More angst/fluff. More of the fluff this time…except the ending.

Hold My Hand
__
Randy runs his hand through his daughter's short hair and he looks at her as she puts her fist in her mouth and drool seeps from her mouth and her beady eyes stare up at Randy and a smile crosses her mouth as she sucks onto her fist as if it's the most delicious treat ever and Randy's heart tears into pieces, seeing his daughter, so unaware, so adorable, so little…
She laughs, a beautiful laugh that makes Randy's heart melt but nothing can make him feel better knowing that he's ruined John's life and what could he do to save John? What would he do to make John feel better? He doesn't know really. And he doesn't think he'll ever know. The guilt's burning so hard inside of his body that he doesn't know what to do and then he hears a voice outside and Randy puts Alanna into Miz's arms and walks outside only to be caught by a hand and pulled into the bushes.
"John?" Randy's voice is apologetic, confused and shocked all at once and as he runs his hand through Randy's cheek, making Randy melt even more on the inside as he leans down to kiss him and Randy kisses back without the need for another word. Randy looks deep into John's eyes and tears threaten to burst. "Oh John…"
"Shh," John says, pressing his finger to Randy's lips. "No need for words and tears. I have one night and I don't want to spend it crying my eyes out, Randy." He grins and that grin's enough to make Randy punch John playfully on his shoulder.
"Where are we going?"
John thinks slightly about it, biting his lower lip as he grabs onto Randy's hand and pulls Randy deep into the forest and as John drags him towards a bright leaved tree that stands out and presses Randy to it. "Aren't we dirty?" Randy arches his eyebrow.
"That's not what I want," John says, rolling his eyes.
"What then, Jonathon? Since your mind's always so-"
"I want a game." John says eagerly and his eyes light up and Randy laughs as John slips his hand towards Randy's waist and pulls him close, "I want a game of hide and seek and you're seeking me."
"Oh, tempting," Randy says sarcastically.
"Come on, babe…just this one, can I do something I want?" he pouts those perfect pink lips and Randy just has to give in as he nods his head and Randy closes his head and presses his arm towards the tree, and starts counting from 1 to 20 and he feels like a little child looking for another one of his peers and when he's done counting, he starts looking around and stops by the lake when he sees an abnormal colored leaf by the lake and as he leans down he lets his hand glide down the icy, cold water.
Randy smiles as he lets the coldness calm down his body and in that second, he's being knocked down into the water and when he looks up, he sees John Cena laughing as if it's the most humorous thing ever, making Randy scowl at him. "Cena! You are so dead when I get out of here!"
John can't stop laughing as he clutches his stomach and Randy walks out of the water and smirks, "give me a hug, John."
"No, no, this is my favorite t-shirt," he says as he runs his hand through his Attitude Adjustment green and black shirt and Randy shakes his head before he tackles him towards a tree, making John laugh as Randy's soaked body drenches John's in a matter of what feels like seconds. "This is one night, huh?"
Randy steps back and nods his head as John leans down and captures Randy's lips into a sweet, passionate kiss and when John leans down, he licks his lips and laughs. "You taste like salt."
"Whose fault is that?" Randy jokes.
John pulls his hand out, "hold my hand, sweetie. It's a long walk home."
"I wish it really was home. You know, back to the hotel, Ted and Cody fighting around about some video game, Becky and Nathan calling just to check on me, watching re-runs of Friends and pretending that life's not a routine even when it is…" Randy says as he grabs onto John's hand and feels John's tight grip.
"I'm not letting you go."
John walks with Randy and he stares back at Randy, with a not so serious face, as he asks, "You watch Friends?" he laughs at the thought of Randy Orton cuddling in a sofa and watching Ross and Rachael try to fix and break their relationship then a thought strikes John's head, "so we're like Ross and Rachael, aren't we?"
"Meant to be but just won't realize it," Randy's voice is soft.
They stop walking yet John's hand is still gripped to Randy's and John puts his other hand on top of theirs as he looks towards Randy's eyes. "I don't want to be like anyone but John Cena and Randy Orton." He whispers. "This is our story. Our horrible, sad story. And you make it all worthwhile. You make darkness feel like light. You make horror feel like love. You make me feel whole…"
"Our story," Randy repeats. "There was Romeo and Juliet. There was Ross and Rachael. Cuddy and House. Edward and Bella…"
"And there's John and Randy," John slips his hand towards Randy's chin and makes him look straight into John's eyes as John presses his lips to Randy's, one kiss is all that it takes to make and break them.
John lets his hand slides into his pocket as he places an object into Randy's ear, "I won't die knowing that this is supposed to be yours." John makes a movement to leave but Randy grabs onto his hand.
"No, don't go!" Randy's voice is serious. "I love you! Please…"
John's head twists to look at Randy's face, pale into the moonlight, tears burning down his cheeks. "Please…don't…I love you…John, no…"
"I love you too," John whispers, "but I have to go. I don't want them to hurt you. I'd rather die than let them hurt you or anyone you love ever again."
"John…"
One last kiss.
"Bye, Randy."
Goodbye?
Why?
Randy watches as John leaves with every piece of his heart breaking at each step he takes and he looks down onto his hand to see John's engagement ring sparkling so dully into the moonlight and he slips the ring into his finger without another word as he tries to make the tears stop.
"John…why?"
