Chapter 08

Smackdown

(October 10th 2008, Spokane)

Jeff had some trouble focusing when the alarm went off, Matt was in a little better shape and pulled him along, Jeff had just finished getting dressed and was packing his stuff when there was a knock on the door, Matt being in the bathroom he went and opened the door, seeing Mark stand there he smiled weakly, his loss still vivid in his mind "Hey", "How are you feeling kid", "Dead", "Jeff", "No, seriously, empty besides all the diverse pains, pains I have plenty", "You've taken something already", a proud twinkle made it to his eyes "Nope, hence the pain Mark", Mark studied the younger man and entered, opening his own bag and taking out two pills he put in Jeff's hand "Here, will help you ease them", "I'm allowed to take them?", "Yes, you are, I gave them to you", "And if Vince has me tested", "He won't say anything", "Ok", Glen patted Mark's shoulder when Jeff was in the bathroom taking them "You can be proud of him", "Yeah, but I prefer staying humble for now, once he has the gold I'll brag"

They had a quick breakfast and parted into the cars they had rented, Mark driving in one car with Glen, Shawn, Jeff and Matt, Hunter had Rey, Phil, Kofi and Dave with him, the others somehow managed to split up too and they could finally leave…

After a couple of minutes on the road Jeff looked at Shawn "You remember that discussion where you said it wasn't the right time to tell me", after a short moment Shawn nodded "Yeah", "Wanna talk about it now?", "Here? With them around", Jeff motioned to his brother who had his eyes closed and was listen to music, both Glen and Mark were in a discussion, Shawn grinned "Ok, but I won't give you all the names at once… Let's see… There was Marty, Bret, Mark too, Glen here in front of me, Hunter…", Jeff had blushed which made him chuckle "Yeah, after two guys, oh excuse-me three guys you think you're the backstage slut, you've seen nothing yet Jeff, as long as it is discrete and not the whole locker room knows afterwards it's completely ok", Mark had casted glances back and had started listening, he smirked amused "Yeah Jeff, discrete… Not like you and Randy yesterday"

Jeff blushed fully and gasped "You… You heard us?", "Loud and clear Jeff", "Shit", "Nobody else did though, you should just watch it", Jeff looked at his brother and sighed in relief, he hadn't moved and didn't look as if he had heard anything, he whispered "We just gave each other blow-jobs, didn't fuck or anything", "You and that prick, who would have thought", "Well Shawn, he gives great head", "And you manage to say that without blushing more, congrats, you're becoming as depraved as we are Hardy", the ride didn't take long and since they had decided to stay in Seattle for a day before moving on to Spokane they first moved to their hotel, the same who rooming with whom game starting the second they stood in the hall of the hotel…

Mark sighed, tired and bruised, his mood not the best, Hunter laughed his ass off mainly at Jeff and Matt, after days of rooming with his brother Jeff wanted either Glen or Mark, or even Shawn just not his brother, Brian smirked "At least I know who I'll room with, you guys and your constant drama", both Hardy's were at his throat, glaring at Ezekiel standing in front of them, Brian hiding behind him "I'll give you drama, why don't you send your boyfriend away for a minute so that I can show you drama", Jeff never saw it come but winced, Mark had slapped him on the head and was now pulling him along "You're rooming with me brat", Jeff gave the Deadman a large grin "Yes, I won", "Oh no, you lost, I'll give you a good spanking", "Can't wait Mark", Matt a little impressed by Glen's glare and size popping up in front of him didn't move "How about we exchange brothers", "Glen I don't know", "Hey, I won't harm you, besides, whoelse you want to room with Hardy", "Ok, but don't annoy me", "I can't be worse than Jeff", "I hope so", Shawn was glad he saw Jericho check in with Lance and whispered to Hunter "At one point or another I'll need for you to keep Lance busy", "That point now?", "No", "Good", Shawn grinned "But soon"

Those wrestlers not being with Raw joined the others at the arena, Hunter wanting to keep an eye on Shawn and Jericho, Jeff not having anything else to do, as was Mark, they acted as if they were the kings and took a couch to the screen and got comfortable, ignoring the glares from the Raw wrestlers who were taken their space…

Jericho paraded his belt and his arrogance to the ring, and deep down he was glad he hadn't seen Shawn after his last night visit and started his speech, making a couple of people backstage brawl for being the one to go out and shut him up, Shawn leaning back after a while "I'll get him differently", next Hunter pulled Jeff back "You have bigger fish to fry kid, focus", as Jeff was glaring at Hunter, Matt and Dave stared at each other until Matt handed Dave the mic "Go and scare him, bomb him, hurt him", "Oh I will, but not because you ask for it, but because I'm the number one contender Matt", they all sat down comfortably and watched Dave, both Shawn and Jeff looking at each other and admiring the body grinning, make his way to the ring and Chris frown not amused nor feeling safe, it was making their day, or better night that Jericho had the Animal in his face, but after a while he started getting pretty cocky and hearing his words Hunter looked at Shawn "Seems the fucker hasn't understood what you've been telling him", "No, seems he needs the readjustement pretty quick"

Mark added "Well I think Dave will give him his first very soon", and Dave was, he was pondering if he should say something, what to say but he just could laugh at Chris' ignorance and in his eyes stupidity, stepping closer he pushed the laughter back "Let me explain a couple of things to you, one, whether you like it or not you're gonna defend that world heavyweight title against me and two" and then Chris went down without Dave even letting go of the mic, but Chris being Chris and unfortunately in charge he put him yet again in a match against John Bradshaw, Dave nearly back on the way to the ring if it hadn't been for Hunter who had gotten up to call Mike Adamle and tell him to move his ass over since Jericho was apparently using his position for his own twisted needs and in his favour, and who had had the reflexe to grab Batista by the waist "Don't, he'll just enjoy pissing you off even more, don't, he won't get through with it", "I have no problem pinning John again", "Yeah I know that, but with Chris as referee I'm not so sure anymore", "I will", "Ok, glad because you deserve it, not John"

Dave took of to get dressed and ready and Hunter to make his phone-call, Jeff who had no match and actually no need to be there stayed with Mark on the couch, yawning from time to time "Tired Jeff?", "Yes, which is actually a stupid question since I yawn, but also seeing Santino", "Oh is that so", "Yes, it is, he makes me drowsy", Mark started to massage Jeff's back absent-mindedly, fact that DiBiase quoted mumbling and made Jeff stretch and kick him "Say that again you asshole", "What? Looking for trouble?", Mark just didn't say a word but just observed, he didn't have to say anything anyways since Kofi and Punk arrived "Trouble? Where? Oh, right in front of us", Jeff jumped up "Guys, need a third man out there?", "Against them? Think they could pull a stunt? Don't think so", "Ok, good luck man", Mark squeezed Jeff's neck and pulled him back down "First Batista now DiBiase, at least you're going down in size", "Dave is a cool guy", "Yeah, so what's that with you and him? Anything going on?", "No, why", "Because I overheard you and Shawn talk yesterday", "No, nothing going on", "Ok"

After Hunter's phonecall Adamle had rushed to the arena, more than annoyed and taken a mic, his words made Hunter smirked "Ouch, poor Chris, his life just took a downward turn", Shawn just shrugged his shoulders grinning "Yes, and it ain't finished yet, oh no, far from finished"

They all called it a night early, not having had much sleep last night plus the PPV was just too much, Jeff was yawning when Mark came out of the bathroom but with a mischievious smirk asked "Can I see it?", "See what?", "Oh come on, you know what", Mark smirked and in one motion pulled his boxers down, throwing them on a nearby chair and walked up to Jeff who was sitting on the edge of the bed "You look, you suck", "I can live with that", Jeff put one hand on his hip and the other on his dick and checked the piercing out, Mark shivering under the gaze he saw Jeff give it and before he could make a comment he felt his tongue leap out and lick around it and play with it, looking at Mark and how he was licking his lips, head leaned a little back and eyes locked on Jeff made him hard in a heartbeat, Jeff pulled him down and sat next to him, his tongue still swirling around the piercing before he took him further in and sucked…

Mark leaned on his shoulders, his hands playing with Jeff's hair "Humm yes kid", Jeff moved higher, licking and sucking every inch of skin his tongue could reach until he found willing lips and he kissed the Deadman, whispering as he was biting softly on his earlobe "I wanna feel it in me Mark, now… Need it…", hearing Jeff talk like that made Mark push him powerfully back and push his legs apart and in one trust he penetrated him, moaning at the thightness that was engulfing him, Jeff was in heaven and moving his hips so Mark would slide even deeper "Please Mark…", Mark had to admit that not moving wasn't doing him any good either and started pounding into him, Jeff's arms gripping his arms and his head flying from left to right on the pillow, one hand moved down and he started stroking himself, his moans loud and his body moving in time with Mark's…

Not for long, when he felt Mark spill himself inside and how he came hard too, his head collapsing back as Mark pulled out and laid down next to him "Too good", "Yeah, you really know what to do with that cock of yours Mark", "Don't talk naughty now, or you'll make me want you again", Jeff giggled, snuggling closer "I wouldn't mind, you can want me as often as you like you know", "You know what?", "Nope", "We should invite Glen to this sometime", "Hummm, don't tempt me like that", "Oh, it's no tempting act kid", Jeff yawned his head resting on Mark's chest "Can't wait, hope he'll accept", "Oh I think he will", they fell asleep after a couple of minutes of talking about how it would be…

They took off for Spokane in the late morning, most of them had to be there for Friday but since Phil, Kofi, Mike and some others had to be there tonight they had decided to all share a ride again and move again after just one day in Seattle, Jeff snuggling between Shawn and Matt and dozing they weren't even out of Seattle, Matt and Shawn had to live in restraint space but Hunter who was riding with them handed them a ballpen "He'll never do it again", "Knowing my bro he'll find it cool and do it again", Jeff opened his eyes "I'm not asleep yet, start plotting when I am you losers", he sat up and pouted "I didn't get much sleep", Mark chuckled "And who's fault is that kid", "Yours"

Matt pulled a frown, Jeff saving the mood by rapidly coming up with something "We talked about moves that could work against Kozlov", Shawn giggled "Oh I'm sure those moves will bring the big guy down", they stopped for lunch on the road then continued, Jeff moving in with Mark, Shawn with Hunter, Glen with Matt again, Kofi and Phil were anyways attached at the hip as were Dave and Rey, Shawn was yet again happy to see Jericho and Lance check-in together, they moved their belongings to their rooms, making space for the other wrestlers to check-in…

Jeff laid down and he wasn't the only one, completely drained of every energy, and since they wanted to go clubbing in the evening he skipped a tour around town, as did Mark who needed some rest too and Hunter, Shawn stayed too, they passed a good part of the afternoon discussing Jericho, Mark woke Jeff around seven being greeted by a hand that pushed his face away, he unceremonly pulled him off the bed "You shouldn't do that Jeff… I was nice enough to wake you so you can get ready in time", "You suck, you just hurt me", "Poor baby, now seriously Hardy, we'll meet with the others in an hour, you can of course continue sleeping, it's up to you", "Yeah, but you could have said it nicer", "And could have objected nicer"

The week passed quickly, between bickering and working out they had a good time, Jeff hanging often with Dave at the gym to "upgrade" his muscles as he called it…

Jeff left the others at the catering, looking for Hunter and finding him sitting in the lockerroom, playing around with his phone, he sat down next to him and leaned a little over to check what he was busy with, Hunter wondering what Jeff was doing there but first showing him what his dilemma was "Ah man that's a tough decision", Jeff cut straight to the chase, he had had so many teasings and mockeries by Hunter that he had decided to do just the same "But hey man, I watched our match back from last Sunday, I thought it was amazing, I brought it, but you brought it better, now I think it's totally unfair that you have to defend your championship tonight, against somebody like the Big Show … I mean five days after No Mercy, that's insane.. But hey man, I wanna wish you luck"

Jeff got up, not keeping slapping Hunter's thigh back, was way too enticing to touch the man, Hunter following with his gaze "Thank you man, I appreciate it", Jeff suddenly coming back and getting back down, Hunter frowning a little as he started "And also I wanna let you know whoever wins your match tonight, which I honestly doubt it will be you, I'm gonna make a challenge to the winner… Go get 'em…", Jeff just enjoyed the look on his face and slapped his thigh again, leaving a large grin on his face, Hunter looked after him, leaning back and smirking, stupid kid and his cockiness, he had to do that, he just had, and he left Hunter no other choice as to soon do something against him if he continued like that…

Jeff had gone back to the screen and was waiting for his match to start, again against Montel, it started to become a routine, Hunter or Montel, sometimes Brian, he was excited but not really nervous, he could feel some bruises MVP gave him but in the end Jeff finished Montel off with what he did best, a Swanton and pinned him, grinning that he had beaten him yet again, poor Montel was on a losing streak against him like he was with Hunter, he was catching his breathe and enjoying the moment when a music erupted that just pissed him off to the core, how many times would Kozlov do that, arrive when he had just finished a match to add some more pain, he panted and tried to recuperate for what he knew now would come and watched him make his way to the ring, motioning for him to attack and ending knocked down on the mat…

He winced when he was forcefully pulled to see a doc by Mark who made a mental note to have a little discussion with Vladimir later, those attacks after matches on everybody had to cease, and all because of Vickie, he sighed startling Jeff "What? I won my match, don't sigh", "I was thinking about Kozlov and why he does that", "He wants to show he's the champ that's all", "You've becoming all mature, congrats Jeff", "Hey, I never did something to him, hell I haven't talked with the guy outside the ring, and then he comes and just knocks me down with all his strength, everytime, I don't know, either I pissed him off without knowing or he's after the same thing I am", Jeff gasped when a cooling spray was applied to his chest but that didn't stop him from continuing "And Mark, I won't let him have it, forget about that, I'll fight for what is mine, mine", Mark smirked "I'm glad you see it that way and now hold still and let them finish", it took another ten minutes for the poor man to get Hardy all set and another ten for him to arrive to the screen, he got changed first, and sat down next to Mark who slapped him on the shoulder "You've got your match against Kozlov kid", "You're serious?", "Yes", "Finally, I'll give him a lesson", "Yes, don't get too hyper Jeff, think before celebrating", "Yeah, I'll need a strategy, I know that"

Hunter stopped next to them, thinking a second if he should or not talk openly, but then sat down on the edge of the couch and sighed dramatically "I so don't wanna wrestle tonight", Jeff gave him a thumbs up, smiling and knowing he had won Hunter's friendship back at least a little "Oh come on, you can do that, just go out there and do what you always do", "Funny brat, very funny… But don't forget, you challenged me again, so you better go and start preparing, now that I've seen your best, I want to see you surpass that level", before Jeff could answer there was a bark "Well move your ass to the ring Game and I'll show you best, surpassing and level, all in one", the Big Show was hoovering behind Hunter all menacing which made Hunter smirk, he gave Jeff a little smile "And you better listen to him, you issued a challenge, I'm accepting, Butterfly", Hunter laughed and mouthing "butterfly, that's a good one" walked away to make his entrance, Jeff a little shocked "What did you call me", Big Show patted him and snickered "Bug Hardy, bug", Mark had to restrain Jeff from jumping up and going at him "Not one more this week kid, we have Batista, Jericho, Kozlov, oh yes and Brian, not him there too, please, he's annoying enough as it is", Big Show snarled and made his way to the ring…

Mark smiling enigmatically "Relax Jeff, he's getting his punishment served tonight", "What are you talking about", "You'll see kid", they watched the match, Jeff wincing when Hunter tried a Pedigree on Show and ended crushed under the over 400 pound man "Ouch, that not cool", what followed wasn't either but Jeff got disturbed by Shawn giving him a wicked grin as Mark got up "What?", "Oh, you'll see", no one knew how Mark did it, well, besides Mark, and Glen, and some other people, but no one really cared either, Jeff just stared when Mark disappeared and he looked at Shawn "Ok, that's not funny", "You look pale Jeff", "Yes, did he just do that?", "Yup", "How?", "Only he knows", "Damn, that's one sick move", "Yes, scary ha", "Yeah", Jeff was having his obligatory goosebumps hearing the unmistakable gong sound which made his brother laugh as he got down behind Jeff, making jump even more "You're a jackass", "And you're shivering", "Yeah so, I always do, and if you had seen what I just saw", "What? The Undertaker doing his disappearing act?", "You saw it?", "Was just coming down the hallway", "That's just one thing I want to learn", "Why, wanna disappear and land your Swanton unseen?"

To Mark it was just way too much fun and hearing the crowd go wild he did it a second time, knowing he probably had Show freaking by now, Hunter was trying to catch his breathe, and being suddenly surrounded by darkness and hearing the gong he knew they had company and he didn't mind a bit, Mark had issues with the other Paul, but he had to grin when it happened again knowing how much Show hated those little games, for the sheer fun Mark just repeated it thinking it would be the right lesson for the bigger man, he had acted like a real asshole lately and this would set him at least a little straight…

In the ring Hunter was getting slowly up and backstage Jeff was enjoying the shivers that ran down his spine when he saw someone pass he'd rather not have seen again tonight, he straightened "Don't tell me that that ass now goes out and attacks Hunter?", Kozlov had made it to the ring but for now Hunter managed to dodge and punch back, but trying that Pedigree seemed like a bad idea, unfortunately that only came to him when Kozlov reversed it and butted Hunter down the same way he had done earlier with Jeff, and Jeff had had enough and had ripped out of the grip his brother was holding him in and was running to the ring, enough was enough, his heart was beating fast and he knew it would again be painful, but it was rage that was driving him and he pushed any fear away…

His arrival caused a pretty commotion, the crowd going wild and Kozlov turning to see him come at him, Jeff didn't see it come, before he actually could do something he felt his shoulder connect hard with him and he flew to the mat, but rage fueled him and not only him, he jumped Kozlov from behind, Hunter joining him and they kicked him out of the ring, Kozlov stared at them, mainly at Hunter who was leaning in the cords and was taunting him to come back…

It was something in Kozlov's look that made him snap, the "It's-between-the-Game-and-me-you-baby"-look, Jeff performed a nice Twist of Faith on Hunter and took his position in the cords, asking Kozlov to come back, and he really hoped he would, backstage Matt winced and Mark and Shawn laughed their asses off, Hunter had vaguely registred that Jeff was yelling at Kozlov, but hearing his music being played just made him wince even more, he was seriously becoming a plague, an evil that was constantly crawling up and not letting him have his way, well Hunter had to admit he had to thank him for interrupting Kozlov and the torture, but the Twist of Faith had been just too much, and arriving backstage he glared like a madman and went straight at Jeff who managed to jump backwards over the couch but wasn't fast enough and ended in Hunter's grip and pushed into a wall "Ok, I've had it Jeff, this has to stop, that fucking Twist hurts, it's not fun to be on the receiving end for nothing kid", and before Jeff could agree he felt grabbed and Hunter copied the move, lifting a hissing Jeff up afterwards "See, it hurts you asshole"

Mark was shaking his head and helping Shawn to keep Matt back who wanted to help his brother "You're insane", "Me? He just did it again, it's not as if I had warned him", "Don't scream… Ouch, you seriously hurt me there", "Well, here's the news, you did too", "Sorry", "Oh no, no sorry kid", Hunter pulled Jeff to the couch and sat down, Jeff bend over his knees "Hey no way Hunter, fuck this", Jeff tried to wiggle his way out of the spanking but Hunter's hand managed to slap down four times before he pushed off, everybody laughing their asses off "You so suck", "Yeah, so next time before attacking me like that again, think", Jeff grinned "No, next time I'll add a Swanton to it"

Hunter got up, needing a shower and a change of clothes "Yeah, well next week you better be ready to take out Kozlov kid", "I will", walking away he gave him an intense stare-down before disappearing around the corner "Of course, I just need you to show me", when Hunter was gone Jeff patted his ass "Ouch, he sucks damn, it stings", "Well, it was really uncalled for this time Jeff", "No, it was to intimidate Kozlov", "I think you won't be able of intimidating that guy in this lifetime kid", "Thank you Mark", they waited for Hunter to arrive and made it to the hotel for a late dinner…
