On the ride to the hotel room, Adam couldn't take his eyes off Phil. John had agreed to drive them, Jeff and Randy following in the second car behind them. Adam and Phil were sitting in the back together, Adam, instead of wearing his seat belt, was lying with his head resting in Phil's lap.

Phil, had only managed to pull on a pair of sweats, but underneath was still clad in his wrestling attire; began stroking Adam's head, gently running his fingers threw Adam's hair.

Adam's eyes began feeling heavy as he struggled to stay awake, cuddling deeper into Phil's lap, slipping an arm around his waist, the other resting on Phil's knee. Adam finally gave in, letting himself fall into a dreamless slumber, still feeling Phil's comforting hands stroking his head and neck tenderly.

He heard muffled voices but couldn't really make out complete sentences over the throbbing of his head.

"...he... -ake..." John's voice had asked.

"...-O He's aslee-..." Then Phil's soft luring seductive voice.

"Shouldn't...-wake him?" John asked again.

"...ope I'll let him..." Phil replied softly.

"Okay..." John answered.

None of it really made any sense to Adam, all he heard was snippets of their conversation, it was confusing to him, so he tried to block it out. He tried focusing on the way Phil rubbed his neck, the slow, deep gentle stroking of his soft fingers over the stress points.

It seemed almost impossible, but Phil was sending him into a deeper sleep... he let go, letting himself drift into a calming place, where everything in the world was right. Everything perfect in this dream world. Adam was no longer with Vickie, and was married to Phil; they had a daughter and lived happily ever after.

Phil, even in the dark saw a peaceful smile spread across Adam's face and couldn't help smiling himself wondering what Adam was dreaming about. He continued stroking Adam's head and gently messaging his neck. He felt terrible for doing this to Adam, but it was a necessary evil.

It was step one. "I'm sorry sunshine" Phil whispered stroking on tattooed finger over Adam's sleeping face. John smiled watching Phil in the rear view mirror as he pulled into the hotel parking lot.

"We're here" He announced with a smirk as he parked the car. Randy and Jeff pulled in beside them as Phil gently shook Adam. "Time to wake up Sunshine... we're here..."

"No... Don't want to" Adam whined burying his face in Phil's crotch. "Copeland unless you want a face full of hard cock, you better stop and get up!" Phil grumbled trying to sound serious.

Adam ignored his warning, muffling his complaints as he pushed his face against Phil's crotch even more firm then before. "Copeland don't put your face there unless you fully intend on putting that mouth of yours to some good use..."

"Dude!" John muttered his nose scrunched up in disgust as he climbed out of the car. Jeff and Randy were already getting out as Phil opened the door, taking his seat belt off.

"Adam... Up. Now!" Phil murmured signaling to Randy and John who wore matching smirks. Randy walked over toward the open door grabbing one of Adam's wrists, John grabbing the other. "One...Two..."

"You hurt my baby and I'll kick your fuckin' ass" Phil warned as Randy huffed letting go of Adam, John on the other hand, attempted to grip under Adam's shoulders, and heave him off of Phil's lap, succeeding in doing so.

Adam, not steady on his feet almost fell face first onto pavement, but Randy and Jeff caught him, each holding him up until Phil climbed out of the car, shutting the door.

"Cena... You're lucky Jeff and Randy caught him..." He growled as John threw up his hands in defense. "I'm sorry..." he muttered as Phil narrowed his eyes pointing towards the trunk.

"Just... Randy help him get the bags will ya..." He murmured slipping an arm around his tired boyfriend's waist. "Kay" Randy grumbled walking to the back of the car and popping the trunk. "You know where the room is right?" Jeff asked as both men nodded. "Good" Phil muttered as he and Jeff guided Adam to the room.

Adam blinked trying to wake himself up, as he, Phil and Jeff stood in the elevator. Phil glanced over at him, catching his gaze, forcing a smile. "Sorry I woke you... you can get more sleep after all is explained... when we get to the room." He murmured as Adam nodded not really sure what to say, not really sure whether he completely trusted Punk anymore.

Phil obviously felt Adam's hesitance so he kept a comfortable distance, giving him his space. The elevator doors slid open with a 'Ding!' as they stepped out walking towards the room. Phil pulled out the key card as they stood in front of the door.

"I-...I-I know you're used to suits and giant hotel rooms but," Phil started as the red light flickered to green. "I... kind of can't really afford to spend THAT much a night… it's pretty basic so..." Phil stopped talking as he opened the door, stepping in, turning on the light.

"After you" Jeff smiled gesturing for Adam to go first. "Thanks" Adam mumbled as he walked in, Jeff following, closing the door behind him.

The room was pretty basic. It had a queen size bed, a TV, A small beat up looking mini fridge, a night stand and a tiny cramped balcony. He looked over seeing Phil's gaze trained on his reaction, as he sat on the edge of the bed.

Adam blinked as he walked over taking a seat next to Phil, scooting so close they're thighs were touching. He slipped an arm around Phil's waist, leaning over and resting his head on Phil's shoulder, as he closed his eyes. Phil immediately responded, wrapping an arm around Adam's shoulders, turning his face, to kiss Adam's head tenderly.

"Phil... Money... doesn't matter to me... I don't care if you have a 'shitty' hotel room cause you can't afford something bigger... point is I'm with you... because... because I love you..." Adam started as Phil smiled kissing Adam on the lips gently.

"I love you too" he murmured as Adam nodded. "I'd like to think you do..." Phil frowned glancing at Adam, but Adam continued. "If I wanted somebody for money... I'd be with John Cena... I mean kids got money, looks... hell who wouldn't want to wake up to tha-" Phil interrupted clearing his throat rather loudly. "Do you have a point?" he asked as Adam smirked.

"Jealous?" Phil narrowed his olive green orbs. "You're damn right I am! Cause I bet that air head would just lovvvv-" Adam cut Phil off by kissing him full on the mouth as Jeff smirked, amused by the whole ordeal.

Adam broke the kiss, but Phil leaned him on the bed, sliding on top, with other plans in mind. Adam's hands slid up and down Phil's back and shoulders, stopping to rest on his plump backside. Adam broke the kiss finally. "You have such... a nice... ass ... you know... that?" Phil chuckled. "Not as nice as yours..."

Jeff coughed clearing his throat. "Sorry Jeff... don't like it? Get the fuck out..." Phil growled but Adam gently pushed him off, poking him in the ribs as he sat up. "Be Nice" he murmured in Phil's ear, causing shudders to go up and down his spine.

"Only because you told me too. And I DO love you... Adam... if I didn't love you... why would go through all this to be reunited with you? If I didn't love you, why not just take the title and bolt?" Phil demanded as a knock sounded at the door. "Well?"

Adam shook his head not quite knowing what to say. Phil nodded kissing Adam's cheek, stroking his other with his hand as he pressed his forehead to Adam's momentarily. "You do know I'd do almost anything for you, don't you?"

Jeff shook his head, nose wrinkled in disgust. "I'm going to get the door, that's way too much mushy shit for me" he muttered as Phil smiled. "It's true. I would die for you Adam..." Phil continued gazing into Adam's teary, bloodshot green orbs. "Do-don't say that Phil..." Adam's chest began heaving as he pushed his face into Phil's neck, openly sobbing.

Phil slipped his arms around Adam's waist holding him tightly to his chest. "I can't... it's so... weird... it's only been a couple weeks but I can't imagine my life without you in it... I wouldn't-"

"Shhh" Phil murmured cutting him off. "No more crying... come on stop crying... don't cry sunshine... it's killing me... Come on... calm down..." he made eye contact with Jeff who held his hand on the door knob.

"Don't let them see you cry anymore..." Adam tried to calm down but it wasn't so easy, the thought of losing Phil, or never having him was simply too much to bear.

Phil sucked in a deep breath. "Addy... tonight has been so hard on you, and most if not all is my fault... maybe we should talk about this tomorrow so you can rest up, you're too emotionally into this right now" Phil murmured stroking Adam's back, tucking his hair behind his ears as Adam finally nodded, agreeing with Phil. Phil glanced over at Jeff. Jeff nodded getting the message as he opened the door and proceeded to tell Randy and John the plan.

"Come on... Take your shoes off" Phil murmured removing Adam's shoes, socks, belt, jeans and shirt. He pulled the blankets back on the bed. "Go ahead, I need a shower" He murmured walking out to get the bags from Jeff, who then left with John and Randy to get a couple rooms. "Thanks" Phil called after them as Jeff nodded. He closed the door, grabbing his shower essentials and disappeared into the bathroom.

Adam nodded off sometime after Phil got in the shower because when he opened his eyes he felt Phil lying next to him. "Hey didn't mean to wake you" Phil whispered kissing Adam's head gently. "Are you hungry... you haven't eaten..."

Adam shrugged nodding his head yes as Phil smiled reaching over to grab the room service menu. "Here... you can have whatever you want..." "No Phil I'm paying for it-"

"Nonsense I am...Shit after EVERYTHING you've gone through today... at least let me pay... please... I insist." Phil murmured leaning up on his elbow as Adam snuggled deeper into his chest.

"Okay... but you insisted".

"Yes I did" Phil smiled grabbing the phone.

"You're stubborn..."

"And you love me for it..."

"Yes I do" Adam smiled as Phil ordered they're food.
