All in all, Raw goes better this week than weeks prior. Yeah, Mike still gets kicked almost out of his shoes, but ultimately Seth is left laying, which feels like some level of justification after the last few weeks. Though he's sure there's some fangirl somewhere crying over her favorite getting knocked out on her birthday or something, he's pleased by it.
"You look happy," AJ comments as he walks into their bedroom, humming under his breath.
"I am," he says, leaning over to kiss her. "Always nice to see Seth Rollins get a little payback. Though I wish I had the chance to do it myself, I'll take what I can get."
She smirks, tugging lightly on his collar to pull him in towards her. "Well, if you're happy, I'm happy."
He grins at her and kisses her, dipping her just enough to make her squeal and cling to him. "How have the kids been?" he asks once they're righted and caught their breath a bit.
"They've been good. George was enamored by the snow, we had to go out almost daily just to look at it." She shakes her head. "Who knew we'd have kids who actually wanted snow."
"It's something different for them, I guess. Maybe we should tell them about Vancouver," he chuckles, toeing his shoes off and settling back on their bed, watching as AJ settles down next to him.
"Yeah, well, we've talked about taking them there some day, they'd probably love it," she muses.
"I think so," he says. "We should absolutely do it some day. When I have some time off."
AJ chuckles. "When will that be? I fully expect you to take over Adam Pearce's job or something whenever you do decide to retire from wrestling."
He smirks, kissing the side of her head. "You shouldn't give me ideas, sweetheart."
She chuckles, then shrugs. "I know keeping busy makes you happy. So it's alright if that is something you consider doing. Anybody would probably be better than Pearce, I think."
Mike laughs. "Yeah, probably." He rubs her back. "Thanks for never trying to talk me into leaving the company. I know it's chaotic, I'm always super busy between that and everything with Maryse, and you're always here taking care of the kids. I don't think I say enough how much I appreciate you and everything you do."
AJ sits up, straddles him and strokes his face. "You do," she says fondly. "Trust me, I never doubt how much." She nuzzles closer and kisses him. "I love you," she murmurs.
"I love you too," he sighs before drawing her back in, content to lay there and continue kissing her for as long as they can, until the rest of the world intercedes and they're needed for something else.
