Chapter Six: Fired?

By: Brittzers

A/N: Here's when things really get fucked. (:

-------------------------------------------------

So Shawn took him back. Hunter did say that he still planned on breaking up with Stephanie – which was why Shawn forgave him. Sometimes Shawn doesn't know why he even puts up with Hunter's funny business. Every day it's a different excuse for why Hunter hasn't broken up with her – but Shawn refuses to sit around and be hidden in the dark…at least not for a long time. For now, however, Shawn's just going to put up with it – He's going to suck it up. Besides, Shawn could barely stay away from Hunter, he loved him. Today, Shawn and Hunter sat in the hotel room, getting ready for tonight – It was Monday again, it was game day. The time was 5:46 pm; they only had a few hours until they were to perform. They had always felt the obligation to get pumped up for Mondays. There was perfectly reasonable reasons for that too, first of all – IT'S LIVE! Secondly, Shawn and Hunter wanted to give people the show to remember which meant they had to show some energy. Shawn and Hunter tend to get pumped for a show in two completely different ways. Hunter likes to hop up and down, just to get his adrenaline up and Shawn, lately, has been either eating tons of pop corn – or hanging out with his new work out buddy – I'll explain that later.

Shawn's work out buddy was a little late today, so Shawn had just been munching on caramel popcorn the whole time as he watched Hunter hop across the room. Shawn smiled a bit, raising his brows when his eyes met Hunters. Hunter began to smile back at Shawn, noticing his smile; he then looked down, beginning to sprint across the room. Shawn spoke up softly,

"Are you ready for tonight?"

He asks. Shawn usually asks this, and Hunter used to follow up by saying, 'As ready as I'll ever be', but not today. Hunter was really feeling affectionate today – Shawn didn't know if it was because Shawn had basically broke up with him a few days ago and he's trying to win some sort of trust or if it's because Hunter just wants to care more. Either way, Shawn is very happy with the affection – he just loves being touched by him, being loved by him. He loves it all.

"Yeah – However, I have been missing something all day."

Hunter said as he stopped jumping, breathing just a bit heavily and he began to walk towards Shawn who had sat on the edge of the bed, just looking at Hunter. The smile on Shawn's face had gotten larger when Hunter stopped in front of Shawn, looking down at him with the purest of grins. Shawn raised his brows again as he gently rubbed Hunter's thighs and then he let his hand drop to the sides to hold himself up when he leaned back slightly.

"And what is that?"

"Let me show you…"

He said as he held his hand out for Shawn's hand, and as if it were planned, Shawn placed his hand into Hunter's and Hunter lifted him from the bed until he stood on his own. Hunter's left hand swiftly went around Hunter's waist and he pulled him close so that Hunter's nose was inches from Shawn's – they were so close that Hunter could kiss his tonsils if he wanted. Shawn became playfully impatient as Hunter took his time to place a hand behind his neck.

"What'd you forget?"

Shawn asked again, smiling that big toothy smile that exposes his beautiful pearly whites and his pink tongue squeezed in between them. With out words this time, Hunter began to lean in slowly, turning his head slightly so then his nose didn't get in the way. Their lips gently touched and as soon as they did, Shawn leaned in the rest of the way, connecting their lips fully in a deep, passionate, loving, but playful kiss. Playful because Shawn couldn't stop his giggling in between it – Hunter found that adorable. Shawn was just so happy at how perfect things seemed to be lately. Hunter had even turned Stephanie down that Tuesday that she wanted to get 'frisky' with him after she visited her dad - in order to have Shawn forgive him. Stephanie wasn't even upset since John decided to take her out to the movies – just to hang out. Hunter didn't really know how all of that 'Stephanie and John' friendship started off but at that exact moment, he didn't really care. All Shawn really needed was time with Hunter, that's all he ever asked for, really. A knock at the door seemed to interrupt the minute-long kiss that ended with the two lying in bed together. Hunter lifted from on top of Shawn and looked over at the door then back at Shawn who lie on his back, laughing adorably. Hunter got off of him completely and walked towards the door, snatching it open quite irritated. It was Edge – Shawn's new work out buddy. Ever since the argument that Shawn and Hunter had, which was only a few days ago, Edge has been coming over to 'borrow' Shawn. Hunter knew what Edge was going through at the moment, he figured Shawn was giving advice on it – so he didn't argue.

"Hey Hunter"

"What's up, Edge?"

"Can I –"

"- Borrow Shawn?"

Hunter finished his sentence and rolled his eyes slightly, he could've picked a better time than now, I mean really. Things were indeed getting heated between the two boys and Hunter would've loved to finish that off. Shawn pealed his tiny body from the bed and ran his fingers gently though his 'holy make-out mop'. Shawn smiled slightly and stood in front of the door, waving slightly at Edge and then looking over at Hunter for a second,

"I really need to go work out before the show"

Shawn looked back at Edge, whom had been smiling and then Shawn looked back at Hunter, pouting his lips slightly, noticing the still irritated face Hunter had.

"Wanna come?"

Shawn asks, then Edge spoke in quickly,

"Maybe he wants to uh…just hang around the room. You know how he gets – he'll start working out and not want to stop"

Hunter paused at Edge trying to speak for him, then he signed and nodded reluctantly.

"Maybe I should chill out. I'll probably get some rest and stuff. See you at seven?"

Shawn nodded slightly; he could kind of see the jealousy in Hunter's eyes. It was obvious that Hunter had really wanted to go, it would've probably been just to watch Shawn and make sure Edge doesn't try something funny – knowing him, he might've, especially in the current situation he's in. Shawn looked at Edge,

"Could you hold the elevator for me?"

Shawn asked him, Edge nodded a bit and walked off, leaving Hunter and Shawn at the doorway alone. Shawn looked at Hunter with those dashing baby blue eyes and smiled softly, lifting his hand and gently rubbing his cheek softly,

"You know I love you, right?"

Hunter smiled at Shawn's words and nodded slightly as he leaned in and kissed Shawn's forehead gently. Shawn watched him as he pulled away and he paused for a second, looking into those honey eyes of Hunters, then slowly he lifted onto his toes and kissed his mouth gently. Hunter mumbled against Shawn's lips gently,

"I love you"

Shawn smiled more against him and then he pulled away.

"I love you more"

Shawn said, grinning ear to ear as he left Hunter and began to walk to the elevator.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Shawn left, Hunter turned around and shut the door behind him. He went and sat on the door, still smiling. He couldn't believe how they were working out all of this time. It was just like the old times, things were fine. Sure, Edge has been "borrowing" Shawn a lot lately, but it means nothing; Shawn and Hunter forever. Hunter scratched his head and smiled again, his mind only on Shawn until the annoying sound of the phone sounded. He was pretty sure of whom it was. He reached for the phone, picked it up and off of the receiver and held it to his ear securely.

"Hello?"

"Baby?"

He smiled slightly, even though most of his interest belonged to Shawn, he still felt Stephanie hiding somewhere in his heart.

"Hey Steph"

Hunter said softly, laying down onto his back and closing his eyes, listening to her next words. He relaxed, breathing softly, as he still smiled. He could still see Shawn, even while his eye lids are shut – he still saw him, smiling big and excited-like.

"What are you doing?"

Stephanie asked, Hunter had to snap himself into reality when he answered her. He had to make sure that he didn't call her 'Shawn'. It was pretty hard not to, but then again, it was easy to distinguish between Shawn and Stephanie – way too easy. Hunter felt special when Shawn touched him…not to much when Stephanie touched him.

"Nothing – Just laying here…thinking about you"

He lied, in reality, he was thinking about Shawn – that's all he ever thought about during the last hectic couple of days. There was nothing wrong with it, however, he loved thinking about Shawn. It always brought a smile to his face when he thought about Shawn – Shawn was a brilliant thought, he loved Shawn. It was official. Stephanie smiled a bit, Hunter had always made her feel so special,

"Really? Hmm…"

She said, and then a slight giggle rumbled in her throat,

"What?"

Hunter asked, giving a laugh as well – what? Laughing was contagious. Stephanie grinned a bit and then spoke softly,

"Open the door – there's a surprise"

"I wonder what it could be"

Hunter said, lifting off of the bed lazily and doing to the door and he pulled it open. Hazel eyes fell upon two blue ones that had stared lovingly up at him. They weren't the blue ones that he had loved looking into; instead, they were these other blue ones that he had been staring into for years now. Hunter's eyes began to drift as the phone at his ear began to press harder against it. She had very little attire on, it was a thin white limited addition Triple H tee shirt on, no shoes, and her undergarments were easily seen through the night gown. Her hair was slightly curled but it fell messily along her shoulders. She soaking wet, holding a bottle of water in her hand. She handed him the water bottle and she pushed her hair behind her ear,

"Hi. I'm all wet – Can I come in?"

She said seductively, Hunter's jaw dropped. This can't be happening! She obviously planned this – it was evident. No one comes to someone's hotel room in only a tee shirt, soaking wet – This was evil – she's so evil.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shawn leaned against the wall as he counted the push-ups that Edge could do, they were having a contest, and Shawn got to 47 push-ups non stop at a quick pace. Edge had to beat that or else he'd have to do Shawn's made up 'suicide' routine around the gym.

"44…45…46 –"

Edge stopped and laid onto his stomach before Shawn could even count to 47. Shawn burst into laughter as Edge gave a frustrated punch at the floor and he relaxed onto the carpet. Shawn pointed and laughed,

"Just give up already, you're never going to beat me!"

Shawn teased playfully as Edge got up and sat on his butt, looking up at Shawn, as he teased, Edge lifted his leg and kicked his knee gently and then he rolled his eyes. Shawn still chucked as he walked towards the bike, he lifted a leg over it and then he sat on it – turning the machine on at the same time. He began pedaling and watched as Edge laid down onto his back, getting comfortable resting and then Edge sighed,

"I've got to mic with Randy today…"

He said, almost miserably. He really didn't want to, he couldn't stand being around him now-a-days, but this was for the business, really. Shawn looked down at the meter at his speed then back over at Edge,

"I bet you miss her…don't you?"

Edge looked over, giving off this pretend 'I don't care' face by wrinkling his brows and screwing his lips up slightly before scoffing.

"Who? Randy? That girl could disappear off of the face of the earth – I wouldn't care"

He said, pretending to think that Shawn meant Randy but he knew damn well who Shawn was talking about. Shawn shook his head at Edge, he knew he had been trying to avoid the sound of Lita's name ever since what had happened. Especially with her leaving soon afterwards – only visiting to see Randy from time to time, since she was still in town for now. Lately, she's been working with her band, 'The Luchagors' (a/n: shameless plug. Check out the luchagors via myspace. : they're awesome) and she's being doing pretty good. Shawn has noticed how some of the songs relate to her feelings about the business and sometimes Edge – but he didn't pay too much attention to that at the moment.

"No"

Shawn said,

"Lita. Do you miss her?"

Shawn continued and asked. Edge's face softened and he lied again, in a very shaky and obvious voice,

"No, I see her all the time"

"It must hurt…"

Shawn continued, stopping his biking and climbing off, beginning to walk towards Edge and then he leaned on the wall, looking down at his on-screen enemy and off-screen buddy.

"You know…to have to see then all the time – Together. I couldn't do it."

Shawn said. Edge rolled his eyes, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, but Shawn didn't seem like he was going to stop.

"Shut up"

Edge muttered, Shawn continued on, as if he hadn't even heard Edge

"I mean, it must've stung a little, you're girl…or wife…or whatever just abruptly leaving you for some prick of a friend"

Edge lifted off of the floor but still sat there, getting serious. You could tell by his face that he was getting either angrier or more hurt. His eyebrows raised and his eyes widened as he pointed at Shawn,

"Seriously, Shawn – Chill"

Edge protested, but Shawn never listened – ever.

"Wow – Ever notice this is similar to karma? You're no longer the 'Angelina' in the situation - Ha-ha, no, no, no. You – YOU, my friend, are the 'Jennifer'. How does it feel to have the tables turned?"

Shawn was in his own little world at the moment. He shouted out those lasts words, getting a little carried away with the whole thing. He tends to go over board with situations at times, he doesn't mean to – but it just happens. By this time, Edge had launched up to his feet and pushed Shawn against the wall – using his hand to over his mouth. Shawn's bright eyes widened as he mumbled slightly, having noticed that he had not only pissed Edge off but Edge seemed to be crying now; I think I did note that Edge cries an awful lot. Shawn's surprised face had faded and his eyebrows lowered to a more sympathetic face. Shawn wrapped his arms around Edge's neck and hugged him gently, trying to comfort him. Just by Edge feeling the warmth of Shawn, he removed his hand and wrapped it around Shawn's waist. His face was buried into Shawn's chest,

"I'm sorry"

Shawn whispered, rubbing the side of his face onto Edge's puffy blond and wavy hair. Edge wiped his tears away, although more seemed to fall in its place. He shook his head slightly as he broke down slightly in Shawn's arms.

"I don't know how to get over her, Shawn. She's constantly on my mind and I hate it – I cant get her out…"

He cried, Shawn began to hold him tighter, he could feel Edge heaving against his chest,

"How'd you do it?"

"Get over…Lita?"

Shawn repeated what he thought Edge meant. Edge laughed slightly at his seemingly joking stupor and shook his head again.

"How'd you get over Rebecca?"

Shawn shrugged slightly,

"I don't know…I found out that I loved someone else and…they loved me in return…but it…doesn't really count since…my situation is kind of different…"

Shawn said, and then he continued,

"You need someone to love you…to hold you…and to do anything for you."

"I need you Shawn…"

After those words, Shawn just paused…At the moment, he didn't know what to say…

-------------------------------------------------

Hunter lay underneath Stephanie, letting her touch and kiss him wherever she wanted. He just enjoyed what was going on – He was just like your average man; always wanting the feeling of pleasure, always needing it and always craving it no matter who it's from. Stephanie looked up at him, giving off a face that she thought was seductive, a big smirk and her pretty blue eyes connected with her, followed by a small chuckle. Hunter went along with this, smiling every time she looked up at him – honestly; he just wanted to get fucked at this point. There was plenty of time. Shawn left before anything could happen between the two and now he's got his make up fuck. Stephanie began to kiss down Hunter's neck softly, he, on the other hand, kept his eyes shut, his mouth opened as he tried to keep a steady breath when Stephanie began her slow grinding against him. Okay, so he felt bad about what was going on – I mean really, he had just gotten out of bed with Shawn – but again, HE'S A MAN! That's his excuse.

Hunter's hand wrapped tightly around Stephanie's waist, using her waist to push her down harder onto his crotch area as she worked her hips. He allowed himself to moan her name softly when his eyes rolled back and he arched his body slightly, he needed her to touch him – but her only goal at the moment was to tease him. This was going to be a long session.

-------------------------------------------------

After Edge's words, Shawn just stood there, looking at him wide-eyed.

"I shouldn't have said that…"

Edge says lowly and pulls away quickly, getting out of Shawn's arms. Shawn still stood there, for very long moments before blinking slightly and then shaking his head a bit, looking down and stuttering slightly.

"Uh – I-It's alright – but uh…why…why do you feel this way?"

Shawn asks, just wanting to know. It's nice to be liked but it's weird to be liked by someone other than Hunter – point blank.

"I don't know…I've wanted to tell you since…"

"Since you kissed me…"

"…yeah…"

Edge said in a slight whisper, then he speaks again in the same tone,

"I freaked you out, didn't I?"

Shawn just shook his head,

"You make me feel like…I don't know…"

Shawn said, he didn't really know what to say to him, Edge then continued to speak afterwards,

"When you stayed the night with me…This may sound really crazy but…but I – I guess I fell in love with you"

Shawn paused for a second and then he looked down, then back at Edge, into his eyes,

"You probably just think you're in love with me. I'm probably just a rebound…How can you be sure?"

"I just know it"

"But how do you know? It could be –"

Shawn was interrupted, but not by Edge's voice this time, oh no, more along the lines of with Edge's lips. Edge kissed him deeply, Shawn's hands, out of reflex, wrapped around Edge's neck, embracing him as Edge's needy kiss surrounded him. It became a blur as he kissed him, he didn't know what had come over him. He felt something between that kiss – he didn't know what it was, but he went along with it because of that feeling. Besides, he didn't know how to stop himself. It was just too hard…there was something there – he knew it but what the hell was it?!

-------------------------------------------------

It didn't take long for Stephanie and Hunter to get started, but it sure was taking a while to end. The wood on the head of the bed hit the wall continuously, making boom noises onto their "neighbors" hotel room. The "neighbor" got so irritated to the point to where the neighbor banged hard against the wall, trying to get them to shut up. She was being bothered with Hunter all day – not literally, she had just been trying to figure out what she should do about the situation. If you haven't noticed already, the neighbor was a female – and she had a lot to tell if she needed to…She figured the person in there was Hunter, especially since all she heard was 'Oh Hunter' three times in a row.

Currently, however, it's not even personal reasons that bugged this female wrestler; it was the fact that through all of this, Hunter's wife was going to get hurt. Weather Hunter tells her or not, it's going to get to Stephanie and eat at her. She'll have the choice to react normally, react sadly, or react angrily – Angry Stephanie is pretty scary…Really. This was it Candice (yes, Candice) had to do something about this. She was going to end it.

"Shit Hunter!"

Stephanie screamed through clenched teeth. By this time, Candice had already started to get dressed; it was now 6:48pm. She could've waited a bit to get dressed but she couldn't take keeping this from Stephanie. Candice marched out of the hotel room and over to the next hotel room door and she began to bang on to the door. On the door knob there was a sign that Stephanie had put on there right before she entered, it read: "Do not disturb" in pink writing and bright pink bubble hearts all over. It was disgusting; Candice ignored the sign and pounded on the door again. The squeaking from the bed continued – it actually began to speed up. Candice needed Stephanie to at least know. She knocked once more,

"Stephanie – Open up! I need to talk to you!"

Candice shouted, and then waited outside of the door. The rocking stopped slightly but continued seconds later,

"Come…back…another time"

Stephanie whimpered out, Candice knocked again,

"Can't you read?"

Hunter shouted, then the noise that followed was Stephanie shrieking loudly as well as Hunter, showing that their "closure". They had to rest afterwards so they waited there for several minutes. Stephanie just rested her head onto Hunter's chest, trying to breathe heavily while being out of breath, the both of them. Stephanie, after a couple of minutes, pealed her body from Hunter's and stole the sheet, wrapping it around her naked, sweaty body and she went to the door as Hunter grabbed the thick blanket from the floor and covered himself with it. Stephanie needed to see who this person was that knocking and why they were so eager to get him. She twisted the door knob and opened the door seeing…no one.

"Hmm…"

She said in a confused-like voice. Hunter lifted up and off of the bed and slipped into a pair of pants. He looked back at her and then walked nearer to her,

"What?"

He asks as he took a glance out of the door right before she closed it. She turned around to look at Hunter with her bright eyes and then she went to lay down onto the bed again, she muttered into the pillow, a bit tired now.

"No one was there"

"Well it seems like they listened"

Hunter laughed as he hopped over Stephanie and laid on the other side of her, his arm laying onto her lower back. After minutes of laying there, the door was vigorously knocked on. Hunter lifted his head quickly, opening his hazel eyes and then he got off of the bed and opened the door before the "knocker" could knock again.

"What?!"

Hunter said in a irritated way, almost in a scream but then he quickly noticed that it wasn't a woman, instead it was a man and not just any man – it was Vince.

"Heya boss"

He tried to laugh it off,

"What's up?"

"Come walk with me, Hunter, talk with me"

Vince asks and begins walking. His voice was oddly cool and collected – like he had nothing on his mind, but there was something there…Hunter couldn't quite put his finger on it but Stephanie knew something was up, she could feel it. She knew that look on her father's face. She watched him with worried eyes as she looked back at Hunter,

"Do you need me to come with you?"

Vince quickly called out before Hunter could say a word to her, Vince shook his head,

"I'm going to need you to stay here, princess. Your husband and I have some things to talk about"

Vince told her in a serious voice before Hunter shut the door behind him. Now he knew something was up – he didn't want Stephanie to accompany? This wasn't business – he had done something terribly wrong.

-------------------------------------------------

It didn't take long for Shawn to pull away…it only took seconds for Shawn to compute the things that were happening this very second. Shawn was confused and then he noticed the smirk growing on Edge's lips…the ones that he had just kissed.

"That wasn't so hard, was it?"

"…"

Shawn didn't say a word, he couldn't. What could he say? 'It was good – let's do it again?' No. It was good, but the fact of the matter is, he shouldn't have been kissing Edge – like at all. He should be kissing Hunter; his current boyfriend, his lover…Not Edge. Shawn placed his hand onto his own lips and he slid from behind Edge. He then wiped his mouth, basically thinking he had betrayed Hunter – He had to tell him…he couldn't lie about this one…besides, he'd never lie to Hunter. Without a word to Edge, Shawn was out of there. He ran up the stairs and he knocked on his hotel room door…yeah, he for got his key. It took a moment, but Stephanie pulled the door open, only in a blanket…that's it.

Shawn was surprised by this for a second, but he figured Stephanie had only been here just to be here – he supposed they weren't having sex…at least…that's what he wanted to think. It took a second for Shawn to speak to her, he felt too uncomfortable, he felt a little shaky too.

"I-Is Hunter in there?"

Stephanie shook her head and looked behind herself in the dark room then back at Shawn,

"No – he just left with my dad a few seconds ago."

"Which way did they go?"

"That way"

She pointed to her left, towards the elevator, but Shawn looked past the elevator and down the hall. He nodded at her and smiled,

"Thanks Steph!"

He said, and then he was off, in a hurry, looking for Hunter, he ran but heard the elevator ding so he turned his head behind him while still running forward and then BAM! He ran right into one of the Diva's…coincidentally it was Candice,

"Oh – Jeez I'm Sorry Candice!"

He said,

"I was just looking for Hunter – Have you seen him?"

He asks as he tries to help her up and dust her dress off. She smirked a bit, knowing what she had done. She nodded,

"Well, he should be with Vince…"

"Oh…"

"…getting fired"

This took Shawn by surprise,

"Fired?!"

He repeated, Candice nodded,

"Yeah, I told Vince that he showed inappropriate behavior to me and I saw with some blond girl at Red Lobster. He was kissing her and every thing!"

Shawn paused…blond…red lobster…public kissing? 'That was me!' Shawn thought as he rolled his eyes. This was all his fault – Hunter was getting fired because of him…This was so messed up.

-------------------------------------------------

"Now Hunter, as you know, I'll do anything for my daughter"

"Yeah…"

Hunter nodded, he knew how Vince was – and if he knew something about him and Shawn, he was going to do whatever it was he had to do to make his daughter happy. Stephanie didn't know about Hunter's cheating, but he made sure that one of his most trusted wrestlers filled her in on it – John Cena. Hunter, however, had no clue that he was going to get John to tell her about anything – he didn't know that he was going to tell her at all – Hell, he didn't even know that Vince knew what was going on, he was just going to listen and stay cool.

"This is why I'm going to ask you to leave."

Vince said quickly. It was straight, direct and totally on point. The bell rang on the elevator, indicating that they had gotten to ground level on the elevator, when the doors opened there were three big guys out side of it. Those three weren't too cool with Hunter – at all; Viscera, Big Show, and the Great Khali.

"Get him, boys"

Vince ordered, and immediately and before Hunter could even react, Viscera grabbed Hunter by the hair and threw him outside of the hotel building, out back. Big show grabbed him and threw him into the steel trash can and they all began pounding on him and beating on him. For thirty minutes they did this until he was bloody and battered until the point to where he couldn't see straight. Hunter had eventually fell unconscious seconds later, only Vince being the last person he saw. Candice came out back and smirked slightly, wrapping her arm around Vince's waist and she leaned in slowly to kiss his cheek,

"Thanks for taking care of that jerk, Vince"

"No Candice – Thank you for filling me in on what he was doing to Stephanie. I owe you for that."

"Well – you could defiantly meet me in my hotel room after you get all cleaned up, Mister McMahon"

"No problem, Candice…"

He laughs,

"I'll see you there"

Vince said as Candice exited. He then walked closer to Hunter, staring down at him and then he spat on him. He kicked him slightly and Hunter opened his eyes a bit,

"Nice talking to you…"

He said,

"And by the way…"

He began to walk away from him,

"YOU'RE FIRED!"
