Eddie Edwards fondly remembered the day that he had met Davey Richards. It seemed like only yesterday he had sat down with the older man at a diver bar after a Ring of Honor show to be both confidant to a secret and revealer of his own. A lot had transpired since then. One could barely say the name Eddie Edwards without mentioning the name Davey Richards in the same breath. From their time in Ring of Honor to their bust of a time in NXT, to their new home in TNA as their careers moved together, so did their relationship. The duo had gone from simply tag team partners to friends and, once Lyra Dawn had come into their lives rather unexpectedly, to a couple with a now adult child.

Yet, there were times when Eddie wasn't quite as happy with himself these days as he was with their relationship.

Eddie loved that Davey was known by the rest of the TNA locker room as the reliable one. His husband had a massive chip on his shoulder, seemed to want to try do the best by the rest of the boys in the back. That was something that had changed in Davey that Eddie knew was for the better. Davey no longer wanted to stay at arm's length from everyone else. He honestly took to being a leader in the locker room as well as he had taken to being a father.

People listened to what Davey said. The same could not be said of himself, and Eddie hated it.

Just because he was bubbly and bright, treating everyone with a happy and upbeat attitude, people seemed to think that he was more childish than the rest of the roster. While it was partially true, Eddie was also one of the senior wrestlers in the locker room and he would have liked to have a little bit more control over the things that went on. Maybe that's why he had brought on this new demeanor since Davey had been injured. Eddie tried to react to everyone cooly without the telltale smile that usually gave off his attitude.

When Davey had seen how his husband's attitude had changed, he had seen enough.

The duo were sitting downstairs in the basement, an X-Box controller in Eddie's hand as he and Davey finished up another round of Halo. It was one of the few things they could do together while Davey was injured, so video games had become a good tell of how they could keep the teamwork alive. "So," Davey began, "what's gotten into you lately? Don't think I haven't noticed the change you've had going on."

Eddie gave a grin that feigned innocence, "Oh, you know, I'm just trying some new things out."

"Uh-huh," Davey took the fake smile in, turning to both prop up his foot on the couch and look Eddie square in the eyes, "Now give me the real reason. Just trying some new thing out is not a good enough answer."

Eddie couldn't help but notice the tone of voice that Davey had with him was akin to how he would lecture Lyra, "Well...maybe I just want to change."

"Why would anyone like you want to change?" Davey charmed with a shrug, "you're fantastic. You're amazing. You're-"

"Treated like a child just because I like to give a smile and a laugh and treat everyone kindly," Eddie shook his head, standing to walk over to the fridge and retrieve a Pepsi, "I want to be taken seriously. I want to be treated like the ring vet I am."

There was a silence before Davey questioned, "Do you remember how we met?"

"Yeah, at a bar-"

"No," Davey shook his head, "I mean, technically yeah, that's true. But how did we really meet? What did you first say to me?"

Eddie refused to look at Davey, but he spoke gently, "I asked you why you did that to yourself, drinking all the time."

"More importantly," Davey took a gentle hold of one of Eddie's hands as he sat back down, "we met because you, a total stranger, cared about someone else more than you cared about yourself. I would have kept drinking, probably into an early grave. But you 𝒉𝒆𝒍��𝒆𝒅 me. You chose to reach out to me and you 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒆𝒅 me. Hell, where would our Lyra be if you hadn't helped her?"

"But others-"

"Aren't worth the energy if they treat you lesser," Davey chastised, "Do you wanna know the real benefit you bring to the back is? It's not your ring experience or your experiences around the world. Nah. The real benefit you bring to the back is looking after everyone. People know if they have an issue, they can go to you and you? You will do the hardest thing there is to do, Eddie. You will 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏. 𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏, not judge, and give them honest advice. You're more than a ring vet to these boys and girls. You're a decent human being."

Eddie blushed and finally turned to look at Davey, resting his forehead against his partners, "What would I do without you?"

"Baby," Davey pressed a gentle kiss to his lips, "You'll never have to find out."
