Later on in the week, Cody was sitting alone in his locker room winding down after his match. He stretched out his sore muscles and through on an X-Men t-shirt, still basking from the heat he got from the crowd. He was doing really well for himself, and he was still talking to Ted pretty regularly. Things were looking up for him on Smackdown. He was torn from his thoughts when he heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" He called.

"It's Drew," the voice from outside called. "Mind if I came in?"

"Yeah, sure," Cody said as he pulled his jeans on. He looked up and smiled as the Scott came in and sat next to him on the bench.

"That was a great match tonight," Drew said. "You really are impressive out there."

"Thanks," Cody said. "I have been working my ass off. I guess hanging around with Randy all that time payed off."

"He helped you, sure," Drew conceded playfully, "but you still have a lot of natural talent. It really does show." He smiled warmly at the younger man.

Cody could feel himself blush at the attention he was getting. Of course he was still with Ted, but he found he didn't mind the attention he was getting from his fellow wrestler. He liked the guy and felt he could trust him. The two talked for a few minutes about the show, friends from Raw, and other random crap. After a while, Drew got up.

"Well, I really need to be going. Maybe we can hang out sometime?" he asked fondly as he headed for the door.

"Yeah, sure that would be great," Cody agreed as he grabbed his stuff and started to head out himself.

As the two started to walk out of the building, neither of the men knew that they were being watched.

The figure stalked off to his car, not being able to believe what he had just seen. He was going to surprise young Cody with a little visit as he was in the area for promotional work; they didn't see each other often, after all. Despite rumors to the contrary they got along well enough. But what does he see? He sees him walking with and acting all friendly with Drew. Wasn't that little bitch supposed to be with his precious Teddy?

He had felt an attraction to the Scottish man for quite some time. That long chestnut hair, those wild eyes, and that sexy smirk gave the older man all kinds of fever. It would only been a matter of time before he had the chance to corner him and give him an offer he couldn't refuse. Oh, Coddles! Why did he have to go and ruin it for him?

"I can't believe that he would do this to Ted," he said to himself out loud once he was in the safety of his car. "Well, I need to do something about this."

God, how long had those two been in a relationship? The older man smirked to himself when he remembered the night he had accidentally walked in on them making out at a comic book convention. The look on his face was priceless, and Ted looked like he was going to have a coronary. They then spent the next ten minutes babbling something about having to learn CPR. ("Loosening the person's shirt and sticking your hand on their chest is part of it, seriously. It ensures...breathing.")He wondered how Cody would explain this to his boy if he were to find out.

"We'll find out soon enough," he thought out loud as he drove away. A dark smile spread across his face. If he was going to snatch the man he wanted from under his nose, he was going to have to answer for it; to him and to his real lover. And he just might have a plan.

A day or two later, Ted was sitting alone in the room he was sharing with John, who had kind of grown on him a little. He was a bit weary of the other man, but he had so far proven to be a decent companion. He was going over a script for Raw when his phone went off. It was a text from Maryse.

Hey, I think you should check out youtube. Ted frowned. Why would he want to do that? His phone went off again. There is some fascinating footage involving Cody. Ted called her.

"What are you talking about?" He asked her.

"Can you log on?" she asked. Ted went to his laptop.

"Yeah, I'm going on youtube right now," he said.

"Search Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre," the diva said.

"What? Why would I-"

"Just do it!"

Ted rolled his eyes, but he typed in the search. The footage that came up made his eyes grow huge.

"What the hell is going on?"

A/N: ::laughs evily:: So, who is the mysterious man who has a thing for Drew? If you think you can guess who it is, PM me, and I will dedicate the next chapter to you! Will this hurt Ted and Cody's relationship? What John going to do to Mike? Will I ever pair John (C.) with anyone? All this and more on the next chapters.

Randy muse: Coming sometime before 2012.

Me: Shut up, Randy.

John M. Muse: These last two chapters did take a while.

Me: Well, between school, you freaks, and various computer problems, it proved to be a challenge. The important thing is that we are back on track. Read and review.
