that little fucker", "What happened?", "That asshole drew me with all the divas naked in a ring, shagging each other… It ain't funny", the Deadman had to concentrate not to laugh, good, Matt couldn't see the smirk he had on his face when he politely faked compassion "Did you protect yourself at least? Who knows what diseases they may have given you in the orgy of the millenium", Matt was sure he could hear Mark grin and smirk through the phone and both embarrassed and humiliated pouted "Shut up, just wait until yours is found and you'll stop finding it amusing", "Uh, well, would you have rather he had drawn you with a guy?", Matt was passed caring that he was on the phone with the Undertaker and spat, not happy "You so deserve each other, now pass him on please"
Jeff was standing next to Mark wondering who he was talking to, and seeing him grin shamelessly, especially after what he had just said it dawned to Jeff who was on the phone, he took it and smirked, playing it cool even if he was nervous "I hear you got yours", "You little shit… When I get you, I'll so beat the crap out of you", continuing playing it cool Jeff laughed "Uh, and there I thought I was nice enhancing some of your body parts", "You're so dead Jeffrey, so dead", "No, I'm alive…" Jeff laughed adding "Thanx to the Atlantic sea may I add", "Just wait, when I get my hands on you…", and just to tease Jeff whispered sensually "Uh, no thanx bro, you're not my type", "This is not amusing… Long saw it, Long…", "Ups… And now he has an interest in you?", Jeff could hear Shawn laugh "Well I saw it too… And not only me…"
Matt raged "This is not funny… We're not in kindergarden dammit", "Glen and Rey laughed about theirs, hell even Hunter and Stephanie… Why do you have to be such a drama queen", "It's an invasion of privacy Jeff…", "Well, it was the only one so relax… You know who gave it to you", "I found it", "Damn, there are too many drawings out in the wild… Can you find out who put it there?", "No, I will beat the life out of you though", "Love you too Matt", Jeff hung up and turned only to find Mark's intense gaze fixing him "What?", "What's on mine?", Jeff blushed "There is none", "Bullshit kid, what's on mine", "Mark, it's really nothing", "What is on it", "Nothing… We didn't draw you", "I swear if you lie to me, your brother won't have to kill you, I will", Jeff crossed his fingers discretely, hoping Shawn would find them before everybody had theirs and sweetly grinned "I promise Mark, I would never have the guts to draw you", "Right"
When they met for dinner and Mark told Hunter about Matt's drawing, Mike and John had some trouble not laughing, especially when Jeff told them that Matt was raging like a fury and had promised there would be hell to pay… At least one person wasn't happy and all amused about it, and John felt really content to know Jeff was in trouble with his brother, it gave him a sweet revenge for the chair incident, Brian looked at Jeff "What did you guys draw?", "Euh, there was Kane and Rey, and Hunter and Stephanie… And some others", "Me too?", "Uh, no, no Kendrick", Mike smirked "And me?", "Uh no, no…", Jeff still saw the Miz and Morrison drawing vividly before his eyes and Mike and John too, and Jeff's blatant lie about it was just too funny to them…
After dinner they moved to a pub, Ric sitting next to Jeff "So Jeff, how have you been?", "Good", "That all?", "What do you want to know?", "Well, when I last saw you, you were at Mark's ranch", "Well, let's say I'm over my problems now", "Good to hear kid… And how are you feeling about beating the mighty Undertaker?", Mark frowned and Hunter immediately continued his discussion with the Phenom, knowing Ric was capable of tickling things out of people and Jeff needed to get it out of his system, and the high-flyers answer came rapidly, a little sulky and pouty and an awful lot sad "I didn't beat him", "Are you kidding me", "No, I didn't beat him Ric…", seeing Ric's blue eyes stare at him quizzically he added "I may have won, but I didn't beat him", "Clarify that", "Big Show intervened", "Oh my, kid, no no, no no no, don't you go thinking like that… You delivered a great match Jeff… And it wasn't as if you pinned him after Big Show knocked him out cold, Mark was standing and you brought him down", "After Big Show intervened", "Jeff…", John nudged Jeff, sitting on his other side "It's a win and a beat Hardy… Whether someone intervenes or not, you were the winner, not Mark, not Big Show", and Mike laughed, grinning at Mark "Exactly, you won… You beat the Deadman all by yourself, it was you who pinned him right, I mean, not that you and him aren't used to pinning each other, but…", before he could finish Mark slapped him in the neck and squeezed thightly "Miz… Enough, or I'll pin you tonight", "Hey no no, I'm not swinging that way", the whole table erupted with laughter and John stared at his friend, teasing him "That's not what you said last night Mike", Miz blushed and got up, pretexting a need for drinks…
John got up and followed him, putting an arm around him and whispering "You're awfully cute when you blush and pout", "And you're a real asshole John, thanx for making me sound like a whore", laughing, John started nudging Mike "Hey, I didn't make you look like one, and you know it… I mean just look at Jeff and his nights with Mark or Glen, he doesn't seem to be bothered", "Well Mark and Glen don't go around spilling what they did to him", "I didn't either Mike, I just teased you a little… Hell no one would have interpreted something in it if you hadn't taken off like that", Mike took the bottles, still pouting a little "You will have to go to bed horny tonight", "Uh, and I think you'll change your mind rapidly", he helped Mike with the drinks and sat down with a smirk on his face, Brian immediately asking "So you guys are together? Like a couple?", Mike nearly dropped of his chair, hitting his head on the table "I told you… No one is interested, right John", Jeff was having a laughing fit and hiding his face against Mark who was just shaking his head at Jeff's, Ric's and Hunter's reactions, because Jeff wasn't the only one dying of laughter, Ric nudging Mike and hugging him against himself "Relax, we knew… That doesn't mean we care… It's just Brian who always needs to know everything in detail"
Their bickering took another half hour before they got up to go to bed, Mark having his arm affectionatelly around Jeff and Jeff cuddling against him, Ric had to bite his tongue not to comment Hunter's glare, which was bordering jealous, Jeff didn't notice, too busy with nibbling on Mark's neck and only aggravating Hunter's mood by doing so, Mark stared a little taken aback at him, not sure he understood why his friend was in such a crappy mood all of a sudden "You ok Hunt?", "Yeah… Tired… So good night guys", Ric smirked "Have a good night guys… And Jeff? Don't eat Mark, we'll need him", turning to Mike and John he grinned "Same for you guys… Don't eat each other up ok", Mike pouted a little "There's nothing going on dammit" only to have John nodd amused and pull Mike in an embrace "We will Ric… Sleep thight"
Jeff jumped up on Mark, his arms around the broad neck and mouth biting sweetly on Mark's chin, and the Deadman didn't mind the least, his hands were roaming Jeff's back up and down to come and rest on his perfect butt, making the younger man moan "Hmmm Mark, I love being with you like this", "Don't fall in love with me kid, I'm not doing the love-part so well", "No, you know my heart belongs to someone, but your body…", his mouth nibbled it's way to Mark's throat "I'm addicted to your body Phenom", Mark smiled, and moved them over to the bed "Really? Would be a shame not to give in to that addiction kid" and let Jeff drop on the bed, his eyes roaming his body before he slit over him, capturing his lips…
Luckily for Hunter he didn't have to watch them, but Ric made sure he'd at least think about them "So Paul, what pissed your mood off like that", "Nothing, I'm tired", "Right yeah, tired… You should make Jeff understand you want him, maybe he'd stop hanging with Mark like that", "I don't know what you are talking about Flair", "Oh come on, you know very well what I mean…", "No, and now I'm sleeping", "Well, sweet dreams my friend", Hunter grumbled something and hid his head in the pillow making Ric laugh on his way to the bathroom…
John on the other hand had a moody lover on his hands too, Mike not understanding why he had to screech it over the roofs like that "You had to have them know it right", "Oh come on, you sound like being ashamed to be with me", "No, but why tell them", "They knew", "But not for sure", "So what? At least no one will have the guts to stare at you anymore", "Nobody stared at me before John", John pulled Mike against his chest and kissed him gently "Hey, let me make you smile", "No, no sex tonight…", John's hand roamed southwards and stroked his lover through his pants "Well, I hate to break it to you but your body is not agreeing with you", Mike moaned, amused "Betrayed by my body, great… Lucky me", "I'll make it right my love", "Oh really? Well, then go ahead", John pushed him on the bed and started undressing him, Mike grinning as his lover started to put kisses all the way from his crotch to his mouth…
While Mike and John started their little nightgames, Mark and Jeff were already both undressed, Mark stroking both of their members with one hand and making Jeff moan the sweetest things "Mark… Mark…", he only got a smirk and tried to move but Mark kept him on the bed "Please… I won't last if you continue", "You never last long", "Hey… That's all because of your doings Deadman" and with that Jeff came, howling and moaning and gripping Mark's arm before panting "Bastard", "I see you are very thankful", Jeff pouted amused "I wanted it to last", Mark smirked, not letting go of Jeff's member and squeezing rhythmically "Oh, it will last all night kid", Jeff reversed their positions and lowered his head, grinning "Well, let's see who can last longer old man" and with that his tongue started playing with Mark's piercing before swallowing the pulsing member completely and humming…
Mark laid his head back, letting his hands play with Jeff's hair "Humm, your apology is accepted", Jeff never moved his mouth away from Mark's cock and mumbled "Apology", "Hummm yessssss, yes, for calling me an old man", Jeff chuckled and gently bit his piercing before pulling on it and making Mark lose it… Jeff swallowed 'till the last drop and smirked "Well, you don't last long either", "Bastard", Mark pushed Jeff down and pressed his body against his "Luckily for me you're so hot I'm hard again", Jeff licked his lips "Luckily for you? No, luckily for me Deadman"…
Jeff parted his legs, leaning one on Mark's shoulder and pushing against him "Don't make me wait", "Would never do that Jeff" and he pushed his cock completely into Jeff, immediately pulling back out and powerfully back in, Jeff bucked in rhythm, moaning loudly as Mark became faster and more brutal… And his new pace drove Jeff straight to his second orgasm, his muscles contracting and imprisoning Mark inside, making him come too. He dropped on top of Jeff, panting and smirking when he saw Jeff was already dozing "Youth…", "Hummmm", "Guess I'll let you sleep kid, wouldn't want you to be too exhausted to pin Hunter", "Thanx…", Mark lay down next to Jeff and didn't have to wait for the younger man to cuddle against him "Night Mark", "Night Jeff"
The next morning Jeff was still cuddled in Mark's arms and asleep when a banging sound could be heard, and a less than friendly voice "Get up bro… NOW", Glen was standing behind Matt and had a smirk on his face, imagining both men inside, in bed, naked and cuddled up being awoken like this…
And asleep they were, and it was a very grumpy Deadman who opened the door and glared, first at Matt before lashing out at Glen "That he doesn't have enough decency to wait for us to get up ok, but you bro?", "Sorry, Hardy was too fast for me, couldn't stop him", "Yeah right…" turning back to Matt "Your brother is still asleep, you can kick his ass later" and he closed the door, Jeff smirking "Thanx Mark", "Don't thank me, I did it for me… I'm not done with you and he would have only disturbed"
Glen pulled Matt along to their room, grinning all the time "Oh come on, stop it man, it's not funny", "Yes it is", "No", "Yes", "Glen", "You shouldn't upset me Matt, it will get painful", "Uh, yeah right", while they were discussing and bickering, Mark had covered Jeff and started to kiss him brutally, his hands roaming Jeff's chest and pinching here and there. Jeff moaned, trusting against Mark and trying to bite him in the neck but the Deadman pushed him back down "No Jeff, or do I have to attach you", "Yes please", "You're crazy", he pushed Jeff's legs apart and started to penetrate him, one hand keeping both of Jeff's over his head as he filled him completely "Yessssss Mark", "You feel so good Jeff", Jeff was trying to get him to move but Mark sadistically stayed put, his weight keeping Jeff down "So good", "Mark…", "Hmmmm, yes kid", "Move…", in one quick movement the Undertaker pulled back out and pushed back in, making Jeff moan loudly and trash his head from right to left, pulling on his arms "Oh yes Mark… Again…"
While Jeff and Mark were indulging in each others bodies, Randy was annoyed by Cody and Ted and decided to take a single's room, not only to have his peace but also in case Jeff would decide to give them a go, Shawn and Dave were moving in together in the room across the hallway, they didn't want to wake Ric and Hunter, even though all the Animal wanted to do was to room with the Nature Boy which made Shawn chuckle "You and Ric ha", "No, yes, no, well whenever we are in the same location… We… You know…", "Cool, so Rey…", "There's nothing going on with Rey, Shawn", "Uhu, if you say so, but I don't believe you… You may get Jeff to stop asking you, but you won't get me to shut up", "Whatever…", "Nyan nyan nyan", "You're annoying", "And you're in denial", "No shit Sherlock? I don't think so", "Uhu, let's go and have a drink until lunch"
They met downstairs with Rey and Phil who were rooming together for once, and Glen and Matt followed five minutes later, Rey rolling his eyes at the Big Red Machine "Why don't you ever get lost somewhere", Shawn burst out laughing before slapping Rey on his leg, amused "Hey… Stop it Rey… For once that Glen seemed calm", "Oh I am still very calm, I'll even kick his ass very calmly", "Guys come on"
Mark and Jeff arrived in time for lunch, under the grins and comments from Glen and Shawn, Matt glaring at Jeff and grabbing him to pull him outside, not giving him a chance to bail out "I got you bro", "Oh come on Matt, laugh about it", Matt pinched his younger brother in the arm smirking when he complaint "Ouch, that actually hurt", "Good, my feelings are hurt too", "Oh come on, I thought you'd find it funny… I mean, you were never supposed to see it anyways, so relax", "But I saw it… And I wasn't the only one you little rat", "That's not my fault", "Excuse-me?", "I didn't show everybody Matt, I was here", "I really feel like kicking your ass right now", "Really?", "Really", Matt had Jeff in a thight grip but couldn't stay serious "So how are you doing Picasso?", "I'm very very good…", "Finally accepted that you beat your master and lover", Jeff blushed and pulled a frown "Hey, he ain't my…", "Yeah right…", they got disturbed by Randy who wanted a quick smoke before lunch "Need help Jeff", "No, but a cig would be nice", "Jeff", "What Matt?", "Nothing, I'll go inside, just watch it around him", glaring at Randy "You touch him and I'll kill you, got that", "Uh, I'm scared Matt"
Jeff sat down next to Randy on a bench and stole his cigarette, smirking when Randy shook his head and rolled his eyes "I would have given you one you know", "Yeah, maybe I wanted one your talented mouth already touched", Randy nearly choked and blushed a little "You didn't just say that", "What if I did", he leaned on Jeff and took a puff "Tease", "Uhu, it's so funny with you", "You're a real asshole Hardy", "And that's what you find irresistable about me", "Dream on Jeff", finishing the cigarette Jeff got up "Well, for now I'll go and have lunch, the dreaming may come later", Randy followed him "You're a tease… You're afraid you won't be able of handling me Hardy", "Oh no, I'm afraid your ass won't take it", "Who says you've got to top me", "I do", "Hey, wait…", Randy stopped Jeff and whispered "What if I agree…", "So desperate Randy?", "No, horny", "What about your two buddies", "Ted and Cody? Are you kidding me?", "No, thought you and them…", "Hell no, are you nuts", "Well, some say I am", "Well, I'm on the same floor as you are, so if you're getting lonely…", "I'm rooming with Mark Randy", "Uh, ok, so your sexual appetite is satiated", "I didn't say that Orton", "Well, you do as you wish, but don't come too late I may already be busy…", "Dave is busy with Ric", "Who says I was talking about Dave Jeff"
Matt had kept a spot for Jeff and glared at Randy "Stay away from my brother", "Shut up Hardy", "Relax Matt, we were just talking, he didn't try anything, or he'd be bruised and bloody already", Randy motioned "blabla" with his hands and sat down on another table with Ted and Cody…
They spend the afternoon at the gym, Hunter spending some time in the ring with Jeff and trying to find a way to get him pinned, even if he's real motives were more along the lines of "liking to touch him" or "training him so he stood a chance", Shawn sat in the corner watching over them with Mark standing behind him "He's getting good", "Yes", Hunter threw Jeff on Shawn "Hey", "You're disturbing us you know", "Not true", "Yes"… Time for dinner came pretty quickly, and just as usually they spend the rest of the evening in the pub before calling it a night and moving back to their rooms…
They spend the next day at the gym preparing for their matches, bickering and training, and knowing they had a dinner with the boss at eight they got to their rooms around six, Jeff making puppy eyes at Mark so he'd join him in the shower "No Jeff", "Oh come on Mark", "No sex before dinner", "Pff, old man", "Hey", "What? I know your body wants it", "No, my body wants a bath and some quiet kid", "We can share a bath you know", "Jeff, how come you don't understand the meaning of no", "Humm, I lust after you too much", "Well then go on lusting kid", smirking evily, Mark added "Or go and check on the Legend-killer… Rumours have it that he desires you", "Oh, very funny Mark…", "Not interested?", jumping on the side of the bathtube and grinning, Jeff shook his head "It's not that I'm not interested, I don't know… If the moment was right ok, but joining him in his room… Na, not really what I want", Mark undressed and pushed past Jeff to get in the tube "But joining me in the bathtube that you plan on doing?", "Can I?", "Only if you shut up and relax kid", "I can do that", Jeff was naked in a matter of seconds but before Mark let him get in he grinned "Can you do something for me?", "Everything", "Go and get my cigars and my Whiskey please", , "You're serious?", "Yes punk, I'm very serious… And if you hurry, you may get one too", "A glass or a cigar?"
Jeff swayed his hips all the way to the room leaving Mark in an already horny mood, he really was going to kill him one day, and within two minutes Jeff came back and handed Mark his cigar-box while he filled two glasses "This is so classy you know", "I only do classy things Jeff", "So you consider me classy?", Jeff sat down in the warm water opposite of Mark and put the glasses on the border of the tube before fingering a cigar and lighting it "Uh yes Jeff, you're class impersonated kid", "Yeah, thought so too Taker", Mark grabbed Jeff and made him sit in his lap, one arm around the younger Hardys body, the other holding his cigar "This is nice", "Yeah, really nice… I'm not sure we'll be on time for dinner though", "Oh yes we will, I don't wanna have Vince on my ass kid", "True, Vince isn't as classy as we are"
After a little hour of quiet chilling and dozing Jeff and Mark got out of the bathtube an dried off, Jeff yawning as he sat on his bed "Tired kid?", "Na, just feeling perfect somehow", "Perfect? Wow", "Don't mock me", "I'm not mocking you, I'm glad your back doesn't hurt anymore", stretching, Jeff sighed "Me too", "Then get ready Jeff, Vince will kick your ass if you're late", "Yeah yeah, just a minute", "No, I know your minutes kid"
After dinner they spend another hour bickering and teasing in the pub next to the hotel before going to bed, knowing many of them had matches the next day, Jeff had stared at Hunter all evening long, wondering if he could beat him or not, all he could think about was that it was his last chance to get a shot at the title… At what he desired most… At Hunter too, Jeff hoped that by beating Hunter he could show him he had changed, grown…
Mark pushed him playfully on the bed after staring at Jeff who had been lost in thoughts "Drunk or lost in thoughts", "A little of both", "A good night of sleep and you'll be feeling perfect again", "Yeah… Mark?", "Yes?", "You think I can beat him? Honestly please", Mark sat down next to the younger man and squeezed his knee affectionately "Yes Jeff, I believe you can… And will… If you stay focused", "I'm so nervous Mark", "Relax Jeff, if you start winding yourself up it won't work… You're prepared… You're ready… End of story", "Yeah… I hope you're right", "When did I give you permission to doubt what I say Jeff?", "Never", slapping Jeff's leg as he got up, Mark whispered "Good, don't make me mad then"
They had to take the bus to the arena early next morning, Shawn and Jeff making sure to be on the same one than Matt, Mark, Glen and the others, Hunter was pretty silent all the way, his gaze outside and following the scapes of the city, his mind miles away, and that didn't change through the day, only became worse, especially when Jeff passed him ready to rumble and his facepaint already on…
Hunter felt like reliving the same event over and over again, only Jeff's crazy facepaint differing from show to show, now he knew the kid was eager on getting his paws on the title, but it started becoming absurd on so many levels, he was walking the streets around the arena, getting some fresh air, it must be the closeness to each other on the tour that was starting to make the craziest thoughts come to his mind, thoughts like pressing his body against Jeff's, ravashing that sexy mouth, filling his ass with his cock and fucking him through the mattress, and not only once… He took his cellphone out and hoped his friend would not be chilling, but Shawn was up and answered "What happened? You miss me that bad already… You've been gone for ten minutes", "Quit being an ass Shawn", "Ouch, what is going on Hunt?", "I don't know, I've been having weird urges"
"Uhu, Jeff got to you ha… Don't despair, it was only a matter of time for you to realize it too", "What too?", it wasn't as if Shawn hadn't told his longtime friend more than once, he just had kept it to a strict minimum since Jeff had come back, knowing Hunter wasn't ready, but know it just had to be said and he did, with a huge smirk and an amused voice "That you're head over heels into him", and he didn't wait long for an answer, Hunter immediately objecting "Am not", "Are sooo Hunt, please, glad you finally know", "I know he's cute and gorgeous and that I want to fuck him, that doesn't mean I'm in love with him", "Quit the crap Hunt, you know you want him to be yours, and yours alone, and that for a long time", there was a lengthy silence before Shawn could hear a sigh and Hunter's voice "Yeah, ok, I'll admit, but who can give me the certainty that he won't fuck up again ha? He has dissappointed me often enough", "Come on Hunt, he's ok… And if he could be with you it would mend all of his scars and chase all of his remaining demons away… Mark can only do so much, it's you who can make him whole again", Hunter sighed "Michaels the philosopher", "Well, you've got a match against him tonight, and as I heard you trained with him, so are you ready to lose", "I won't lose Shawn", "Well, don't be so sure about that Hunt, he's ready and already heating up", "Pfff, he can heat up as much as he likes, he won't beat me, he's not ready yet", "Well, we'll see"
Mark caught Jeff before he had to go to the ring and pulled him into an embrace, whispering "You can do it Jeff, all you have to think about is that you can… You're ready to beat him", "Mark… I…", "Sshhh, I don't want to hear anything, you just go out there and do your job, kid… And watch your back… Hunter isn't Brian or Montel", "Yeah, I know… I just can't believe I can beat him", "You can Jeff, and you will… Or I'll spank you", "Well that may make me wanna lose", "Ok, no more sex if you don't beat him in that case… And just so you know, I'll tell Glen to tell you the same", "Well, I got a proposition from Randy, so…", "Uh, Orton ha… Well, losing and having to lay Randy, ain't that double punishment", "Oh come on, he's not so bad", "Uhu, if you think so…"
Jeff made his way to the ring first, Hunter standing backstage with Mark and an evily grinning Shawn "Good match Hunter…", "I'm not scared, he should be", "I didn't say anything about fear, I was wishing you a good match you know", Hunter shook his head "I will have a good match", "Well then good", at least Shawn was quite amused about Hunter's sudden weird mood…
Jeff stared at Hunter, both of his arms around the ropes and stretching his back, his mind only on beating him and showing him that he was a worthy opponent and capable of beating him, their eyes locked and Jeff suppressed the urge to drool and admire the man in front of him, his inner mantra was focus, keep focused, keep focused, Hunter on the other hand was staring him down, wondering if today was the day or if Jeff was going to hand him his ass on a silver platter again…
But Jeff wasn't stupid, he had it all planned out in his mind and extended his arm, waiting for Hunter to accept it and shake his hand and the second he did he knew the little bastard had played him, he saw a flicker of mischief and pride in Jeff's eyes and wasn't quick enough to avade the kick Jeff served him, and he immediately continued by throwing punches at him… A couple of reversals happened, leaving the guys in front of the screen whistling and screaming, Matt wincing when his brother landed on his back "He could watch it for once", "He did and nicely countered Hunter on that one", "I also saw him fly through the air Shawn, so what the fuck does he think he's doing", the only one watching the match silently was Mark, following every move both men were doing…
Jeff continued pouncing on Hunter, not giving him a second to regain himself, he knew the moment he'd give him the opportunity to strike back he'd have lost. Unfortunately for Jeff Hunter rolled out of the ring, his last resort to get out of his hands and assaults and caught his breath, but Jeff wasn't about to let him do anything more and jumped him from the ring, throwing the bigger man on the floor and ignoring how nice it felt to feel his skin… Hunter got up, mad at himself for having let Jeff start like that and giving the pace, but before he actually could do something against it Jeff pushed him back in the ring, and nicely evaded his next attack, throwing Hunter on his back and quickly went for the pin, smirking "Not looking so fresh Hunter ha", Hunter had to hand him that he had the nerv to taunt him in the ring like that and bucked, mumbling "Screw you Hardy", Jeff continued his attacks and whenever he was close to him whispered teasingly, he really started to believe he could beat him and was tiring the bigger guy the best he could…
Mark was watching the match impassibly, his elbows resting on his legs and his head resting on his joined hands, his green eyes didn't divert from the screen, even as Shawn grinned "The master is happy his little disciple makes it so hard for Hunter", he just answered "I am… But the match ain't over yet", and he was right, in the ring Hunter had finally managed to move when Jeff was least expecting it, leaving Jeff panting on his hurting back and trying to catch his breath, Hunter didn't let him and grabbed him, trying to get him positioned for his Pedigree but Jeff wiggled free and countered, sending Hunter into the corner and waiting for him to drop down, Jeff got up on the turnbuckle, but Hunter got up to quickly and he knew he only had one option if he wanted to win and jumped back down, not willing to let Hunter push him down…
Jeff's next leap was avoided by Hunter and he flew royally out of the ring, landing hard and the air knocked out of him. Luckily he could catch his breath a little since Hunter was laying inside the ring catching his too… When Jeff wanted to get back in the ring, the Game didn't play anymore and grabbed him, hitting his head on the turnbuckle and not even watching him tumble back outside, backstage Matt winced and got up, mumbling something about a drink he needed, he nearly felt sick watching his brother getting manhandled like that, especially from the man he secretely was in love with and he somehow couldn't believe Hunter would hurt his brother like that so he needed to cool down a little, Shawn not commenting and punching Orton when he saw him ready to say something "Don't you dare", "Oh come on Shawn", "I said don't… Let him be…"
Hunter got Jeff back in and lifted him by the hair, whispering "Your luck streak is over brat" and he punched him hard before throwing him with all his strength into the corner, making Jeff land so hard on his back it even made Mark wince, Shawn mumbling "Yeah, payback's a bitch", "Hunter is destroying him now", "Well, he did destroy him for the last minutes, only normal that he retaliates", while Jeff was on the floor trying to get his senses right, Hunter was deeply inhaling and exhaling, amazed at what Jeff was ready to give to beat him, after a couple of seconds he grabbed Jeff by the hair again, and mad at his own feelings he whispered "I'm going to bury your ass Jeff" and projected him into the corner again, putting all of his strength in as to hurt him as much as he could and immediately pinning him again, whispering "Sorry kid, but you're not r…", Jeff bucked out "Yes I am"
Hunter had enough of playing around and delivered a backbreaker, knowing it was Jeff's weak spot and tried another pin that didn't succeed either, they continued punching each other, Hunter getting Jeff back up and continuing his assaults on his back "Give up Jeff", "Fuck you", Jeff mastered all of his strength up and punched him, detaching himself from Hunter the second he could, unfortunately Hunter got him back into the stretch "You're not going anywhere kid, only down", "Asshole", Jeff's hand was roaming Hunter's thigh so he could get a little balance back and get less pressure on his back, and he had to admit it was nice touching him like that, even if he was pretty mad that Hunter was going all the way with him, Hunter on the other hand enjoyed it doubly, first he had Jeff in an abdominal stretch and second that hand was feeling quite arousing, but he pushed all of those feelings back and applied a little more pressure, resting his arm casually on Jeff's hip… The only thing making it bearable for Jeff was the fact he was flexible, even if his back was protesting a lot, and he knew he had to reverse the situation and quickly…
He didn't manage and poor Matt coming back had to witness his brother going down hard, Orton chuckling before Shawn could shut him up this time "Yeah, you came back to witness the best… Good timing Matt", Shawn shook his head but was too concentrated on the match to say something this time, Jeff was on the floor and Hunter was going for another pin, one hand on Jeff's butt to keep him still, and he couldn't keep back from groping a little, shamlessly using the moment and making Jeff feel all weird, but nevertheless he bucked out, realizing he had enjoyed the moment a little too much for his own good, he found himself pulled up by Hunter but immediately countered, sending Hunter on his back, behind Mark Darren acknowledged the move "Pretty… You were right Mark, the kid really is unique and very talented…", Mark nodded but never took his eyes from the screen, where Jeff was up first but also on the receiving end of a spinebuster delivered Game-style, hard, brutal and painful, Randy whistled "He just got him nailed", "Hey, shut up asshole", "Relax Matt, you're brother is tougher than that", "You have to know, he beat you often enough", "Ouch, that hurt Hardy", "Glad it did"
Hunter waited for Jeff to start moving again and decided it was enough, he didn't want to have to destroy him completely and went for a Pedigree, but Jeff willed his last ressources up and threw him over his shoulder, needing to catch his breath after the move that made Matt jump up and scream "Yes", and Jeff wasn't done, a first then a second Whisper in the Wind hit Hunter and made him realize for the first time that evening that he wasn't sure if he would win… Jeff was pushing both of them over the limits and had managed to attack him nicely, without making mistakes and letting him gain the upper hand, Hunter damned himself that he had spared with him all through the week as he felt Jeff cover and pin him, he bucked out "Oh no Hardy, no chance…", it only fueled Jeff more who started punching him like a madman before he found himself thrown into the cords…
All he could think of was not to let Hunter win again and he managed to get him on the mat again, but Hunter wasn't ready to let him have his victory and bucked out "Forget it Jeff, it won't work", but Jeff was unfuzzed and just continued to focus on what he had learned over the week, slowly working through Hunter's defenses and strength, relentlessly assaulting him and trying another pin Hunter could get out of, Jeff was starting to get desperate and used his whole strength on the next move, making Hunter fly out of the ring… They both needed a moment to catch their breaths, Jeff rolling out of the ring and hitting Hunter's head on the announcer table and the Game moving quickly back in the ring before he could do it again, and luckily for him, Hunter saw the Twist of Faith come and avoided it, whispering "Oh no you don't" before Jeff reversed the situation again and got him on the floor, his next move was crystal clear to everybody, including Hunter, and Jeff landed hard on his back after the Game had rolled himself away when he saw the Swanton that was about to hit him…
Both men were winding on the floor when suddenly Kozlov made his way to the ring, Glen rumbled "He's so dead", and Mark hoped they would notice, it was Hunter who did first and greeted him with a punch even before he could get in the ring, noticing Jeff was up already too, he ducked and Jeff flew over the third rope, landing on Kozlov and taking the bigger man down…
Jeff got up and was brought back in the ring by Hunter, but managed to land behind him and rolled him up for a pin, he put his whole weight on Hunter to keep him down, and then he had him… Jeff couldn't believe it when he heard the three-count and the bell ring, neither did Hunter, who stared at him panting while the referee raised Jeff's shaky hand…
Backstage Matt was extatic, and he wasn't the only one, Shawn laughed, glad Jeff had managed to get a win over Hunter, it was long overdue, and Mark's fast beating heart came back to a regular beat, he had been suffering with both men all through the match and was content that Jeff had stayed focused, no one noticed Kozlov passing by them on the way to make them both pay…
Hunter just stared at Jeff who locked eyes with him and gladly accepted his hand to shake it, but before they could say something Kozlov made sure they both ended on the floor, putting his focus on Hunter. Jeff caught his breath and stopped him from continuing pounding on Hunter, unfortunately the Mauler caught him and threw him on his back, just as he did with the Game when he tried it again… Glen was playing with his fist, and Mark glared daggers, the only one finding it amusing was a passing Jericho "Oh, rockstar baby and gamie-boy down? How devastating…", before he could add anything more he was tackled by both Shawn and Matt, Shawn grabbing him by the throat "You stupid asshole, I should shove my fist down your throat", seeing Mark frown Glen and Dave got up and pulled the two men off of Chris "Not here guys… You'll get him…", "Sorry, but he needed it immediately", "I will complain to Vince about that"
Hunter had helped Jeff backstage, well they helped each other in some way, both clinging to each other and Hunter pushing away his protective ways to just pull Jeff to the medics to get checked, both were pretty battered, bruised and exhausted, anger pushing them, and his first words were adressed to Chris who he had heard "complaining" "You complain about whatever you like asshole…", he turned to Mark, ignoring a pissed off Jericho "… Where's that Russian ass?", "Guys come on…", Jeff spat "Where is he?", "Left guys… Seems you'll have to wait a week before getting your hands on him", Jeff leaned against Hunter who had an arm around the smaller man in a tender hugg, Matt not so inclined on having to see the next man with his brother grabbed Jeff's arm and pulled him, well tried to pull him away anyways but Jeff resisted, first of all he had been nicely cuddled against Hunter, and second his body ached at even the slighest movement, and moving was something Matt tried very hard for him to do "Ouch Matt, stop it", "Come on Jeff, I'll help you to the medics", "I'm ok Matt, stop pulling me like that", Hunter positionned himself between the two brothers, keeping a firm grip on Jeff "I'll take him Matt, I want them to check my knee anyways", "So? Let me help you", "It's ok Matt", seeing the way Jeff started pouting, seeing how Hunter was reacting and not letting go of the younger Hardy, Shawn pulled Matt along "Let's go and have a drink Matt, they'll be ready soon enough"
Hunter was silent all the way to the medics, and even when they started working on them he just kept his gaze on Jeff who was spread out on his chest and had a hard time not blushing with the Game staring at him like that "You ok Hunter?", "Yes", "Why are you staring at me like that", his face staying impassible he shook his head, sighing "You won, you little runt", after a little silence, Jeff nodded "Yes", "Not bad, you showed that you are ready and that Mark was right", "With?", "Helping you", "You helped me too you know, if it hadn't been with the hours you spend training with me…", "Yeah, ultimately I'm an idiot and handed you're my ass on a silver platter", Jeff grinned, the painkillers kicking in and his headache slowly evaporating "Yeah", Hunter got up and stretched a little "Watch it kid", "Well, I just agreed with you", "Punk", "Nope, I'm not straight-edge", "Luckily, two nerds in this company would be too much to take", "That was mean", "He's not here, so what harm's done", there was a deep chuckle "Well, you telling Jeff that he should do drugs again maybe Hunt"
Mark waited for them to get finished, glad he had taken that initiative because the first thing he had had to do was chase Kozlov away who had been waiting for the two to get out of the infirmary, he was more than content that Jeff had won, his work finally started to pay off and he had to admit he was more than proud "Magnificent match guys…", "Thanx", "That runt won", "Yeah, welcome to the club Paul, welcome to the club", "But you won't win Sunday Jeff", Jeff glided off the bench, smirking "Oh yes I will, now that I'm fueled…", "Little punk", "Don't call me nerd"
Their flight was leaving in the afternoon so they decided to have themselves a night out, dinner plus pub, and later a club, Dave was talking with Ric and Randy was standing next to them and tried to order something when he felt a heatsource wrap around him from behind "Can you get me some Vodka", "I could get you something better", "Not here, what would all the drooling chicks say if they saw us do things here", "Well it doesn't seem to bother Dave and Ric", Flair turned, a frown on his face when he saw Jeff attached to Randy "No more alcohol for you Hardy, you're already way too close to Randy", "Jealous old man", "Jealous? No, only knowing what he'll get if he nails you, and that ain't much", Randy paled and tensed, Jeff moving a little back by reflexe, he didn't want to get in the middle of them "Uh, I'll get my Vodka somewhere else"… To his own amazement a glass was handed to him by a widely smirking Dave "Ignore them… Randy and Ric are very special… A little bit like you and him", "Uh", "What Hardy? I'm not the only one finding it more than weird that you and him whisper and talk without tearing each other apart", "Whatever Dave… And thanx"
Jeff went back to the table he was sitting at with Mark, Glen, Shawn, Hunter, Matt and Kendrick, whispering the second he got there in Mark's ear "What's that with Flair and Randy Mark?", "None of your business Jeff", "Please?", "No, and I would suggest you keep it at that", "Pff, not cool, you know someone will tell me", "Jeff, not everything has to be known you know", "Yeah yeah yeah", "And don't drink so much after the pills kid", Jeff struck his tongue out and took a sip of Vodka "Of course not"…
The sun had dawned before they got back to the hotel, all knowing they would have a long day ahead but quite happy… Jeff was asleep when Mark got out of the bathroom and didn't notice the tender kiss on his forehead and Mark's whisper "You made me proud Jeff, and I'm pretty sure you'll get that title soon" before the Deadman lay on his own bed and followed him into dreamland…
