From my previous account plentyoffandoms.

"Hey, baby sis." I looked up at the sound of my older brother's booming voice and smiled as he pulled me in for a hug, which I returned.

"Hello, Eddie. I didn't see you on my list." I mentally went through the list of people I memorised of who I had to do.

"Can't I just see my favourite sibling?" My eyes narrowed him, wondering what he wants. "No, what do you want?"

"My cigarettes." I scoffed at him and shook my head no.

"Nope. You asked me to hold on to them so you don't smoke them. I flushed them down the toilet."

Cue, the silly argument that had anyone who passed the room, looked in and saw us arguing.

"Umm, sorry to interrupt, but I gotta get ready." Eddie and I looked at the sound of the new voice, and I smiled when I saw who it was.

"No interruption, Colten. Eddie was just leaving. Weren't you Eddie?"

"Yes. See you later, Colten, baby sis."

I breathed a sigh of relief when my brother finally left the room. "Should I even ask what that was about this time?" Colten asked as he sat in the chair.

"He wants to quit smoking. So he gave me his cigarettes to hold on to, but I flushed them." I told him as I got to work on his hair.

"And you didn't think that he wouldn't want them back?" Colten asked me as I started to work on his hair.

I pulled his hair back just enough for him to feel it, and I looked down into his eyes, and I almost forgot what the hell I was even going to say, but it came back to me.

"Of course I did, Mr. Sopp, but I want him to stick around for a long time. So that is why I flushed them." Our faces were close, and I could see him looking at my lips until he cleared his throat and muttered his apologies.

I let go of his hair and stood in front of him to work on the front, and I could feel his eyes boring into me, but I didn't say anything, just focusing on trying to get his hair done.

Ever since I started here, Colten and I have slowly become best friends. It first started off with him flirting with me, but most of the guys did, but his idea of flirting wasn't like the usual ones.

No, no. He used a line on me that I had never heard of, and it still sicks out in my mind all these weeks later.

"Your eyes are like IKEA. I could get lost in them for hours."

I sadly broke out into a fit of laughter, but so did he, and he seemed to break the ice between us, and we have been almost inseparable ever since.

"So which line do you have for me today, Colten?" I leaned against my little makeup desk and waited for him to give me his best cheesy line.

"Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?"

I covered my mouth as I let out a snort.

"Oh lord, that is cheesy."

"Well, I am wrong, aren't I? Don't I deserve a kiss." He puckered his lips and blew a kiss at me.

I gripped his chin and turned his head, and kissed his cheek, letting my lips linger on his skin just a tad longer than I should.

I cleared my throat and took a step to the side to let him up stand up.

"We still on for dinner tonight?" He asked me.

"Of course. Just let me know where and I will be there."

◆

Weeks turned into months, and a day doesn't go by where Colten and I aren't attached at the hip. People have asked if we are dating, but I always say we are just friends, best friends, to be exact.

Even my darling older brother was on my case. He was sitting in my chair, looking at me as I got set up for the day.

"Are you sure there is nothing going on between you and Colten?"

"Eddie, for the thousandth time, Colten and I are just friends." I felt a pang in my heart when I said that.

"The way how you two look at each other, you would think that there is something more."

"Well, there isn't."

COLTEN GUNN'S POV:

I was sitting in her chair as she did her magic with my hair. I know my hair takes a bit with how curly it is, but she never complains and doesn't seem to hurt me when she brushes my hair.

"So I was scrolling through your Instagram the other day, and I went back years." I groaned when she said that to me. But I have done the same thing to her as well.

"I found this photo." Before I knew it, I was staring at myself from a few years ago.

"And?" I was clearly confused.

"Why don't you wear your hair like this anymore?"

Honestly? I don't know why, but before I knew it, my big mouth was speaking without even a single thought from my brain.

"Because, now there is more than enough for a woman to grip."

The air seemed to thicken as she lowered her phone, and I saw her gulp and looked away.

"You coming to the party tonight?" I asked her, trying to ease the tension.

"I don't think so. I may just go to my hotel room and sleep."

"Come with me. I know you don't like parties, but I want you to be my plus one." I didn't have a plus one. Anyone could come.

"I'll let you know, Colten."

◆

I was more than surprised to see that she said to pick her up from her hotel room. The moment she opened the door, my mouth went dry.

She always looks good to me, no matter what she wares, but right now, fuck. Her done, makeup done, in a dress that is showing off her curves.

I cleared my throat and held my arm out. "Your chariot awaits, my lady." I could feel my face heating up when she placed her hand on my arm.

◆

The party was in full swing, and the guys were like vultures when it came to her. The minute I went to get us drinks, they surrounded her, so I am standing off to the side as I watched everyone flirt with her.

"You gonna lose her, Colten." I looked over to see Eddie standing there.

"Eddie, not this again."

"Look at her. She is looking for you." I did look at her, and he is right. "Go to her. You're the only one I approve of out of this godforsaken lockeroom."

He and I both knew I didn't need his approval, that she could make her own choices, but him saying that had me making my way through the crowd, standing behind her and tapping her shoulder.

She turned around, smiling once she saw it was me.

I grabbed her hand and turned, walking to somewhere we could talk in private, but she pulled her hand back, not letting go of mine, but to stop me from walking. I stopped and looked at her, raising one eyebrow at her.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her flushed against my body, ready to say those simple words. The ones I have been dying to say for months.

"I like you Colten." "I like you." We both said at the same time.

Neither one of us caring at that moment that we were surrounded by a bunch of friends, family and strangers as I leaned down and kissed her, properly for the first time.

We were so wrapped up in one another, that I forgot we were at a party. That was until someone told us to get room.

We broke our kiss, and we started to dance. All the guys who flirted with her all night left her alone.

It was just the two of us, happy and in our own little world for the rest of the night.

Warnings: None

A/N: It’s been a while since I’ve been on here and I’m excited to be back! This is my first time writing for Colten so bear with me! @ylenyasstuff I hope you like it ❤️

It’s been five months since you left your job at AEW and now here you are, back to give this another shot. Why did you leave in the first place? Because of Colten Gunn and it’s not in a bad way. You worked as a booker and little by little, day after day you noticed your feelings towards the oldest Gunn brother was changing.

You were on the verge of falling for him.

When you first arrived at AEW, you didn’t have any intention on falling for anyone but then came Colten Gunn knocking on your little makeshift office door. Austin was preset as well but, truthfully, you didn’t notice him at first.

“Welcome to AEW!” Colten beamed, arms outstretched as if to show off the place. “We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to be the first to give you the grand tour.”

You were taken aback at how excited he was to be given this task. You didn’t know what to expect when you arrived, especially with Tony Kahn being busy with boss man duties. He assured you that you would be in good hands for your first day. You expected him to send The Young Bucks or Kenny Omega or Britt Baker or Willow Nightingale to be the welcome wagon and your guide for today but lo and behold, he sent the Gunns. You’re not complaining but it definitely surprised you.

“Thanks for the warm welcome,” you smiled. Movement from behind Colten caught your attention and that’s when you finally noticed his brother. Austin was standing back watching the interaction, a small smirk playing on his lips. What’s that about? You shrugged it off and introduced yourself to them.

The Gunns showed you around and before long it felt like you all had known each other for years. It was comforting to have an instant friendship so early into your career at AEW.

Fast forward a few months and things were still great. You were booking huge matches and doing your best to help tell stories that people would remember and connect with. Your friendship with Colten and Austin was going great, although you ended up being closer to Colten in the end. Maybe that wasn’t as good of a thing as you thought.

As time went on, you began to notice your feelings changing towards Colten. No. You cannot ruin this friendship with unrequited love. You tried to bury those feelings down and pretend they didn’t exist. You couldn’t fall for arguably your best friend. Unfortunately, those feelings became too hard to hide and you knew you were in trouble. You were at risk of losing your rock. Your anchor. Your best friend.

Why are you stressing out so much about this? What if he feels the same and all is well and good? Well, you have a rule — Do not date your coworkers.

That rule is why you asked Tony Kahn for time away. You needed space from Colten to clear your head and forget about those feelings. Surely it was just some weird ‘I like him because he showed me around and has been there for me’ kind of thing. Right?

Time will tell.

You pushed open the doors to the arena AEW was at this week and started tracking down Tony. You finally managed to find him talking to some crew members on the ramp way leading to the ring. The conversation wrapped up and you cheerfully greeted him. “Hi Tony! What do you have for me?”

Tony filled you in on what’s going on in regard to your job and the matches that will be taking place tonight. He showed you to a similar makeshift office that you had on your first day. That’s when the memories came rushing back. All the times Colten hung out with you when he wasn’t needed for backstage interviews or matches. It’s all going to be fine. It has to be.

Thankfully you didn’t see Colten at all or Austin either. Some of your friends came by to welcome you back and expressed how happy they were to see you again. All felt right, even when you were packing up some things to head out in the next ten minutes…. Until Colten popped up in the doorway. Oh no. Breathe. It’s fine. You’re just friends.

“Sorry I hadn’t been able to come by and welcome you back,” he noticed your bag on your desk and you sliding your laptop in its case. “I’m about to be heading out too. Want me to walk you out?”

You tried not to look nervous as you zipped up your bag. “Y-yeah. That would be great.” Just friends. You’re just friends despite the fact that your heart is doing flips and your hands are slightly shaky. You threw your bag on your shoulder and grabbed your phone. When you looked up at Colten, he was watching you with a look you couldn’t quite place.

The two of you walked and talked about what you’ve missed. You couldn’t help but laugh at a story Colten told about how badly Austin embarrassed himself in front of this girl at a bar. “It couldn’t have went any worse. I swear his face was as red as lobster.” Colten laughed.

His laugh. His contagious smile. His gorgeous eyes. They were not helping you convince yourself that you and Colten are just friends. Get it together!

“I have a question.” Colten said once you both had arrived at your rental car. You motioned for him to continue, not trusting your voice to be steady enough to answer. “Why did you leave? Did something happen? Did someone say or do something to make you feel like you didn’t belong?” His face was covered with concern and a small mixture of hurt and anger at the thought of someone being the reason you felt the need to leave. Little does he know, he’s the reason.

You thought about how to answer for a moment, searching for the right words. “I..” you paused, taking a breath, knowing that what you were about to say would change everything. “I left because of you,” you quietly replied. You saw the look on his face — confusion, hurt, a flash of anger even appeared on his face. “It’s not because of anything bad!” You were quick to reassure him. “It was because I have this rule and you were going to make me break it. And I couldn’t do that. I couldn’t ruin our friendship.” You rambled, hoping he heard it all.

“What’s the rule?” Colten asked after a moment to let the information you just gave soak in. “I swear I didn’t mean to do anything bad or wrong or upset you.”

You took another breath and knew your rule was absolutely about to be broken. You knew in that moment your feelings for Colten weren’t going away any time soon, if ever. “The rule is don’t date your coworkers. I always prided myself on following that rule at every job I’ve ever had but then I come here and meet you and then little by little feelings changed. I could feel myself starting to—“ you cut yourself off. You didn’t want to scare him away, but honestly, it didn’t look like he was going anywhere as you finally looked into his eyes. He had this look that you’ve seen in movies. Admiration.

“You left because you were falling in love with me?” Colten’s eyebrows raised and he couldn’t resist the smile that made its way to his face. “I’ll be honest. I was miserable when you left and I thought it was just because we were close friends but the longer you were gone, Austin and Jay and Juice were convinced it was because I had fell for you. And finally, I didn’t argue with them anymore about it because I knew they were right.” Never once did Colten’s eyes leave yours. In the middle of his confession, he had taken your hands in his.

No unrequited love? No rejection? You wanted to cheer but refrained. This moment was too perfect to ruin. “I left to clear my head but now that I’m back, I know you’re worth breaking my rule for. Especially after what you just said. I was falling for you then and I’m falling for you now.”

“I’m happy you’re breaking your rule for me. I’m just curious about something though.” A smirk played on his lips. You didn’t know what he was about to ask but it was clearly going to be mischievous.

“What’s that?”

“How many more rules are you willing to break for me?”

A blush crept up on your cheeks as you playfully smacked his chest, a laugh escaping your lips. It’s clear you’re in for a ride with this one.

Hi can you do a female reader and Austin Gunn. Where reader is friends with Acclaimed but he has a thing for her, at first she can’t stand him, but then he saves her from getting hurt on the outside of the ring during a match and she sees he really does have feelings for her.

Pairing: Austin Gunn x Female!Reader

Warnings: 18+ Blog, Fluff, Friendship, Reader dislikes Austin at first

Imagine Requests: Open!

You stared at Austin as he went over the match with your two buddies, Max and Anthony who ran the tag team The Acclaimed.

"Bro." You spoke, having Max, Anthony, Austin and Colten look at you. "Your voice it's just so... ugh." You dug your fingers against your temples, massaging it.

"Y/N, be nice. They're just helping us go over the match for tonight." Max informed you.

"Yeah but." You pointed out to Austin who frowned.

"You know, Y/N, I'd think you'd like me by the way you're teasing." Austin smirked.

You nearly gagged. "You wish."

As the night went on it was now time for the tag team match. The Gunns vs The Acclaimed. Everyone was on their feet as all the boys were going at each other to put on a great show. You stood ring side cheering for your boys while Colten was putting a pounding on Max. "Come on Max!" You shouted.

Colten gave Max a nasty clothesline over the top rope in front of you. "Y/N, look out!" Anthony yelled.

Two large hands grabbed your waist pulling you out of harms way and towards the corner of the ring. Your heart raced, you usually got out of the way on time but if you didn't Max could have crushed you. "Are you okay?"

Looking up to see Austin was the one who saved you, you cracked a shy smile and nodded. "Good." Austin let go of you and rushed to the corner to get tagged in.

You stood there, not believing that Austin broke character to save you. Swallowing thickly you hoped that Tony didn't see this and make it into a love story.

Unexpectedly — Austin Gunn. [ one shot; part one ]

; will this be a series? perhaps but welcome to my second attempt at writing on tumblr, it still feels new but I'll get used to it. Austin Gunn has grown on me, and he deserves appreciation sooo let's get on with it. [ this is a developing story but I figured I can post some blurps here ] — ( also no disrespect to his real life girlfriend cause she's cute asf )

— genre; fluff ... a whole lot of fluff

p.s special thanks to my girl Tish aka @worldxwonders for letting me use her badass character Jordan Taylor.

also Austin is so freaking cute okay 🥺

" Oh no! " muttered Vanessa as she checked the recent text on her phone.

Jordan glanced at her best friend from where she sat, " What's wrong? "

" My best friend Connar, she's getting married to Aaron and has decided to do a small wedding, she invited me and said I should bring a plus one " said Vanessa, " emphasis on the 'plus one' cause she has been on my case in terms of dating again "

" She isn't wrong " Jordan snickered, " Vanessa you've finally moved past Colby, you're in the best place of your life — and rumor has it that a certain son of a Gunn has his eye on you "

" Stop with the nonsense Jordan, there is no way that Austin likes me, I mean the guy can get any girl he wants; why would he go for someone like me? " said Vanessa, reaching for her makeup brush to start getting ready.

" I beg to differ! " said Britt Baker from where she sat. " I saw the way he was looking at you last Dynamite, if that isn't the definition of heart eyes I don't know what is! "

" Plus, he turns into a babbling mess whenever you are around " said Nyla chiming in with a grin, " I think it's so cute "

Jordan was smiling, " good to know I ain't the only one noticing "

Stella, the head make up artist who was currently working on Jordan's look smiled, " Last week I overheard him chatting with his brother over wanting to get you a present for your ten year anniversary of being a wrestler " she added.

The girls released a unanimous " Oooh " over what Stella had said, Vanessa's cheeks reddened — " Guys " she whined shaking her head, " can you just stop? "

" Not until you admit that y'all have something! Don't think we didn't notice the flirtatious comments " said Jordan.

" Or how protective Austin gets whenever he sees MJF flirting with you " said Britt.

" It's true " Nyla laughed, " He does look like he wants to kill him "

" You should ask him to be your date to the wedding " said Stella. " That way you two can finally come face to face with what everyone has been seeing all along "

" Remind me why I agreed to be a part of All Elite Wrestling again " said Vanessa.

" Because you wanted to make a change and here you are making a change " said Jordan smiling. " and hopefully getting your second chance at happiness "

Vanessa ignored them and continued on with applying her makeup, despite Stella's insistence — Vanessa told her not to worry as Vanessa wanted to go with a more natural look since she was only accompanying Jordan for her match against Tay Conti.

— Later on,

Austin had remembered hearing how Vanessa liked talking about the moon and constellations; when he found the necklace which had two sets of constellations on it — he knew it was the perfect gift for her ten year anniversary of being a wrestler.

Austin's older brother, Colten peeked at the necklace with a grin. " She'll love it, especially since it came from you. Don't worry so much "

" I am not worrying about anything, I just ... Vanessa's a unique girl man, she's not like anyone I've ever met " muttered Austin.

" Instead of pining over her like that, ask her out " said Colten.

" She wouldn't go for someone like me! She's like two years older, she's probably looking for someone more mature " said Austin.

" Dude, are you serious? Two years is nothing — and I know for a fact that she likes you because you guys have chemistry, it shows just ask Dad " said Colten.

Kip piped up from where he was sitting, " That girl is good for you kid, she brings out the best in you so I agree with your brother, you should ask her out "

Austin shook his head, " I'll see " he mutters.

Suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he sees Vanessa entering the catering area, once their eyes locked he immediately glanced down at his phone hoping she didn't notice the pinkish tint across his cheeks.

" Hi Vanessa " said Colten rather loudly, grinning at his brother's glare.

" Hi guys, um ... Austin, can I talk to you for a minute? alone " said Vanessa sweetly.

" Colten, come on we got something to do " said Kip standing up.

" You're right Dad, we do. Let's go, see you later Vanessa " said Colten, leaving with his Dad.

Vanessa waved at them, then sat down across from Austin. " This will sound weird, okay maybe not too weird but you get my drift "

" Okay! " Austin smiled.

" So here's the thing; my best friend Connar, she's getting married in like two days and um ... she suggested or more like insisted on me going with a plus one, she's been on my case when it comes to dating for a while and I figured since we're um, friends maybe you can come with me to the wedding. it's a small affair you know, with the pandemic so ... would you um, be my plus one to the wedding? "

Austin was surprised, just earlier; both his brother and father were suggesting he asks her out only to be presented with a window of opportunity. " I don't see why not, I'll go with you " he answered smiling.

" You have no idea how much you just saved my life, thank you so much " said Vanessa smiling in relief.

" Hey anything to help you out Snake girl " said Austin.

" I better go find Jordan, I'll text you the details later. Thank you so much again " said Vanessa rushing out of catering.
