Thank you for reading this far! This is the final chapter in this story. It's a little long, and a touch smutty. It does briefly mention my other story "Life is like Tetris" so give that one a read if you liked this one! Leave me some reviews if you enjoyed!
Skylar is gracious to wake up in Seth's arms the next two days before heading home for 48 hours. With the Royal Rumble just days away she readies her bags with her nicest gear. Her flight to Philadelphia leaves super early Saturday morning. The crowded airport has a loud buzz from the people coming and going, rushing about to and from their gates. Skylar pulls her carry on behind her on the way to baggage claim. Footsteps echo in the long corridor between terminals, some closer than others. A giggle to her left makes her turn her head slightly. She glances over her shoulder to see a figure following her more closely than usual. She does a double take and looks back again. She spins around when she recognizes Nick Jackson. To her delight as she turns around she sees Matt, Marty and Kenny creeping up to surround her. A few steps behind them is Fat Masa, their favorite Japanese sponsor, recording them on his cell phone for an episode of Being The Elite.
"What the hell you guys!?" Skylar shouts at them louder than she intends to, drawing attention of passers by. "What are you doing here?!"
"Ring of Honor tonight," Matt grins as he pulls her into a hug.
Her gaze falls on Kenny, his curly hair falling into his eyes wildly, "You're not booked... What are YOU doing here?"
"What?" His quirky smile feigns innocence. "Can't a loving and caring older brother surprise his little sister... While also making a top secret appearance at Ring of Honor?"
She holds up a finger in an a-ha type gesture. "There we go. The truth comes out," Skylar smirks. "That makes a lot more sense."
"You should come to the show tonight," Marty suggests.
"I doubt I'd be welcome there," Skylar snorts.
"Are you kidding? You'd be welcomed with open arms," Nick assures her.
"I'll run it by Rollins," she says still unconvinced.
Matt's eyes light up, "Show up with him and you guys would be the guests of honor!"
"So the Kingslayer huh?" Nick grins.
Skylar blushes, "It just sort of happened."
"Back off. Let her be," Kenny intervenes before the guys can grill her with more questions. "She doesn't need to explain anything to any of us."
"Well, if you ever realize you're too good for him I'll be here waiting," Marty jokes as he kisses the back of her hand with a smirk.
Skylar just laughs as Kenny takes the lead towards baggage claim. Everyone retrieves their bags and then begins the trek to the rental counter. Kenny and Skylar walk next to each other, the rest of the Bullet Club behind them like a 90's rap video. She smiles when she sees Seth waiting for her in the distance.
He chuckles when they reach him, "The only way that entrance could get any better would be if there was wind blowing you guy's hair majestically."
Seth and Kenny share a handshake before Skylar wraps her arm his torso. He and the Bucks exchange hugs and the conversation quickly turns to Ring of Honor. Before she knows it Seth has excitedly agreed to swing by their show that night. Two cars are rented and the two groups end up at the same hotel. Kenny, the Bullet Club and Masa leave for their venue shortly after, while Seth and Skylar hit the hotel gym for a workout. About halfway through their session Gallows and Anderson come in through the big glass doorway. Skylar shoots them a smile as she finishes a set of squats.
"Oh hey there little Canadian Hoot," Gallows voice booms in the mostly quiet fitness center.
Karl nods at her then joins her in the small stretching area. "Everything okay Hoot?" Genuine concern seems to inhabit his voice. "Haven't seen or heard from you since Monday night. You were a ghost at the house shows this week."
She shrugs a little coldly, "Just trying to spend as little time with Ferg as possible."
"He told me... About... You know," Karl looks down at his feet as he stretches. "I'm sorry that shit went down that way..." She sets her weights down at her feet and puts a hand on Karl's shoulder. "Hey if you ever need anything just ask. Ferg may be my best friend, but Bullet Club is still for life."
"Thanks," she smiles. "No hard feelings Hoot."
Skylar holds her hand out to Too Sweet the Machine Gun. He smiles warmly, content to see that she's not holding any grudges against him. He watches her move on to her next set and goes to join Gallows in front of the mirrored wall, exchanging a friendly nod with Seth along the way. Skylar sidles up to her boyfriend and asks if he's finished with his routine. With a kiss to the forehead he informs her that he is. They grab their water bottles and exit the gym. As the elevator door chimes Seth reaches out and slaps Skylar's ass.
The raven haired firecracker nearly tackles him into the lift. She manages to reach over and slap the button for their floor as she pins him against the wall. Her hands travel up under his shirt, gently running her nails along his muscular chest. He groans, loving every second of their sneaky contact. They manage to get lucky and the elevator takes them straight to their floor. They can barely keep their hands off of each other as they traverse the empty hallway. Seth fumbles with the keycard for a few seconds before they hear the latch click. Sweaty bodies tumble through the threshold into their room. He spins her around and backs her up against the heavy door. Strong hands pull her tank top up over her head, giving him access to her exposed flesh. The rest of their clothes quickly follow, falling to the growing pile on the floor.
He hoists her off the ground, letting her legs wrap around her his body. A gasp followed by a breathy pleasure filled moan escapes her as they come together. Her arms tangle behind his neck as their hips grind together. Rhythmic thrusts, playful nips and passionate kisses consume them. It's as though the world stands still when they're together. He carries her into the bathroom and sets her down on the floor, turning her back to him. In one swift motion he bends her over the sink and they're back at it again. Minutes later their eyes meet in their mirror reflections. His fist snatches a handful of her hair and wrenches her head back towards him. His mouth captures hers, muffling her screams as they both reach their climax.
Panting and exhausted Seth starts the shower. Soon steam begins to fill the room as the water heats up. They step into the cascading water letting it pelt their sore muscles. Once they're clean they take the time to order a light lunch from room service and watch a movie on the TV.
A few hours later they're getting dressed and sneaking through the darkness into the backstage of the Ring of Honor show. With NXT Takeover happening across town they're careful not to be seen by any fans. The Bucks are the first faces they see inside and they're quickly whisked away to the Bullet Club dressing room. The older Omega beams when he sees his little sister come around the corner.
He wraps his arms around her in a tight hug, "Koneko, I'm so glad you made it tonight! I was worried I wouldn't get to see you much on this trip."
"Well, you guys got lucky to come through the airport at the same time as me, Hoshi," Skylar grins.
"Seth, good to see you too," Kenny acknowledges the architect. "I wasn't sure if you'd be comfortable crossing over into enemy territory."
"Haha, yeah I'm sure it wouldn't go over well if they knew we were here," Seth chuckles. "They let me get away with a lot though. I'm just not about to take a bunch of pictures with you guys and post them on my Twitter."
Kenny laughs, "Yeah, Jimmy is around her somewhere. Seems happy enough."
"The performer in him could only stay locked up in the office for so long," Seth explains. "He was miserable."
"Speaking of miserable..." Kenny's gaze moves back to his sister. "Everything okay with you?"
Skylar sighs, "I mean. It's fine. Everything's fine. I just wish I didn't have to play Ferg's girlfriend on TV. Or whatever it is they're aiming for."
"If it bothers you than you should take it to the office," Kenny advises. "Especially if it makes you uncomfortable. Who's in charge over there?"
"Hunter and Steph mostly," she tells him.
"Go to Stephanie, Koneko," Kenny starts to smirk. "Tell her how you don't think it makes sense for two of the hottest stars in the company to be in a fabricated relationship. Ticket and merchandise sales will drop. The idea that you two are available is part of the mistique."
"He's right," Seth concurs. "Women come to shows to see half naked guys that they perceive as single. Steph and Hunter both know that."
"Thanks Hoshi," Skylar smiles. "You guys are right. I'll talk to her tomorrow."
A few moments later Kenny is called away to go over his surprise appearance. Skylar and Seth hang out with the Bullet Club for a bit before seeking out Jimmy Jacobs. They sit and hang out with Seth's best friend, the Zombie Princess, for the rest of the show since he's still under a 'no compete' clause from his WWE contract.
When the show is over the Bullet Club invites Skylar and Seth out for their favorite Japanese cuisine. TGI Fridays. Luckily the restaurant isn't busy. The manager is a wrestling fan and puts their group in a far away private corner of the dining area.
"So did you draw your entry for the Rumble yet, Sky?" Nick asks.
The littlest Omega nods from her place between Kenny and Seth, "I pulled number twenty."
"That's not a bad number!" Marty says encouragingly.
"Not at all," Seth confirms. "Especially for your first Rumble."
Skylar takes a swig of her vodka drink, "I'm not expecting to go out and get to win the whole thing. But I think that spot will get me pretty close to the end. I think they're going with some of the Smackdown girls for the final sequence."
Seth shrugs and rests a hand on her knee, "You never know. Anything could happen tomorrow."
The conversation moves from wrestling to video games. Marty and the Bucks decide that that's their cue to head out. Seth, Skylar and Kenny leave shortly after, excitedly talking about Street Fighter on their short drive back to the hotel. The three of them end up playing a few rounds before finally going to sleep.
The next morning Skylar awakens to a text from Kenny asking her to breakfast. She fires back a confirmation text that she'll meet him downstairs in half an hour. She drags herself out of bed and takes a quick shower. Seth barely stirs as she digs some clothes from her bag. Before exiting the room she scribbles a note on the provided notepad to let him know where she went.
Kenny is sitting in one of the black leather chairs in the lobby when she steps off of the elevator. He greets her with a hug then leads her out the door and across the street to where his rental is parked. They take a short ride down the road to Cracker Barrel. Within minutes they're seated and placing their orders. Food arrives swiftly as they seem to have beaten the breakfast crowd. They eat in relative silence, just enjoying being together.
"So, you and Seth seem to get along pretty well," Kenny takes a sip of his water.
Skylar nods, "We do. He's really sweet." She shovels a bite of her omelet into her mouth as Kenny watches with a smirk.
His crystal blue eyes glitter from across the table, "He's got quite the reputation."
With a deliberate glare Skylar responds, "Don't say it."
He holds up his hands defensively, "I was just going to tell you that I liked him... Despite the reputation." He chews quietly for a few moments while his little sister stares at him, wondering what the catch is. "What?"
"You NEVER like people I date..." She says cautiously.
"No one you've dated has ever asked my permission to date you before," he smiles.
Stunned, Skylar can barely stammer a response, "I'm sorry... What?"
Kenny shrugs as through the statement is absolutely no big deal, "He called me and wanted to make sure I was okay with him seeing you." He chuckles as he watches his sister silently run the gamut of emotions. "I think you guys are cute together."
She wrinkles her nose at him, "You're the worst best brother ever."
"And that's why you love me, Koneko," Kenny laughs. "Come on, let's get you back to the hotel. You've got a long day ahead of you."
The siblings ride back to the hotel idly chatting about this and that. They split up and head their separate ways in the lobby. Knowing Kenny will be heading back to Tokyo first thing in the morning they plan to meet up after the Rumble. By the time Skylar gets back to the room Seth is awake and preparing to go to the arena. She joins him in packing their gear bags and soon they're out the door.
Seth guides their rental through the busy Philadelphia streets with ease. His days in Ring of Honor giving him plenty of time in the area. He glances over at Skylar when they stop at a red light.
"Nervous?" He places a hand on her leg.
"Not really," she sneaks a hand into his. "I'm sure I will be. But right now I'm okay."
The rest of the ride is quiet, and before long they're parking in the underground lot of the arena. The backstage is already a flurry of activity. Superstars are working out in the ring and preparing for meetings to discuss the show. The Women's Rumble is slated to end the show, much to Skylar's delight. She changes into some gym clothes and hits the ring with a few girls to work through some spots.
Time seems to fly by and before they know it the show is close to start time. Skylar makes a point to find Stephanie and Hunter before things get truly insane. They discuss Skylar and Finn's storyline at length. Much to Skylar's relief they completely understand her arguments and agree to can the whole thing. With a huge weight lifted off of her shoulders she can finally prepare for the biggest match of her career.
As planned the women's match closes out the show. The first two competitors enter and the match begins. The crowd of women backstage in gorilla gets smaller and smaller by the minute. Skylar sees former Smackdown Live women's champion, Ravyn Storm approaching the group and smiles. They introduce themselves to one another and chat idly until Ravyn sees her best friend nearing gorilla. Time counts down in the most bizarre mixture of 'faster thank you can blink' and 'dragging on forever'.
The Australian, Toni Storm enters at number sixteen. Ravyn is next at number seventeen. Natalya's music hits for the eighteenth competitor. Skylar fist bumps the returning Piper Niven as she steps into gorilla as number nineteen.
The butterflies finally hit her as she enters the seemingly tiny space. Before she knows it her music is playing. The crowd responds with excited cheers. She makes her way to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Immediately she has to dodge Toni as Piper sends her sailing out over the top to the outside. She takes the opportunity to attack Piper as the blonde is distracted by Toni ranting on the floor. She attempts to eliminate the larger competitor but just can't make it happen alone.
She turns around to come face to face with Ravyn. The two exchange a series of looks. Without any words they team up and manage to eliminate Megaton Barbie, Piper Niven. The sister of Kenny Omega slowly raises her hand and offers a Too Sweet to the new wife of AJ Styles. Ravyn looks from Skylar to the crowd and back. Unsure if she can trust the newcomer. The crowd thunders at the thought of it. The former Smackdown Live women's champion relents and Too Sweets Skylar in return. A decision Skylar instantly regrets as Ravyn attacks her moments later. While the two women battle other competitors enter and get eliminated. When JJ enters the fray at number twenty-six Skylar is caught off guard and promptly eliminated by Ravyn.
Taking Seth's advice she stays down on the floor for a few moments, just to take it all in. The crowd is going crazy for the women in the ring. In the main event. A truly historic moment. Not wanting to dawdle too long she pulls herself to her feet and makes her way to the back between entrants. Seth is there waiting for her when. She comes through gorilla.
"You were great," he tells her with a kiss to the forehead.
She sighs, "Thanks. I thought it went well."
"It did," he confirms. "Come on. Let's get you cleaned up."
"What, are you in a rush to go play video games with your new BFF?" She jokes about his apparent closeness with Kenny.
Seth smirks, "No. I'm in a rush to play with my girlfriend before her brother comes to kick our asses in Street Fighter... Again."
