Sorry about the wait, but a lot of stuff has been happening lately and I got side tracked ;) By the way, Cody's wife, Brandi, will be in the next chapter. Enjoy :)

Deepest Desires. Chapter 4 : Taking Thing's To The Extreme.
Cody sat by himself on a grassy type of hill part nearby the arena where the WWE was going to be taping their next show which would take place within only a few hours.
The young male was looking at a phone in his hands, reading messages and emails, "snooping around," some would say considering that the phone he was looking at did not belong to him. It belonged to none other than Bad News Barrett himself. Cody knew it was wrong, that he was disrespecting Wade's privacy, but he couldn't help but read every message that came from a guy's name, even some from girl's names, in fear that they came from a lover. Luckily, they had just been from good friends or family members.
After scanning through the rest of the messages and emails, Cody was just about to click on "Images" when he heard his name be called.
"Cody," looking up, the dark, blue-eyed Rhodes saw Renée Young heading his way. Hiding the phone quickly, Cody smiled at the small, blond woman.
"Hey, Young; what's up?" He asked as she gently sat down next to him on the floor, not worried about getting her clothes dirty.
"I could ask you the same thing, what's up with you and Wade?" She tilted her head to the side. "You two used to be so close, now Wade looks as though he wants to run whenever I mention your name..."
Cody looked down at the ground, picking at the grass. It had been almost a week since Cody had last saw Wade, the Brit being drunk for the most of it. Wade had gone home to England for something a day later, Cody wasn't sure what, Wade barely spoke to him anymore. Guess it was his own fault, he should have just tried to get over it, but somehow he just couldn't. Even Brandi was starting to see a change, that something wasn't right, so it shouldn't have been a surprise that Renee knew something was up too.
"Some stuff happened..." Cody mumbled, leaning back on his elbows to look up at the blue sky.
"Some stuff?" Renee followed suit, but lay on her side instead and faced Cody. "Aw, did you two have a fight?" She giggled, squealing slightly.
"...You could say that..."
"Really?" She seemed surprised. "...Maybe you should apologise. .."
Cody gave a half glare. "Why do I have to apologise?!"
Renee sighed and rolled her eyes. "Men..." She muttered before continuing. "Because Wade won't apologise, and whatever "stuff" happened between you two; is it worth ruining a perfectly good friendship?" Renee questioned, falling onto her back as she looked at the clouds. "Wade's strange, he acts big, talks the talk and isn't afraid of telling someone what he thinks. But if you ask me, he's really more like an alone, scarred puppy..."
"How so?" Cody asked, not making eye contact anymore.
"Well, he wears a mask, he doesn't want people to know when he's hurt. He'd rather put on a face than admit he's feelings. What do puppies do when they're scarred? They either hide their fear or they bite you, either that or hide all together." The blonde sat up suddenly. "Sometimes I think he's scarred of feeling...well, human. Maybe it's because he used to fight in a pit, did you ever notice how he used to flinch when someone touched him?" She looked at Cody. "But when you two started working together, he started to change; he stopped flinching whenever someone touched him, he started to be more human - all thanks to you, Cody; so whatever happened - is it worth losing someone who, may not show it, but trusts you more than you'll ever know?"
With that said, she stood up and dusted herself off, smiling brightly at Cody. "You mean more to Wade than he can show, trust me on that. Oh, and one more thing..."
Cody glanced up at Renee who smirked and reached out her hand. "Phone."
"What?!"
"Give me Wade's phone," she rolled her eyes. "You found it, right?" She said in a fake voice, like she was trying to pretend or something. "I'll give it to Wade after the show, it might be best coming from me than you..." She winked and Cody slowly passed her the phone.
"Yeah, I found it..." Cody responded, scratching the back of his neck.
"Good," The blonde began to walk away. "By the way, Wade's just arrived at the arena," she turned back and gave a mother like look. "Remember to apologise." She turned and left.
Cody sighed; had it been worth it? Telling Wade that he wanted him? Had he ruined the only good thing that had ever happened to him? Had he ruined his bound with Wade? All for what; sex?
"I'm such an idiot..." Cody got up and began to walk towards the arena as well. "I'll make it up to you, Wade; I promise..."
The flight back to America had been a long one and Wade couldn't help but feel a bit sick, he was already missing his home and was tired which didn't help things; worst of all - he had a match against RVD and Sheamus later that night. He supposed it wasn't all bad, Cesaro was his tag team partner and him and the bold man were friends, well, in a way - at least they weren't enemies. Yet.
Yawning slightly, Wade opened the locker room door and gently kicked it closed behind himself as he walked in, placing his bag down on a bench. He was surprised that no one else was in there, but he figured they were all having lunch before warming up for the show.
Grasping the bottom of his dark green t-shirt, Wade slowly pulled it over his head; he needed something to keep him awake. Weakly throwing it into his bag, Wade noticed a blue bag not far from where he had placed his with the initials 'C.R' on them.
"Rhodes..." Wade mumbled as he pulled out his wrestling gear. Over the past few day of being in England to see his family, Wade had done nothing but think about the younger male, cursing himself for it. Even his older brother had moaned at him, Wade had been talking about Cody a lot, and sharing a room wasn't the best of ideas...
Wade couldn't help but think that Brandi, Cody's wife, was one hell of a lucky woman. He also couldn't help the fact that he felt a strange feeling whenever he thought about Brandi grabbing Cody's arm or kissing him. Whenever Brandi came to the arena and Wade was with Cody, she would make it her personal mission to kiss Cody so much in front of Wade that the Brit was surprised that either of them managed to breath.
Wade shook his head, frowning deeply; it was like a sudden rage washed over him. Almost like he was...jealous?...
Just as Wade began to unbuckle his jeans, he jumped as someone grabbed his shoulder.
Turning around as fast as he could, Wade came face to face with his soon to be tag team partner who was staring back at him. However, as Wade turned around, the back of his leg hit the bench and he went to fall back, Antonio grabbed his waist and pulled Wade up to his chest.
"Good evening, Wade..." Cesaro said politely, smiling down at him.
Wade's breath caught in the back of his throat at how close he was to the other superstars face, his waist still being held tightly as deep, brown eyes looked him over. Had Wade been so lost in thought that he never heard the door open? Or had Cesaro been there the entire time?!
"I did not mean to scare you," Antonio continued, his hands firmly holding Wade's hips.
"Y-You didn't scare me," Wade responded, clearly lying to which the King Of Swiss chuckled. "What's so bloody funny?!"
"You are adorable when you lie, even more so when you pout."
Wade was sure his face was redder than a cherry. He couldn't help but stutter out words that no one could posibly understand. Shaking his head, Wade tried to stand up properly, but with his jeans unbuckled and Antonio hands just above them, they fall down making Wade blush more as Cesaro decided to pull him more to his chest - his lips so close -
Before Wade could even think about what was happening, the locker room door banged open and in came a storming Cody Rhodes...
Cheers for reading and I hope it wasn't too bad XD Just a warning that I might not be making anymore one-shots for a while and that it might take me even LONGER to update this next. The place that I go to school at is closing and I'm taking it hard, so bare with me. I will try to not take so long though, but I'm just warning you all in case you don't hear from me for a while - I'm not abandoning this story or any of my work, promise. :)
