I feel like this will be a good chapter.

Precious Treasure

Randy looks down at his ring, or John's ring, he still can't believe that John wants to go give Randy this after he'd treated him so badly and just remembering how cruel he'd been to John had made his stomach slosh horribly as he grabs onto John's teddy bear from John's bed and sleeps onto it, bringing the fluffy bear close to him as he runs his hand through the short fur and he smells the scent of John burn through the air as he snuggles deeper into the bear, looking at Miz who's asleep with Alanna in his lap, protectively. Shockingly, the Miz is a good parent.

Randy shakes his head and looks back at Ted and Cody, in each other's arms, the image is burning in his head and he just stares at it before he looks back at the bear into his arms, running his hand through his back and then his eyes catch a glint of white inside of the bear's torn spine as he takes it out and looks at it carefully. A white paper out of the bear's spine and he opens it to look at the slightly illegible handwriting and he shakes his head, a treasure map? He chuckles under his breath and holds the bear closer but in the middle of the night, he kicks off his sheets and walks outside, looking back and grabbing Sergeant Teddy, too as he pokes his head outside of the door and walks outside.

The cool air greets him. The moonlight makes it easier for him to see everything. The cold water of the lake is glistening just at the glint of the moon and Randy's smile forms even though he's so very broken on the inside without John and he steps away from the cabin, opening the white paper again as he tucks the bear under his armpit and looks at the directions of his map.

"It's been two hours! Where is this place?"

He stops when he realizes that he's heading towards the cave but shakes his head and walks inside even though there's a feeling in his stomach that tells him not to and as he looks around the cave without another word slipping out of his mouth, and suddenly, he feels as if this is a horrible idea and makes an attempt to go back but the bear suddenly falls out of his arm and he leans down and when as he twists his eyes, he sees a glint of something—something…

He hunches the bear on his back as he crawls towards the glint and he stares at it only to realize that there's water there. He decides to go take a drink before he goes back and as he takes a cool sip of water, he feels two arms snake towards his waist, "let go!" Randy exclaims but as his head twists towards the face of John Cena, Randy laughs, "what are you doing here?"

"Sneaking out."

"I thought yesterday…"

"Damn. You must be an idiot, Orton," Randy rolls his eyes. "I will not leave my boy all alone for even one night. After all, I can't live without you and if you get hurt, I might just drop dead."

"Oh, Cena."

"Let's go find your treasure, Mr."

"You wrote the damn map."

"You knew that all along?"

Randy laughs and nods his head. "Nobody is silly enough to put a map inside of a bear other than you, Cena."

John reaches for his bear and snorts at him as if he's angry, "my bear."

Randy laughs and pinches John's cheek, "you are so cute."

"I'm 32," John reminds him and Randy shakes his head before he holds onto John's hand as John leads him to wherever. All that Randy cares is that he's with John right now. John is his light in darkness. He's the reason that Randy wakes up every day. And having him next to him is more than he could've asked for. They stop towards the lake and Randy stares into it, "I still don't get it."

"I want you to dig inside of here."

Randy rolls his head. "Last time I dug for two hours just to find a ring. I have to dig again and what do I find, Jonathon?"

"You tell me."

"You like the water-beach scene, don't you?"

"I love the water-beach scene. Now, dig, baby." Randy shakes his head as he crawls through the dirt with his bare hands again and John lays down beside him, staring at him as he digs through the dirt again to obtain his treasure and after about ten minutes, Randy shakes his head. "Nothing's worth this," he says.

John laughs. "Randy…"

"I know. I know." Randy shakes his head. "I'm supposed to be optimistic. This and that." He pulls out a box and he looks up at John and shakes his head. "Some treasure chest. It looks like a 5 cent box I get from the cold store."

"Oh shut up."

Randy opens the box with no hesitation and as his eyes fall onto the empty box, he raises his eyebrow. "You're joking, right?"

He hears John's laugh as Randy whips his head towards him and shakes his head, "you made me dig again for an empty box?!"

"It's not empty."

Randy raises his eyebrow, "what do you mean it's not empty? It's as empty as your head, Cena."

"I put my love inside."

"What?"

"People say that you can't put love in a box. I tried."

Randy waits to understand and he smacks John's head, "love is a feeling."

"You should've told me that when I asked you what love is."

"You thought it was a virus, Mr. Romantic."

John runs his hand down Randy's back and they end up looking at the black sky, all curled up in each other. "Randy, I miss being at home."

"I know…I want to go home, too."

"I miss having to look around your locker for any stupid lovey dovey messages and roses or any type of that sappy junk."

"I miss pretending not to care."

They both look into each other's eyes as Randy pulls himself farther on John's body to look at his face. "I miss having a mask. Too many emotions. I've never cried so much in my entire life as much as I've cried in these past few weeks."

"Yeah, masks just keep everything in."

"You hated me because I was just like you."

"You are like me, Randy. I don't know how I could love you so much when I beat the crap out of myself all the time."

"I know…it's all strange. They say you can't love anyone if you can't love yourself but here I am, and here you are and we're in love…right?"

"I—I'm not sure anymore."

Silence overthrows the air as they both snuggle into each other, forgetting that the sand is rough and ignoring the voices of any creature inside of the forest and eventually, they both fall asleep.

Where is our precious treasure?

I-I think it's supposed to be you. Is it love?

Looks like Randy and John are uncertain about their relationship… that's bad. Review??
