Plans ad his mother
He was sitting there, drowning in his lack of luck with Lady Luck. It concerned him and Austin- they just coudn´t go further into their relationship. Different bookings, signings with other wrestlers, advertisements... the list goes on. When they met, it was past midnight and both were too much exhausted to do anything but to go to bed. Ale was moping. Being his best friend, Chris was there to hear him out.
Chris was comforting him. " Don´t be so negative, man! You gotta believe. He is free on weekends, no?"
Alex hesitated." Well, yes. But he is usually training. So am I and you. I don´t wanna disturb him. "
" DISTURB? Where did you get that stupid impression? I´m sure he waits for you." Alex lifted up his glass and observed its contents, deeply thinking. Then, Chris remembered what he overheard in locker room the other day. " Maybe I know what would help you. I kinda overheard that his birthday will be soon." Alex looked up, flame of hope ignited in his eyes. " You are right! This is my chance to make him happy and further our relationship! Thanks, bro! You really helped me out now." Chris giggled. "You are welcome."

A few weeks later...
Alex worked hard. Very hard. On the storyline and on his plans. Oh, yes. He actually had plans. Right now, he has just finished the last preparation on his To - Do List. It´s gonna be awesome.
Their storyline had got such a high response, that management wants them to continue with " professional ad excellent work." If they knew that he and Austin aren´t faking it... For now, no one form higher ups suspects them. Let´s pray it stays the same way. Afar from that, Alex couldn´t complain about his life.
Now, to get him leave him house. It shoudn´t be hard. Austin will do anything for him. "Guests" are in charge of decoration and stuff. His job is to keep him away before the time they send him a text message that all is done. Austin will like it. It´s gonna be his best birthday ever! He was determinated to make Austin happy.
Alex called him right on the schedule. On the other side, Austin was still fast asleep. Sound of ringtone set specially for his love was relentless. He lazily scrubbed his eyes, blinked a few times and gazed at the nightstand with clock. 9 o´clock. He picked up his cellphone. " What´s up, Lexy?" Alex blushed. He is giving him kinky name? He shook that out of his mind for now and concentrated on him. " I´ll come to pick you up, sleepyhead! I would looove to make you lovely breakfast, since I know how you like to sleep late. I´ll be over in thirty minutes. Bye for now. Love ya!" Austin heard the sound of him hanging up.
Breakfast? This is the first time Alex will be doing breakfast for him. It looks like this will be a good day. He reached for his pants and a blue shirt, got dressed and went to bathroom to do his morning routine as always. When Austin checked how much time he had left, his cellphone showed that he has approximately 17 minutes before Alex comes to his house. He walked to his main entrance door and leaned on the wall. Alex was living nearby in a apartment that he shared with Sabin. One day after they were going out for some months, Alex began mumbling something about how far apart they are from each other, so they can´t spend so much time together outside of wrestling. So, he and Sabin figured a good plan - share and apartment - all because of their loves. Yes, that Velvet was living here, too. He almost got a heart attack when a month ago she tapped him in the supermarket and started talking to him. That was very awkward and it became even more, when she called Alex soon to be brother-in law. Austin had that much luck, that his mother was shopping there as well with his father. And they overheard their conversation. His mother invited her and Austin to his old house afterwards.
FLASHBACK
They sat in the living room. His father was reading a newspaper, while his mother was preparing tea and some biscuits, as energetic as felt bad that he didn´t tell his mother about him and Alex sooner. Father knew already, but he kept it a secret, because Austin asked him to. Now he was feeling guilty. His mother gave him a cup of hot tea, then to Velvet and settled down in the armchair next to her husband. " Danny, why can´t you visit from time to time? I have to invite you to your old house? Hmm? And what is the meaning about that brother -in law? Are you getting married? How about telling your mother about it?"
He sighed. This is why he didn´t visit his parents. For these questions. " Mom, listen. I have something to tell you that you probably won´t like." Velvet stared at him and five seconds later she realized her mistake. She gasped. " I´m sorry, Austin" I thought they knew!" Austin reassured her. " It´s okay. You didn´t know. Maybe you should introduce yourself first ." Velvet put her cup on the small table.
" O-Okay. I´m Velvet Sky. I´m a wrestler and I work for the same company as Austin -er, Daniel. My real name is Jamie Szantyr. I recently bought a small house here. My boyfriend and Austin´s ... love know each other and they decided to share and apartment here ,so that they coud be close to us. Both are wrestlers and work for TNA as well. That covers it, I guess." His mother was slightly curious. " So, Jamie. What´s your boyfriend´s name?" " Chris Sabin. Real name Josh Harter."
Austin felt that his peaceful days are gone. " Danny, dear. What´s her name? How does she look? Is she very pretty?"
Velvet gave his mother a questioning look. " HER NAME!? You didn´t tell them ?" He sighed. " Not yet. Mother. Listen carefully." His father put away his newspaper and his mother was waiting impatiently. Now or never. " The name is Alex Shelley."
" That´s a nice name, dear!" His mother interrupted him. Austin really had to tell his mom the truth. How could he hide it for so long? " Mom. It´s HIS name. His wrestling name is Alex Shelley, age 29, short dark hair with blond dye, beatiful chocolate brown eyes, about the same height as me and his real name is Patrick Martin." His mother was speechless. So his father, who knew the truth . Then...
"WHAAAAT!?"
His mother coudn´t take the shock. She fainted and fell to the floor. His father picked her up and carried her to bedroom. Velvet went after them, leaving Austin alone.
There, he did it. He finally told the truth. It isn´t a crime to love someone, is it? His mother will accept who he is. And she will accept Alex. He called him to get quickly over to his parent´s house. Austin told him the adress and hung up. The sooner she meets Alex, the better. At least, he hoped.
His mother woke up after forty six minutes. Velvet took care of her. When she came to, she was shocked and angry. " That boy! Why didn´t he say that earlier! I´m his mother! I have the right to know!"
" Maybe he was afraid that you would hate him, Madam." His mother shook her head. " No, NO! I could never hate my son! I´m just ... a bit in shock. Maybe if I met that Alex..."
Austin walked in. With Alex behind him. They kneeled in front of his mother. " Mom, this is Alex." His mother gazed at him.. Her eyes fixated on Alex´s face. " I see those beatiful chocolate brown eyes you talked about, Danny." Austin hissed as Alex blushed a little. " M-Mom!" His mother laughed. " I finally get to see the person for whom my son searched for so long. And I´m pleased to meet you, Alex. I´m Danny´s mother.
He kissed her hand. " I´m pleased to meet the lady who gave birth to the joy of my life." His mother took Alex´s hand and dragged him to the living room. Austin wanted to follow, but his dad stopped him. " Leave them alone. They need to talk. You know your mother." Austin chuckled. " Sir, you knew about this?" Velvet asked. He turned to her. " Hm? Ah, yes. I was told of this just recently, but I took it better than my wife. After all, this is the 21th century, not 18th. All I care about is that my son is happy. And Alex obviously makes him happy. I won´t get a grandchild from Daniel, but I still got other children. That´s how I see it, young lady."
Austin had a feeling that he has to be in living room. His mother was a formidable person when it comes to interrogation. " I´m sorry, dad, but I´ll go and help him out. Because I know mom."
Meanwhile, his mother was asking Alex all kind of questions. Austin heard one in particular and stopped, hidden behind a wall. " Tell me how you first met Danny and how you met after those years. How did you recognize him?" Alex began talking.
" We first met when I still lived here. He approached me and started talking to me. I was mesmerized by those about them was unusual. We played together. Time and time again. Then, one day, I had to tell him that my family is moving and that this is goodbye. We made a promise. That no matter what, we would find each other and stay together. Years went on. I tried to forget him. I told myself that he forgot about our promise and moved on. Figured he has probably settled down. So, I tried to date a few women, but it couldn´t work out, because Austin was on my mind all that time. I always aspired to become a professional wrestler. After years at Indy´s - I made it to TNA. I got a tag team with my best friend I found in Detroit and he´s Jamie´s boyfriend. Then, this year - Austin has finally found me. I immediatelly recognized him and his unusual eyes. But I told myself that it coudn´t be him and if it was him, he wouldn´t remember me and the promise. But, he proved me wrong. He loves me from that day and has searched for me all over the world. I´m thankful for his love for me. He convinced me, that he loves me. We got a storyline and we found out that we indeed can stay together. That ´s the story so far." His mother stayed silent. Austin knew his mother. She is testing him. " One final question. Do you love Danny or Austin?"
" Both of them, Madam. Each is a fragment, when put together they form the person I love with all of my heart and body. I can´t live without him." His mother laughed happilly. " Well, it´s settled! You can call me Mother from now on. Alex, was it?"
" Real name is Patrick. Patrick Martin. But nobody calls me that. Even family and friends call me Alex, Madam. I mean... Mother." She gave him and encouraging smile. " You sure learn fast, Alex. Now, what did Velvet mean by brother - in law?"
Alex growled. " There she goes again. She tells that little lie as joke every now and then. I'm not getting married nor my best friend." It´s a lie. Really. "
Explain it to me, Alex."
" There is no need to explain, Madam. She is just joking around." A man with light brown short hair and ocean blue eyes entered the room. Alex frowned. " Chris?" Chris stood in the ray of light coming through the window illuminating his masculine body, creating an aura of mystery around him.
" Austin. I can see you all the way from my position. Could you go and get Velvet? She and I have to clear this little misunderstanding up."
Damn it! He saw him hiding? Austin´s cover was blown away. Thanks, Sabin. Later I´ll get a lecture from both Alex and Mom, he thought.
He went back to get her. His dad went to garden and Velvet was reading some novel. " I was going to say make yourself at home, but you already did. Look. Sabin is waiting for you in the living room." She jumped up, excited. " Oh, my! Chriissy! I´m coomiiiing!" She left rather quickly. Velvet ran into Chris´ arms. He hugged her. " Vel, what did I tell you about THAT? We will wait until we are completely sure we can marry. And don´t go around telling that stuff around. It sounds suspicious." She bit on her lip. " Ookay. I won´t do THAT anymore. Pinky swear."
Alex chuckled. " P-Pinky swear!?" Austin cracked up and laughed. Velvet pouted. " Hey. That´s not funny!" His mother scolded them. " Now, now. Don´t pick on her. It was cute. She reminds me of myself, when your father charmed me, Danny. Say, why don´ t you all stay for dinner? It´s been a while since we´ve had guests."
Austin liked the idea. " Sound good to me. Alex?" He nodded. Velvet bursted out with joy. " Yes! A dinner at Solwold´s. I´m in. Say yes ,Chris." He smiled. " Anything for you."
Nothing memorable didn´t happen until the end of dinner. His mother asked nonchalantly. " What´s the talk about that brother - in law, Alex? I want to know."
Alex munched on his food for a minute, then he swallowed. " Hmm. Where to start? It all began when I moved to Detroit. I met there this guy Josh Harter and he was a freak into wrestling like me. We started hanging out, entered the same high school, then wrestling school and he is now my best friend and I think of him as a brother. He feels the same way about me. We aren´t related by blood, but our time together is what formed out bond. Is this explanation good enough, Madam?" His mother was smiling.
" Yes, good enough. But didn´t I tell you to call me Mother? " Austin choked on his food. He drank water. He panted regained his calm composure. " That´s it! Thanks for dinner. Alex, le´s go."
" But I didn´t finish eating-" Austin threw at him a look telling him - please, just come. Alex got up and apologized as he followed him out the front door. Velvet and Chris only stared at them, like his parents.

He didn´t meet his parents for months after that scene. So it startled him, when they barged in his house suddenly. And Alex had still to make his appearence. This day is going to suck.
