Found Out

"What the hell was that?" Punk shook his head, visiting AJ the next morning at her house where she was getting ready for work, "I don't wanna spend more time with him. I wanted to tell him that I'm spending more time with you."

"I panicked." AJ shook her head, making herself coffee in the kitchen as he stood by the door.

"Yeah, obviously." Punk said, "I would have told him. If anything, it's me who is gonna get the most shit." He nodded.

"Not necessarily. He probably expects something like this from you." AJ shrugged.

"Thanks." Punk nodded sarcastically, "But not you, because you're an angel, right?"

"Oh, thank you." AJ smiled to him as he rolled his eyes, "I just panicked, I thought about him kicking off and yelling at us and being upset and I just… I didn't want to see that." AJ frowned.

"And you think I want to see that?" Punk asked her, "I don't know why people think I hate my brother? I love my brother." Punk said, "And knowing that I've pissed him off, knowing that me and you being together is gonna hurt him… it fucking sucks." Punk told her truthfully as AJ looked across at him, "I'm terrified to tell him but… I'm not gonna hide the fact I'm in love with you." He shook his head as AJ smiled softly.

"I don't want to either." AJ nodded, "I don't know what came over me." She sighed, sitting her coffee down and walking across to him, "I just don't want anything to change between me and him. He's my best friend. I grew up in a really horrible home." She said as Punk nodded, "And Seth was there for me. He gave me the hope and the love, the encouragement that my parents never gave me." AJ said, "So to upset him and hurt him… it's not something I want to do." AJ shook her head.

"Yeah, I've been with the guy since I was five." Punk nodded, "I really don't want to hurt him either." Punk assured her, "But he has to know about this. It's only gonna hurt him more. Once he gets over it, he might be happy for us."

"Do you really think so?" AJ asked him.

"Well I'm not sure." Punk told her honestly, "But when he sees that we're legit and we're not just fooling around, he can't criticize anything. I certainly won't apologise for feeling the way I do about you." He said as AJ nodded and smiled.

"And I won't either." AJ nodded, "Just, give it another couple days and I'll prepare myself properly." AJ said as he nodded, "I'm sorry you couldn't stay last night. I missed you." She frowned, cupping his cheeks.

"Yeah, I missed you." Punk sighed, "Did you sleep ok?" He asked her, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Not particularly." AJ shook her head, "I kept waking up. I really wish I could just clear my brain of all the stuff that happened." She sighed as Punk nodded, "How do you do it?"

"Do what?" Punk asked her as she sat down at the table to have her coffee.

"Well you're a cop. You must see a lot of awful things all the time." AJ said, "How do you move on from it?"

"Well, yeah I see a lot of scary things but none of them personally happen to me like it did for you." He said, "You were targeted. That's gotta be scary and it's obviously gonna leave a scar." He nodded, "It's just gonna take some time to work through it."

"Yeah." AJ nodded, "It's just hard to believe it's over. I feel like I gotta keep checking over my shoulder." She shook her head.

"That'll fade with time." Punk nodded, "And you're safe. That guy really can't hurt you anymore. We know that." He said as she nodded, "If there's anything me and you gotta be scared about, it's Seth." He said as AJ laughed a little and nodded.

"Yeah, that'll keep my mind busy for now." AJ nodded, "I uh… I think I got some time to spare before I gotta leave for work." AJ said, standing up and walking towards him.

"Oh, yeah?" Punk smiled.

"Yeah." AJ nodded, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately as he kissed back, picking her up and sitting her on the kitchen table as she smiled, feeling him kiss down her neck and pushing her pants down whilst she fiddled with his belt, "Wow, you're already-"

"You're dressed as a nurse. What do you expect?" Punk asked as she chuckled, feeling him hard through his pants.

"I'm not dressed as a nurse. I am a nurse." AJ laughed.

"A fine nurse." Punk smirked, kissing down her neck and throat as she moaned, rolling her head back as she felt him dip his hand inside her panties, moaning to herself at the feeling.

"Mmm, that feels so good." AJ moaned softly as Punk smiled, nudging her neck as he shimmied his boxers down a little and thrust into her, "Fuck, I love that feeling." AJ moaned. She felt so much relief when she took him inside of her, like her body really craved it.

"Yeah?" Punk smirked, tilting her chin up as he kissed down her throat, "You like that cock inside you?" He nodded, watching her closely as she bit her lip and nodded.

"Oh, yeah." AJ moaned, looking up at him, "I love it so much." She moaned as he smiled, kissing her roughly as he continued to thrust inside of her, neither one of them aware of the front door opening, which give a pretty clear view into the open kitchen.

"AJ? You wanna go grab-" Seth immediately paused as he noticed what was going on in the kitchen, getting a pretty clear view of it, not knowing how to digest the sight, "What the fuck?!" He yelled loudly, which was the only thing that really came to his mouth.

"Oh my God." AJ turned around as Punk raised his eyebrows.

"Jesus Christ." Punk shook his head, pulling out of AJ and backing away into the corner of the kitchen whilst AJ did the same in order to adjust her clothes and put them back on.

"What the fuck?!" Seth yelled again, turning around, feeling exposed to such an unnatural image. He felt like his brain couldn't quite understand what he had just seen with his own eyes.

"Seth, wait a minute." AJ shook her head, fixing her clothes, looking over at Punk with so much worry on his face whilst Punk stood in the corner of the kitchen, terrified to show his face.

"What-What the hell are you two doing?!" Seth yelled angrily as AJ ran out of the kitchen.

"Hey, I'm sorry you… you had to see that." AJ shook her head as Seth turned around.

"I… what… what is going on? Why are you screwing my brother?" Seth asked, horrified. He didn't even know what to ask, he didn't know what to think of any of this. He was so disturbed that he couldn't find anything reasonable to say.

"We… We were going to talk to you-"

"Phil!" Seth yelled angrily, charging ahead for the kitchen.

"Hey, no… none of that." AJ kept Seth back.

"Take your hands off me." Seth stepped back, "What the fuck, April?" Seth shook his head, "W-What… what the fuck…" He shook his head, backing away to the door.

"Wait, Seth… please let us explain." AJ shook her head, watching as Seth quickly left out of the door, placing her hand on her forehead and sighing. This was exactly what she didn't want to happen.

"Is he gone?" Punk asked from behind the kitchen door.

"Yeah." AJ shook her head, watching as Punk walked out from behind the door, "I can't believe he just… saw that." AJ shook her head, running her hand through her hair, "What are we going to do?" AJ asked him. Seeing the look of shock and horror on Seth's face was exactly what she was afraid of.

"Just… let him calm down, let him digest it and… and we'll talk to him later. Just go to work and it'll be fine." Punk assured her as AJ sighed.

"You didn't see the look on his face." AJ shook her head.

"No, but I heard him." Punk nodded, "We probably should have just told him last night… would have prevented him from seeing it in action." Punk shook his head.

"Yeah, ok. I know that now." AJ shook her head.

"Why does he just walk into your house anyway?" Punk questioned.

"Because we've always done that." AJ shrugged, "Oh my God, I can't… I can't believe he just saw us like that." AJ shook her head, placing her hand on her chest.

"Just… get ready to go to work and we'll figure it out later, ok?" He nodded, "It'll be fine."

"Ok." AJ sighed.

Punk eventually left AJ's house, knowing how much she was kicking herself for what just happened. He hated to see her blame herself for this, he hated to see them squirm at the thought of Seth's opinions. He knew they should have told him right away but he figured he would visit his brother first to try and straighten things out with him.

He pulled up at the garage his brother worked at, getting out of the car and immediately getting tackled to the ground, followed by a punch to his face. He grabbed Seth by the throat and rolled him over, hovering over on top of him.

"Quit it!" Punk yelled angrily as Seth looked up at him, trying to get out of his brother's grips, "Just calm yourself down!" Punk said firmly, "We're not fighting over this." He made clear.

"Get off of me!" Seth pushed him away as Punk got to his feet, wiping his bloody nose as Seth stood up, "I hate you, you know that?" Seth nodded.

"No you don't, Seth. You don't hate me." Punk shook his head.

"No, actually. I do." Seth shook his head, "So much." He nodded, "She was the one thing in my life that you couldn't ruin-"

"What the hell does that mean?" Punk shook his head.

"She's my best friend and now you're turning her into one of your little fuck buddies, and then you're gonna hurt her-"

"Hey, man. I love her." Punk shook his head as Seth looked across at him, "I swear to you, I love that girl." Punk nodded, "And she loves me."

"What?" Seth screwed his eyes up, not understanding what was going on, "Wait a minute…" He paused, "How… how long have you been screwing?"

"N-Not long." Punk shook his head.

"How long?!"

"A couple weeks." Punk shrugged, feeling Seth punch him on the face again, "Quit hitting me!" Punk yelled angrily whilst some of the guys in the garage looked over, "This isn't some fling, alright?"

"You expect me to believe that? This is you we're talking about." Seth shook his head, "And she's vulnerable right now, and she's scared, and you're the bastard taking advantage of that-"

"No, I'm not." Punk made clear, "I spent a lot of time with AJ over the couple months. I got know her. A lot." He said, "And she… she got to know me. We're not messing around here, Seth." Punk said, "She's so damn frightened to tell you about this that she literally couldn't bring herself to tell you."

"Just get the fuck away from me." Seth shook his head.

"I'm not gonna hurt her. I know you care about her. I know she's your best friend." Punk nodded, "But I love her."

"You don't love her." Seth shook his head.

"Don't tell me how I feel." Punk walked closer to Seth, "I know how I feel. I know I love her. We're taking this seriously, alright? And we wanted to tell you sooner but this was exactly what we were afraid of…"

"You know you… you just can't leave things alone, can you?" Seth shook his head, "You have no respect for anyone. She is my best friend and you're… you're just gonna hurt her." He said as Punk shook his head.

"I'm not gonna hurt her, Seth. I care about her. You'll see that I do-"

"I won't see shit." Seth spat, "Literally just get out of my sight." Seth nodded as Punk looked across at him.

"Well if you're angry I'd rather you take it out on me and not her." Punk said.

"Oh, well I kinda expect something like this from you, imagine how I feel about her right now." Seth said, "I don't want to see either of you. Just… get away from me." He shook his head as Punk put his hands up and nodded. He knew his brother needed space. He could see how angry he was and he knew that whatever he was saying wasn't even being digested by him.

He nodded to Seth and walked back to his car, getting in and driving off whilst Seth stood on the sidewalk, completely taken back by this entire situation.
