Dolph is in the living room. Zack is in the bedroom, half-watching Raw when it happens. Cena wins the handicap match that means Dolph, Ryback and Rowan all will be rehired. He swallows and sits up, waiting for a 'but', or a 'although', some sort of thing that would make this more of a curse than a blessing, but nothing comes of it. HHH throwing a fit to end the show tells him all he needs to know about how things are going to play out.

Zack quickly scrambles out of bed and rushes into the living room, wrapping his arms around Dolph's waist and kissing his neck lazily until the game goes to commercial and Dolph turns, wraps an arm around Zack's midsection and draws him in closer, their lips meeting in a slow, simple kiss. "What're you doing out here, kid? Raw's not over yet, is it?" Dolph murmurs, parting his lips with his thumb and kissing him again, Zack left breathless as they all but melt into each other.

"Actually, yeah it is," Zack exclaims once he can speak. "Just- just, uh. You're missing it, bro, Cena won this match that Stephanie put him in with your jobs on the line," he stammers out, barely able to get the words out as Dolph continues trying to kiss him. "You've got your job back, bro!"

Dolph freezes, eyes locked on Zack's face. "What?"

"You heard me," Zack laughs, rubbing Dolph's shoulder. "Cena beat Rollins, Big Show and Kane. Bro, this means when I'm cleared to compete again, we won't be separated!"

Dolph sits there quietly for a few moments, too lost in conflicted thoughts to really digest Zack's touch, his words. Of course Cena would be the savior... but yet... but yet. Exhaling, Dolph tips over and rests his head on Zack's arm, closing his eyes. "God," he exhales. "I thought... I thought this was it for me." He squeezes Zack's nearest hand and lifts it up, kissing his palm. "I would've missed traveling with you. Wrestling, hearing the crowd. Just... all of it. So much."

Zack nods, smiling a little as he rubs soothingly up and down Dolph's back. "Well, thankfully, we didn't get there. You're fine, you're good. I'll be back soon, and things'll return to normal. Or wrestling's equivilence of it anyway."

Dolph laughs. Sits up and cups Zack's face, kissing him slowly. "Thank you for being patient with me these last few weeks, kid. I know I've kinda been awful to be around, but you've been... you've been amazing, as always. I'd be lost without you, you know?"

Zack hums, tilting forward to chase his lips when Dolph pulls back. "Feeling's mutual," he mumbles, finding his mark and resuming kissing Dolph. "Considering how you've been by my side since I wrecked my arm, this is... the least I could do."

Dolph grins, cupping Zack's face so he can kiss him easier.
