redsandman99, thank you! JoMoFan-spot, after 'Figment' I really needed it, lol. I adore those two sweet more than violent. & of course, Jay'll always love his Addy. Adam belongs somewhere wedged right between Jay & Jeff, or however I can work that equation. Of this I am sure :P I prefer Jeff's lap belonging to Edge's ass. But I'll admit the three top laps Adam's ass fits perfectly in are Jeff, Randy & Jay's. I'll compromise with that ;) I actually got Adam's cat allergy confirmed on page 112 of his book & where he talks about not being able to breathe, breaking out in hives & his eyes being red & itchy, I wasn't too far in my description... sans maybe the sneezing.. (shrugs) Still odd w/ all the cats Jay has.. lulz. Thanks as always, Lovely. Esha Napoleon, thanks, XD. Rhiannamator, (giggles) Awe, Adam's so cuddle-worthy. That pillow-fight was incredibly one-sided.. Eh, for my own selfish reasons Adam usually has to be Jeffy's whore in some way or another.. Haha, gewd. It was too good not to share ;P Ah, I wish I had the Jeff Hardy bear. I have Edge's, but not Jeff's. And thank you so much too, my Dear. ToruKun1, hehe, Raspberry Boi :P They're all fruity & delicious, lulz. I'd like to have Adam be the victim in a vamp-fic. I've tried, but I always get side-tracked. & awe, don't called Matty that. For some reason I'm obsessed w/ Adam being spanked. & I usually only name-drop Supernatural. I'm mental for Supernatural so it pops up, lol. Seraphalexial, takers dark lover, thank you both :)

BubbleGumSweetShit;
Chapter ten/ 'Valentine Crap'
Rated; T/ L, (angst, adult situations)
Pairings; 1st, Miz/Adam. 2nd, Jedam & implied Jay/Adam. & 3rd, Jay/Jeri with implied Jay/Adam & Miz/Jeri.
Set-up; Three short pieces. First, Mike tries to prove he's man enough to be w/ Adam. Next, Jeff loses Adam to Jay. & last, Jay realizes too late how badly he screwed up w/ Chris. They are not related to each other. Not exactly fluffy romantic pieces, but eh.

Miz/Edge; Man Enough.

Mike saw Adam sitting alone at the club, after walking over and inviting himself to sit down, he began flirting with the blonde. Adam only looked at him unimpressed.

"You're not man enough." He said simply, taking a drink.

Mike slouched. "But I'm as old as Randy and I know he's fucked your ass."

Adam was unfazed by the bluntness. "Randy's man enough."

...

Mike was still determined.

He walked right up to Adam in the back, slapped him on the ass and Adam didn't have time to blink before the younger male bent him back and was kissing him hard. The kiss made his head swim and his heart rate quicken, but he still shoved Miz away and Mike received a slap.

"That just makes you an arrogant asshole." He wiped his mouth on his wrist and walked away as Mike rubbed his slapped cheek.

Adam liked it rough and he had strangely liked to be dominated, but he couldn't let Mike or anyone think they could walk all over him.

...

Adam was sitting at a table, ready to bite into his sandwich when Mike laid some flowers and a box of chocolates down on the table. The blonde glanced up at him to see Mike shrug.

"Figured it couldn't hurt."

Adam shook his head and sat his sandwich back down on the paper plate before clasping his hands together over top of it, a small smile trying to creep up on his lips. "You just don't give up, do you?"

Mike smiled wryly that time. "Not when there's something I really want."

"But why me? Why now?"

"Why not? I've always wanted you. I used to watch you.. When I first came here, I knew I didn't stand a chance, especially not with Randy around, so I waited. You're worth it."

Adam broke out into a snorted giggle that made Mike flush.

"That was the cheesiest crap I've ever heard." In truth, it probably wasn't.

"Ah, fuck it then. What do I gotta do?" Mike asked, picking up the box of chocolates and looking them over.

"For one, sit my chocolates back down. Two, pick me up at eight tonight. Dress nice, but not over-done, leave the Jericho-suits in the closet. I want steak." Adam grinned and picked back up his sandwich, biting into it.

Mike folded his arms and watched the still grinning man chew. "Bossy bitch." He muttered teasingly, dropping the candy back down on the table.

Adam swallowed and took a drink to clear his throat. "And don't you forget it."

Mike smiled and turned away before taking out his phone and looking up restaurants and other shit. By the end of the night he was positive he'd be a step closer to having Adam Copeland be all his.

Jeff/Adam/Jay triangle; Rose Torture.

Jeff stared at the roses in his hands. "I dunno, Matty. I knew he still loved Jay. Why did I think that would change just cuz we had sex?" Jeff sighed.

Matt watched his brother as black painted fingernails plucked and picked at the delicate red rose petals, tearing them off slowly. One by one and letting them flutter to the ground below as Jeff sat on a crate.

It was a chilly day in February- Fuck that, it was cold as shit- Valentine's Day. They were outside and a icy breeze blew Jeff's hair down into his face. The younger Hardy stopped his rose torture long enough to rake his hair out of his eyes. Matt swore he heard his baby brother sniffle.

Jeff had left earlier to go bring Adam roses. He was going to tell the blonde- who'd been separated from his lover Jason, heart-broken and finding comfort in Jeff- that he loved him and wanted them to be together. But when he got there, he found Adam in bed with Jay. They'd gotten back together. Jay had brought Adam roses and some jewelry. When asked about the roses Jeff had, Jeff lied and said they were something he had picked up for Matt for some schmuck, wished Jay and Adam luck and left. As much as it tore Jeff up inside, as much as he loved Adam, he wanted to see Adam happy and Jay made Adam happy. Jeff couldn't bear to tell him.

Matt wanted to tell Jeff that he was right all along. That he knew if Jeff got too close, he'd get his heart broken. But he kept quiet, just watched as Jeff pulled the petals off the roses.

"It's alright. I'm okay. I don't hate him. Jay'll take care of him. It wouldn't have worked between us anyway." Another sniffle and a tear rolled down Jeff's cheek as another petal fluttered to the ground.

Christian/Jericho (w/ hints of Jay/Adam & JeriMiz); Cold & Bitter.

(2003)

"Chris, you know I fucking love you. To the ends of the damn earth, you know I love you."

Chris huffed. "Talk to me like that and expect me to believe you? What the fuck, Jay? Leave me alone."

Jay stood under the shelter of the building's awning. Chris sat on a bench in the freezing rain. He was soaked to the bone and shivering as he hugged himself. His shoulder length blond hair dripping, his teeth visibly chattering.

"C'mon, you're taking all this too seriously." Jay inched out further, stepping back as it thundered. He didn't wanna get wet but his lover was going to get sick. He probably already was sick sitting out in the rain like this. Jay was two seconds from jerking him on inside the hotel lobby.

Chris just glared at him, blinking away a combination of tears and rain. "How the hell am I supposed to take it?" He shouted above the rain. "You won't even tell Adam about us! You two split mutually as you always say! Adam's moved on and you won't tell him that we're fucking!"

Jay looked around nervously for passerby. The coast was clear. "Fine, Baby, please. I'll tell Adam. We can start with our little inner circle, okay? Just please come in and let me dry you off."

"What do you care?" Chris said through gritted teeth and choked back emotion. He bowed his head, allowing the rain to wash over him. He was numb from the inside out and just didn't care anymore.

"I care, Chrissy. Please?" A flash of lightning and Jay took a deep breath.

"You're ashamed of me! Of us! I'm sick of hiding from everyone! I'm sick of the lies and the sneaking around like we're doing something wrong!" Chris still screamed.

"Fine. Okay. We'll work through it, okay. Just come in." Jay begged, tired of this nonsense.

Chris shook his head and pushed his soaked hair back.

Jay gritted his teeth and stalked toward Chris, jerking him up and dragging him through the lobby. Chris didn't fight him or protest at least. He got the shivering blonde, who was choking back sobs and making a sound like a hiccup, into the elevator and up to their room where he dried him off and got him out of those drenched clothes.

After a nice hot shower where Chris barely looked at him (and trust him and his lonely dick, they did nothing but wash off and warm Chris up) Jay got Chris dried off again, even his hair... He dried his hair with the attached blow dryer in the bathroom. Something he used to do for Adam for crying out loud! When they'd travel together and Jay still had long hair, they'd dry each other's hair sometimes.

Jay and Adam broke up and there were still parts of it that hurt. Jay claimed it didn't, wished it didn't, but it still did. Him and Adam "moved on", remained friends, but Jay couldn't look at him the same way. When he started teaming with Jericho, they hooked up. Jay just couldn't bring himself to announce it this time. Chris had been patient and now the powers that be were breaking up Vitamin-C just like they once did to E&C. Now Chris was just as paranoid as Adam had been. Trouble and the difference was, with his relationship with Adam, Jay was open. 'This is my Adam and we're a package deal. Besties, lovers, brothers from other mothers..' Jay just couldn't bring himself to admit he was headed down the same path and now Chris was suffering.

"Baby.." He said, crawling into bed behind Chris and fitting his chest to Chris's back.

Chris, now dressed in dry warm clothes as well as Jay, just snuggled down into his pillow as he laid on his side.

"I'm sorry, Chris. I'm just... We've been over this, Baby. I'm scared, okay. I don't wanna lose you like.." He stopped and swallowed.

Chris sat up and Jay was forced to as well. "Like you did Adam. Well, I'm not Adam, Jay. I'm not his replacement. That's the damn problem, isn't it?" He started to cry. "I'm not him?"

Jay shook his head and took Chris's head in his hands., wiping away his tears with his thumbs. "No, Baby... that's not it. If anything, you not being him is a big plus." Jay sighed. "I loved Adam, but it was too difficult after awhile. It hurt and I don't want to repeat the same mistakes with you. I don't wanna lose you."

Chris shook his head away and looked down, blue eyes so damn sad.

"Hey, I got you something. Late Valentine's gift." Jay got up and got something out of his bag. He handed Chris a long, black, rectangular box. Opening it, Chris discovered a gold bracelet. He looked it over, sniffling.

"I love it, Jay." Came the trembled reply. Jay kissed him on the forehead and held him close.

...

(2010)

Jay watched Chris Jericho in the back. Some 7 years had passed since then. It was 2010 now and looking at his former lover he could see with the short spiky hair and the business-man-like suits with the sour attitude, that no; Chris was nowhere near like Adam anymore, if he ever had been. Because of Jason Reso, Chris Jericho was bitter. It was Jay's fault. He'd fucked Chris up. At least he couldn't ever say the same for Adam. Adam was happy with Jeff.

Not Jay though. Not anymore.

Chris looked over at him and Jay's breath caught in his throat. Chris's look softened and for a second in those gentle blue eyes, Jay saw the old Chris. The man he had loved and lost.

Mike walked up and looped an arm around Chris's shoulders and that look from Jericho hardened to cold and bitter. Jay dropped his head as they walked away.

...

Later Chris touched to the gold bracelet around his wrist. The gift from Jay he got 7 years ago. He felt the tears welling up just behind his eyes, but be damned he'd let them come. No. He had cried enough.

"Jeri, you coming, Babe?" Mike called from the door.

Chris took a deep breath and snarled. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Be there in a minute, Mike."

Mike nodded and left his idol with his thoughts.

I was wondering actually how to work a Miz/Edge relationship where Adam didn't top or rape Miz. (gawd I hate Miz as the victim bottom, it just irritates me) I was wondering if Miz was 'man enough' or something about Mike being younger, I also realized he's the same age as Randy & Randy's topped Adam. My poor Jedam, always getting broked up, even at the hands of me. Eh, least it was Jay-Jay. Usually when my Christian and Jeri muses collaborate, I get funny and catty & fun bitchiness. This time, my Jeri muse took over & I got angst! Eh, I didn't mind. I was happy w/ it. Sorta like a Jay turned Chris into what his persona is today thing. I went back to 2003 & my memory's fuzzy & I'm lazy, but I kept Chris's longer hair & had Jay's short. Chris's long hair kinda symbolizing Adam's in a way, or so he thought, which is why he chopped it off. I'm not too big on Valentine's Day personally, but eh, a little slashiness dun't hurt.
