In an old motel room, Randy Orton just got out of the shower to leave the bathroom with a towel around his waist. He went over to his bed to decide on what he should wear or his first ever date with Jeff. The motel room's door opening made him aware of his forced roommate and travel companion John Cena's return.

"I need you to wingman me." John said to the other.

"Not happening ever. Tonight is my first date with Jeff."

"Can't believe you're giving up a chance with a supermodel look alike for Jeff Hardy who is basically like dating a girl. This relationship shouldn't even be considered a gay one." John lectures as he plops down on his bed closest to the door. "Tell me at least getting in Hardy's pants after the date."

"I'm not rushing Jeff into that. Look I want this to work between Jeff and me."

"Where are you even taking him since you may be twenty-one, but he's not yet."

"There's this place that looks like a cool one and I hope Jeff likes it there."

"Whatever." Cena mumbles.

Randy decides to wear a pair of jeans with a light blue short sleeve dress shirt. He wants to look good for Jeff, but not be too overdressed for the date. Once done with getting ready, Randy snatched his wallet and car keys off the nightstand beside his bed. A snort came from Cena over something on the man's laptop and Randy raised an eyebrow at him.

"Did you see last night's Smackdown?"

"No." Randy said with a confused look.

"Looks like Undertaker was chasing Austin with a chair, punching Vince McMahon out cold, and some other things."

"I'm not involved in it so doesn't concern me."

Randy then walked out of the room to his parked car and got behind the wheel to drive to the hotel the WWF was staying in. After parking his car, Randy casually walked inside to take the elevator up to the floor Jeff's room was on. He had just taken a step off the elevator when Jay and Adam rushed pass with clothes in their arms. Not wanting to know what the two guys were up to, Randy walked to the door of Jeff's room that he knocked on. Right as the door was opening, Kurt stumble ran through the hallway in only a towel and screaming for Adam and Jay to get their asses back with his clothes.

"What do you want?"

In the now open doorway was Mark with a long chain draped on his neck and the boy could tell the man wasn't in a great mood. Randy tried to not gulp at the sight of the chain that the man wore like a precious piece of jewelry.

"I'm here to pick up Jeff."

"Oh, yes for the date between you two kids." Mark said in a clearly unamused tone and saw Angle in the towel pounding on a door. "Put some damn clothes on Angle. If you drop that towel and something in unveiled, I'm kicking your ass."

"Adam and Jay stole my clothes." Kurt complained to the deadman.

"Stop annoying them then." was Mark's response before his attention when back to Randy. "You better behave yourself with my nephew or else."

The boy's eyes went on the chain at the mention of else by the tall man. Randy was relieved that Jeff finally appeared in sight and Mark's face seemed to soften a little. Jeff wore a long sleeve shirt with a pair of torn light blue jeans with his purple hair pinned up.

"Bye Taker."

"See you-Angle, I warned you about that towel falling and what will happen."

A shake of the head came from Jeff as he led Randy to the stairwell for them to take down to the lobby. He noticed Randy's eyes had trailed over him before in the doorway of his hotel room. The two got outside and Randy moved to open the car door for Jeff to get in.

"You are a real gentleman."

"I'm raised by a cowboy and cowboys believe in being gentlemen to those they court."

Once Jeff was set in the car, Randy moved to the other side to get behind the wheel. He drives out of the parking lot as Austin walked by with a bandage over an eye. Jeff gave Randy a look that said he's best with not knowing why the man has the bandage. Soon they get to the restaurant to have to park no where close to the doors.

"Good thing I made reservations." Randy said at seeing the people waiting.

They enter through the main door with Randy giving the host his last name that the reservation had been made under. He follows the host to their reserved table and Jeff is looking around the place as they sit down across from each other. It isn't long before a waitress comes to the table to take their drink orders of simple sodas.

"I'm sorry about Taker answering the door with the chain." Jeff has a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

"Don't worry about it."

At their drinks arriving, both of them ordered their meals and Randy can't seem to take his eyes off Jeff. He wonders how lucky he is to have met him at Mania eight and reunite months ago along with given this chance to try making something for the two of them. Randy's order of steak tacos come while Jeff digs into his large garden salad with pleasure and a raised eyebrow comes from the larger boy.

"You could have had anything off the menu and you are satisfied with a salad. I can't even be satisfied with one as a side to my meal."

"I ate bad last night and really need to watch what I eat to keep myself from going off my average weight." Jeff explains as he stabs some lettuce with his fork.

"Average weight? When I met you nine years ago, you were thin and trust me I think you're hotter than most of the women on the roster."

"Thanks." Jeff tried to not blush. "In my mind, it isn't easy to stand against guys more than twice my size and wrestle them. I do it though and I'm good at it. People look at me and see this boy who looks so much like a girl and trust me it has caused some hardships."

"Never change yourself for someone." Randy leans forward to touch Jeff's wrist and then smiles over something. "Maybe your hair color to match my trunks when I arrive on the main roster."

"What color do you like your trunks?" Jeff asked finding his comment amusing.

"Not sure yet. Every color seems to look good on you though."

Jeff couldn't stop himself from blushing at that compliment and he has to look at his salad to try hiding it. He realizes that Randy still has the hand on his wrist and has no want to make the other boy stop touching him. This date was not like any of the others Jeff has had with local North Carolina guys and Randy has been so polite to him with words that didn't at all hint at any plans to push Jeff to sleep with him.

"So I'm curious if Taker expects you home at a certain time."

"I think he trust me to take care of myself and the chain does give a little assurance to him that he expects you to not try anything."

When they finished their meals, Randy paid the bill before they walked back to the car and Randy saw Jeff watching the buildings they passed on the drive to the hotel. The two boys instead of heading inside went for a small walk down the sidewalk to keep the date going and Jeff notices Randy deciding on whether to hold his hand or not due to not wanting to be too pushy. Jeff makes the decision for him and takes Randy's hand to walk close to his side with Randy smiling down at him.

"You think one day we'll verse each other?" Randy asked.

"Maybe." Jeff shrugged as he looked up at the night sky filled with stars.

"You okay?"

"Just tired after getting beat by Triple H last night. All Taker did with chasing Austin was distract Triple H a little bit, but it wasn't enough to get me a pin."

"You're a great wrestler. One day you'll beat him."

"Yeah."

"I have a question about Taker and all this dark stuff related to him. How much of it is actually real?"

"That's a company secret and trust me with not wanting to know." Jeff smiled as he walked over to a fountain.

"What are you doing?" Randy asked as Jeff got on the fountain to start walking on it with perfect balance.

"You can never understand things without looking at it through the eyes of those experiencing it." Jeff said as he didn't even look at Randy and notice the other get on the fountain stones to walk over to him.

"So I need to get in the head of Undertaker to know the answers to my questions of curiosity." Randy snatches Jeff around the waist to be looking into his eyes.

"No one should try getting into the head of Taker. He likes to keep his life guarded and I guess it also means to guard those he loves."

"Can't blame him for that. One thing he loves is worth protecting from anyone who would try to harm it." Randy takes Jeff hand to entwine their fingers together not far from their faces.

Slowly the two lean in for them to begin kissing and their fingers stay entwined the whole time with Randy's other hand resting on Jeff's check. A strong shove has the two falling into the fountain with Randy pulling Jeff close to have it where he wouldn't get hurt. When both now dripping wet boys sat up in the fountain, they see John Cena standing there laughing his butt off over what's done. A glare is sent at Cena by Randy as he stands up to then help Jeff up who is trying to get soaked hair out of his eyes.

"Now we know Hardy isn't a witch since he didn't melt." Cena slurred showing that he was clearly drunk.

Randy helped Jeff out of the fountain and then tried to figure out what he was going to do as revenge for what the larger boy has done. He sees black lines running down Jeff's cheeks from under his eyes and the smaller wipes at them with his sleeve.

"He wears makeup too. Are you sure this one isn't a girl?" Cena asked and Randy ignored him while focusing on Jeff.

"You okay?" Randy asked to have Jeff nod back while trying to get the eyeliner he had been wearing off.

"I'm fine."

"I'm guessing Taker let you have his eyeliner while he does his biker style." Randy laughed to see Jeff crack a smile at that.

"Yeah. This actually is mine and wasn't expecting to get wet." Jeff said as he finally got the eyeliner off his cheeks.

"I thought you had a date." Randy looks at his roommate who won't stop looking over Jeff.

"She left me for the waiter and I saw the two of you on the fountain sucking faces." Cena explained as randy rolls his eyes.

"I should take you back to the hotel." Randy leads Jeff away who takes his hand to lean against his side.

"You don't have to worry Randy."

"I don't like that he pushed us into the fountain. What really gets to me is he won't hold his tongue about you looking like a girl to him."

"I've heard it many times. Plus it looks like he's drunk and probably having a really bad night."

"You are too forgiving." Randy whispered with a smirk.

"With my family, I have to be and also ready to apologize for things myself or they do."

Soon they arrived at the hotel and Randy walked up the staircase with Jeff to see a tied up Angle in front of a door, but Jeff walked by without a second glance. Randy and him stopped outside his hotel room's door and looked to be thinking of what to say with this date coming to an end. At the same time, they began to kiss and Randy felt Jeff push against him to see this nervous of falling in love young wrestler letting instinct take over. When they separated from each other, Randy watched Jeff open the room's door and enter with a smile on his face. As Randy walked to the elevator he tried to get through how dream like this first date had been like and in the room Jeff leaned back on the door with a hand in his soaked hair.

"How was the date?" Mark asked from where he sits in a chair reading some old looking black book.

"Great." Jeff whispered as he began walking to his bed.

"Why are you soaking wet?"

"Fell in a fountain." Jeff answered as he entered the bathroom to change into pajamas.

"He didn't try anything on you?"

"Not even once." Jeff said as he walked out in pajama pants and a t-shirt. "What are you reading?"

"Just some book about dead stuff." Mark explained as he turned the page.

"Don't use any on Austin or else I'll have to apologize again for you."

"You are such a great nephew." Mark said to the boy who just rolled his eyes.

Jeff knew how much Mark cared about him and has always been there looking out for him even with his complicated condition. A seat was taken on the couch for Jeff to begin watching some movie on TV and Mark watched him. The man knew this day was going to come when Jeff would start dating and had a feeling it wouldn't be a normal relationship. Mark would be there for his nephew through the whole thing with the good and bad parts that come with relationships.
