Chapter 13 Part 1
Raw 800th
November 3rd 2008
Tampa
Jeff woke when the alarm went off and sweared, he hadn't really slept well and still felt exhausted, Matt grinning at him as he had gotten up a little earlier and had already taken a shower "Good morning sleepyhead", hiding his head in the pillow and pulling the cover over himself Jeff mumbled "What time is it?", "Nine thirty bro, so you're still got a little time", Jeff stretched and yawned and curled up, closing his eyes again "Jeff, come on, get up", "Twenty minutes", "Bro", "Please?", "Ok, I'll check my mails and I'll wake you", "Thank you, you're too kind", Jeff had the feeling the twenty minutes, actually Matt had given him a good half hour, had passed in a second, and getting dressed he had a huge frown on his face "Oh come on bro", "I'm dead", "We have a match together", "I know, and that's the only thing getting me to move my ass", "And the fact you wanted to dye your hair Jeff", "Damn, yeah, thanx for reminding me"
Jeff arrived at the breakfast table at ten fifteen wearing shades and grumbling more than actually speaking, he sat down with only coffee and got smirks as rewards "No good night Jeff?", "No, nine hours of sleep and I'm feeling like dead", "Not good, got a match…", Jeff interrupted Shawn "Yeah I know, thank you", "You can still rest this afternoon", "I was not thinking of anything else", since Mark and Hunter decided that they would leave around ten thirty, that's when they left, Jeff driving with Mark on his bike that had been travelling with some of the equipment and had been delivered the night before so he could relax a little, Glen, Matt and Shawn in a car with Hunter…
Mark and Jeff arrived ahead of the others and got comfortable in their respective locker rooms, Mark making it to Vince's office for a match tonight, he was more than pissed at JBL for having attacked Shawn a couple of days prior and wanted to punish him personally, Vince agreed and Mark left his office again to go and inhale the eerie empty-arena atmosphere, Jeff was sharing one with his brother, Phil, Kofi, Rey and Shawn, Glen with Mark and Hunter, it had been Vince's call, Steve had quoted it with "bullshit" not understanding why the guys couldn't choose themselves, Jeff had only put his bag down and had joined Mark at ringside, chilling in the empty arena and watching the ring being build up, after ten minutes they started hearing commotion and knew the others had arrived too…
They met with Hunter, Shawn, Matt and the others at the catering area and indulged in Vince's last instructions, which they knew would change throughout the afternoon anyways, but at least he was bugging them and feeling good, after their lunch Jeff found himself a little spot to curl down and take a nap in his locker room, Matt woke him around four, shaking him softly "Hey bro… Wake up", "Humm… Go away", "Jeff, you should start waking", "No", Matt shook him and pulled him into his arms, actually sitting down with Jeff nearly all the way in his lap "Yes", Jeff got comfortable against him and yawned "You are so mean", "You always used to say that", "Then it has to be true", Jeff stretched and put a kiss on Matt's cheek "Thank you Matt", "For?", "Being there for me", Matt hugged him "You're my brother, you're a freak, but that only makes me love you more… Need help with your hair?", "Yes, please"
Mark came looking for Jeff, he couldn't admit it so he didn't act anything but Undertaker'ish and blasted in, Jeff sitting there, a little bored and waiting for his hair to be dyed and surfing on the net on his brother's pc "Hey Mark", "Jeff, you ok?", "Yeah, this shit needs to soak in another ten minutes and then I can finally start to get ready", "You've got over two hours to go Jeff, relax, I just needed a place without my brother", "Glen?", "Uh, he's the only brother I know of", "What did he do?", Mark sat down and rolled his eyes "Rey…", "Damn", "Yup, do you know why they hate each other?", "No, never said anything, nor Dave for the matter", "Oh yes, Dave, he found you when you slept", "This his sweater?", "I suppose… I think he likes you", "Stop it", "Geez Jeff, relax, I'm not attacking you, don't get snappy", "I'm not snappy", "Oh yes you are"
Both Matt and Mark helped Jeff wash the dye out of his hair, and left him alone to change, Mark getting ready in his locker room and Matt next to Jeff, hearing the music blast out of his headphones, he pulled them out, Jeff startled, turning to him "Sorry, you're gonna go deaf", "No, I will die on a heart attack caused by you", "Sorry, it was way to loud", "It was perfect", Phil handed Jeff small amps "Plug it to them… We can all hear it", ten seconds later everybody could listen to Jeff's demo as they changed…
Randy was the first up, he was still angry and pissed and was quite unbearable, he passed Jeff who grinned at him and got a smirk in return "You're checking me out Hardy?", "Never would do that, what are you up to", "I just want Steph and Shane to talk to me", Matt frowned a little, all he wanted to do is have the match with his brother at his side, not Orton somewhere in range "Uh, you know we're up now, right", "I won't bug you guys, I'll just be there, I need to talk to them, really…", stopping and turning, Randy locked eyes with Jeff and softly whispered "…Oh and Jeff, great facepaint", Jeff smirked as Randy got to the ring and announced what he had to say, commenting it "He has a huge attention problem, he always wants to be the center of it", "I just hope he stays out of our match", "Why would he intervene?", "Cause he's an ass", "No, don't think so" Randy finished then got as comfortable as he could at ring side and watched the brothers enter…
Jeff and Matt enjoyed their entrance, both fueled up and ready to annihilate Brian and Montel, Matt locked eyes with Randy for a moment and gave him an sarcastic grin, Randy grinning just as sickly back, Matt felt Jeff pass by his back and he knew his younger brother was on the turnbuckle, a silly jump as he always called it, he had been there to witness him try and perfection it and had seen him drop, and sometimes hurt himself, so many times he had always believed Jeff would never be able to do it, even if never and impossible were foreign to what caracterized his younger brother, what he didn't see was the little smile Jeff and Randy exchanged, Randy wondering, like always when Jeff jumped up like that how he managed to keep his balance and trying to find it out, his eyes locked first on Jeff's butt before travelling up his body and locking with his eyes and imagining what it would be to be in a bed with him in a non-hostile situation, as far as he remembered Jeff, he was a dot that became bigger and crushed full weight on top of him…
Randy was genuinly grinning back when Matt locked eyes with him too but started to frown when he saw the Highlight they were showing, Jeff's great flight down on him on January 14th, Jeff smirked, remembering it and quite astonished that Vince would show a match with him competing as a Highlight and he looked at Randy, flashing him a magnificent smirk nodding, Randy responded by nodding too, there was definetely nothing to say about that move and he had long forgiven the younger Hardy for having had the guts to pull it off, and when alone had to admit it gave him the hots for Jeff…
Montel arrived before Brian and Ezekiel, preferring to wait for entering the ring, not like Brian who just entered and danced teasingly through the ring, the match started with Montel and Jeff, Jeff mouthing back when Montel started his dirty talk, he had beaten him so many times he knew this would be a walk in the park, but Montel countered pretty rapidly, he had a couple of muscles on Jeff and in a straightly strength game Jeff was bound to end up on the mat, but Jeff was quicker and got his brother tagged in, they double-teamed him and Matt went for the pin, Montel managed to buck out, Matt tagging his brother back in…
Jeff was pinning Montel and Brian got close, trying to reach and pull his hair but Montel bucked out anyways, Jeff trying to grab Brian who got out of his way very fast smirking, but got tagged in by Montel after MVP got out of a move and made Jeff crush on his back, Brian started targetting Jeff's already hurting back, kicking him and doing his best to not let him tag Matt in, whispering "Sorry gorgous", after a kick to temple Jeff was a little out and was trying to catch his breath, he felt Kendrick pin him again "You're kidding me", "No no", "Oh yes", Jeff reversed the situation and tagged Matt back in, Jeff laying on the ring border and panting, Brian tagging Montel back in…
Matt didn't like Montel more than Jeff did and made him suffer, getting Brian down too when he tried to intervene, and continued on punishing Montel, unfortunately the pin got interrupted by Kendrick and a kick to Matt's head, luckily for Matt it didn't hurt as much as it was intended to, and kharma struck back… Jeff performed his Swanton, it was completely illegal but Brian and Montel had pulled stunts like that too, he rolled out at the speed of light, Matt going for the pin and getting the win, they both were grinning, completely happy and content with their achievement, Randy nodded with a smirk on his face as Jeff was catching his breath outside the ring and mouthed discretely to him "Hope you won't have to sit there for too long", there was a short flicker of a smile on Randy's face as he mouthed back "I'll manage… Great match Jeff, you and your brother rock"
Jeff and Matt came backstage completely happy and laughing, Shawn grinning "Nice match guys", "Thanx", William Regal, standing there ready for his match nodded, patting Jeff's shoulder "Another great match, good work Jeff", "Thanx Darren… Good luck with the Battle-Royal man", "Thank you kid", Jeff walked up to Shawn who had changed into his D-Generation X attire and was jumping around like a maniac "Shawn, that ex-protégé of yours is a little too cocky", the person in question arrived, Ezekiel at his side, Shawn grabbed Brian into a headlock and ruffled through his hair, laughing "Yeah ha, did a perfect job on this one", Brian giggled and gave Shawn a sappy and overdone kiss on the cheek before detaching and dancing around them "I am just the cutest and the best… And now I'm heading off to take a shower, if someone wants to join me, by all means do it", and he strutted off, with a grim looking Ezekiel on his tail…
Jeff laughed, tears in his eyes "He's nuts", "Yes, says you ha", "Hey, I don't invite everyone to my shower", "You should", "No, the only one who can join me is Matt", Shawn made some funny sounds, laughing "Now that is something new, I thought Matt wasn't into guys", Matt frowned, one arm around Jeff's neck "Screw you, you perverted prick", he pulled his brother along to their locker room "I can't believe he said that", "Relax Matt, you know how Shawn is, he was joking", Matt pulled a frown and pushed Jeff inside "I know, but still, the thought of it…", Jeff gave him an angelic smile and a nice spank to the butt "What, you've got a nice ass Matt", "JEFF", Jeff smirked amused "Sorry bro, anyways Dave's is nicer", "JEFF", Kofi and Phil were sitting there and talking and both started laughing, Jeff smirking "I swear you guys, Dave's ass should be illegal, but really illegal", "Thank you for the information", "Soft skin, rockhard muscles all over the place", "Jeff, please, stop it, I wouldn't want to have to hear you go through all of his anatomy", Jeff started undressing and headed of to the shower room, laughing "Your loss Matt"
Jeff burst out laughing, sitting back down next to Shawn after his shower when Shane was at last talking to Randy in the ring, Shawn crooking an eyebrow "What?", "I knew he was ready", "Ha?", Jeff shrugged his shoulders amused "He told me, but I promised to keep my mouth shut", Matt, sitting on Jeff's other side shook his head "Why would Orton tell you something like that", "We were in the gym and he was working out too, and we talked", Shawn was glad nor Hunter nor Mark were there, they would have spanked Jeff for having kept back such an information, he only muttered "He's an asshole, and making up the best excuses", "Yes he is, but a fucking sexy one, don't you think", his eyes on Randy, Shawn licked his lips "Undoubtly but I'm glad he's getting some shit thrown back at him for once", "Yeah, Phil is still more than pissed at him", "Well, he better watch his health or he will be out for real after this match"
Phil was jumping up and down, smirking "Oh yes, I really start appreciating Shane guys", "Well, I think Randy wouldn't agree", Randy passed them, not looking at anyone and royally pissed and headed off to get changed, as Kozlov passed them and Jeff quivered a little "I so hate that guy", "Emotionless bastard", "Yeah", but the next man passing made them all laugh their asses of "Poor Charlie", "Yeah, will be owned by the Mauler in thirty seconds" and he was, they were all laughing besides Jeff who stared evily at Vladimir when he passed them again, Shawn getting up and squeezing his shoulder "Calm Jeff, Calm, I know he pisses you off", "I'm calm, I just made sure he wouldn't jump me from behind", Shawn started whistling "Hello Hello, now does Dave look sexy or what", "Hell yeah", Mark shook his head "Guys guys guys, come on", "No, I mean the sun really gave him the sexiest tan", "Shawn, stop it", "But he's right", "And you too kid", "You're all jealous"
Hunter arrived in his DX-attire and grinned, stopping behind his friend "Shawn… Ready to suck it?", Shawn was playing around with his sticks and smirked mischieviously "Oh hell Yeah", Steve smirked "That's my line Michaels", Shawn slapped him on the head with his sticks before kissing him on the same spot "Relax rattlesnake, relax", "Can I have sticks too pleaseeeee", Shawn laughed and locked eyes with Jeff "Those who touched Steve?", Steve rolled his eyes "How old are you?", Jeff didn't acknowledge Steve, he just mumbled, giving Shawn a grin "32 and I don't care, I just want some", Shawn threw him his pair and fished another one out of his back-pocket "Have fun with them Jeff"
Jeff sighed when they had made it to the ring, biting around on the sticks, Matt looking at him "What now bro?", Jeff slapped Matt a couple of times with his sticks on the leg and leaned on him, sighing "It would have been a blast to wrestle them you know, you and me kicking their butts", "Oh shit yes", Hunter and Shawn were one hundred percent in DX mode, they had been all day, they goofed around in the ring, and as they were getting ready to do their signature move, Shawn interrupted Hunter, there was something that had been bugging him since last week when he had gone with Jeff to watch the ECW-Show, and he needed to adress it, he had given the tech guys the needed footage before making it to the ring, he pulled an upset face and started "You know what, I'm not ready", "I'm not ready I can't do this… Look, I was watching ECW last week, Miz and Morrison, they were mocking us, and it was pretty harsh, I think you might wanna see this, pretty stiff", a footage was shown were Mike and John were mocking them with dressed up guys acting as DX…
Backstage Jeff was annoying everyone with his sticks, up to the point where Mark just grabbed them and put them away "Hey that's like a first attack", "Yes Jeff, and if you continue I swear the second will follow immediately", pouting a little Jeff concentrated on what was happening in the ring "Shawn wanted to kick their asses last week when they pulled that stunt", "Ah yeah, he was with you at the ECW show", "Yeah"
Shawn and Hunter watched it flabbergasted, giving each other funny glances, as if they were really shocked, Shawn starting to pace, he had to will a huge grin away as he played the shocked and upset one "That could have been us, do you realise that, that could have been us…", Shawn stopped before Hunter and continued, a smirk on his face and his voice dripping with irony "I mean, think about the genius of that, they dress up two guys to look just like us, okay, and then they went out there and beat the tar out of them, that's revolutionary, that's innovative, I mean that hasn't been done since, you know, I don't know… Like last week", Hunter interrupted him smirking "Actually no, someone did it in seg 4", Shawn nodded amused "Good point, good point, but I think what we need to focus on more, than anything else… Did you notice the size of your nose", Hunter was glad they had talked it over and that he was a very good actor, he stared in disbelief at Shawn who continued as if he was talking about the weather "I mean I never really stepped back and noticed it, we've known each other for so long I've probably just gotten used to it, but that thing is gigantic", "It's not really that big, it's the camera that adds ten pounds", "How many cameras did they have on that thing…"
They were all laughing to the tears, well all besides Mike and John who stood there and waited for them to finish to make their way to the ring, and they could pretty clearly see why Hunter and Shawn were doing that, and it made their jokes look lamer, and their mood wasn't going to improve…
Shawn continued "Besides… The part that really sends me over the edge, they did the unforgivable, they mocked the chaps brother, I've got news for you, I put up with a lot, you can mock my kids, you can punch my wife in the face but I've got news for you, nobody but nobody mocks the chaps, that's were I draw the line", Hunter nodded "Mocking the chaps is crossing the line, but I'll tell you what, right now, the part that really made me mad is when they started getting on you for losing your hair, there's no reason to go after you for going bald", Shawn pulled a pouty, shocked face again, immediately interrupting him "Ho ho ho ho ho" and playing his part perfectly, he and Hunter had worked out a couple of things to amuse the crowd and get back at Miz and Morrison, they had included mocking themselves just for the fun of it…
Shawn put his hat back up, looking around as if he was making sure no-one had seen it "I don't recall them saying anything about, you know, that… that situation…", "I'm pretty sure they did", "No, no I was standing right here with you watching it" "I just assumed….", Shawn got in his face "I don't think so", "It's obvious", "Well never speak of this again", "Anyway, I think we can get through this Shawn, the thing is, those guys said they were in highschool when we got started", "Stings a little bit, stings", "While we were out here revolutionizing this industry, they were… they were… Well let's take a look", a footage of their own started, with old pictures of Miz and Morrison, Mike first, who standing backstage frowned and sulked "Now that is the Miz in high school, that's his senior class picture, and don't let him belittle himself, the Miz is quite an athlete, this is right after he took second in the Kentucky derby", Shawn smirked and made sounds like a horse, Hunter looking at the ring announcer "No offense Lillian" and he continued, and John who had been laughing and mocking Mike two seconds ago was the one frowning "Now here is John Morrison, assuming a position that he would assume for years to come at reststops all around the country… Those two guys to me Shawn, look like guys that got beat up every day in highschool, and I tell you what", "Tonight is gonna be no different", Hunter lay his arm casually on Shawn's shoulder and leaned on him "So Shawn, I'll ask you one more time… Are you ready", Shawn screamed, smirking a bit "I'm ready"
But before they could continue theer was another little taunt towards Miz and Shawn sat down in a corner and frowned, playing ill "I don't feel so well now", Hunter smirked and waited for him to join him "Then, for the thousands in attendance, for the millions watching around the world…" Hunter just had to add another little provocation "…And for Miz and Morrison, because they have a dream, no, not to stand in the ring with DX, no, they have a dream that they one day will be able to enjoy the same rights and privileges as any other couple in the United States, the right to be able to marry and start their own family", Shawn wiped an imaginary tear away "…With that in mind, for Miz and Morrison… Uuuuh, let's get ready to suck it", "And if you're not down with that…" both John and Mike had started getting more pissed by the minute and interrupted Shawn having their entrance song started…
Hunter started the match with John, who went straight at him, whispering "You'll end up hurt old man", "Oh my, watch it John, I will show you pain" and Hunter performed a clothesline on Morrison who ended up in pain on the mat and rolling towards Mike to tag him in as Hunter tagged in Shawn, who didn't waist a second and immediately after him, ready to show him who were the best, his elbow hit Miz straight on the chest but as Shawn prepared for a Sweet Chin Music John intervened and grabbed him, he ended outside but Mike used the distraction to get Shawn down and immediately continued with assaults before tagging John back in…
John and Shawn went at it for a while before Miz got tagged back in, they kept Shawn away from Hunter until Shawn managed to counter and tag him in, Hunter started by slapping John before kicking his knee into his face, unfrotunately he couldn't perform the Pedigree since Mike intervened and he had to avoid him, Shawn copying Mike and intervening also, John started mocking Shawn and prepared for a Sweet Chin Music he performed on Hunter as a little taunt, Miz and Morrison even went as far as to do the "suck it"-sign over the Game and Miz tried a Pedigree on Hunter, but Hunter countered, John ended outside the ring, winding in pain and Shawn hit Mike with a Sweet Chin Music mumbling "This is the way it is done assholes", Hunter added a Pedigree and went for the pin, Hunter and Shawn were more than content that they had owned Mike and John, even if they had given them resistence, they weren't good enough in the end, they smirked watching them make their move backstage…
Backstage something else was happening besides Mike and John licking their wounds, John, Bradshaw not Morrison was slowly being emprisonned in the trap that Mark had started waving, knowing JBL's arrogance and the free GM spot he had suggested Shane to inform him about his match when he'd come pleading and begging and sucking his way up his pants, and Shane took a lot of pleasure in throwing it in John's face who ended up looking miserable even though he tried his best to keep a pokerface…
Randy arrived dressed for the ring, a sulky pout on his face that made Phil smirk "Don't you worry, I will finish you off quickly", "Asshole", "Get lost Orton", "No, seems like you will be the first to go", "See you in the ring moron", Phil made his way to the ring, frowning when he saw what they were showing on the screen, he still remembered the pain and the hurt Randy had caused him, and he was ready, waiting for him, the match started, Phil going hard on Randy, but into the match Ted, Cody and Manu decided to intervene, Randy angry as hell about that and punting Ted before leaving the ring, Hunter stopped him the second he came backstage "What just happened there", "Ask them, I didn't ask them to come", "You hurt your friend", "I have no friends Hunter, get out of my face", Kofi was helping Phil back who nearly jumped Randy if it hadn't been for Hunter stepping in "No guys, no fights backstage, get a match", "I had a match", "Forget about it Phil", "How Hunter, he screwed me over", "I know that, he'll get his lesson too one day"
Jeff had been following their discussion but stayed out of it, Mark pointed to the screen and he hissed "Damn yeah, that was a hell of a match", Mark nodded "Yeah it was, damn your resilience", "Damn your strength man", "You can be proud of yourself Jeff", "I am, I'll never forget that match", John made his entrance and Mark got up, ruffling through Jeff's hair "He won't either", "But for other reasons, kill him Mark", Matt smirked "Oh, it's goosebumps and shiver time", "Screw you bro", Jeff pulled his legs up and hugged them, his chin resting on his knees "That's just so cool, that's all", "Yeah yeah yeah"
Mark made his way to the ring, glad he could see fear in John's eyes, that man just needed a good lesson and he was ready to give it to him since Shawn had been busy with his tagteam match tonight, he pushed John to the corner and whispered "Not feeling so cocky now", John managed to counter and started to punch him, trying his best to finish the Deadman quickly, Jeff winced at every punch he landed but soon enough it was JBL on the floor and Mark giving him the Last Ride, and he was about to go for the Tombstone but John weaseled his way out of the ring, backing away when Mark got up, he let himself get counted out but from behind Shawn came running in on him and pushed him back in the ring where Mark grabbed him and performed his Tombstone on JBL, Shawn had a small smile on his face, standing up the ramp, Mark looking his way and locking eyes with him, both friends communicating silently before Shawn walked back backstage and Mark started making his way back too, exchanging a smile with Jeff and Shawn before heading for a shower…
Shawn sat back down on one of the couches, grinning "Number one is down, number two will be soon too", seeing Jericho on the screen talking to Shane, Dave who had arrived with Rey patted Shawn on the shoulder "I'll take care of him", "Oh I will do too, but you can have him in the ring", "Too kind Shawn"
Glen made it to the ring, his mind set out on hurting Rey once and for all, the fact that Henry had managed to weasel himself into the equation bugged him to the fullest but it was something he couldn't change, so he let it happen, for now, at least his team-member was one mean s-o-b too, that played in his favour, Rey was up next, Dave getting down next to Jeff and Matt, staring at Jeff and leaning on him, whispering "I didn't get the opportunity to thank you yet", Jeff blushed a bit feeling Dave this close, especially that mouth so close to his neck "Thank me?", Dave noticed that Jeff shivered and smirking leaned even closer "Yeah, for helping Rey", "Ha? What are talking about?", "Your little intervention last week", Jeff fidgeted a little "Oh, Rey told you", "No, I passed but I thought it would be wiser staying away since you had everything under control", "I'm glad Rey didn't get too hurt", "Yes, and I'm glad neither of you two got hurt", "Glen isn't such a bad guy, and don't start it, I know, I won't say anything more", they watched the match, Jeff stretching and wincing from time to time "Yeah ha, must hurt", "Listen, I've had matches against Kane too, I know he ain't a kitten ok", "And with Henry at his side", "Humpty Dumpty", "Oh yes, sorry, Humpty Dumpty, he seems even meaner", both Rey and Kofi ended beaten but even after the pin both Glen and Mark continued…
Rey was winding outside the ring when Khali made his way to the ring, Kane didn't even flinch and continued with his assault on Rey, but he got interrupted by a powerful slap by the Punjabi Giant, Rey didn't believe it, getting back in the ring and performing his 619 on Henry, Khali punching him for good measure, Rey gave the Giant a smile and was reassured when he got one in return, he helped Kofi back, glad that Kane had decided to leave the ring, Glen had stomped back and was raging, Jeff got up and followed him, even if Matt and Dave urged him not to, but Jeff had made up his mind, he knocked softly and entered, coming nose-to-nose, or rather nose-to-chest with what most guys in the arena would call a nightmare "Hey… You're ok?", "No", "Can I help you somehow?", "Bring me Khali and Rey", "Uh, can't do that", "Then you can't help", Jeff sighed "Wish I could", "It's not as if I was hurt, I'm only pissed", Jeff smirked "Ah, a little trip to the nature later?", Glen had to hand him that he really tried, he hugged him gently and pushed him out "Jeff… Now I'll take a shower, we'll talk about that offer a later ok", "Okay big guy"
Jeff made it back in time for Dave's match, Matt shaking his head "How's the Big Red Machine", "Pissed", Dave turned and smiled "Well good", "Hey… You should concentrate on your match against that dickhead", "Very clever Hardy, coming from an assclown like you", "Kick his face into steel for me Dave please", "Oh I will kick him into it more than once, just chose one", "Thank you", Chris just walked off to the ring, Dave up after him…
Unfortunately the match didn't end like they all dearly hoped, and Chris gave them an evil smile as he paraded his newly won back belt through the backstage area "You are all losers", "Watch your kharma Jericho", "My kharma seems all right, I busted that idiot open", Shawn growled "I will bust you open and we'll have that discussion again asshole", Rey, Shawn and Jeff helped a devastated Dave to the medics to get stitches, Shawn patting his leg as he sat there frowning and hissing "You'll get it back", "Not so sure about that, now John gets his chance", "Yeah, but you still can get your rematch Dave", "True", "And I will make him suffer", "When Shawn", "Well, rather sooner than later now", "Finally", "Hey, I need to find the perfect opportunity", "Do it quickly", Dave downed some painkillers and sighed "What a crap, I had the title a week, one fucking week", Hunter arrived with Mark and smirked "Well, at least you managed to get the title, not like Jeff here, who always…", Jeff gave the Game a huge pout "Asshole", "What? It's the truth", "Thank you so much Hunter"
Jeff left and got his things from the locker room before going outside and sitting down, back against a wall and lighting a cigarette, his eyes were watery and he was fighting back the tears, Hunter's comment had hurt him more than he at first had thought, he heard someone move next to him and looked up to lock eyes with an intrigued Randy Orton "You ok Hardy?", the soft tone did it for Jeff and the first tears started to trail down his cheeks, he shook his head, wiping them away pretty embarrassed, but Randy was already on his knees next to him and had put an arm around his shoulders "Hey, what happened?", his voice was a mere whisper "Hunter", "Pfff, forget that idiot Jeff", "I can't", "You'll get the title from him, don't you worry", "I don't think so", "But I do, and I am Orton, which means I'm always right", Jeff managed a smile "Arrogant bastard", "But at least you're smiling again"
Jeff stretched and got up "Thank you Randy", Randy followed him and let himself go and hugged Jeff "You're welcome, couldn't let you brood like that", voices could be heard and Matt, Shawn, Mark, Glen in a dispute with Rey, Dave and Hunter arrived, Matt staring at Randy and Jeff, and seeing Jeff's red eyes he jumped to his own conclusions, not having been there when Hunter had teased his brother "Hey, what have you done to him", "Me? Ask your buddy there", Randy motioned to Hunter "Ask him", he gave Jeff a little smile "See you Jeff", "Yes, bye… And Randy", "Yes", "Thanx", "Always", Jeff watched Randy drive off and sighed "Don't Matt… I'm ok", "What is going on?", "Nothing", Hunter grabbed Jeff's arm as he passed him "I was joking kid, I didn't want to hurt you ok", "I know that, it just hurts to hear the truth like that, you know", "You'll get that title Jeff, and it's not as if you were a stranger to belts, you've held enough titles already", "I want yours", "Uh, then come and get it and get a little tougher", "How if I don't get a match, and I'm tough", "Go and bug Vickie, and uhu, you come crying in Orton's lap, that's not tough", Jeff pouted "I'll talk to her on Friday and I didn't cry in his lap", "Good, and now smile please, there's no reason for you to be sad Jeff", Mark smirked "Guys, are you listening to yourselves", Matt stepped between them "What did you say to my brother Hunter?", "Nothing, I teased him a little and he took it too seriously, now, Vince is waiting, can we leave?", "Yes"
Mark gave Jeff a smile and patted his shoulder "Hunter didn't mean to hurt you, it was an innocent tease", "I know, it just stung when he said it", "But at least Randy got your mood back up"," Don't you start now"?, Mark grinned "No, would never do that", "Hey, it's not my fault that since you got us in one locker room we talk decently to each other", Mark got on his bike and waited for Jeff to follow suit "No, it's cool actually, just don't start becoming an arrogant asshole like him", "I won't", "Comfortable?", "As always", "Then keep a tight grip, I want to freak Vince by arriving before him", Mark passed full speed through the still parked cars, laughing and took off, Jeff leaning against him and blocking his body against his…
Matt snarled, next to Shawn in Hunter's car "You upset him and Mark will get him killed in an accident", Glen turned and glared at him "My brother never had an accident and he never ever will have one, so shut up Hardy", Shawn laughed and Hunter tried to get the atmosphere lightened up "Hey, I just joked and Jeff took it the wrong way Matt, I really don't want to see him upset, because when he's upset he does stupid things", "He's over that", "I hope, for now it really seems that way", the rest of the road the managed to talk about matches and what to do after dinner…
Mark and Jeff got there five minutes after Vince, who just for the record had left Tampa for Orlando half an hour prior to Mark, he pulled a face when he saw them arrive with beers at the terrasse he had gotten for them, they walked up to where he sat "Oh come on Mark, risk your life but don't do it with Hardy", "I never risk anything Vince", "I'm cool with it", "You're cool with anything foolish boy", Jeff sat down, putting his feet up against a tree and stretching, pouted a little "Hey", "Hey yourself… And next week I want a test Jeff", "Whatever you say big master", "Better thank me for not having asked for one tonight", "He's clean Vince, cut him some slack will ya", "Ok ok", "Listen, on another subject, you need to do something with Jericho Vince, he gets too cocky and too arrogant", "You've got my ok to do something Mark, just keep me out of it… And I want you and Hunter to keep a leash on everyone in Manchester", "We don't need you to tell us", "Just wanted it said", they got interrupted by a loud laughing sound, Steve Austin arriving, Hunter, Shawn, Matt, Glen and the others trailing behind him "Vince, long time no see", "Oh no, what are you doing here", "Chilling with my friends"
Vince had organised the dinner after the show since he wanted everything planned for the following week in the UK and wanted everyone informed in time they would all leave with the WWE plane on Sunday, it gave the Smackdown Roster the possibility to have a day to travel home and gather things should they need them, he had Stephanie on it to book the flights the men needed since it was on pretty short notice and she had volunteered for the job, Shawn decided to fly home, as did Mark and Steve, Glen too, Jeff and Matt wanted to travel together which she quoted with a smile "Sibling love is the greatest", Jeff smirked "It ain't love, it's control", Matt slapped him on the head "See, controling me and inflicting pain, that's all he does", she grinned "Seems that's what we pay him for", "Hey", "Ha Jeff, I'm allowed to chain you up if you don't obey", "Screw you bro", Shawn chuckled "I thought Glen was the only one chaining Jeff up", Jeff kicked Shawn who sat next to him "You're an ass", "And you have a nice one", Phil and Kofi both bursted out laughing too, Matt pulling a frown knowing why and Phil eager to share it with everybody on the table "According to Jeff Dave has a nice one too", Dave smirked and locked eyes with Jeff "Really", Jeff blushed a little and put his attention back to the food on his plate "What? Yeah, so…"
After the dinner they all went and had drinks on the beach, Vince wondering if any of them knew the chance they had to stay at the place like that on his expenses for a week as he saw the amounts of booze they had organised and how "at home" some of them were feeling, he sat down next to Hunter and Stephanie who were in a discussion, Stephanie showing her ex something she had found under her door before the dinner, it was the next drawing Mike and John had decided to let appear, one of Hunter and Stephanie and Shawn had been right, it was anything but PG-rated, Jeff had seen her hand Hunter something and after the Game's facial expressions it could only be one thing, he had jumped over to Shawn and pulled him along down the beach "We're in trouble", "Why", "Stephanie and Hunter have their drawing", "No", "Yes", "Damn, let's just say it wasn't us", "We admitted it to Mark, Glen and Dave and who knows who heard us", Jeff was anxiously looking at them and whispered "Shawn, Steph will fire my ass", "No, she won't, she's got humour", "Well, they are on their way over here so I really hope you're right"
Stephanie was having a huge smirk on her face and found it difficult to be angry, Hunter on the other hand was a little pissed that they had had the guts to do that "Well, seeing your guys reaction I suppose you know what this is… Just tell me one thing, I'm curious, why did you slide it under my door?", Jeff was shaking a little next to Shawn and all colour had drained from his face, Shawn grinned and put an arm around him, squeezing him against himself "Relax Jeff, and it wasn't us… Someone stole them from us and now distributes them", Hunter hadn't lost his frown and his tone was anything but warm "Them?", "There are more drawings", "Like this?", "No, Rey got his first, Kane eating him, hey, we just fooled around and…", Stephanie finally started laughing and interrupted him "Yeah, well seems like Paul and I do too on here", Hunter looked at her and smirked yeah, they were definetely fooling around on the drawing, both naked and in a hot 69'er position, Jeff inhaled, his voice a whisper "Sorry, I know it's way out of line", "Well, it's kinda pretty though, and hot too, but I rather not find some more of those", Shawn shook his head "You won't, it's the only one of you and Hunter", "Who took them?", "If we knew we'd have them back and you'd never have seen that one"
A little further away Mike and John observed them and pouted, they had hoped for a more explosive reaction, and now there was only giggling and talking going on between the four people "Why ain't she slapping the life out of Jeff", "I don't know, damn, first Glen who finds it amusing, now Stephanie", "Well, Hunter may lose his cool, he doesn't look too happy", "But he's still way too peaceful and calm", Hunter sighed "Seriously, you guys had nothing else to do than this?", "Well, no", "I hope you won't do it again in the plane to Manchester", "I'll never do it again", Stephanie chuckled "Oh, and I was about to ask you to do me another one", "What?", "Yeah, but one dressed, not like this", Jeff blushed, feeling honored and relaxing since it seemed she wasn't about to fire him "You're serious?", "Yes, please", "Sure", "Thanx, take your time and don't lose it", "Won't, thank you, I mean you could…", "Forget about it Jeff, I'm cooler than I appear", Jeff glanced shyly at Hunter who shrugged his shoulders, smirking "If she's ok with it, I'm ok with it, but we'll find out who has the remaining drawings guys", "Yeah"
They walked back up, Mark pulling Jeff next to himself "What was that about?", "Another drawing was found", "Steph's and Hunter's?", "Yes", Mark laughed "Well, they both still seem unfuzzed", "Luckily, I thought she'd fire me on the spot", "No, she's actually a pretty big freak too", "I always screw up", "No Jeff, don't go there now ok, everything is fine, so inhale and relax", "Thank you Mark", "For?", "Being here for me", "Oh kid, come on, don't get sappy now", Steve chuckled "No cuddle-time Hardy", the rest of the evening passed quietly, some of them going to bed a little earlier since they had matches the next day, Jeff stayed when Matt called it a night around two, and played poker with Mark, Shawn, Hunter and Steve, Glen already in bed too, it was around five when they finally played the last game and got up, Jeff sneaking through the room and doing his best not to wake his brother, he succeeded and fell asleep pretty rapidly…
