A/N I read "The Shield Fluff Drabbles" By ILoveFandoms. Her plot bunny bit me and I'm gonna take her story and run with it. She said that it was okay. So here I go... The italics are her story word for word. No corrections just what inspired me.

"Why are you always so overly protective? You make me feel like I can't do anything by myself." Colby came out the hotel room bathroom in his pajamas while tying his hair up in a bun. Joe put his iPhone down and sighed.

"Colby, not tonight." Colby crossed his arms against his chest and gave his long time secret lover and teammate a death stare. Joe sighed again and ran his fingers through his hair.

"I care about you a lot. Maybe too much for your liking, but I can't help it. You're just the youngest and I..I just want to take care of you."

Colby let his arms fall down to his sides with a guilty expression on his face. Joe went back to his iPhone with a poker face that made Colby's heart sink. He soon got into bed with the older man and cuddled him.

"I'm sorry, I just get all worked up because everyone always treat me like I am in need of help all the time."

Joe put his iPhone on the night stand and cuddled his lover back. "I know baby, I just have a big heart."

Colby smiled then out his head on the place where Joe's heart was steady beating then smiled. "You do.."

Colby could lay like that forever, and soon found himself falling into a blissful sleep. Jon soon walked in the room and sat down on the other bed, his bed, watching the two. He was the only person who knew about the relationship. And that was fine by him. He smiled and dove under his own covers.

Joe was soon fast asleep as well, exhausted after the six man tag match with Ziggler and the Usos. He hated the fact that he frequently fought his own family, but they all knew that blood came first. Joe was always the first to check to make sure his cousins wre okay.

Leati Joesph Anoa'i , or Joe for short, was a member of the famed family taking after his dad Sika in wrestling. He was a third generation Superstar and knew how to navagate the WWE fairly well. That's why his teamates never hesitated to follow his advice.

Jonathan Good was the de facto leader of thier little group, at least that is what everyone thought anyway. What they didn't know was he was the one to convince his other two mates that they were perfect for each other.

Colby Lopez couldn't agree more. At least in private. Publicly they were best friends and brothers. Privately was a different story. But Jon did enough skirt chasing for all of them. Colby laid comfortably against his lover for a few minutes before shifted his body so that he was laying flush against the Samoan and tucked his head against his shoulder. Joe noticed.

"What's up man?" he was used to cuddling with his partner but not like this.

"I don't know. I just like the feeling of your heart beating against mine," the younger replied sheepishly. He could feel Joe laugh quietly and hold his breath for a few seconds. His heart was slower than Colby's and the strong thump comforted him. He settled against the Samoan's chest and rested his head there. It was the ultimate comfort to him, feeling and listening to his partner's giant heart beating.

"Good night baby," Joe whispered to him best friend and lover. He wrapped his arms around his teammate and smiled. He felt his lover's heartbeat against his stomach and settle to sleep. Like every night Jon made sure his brothers were asleep before he allowed himself to sleep. After all they were lovers and his brothers.

Colby woke up to his partner's intoxicating scent. Old Spice and something that was uniquely Joe. He was still wrapped in Joe's strong arms. He looked up and saw that as usual, Joe was awake first. He stared into his love's amber brown eyes and stretched up to kiss him. Joe flipped then over so that he was leaning over Colby as they kissed. He laid his head down on Colby's chest like the younger man laid on him last night. Joe thought it was strange that Colby loved to listen to his heart, but didn't like to let him do the same. Too bad though, Colby was pinned under him, his heart hammering against Joe's ear.

Colby finessed himself out from under Joe and cuddled into his warm side. It was pretty nice to just lie there, holding each other. Until someone got hungry that it. A very sleepy US Champion woke and shrugged off his mountain of covers, complaining of needing to eat. Now. Jon was the straight one of the trio, but he often acted the most diva of them all. So they all got ready to find some food, Jon claiming the shower first. Colby had showered the night before and just got dressed. Joe took a moment to look over his lover's half bare body. Colby looked damn good and Joe made a point to tell him that. Colby sauntered over to his tag team partner and nuzzled against his neck, nipping at the pulse that was racing. Both men smiled and made a move to dive back in bed for some "quality time" before thier third teammate whined again, this time about how they so needed to get thier own room.

About an hour later all three emerged from the hotel ready to go to breakfast before heading to the SmackDown taping. They stopped at Wendy's drive through to avoid getting mobbed by fans. They ate in the car, Jon driving and eating at the same time effortlessly, while the Tag Team Champions shared the back seat. Nothing romantic though, after all they were on the road. And besides Antonio had elected to join them in the passanger seat.

Eight hours of taking turns behind the wheel lead them to the hotel. Jon checked them in and returned with the keys. He was going to share with Antonio and made a show of how annoying Colby was and how he practically bounced off the walls last night. Joe smiled and agreed and yelled at Jon for making him share a room with the bundle of energy that was his partner. Antonio and Jon walked off, the former explaining to the latter that he was glad that the three had made room for him since he and Tamina were on the out and out right now. They made such an odd couple and everyone told them that.

JOe and Colby hopped on the elevator, only to sheepishly hop right back off when it opened to thier COO and his wife making out. All four people blushed and Colby explained that he and his partner would just get on the next elevator.

Finally reaching thier room, they had almost four hours before they needed to go to the arena. It was just another day in paradise. And speaking of paradise, four hours is just enough time to play...

/Days later/

The arena was in a frenzy, getting ready for Battleground. The Shield was preparing for the match with the Rhodes family. Neither party wanted this match. Dusty Rhodes had helped all three out and contrary to popular belief, they had hearts. No one wanted to see an entire family fired. Even if it was just storyline. Gloves on and vests fastened, they headed out to where they would go through the crowd. Seeing Dusty et all on the way, they wished them luck.

It was a brutal match and the Rhodes won, much to the pleasure of the crowd. But what the crowd couldn't see was how hurt every man was. Especially Colby. He was sure that he had at least two bruised ribs and several pulled muscles. Joe was hurting as well and Jon had been... whipped. No pun intended. It was hard for everyone not to laugh at that. As soon as they could, they headed back to the hotel, Joe finally showing how concerned he was for his younger lover.

Jon met up with Antonio and the two went to the bar, presumably to find Tamina. Jon was determined to help the two patch things up. Something else people didn't know about the three, Jon was a hopeless romantic. Joe and Colby got to thier room and settled down on one of the beds. Joe gently rolled his lover onto his belly and worked the kinks out of the sore Iowan's back. Colby sighed softly, enjoying the massage.

"Thanks man. Ouch. I think Dustin is to be taken seriously though."

"Yeah. Not as rusty as I had hoped. I'm glad they won though. It makes the story lines less complicated." Joe dove under the covers and Colby gladly joined him, cuddling up against his best freind. Joe wrapped his arms around the smaller man and buried his face in Colby's two toned hair. Colby grabbed the Somaon's hand and pressed a kiss to his palm before holding it to his chest. He could feel his heart beating against his fingertips. And they both soon fell asleep, despite hurting and being banged up. They may have lost the match, but when they had each other, they were never on the losing end.
