Deepest Desires. Chapter 2 : A Love In An Unexpected Way...

Wade Barrett sighed heavily as he came into the locker room after a hard-fought match against RVD, of course, winning and boasting about it afterwards. He deserved too, RVD was no push over. Closing the door behind himself, Wade ignored the other superstars who were in the locker room, laughing and talking rubbish as always.

Going over to his bag, Wade went to pull out a towel so he could go have a shower before heading to the next hotel - however - Wade's hand recoiled back as something sharp stabbed his finger. It was a small wound with a light trace of blood around it, but it stung like hell.

Ripping the bag open, Wade frowned at what he saw; a single red Rose? 'What the hell?' Wade thought as he carefully pulled out the rose, seeing a petal drop into his bag. It was beautiful, that was for sure. A small smile graced Wade's lips, he may have been tired, but Roses were one of his favorite flowers - if not his favorite. There was just something about them that always made Wade smile -

"Hey," Heath Slater's voice boomed around the locker room, almost getting everyone's attention. "Barrett's secret Admirer strikes again!" The ginger pointed at Wade, grinning like an idiot. Everyone else looked at Wade, seeing him with the rose before smiling or laughing.

"You should know," Wade smirked. "It was your boyfriend who gave it me." With that said, everyone shifted a chuckle before getting back to their own business while Heath pouted, crossing his arms over his chest - muttering a whatever.

Wade looked at the rose for a few more minutes, taking in its beauty before shaking his head. He knew who sent it, and it wasn't the first time his "admirer" had put something in his bag. It started about three weeks ago, the same time that Cody Rhodes just so happened to drop by Wade's hotel room. Ever since then things had been turning up in Wade's bag, and it didn't take a genius to figure out who his "secret Admirer" was.

Not only did Wade get roses on a daily basis, but also small notes saying how sexy he was, new in-ring attire to wear (the black ones - which Wade had to admit he liked or he wouldn't wear them, though he was curious with just how Cody got his size), even the Wolverine masks they wore together on the JBL and Cole Show. Wade had thought he made it clear to Cody that he had no intention of sleeping with him even if it was for one night. Wade had stopped going to practice when he knew Cody would be there, he would be reluctant to film anymore JBL and Cole Show, in fact Wade had stopped everything he normally did because he used to do it all with Cody. Going drinking, having dinner, talking about stuff - everything.

Come to think of it; they were probably closer than Cody was with his wife. Wade never realised just how close they had been until the gifts started turning up. And that's what he was afraid of, that things would change; which they had. It was always the same, Wade would get close to someone - far too close - and then something would happen and ruin a perfectly good friendship. How many times had that happened now? Too many.

Though it was mostly when they found out that Wade was gay. However, out of all the people who Wade had told... Cody was the only one who didn't say anything bad about it. He remembered it like it only happened yesterday where as it really happened at least a couple of months back after another short filming of the JBL & Cole Show...

Cody and Wade had decided to go out for a meal like they always did. Ever since they started filming the JBL and Cole show, they had been practically tied to the hip, it was almost like a routine now a days. Practice, work out, more practice and then get food, always together - but they weren't friends - though Wade couldn't actually call them the worst of enemies either. If they ever had to fight each other in the ring, Wade was positive he would be able to kick Rhodes' rear-end still.

Half way through their meal, they started talking about their past and who they had dated. Wade started to fidget in his seat, looking rather uncomfortable as Cody carelessly talked about a girl he dated when he was 15 and that she was totally nuts. Wade tried to get away with just nodding, knowing how much Cody liked ro talk, but after an hour (their meals finished) Cody asked Wade if he was ill or something.

Wade said no before quickly getting up to leave after paying for his meal. Of course, Cody had followed, frowning by the time he caught up with Wade. But he didn't say anything else until they were both in his car, Wade in the passenger seat staring out the window as Cody drove. The silence didn't last, to Wade's displeasure, as Cody finally spoke up - asking a question Wade would have preferred being left unasked.

"Are you gay?"

It was a simple question, one that Wade had been asked many times before, but he couldn't help but flush a bright red as Cody took a few quick glances at him. When Wade never replied, Cody sighed.

"You know; there's nothing wrong with being gay or bi. Heck, I'm bisexual."

Wade's head snapped towards Rhodes. "Aren't you getting married in a few weeks?"

"Yeah," Cody grinned. "But it doesn't mean I'm not bi. I love her, but it's not gonna stop me from liking both sexes. It's not like I'm gonna tell anyone, Barrett; you can trust me."

Running a hand through his hair before leaning back in the seat, Wade sighed. He had never told anyone in the WWE anything about him, let alone THAT. "Fine..." Wade closed his eyes, maybe he was being a moron. "I'm gay..."

"See," Cody smiled. "I'm not one to judge..." Neither spoke again but it was an easy silence between them. Wade took a glance at Cody. 'You might not judge...but others do...' Wade thought bitterly before watching the road pass by...

Without even realising it, the whole locker room had emptied. Wade glanced around, no bags, no nothing. He'd been so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't even realised everyone had buggered off. Not that it mattered, Wade could take his time now and get a nice warm shower instead of rushing about when the locker room became a bit too crowded. He was probably the last one left in the arena, it was pretty late already.

Taking his towel from the bag, Wade gently placed the rose down on the bench before heading towards the shower area after kicking off his boots...

(Meanwhile Nearby)

Cody rubbed the back of his head as he walked towards the near by locker room. He was beat. After winning a match earlier that night and then having to do an interview after interview, he felt like collapsing. He knew he was the only one left in the arena so he could take his time, Cody would always try to be the last one at the arenas. It was nice to take a shower by yourself and it wasn't like there was much to go home to, either.

The young Rhodes rubbed his face as he entered the locker room. Things were getting worst for him, and Wade was not making this easy. Over the past few weeks Cody had literally been losing his mind. He wanted nothing more than to push Wade into a corner and fuck his mouth...plus other things. Which was a problem in its self considering that Cody was happily married, well... with a huge stretch of the word 'happily' then that would be it.

Don't get Cody wrong, he loved his wife...just not as much as he thought he did when he first asked her to marry him. He was also pretty sure that she was cheating on him, yet he didn't have any proof and let it slide most of the time. Cody would be too busy thinking of Wade to truly care. That pretty much summed up his relationship with his wife; there was no love left. When Cody did manage to get home after a long night, she'd either be out or up in their shared bed room with a note left on the table saying something like - make your own tea/dinner. Not something Cody wanted to do after working hard to earn money when she did nothing but live off his wages.

Sighing, Cody made his way over to his bag, which just so happened to be under the bench next to Wade's. Cody stopped when he realised that Wade's bag was still there, the rose next to it. He couldn't help but grin knowing that Wade had held the flower.

Suddenly though, Cody was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a noise coming from the shower room. Now that he listened properly, there was water running too. Ignoring his bag, Cody slowly made his way over to where the shower room was located, the door was already partly opened as he came to a halt outside of it. What was that sound?

Wade stood underneath a shower head, the warm water running over his bruised body as he let out a soft moan. His green eyes tightly closed as water washed over his face, the soap suds streaming across his body until they reached the drain. For the first time in a long time, he felt relaxed and even though his body was battered and bruised, it wasn't bothering him.

Although he was relaxed with the warm water calming his tense muscles, he couldn't help but frown as the water continued to pour over him.

Slowly, Wade ran a hand over his chest, the other already settled on his thigh. Allowing his hand to travel down his abs, Wade's breath hitched as he took hold of his already hard member, gently stroking his shaft. His imagination playing out fantasies in his head. Strong hands roaming over his body, light kisses and bites against his neck...

Wade looked down from the ceiling and opened his eyes, not surprised at seeing a pair of dark blue orbs staring back at him. "Cody..." Wade moaned out the younger's name as he began to slowly rock his hips back and forth, seeing Cody smirk at him even though he wasn't really there.

"Bloody hell, Rhodes!" Wade continued to moan as he felt the all too familiar pressure building up in the pits of his stomach. This wasn't the first time his fantasies had taken over, and it sure as hell wasn't the first time thinking about Cody touching him. Wade didn't know why, but he couldn't help it.

Feeling himself getting closer to orgasming, Wade yelled Cody's name before he finally came all over his hand. Panting, and slightly dizzy from all the pleasure, Wade waited a few minutes while he calmed down before cleaning himself up.

Turning off the shower, Wade ran a hand through he hair. He liked Cody, but it was nothing, it could NOT be anything. Cody was married ~ he loved his wife. Even if they did have sex, it would only be for one night...And Wade didn't think he would be able to just forget it ever happened...

So lost in his thoughts, Wade never noticed that the previously closed-door was now fully open and his mobile phone (which had been in his bag) was no longer there. Stretching his arms out, Wade began to get dressed, not feeling a pair of dark blue eyes watching him from a distance...

Finally, the second chapters done! About bloody time. :) So Wade has a powerful imagination and what seems to be a stalker. ;) Cheers for reading and I'm sorry about all the mistakes.
