Okay, this one is a strange one. The couple for this chapter is Heath Slater and Sasha Banks(Sasheath Slanks) [Another ship name created by my brother]. So, this one came about because once again I was talking to my brother and he asked me if Heath Slater had any fics and I told him I didn't know. Then I joked that it would be hilarious if Heath was paired with someone who couldn't stand him and then I immediately thought of Sasha. Now, to clarify this isn't a romantic fic. This is more a friendship one. Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this.
I apologize for any and all grammatical errors or mistakes in characterization.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the storyline

Sasha Banks felt like she was on top of the world. She was the Boss of NXT and was finally getting the respect she deserved. She was getting a title shot at Takeover and was going to walk out of it the new NXT Women's Champion. With an arrogant smirk, she made her way to catering to get something to eat. After she had finally found something she wanted to eat she looked around and finally decided that the least annoying person to sit with was Titus and headed towards his table.

"Well, well, if it isn't the Boss. What do I owe this pleasure?" Titus asked as Sasha sat down next to him.

"You are the only person I can stand in this place," Sasha explained which annoyed Titus slightly, but after he looked around at the other people sitting around them he understood what she meant. The two sat eating and chatting when Sasha stopped mid sentence noticing Heath Slater was making his way to their table.

"What does he want?" Sasha asked as Titus looked to see who Sasha meant.

"Probably me," Titus explained and he was right. Heath headed straight to Titus and whispered something in his ear. Titus nodded at whatever Heath was saying to him.

"Okay, tell 'em, I'll be there in few minutes," Titus told Heath.

"Okay," Heath agreed before he looked startled at the sight of Sasha, "I'm sorry, where are my manners? I didn't mean to interrupt you guys conversation."

"That's okay, Heath," Titus dismissed his worries. While Titus didn't seem to care about the interruption, Sasha was another story.

"No, it's not okay," Sasha stated which surprised Titus, but not Heath. Heath could tell that he had annoyed her and felt bad about interrupting them.

"I'm really sorry for interrupting ya'll," Heath apologized again, "Darn it, I'm forgetting my manners all over the place, I didn't even introduce myself. I'm-"

"I know who you are, Slater," Sasha interrupted him, "But that doesn't matter because the only thing that matters is who I am. I'm Sasha Banks, the Boss of NXT and the next NXT Women's Champion.

"Oh, okay," Heath said not sure how to respond to that. He was used to being around intense and assertive Divas, but this Sasha Banks was on another level. He had heard a lot about Sasha from the Divas on the main roster and even some of the guys had talked about Sasha. He had caught a couple of her matches and thought she was really talented and knew she'd make it far, but he had never met her since he didn't come down to NXT as often as he liked. The only reason he was down here was because Titus was down here and since they were a tag team on the main roster it gave Heath a reason to come down to NXT to check out the talent.

"Well, I'm going to go. I'll see ya in a few, Titus and it was lovely to meet you Miss Banks," Heath said before he left catering. Sasha watched as he left the room before turning back to Titus.

"How do you stand being around that guy," Sasha inquired. She never understood how anyone could stand to be around Heath Slater. He reminded Sasha a bit of Bayley. They were both so goofy and happy all the time, it annoyed Sasha.

"He can be annoying at first, but you get used to him pretty quick," Titus answered her.

"I don't think I could ever get used to being around someone like him," Sasha stated before tossing her trash and saying goodbye to Titus. Sasha left the room and started looking for Becky.

OoOoOo

Sasha wanted to break everything in her sight. She had lost. She had lost to Charlotte. Charlotte was still the NXT Women's Champion. She wasn't champion. As all of this ran through Sasha's head she felt her anger increase. How could this happen to her? She was supposed to be the new NXT Women's Champion. How could she lose to Charlotte? How?! As she paced backstage, she felt herself grow angrier when she felt someone bump into her. She turned to yell at the person, but instead let out a loud groan of annoyance.

"Sorry about bumping into ya. Didn't see ya there," Heath apologized.

"Didn't see me? How could you miss me? Are you blind?!" Sasha screeched at him. No one else was around so Sasha decided to take her anger out on Heath.

"No, I'm not blind," Heath calmly replied, "I just didn't see ya."

"Well, open your eyes," Sasha hissed at him before she started pacing again. Heath stood there watching the angry woman as she paced. He was angry about Sasha taking her anger out at him, and while he had seen her match against Charlotte, and could understand her anger at losing it didn't mean she could yell at him.

"You keep pacing like that you're going to end up bumping into someone else," Heath pointed out which earned him a nasty glare from Sasha.

"Why are you still here?" she growled.

"I don't know," Heath sighed as he started to walk away, "Nice match by the way." Sasha stopped her pacing to glare at him.

"Is that some kind of joke?" she asked.

"No," Heath replied, "I mean it. You guys put on a hell of a match. One of the best matches I've seen in a long while."

"Yeah, well it wasn't that great," Sasha mumbled still feeling bitter over losing.

"Why? Because you lost?" Heath questioned her.

"Duh," Sasha answered him.

"Just because you lost doesn't mean that you didn't have a great match," Heath told her, "Charlotte and you are great athletes and even if you hate her, you work well together. I can't wait to see you guys go at it again because you two are both so talented. Hell, you guys are more talented than some of the guys I know on the main roster, but don't tell any of them I told you that." Sasha stopped herself from cracking a smile at that. That wasn't the first time she'd been told by someone that the women's match down here at NXT were sometimes better than most main roster men's matches. She shook her head to clear her mind before returning her glare to Heath.

"Yeah, well, you're not telling me anything I don't already know," Sasha informed him as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Well, then if you know that then stop pouting over your loss and get your head back in the game," Sasha felt shock and then anger coarse through her body. Who the hell was he to tell her get over her loss? She could be upset if she wanted to be.

"You told me when we first met that you were the Boss of NXT," Heath pointed out, "Well, than prove it. Go show those people that this loss isn't going to stop you from being champion. Go show them and Charlotte what it means to be the Boss." Before Sasha could say another word, Heath walked off leaving a shocked Sasha Banks in his wake.

OoOoOo

Sasha was so happy that Christmas was close because she seriously needed the time off. After losing to Charlotte at Takeover, she was still bitter, but more determined. She needed time to relax and reflect on what went wrong in her match so that she could figure out a new game plan to win. She was packing up her things to fly home tomorrow with Becky's help. Sasha was zipping up her suitcase when she heard a knock at her front door.

"Hey, can you get that for me?" Sasha asked. Becky nodded and exited the room. Sasha was packing her second bag when Becky walked back in the room with a bouquet of roses in her arms.

"Present from Enzo?" Sasha asked. She still had a hard time wrapping her head around the fact that Becky and Enzo were a thing. She didn't see Enzo being Becky's type so when they started dating it had thrown Sasha.

"Actually, they're fer you," Becky informed her as she handed the flowers to Sasha. Sasha took the flowers curiously as looked for a card. She found it and gently placed them on her bed so that she could read the card.

To Sasha,
I hope you have a safe and Merry Christmas.
You'll get that title soon, I know it.
-Heath Slater

Sasha felt her eyebrows rise in surprise. Heath Slater was the last person Sasha expected to receive flowers from.

"Who're they from?" Becky asked as she snatched the note from Sasha.

"Becky, give it back," Sasha demanded.

"Slater?" Becky questioned, "As in Heath Slater. That ginger fella on the main roster that thinks he's a rock star?"

"Yes," Sasha hissed as she snatched the card from Becky.

"I thought you didn't like him," Becky said as she leaned against Sasha's dresser.

"I don't," Sasha told her as she continued to pack, "He's just an annoyance that keeps popping up in my life."

"Well, it was nice of him to send ya flowers," Becky pointed out, but Sasha ignored her, "Oh, come on, Sasha. What's so wrong with bein' friends with Heath Slater?"

"Everything," Sasha answered as she turned to focus her attention to Becky, "Why are you so interested in whether or not I'm friendly with Slater?"

"Because it's not a crime to be friends or more than friends-"

"Never going to happen," Sasha interrupted Becky. Becky rolled her eyes before continuing.

"Anyway, like I was sayin' before I was so rudely interrupted. It's okay to have more than one friend Sasha. I mean come on, you were friends with Summer and Charlotte, but then when the title came around yer friendships disappeared. We both know that when you win that title I'm goin' to come after you," Sasha smirked at Becky's mention of her being champ and her smile grew at the thought of defending the title against Becky, "It's okay to have other friends and I think Slater would be a good friend fer ya."

"Yeah, I remember you saying the same thing about Enzo and look where you are now," Sasha pointed out which made Becky chuckle.

"I'm not sayin' you and Slater will be like Enzo and me, but I don't think it would be the worst thing if you two ended up like Enzo and me," Becky stated as Sasha rolled her eyes at the thought, "Well, do you need any more help because I still have some packin' to do?"

"No, I'm good. Thank you," Sasha said as Becky came over and gave her a hug, "I'll see you when you get back."

"Yep," Becky replied, "See ya later, Sasha."

"Bye, Becky," Sasha said as Becky left her room. Sasha looked down at the flowers and thought about what Becky had said. With a shake of her head, Sasha made her way to her kitchen to put her flowers in some water. Her and Heath Slater? That was the most ridiculous thing Sasha had ever heard.

OoOoOo

Heath was about to head to the airport when there was a knock on his hotel room. Titus, who he had roomed with for the night, went and answered the door.

"Who is it?" Heath asked as Titus came back.

"Someone from the front desk with a delivery for you," Titus explained as he handed Heath the package. Heath eyed the package skeptically before slowly opening the box. Inside was a black t-shirt that reminded Heath of the shirts he wore to the ring except without the holes. When he took the shirt out a note fell from it. He picked it up, read it, and then chuckled.

Slater,
Thanks for the roses, although they're not my favorite flower, but they were still pretty. To repay you here is a t-shirt. For the love of god, do not cut any holes into it. Actually, wear it to ring instead of the shirts you do wear. Who told you that looked good? Whoever it was needs to be fired.
Merry Christmas,
Sasha Banks

"Who's it from?" Heath turned to see Titus finishing his packing.

"Oh, just a friend of mine, who thinks the shirts I wear to the ring are stupid," Heath explained.

"Well, your friend is right," Titus said as he headed towards the door, "Your shirts are stupid." Heath rolled his eyes before packing the shirt and letter. With a shake of his head, he finished packing, left his hotel, and headed home.

Well, there you go. I hope you guys enjoyed this. I know it's probably weird to read about Heath and Sasha, but I still hope it was enjoyable at least. Please leave me a review of your thoughts.
