in which y/n and kent hide a big secret from his teammates.

warnings; pregnancy, mention of kids, alcohol, vacation

Kent was the kind of guy who always seemed at ease, the life of the party but with a quiet confidence that drew everyone to him. You had fallen for him long ago, when the two of you were young teenagers, and now, you were his everything. This vacation with his teammates was supposed to be fun, a chance to unwind, but you had a secret - one that had been growing for months.

You were pregnant. 

Kent was ecstatic when you told him. He’d hugged you so tightly that night, whispering about the future, about how perfect everything was going to be. But now, here you both were, on this vacation with Sean Kuraly, Cole, Gavin, and Adam, and neither of you had told them. The timing wasn’t right - in fact, you guys hadn’t even told your families. Maybe they’d get suspicious, or worse, maybe they’d feel like you were holding out on them. Kent was sure they’d freak out once they knew.

But here you were, at Sean’s beach house in Cape Cod. While the rest of the boys had flown, you and Kent had decided to make the 16 hour drive from Columbus, simply to spend more time with each other before having to share a living space with the others for two weeks. Once you had arrived, though, everyone was exhausted and just wanted to spend the first night in. In fact, Adam had suggested a few card games.

There was only one problem. On top of that, Cole had suggested alcohol. You looked at Kent nervously, but he gave you a reassuring smile as Sean turned to you, “Y/N, come up with a challenge for us. Whoever loses has to buy drinks.”

This was perfect. You nodded, picking up your phone and opening a random wheel spinner. You had each of the boys pick an NBA team, but when it came to entering them onto the wheel, you entered Kent’s all four times. So, when the wheel stopped spinning, you announced the team out loud, “The Minnesota Timberwolves.”

Sean, Adam, and Cole all cheered as Kent pretended to roll his eyes, but he sneakily shot you a knowing smile before picking up his keys from the counter. The boys slapped him on the back a few times but he shook them off, gently grabbing your arm, “Since your challenge is the reason I lost, you’re coming with me.”

You playfully rolled your eyes, but immediately gave in. Adam snickered behind you as Sean and Cole let out a few cheers. Kent wrapped an arm around you and opened the door for you, gently leading you to his car. As soon as you were out of earshot, Kent spoke up softly, “You feeling okay?”

You couldn’t lie. The exhaustion was creeping in. The pregnancy was still early, and you weren’t showing much, but the morning sickness, the fatigue – it was all becoming harder to hide. Kent had noticed the change in you almost immediately, but knew that it had grown harder for you in the past couple of weeks. He was worried. He was so excited to have a little him or little you around the house soon enough, but also hated seeing how hard it was on you. On top of that, he knew that you wanted to keep it a secret for as long as you could, and he knew you’d be even more stressed if people were to find out, so he didn’t want to spill anything. 

In fact, he questioned even coming on this trip, but you had explained that you’d needed it. Whether he believed you or not, was only up for him to decide. 

He opened the car door for you and you waited to reply until he was buckled in on the other side, “Just tired,” you answered, offering him a small smile. 

He rubbed the pad of his thumb across your cheek, “Let me know if you need anything, okay?”

You nodded, offering him another small smile. The drive to the liquor store was rather quiet. Kent had put on some Frank Ocean, which you both had softly hummed along to until you pulled into the parking lot. 

Kent turned off the car and exited his side, only to appear on your side of the car a few seconds later to open the door for you. You grabbed his hand and as soon as he knew you were safely out of the car, he placed his arm on the small of your back protectively. The cool night breeze rolled in off of the ocean as you made your way through the parking lot. The distant sound of the waves crashing against the shore helped ease some of the nerves that had been building up inside of you.

“I feel like I’m gonna slip up at some point,” you admitted, resting your head against your boyfriend’s shoulder, “Cole’s just gonna keep offering me drinks and it’s gonna be suspicious if I keep saying no.”

Kent rubbed your back with the pad of his thumb, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of your head reassuringly, “You’re doing great, pretty girl. But I’ll tell you what. We’ll buy an extra pack of drinks, dump them out, and then go to the grocery store to buy some non-alcoholic alternatives that we can put in there instead. I would say we’d just buy some non-alcoholic beer here and have you drink that, but Adam’s overly observant.” he chuckled.

You nodded, shooting your boyfriend a relieved smile. You always appreciated how calm and steady he was. Even though you were both navigating this secret together, Kent always managed to make you feel like everything was under control.

When you stepped inside, the cool air-conditioning hit you immediately as the door jingled behind you. Kent headed straight for the fridge, grabbing a couple cases of beer and a bottle of whiskey that he knew Sean would like. You followed suit, selecting a case of High Noon out of the fridge. 

“Ready?” Kent asked, shooting you a smile when you replied with a yes.

As you reached the counter to pay, the cashier raised an eyebrow at you and Kent, his eyes flicking to your stomach before looking back at Kent. You shifted uncomfortably, aware that people might notice your changing body sooner rather than later. Kent caught the look too but didn’t say anything, keeping the conversation casual with the cashier as he handed over the money.

When you stepped back outside, you breathed a little easier. “Think he noticed?” you asked, half-joking.

“What an asshole,” Kent muttered, rolling his eyes playfully. 

The trip to the grocery store was pretty uneventful. Kent had gone in and picked out a sparkling water brand that you liked, along with some flavored sodas that looked fancy enough to pass as mixed drinks. On top of that, he grabbed a few more things, making sure you’d have enough variety to keep up appearances for the next few days. Once the cart was full, he checked out, the cashier giving him a friendly nod as he paid for the items.

When Kent reached the car, he opened your passenger side door. “Now comes the tricky part,” he said with a grin, opening up the package of High Noon and dumping out the drinks. He grabbed a few water bottles from his trunk before flushing out the alcohol from the cans - and thoroughly.

“I think that’s good, KJ,” you chuckled, flashing him a smile. He looked up at you and flashed you one in return.

“Gotta keep my girls safe,” he explained, ruffling your hair before opening up the bottles of sparkling water and pouring them into the clean cans with the same care, resealing them to make sure they looked untouched. Everything looked perfect - no one would suspect a thing. Kent stood back and took a moment to admire his work, placing the resealed package at your feet before ruffling your hair again. 

You rolled your eyes, shaking him off, before he quickly made his way back to his side of the car and hopped in. You looked at him incredulously, “We don’t even know what we’re having yet!” you exclaimed, but you knew there was no point in arguing. Ever since you told him that he was going to be a dad, he was adamant that the two of you were having a baby girl. Of course, he’d be happy as long as the baby’s safe and healthy, but that didn’t change his fatherly instinct, as he liked to call it. You rolled your eyes again, chuckling softly, and were on your way back to the beach house.

When the two of you arrived back there, Sean, Cole, and Adam’s rowdy laughter could be heard through the walls as you and Kent slipped through the side door into the kitchen. When he looked over towards you, he noticed how you self-consciously had placed your arms over your growing bump. Sensing your discomfort, he softly placed the alcohol down and gifted you the hoodie off of his back.

You smiled gratefully at him, grabbing the “seltzers” from him as he carried the whiskey and beer. The two of you carried the drinks out to the main room, where Sean, Cole, and Adam were engrossed in a game of Black Jack.

“Finally!” Cole exclaimed, dropping his cards as he noticed the two of you walk in, “We were wondering what took you so long!”

You chuckled, placing the drinks down on the table alongside Kent, “It’s Friday night in a vacation town,” Kent explained, shrugging his shoulders to keep it casual. Adam nodded along, seemingly saying fair enough.

As the guys reached for the beer and whiskey, Kent grabbed one of the “seltzer” cans and handed it to you with a wink. You accepted it gratefully, taking a sip and letting the cool, refreshing taste calm your nerves. He then wrapped an arm around you as you cuddled into his side.

The night continued on, with no one suspicious about what you and Kent had just pulled off. The boys were yelling about the game of euchre they were playing, earning a soft but playful eye roll from you. Kent kept a watchful eye on you, making sure you were comfortable, all while seamlessly blending in with his teammates.

As the night wore on, the laughter in the living room began to slow, and you could feel the weight of exhaustion settling over you. Between traveling all day and the energy it took to keep up appearances, your body was calling for rest. You smiled at the guys, pretending to stifle a yawn as you pushed your chair back from the table.

“I think I’m gonna call it a night,” you said, glancing around the room, “I’m pretty wiped from today.”

Sean, Cole, and Adam all gave you understanding looks, still focused on their cards and drinks. “You’ve earned it,” Sean said with a grin, “We’ll try not to be too loud and keep you up.”

“Good luck with that,” Adam teased, “Cole’s not exactly the quietest person you’ll ever meet.” 

You laughed lightly as Cole smacked Adam upside the head. Standing up and giving Kent a quick look, your eyes communicated more than words could in that moment. He caught your glance immediately, knowing exactly what you meant. You needed him with you, but at the same time, you didn’t want to raise suspicion by him leaving too soon after you.

“I’ll be up in a bit,” he said, giving you a small, reassuring smile, “I’ll keep an eye on Cole and make sure he’s not too loud.”

You nodded, giving him a quick hug and offering the guys a wave before slipping away from the table. As you climbed the stairs, you could hear them still talking and laughing, their voices a soft hum in the background. Once you were upstairs, you exhaled a long breath of relief, the tension of the day finally easing as you made your way to your room. 

You changed into your pajamas, feeling the weight of the day lifting as you settled onto the bed. It didn’t take long for Kent to join you. About 30 minutes later, you heard his familiar footsteps on the stairs, and the door quietly creaked open.

“Hey,” he said softly, closing the door behind him as he moved toward the bed, “You okay?”

You smiled, nodding as he sat down beside you, “Yeah, just tired. It was a lot today.”

Kent slid into bed next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and pulling you into his chest. “I know. You did so good today, pretty girl. No one suspects a thing.”

You chuckled softly, resting your head against his chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat calming you, “Thanks for helping me pull it off. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Kent kissed the top of your head, his voice low and comforting, “Of course, my love. We’re a team.”

The two of you stayed like that for awhile, the soft sounds of the ocean outside your window mixing with the distant murmur of voices from downstairs. It felt peaceful, the weight of the day finally lifting now that you were alone together.

“I can’t wait until they're here,” you whispered after a few moments of silence, your hand resting gently over your stomach.

Kent smiled against your hair, his arm tightening around you, “Me too. But until then, we’ll keep playing it cool for as long as we can. You get some rest, though, alright? You’ve had a long day.”

You nodded, feeling sleep begin to pull at you as Kent’s warmth and presence comforted you, “Goodnight, KJ.”

“Goodnight, Y/N/N,” he whispered, pressing another soft kiss to your forehead.

With Kent beside you, you felt safe and content, knowing that no matter what challenges the next days would bring, you had him by your side. As your eyes fluttered shut, the last thing you felt was Kent’s hand gently resting on your stomach, a quiet reminder that the two of you were in this together. Always.

a/n; would kj be a girl dad or a boy dad

@omg-im-such-a-masochist found this for you

I wish you would write a fic where ... yandere Adam Cole "plays" hide and seek with you in what he thinks is a fun type of foreplay but is actually a serious attempt to escape by you

Hide & Seek

Your hand was clasped over your mouth, trying to keep any sound from escaping. You weren't sure where Adam was, but he didn't know where you were either, so you needed to take advantage. What had started as Adam making you cuddle on the couch for movie night turned into the power going out and you attempting to run. No power meant the security system was down, this was your chance.

"Come out, come out wherever you are..." Adams sing song voice called out, making you push your body further into the hiding place. You had run into the den, just down the hall from the front door, when you had heard footsteps. "I'm gonna find you, baby..." Of course, he thought this was some sort of game.

You stayed quiet, listening to him leave the room. You waited a few minutes before moving from your hiding spot, carefully leaving the room. You glanced around the dark area and hearing nothing; you made a run for it. You were so close, only a few more steps...

You felt an arm grab you, yanking you both to the ground as you cried out. The fall was painful, and the feeling of the body on top of yours didn't help. Adam breath was warm on your neck as he took deep breaths, laying kisses along the exposed skin.

"Damn, we should do this more often. Definitely got me going." Adam whispered, grinding his boner into your ass as you cried silently. You'd been so close, a few more seconds and you would be out the door. "I'm going to fucking destroy you, my little prize." Adam spoke, and you fully believed every word.

〔Pairing: Adam Cole & Rachelle White〕

《Summary: Adam Cole comes back after World's End to surprise his Girlfriend of 3 years, since he's been on the road for 4 months (I'm working on one of these with Will Ospreay) But she breaks down instead not expecting him to return until late March》

[Rachelle's POV:]

I was watching AEW replays on my TV, my apartment was a mess. I'd been hit with alot of sadness this week, I was missing my boyfriend Adam.. Roderick had come to pick him up from my apartment 4 months ago, and i had felt abandoned.. I was lying on my couch while the TV played the AEW sound, I almost fell asleep until I heard a knock at my door. I had quickly opened it to See Adam, my Boyfriend! He'd come back, without his friends too.

I hugged him and began to cry.. I couldn't control myself

"Dove... Calm down" He said

"I'm sorry, I've just been going through alot.." I sighed

"It's fine, I'll call Taven and Bennett, you go shower and I'll fix this place up." He said

"Ok." I hummed

I began to start the shower and began to shower, I had felt so much better than before.

MEANWHILE:

『Matt Taven's POV:』

Me and Mike were called over to Rachelle's Place by Adam, we've been there a couple times. But not really in a weird way, most of the time Adam just wanted to stream games with us.

But Adam needed our help this time, He got a bad injury 3 months ago and broke his Ankle, so it's still healing up. I had no problem with helping Adam, but Mike clearly did. He complained the entire drive there until Roderick Slapped his face.

We arrived at The house and walked inside, We had to Help Adam with a couple random dishes that were everywhere, I was lucky I had brought Adam that Blanket He'd gotten specifically for Rachelle, So I while I was busy with the dishes, Mike was Vacuuming the floor, and Roddy was busy scrubbing and deep cleaning the table.

<After Rachelle Gets out of the shower>

[Rachelle's POV:]

I got out of the Shower and went to my room, I grabbed one of Adam's old Tees and threw it on with a pair of shorts.

I went into the living and was shocked at what Adam accomplished with the boys, I felt so bad for Mike and Matt though, since they got cut a couple times and were now bleeding a smidge.

I sat down on the couch and Adam put on some random show, he then decided to jokingly grab my ass while everyone was looking.

"Adam!" I slapped his hand playfully

"What? They've heard us before." He smirked

"Why!" I blushed heavily "How could you?"

"What. Sometimes my match doesn't drain my adrenaline. You help." He chuckled

"They probably wish they could have you like me Dove~" Adam Whispered against my neck

I shivered in instinct.

"You two should kiss!" Mike joked

Adam Captured my lips and trapped me in a heated kiss

"Got anything to say boys?" Adam Joked

"Can We never leave again?" Roddy Joked

"I mean if it's Ok with my Rae-Rae." Adam Said

I nodded yes as I was still blushing from the kiss mere seconds ago

"Well, I guess welcome home guys" Adam joked again

They've been with us for awhile and are fine with the occasional no night of sleep or locker room being locked after a match. Heh.

Guess they are best friends after all..

「The End」

MJF x Adam Cole

summary-

Soulmates were a weird thing, Max didn't even think they existed

For the longest time Max was convinced he'd never meet his. Nobody liked him, Nobody trusted him and he just felt like nobody liked or understood him. That was until he was partnered with the person who changed his life forever.

Adam Cole.

Soulmates

Soulmates were a weird thing. Max didn't think they even existed- i mean it was a stupid term with a stupid meaning.

For the longest time Max was convinced he'd never meet his soulmate. Nobody liked him, Nobody trusted him and he just felt like nobody understood him. That was until he was partnered with the person who changed his life forever.

Adam Cole.

When Cole and Friedman became the tag team 'Better than you Bay Bay' Max became the happiest he has been in a long time. He knew Adam wasn't very fond of him obviously in the beginning. But now things feel different its been awhile and they've been working together quite a bit. Max thinks Adam actually likes him now and that thought warms his heart in a weird way.

Max was sitting in his locker room sitting on the bench scrolling through his phone until the door infront of burts open with a disheveled and heart-broken Adam walking in.

"Max what did i do wrong?, why do i keep screwing things up!" Adam asks teary eyed

"Buddy whats wrong what happened?"  Max questioned going into protective mode

"Britt fucking left me Max" He explains frusterated

MJF watches Adam slide down the wall by the door until he was sitting on the floor staring at Max desperately.

"W-what?" Says in a state shock

"I know, i dont know what the hell i did wrong! She never seemed upset with me i don't what happened.. Max im a good person aren't i? Why are Britt and Roddy mad at me?" He whines shoving his face into the palm of his hands.

"Im so sorry, You are a fucking amazing person, you've helped me so much man and honestly i think that might be the problem.. Im sorry, you know they don't like me. i never mean't to cause all of this"

Adam's head snaps up at this

"Max if you 're implying that i stop hanging out with you, that aint gonna happen no matter how hard you try" He states

"Why not you never liked me before why can't it go back to that?"

Adam stands up and walks over to Max until he is stood infront of him

"You know i never believed all the things people said about you. I always knew deep down you were actually a good person."

Max just stares at him a little confused

"I was just mad because i wanted your damn title. I wanted to prove to people that i was still something." He continues while staring Max in the eyes with a serious look on his face

"I know we lost the championship match and i know we're going to fight at All In but i dont care. We are going to continue being friends no matter what you or anybody else says. You snuck into my heart max i cant just let you go" He finishes

Adam looks away and sighs while Max blushes trying to hide a smile. Nobody has ever cared this much for him before so its weird, hes not used to it but it makes him feel warm inside.

"Adam you know you're my bestfriend right. But you can't sacrifice your friends and girlfriend who you knew longer than you knew me just so we can still be friends, i wont let you" He says sadly standing up about to leave the room

All of this was very out of character for MJF.

"Max please, I dont need them alright. I need you, I need you so bad" He pleads following Maxwell

This was also pretty out of character for Adam Cole Bay Bay.

Max freezes and turns around slowly. Theres no way?!..

"You need what?.." He asks unsure

"You." he states teary eyed

"Its always been you. i tried to stop it but i couldn't , i tried so hard Ma-" He gets cut off by Max's lips on his.

Adam's arms immediately go to Max's neck while Max deepens the kiss, wrapping his arms around Adam's back.

Max taps adam waists twice to tell him to jump.

So he does and wraps his legs around Max's waist while smiling into the kiss.

Max lightly breaks apart the kiss. "You dont know how long i've wanted his" He pants catching his breath

Adam reconnects their lips grabbing on to Max's short curly hair while Max runs his hands in Adams hair.

"you're coming back to the hotel with me and we're going to take a nice shower talk this out alright, i dont want to rush anything. Im not messing anything up" He informs the man in his arms.

Adam nods putting his head onto max's shoulder and gives him little kisses.

"Okay" he whispers

You know what.

Maybe soulmates do exist.

masterlist

all elite wrestling’s all out pay-per-view was popping. the crowd was loud and it was busy backstage. all of the staff backstage kept whispering about three new signees but you didn’t care enough to stick around to find out who the other two signees were—you knew one was ruby soho, your best friend and the woman who would ultimately end up winning the battle royale that you were participating in tonight.

“hey (y/n), you ready for tonight?” ruby asked, sneaking up on you as she clasped a hand on your shoulder. you jumped and she laughed. “sorry.”

“hey,” you replied. “yeah, i’m ready. how about you? crowd’s gonna go fucking insane for you.”

“i know,” ruby breathed out, shooting you an excited smile. “we’re on next. we better get ready.”

you nodded your head and the two of you headed to the front to wait for your match. when it was finally time for your entrance, you pushed past the curtains, the sound of the crowd cheering for you deafening you. you smiled, adrenaline filling your body.

you loved wrestling—and the loud roar of the crowd only made you that more passionate about it.

you and the other women put on a great show. just as you expected, the crowd went crazy for ruby’s debut and even crazier for ruby’s win of the royale. you couldn’t wipe the smile off your face when the match was finally over and you and all the other women were in the back.

ruby threw herself onto you, her sweaty body sticking to yours. “that...was insane.”

you giggled, wrapping your arms around your best friend and nodded. “it really was. i’m so happy you’re here.”

“i’m so happy to be here. i’m excited to see what aew has in store for me,” ruby said, pulling away from you. you smiled at her and the two of you headed further into the back to watch the rest of the pay-per-view on the televisions. 

the rest of the pay-per-view went incredibly smooth. it was a great pay-per-view, one of the best ones aew had ever put on in your opinion (and no, it wasn’t just because you were on the show). the pay-per-view was coming to an end—kenny omega was closing the show. you zoned out and began to mindlessly scroll through twitter, liking tweets about how great you performed earlier that night or pictures that fans had taken of you from their seats at the arena. 

suddenly, the crowd began to go wild. with furrowed brows, you glanced up and suddenly your whole world came crashing down. there, on the screen, wearing his signature smirk was the last person you ever wanted to see.

adam cole was all elite.

you were frozen in your spot. the segment was over, bryan danielson also made his debut and the pay-per-view was coming to an end. but you couldn’t move. 

a hand on your shoulder eventually shook you out of your trance. “you good?” it was ruby. she was looking at you, concerned. you nodded. “let’s get out of here before...”

she didn’t even have to finish—you knew exactly what she was going to say. you nodded again and stood up, allowing her to guide you towards the locker room so the two of you could grab your belongings. 

the locker room was empty when you and ruby walked in. ruby grabbed her already packed duffel bag, throwing it over her shoulder. “i’ll go grab the car, okay?” 

“yeah, sounds good,” you replied as you began to pack up your duffel bag. once everything you brought was packed away safely in your bag, you threw it over your shoulder and headed out of the locker room.

“great to be here! thanks man!” a familiar voice echoed down the hallway. you groaned as you watched adam cole turn the corner. his grin only widened when the two of you made eye contact.

you really should learn how to pack your duffel bag before the show ends like ruby.

“what are you doing here?” you asked as adam approached you backstage. the grin that was on his face quickly flipped into a frown. you crossed your arms over your chest and raised your brows at him.

“nice to see you too, (y/n),” adam said sarcastically. “i’m here to wrestle, obviously.”

you rolled your eyes. “no shit. why are you talking to me?”

“because i’m polite? geez, didn’t realize you still hated me,” adam said, holding his hands up in defense. 

“you didn’t realize i still hated you?” you repeated, scoffing in disbelief. “why would i be happy to see my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me and ruined my life? oh, adam! i’m so glad you’re here! what are your plans? ruin my life some more?”

adam rolled his eyes at your sarcasm. “we haven’t seen each other in two years. you’re not even the slightest bit happy to see me?”

“absolutely not,” you replied immediately. adam frowned. “those were the best two years of my life. please enlighten me: why the fuck would i be happy to see my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me?”

“i didn’t cheat on you. do you really still think that?” adam said, his voice lowering and his eyes softening. you almost felt bad. almost.

“think that? no, i know you did,” you said. “please, just leave me alone. i don’t want to talk to you. ever.”

adam opened his mouth to say something but you turned around, stalking off to find ruby. you didn’t have the time or energy to deal with him.

you found ruby outside of the building, scrolling through something on her phone. you opened the car door, throwing your duffel bag at your feet. “you good?” she asked.

“no,” you replied. “i saw adam. he’s still denying the fact he cheated on me.”

“why do you think he cheated on you again?” ruby asked. you glared at her and she held her hands up in defense. “listen, i’m just asking. because after two years, you think he wouldn’t still lie to you. i don’t know, maybe just hear him out.”

“i don’t wanna hear him out,” you said. you put your seatbelt on and slumped in your seat. “i literally saw him and britt kissing and britt told me they had been going out for months.”

“oh yeah,” ruby said as she pulled out of her parking spot and began driving to the hotel. “don’t let him ruin anything else for you, okay? just avoid him. i know it’s hard because you guys work together but still.”

“i know. i’m gonna try,” you replied.

you sighed. guess you were going to have to face your past—you couldn’t run from it anymore.

Being a young female wrestler, you’ve been working your ass off to be valued and recognized as one of the best. It’s a tough path for sure, but you’re not backing down. 

And now, getting the phone call you so anxiously waited for, you feel so overwhelmed with emotions. You can’t believe you’re probably about to get the push you’ve been working so hard for. 

It’s only when you get to Carrano’s office that you truly understand what’s going on. Adam Cole and the other members of the Undisputed Era were all there. 

Sure, it was a step up on your career. But you weren’t a hypocrite… you were waiting for a different outcome. And being in the same team, working directly with Adam Cole, wasn’t exactly your biggest dream. 

He’s just so… irritating. So full of himself. Honestly, you just wanted distance from him. The less you have business with him, the better. But clearly that wasn’t an option right now. 

Judging by the look on his face once you stepped inside the room, he wasn’t very happy either. The others looked excited, and even greeted you joyfully. 

Two months in, the animosity between you and Adam is still the same. You talked the bare minimum and kept it professional, but the others took notice of the tense atmosphere surrounding the both of you. 

You’ve grown close to the other three though. Especially with Roderick. 

You love Kyle and Bobby, they are amazing friends. But you had a deeper connection with Roderick, you’d vent to him, he’d give you advice. He just makes it easy to talk to him. He’s like an older brother to you, and you absolutely love his family. His wife is super sweet, and you won’t even get started on the baby! He is so cute and adorable! You loved playing with him, and Marina would always say what a great mother you’d be someday. 

You’d love to believe her, but you couldn’t see yourself actually creating a family with someone, being a wife, a mother… It just seems so unrealistic. In theory, it sounds amazing, especially to a romantic soul like you. But... you just can’t imagine someone loving you, no matter what… wanting to marry you… wanting to create a family with you. It’s just a fantasy. 

Anyway, those five are the closest you have to a family outside of your blood-family.

Adam… well, he just keeps to himself. Just like you, he doesn’t really like to let his guard down. So the both of you just pretty much avoid every possible opportunity to actually talk and address the elephant in the room. 

Roderick once told you that you should just talk to him about it, just to clear things up, or as he had said “to solve whatever’s messed up between you two”. 

Thinking about it, you don’t really know what was messed up… He annoyed you, and you weren’t really fond of his cocky attitude. But that was it. 

You have no clue why he acts the same way towards you. Maybe you annoy him too. Who knows. You have to admit that it bugs you though. And you could tell the others are a little unsettled by the situation, but you didn’t know where Adam stood, so you just let it go.

Today, the group decided to make a barbecue at Roderick’s place. Marina created a to-do list with all the chores split by every one. You ended up having to go to the grocery store with Adam. 

You knew it had Roderick’s finger on it, but you decided to pay no attention to it. 

The sun is setting already when you and Adam are walking to the store. No words have been exchanged so far, there’s just an awful, awkward silence filling up the hair. 

You’re walking, looking down at the ground, hands in your coat’s pockets, completely lost in thought. Adam is walking right by your side, himself focused on his own thoughts, while looking down the street. 

Suddenly, coming out of nowhere, three men surround you. Giving him no time to react, two of them grab Adam, preventing him from escaping or retaliating, while the other grabs you hard by your arm.

“Give me your phones and money now!” The asshole screams at you. 

You nervously nod your head no. Adam is viciously trying to set himself loose, and you’re sure that if he can, he’ll kill them. 

“What do you mean no, bitch?” He snarls, slapping you face, hard. You could feel your cheek sting. So hot and numb. 

“Don’t you fucking touch her! I’m gonna kill you!” Adam spits with so much anger, you’ve never seen him like this. It’s getting harder and harder for the other guys to keep Adam in his place. The asshole just laughs in his face, making him even angrier.

“You can’t say no to me, you fucking bitch. Or you want your lover boy over here to get hurt?” He starts grinning, that maniac, as he pulls his gun from his waist, pointing it at Adam. 

“No, no, no… Pl-please, put it down. I’ll give you all what you want.” You choke out, tears building up.

“Oh, you’ll give me all I want? I like the way that sounds.” He says seductively, running his calloused finger down your red cheek. You’re crying now, the nerves consuming you. You can’t even think straight. 

“Don’t you fucking touch her, I swear to God!” Adam is getting out of his mind. 

“Y-you wanted the phones, right? Here, take it.” You sob, pulling your phone out of your pocket with your trembling free hand. “Money too, right?” You reach your other pocket and pull out the twenty dollars you had in your pocket. “T-take it. It’s all yours.”

“Nah. I changed my mind.” He grins widely, while twirling a strand of your hand. “I don’t want that. I want you.”

Adam barely let him finish. He freed himself from the two douchebags, and within a minute, the three of them were beaten black and blue, groaning on the ground. You tried to stop him, so you could run out of there, but it was all to no avail. Adam was blind by rage. 

He stands tall over them, his fists balled up tight, his breathing hard and uneven. 

“I told you not to touch her.” He says, kicking the guy once more. 

When he turns to face you, his anger quickly turns to shock.

“(Y/N)? Y-you’re bleeding… Your nose… How-” He chokes out, trying to make sense of what he’s seeing. 

You can’t bring yourself to look at him, much less answer him. You can’t even move, it’s like you’re stuck. He takes one step at a time towards you, carefully, until he finally reaches you. 

Adam takes your hand in his, very gently. You can’t help but flinch away from him. 

He let go of your hand and took a step back. You finally face him, and the hurt sprawled on his face tore your insides apart. You know he didn’t mean it. Hell, he didn’t even noticed you were there. He was protecting you. But it was too much for your brain to process so quickly. 

Truth is you just wanted to get out of there. With him by your side. You don’t know why, and your brain is in no condition to try and make sense of it right now. But you wanted him next to you. 

Adam quickly realised that he wouldn’t be able to speak to you now, no matter how much he wanted to. He decided that it’d be best if you’d just went back home so you both could calm down and get cleaned up.

You locked your eyes with Adam, and saw nothing but understandment there. He extended his hand out to you, leaving it to you to make the decision to take it or not. You sigh heavily, a small sob coming across at the same time, as you gently connect your hand with his. 

Taking a final glance at the three douchebags lying on the ground, you finally head back home with Adam.

The way back is filled with silence once again, but this time your hands are linked together. Halfway back, you bring your remaining hand around them, feeling safer at the warmth of his skin.

Once you get to Roderick’s house, you make it through the front door, when Adam stops in his tracks, disconnecting your hands, and clears his throat, attempting to talk to you again.

“(Y/N), I- I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to-”

“Hey guys, you’re finally back!” Kyle happily greets, until he looks at your face. “What the fuck did you do to her, man???” He yells, angrily.

The others heard all the noise and quickly appeared in the hall, confused and shocked looks crossing their faces. 

“What happened?” Roderick asks worriedly.

“Did you hit her???” Bobby asks, shocked. “I can’t believe you hit her!”

“Stop!” You shout, feeling tears threatening to spill again. “Stop, guys. Please. It was an accident. We were being robbed and he was beating up the guys, I was trying to stop him, and you know the rest.”

 A tense silence filled up the air. No one really knew what to say. Marina, being the sweet soul she is, worked things out. 

“Girl, come with me. Let’s clean you up, and calm you down a bit.” She says, a soft smile playing on her lips, as she steps forward and takes you by the hand.

Once you reach the bathroom, she puts the toilet seat down and motions you to seat down. Then, she begins cleaning your face. There’s barely a minute of silence, and she doesn’t even need to ask you anything. You start venting right away. 

“I don’t know why he did it.” You say blankly. She shoots you a confused look. “You should see him. He looked crazed up. The guy hit me, and was touching my hair and my face with his disgusting hands, and Adam… Adam told him that he’d kill him if he touched me. And he nearly did.”

Marina stands there, smiling down at you. Now you’re the one confused. Why the hell was she smiling? 

It’s like she can read your mind, because she answer your question right away. 

“Why are you so shocked about him beating up the guy? You said it yourself, he beat you, he was disgusting, and he was a robber.”

“I just… I never thought he’d do something like that for me.” 

“Why is that?” She asks, stopping what she’s doing to fully face you.

“I just assumed he hated me. Hell, he never showed me anything else until today. Truth is I never thought he gave a damn about me.” You finally confess. “And I know that’s partially my fault, because I wasn’t any better at it.”

And there she is, smiling again. What is wrong with her? 

“Do you really think he hates you?” She asks you, smiling gently. 

You avoid your gaze to your hands. “I think so… I don’t know. I’m confused.” 

An hour or so later, you’re resting on the couch, a blanket covering your body, when Adam sits down next to you. 

“Can we talk?” He asks, fidgeting a bit in his seat.

You nod him yes. He sits there for awhile, trying to figure out where to start.

“I went to… apologize to you, you know, when you were with Marina in the bathroom. And I… I heard what you said to her.” He explains, carefully, trying to read your reaction. 

You’re panicking on the inside, but trying to maintain your cool on the outside. 

“I want you to know that I never, never hated you. Ever.” He sighs, waiting for you to reply. When you don’t say anything, he lets out a sad chuckle. “You know… it kills me inside that you’ve even thought that. But… who am I fooling? I knew I’d never be good enough for you. And now, you know it too.” He finishes, running his hands on his thighs, getting up and turning on his back.

“Why do you think you’re not good enough?” You finally find your voice, taking him by surprise. He stops in his tracks and faces you again. 

“Because I have a bad reputation. I don’t want to be a bad influence to you. I don’t want to affect you or your work.” He confesses, feeling a weight leaving his chest. “See today. Our first time going out alone. See what happened.”

“This wasn’t your fault.” You say, motioning to your face. “You didn’t mean it. You didn’t even see me. You were protecting me, and I’m thankful for it.”

“I still hurt you… He still slapped you, and touched you. So I’d say I did a pretty lousy job at protecting you.”

“I’m here, and I’m fine, so I’d say you did a pretty good job.” You reassure him. “And also, I don’t give a shit about your reputation. Did I find you annoying? Yes. Did I find you cocky? Also yes.”

“Wow, thank you for the honesty.” He lets out a small laugh, amazed by your sincerity. 

“I wanted to know you for myself, but you never let me. And I know that’s my fault too, because I never let you in either.” You sigh, fully knowing you’re both at fault in this. “And also, I think I’m the one who decides who is good enough for me and who isn’t.” 

“Can we start over?” You furrow your brows in confusion, and he smiles. “Hi, I’m Adam Cole, it’s very nice to meet you.” 

You finally understand what he’s doing, so you smile back at him. 

“Hi Adam, I’m (Y/N). It’s very nice to meet you too.”

Give me some feedback please?

Adam Cole Imagine

My match with Candice was up next. whoever won was going to be challenging  for the NXT women’s championship at Takeover Brooklyn. I stood behind the curtain and watched as the members of Undisputed Era walked through, all having the cockiest look on their face. I hated all of them. every time I saw them or walked by they had some kind of smirk on their face. 

“good luck tonight baybay, I know you’ll do great” Adam says winking at me. I roll my eyes. I pushed past them as I heard my music play, making my entrance into the arena. 

The match was going well until I went for a suicide dive, and landed really hard on my shoulder. I finished the match, but I lost. Candice walked with me to the back. Of course the first person I saw when I walked through the curtain had to be Adam. 

“you okay?” he asks sounding concerned. I shook my head as Candice walked with me to the trainers room. I knew as soon as they mentioned going to the hospital to have tests done, that it wasn’t good. I knew i’d probably have to miss months of in ring action.

“i’m so sorry” Candice says giving me a gentle hug

“it’s okay, it’s my fault.”

“I still feel really bad you got hurt, hopefully its nothing serious” she says as we walk toward the women’s locker room. I wanted to change, and just get to the hospital. I needed to know what was wrong with me.

of course we had to walk right past where the undisputed era were standing in the hallway talking. I rolled my eyes and tried to walk past them “hey y/n, any news on your shoulder?” Adam asks. I could see worry on his face, same with the others

I shook my head. “i’m about to head to the hospital, they want to run some tests. i’m just hoping it isn’t anything serious”

“everything will be okay, I promise”  he says giving me a small smile

“I really hope you’re right” I say. I had little hope in his words as I walked away. when I finally reached the women’s locker room and went in to change, I realized just how badly I was hurt. the simple task of putting my shirt on was excruciating. I had no idea how I was going to load my bag into the car or drive. 

I hugged the girls goodbye, and walked to my rental car, I struggled to lift my bags with my good arm. 

“here let me help” I heard a familiar voice say Adam lifted my bag with ease, and placed it in the back of the car.

“thanks”

“you’re welcome” he says smiling

I closed the trunk and walked to the drivers side. 

“are you travelling alone?” he asks shocked

“yeah, I usually do.”

“let me come with you so you aren’t driving yourself” he says

“you don’t have to i’ll be fine”

“I know I don’t have to but I want to, you’re hurt and shouldn’t be driving” he says

“fine” I say handing over the keys. I knew he wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

I was surprised when he opened up my door for me. he was actually being nice? I was kinda confused. 

“why are you being so nice to me?” I ask

“what do you mean?” he asks

“every time I’ve seen you before I got hurt you’ve always been this cocky arrogant, douche. but now you’re being nice”

“i’m sorry I give off that vibe, sometimes when I just come back through the curtain, I still have a lot of adrenaline, and i’m still in Character, I promise i’m nothing like that”

I looked at him kinda skeptically. “I promise, Kyle, Bobby, and Roddy are the same way” he says. 

I gave a small smile, really wanting to believe him. “just give us a chance?” he asks

“alright, i’ll give you guys a chance.” the moment those words left my mouth he smiled. 

“the moment we saw that you landed wrong, we all became worried. we hate seeing anyone get hurt. especially with you being as talented as you are.” he says. I could hear the sincerity in his voice. 

“i’m no where near as talented as you guys think. perfect example. I screwed up a suicide dive and now i’m going to be out for God knows how long” I say sadly

“accidents happen. that match was amazing. even though you got hurt you still finished the match, and didn’t lead on that you were in much pain” he says. placing his hand on my knee. trying to comfort me

“oh i’m in pain. I could hardly put my shirt on. I don’t know how I finished the match”

“adrenaline, it helps you block out the pain in the moment, but once it wears off you start to feel it” 

“I just hope its nothing serious”

“no matter how serious it is, we’re gonna be supporting you.” he says as he pulls me into a hug.

“thank you, i’m honestly scared to death. I've never had surgery before. so i’m hoping its nothing major. i’m hoping that i’ll just have to take a few weeks off and i’ll be fine. but something tells me its more serious”

“just try and stay positive. as bad of advice as that is” he says making me laugh

it felt like hours. test after test being done on my shoulder, multiple x-rays, CT scans. Adam was there supporting me the whole time. I sat in the hospital bed, waiting on the results. hoping It wouldn’t be serious. but once the doctor came in the room. I felt the news wouldn’t be good. 

Adam took my hand into his as the doctor began speaking.

The doctor starts showing me the X-Rays and scans that they took, and explaining that I hadn't tore anything, or broken anything.

When he said I'd just need a few weeks off to rest. I smiled. Adam squeezed my hand.

"I told you everything was gonna be fine" he says as the doctor exists the room

"Thank you, for coming with me. I don't know what I'd do if I were alone"

"I'm glad I could come with you." He says giving me a gentle hug "let's go to the hotel so you can relax and ice your shoulder"

Just as i started getting up out of bed, several familiar faces walked into the room.

"Did you find anything out?" Candice asks nervously

"Yeah, its nothing serious. I'll have to be off for a few weeks, and I have to ice it for a few days. Other than that I'm okay

"I'm glad, you had us all worried when you landed wrong" Kyle says

"I'm just glad you're okay" Candice says before giving me a gentle hug

"Me too. I don't know what I would have done if it were more serious" I say

"Either way we'd be supporting you" Adam says

"I know. You've shown me that tonight" i say

"We're gonna leave and go have dinner. You coming Adam?" Kyle asks

"Im staying with her. She still shouldn't be driving herself"

We'll see you guys back at the hotel." Bobby says

Each of them gently hug me as they leave.

"What do you think about getting dinner on the way to the hotel?" He asks

"You had me at food" i say making him laugh

"you know that you can let go of my hand now right?" I ask making him blush

"I...im sorry... I was just trying to comfort you and didn't realize i was still holding it" he says

"You can if you want to. I don't mind" i say

"Its not every day I'm spending tome with a gorgeous girl like you" he says

"I'm nothing special Adam."

"To me you are." He says

"So dinner.. Is this a date?" I ask

"Only if you want it to be" he says

I smile and nod "I'd love that"

#23 for Adam Cole from the yandere prompts list please?

Prompt: “I’ve always wanted to taste you,” 

Taglist: @fiskers7136 @peachmango-kombucha @kcloveswrestling @bellalutionn @xkennyxomegax @tummyyellin @legit9thlunaticwarrior @auburnwrites @damnnhausen @thesusbunny @blaquekittycat @writtingrose

Adam had always had a thing for romance. He went over many ways on how to win you over. Flowers, a heartfelt note, but he settled on a small box of candy. With a bit of sedatives added to them. They were simply labeled with a heart, and you assumed your boyfriend had left them so you didn’t think twice about slipping one into your mouth. It was just enough to have you passed out on your couch, ready for Adam.

When you woke up you could feel a body pressed up against you. The bedsheets were soft against your naked body and a small smile came over your face. You didn’t remember going to your boyfriends house the night before, but you were glad to be here. You rolled over, just starting to open your eyes. “Good morning-“ you cut yourself off when you made eye contact with someone who is definitely not your boyfriend.

“Good morning beautiful,” He smiled at you. Your eyes widened as you sat up quickly, pulling the blanket up to cover yourself.

“Where am I?” You looked around, realizing you weren’t at your home or your boyfriends. “Who the hell are you?!” You were panicking, and it only got worse when he reached out to you.

“Hey, your ok-“ he stoped when you slapped his hand away.

“Don’t touch me!” You yelled at the man. His smile fell, but not in anger. It was more concern. Without saying anything he sat up and pinned you to the bed. You tried to fight him off, but it didn’t seem to phase him at all.

“Calm down. You’re ok, you’re safe.” He whispered, clearly trying to calm you down. He kept you there, allowing you to try and fight him so that you would tire yourself out .

Eventually you stoped trying to shove him off of you, letting him leave little kisses on your face. “See? Doing better already.” He whispered.

“Please… I don’t know who you are.” You mumbled, small tears in the corner of your eyes.

“Yes you do sweetheart. Remember, we met in New York.” You raked your brain, trying to figure out where this man could have met you. For all you knew, he simply saw you on the sidewalk. “You were at the dinner. You remember.”

“Fuck…” you mumbled. You volunteered at a catering company for a few weeks once, and you had only done one real event.

“You remember me now?” You nodded, finally placing him. He had continuously been needing things that night, and had even tried to ask you to get drinks with him after the event. Adam Cole you thought his name was.

“Yes.”

He leaned down, leaving a kiss on your forehead. “God, that night I knew you were the most beautiful women I would ever see. I had to have you.” You felt gross at his words. You could feel his own naked body against yours, and you just wanted to be as far from his as possible.

“Waited so long for this.” He moved down to kiss your neck, letting his tongue run along your pulse point. “You know, I’ve always wanted to taste you.” At first you didn’t understand what he meant, but as his hand slid down your body you figured it out quickly. “Don’t worry, you’ll never forget our first time.”

BETTER THAN YOU BAY BAY

MJF x Adam Cole

(when they break up imma literally be crying for days. They are my only source of happiness)

Summary-

Max couldn't explain to you, why he felt the urge to protect Adam after his match against Samoa Joe, he can never stand to see the ones he cares for hurt.

But the number one questions on his mind are, Where was Adam? Why was he so late to Max's match? But when he tries to ask Adam about his things go a little bit south until Adam returns beat up, and Max doesn't take any bullshit answers

~

Who did this to you ?!

He couldn't explain to you, why he had such a strong urge to protect Adam tonight, especially after getting his ass handed to him. But he does give himself props. He beat Joe. You told you he would, he never doubted himself. But even after he felt like practically dying, He saw Joe try to lunge at Adam and risked everything just to protect his brochacho.

Max's number one question is, Where was Adam? Why did he take so long to show up? He was supposed to come down to the ring and support his best friend throughout one of his most important matches in his career against Samoa Joe, it's long time story telling yall. This match meant so much the kid inside him. They did it. They proved it to everyone, infront of his New York peers. Why the fuck was Adam so late?

Okay he's not really mad. Adam still came and supported him, he was an amazing friend, and even injured himself for Max.

Walking back stage was tough, he felt so much pride, but at the same time all he felt was agony. Everything hurt. In all honesty both men were in pain, Cole was still suffering from his ankle injury he endured moments earlier.

Adam was helping him walk, While trying to hide his own limp. He had Max's arm around his neck with his arm wrapped around Max's back. They made their way into doc sampsons and sat there in silence with occasional small talk until both men were cleared to leave.

"Max how are you feeling?" Adam asked gently once they were in the car headed to the hotel that the roster was staying at.

"Everything fucking hurts" He replied while favoring his neck, turning his head slightly to look at Adam

Cole grimaces slightly in sympathy

They soon arrive at the hotel and walk in silence until they reach their shared room.

Adam hasn't shared a room with Britt in so long, he feels guilty, but it's not really his fault. All tag partners room together everywhere right?

They take turns showering and unpacking and packing up certain things until both are done and drained.

Adam walks out of the bathroom and he finished brushing his teeth and took a seat by MJF who was sitting on the bed, leaning against the bedframe, scrolling through his phone while holding an ice pack to his neck.

Max looks over at Cole and sighs.

"How's your leg doing? Dude what the fuck even happened?" He asks laughing slightly

Adam shows a small smile

"Max I don't even know, I jumped the ramp to get around to you guys faster and I guess I screwed up my leg or something" He says rushed, he didn't want Max to worry about him, he knows he would so he tries not to make it a big deal.

Max throws him a concerned look

"Dude are you gonna be-" He tries to ask before getting cut off

"Max im gonna be fine alright, everything's good, let's not focus on that let's focus on you. You're in more pain than I am, tonight was your night. You won Max, and I couldn't be more proud of you" He says reassuringly and scoots closer slightly

Max smiles back gratefully but still not fully convinced. He doesn't want to push it so he asks the question that's been on his mind since he saw Cole rush out to cheer him on.

"Adam. Where were you? Why'd it take you so long to show up?" He states seriously

The older man shifts uncomfortably and avoids eye contact

Max notices

"Cole."

"Look. I- uh. I needed to visit Roddy alright. But then he tried to guilt me into staying longer. I didn't. I came back to watch you of course. I'm sorry I never told you, didn't mean to alarm to and i stayed backstage because i thought you wanted to do this on your own." he says quietly still avoiding eye contact

"Bay Bay, how many times do I have to tell this to you. The man is clearly faking it. He's just acting like a jealous ex fucking boyfriend so you'll pay attention to him"  He states trying to get the information through Adam's head, after readjusting his grip on his icepack

But apparently this angers him

"Max what do you know? All everyone has told me is that I'm stupid for being your friend. They all tell me how your gonna turn on me once the time is right. Roddys just acting like a dick right now, but he's still my friend. I need to support him like im supporting you. If they have to get used to the fact that your my bestfriend than you can get used to the fact that Roddys mine" Adam rushes out quite angry

Max feels his eyes widen, and backs off not wanting to cause chaos

"Fine. Goodnight" He says quietly, dropping the subject.

Max turns lays down on one side of the bed and gets under the covers before turning around, facing away from Adam, he lets his icepack rest behind his neck.

"Turn off the lights" He orders before going to sleep.

Cole suddenly feels guilty eat away at him.

This was Max's night. Why did he freak out on him? Everything the man said was true.

"I'm sorry Max" he whispers before getting out of bed to turn off the lights

He doesn't crawl back into bed though. No, he puts on a hoodie and leaves the hotel to go on a walk to get refreshed.

He still has a slight limp but he's had worse. He can deal with it.

He's quite chilly out so he tucks his hands into his hoodie pockets in an attempt to stay warm.

He doesn't get very far until he hears hushed whispers.

Cole tries not to look back and keeps walking. That is until he feels himself get grabbed and thrown onto the ground.

He groans in pain.

The group of people keep kicking and clawing at him. Adam let's them, he doesn't attempt to shove then away, he just curls up into a ball and waits for it to be over.

The attack goes on for another 5 minutes until he hears them talk to one another before leaving.

"Fucking asshole" He hears one of them say, the voice sounds familiar

He tries to look up and catches a glimpse of who they are. All he sees is blurs for about 5 seconds until his sight clears.

Of. Fucking. Course.

Its Roddy & The kingdom.

He should have known. Honestly he should've. He shouldn't have went to that damn hospital. He should've stayed with Max the whole time.

He's slowly drags himself off of the ground and rubs away the blood flowing from his nose from when he face planted onto the ground.

He groans in agony limps back to the hotel slow as ever.

He attempts to open the door quietly so he can sneak back into bed without worrying his tag partner.

But obviously that doesn't end up happening. The universe never seems to be on his side.

He opens the door to Max worryingly pacing around the room.

Once his eyes catch Adam's he rushes over and starts talking a mile a minute.

"What the fuck?! What happened?! Are you okay? Who did this to you. I swear to God Ada-"

"MAX im fine okay don't worry about me" he cuts Max's rambling off in an attempt to shrug of his concern.

Max grabs Adam's chin and stares him in the eyes.

"Don't worry about you?! Adam I swear to God. Don't you lie to me. Who. Did. This. To. You." He says dead serious

Adam shivers

"Max. I-"

"Adam. I'll fucking bend you over my knee" He says a threat.

Coles eyes widen as he feels his face get hot at that.

He knows he's serious to. Max will. It's almost happened before.

"It was Roddy and his gang" the flustered man whispers

Max is furious. He'll fucking kick their asses.

But he calms down enough so he doesn't flip out anymore infront of Adam.

"Come here" He guides Adam gently into the bathroom and sits him down on the counter.

Max goes between Coles legs and grabs a were wash cloth, he gently rubs the blood of his face and body.

Adam catches himself staring at Max, the way he's being so careful not to hurt him more. He likes the way Max looks whens he's focused. It's hot.

"Max.." Cole whispers to get his attention

MJF looks up from where he was almost finished patching up Adam's cuts on his arm.

"What is it?" He says concerned

Max examines Adam's face and gently puts his hand on his cheek and rubs

"Kiss me or leave me" he says quietly but bodly

This catches Max of guard and he flinched a bit, looking wide eye and flustered

"What?" He says confused

"Please, kiss me or just get it over with and leave me" The long haired man whimpers

The curly haired man smiles

He grabs Adam's face lightly and presses his lips onto his

Adam grabs the back of his neck and carefully as he can without causing the other man any pain.

"I'm not going to leave you Adam, I love you to much to do that" He whispers once they break the kiss

Adam smiles

"I'm sorry for getting upset at you earlier. I knew you were right. I just wanted to give him a chance" he apolagizes

"Its alright man don't apolagize, but don't think they're getting off the hook for this. Im gonna fucking kill them." Max states, he's eyes full of fury.

"Thanks" He starts before hopping of the counter so he can properly hug the man

"And by the way I love you too Max" he finishes and grabs Max so he can reconnect their lips.

“I think we did pretty great out there.” Adam smiled, when we got backstage after our debut. “I mean, we definitely looked great.” He flirted.

I blushed.

“Yeah, I guess we did.” I replied, before biting my lip.

He put his arm around me, and chuckled.

“You know, I think we should celebrate.” He suggested. “Can I maybe..take you out?” He smirked.

Before I could answer, I heard a familiar voice call my name, and I turned to see my brother Seth, I pulled away from Adam, so I could give him a hug.

“What are you doing here?” I smiled.

Adam clenched his jaw, as began to pout, annoyed that Seth had interrupted our conversation.

Seth smiled, not even saying hello to Adam.

“Like, I was gonna miss your debut.” He scoffed. “You did amazing by the way.” He smiled, patting me on the shoulder.

Adam cleared his throat, to get my attention back on him.

“Oh! Right! Seth, you know Adam.” I smiled.

Seth nodded, and went to shake Adam’s hand, with a smile. Adam rolled his eyes, before shaking his hand, and then putting his arm back around me.

“Well, it was good to see you, but I was just about to ask Y/N, if she wanted to go out for drinks so..” He hissed.

“Well, Seth can come with us!” I smiled, causing Adam to roll his eyes again, and cross his arms. “Do you wanna come?�� I asked, turning my attention back to my brother.

Seth chuckled slightly, and shook his head.

“No thanks Y/N.” He started. “I’m pretty sure, Adam’s asking you out on a date. You know, like just the two of you.” He whispered to me, before walking off.

I turned my attention back to Adam, who was still sulking.

“You okay?” I asked trying not to laugh.

“Oh, are you talking to me now?” He said sarcastically. “Because I thought you were busy talking to Seth. If you’re with him, just tell me, okay? I don’t wanna keep embarrassing myself.” He continued.

My face scrunched up, as I let out a disgusted groan. “Um..ew.” I chuckled, he cocked his brow, as he started to look puzzled. I let out a sigh, before smiling.

“You do know Seth is my brother..right?” I chuckled.

His eyes widened, and he began to blush, before he smacked his forehead.

“Oh..I-um..I’m sorry.” He choked out.

I smirked. “Oh my gosh..you were jealous!” I said, trying to hold back laughter.

He shook his head. “Pfft..I was not!” He argued, his voice hitching, as his face got more, and more red.

I bit my lip, and crossed my arms.

“Oh would you look at that? I’ve made you, of all people, embarrassed. How  fun!” I teased.

He rolled his eyes, before smirking, and cocking his head.

“How about you tease me about it over drinks?” He asked.

I bit my lip, and breathed a laugh, before nodding.

“I’d like that.” I smiled.

Memories

Pairing: Adam Cole/Reader

Words: 846 words

Summary: Adam is home for a few days but he’s leaving again for tour so you find a way to remember him.

Masterlist

Light struck your face, as you wake up seeing that the sun is already shining. Memories from last night flashing through your mind, bringing a smile to your face. You stretched a little bit and turned around to see your boyfriend sleeping. Clothes discarded from last night. His chest bare, probably even his bottoms. His mouth opened a bit, soft snores coming out of his mouth. 

He look adorable when he was at peace, finally having his rest beside you after weeks of touring around America. He was the most beautiful like this, when he wasn't Adam the wrestler, a very aggressive and cocky person (although you don't mind that in bed). When he was just Adam your boyfriend, who is very sweet and affectionate,  mumbling in his sleep, his arms wrapped around your body, his legs sprawled out taking all the space and covers barely in his body because you hog it all. You rarely have times this anymore, being able to take in the beauty of your boyfriend. You were definitely gonna miss staring at him like this.

Adam rarely comes home. Sometimes it takes him weeks before he could go home in your apartment. There are times you can have him in weekends when tour isn't that much hectic. You're lucky if you get a good three days in a week from him. Ever since he started appearing in NJPW, you see him less than the usual, his career growing every day.

When Adam was in a near state, you try hard to drive no matter how many hours just to see him in that ring, doing what he does the best, his happiness radiating from him no matter what he does. You'll spend as much time you have with him even though it'll be just a few hours because of your drive back home and his flight.

But you weren't complaining. You knew this was Adam's dream. This was all he wanted in life and it make him so happy. Who are you to stop that? If it makes Adam happy, it's already enough to make you happy. 

That doesn't mean you never stopped longing for him.

An idea popped in your head. You slowly grabbed you phone from your night stand, careful not to wake your sleeping boyfriend up and for him to not notice you were awake. You opened the camera and filmed him. You pointed the camera on him. Recording the way he breathes, his hair falling down from his face and his cheek a bit flushed. You were filming for a good 15 seconds just staring at him when suddenly he opened his eyes. "Boo!"

You screamed, dropping you phone on his face, earning a groan of pain from him. "Hey that hurts!" You quickly grabbed your phone and ran out of bed, still filming him. "Not my fault you decided to scare me." You stuck out your tongue at him. "What are you doing out of the bed princess? With that phone? I need cuddles."

"You mean death grip hugs in bed?" you teased him, he flipped you off before laughing. "And I'm filming you, cos you'll leave again in two days and you'll take your handsome face with you." you explained, now you feeling sad acknowledging his departure yet again and you knew Adam noticed it.

"I knew it! You were only dating me because of my handsome face! What next? You're dating me because of my ass? C'mon Y/N, I thought you were better than that?" he was now sitting up, with a mock anger on his face but you can see a hint of smile. That was enough to tug on your heartstrings. He always has that effect on you, he can never fail to make you happy.

"I can't believe you already figured me out! Took you long enough though." you stuck out your tongue to him as he gestured you to go under the covers with him. You happily obliged and stopped filming, walking towards your side of the bed. You laid there in silence, Adam's arms wrapped around yours, his fingers tracing shapes on your arms.

"I'm gonna miss you." you broke the silence and he sighed. "I know darling. But at least this one's shorter right? Just a week and you can have me again." you nodded, nuzzling your face on his chest, savoring the moment.

Suddenly he carefully reached on his night stand. He grabbed his phone and opened the camera facing to yours. He pressed the button to start filming, "Look at my beautiful princess. Say hi!" you laughed at him, burying your face more on his chest. "Oh no, don't hide that smile c'mon! You're not the only who needs some video." You grinned at him and faced the camera.

"There, you happy handsome?"  he stopped filming and faced you. "Very happy. Now I don't know about you but I think I wanna film something else too." he gave you a knowing smirk then a wink. You slapped his chest, "Adam!"

He chuckled. "At least I tried."

Story:

Walking around backstage, Lauren was still in awe. Even though she had officially signed with Ring of Honor Wrestling about a month ago… this would be the night her career changed.

See, Lauren had managed to catch the attention of Cody Rhodes. He thought she would be the perfect addition to the Club. Her attitude, her talent, her passion for the business. She was exactly what the Bullet Club needed.

Cody had mentioned it to Kenny, and the two of them had a couple meetings with Lauren before she finally agreed to join. When she was signed with ROH, they had the perfect opportunity to finally bring her aboard officially.

The catch was, they hadn’t told the other members about her… not even her name. They all knew there was talk of bringing someone else on board, and they had all agreed, based on what they had heard, to have her join. None of them had met her, aside from Kenny and Cody.

Lauren knew the Club. She knew the members, and she knew what to expect. She also knew, this would mean that she would be working close with Adam Cole.

It had been years since she’d seen him last.

They had grown up together. Trained together.

He was her first crush, her first kiss, her first love. Then he had left.

Their careers took them in different directions for several years. Leaving them to never cross paths again. At least, not until now.

So, there she sat. Knees bouncing, hands running over her face. Just waiting. Waiting for her chance to reveal herself.

With a knock on her door, she knew it was time.

“Yea?” she called out.

“We’re headed out. You ready?” A voice called back.

Walking to the door, she opened it slowly. Just enough to see the person standing there through the slit.

“Ready as I’ll ever be,” she assured with a small smile.

“You sure you can do this?” Cody questioned, a brow furrowed.

“Yeah. I got this,” she solidified her smile as she looked up at him.

“Alright... See ya out there.”

She closed her door, walking back to her bag. Lauren quickly wrapped her hands, giving the guys a little extra time to get to the ring. Finally ready, she took a deep breath and opened her door.

Making her way to the staging area, she grabbed a mic and prepped herself. Listening to Adam ramble on about this and that, so she would know when to walk out the curtains, and preferably NOT fuck up.

It was show time.

“I’m sure you’re all curious who this new member is supposed to be, right?” She heard Adam prompting the audience.

The crowd cheers loudly in reply. They’ve been teasing this new member for months, but never dropped any hints as to who it might be.

“Well, we’ll get to that.” He smirked. “First, I hear there’s a new princess in Ring of Honor?”

The crowd erupts, knowing exactly who he is talking about.

“Seems all of you have taken a liking to her?”

Another round of cheers can be heard backstage.

“She’s wild, I’ll give her that,” Cody added. “But she’s too… good.”

“From what I hear, she needs to calm herself a bit. Could stand to get a little - what is it?” He snaps his fingers a couple times, as if trying to think of the words. He looks between the Bucks and Cody, who share the ring with him.

“Oh yea! A little rougher around the edges.” He laughs at his own comment.

That was her cue.

She stands just behind the curtain, tapping on her mic. As if to check if the sound is on. All four men look around, baffled by the interruption.

The lights go out. Soft blue and purple lights illuminate the arena instead. Finally, she makes her presence known.

Stepping from behind the curtain, and walking down until she stood in the middle of the ramp before she says a word.

“If I remember correctly, Adam, you always liked me just the way I was.” She cocked her head to the side, looking up at the four men. Though her gazed was fixed on one in particular.

“Well, well, well,” he began.

“Oh no. You’ve had your time to talk. Now it’s my turn,” she interrupted, a smirk playing on her lips.

Adam leaned on the top rope, just watching her. Doing his best not to break character. He hadn’t seen Lauren in years. Despite the time, he still felt that knot in his stomach seeing her. His heart was racing.

“I seem to remember you used to like my wilder side?” she teased, all a part of the act - of course - but this was getting fun. “What was it you used to tell me about my crazy?” She tapped her cheek, playfully thinking.

“Oh yes, that’s right. That it turned you on.” The smirk she leveled up at him could knock out a horse. She had clearly seen his eyes widen and a pink tint form on his cheeks.

“Do you really want that part of me gone, Adam?”

She started to slowly walk the rest of the way to the ring as she continued.

“I was your friend, your,” she whispered into the mic, “lover.”

Lauren started making her way up the steps on the corner of the ring. Her eyes never leaving Adam’s.

“Hell, you used to tell me I was your diamond in the rough. What happened to all that, Adam?”

“What are you doing here, Lauren?” he questioned, hoping his voice wouldn’t break as he watched her stepping through the ropes.

“Well, you were talking about me so much, I figured I might as well come join you so you could say it to my face.”

Now standing right in front of him, she could hear his breath catch.

She offered a sweet, innocent smile.

“Why? Why do you want to change me now? I thought you loved everything about me?” She shrugged. Taking a step back.

She starts walking around the ring a little as she presses on.

“You never know! If I change any more, you might start missin’ havin’ that old me around.” She cocked her hip and looked toward Adam over her shoulder suggestively.

“Is there a point to your rambling?” He cocked his head slightly, looking her over appraisingly.

“Sure,” she said in a very mono-tone, matter of fact, way.

Lauren stepped up to him again, holding her hand out to shake, eliciting a very confused look from Adam, Nick and Matt. Cody, on the other hand, had a rather mischievous smile on his face. He was proud of her, for being able to hold it together and pull it off so perfectly.

“My name is Lauren, and I, am your new teammate.” Her eyes, and lips, formed the perfect evil smile and glare.

“What?” Adam took a small step back, almost in shock.

Lauren felt an arm drape over her shoulder. She never took her eyes off Adam though.

“She’s right, guys!” Cody squeezed her shoulders a little in a hug.

“Well, Princess. Welcome to the team.”

Nick and Matt embraced her in a hug, before the five of them gathered in the center of the ring. Each throwing up a simple Too Sweet as the lights went completely out again.

As the five members of the Bullet Club made their way to the back again, Lauren felt an all too familiar arm wrap around her waist. A smile tugged at her lips, but she kept her composure and kept looking forward as they walked.

Once in the back, Lauren went to walk back to her locker room when she felt a tug on her wrist. Stopping and looking down to see the hand wrapped around her much smaller wrist, her eyes drifted up to the eyes of the man holding her back.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” His voice sounding more like a low growl.

“We haven’t talked in years, Adam,” she replied softly with a light shrug. She wasn't gonna make a big deal about it. “Didn’t think it was overly important to tell you anything. Besides, I would have missed that beautiful, dumbfounded look you offered when you saw it was me…” she smirked.

“Fair enough.” He seemed to realize his still present hand upon her wrist and dropped the appendage. “Can we talk now, then?”

“Here? No.”

“Locker room?” She watched as his eyes softened.

“Fine. Mine.”

Lauren turned and started walking toward her locker room again. She could hear Adam’s footsteps behind her, knowing he was keeping his distance.

Once they got to the door, he stepped around her. Opening the door, he let her pass inside first before following. Adam closed the door behind him.

Standing for a moment, he set his hand against the door and dropped his head. Gathering his thoughts, his courage, and his voice, he finally turned to face her.

She was leaning against a table, feet and arms crossed in front of her. Just watching him. He hadn’t changed much, still the same beautiful eyes, tantalizing smile.

“I’ve missed you,” he said quietly. Affectionately.

“Coulda fooled me,” she retorted sharply, her tone harsher than she intended.

“I’m sorry. I should have done better with keeping in touch. I just… “

He looked down at her feet, trying to keep himself together.

This was a different side of him. One Lauren hadn’t seen in a very very long time.

“It’s fine.” She stood up, and slowly made her way toward where he stood. “We both made mistakes, alright?”

“No, it’s not alright.” He looked up, finally meeting her eyes. “I love you, and I got scared, and I fucked up.”

“Wh-What?” She took a step back.

He had never said… those... words before... Sure, she knew he liked her, hell maybe he did love her - but he had never actually said those three words out loud.

“You heard me, and I mean every word of it.”

He reached out and rested his hands on her waist. Gripping just tight enough, he pulled her toward him until she was flush against his body.

“I was stupid. And I’m sorry. How about you let me make it up to you?” He smiled down at her.

A knock, and the clicking of the door opening pulled their attention away from each other.

“Hey, Lauren, have you seen--” Cody paused when he saw the two standing together.

“Ah, nev-er m-ind then,” he dismissed awkwardly, smiling nonetheless.

Lauren had told Cody a little about her past with Adam, and he was happy to the two re-connecting.

“I take it you two made up then?” He quipped with a wink and a wide grin.

“We’re working on it, Cody,” she said with a lighthearted edge to her voice.

She looked up into Adam’s eyes. Her smile so wide it reached her eyes. “We’re working on it.”
