Ninjago Google translated

== Way of the Ninja (cute ninja) ==

Tw, guns, death, cigarette

(The semester begins with a visit to Ignacia, who works at Kaichenia Four Hands.)

What: (Make a sword.) To make a perfect weapon, it must be strong and warm. Wow... it's great! (It hurts when the sword is broken).

Nia: (laughs) Hey, hurry up. I'm sorry, Dad.

Purchase: I know. No matter what your motivation, experience doesn’t come overnight. It may work for Nia, but I am more creative than my father.

Wu: (entering the shop) Hmm... your car is fast and heavy. It helps you feel better. Hidden insects. All samurai weapons but no ninjas?

What is a ninja? Hey, you don't see ninjas in these parts, old man, the name of the shop isn't Crowlo's, it's Cake Cool. Buy something or sell your curse elsewhere.

Wu: Yeah! That’s a terrible thing. I think I see something different here. (Kai goes to change Wu's clothes.)

Kay: I mean if you see anything strange... (if it works).

News: What is it?

Ki: Just forget it.

(A dark cloud appears above Ignite, signaling the arrival of the Skulkins. When they arrive, three Skulkin Police appear from a skeleton car.)

Nickel: Ah! I'm the first! Please. I have to go!

Kruncha: He's dead! Try fighting King Smokekai! (Voice change, back to Smokey.

Smokekai: I'm sorry, friend. Remember what we need and get a card. attack!

(All cars in Scotland fill up quickly, Igniti guarantees a car will arrive).

Smokey: You're tired!

(People turn and run, soldiers call).

The: (looking at the store). What a bye

Kay: (does something) I don't know. Stop here

(Kai rallies the Skulkin army, and one of them strikes Kai and decapitates him.)

You: Ah! Stop! (He kicks Scullen in the head. As the two skeletons celebrate their victory, Nia wakes up and sees them.)

Ki: (surprised by Nia's attack) Like I told you to stop!

Me: So what is it? Do you want everything?

(As the brothers fight the skeleton army, Kurosa and Nickel casually enter the restaurant and start looking around.)

Kroncha: You're not stubborn! (He played Nickel in a samurai helmet.)

Nick: Ah! Don’t be too harsh! (He kills Kruncha in retaliation. When the two Scottish managers fight, he turns the sign outside the shop and finds the card Somoki is looking for.)

Crunch and Nickel: (disgusted) Card!

(Outside, Kai finishes killing the last of his Skulkin warriors as Sumokai approaches him. Kai pulls out his gun and reveals that Sumokai also has four arms.)

You: (I know it’s him.) Oh.

(Koagu grabbed his gun and drew it.

Wu: (angrily) Ninja! (He attacks Smokey again.)

Yang Kai: Look Wu! Your sponge has become dusty.

Wu: Smokekai, don't let anything happen.

(Samakai saw Kai holding a bucket of water on the ground, lifted one knee and slammed the bucket onto Kai).

Ki: (looking at the tank) Oh...!

Wu: Thank you very much! (He used Spongjutsu again to save Kai.)

Smokekai: (returns to the car with the map and skull, instead of dispatching Wu first) Lord Garmadon said take the girl!

Wu: (inaudible) Lord Garmadon?

(Kruncha laughs and grabs Nia by the handle of the car.)

Ki: no! (A bone is equal to a liver.)

Kay: (sadly) got the word…

Wu: I already said. (She hits him over the head with a bamboo stick.) Don't go.

Amy: (angry) Come on! you have to do something! You can use... Twist or -.

Wu: Spanish: Uncle!

Kai: But you didn't do anything! Bring my sister!

W: No one can go anywhere. King Smokai is undefeated. Mr. Mani also feared that if he had taken Gamadon's advice seriously, he would have been in dire straits.

Kai: Are you Gambi-san? World of humans? What's important to them? Why did they arrest my brother?

Wu: What? What about Ninjago? You can take it Combine all your strength. When he died, he promised to protect his two children, but the darkness betrayed his parents: an old man who was defeated in the war and thrown into the desert. The brothers hid their weapons, but they did not want the police to see them, so they sent a guard. And there are maps where his followers can hide in fear of death. (Last photo) The righteous is his father. His older brother is Lord Grimdon. I have to find him before he uses the gun.

Amy: Are you young? So do you have everything in the recipe?

Wu: Absolutely not. I am here for something important. You are the only one. My brother couldn't come, so he arranged for a cigarette. Collect all 4 weapons. I can't stop you But there is fire within you. I will show you how to use it. Please use it. Be a holy teacher.

AMY: Well, I'm glad you said that, but I have to save my brother! I'm not going to fight your brother. (Mr. Conan overwhelms Kai, who tries to leave.)

Wu: And it's not good to laugh too much. You're not ready to get your finger on it. If you want your sister back, you must control your inner fire. You can meet Lord Gamadon for the first time after meeting SpongeBob.

Tui Pui: Yes. So when do we start?

(The next day, Kayuk climbs to the impossible height of Spinjitsu Monastery).

Q: (pause) How long have you been training? See a map above?

Wu: (offers) Wait. (goes to school) I'm done, I'm done. immediately

* (surprised) Daddy? Do you want to learn how to fight peacefully?

D: No harm. To become a true ninja, you must know the unknown.

* But there is nothing here

(Clicking the dragon icon reveals a secret button that activates all the trainers in the monastery).

* (surprised) Oh! Can you teach me how (go to campus)?

Wu: (somewhat confused) Oh.

(K shoots the dragon and it falls to the ground).

Answer: We will end the lesson before tea. Then realize that you are ready. (He drank the whole bottle.) Not today. I'll try again tomorrow.

Question: (angry) Really? But it hasn't started yet.

Wu: (closes the barn door) Wait.

(Kai trains the following week, but misses Wu several times, contrary to Wu's wishes).

Wu: They failed. Haha, no need! I won! And... it won't happen.

(Kai decides to look for fitness equipment one day to find Wu. He pours the tea into another cup and goes up the stairs, Kai can't find it.)

Kei: (Takes a bowl of sugar and threatens Xiao Wu) Is the sugar ready?

(Wu enters the monastery and admires Kai's success.)

Kai: Okay, do you want to learn how to play?

Wu: Done. Final exam tomorrow. (laughs) My advice is to sleep more.

(That night, while Wu is sleeping and Kai is getting ready to sleep, the monastery is attacked by three alien ninjas).

SH: (Thoughtfully) My advice is to sleep.

* (looks at herself) Oh! (The first ninja slowly enters the door.) Here he comes. (A ninja comes around the corner with a shuriken.) Look. (Who has the third ninja?)

(3 ninjas prepare to attack).

* (annoyed) Oh.

The Wild Hunt is a folklore motif. Wild Hunts typically involve a 'soul-raving' chase led by a folkloric figure(s) escorted by a ghostly or supernatural group of hunters passing in wild pursuit.

THREAD BELOW:

In German folklore, it is known as the Wilde Jagd or Wütendes Heer. The leader, often called der Schimmelreiter, is generally identified with the god Wotan. Seeing the Wild Hunt was thought to presage some catastrophe, it was also believed that people could be pulled away.

In Scandinavia, the leader of the hunt was Odin & the event was called Odens jakt or Oskoreien. Odin's hunt was heard but rarely seen, and a trait is that one of his dogs was barking louder and a second one fainter. When it was heard, it meant changing weather, war, or unrest.

In France, the 'Host' was known as Familia Hellequini and Maisnie Hellequin. This hunt was usually led by the devil or a demonic entity. Other similar figures appear in the French folklore, such as 'Le Grand-Veneur', a hunter who chased with dogs in the forest of Fontainebleau.

In England, it was known as Herlaþing, Woden's Hunt, Herod's Hunt, Cain's Hunt and Gabriel's Hounds. Different interpretations of the hunt had different leaders, some by demons, others by cursed men, and others by pagan gods, fairies, or angels. They are said to carry people off.

In parts of Britain, the hunt is said to be that of hell-hounds chasing sinners or the unbaptised. In Devon these are known as Yeth or Wisht Hounds. In Cornwall, they are Dando and his Dogs or the Devil and his Dandy Dogs. The hunt is particularly associated with Wistman's Wood.

The American country song "Ghost Riders in the Sky" from 1948, tells of cowboys condemned to chase the Devil's cattle through the night sky of the Western USA. Cowboys can be condemned to chase the Devil's cattle when they die if they do not repent for their sins.

In Welsh folklore, Cŵn Annwn were the spectral hounds of Annwn, the otherworld. They were associated with a form of the Wild Hunt, presided over by Arawn, king of Annwn. In Wales, they were associated with migrating geese, and are considered a portent of death.

The Santa Compaña is a folkloric belief in rural northwest Iberia: Galicia, Asturias (Spain) and Northern Portugal. The common belief is that of a procession of the dead that wander through the village paths of a parish beginning at midnight wearing white, hooded cloaks.

In Welsh folklore, Gwyn ap Nudd was depicted as a wild huntsman riding a demon horse who hunts souls at night along with a pack of white-bodied and red-eared 'dogs of hell'. He is the king of the Underworld who makes sure that the imprisoned devils do not destroy human souls.

In the Czech Republic, divoký hon or štvaní is a term for a group of demonic beings, often considered the souls of the dead or hunters, who roam the sky or the earth with their leader, often at night. Stories of them are more common in the Bohemia region, and during Christmas.

In León, Span it is called "La Hueste de Animas", and involves a procession of the dead in forests or the sky at night. It is also called La Estadea, led by a woman who wanders the roads and cemeteries. It has no face and smells of the humidity of the tombs.

Dziki Łów or Dziki Gon is the Wild Hunt of Polish folklore. It is very similar to the Germanic variants but the leader is usually a Slavic deity instead of a German one, or the leader of the host is the devil himself.

The Jinetes en el Cielo is the Wild Hunt of Mexico and some of the US Southwest. It involves Hispanic cowboys (vaqueros, jinetes, or charros) condemned to chase the Devil's cattle through the night sky. Vaqueros can join them if they do not repent for their sins.

In Italy, especially in the Alpine area, the Caccia infernale is associated with distant lights, hoofs, dog barking, demonic screams, and a loud hiss of the wind. It is associated with the figure of Theodoric the Great or the Devil. Catholic faith can drive away the procession.

Count Arnau (el comte Arnau), a legendary nobleman from Ripollès, Catalunya, who for his cruelty and lechery is condemned to ride to hounds for eternity while his flesh is devoured by flames. He is the subject of a classic traditional Catalan ballad.

Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) is from Japanese folklore. Sometimes an orderly procession, other times a riot, it refers to an uncontrolled horde of countless numbers of supernatural creatures known as oni and yōkai.

In Slovenia, the hunt is usually led by Jarnik (Jarilo), also called Volčji pastir (Wolf Herdsman). In some variations mythical wild Baba leads the hunt.

In Hawaiian legend, Nightmarchers (huaka'i pō) are the spirits of ancient Hawaiian warriors. On the nights honoring the Hawaiian gods Kane, Ku, Lono, or on the nights of Kanaloa they are said to come forth from their burial sites, or to rise up from the ocean, and to march.

In the Netherlands, the hunt is led by Wodan or Gait/Derk met de hunties (Gait/Derk and his little dogs).

La Chasse-galerie also known as "The Bewitched Canoe" or "The Flying Canoe" is a popular French-Canadian tale of Coureurs des bois who make a deal with the devil, a variant of the Wild Hunt.

The sluagh sídhe—"the fairy host"—is sometimes depicted in Irish and Scottish folklore as a crowd of airborne spirits, perhaps the cursed, evil or restless dead. They are also known as "the horde". The siabhra, may be a type of these lesser spirits, prone to evil and mischief.

The missa dos mortos is a Brazilian legend. One night a church caretaker sees lights in the church. Thinking they were thieves, he investigates. To his surprise, he sees that the temple is full of the the Faithful, chandeliers lit and a priest preparing to celebrate a mass.

Everyone was wearing dark clothes and remained with their heads down. He also realizes that the environment was colder than the open one outside. When the priest turned, he saw that his face was a skull, and that everyone in the church was dead, a chapel full of skeletons!

The Flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship which was said to never be able to make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever. The legend is likely to have originated from the 17th-century Golden Age of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and Dutch maritime power.

On This Day In Royal History

3 February 1014

King Sweyn Forkbeard died

Sweyn (Svein) was the first Viking king of England.

◼ Sweyn Forkbeard, England’s forgotten king, ruled for just 5 weeks. He was declared King of England on Christmas Day in 1013 & ruled until his death on 3rd February 1014, although he was never crowned.

◼ Sweyn, known as Forkbeard due to his long, cleft beard, was the son of Harald Bluetooth, king of Denmark & was born around 960 AD. Sweyn was baptised a Christian, his father having converted to Christianity.

◼ Sweyn was a brutal man who lived in a brutal time; he was a violent warlord & warrior. He started his life of violence with a campaign against his own father: in around 986 AD Sweyn & his ally Palnatoke attacked & deposed Harald.

◼ Sweyn then turned his attention to England & in the early AD 990s led a campaign of fear & destruction, laying waste to large areas of the country. Ethelred the Unready was king of England at this time. He decided to pay Sweyn to return to Denmark & leave the country in peace, a tax which became known as Danegeld.

◼ However this was not a successful strategy & the Danes continued raiding in the north of England, albeit on a smaller scale. Some even began to settle there. Ethelred was persuaded that in order to protect England, he would have to rid the land of these Danish settlers.

◼ On St. Brices Day, November 13th 1002 Ethelred ordered a general massacre of all Danes in England, including men, women & children. Amongst those killed was Sweyn’s sister Gunhilde.

◼ Sweyn swore revenge on Ethelred & in 1003 landed in England with an invading force. His attacks were on an unprecedented scale, his forces pillaging & plundering without mercy. Such was the devastation that King Ethelred again paid off the Danes in order to gain respite for the terrified populous. The raids continued on & off until in 1013 Sweyn returned to invade once more, landing this time at Sandwich in modern-day Kent. He rampaged through England, the terrified locals submitting to his forces. Finally he turned his attention to London, which proved more difficult to subdue. At first Ethelred and his ally Thorkell the Tall held their ground against him but soon the people began to fear severe reprisals if they did not submit. Disillusioned with their ineffective king, the English earls reluctantly declared Sweyn king and Ethelred fled into exile, first to the Isle of Wight and then to Normandy.

◼ Sweyn was proclaimed king on Christmas Day 1013, but his reign lasted for a matter of weeks; he died suddenly at his capital, Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, on February 3rd 1014. Sweyn was buried in England and his body was later removed to Roeskild Cathedral in Denmark.

◼ How he died is not certain. One account describes him falling from his horse, and another that he died of an apoplexy, but a later legend has him murdered in his sleep by St Edmund, himself martyred by Vikings in the 9th century. It is said that Edmund returned from the grave in the dead of night during Candlemass and killed him with a spear.

👑Archaeologists have recently discovered human remains at Roskilde Cathedral on the site of an old wooden church, built by Harald Bluetooth. It is possible that this unidentified skeleton could be that of Sweyn.

◼ King Sweyn’s descendants through his daughter Estrid continue to reign in Denmark today. Margaret of Denmark, a direct descendant, married James III of Scotland in 1469 introducing the bloodline in the Scottish royal family. Sweyn’s decedents became monarchs in England once again in 1603 after James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne.

hello I just beat Luigi’s Mansion 3 and I have headcanons for all of the new boss ghosts

Steward:

He’s originally from New Donk City.

He used to be a taxi cab driver, and he died when he was driving home one night by himself and his headlights failed and he crashed into a tree.

He was one of Hellen Gravely’s very first employees, along with Chambrea!

He’s really nervous and kind of awkward when not on the job, but he works very hard.

He and Chambrea are really good friends and get coffee together after work.

Chambrea:

She’s a New Donker too, and used to work as a maid in a fancy hotel prior to, well, getting a job as a maid at a different fancy hotel after dying.

She died by slipping and falling down the stairs.

She is a really sweet and enthusiastic person when not under King Boo’s control, and really loves her job!

She’s a HUGE gossip, and loves to hear and tell everyone about the drama going on with employees and guests.

She and Steward knew each other back when they were alive.

Kruller:

He used to work in the Coconut Mall. Yes, that one, from Mario Kart. He was a mall cop.

He died during a robbery. He wasn’t attacked by the robber, he was chasing after the robber and knocked over a shelf and it fell on him.

He’s a HUGE fan of Morty’s movies. He can quote everything.

He likes to hang out in the cafe area at the shops with his Goob buddies.

Death hasn’t really changed him -- he was a cowardly goofball back when he was alive, too.

Chef Soulffle:

He was actually a TERRIBLE chef back when he was alive. He only learned how to cook after he became a ghost.

He died because he accidentally burned down his kitchen at home.

He used to be called Chef Souffle, but started calling himself Chef Soulffle after his death to be more “ghosty”.

He HATES mushrooms.

He doesn’t have a lot of friends, but he has a weird friendship with Clem, because he thinks Clem is the only other employee who truly appreciates his cooking.

Amadeus Wolfgeist:

He speaks with an exaggerated German accent.

He died of a heart attack.

Outside of King Boo’s influence, he’s actually rather pleasant to be around! But he’s also very intense and takes everything super seriously.

He’s not a full-time employee of the Last Resort, he’s just a famous ghost musician and composer who gets hired to perform there a lot.

He loves the artwork of Vincent Van Gore from the first Luigi’s Mansion game, and in turn, Vincent Van Gore is a big fan of his music! But they’ve never actually met in person.

King MacFrights:

He is not and was never a king. He’s just an old ghost warrior who got a job as a hotel mascot.

But he doesn’t really understand modern life, so he thinks he’s a king now.

He died in battle. Probably in a battle fought over something really stupid.

He sounds very, very Scottish, and when he’s angry, nobody else at the Last Resort can understand what in the world he’s saying.

The castle movie in Paranormal Productions is based on the battle where he died! But it’s extremely historically inaccurate, because the only source Morty has is King MacFrights himself, and MacFrights loves to make stuff up.

Dr. Potter:

He names all of his plants. Most of them have very silly names, like “Chompy” or “Pokey Pete”. Some of them have names that reference other Mario characters instead, like “Vivian”.

He died of old age.

He loves to play board games.

Even outside of King Boo’s influence, he’s kind of a jerk, and likes to mess with people and make fun of them.

He gets along really well with little kids, though.

Morty:

He’s from Diamond City, home of Wario!

He died when he was filming a movie on a skyscraper in the rain and he fell off the roof.

He’s just so wrapped up in his own little world of film direction that he has absolutely no idea what’s going on in the rest of the hotel and is totally immune to King Boo’s influence over ghosts.

He and Amadeus Wolfgeist are really good friends.

He makes all the commercials for the Last Resort.

Ug:

He’s not an employee. He’s not even a paying guest. He’s just here because Hellen Gravely bought the dinosaur skeleton he was haunting.

He is really, really dumb. Not in a “cavemen are stereotypically dumb” way, just that Ug, specifically, is a really dumb caveman.

He died because he tried to fight a T. Rex by himself and it ate him. That’s the one whose skeleton he’s haunting.

He’s originally from the Cascade Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey.

He literally cannot tell the difference between Luigi and Gooigi. That’s why he keeps trying to eat Gooigi with the T. Rex skeleton in his boss battle.

Clem:

Even outside of King Boo’s Influence, Clem is really obnoxious and kind of mean. He’s just a total hick and doesn’t really know how to act in a place like the Last Resort.

The reason he’s such an asshole (normally) is because he’s really insecure about his intelligence. Clem is very smart, but he knows people probably think he’s stupid because he’s such a lazy hillbilly.

He died in a work accident, where he was electrocuted.

He loves to eat fancy food like what Chef Soulffle cooks, but he’s too lazy to go up and get some most of the time, so he mostly just eats junk food.

ALL of the rubber ducks in the hotel are his. He thinks it’s funny to leave them in weird places.

Serpci:

She’s not an employee, she’s a VIP guest!

She was a princess in the ancient Birabuto/Pyrapt Kingdom of what is now Sarasaland.

She died from being bitten by a venomous snake.

She likes to occasionally check up on modern Sarasaland, so she knows about Princess Daisy! But they’ve never met, and she has no idea about Daisy’s involvement with Luigi.

She actually has a rather silly personality. She loves practical jokes, weird puzzles, and trolling people in general. Her hotel room is right on top of what is almost certainly an escape room for ghosts, after all.

Nikki, Lindsey and Ginny:

Nikki is the ponytail one, Lindsey is the short pigtails one, and Ginny is the long pigtails one.

They died during a magic show, when they set up some special effects wrong and accidentally set off an explosion. They still finished the show -- as ghosts.

They love to play video games!

Like Amadeus Wolfgeist, they’re not full-time employees. Rather, they’re celebrity magicians, and the Last Resort hires them for magic show gigs.

They think Serpci is just THE COOLEST, and in turn, Serpci loves their magic shows and trickster style!

Captain Fishook:

He’s a VIP guest too, like Serpci.

That’s not, specifically, his pirate ship that he possesses during his boss battle -- it’s a pirate ship, but it’s technically just a special VIP seating area for the Spectral Catch seafood restaurant that has been styled as a pirate ship.

He died while fighting a rival pirate crew over some treasure, and one of them fired a harpoon into his eye.

He thinks King MacFrights is absolutely hilarious.

The Oozers from his boss battle are actually from his old pirate crew!

Johnny Deepend:

He’s not an employee, he’s a guest. But he’s not a special VIP guest. He’s just a normal guest who happens to be a really strong ghost.

His death was really stupid. He didn’t even drown. He wanted to swim some laps for his fitness routine, but the indoor pool near his house was closed for repairs. So he broke into the indoor pool in the middle of the night, but all the lights were off, and he accidentally did a big dive into the shallow end and hit his head and died.

He likes to go to the Museum of Unnatural History, because he thinks dinosaurs are WAY COOL.

Because of this, he’s friends with Ug. Neither one has any idea what the other is actually saying, though.

He didn’t actually figure out that Gooigi is weak to water until he squirted him. He just does that at everyone.

DJ Phantasmagloria:

She died during a wild outdoor concert. She set her speakers so loud that it caused the roof over the stage to collapse on her when she turned them up to full blast.

Her real name is just Gloria, Phantasmagloria is her stage name.

She likes Amadeus Wolfgeist’s music, but he doesn’t like her music.

In addition to being a mega-popular DJ, she’s also known among ghosts for being a really talented freestyle rapper!

She’s from Diamond City, like Morty, but she didn’t meet Morty until after they both became ghosts and got jobs at the Last Resort.

Hellen Gravely:

She’s also a New Donker! But she (and her original employees, Steward and Chambrea) never met Mario or Luigi while she was alive, because she died before they were even born.

She died of illness when she was old, which is why her true appearance looks the way it does.

Polterkitty is actually way older than she is, though.

She’s not exactly in love with King Boo. It’s more like that Hark! A Vagrant comic with Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe, with Hellen just being an obsessive loony fangirl.

She built the Last Resort on the site of an old mansion. It’s a Luigi’s Mansion game, after all, the mansion just isn’t actually there anymore.

BONUS!

Hammers are the ghosts of Thwomps.

“Kshfhrrzjflsu I cannot explain without writing a goddamn essay but...”

storytime????

omg okay now that I’m out of work, you asked for it

(just to be safe, tw for mind control, violence, ableist language, and me being a big dork)

aight so long long story very short (I cannot believe this is the short version, i’m a walking disaster), i’m in a campaign with my bf and two other friends, my bro is running it. The setting is this world called the Quilt, which is literally made up of a patchwork of sections of landscapes literally stolen from various, alternate versions of earth, from different times, different timelines, different universes. Each of our characters came through on one of these patches, each from their own world and ejected into this bizarre composite world.

The important characters in the part of the story I can’t stop thinking about are: -my bro’s main NPC, King, who happens to be a literal skeleton, with kind of a cowboy vibe. He knows way more what’s going on than the rest of the party, and he has a revolver with bullets that can kill pretty much any monster on the Quilt. -my bf’s character, Angel, a dude who’s been in the Quilt for a long, long time. Wears a suit, constantly barefoot, was a world-hopper for ages and ages before he wound up stuck here on the Quilt. kind of the unofficial party leader, aside from King. He’s funny, a little whiny, makes most of his decisions based on sheer emotion rather than logic. -friend A’s character, Karl, who was a magician on modern-day earth before he came here. He’s kind of a pacifist, one of the moral centers of the group. He helped complete part one of our Big Objectives, and in the process he aged a full fifty years. he was young when we started, now he’s a fairly spry seventy-something. -friend B’s character, Bonegrinder, who is a weird, humanoid hyena sort of person? she’d been separated from the group a while before this, and had recently been reunited with us. She’s a tank sort of fighter, with a big ol’ mace. -friend B’s other character, Agravane, who was a werewolf hunter from some sort of steampunky version of earth, I think. his main goal is to finish the quest & get back to his wife & kids, and he’s a very composed, very group-minded dude -my character, Oscar (the Professor, 9 times outta 10), who is an older Indiana Jones/The Mummy 1999 style archaeologist from sometime around WWI who also happens to be sort of cursed? but he’s chill with it? he has this gigantic warhammer that he found a long time ago, which permanently connected him with the former owner, the ghost of an ancient scottish warrior who currently goes by Birch. She co-habits his body, and can take over when they need to fight, since he has no clue how to do that. -we each have at least two characters so there’s a bunch more but those are the important ones for the Good Shit(tm) that happened last night

So, leaving aside how we all wound up together, and leaving aside what exactly our quest is & why we’re doing it, atm all our characters are milling around an old west town that got patched in. It’s long abandoned- some of us are taking a break in the saloon & taking advantage of the left-behind booze, some of us are on a little expedition back to the last patch to raid an abandoned palace, some are milling around our vehicles (one is a horse-drawn carriage, one is essentially a bigass tank), and while we’re all not really on guard, we see a group of about twelve people coming towards us, from the direction we need to go next.

Karl is off ahead checking out the sheriff’s office, but Prof, Angel, Agravane, and a few others come out of the saloon to see if we need to be worried about this new development. The group has a few weapons, mostly melee, but they’re not brandishing them and they all seem pretty friendly, and they’re not threatening us. They’re carrying a rickshaw sort of thing, covered, and we can’t see the person in it as they come closer. We’re wary, but we greet them nicely enough, and they tell us they’ll join us for a rest. Prof mentions that we’re not staying long, and they smile and say, oh, I’m sure you will, and they throw the cloth off the rickshaw.

Enter, The Handsome Man.

Handsome, first of all, is one of our targets. We’ve been told he is a threat, and that he’s going to try to stop us/kill us to keep us from doing our goal. More importantly, Handsome has a power- a sort of compulsion to him, that our characters don’t know about. My brother pauses us and tells us OOC that out of ALL the player characters, Karl and the Professor are the ONLY ones who are immune. Everyone else- eye contact and he snares you. Listen to his voice and he snares you. Smell him, he snares you.

So. When the cloth comes off, the Prof is the only player character in range who isn’t affected. Angel is immediately gone, wide-eyed, pulling his hair tie out and practically drooling. Agravane is charmed, dizzy, staring. King is unaffected, but he bolts when he realizes what’s happening.

Prof is... confused, needless to say. Turns to Agravane, turns to Angel, asks what the hell is wrong with the both of you. He’s dangerous, keep your guard up. They mostly ignore him, because they can’t help themselves. Angel in particular is really weak to this sort of suggestion/influence/mind control, and he’s... not even trying to fight it. Handsome tells everyone to head into the saloon, and Prof is the only one who says yeah uh no. Everyone else just dutifully, cheerfully wanders in.

While this tension builds, our other group is on their way back from the palace. Bonegrinder is in that group with a few others, and when she sees Handsome in the distance- it’s panic. See, when she was separated from us before, she wound up caught by Handsome’s cult, and she managed to escape. So she knows what his deal is, and she knows that his influence works on her. She warns the group, and they try to approach without looking at him, without letting him get in their heads, but when they get closer Handsome physically grabs my other character, Jadewing, and sets her giggling after him, sends her into the saloon. friend A’s other character, Kojiro, is feeling the effect a little but manages to avoid direct eye contact so he’s... doing okay, comparatively. He only manages to avoid getting grabbed as well because Handsome is distracted when Bonegrinder tries to sneak away.

He aggressively follows her, starts trying to make his influence work on her again despite her resistance, pulls at her tail, and the Professor approaches and tells him to stop. Prof is still trying to keep this from escalating to violence, so he says Handsome is being impolite instead of telling him to fuck right off. It distracts him, at least, and Bonegrinder and player A’s other character manage to slip away out of the danger zone.

Handsome, seething and confused about how the Prof isn’t affected by his shit, tells him to go into the saloon with the rest. Prof says he’d rather not. Handsome insists. Professor pauses, gestures, says after you then, and Handsome ripostes age before beauty. Professor reluctantly goes in.

It’s- overcrowded, with most of the party and all of Handsome’s cult. Angel is playing bartender, Professer stays near the door, and Handsome starts schmoozing with everyone. After a bit of banter, with Prof trying to make his party members realize what’s happening with very little luck, Handsome is suddenly done playing.

A kiss, to the person who goes and kills Bonegrinder for me.

The Professor steps in front of the door.

Oh see I left a thing outside, Angel says, not trying. I left my sword outside, Agravane says casually.

The Professor tries to appeal to them, despairing, desperate. Don’t do this. Please don’t do this.

Agravane is chillingly matter-of-fact. Come now, I just have to kill Bonegrinder. Angel tries to push past and Professor lets Birch take over to make him strong enough to toss Angel back against the bar.

There’s another NPC in the saloon as well, goes by Whiskers, and Handsome turns to him then. Fine, he says. Double or nothing. Whiskers and Bonegrinder, and you get two kisses.

The Professor groans quietly. Angel and Agravane meet eyes.

Too quick, Angel pulls a knife from a cult member and spins to try to plant it into Whiskers’ stomach. They scuffle, and Whiskers only manages to not die immediately because Agravane and Angel are fighting to keep each other from killing him, so that they can do it instead.

They’ve moved off to the side. Everyone is looking there now. Professor knows he probably won’t get another chance.

Now, usually the Professor himself doesn’t fight. Birch does that. It’s her strength that allows his body to even carry the warhammer, let alone use it. Last time they were in the city, though, the Professor picked up something, just in case of emergencies.

The Professor takes a half step forward, pulls a tiny derringer pistol from inside his coat, and fires up into Handsome’s face.

Handome isn’t human in the traditional sense, and it doesn’t kill him. What it does do, though, is interrupt the influence, just for a second.

A lot of things happen all at once, then. One of the cult members hits the Professor with a melee weapon, knocking him backward out the door onto his ass. Across the room, my other character Jadewing smashes a bottle on the ground, visibly freaking out when the mind control weakens. Agravane knocks out a cult member and then plants his stolen knife in a second. Back across, Jadewing lights the broken bottle of booze on fire in a panicky attempt to force everyone back outside. It half works, because the fire hurts another NPC and snaps him out of the enchantment. He grabs Jadewing and launches the both of them out the window, further away from Handsome.

Handsome, furious, tries to regain control of the room. Angel falls back in line instantly, but Agravane is conscious of what’s happening now, and he launches himself out the other window.

The Professor had reconvened outside with King, Kojiro, Karl, Bonegrinder, and one or two other NPCs, and they have all lined up outside, waiting to see what comes next. The Professor looks at everyone around him and says, horrified, is anyone else unaffected? King affirms, but no one else says anything (I later learn that Karl had virtually no idea what was happening, he was immune but had no idea that there was some sort of magical mind control even happening until it was nearly over). We all ready up, pulling in the party members that come flying out various windows.

Handsome comes out the front door, Angel’s back pressed snugly against his front. Handsome gets handsy with him for a second, kisses his cheek I think, shoring up the influence (though he really, really doesn’t need to), and says, essentially, that the deal is still on. He pulls out a rapier from nowhere, gives it to Angel, and tells him to go kill Bonegrinder.

Angel doesn’t fucking hesitate. Professor tries to talk him down, I thought you were better than this, than doing anything for a pretty face. Angel laughs. Says, don’t be stupid, this is better for all of us! One life, her life, and the rest of get to live. This is just so much easier. He flicks the rapier around, deft and quick. Bonegrinder, still wincingly terrified of Handsome, gets ready to fight. Angel goes for the lunge, and Kojiro, who had been so carefully keeping his eyes and the rest of him away from Handsome, leapt in between, blade drawn.

I’ll take both your legs off right here. I will not hesitate. Kojiro swings to demonstrate, aiming for the hand and trying to disarm, but Angel is quicker than he looks, and he evades back.

King had kept his weapon trained on Handsome, but when we were distracted with the conflict, Handsome had lured Whiskers out. He’s holding him like he had been holding Angel before, but it’s definitely more of a hostage pose now. Angel grins. There’s a case Whiskers had given Angel before, with something inside that we need to finish our quest. Whiskers knows how to use it. He explained it to Angel a long time ago. Angel brings this up, tells Kojiro to step aside, because when Handsome kills Whiskers, he’ll be the only one who can finish this.

The Professor says, I know what it is.

Angel glares.

Handsome snaps Whisker’s neck.

King immediately starts shooting, and Handsome stumbles back into the saloon, taking two or three hits before he starts dodging the bullets. Angel tries to whip his rapier at King, but Kojiro manages to get a hit on him just then, smacking him in the back of the head with the hilt of his sword, jarring him out of it for just a second, giving King, the Professor, and Karl time to rush into the saloon after Handsome.

King is FREAKING OUT now because we already almost lost Whiskers once, he’s important to the quest, and now he’s fucking gone, and when we get into the saloon and Handsome’s not immediately in sight, King starts going apeshit on the cultists. Karl, in rare show of combat, takes out about a half dozen cultists with a semiautomatic, and the Professor drags out the two NPC’s that had been hypnotized.

There’s a brief, brief interlude where none of us know where Handsome is, and the effects of his charm are wearing off, a little, depending on how susceptible each character is. The Professor starts talking again, trying to ground everyone telling everyone that we should pile into the vehicles and get out of here while we can. Karl starts talking to Agravane, encourages him to take himself out of the action. He’s vulnerable to this, he needs to put himself in the tank and just sit. Agravane agrees, and he stumbles off towards the tank. Professor shakes Angel, asks him if he’s got control of himself, but he still seems hazy and out of it. Professor shakes him again, tells him to get into the tank where he won’t be able to hurt anyone or try to, and he struggles and low key freaks out, then seems to come back to himself, finally, for a moment. Says, shaky, get me the hell out of here, please. The Professor takes his arm and starts leading him towards the vehicle.

Then Handsome’s voice comes over the tank loudspeaker. Tells us that we really should be more careful about this sort of thing, and he lets Agravane talk from in there too, and he says it’s fine, friends, I’m fine in here, it’s really rather nice- and Handsome says okay. Kill the bitch (Bonegrinder), the schizo (Professor), and my brother’s favorite (meaning Karl), and we can be done with this.

The Professor slaps his hands over Angel’s ears to try to mitigate the damage, but Angel’s body language, the way he seems to be relaxing, the Professor knows he’s in trouble.

Please don’t hit me, he says, full of a despairing sort of humor. Please, please don’t hit me.

Oh, I’m not going to hit you. Angel’s voice is calm.

Please don’t kill me, the Professor says.

[Okay, my bf says OOC, we need a rock paper scissors. This is the main way deal with character to character conflicts, or direct clashes (earlier, when Kojiro kept Angel from hitting King with the sword, that had been decided via RPS). One throw for the resolution. Now, I’m fucking terrified because I know we’re nearing end-game. If this breaks bad, the Professor could very well die. I close my eyes, and I throw. First is a tie. Second, still with eyes closed, I win.]

Angel pulls his gun, twisting around to shoot the Professor, but Karl intervenes, grabbing his arm and keeping the gun from going off. The Professor - Birch now - pushes him away, and Angel scrambles up onto the top of our tank

Angel starts threatening everyone from up there, and Tabitha - another NPC, a kid who isn’t affected by Handsome who’s been keeping back for most of this encounter - shoots Angel in the armor and knocks him down, putting him out of the fight.

King, who had been circling the tank with his gun trained on it, finally loses his patience and shoots.

Bad luck this time, though. He misses through the metal, and Agravane takes the bullet, right in the side. Handsome leaps out the top with all kinds of superhuman strength, aiming his fall towards the Professor. Birch readies the warhammer, ready to babe ruth him back into the atmosphere, but he moves faster than gravity would indicate and the Professor/Birch take a shattering elbow to the nose, and they go down to the ground. King takes another shot, this one much more effective to the center mass. A few of the others pile on, battering him a bit, distracting him long enough that King can get a headshot off.

There’s a pulse-

The Handsome Man is dead, and everyone is back in control of their own selves.

And there’s quite a lot of baggage to sort through, after that.

The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743. Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart.

The Wasp Factory

The Crown Hangs Heavy.

Just me creating my own events for our current wwe drama. Sorry for the cliffhanger.

Edit- name change. Also was gonna name it fsr too young to die but already have a wip with that name so.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue eyes water as they stare at the tombstone.

Michaels.

"Um ... mmm." The man clears his throat and steps forward. "You ... you told me once that you weren’t a hero. Umm ... there were times I didn’t even think you were human, but let me tell you this: you were the best man, and the most human ... human being that I’ve ever known and no-one will ever convince me that you told me a lie, and so ... There." He nods.

He blows out a breath, whimpering slightly. Looking over his shoulder again, he walks over to the headstone and puts his fingertips onto the top of it.

"I was so alone, and I owe you so much." He takes a tearful breath.

"Okay."

He turns and starts to walk away but only reaches the foot of the grave before he turns back again.

'"No, please, there’s just one more thing, mate, one more thing: one more miracle, Leon, for me. Don’t ... be ... " his voice breaks and fills with tears "... dead. Would you do ...? Just for me, just stop it." He gestures down at the grave. " Stop this."

He sighs and lowers his head and stands there, broken. Reflected in the smooth marble of the headstone, his figure appears to have the name LEON carved directly across his chest. He lowers his head further, covers his eyes with one hand and weeps. Finally he wipes his eyes, sniffs deeply and raises his head, coming to attention in front of his best friend, his husband. Nodding in salute to him and giving himself permission to dismiss, he turns smartly on one heel and then walks away.

Standing some distance away under a tree and obscured from view by other headstones, Leon Michaels watches his best friend, Husband, walk across the graveyard until he disappears from view. He looks reflective for a long moment, then turns and walks away.

A smile playing in his lips.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew hangs his coat up, hesitates before taking off the stolen scarf to hang that up as well before placing down his bag.

"Been to see him?" Sheamus asks quietly, eyes landing on the black scarf. "Couldn't do it." Drew mutters lowering his head. He's been everyday for the past year to deliver Leon's scarf. And he cannot do it. "Hes truly gone this time, Sheamus" Drew whispers looking at his friend. "I will admit. This is the longest any of them have stayed dead." Sheamus states. "He was killed by another demon. That and hexed or possessed items are the only things that keep us well...dead" finn explains.

Drew lowers his head. "I know that. I've had to kill him before." Drew spits in anger as he grabs his gear and storms past the pair.

Finn sighs and rubs his neck. "The idiot." Finn sighs. "Who?" "Leon. He finally had someone who needed him. Someone who loved him for him. And he picked a fight with the fiend." Finn mutters moving towards Leon's scarf. "But why? Why would he? And why would the Fiend agree?" Sheamus asks. "It doesn't make sense to me either." Finn admits looking at his friend. "For the longest time, demons and angels alike feared the undertaker. The brothers of destruction, the devil's favourite demon. And then Leon was born. Leon grew up to be the king of hell. We are all afraid of him, hint why the fiend always avoided fighting him. Until that night. So what changed?" Finn murmurs.

"To save John. From the fiend that is." Sheamus suggests. "No. The fiend messed with John but he was never stupid enough to keep him under his spell for longer...." finn pauses. His eyes widen. "Leon allowed the fiend to put John under. The fiend released John as soon as Leon demanded it. So there's no reason for the fiend to kill him-" "unless Leon demanded it." Sheamus cuts in.

"But why?" Sheamus asks again. "I mean, was it to get punk into his hunting ground? Punk did say he'd never step foot here again as long as Leon lived." Sheamus adds. "Why not fake your death? Why actually die? I haven't felt him-" finn cuts himself off as the lights turn off.

Drew pauses as the lights flicker off. Something thick wraps around him. Thick and cold. The lights turn on and he looks to see nothing but water and steam.

Sheamus looks to see Finns eyes dark. "Finn?" Sheamus asks. Finn suddenly turns and walks out. Sheamus pauses as Randy suddenly follows. "What the.." sheamus follows them to see the group gathered in the hall.

Finn, Alexa, Randy and the Fiend. All current stars who are demons or have had some demonic presence in their life.

Fiend tilts his head as they stare down the hallway, the lights flickering along with the tv screens. The tv screens showing Damien and Punk talking in the ring. "Do you hear that?" Randy whispers.

"There's a man in the woods." The fiends glitchy voice chuckles. Sheamus eyes widen as he looks at the screen to see darkness fall over the ring.

Punk lowers his mic mid promo at the sudden darkness. "No" He whispers. "Its just a power cut. Give it a second." Damien huffs. "Thats not power cut." Punk steps back as the backup lights kick on to reveal the shadow on the stage.

"Give up" the voice booms. Damien head snaps towards the stage. "Give up your power." The voice adds.

Hunters eyes widen as the tv turns back on. "Someone get me taker. Now!" He yells.

"Leon-" punk gasps. "Or ill make a night so black, there'll be too much chaos to keep track" Leon threatens as he steps into the light.

He looks a sight. His right eye glows white, his left eye glows black. The left side of his hair is black. His skin pale, dark bags under his eyes, sunken cheeks. He looks dead. "Give up your belt." He growls. Damiens eyes widen as he tightens his hold in the belt. "Wait-" punk tries. "Give up your power." "Stop this, please." Punk pleads into his mic. Damien looks at him confused.

"Ill make darkness so profound, neither of your families will be found." Leon's voice is surprisingly soft. Calm. "No!" Punk protests.

"THEN GIVE UP!" Leon yells. "OH-GIVE UP YOUR POWER!" He yells causing the lights to flicker. "Dont mistake my threats for bluffs!" Leon snaps. "Your power trip was long enough." Leon snarls. "Give it up." Leon tells them both.

"Punk-" Damien tries. "He can't hurt us here." Punk whispers. "We cannot stay here forever." Damien hisses. "Nor can he."

The lights turn off and when they are on, Leon's gone and a bloody coffin takes his place. Two to be exact. "Man fuck this."

-----

"What the fuck." Sheamus gasps as Leon stands infront of him. Looking as healthy as the day he left. "Surprise" Leon smiles. "Are you fucking nuts?!" Hunter yells. Leon's smile fades at all the looks. He looks at Sheamus. "Not good?" Sheamus glances around before nodding. "A bit not good, yeah mate." Sheamus mutters. "Right. I..I guess I have some explaining to do." Leon mutters ringing his hands together. "A year. A year you were dead for." Taker growls as he walks in with the other Michaels. "Yes well...things happened. Things are still happening." Leon tries, his eyes scanning the room.

"He was showering whilst you were showing off. He's not doing too well, although I assume you already know that." Taker states. Leon hums. "Visits my grave. Cannot part with the scarf he gifted me on our first date. Smells too much like me. Reminds him of me more than anything-" "enough." Shawn snaps. Leon looks at his papa. "This isnt a game Leon. You were gone for a year and two months, a week and three days." Shawn states. Leon lowers his gaze. "My plan is all falling into place. I don't expect to be forgiven, but I hope you will all understand once it's over." Leon explains. "Why not come to me? Why not talk to us? Why target Punk and Damien" Taker asks.

"Yes. Do tell." A new voice snaps. Leon turns to his husband. "Ah my love. How I've miss-" gasps erupt as Drew slaps Leon. "Why?" Drew hisses. He grabs Leon by the collar and slams him against the wall. "Why!" Drew yells punching the man. "Drew!" Leon is thrown to the floor and he receives a few kicks before drews dragged back.

"Enough Drew!" Taker barks. "No..no its alright." Leon croaks, spitting blood to the ground. The only man to ever make Leon Michaels bleed. One of the reasons Leon fell for him. "I deserve it. I broke his heart." Leon whispers as he raises his bloody face. "You did." Drews voice is weak and watery as he stares at the younger. "You broke me." Leon's eyes fall shut as Drew pulls away and walks out to the ring.

Drew Mcintyre quits the WWE right there and than.

He then leaves, alone. Scarf left on the hook.

Shaky hands lift to touch the scarf. "Soon my love." Leon whispers. "Soon."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheamus stares in shock and awe as the Wyatt Sick6 wipe out most of backstage.

"Ill make a night so black, there will be too much chaos to be tracked." Sheamus mutters. "What?" Cassie asks. "Leon's threat. Or warning to Punk and Damien. Leon gets beat up, Drew quits and then people get attacked backstage and these lot appear." Sheamus states. "Why Damien and Punk? You don't think it's anger about what's happened to drew. Do you?" Cassie asks. "No. Damien is just collateral. Yes he happened to steal the belt from drew but Leon knows drew can easily handle Damien on his own." John hums from where he paces.

"What do you know?" Cassie asks watching her brother. Finn and Sheamus also look at him. John sighs. "Leon never died. When I was under Fiends control...they came up with a deal. A plan. The target is Punk. And for that to work, Leon needed to disappear. The only ones who knew was Leon, the fiend...and well me. Because they used my mind to communicate. The one true connection to Leon, my mind." John states.

"For those of you who don't know, John was cursed by the valley to be connected to Leon. He feels Leon's pain. Leon's emotions. Each person accepted by the valley gets a gift but inreturn has to have a curse. That's his." Cassie explains to you, the reader.

"Why Punk?" Alexa asks from the corner. "They have unfinished business." Sheamus mutters looking down. He was there. He remembers it clearly. "And hell finally froze over." John smirks.

------

Leon sighs in the run down bathroom as he cleans his face up. "Next time you use mind control, use it to lighten the blows." Taker calls from the doorway. "I needed it to be real. I used his fear and sadness to amplify his anger. I would of used papa if he was able to hurt me. I would of used sheamus. But Drew is the only man who's ever been able to harm me. It needed to be him." Leon explains dropping the rag. "You also needed him to quit. Which you knew he'd do once you released him and he saw what he had done to you, in what he'd believe to be a black out rage." Taker adds. "Mhm. Drews better nature was always. Well better than mine. He could never forgive himself for hurting me. Which is why he couldn't be included in the plan as he'd never fully perform. By controlling him myself, I could make sure he harmed me. I could also get him out of harms way without telling him." Leon states. "And what now? You will be watching him I assume?" "I've been watching him for...what was it? A year, two months, a week and three days." Leon smirks.

"Hes safe. He will be."

"And whats next? Your next move?" Taker asks.

"The plague has begun." Leon smirks as his eyes glow.

Soft humming echos through the building.

Causing Taker to also smirk.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew sits on the edge of the bed, staring at the black scarf in his hands. The scarf he left in the arena.

He looks out of the cottage windows. A nice little cottage Leon brought him in the woods for their anniversary a few years back. Isolated and a great space for them to escape.

It is now his hideaway.

And Leon, Leon knows that.

Drew can't help but chuckle as his hand clenches around the soft worn fabric.

"You Bastard."

We all know dear Drew-fus is the crazy cat dude. Maybe a little ditty about the entire family's reactions to him being a cat whisperer and how cats seem to just appear near him, like he's some sort of catnip in human form?

Catnip

Least creative name I know, but I want deon fluff and I aint feeling creative enough to make it. 😪

------------------------------------------------------------------

Leon was obviously the first to notice it. He's married to the man. Of course he noticed when cats who didn't even live in their neighbourhood started appearing in their house.

"Drew?" "Yes baby?" Drew hums from where he's making coffee. "Whos cat is in Luci's cat tree?" Leon questions from his spot at the kitchen island. Drew pauses. "What?" Drew turns to his husband. Leon just nods at cat tree. Drew glances to see a white cat staring back at him. "Aw shit. Not again" Drew huffs. Leon chuckles. "No wonder their all hiding" Drew looks to see there two German shepherd's and black cat hidden in the corner of the kitchen staring at the tree. "Ill sort it" Drew huffs. "Im sure the kids appreciate it" Leon smirks at the animals.

Drew leaves with the cat only for Leon to hear his name. "Yeah?" "Charlie's here!" Drew calls. "Fuck" Leon groans throwing his head back.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Cassie and rhea hold hands as they walk down the street. "We gonna stop for coffee?" Rhea asks. "I don't mind" drew hums. "Perfect! Need a coffee today" cassie smiles.

The trio pick up coffee before sitting outside to drink it.

This is when rhea and cassie find out drews weird...talent.

Cassie smiles as a cat wanders over. She watches as it avoids her and rhea and moves straight to drew, brushing against him and purring at him. Drew doesn't stop talking as he leans down and pets the cat. Cassie doesn't think much of it until other cats start approaching them and more importantly drew.

Rhea pauses. "What? What's wrong?" Drew asks confused. "Are you catnip or something? The fuck drew" cassie huffs. Drew looks down at the cats. "Ah" drew huffs. "And this isn't the first time" Rhea chuckles at his reaction. "Go on now, shoo, go" drew orders. Expecting the cats to stare at him stupid, the girls are shocked as the cats begin walking away.

"What the fuck?" "Howwwww????"

Drew looks at them. "I can't explain it. Trust me." Drew mutters. "Its kinda cool. You new nickname is catnip" "Oh my god yes! Changing your contact right away" the girls giggle as Drew groans. "Lets get back" he huffs. "Yes catnip"

------------------------------------------------------------------

John looks at the cat. "Howd it get in here?" He asks. "No idea" Randy huffs kneeling down. The cat hisses at him. "Ah fuck that" Randy mutters. "What is it?" Sheamus asks as him and drew approach. "A violent stray cat" Randy states. "Ah no such thing" drew smiles moving forward. "Ah drew I wouldn't" John warns as the man kneels. "Hey buddy" drew coos holding his hand out. The trio watch as the cat moves and brushes against drews hand, purring at him before trying to climb him. "What the fuck" Randy blurts out.

John watches as drew stands, holding the cat. "Lets say its a gift of mine" drew shrugs. "Your sister calls him catnip. I understand it now" sheamus tells John. "Catnip. Interesting." John mutters looking at the cat trying to snuggle against drew. "Ill take this lil guy out." Drew hums walking out. "You know, it probably followed him in here." Sheamus states. "Seriously?" Randy asks. "Yeah man, cats are just attracted to him. It's weird." Sheamus huffs.

"Yeah it is." John nods.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Taker yawns as he walks in the lockeroom. "Its cute." Finn states. "Whats cute?" Taker asks. "Leon and drews new cat" finn states. "Hes not ours. He's some random cat that followed me home. His name is snowflake and our animals hate him" drew explains. Taker pauses. "Animals often follow you home?" Taker asks. "Just cats." Drew shrugs. "Yeah? And your two cats are cool with that?" "Two cats?" Drew asks. "Yeah, luci and hunter right?" "Oh hunter ain't ours. He's just my most loyal follower. It's that bad we befriended his owners and look after him when they go away. They watch ours when we go away too" drew explains.

This grabs everyone's attention. "Hunter isn't yours????" Seth asks. "Nope. Someone got him first." Drew shrugs. "I thought he was" sheamus states. "I promise you we only have three animals. Two dogs, one cat. It's like Charlie." Drew tries. "Charlie?" "Charlie's is the kids childhood dog...that it scarily still alive and I'm quite frankly too scared to look into why. He just randomly disappears and I get phone calls from all three kids saying he's at theirs." Taker states. "Okay but drew attracts cats like catnip" sheamus states. "Can't explain that" Taker shrugs. "But you agree it's weird?" Seth asks. "It is. Very. Does Leon know?" Taker asks. "Yes. We only live together." Drew snarks. "Watch it catnip" Taker teases.

Why is his son-in-law a human catnip?

Weird. He'll speak to kane, see what he knows.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Shawn of course was the last to find out. But he also got a lot more insight because of it.

He smiles at the young couple as all three walk through the streets.

It's when he looks back and sees the cats following drew that he grows concerned. "Uh cats" Shawn asks. Drew stops and turns. "Stop following me." Drew orders. "Please." He adds. The cats just meow before walking away. "Where did they even come from? This city does not have a stray cat problem" Shawn asks. "Can't answer that one" Drew huffs. Shawn looks at him. "And they listened to you. Like didn't even hesitate" Shawn adds. "Yeah" Drew chuckles rubbing his neck. "I reckon it's the body heat he lets off" Leon hums, eyes locked on his phone.

Shawn looks at Leon who's practically pressed against drews side, like the cats. "Well, it would explain a lot." Shawn smirks. Drew can't help but laugh. Because yeah, drew was a magnet for cats. But his husband? His husband displayed the biggest amount of cat behaviour he's ever seen.

"This always been a thing?" Shawn asks. "What your son being a cat or cats just being attracted to me?" Drew asks. "Rather be a cat than a snake." Leon mutters. "The cats following ya" Shawn answers. "Hmm don't think so. But I'm not too sure if I've just not noticed until others have" drew admits. "Interesting" Shawn whispers. "Interesting?" Drew asks. "Hes thinking it could be valley related." Leon states pocketing his phone and taking drews hand. "Could it?" Drew asks. "Possible." Shawn admits. "Not the worse thing you could get. I'm telling you, you'd hate to be john" Leon smirks. "Well. Enough cat talk, we better get going" Shawn claps. The trio continue their walk.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew stares at the ceiling as Leon nuzzles closer to him. His husband truly was a cat. "I didnt think I radiated that much body heat" drew states. "You are definitely like a furnace, atleast to those of us who got the body head of a dead man" Leon murmurs sleepily against his chest. "The cat thing, it doesnt exactly feel like body heat is the answer. You don't...like, I don't know, rub catnip on my clothes do ya?" Drew asks. Leon can't help but chuckle. "God no but I'll remember that next time I see John. Maybe you need to accept you are human catnip and get back to cuddling me." Leon smiles. "God if only the wwe universe knew how much of a cuddler their skeleton King is" drew jokes as he wraps his arms around Leon. "Mmm, don't think they'd blame me with arms this big" Leon, nips drews bicep to emphasis his point. Drew frowns and taps Leon's hip. "Ypu gotta stop biting me man, I got no way to explain it. No one's believing the whole, Leon generally just bites as love language anymore." Drew huffs.

"Tell them I'm part cat"

------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes

Betting Luci slips catnip onto drews back pocket every day.

Also yes, pets. I've been making the kids and their partners fake insta pages which I'll show eventually and well it involves pets. Rhea and cassie have a tarantula (pete) and a snake (noodle). Drew and Leon have two German shepherd's (Hades and Bear) (ignoring Leon's childhood let bear) and one cat (luci). Randy and John have a dog (V) and also end up with Charlie a lot.

'Shawn stared at the two men in the ring. His heart shattered. Even more when Cole commented on how the pair reminded him of a story they've seen before. Because the truth is, they have seen it before. Two lovers who were against the world but now the world had turned them against each other. Shawns worries and fears were concerned when he looked to his husband and saw the look of deja vu on his face too. Maybe it was a curse to be a Michaels'

In other words I love these four the most because I basically write them the same. 😭

Like deon could literally be a alternative universe Hbtaker.

Enjoy :)

Because it makes me sad

How is that fair?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew jolts back as the bigger man storms towards him.

Taker grabs the younger man by the hair and pulls him close.

"You are not good enough for my son. He may not see you love, but I do. Stay away" Taker growls. Drew stares at him shocked as the ref separates them. "Off the hair!"

Taker knew.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Taker knew.

Taker knew times changed. They changed quick. Last time he saw Drew Mcintyre he was some scrawny kid with a crush on his boy.

Now he's some big oaf still nursing a crush.

"I want him." Taker mutters. Hunter looks to see taker staring Drew down across the canteen. "Mcintyre? Why? Vince already has plans for him." Hunter asks sitting back. "What plans?" Taker asks, keeping his eyes on the man. "Teaming him with Lee." Hunter answers. He watches the other man's jaw tighten. "Tell him to put him against me first." Taker growls. "Ill do my best." Hunter sighs pulling his phone out.

Drew keeps his eyes on his plate. "Well, either your match had a bad impact on him, or he's got the hots for you." Sheamus smirks. "Not funny. He knows." Drew whispers. "Knows?" "About Leon." "And what, Leon doesn't? Jesus I think I need to get that boy out more." Sheamus huffs. "No, you're not listening, he's known since I first stepped into the company and now I'm back, he knows it still a thing" drew snaps. "My advice? Don't fall in love with the undertakers son. Or befriend Shawn so that way you have immediate protection. That's what I did and I only wanted Leon friendship" sheamus suggests as he pinches a chip off Drew.

"He won't let me near his son, you really think he'll let me near his husband?" "Good shout" sheamus nods looking past drew. "Oop, here he comes." Sheamus whispers. "Fuck."

He flinches as a firm hand lands on his shoulder and squeezes too tight to be human. Drew closes his eyes as Taker leans down. "My threat still stands. You stay well away from Leon." Taker whispers. Drew just nods. "Attaboy." Taker hums pulling away. Drew opens his eyes as the man walks off and finally looks away from his plate. His eyes immediately land on Leon who's staring at him confused.

"Shit" drew mutters standing and rushing out. He cannot let Taker bully him. Not anymore.

-------

And somehow he ended up stood across from taker in the ring. Again.

"Just weaken him! Then tag me in!" Shane barks at him. Drew frowns and turns away, he keeps his head down. But that's when he hears taker chuckle.

Chuckle.

He moves forward, raising his head and getting into takers space. Taker stares him down. "Im not scared of you." Drew states. "You sure?" Taker asks. "And I'm worthy. I work hard and I care too damn much about him to let you try and scare me away. He's a grown up." "Hes my son" Taker growls stepping impossibly closer. "And I'd never hurt him. Unlike you" drew growls back.

The ref is quick to separate them. "Youll live to regret that Mcintyre" Taker snaps, ignoring Romans and Shane's concerned looks. "I don't reckon I will." Drew snaps back.

Sheamus smiles backstage. "The hell is mcintyre doing?" Sheamus turns to see Leon stood behind him. "Finding his balls." Sheamus smiles. "Why's my dad obsessed with him?" Leon questions. Sheamus pauses. What's he supposed to say to that?

He claps Leon on the shoulder. "Your guess is as good as mine bud" sheamus smiles. Leon frowns and moves closer to the screen.

What's the deal with these two?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Taker crosses his arms. "Put him with randy." "God no. He's teaming with drew and that's final." Vince snaps. Taker sighs and drops his arms. "Why? Why drew? Why Leon. Put him with dolph or something." "Because I reckon they'll get along a lot better than you think. What's the issue? It's not like I'm putting a baby face with a heel. In fact I reckon we use this to finally get a face Leon. Fans will love it." Vince explains. Taker goes to speak when he hears fussing outside. He turns to the door as Leon slams it open. "Why have you got us waiting outside like children?" Leon demands. Drew appears behind him looking sheepish. "Because I'm having a meeting?" Vince questions. Leon looks at taker.

"Why am I here?" Leon asks walking in. Vince sighs. "Come in drew." Drew slowly walks in. Stepping away from both men. "I want you to tag team with Drew." Vince states. "No." Leon immediately responds. Drew looks at Leon with hurt. "Told you." Taker smirks at vince. Leon looks at taker. "Exactly. Yeah, sure why not. Couldn't hurt. Just don't expect me to play nice." Leon shrugs. Taker looks at him shocked. "Thats the point. You don't play nice, I want people to believe this tag team won't work." Vince tells him. "Cool, see you Monday partner" Leon nods at drew before walking out.

Drew glances at vince. "Thank you sir" "Anytime." He looks at taker. "Guess I'll be spending a lot of time with him now." He smirks before walking out. Taker growls and slams the door shut.

Vince raises an eyebrow. This seems like a problem.

A Shawn problem.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Whats your problem with Drew?" Shawn asks. Taker looks up from taping his wrists to see his husband stood infront of him, arms crossed, head tilted. Shit.

"Whatever do you mean?" Taker asks. "Dont play stupid. Him and Leon have been tag partners for five months and you won't even look the man in the eyes or shake his hand after a big win. Do you know how unfair that is when you hug John and cassies partners?" Shawn asks. "Dont be silly.-" "Dont you even. What is the issue?" Shawn snaps pulling the tape out of takers hands. "Maybe I dont trust him. Maybe I think he should be nowhere near our boy." Taker snaps standing up. "Who gives you the right? You don't know that boy enough to judge him" Shawn whispers. "I trust my gut. My guts never been wrong" Taker snaps. Shawn scoffs and moves away.

"Your gut is the most ridiculous gut I've ever met. That's the same gut that trusted Paul." Shawn points out. "Now Paul? Paul hurt Leon. But drew? Drew cares about Leon and is willing to go to hell and back for him." Shawn defends the Scott. Taker shakes his head. "Hell didn't Paul do this exact thing to you when it came to me?" Shawn suddenly asks. Taker bites his lower lip. "That was different." "Yeah, was it now?" Shawn scoffs throwing him back the tape. "Grow up Undertaker."

Leon moves from the door and hides as his Papa walks out.

Huh, fancy that.

He smirks to himself as he pushes off the wall and makes his way out of the arena.

--------

Drew smirks as the shield talk amongst themselves. He listens as Leon takes his jacket off, he also watches as the Shield pauses and stares. "No fuckin way" roman huffs. Drew turns to Leon and his eyes widen. "Fuck"

Shawn smiles at the screen as Taker walks in. "What?" He asks. "Look at this" Shawn nods. "I think your attitude is having the opposite effect" he states. Takers eyes widen as he sees it. Its hard not to with the camera zooming in on it.

Drew written above his right collar bone.

Shawn watches as Taker subconsciously touches his name which sits upon takers neck. Shawn smiles softly as he looks back at the screen to see drew practically cornering Leon to look at it.

Yeah, he's the one for his boy.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew leans against the tiled wall, watching the freckled hand rub over the letters. He can't help but smile as it doesn't watch off or fade. "I can't believe you did that." Drew comments. Leon glances over at him. "It was our 5 months as a tag team. Had to do somethin" Leon smirks. "Nothing to do with your dad's blanted hatred of me?" Drew asks. "That too I guess." Leon shrugs looking back at the wall. Drew watches as Leon tilts his head back letting the water hit his face. "What do you know?" Drew asks moving closer. Leon lowers his head. "He doesn't think your good enough for me. My pa reckons we are just like them." Leon comments.

Drews face heats up slightly. "And you?" Drew asks quietly. "I don't do love. Can't be like them." Leon mutters. Drew frowns and steps back. "Dont do love ay?" Drew whispers.

Leon looks at drew to see his back to him. He turns back to the shower. "I.." Leon tries to find a response. They've been working together for months now and he cannot open up to him? Not that he opens up to anyone, but something in him, wants him to open up to drew.

"Im poison." Drew looks at Leon quickly. "I hurt anyone around me. I won't mean to and they won't do anything wrong but I...I just..I can't help but poison people." Leon whispers. That's when drew finally understands it. All of it. So many times people have called this man a monster. Not once have they told him differently. "Guess I'm immune." Leon looks at drew. "What?" "I must be immune. Because, I enjoy being your partner. Even when you say those hurtful things about me. I enjoy being your friend" drew shrugs. Leon's eyes widen. "Friend?" "Yeah. I hope you see us as friends." "....Yeah. Yeah I do." Leon nods. Drew smiles at him.

"Maybe your pa didn't mean it in the romance way you've seen it. Maybe he meant it like their friendship, their bond." Drew suggests. "Yeah. Maybe that's it" Leon whispers as drew begins washing his hair. "Maybe that's it." Leon mutters to himself, his fingers lingering over the name tattooed onto his body.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Leon is knelt in the ring, hands shaking as the crowds scream and cheer. The belt is lowered into his hands and he stares at it. "We did it!"

We did it.

It isn't Leon's first time holding these belts...but this? This is different.

As the hand rests on his shoulder, the knees touch his. He looks up to see drew knelt next to him, a massive smile on his face. "We did it!" Drew smiles squeezing his shoulder.

Leon doesn't know what comes over him. One minute their kneeling, the next he's throwing an arm around drew and hugging him, squeezing the back of the mans neck. Drew hesitates before hugging him back.

"Wow." John huffs watching his baby brother hug someone who's not family. "Hes really grown on him" Randy comments unscrewing his waterbottle. "Yeah, that's what worries me." John mutters. Randy looks at him as he drinks. "Why?" Randy asks confused as Taker and shawn walk in. John just looks at his parents. "Our baby has his first non family tag belt" Shawn smiles at John. "He does, and he's having a cuddle over it" John jokes. Shawns smile widens as he looks at the screen.

"Of course he is." Taker mutters. Shawn smacks his arm and frowns. Randy just glances at John.

It wasn't a secret taker hated drew. Randy never understood how taker could like him but hate drew. But he wasn't going go question it.

"Dont be a dick" Shawn scolds. "Difficult for him." Leon comments as him and drew walk in. "Congrats lee" "congrats both" the two different responses makes leons smile fade. "Thank you" drew smiles as John shakes his hand. Leon just stares at his father. "Say congrats to drew." The room falls quiet.

"Leon...don't." Drew murmurs. "No. He worked damn harder than me that match, say congrats to him." Leon pushes. Taker meets his sons stare before looking at drew. "Congrats on the win drew." "Thank you sir." Drew nods. "And look at that the world didn't end!" Shawn claps. "After cassies match we are taking you all out for food. Including you drew" Shawn smiles. Leon doesn't take his eyes off his father.

------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a wacky year.

Leon knew it was a bad idea stepping into Goldust bar.

"Ah! Lee Lee!" Goldust cheers pulling the youth into a hug. "You look stunning" goldust purs cupping the boys face. Leon chuckles. "Hello Goldie" "I invited some of your and cassies friends" goldust smiles. "To our parents anniversary party?" "My party my rules" goldust tuts. Leon's eyes spot him straight away. Sat at the bar with cassie laughing about something. "You invited drew?" Leon asks shocked. "Hes your friend no?" Goldust questions. "Dad hates him." "Wasn't my question, was it" goldust smirks.

Leon ignores goldust and moves over to the pair.

"I don't know Cas..." Drew signs. "Dont be a downer. It'll be a world full of fun. Not every day we have a pay per view and a smackdown in death Valley" cassie smirks. "Yeah, it's because they've just finished the stadium, now scram brat" Leon buts in. Cassie frowns. "Im tal-" "I didnt ask. Go" Leon orders pulling her up and pushing her away.

He sits in her seat and motions for a drink. "She made me come." Drew states. "I aint got a problem with you being here. Just rather I get the shit for it than her." Leon states accepting the drink. "Hey, he's with me alright?" Leon asks the bartender. "I should really ask gold-" Leon's eyes glow purple. "With me." "Alright man, shit." The bartender huffs putting money infront of Drew before walking off. "What?" Drew questions taking his money back. "Youll be treated like shit for the next few hours, might aswell make sure you don't go bankrupt too" Leon smirks before downing his drink and waving for another one. "Leave the bottle yeah?" "I forgot how much of an asshole you are" the bartender grunts before he slams the bottle down and walks off. "Mmm sure you did." Leon smirks as he watches him walk off.

"Takers gonna go mad" drew whispers. "Fuck him. Who cares? If he's stupid enough to let you ruin his anniversary thats on him. We are going to have a good time whether he does or doesnt" Leon tells him. "Ill never understand you Lee." "Good. I like to be a surprise." Leon smiles at him. Drew can't help but smile back as Leon raises his glass.

The men clink their glasses as the couple of the night turn up. Leon glances at his parents before back at drew. "Happy valentines drew." Leon hums. "Happy valentines Leon." Drew smiles softly. John suddenly rushes over and grabs Leon. "You didnt say Happy birthday to cassie?" John snaps. "Im sure the hell of a gift I left in her room makes up for it" Leon scoffs. "Thats why you were late?" "Yes that's why I was late. I didn't forget my baby sis birthday. I'm not that much of an animal" Leon rolls his eyes as he sips his drink.

"Well, your friends have been waiting for ya" John states. "Im busy." Leon mutters nodding his head towards drew. John looks at drew before back at Leon. "I tho-" "you got something else to do other than bothering me when I'm trying to drink?" Leon snaps looking at his brother. John chuckles and steps back. "My bad. Don't forget you've gotta lead the hoedown" John smirks before patting his back, hard, and walking off. Drew raises his eyebrow. "Thought you weren't a stereotypical cowboy?" Drew asks. "Oh don't. You'll be joining us" Leon smirks behind his glass. "What?" "I didnt bring two cowboy hats for nothin" Leon states putting his cup down. "You didnt." Two shadows form infront of Leon and fade to show two cowboy hats. One black the other a dark blue. "You did." Drew huffs. Leon places his on his head before grabbing the blue one and leaning forward. "Of course." Leon smirks placing it on drews head.

Leon leans back and looks at drew and can't help but smile. "Better say hi to the folk. I'll catch you in a minute." Leon hums before pushing away from the bar and walking off. "Hes a good kid." Drew jumps as Kevin takes Leon's seat. "I know" drew nods. Kevin glances at him. "Real loyal when you get past that tough guy bullshit." Kevin adds. "I can tell." Drew mutters looking at Leon with his family and friends. "He'd be real lucky to have you." This takes Drew by surprise. He looks at Kevin. "What? Don't you me-" "God no. He's a fucking asshole and you'd deserve better. You? You see through that, I don't know how but you do. You don't see him as a monster, you see him as a person. He'd be lucky to have you." Kevin states as the music starts. "Thank you?" "Just don't let it ruin you. Too many have fallen to the Michaels Curse. Including themselves." Kevin hums pulling Drew up.

Drew just looks at him. "Good luck." Kevin walks off leaving drew stood confused. "Cmon drew!" Leon calls. Drew looks at the other and finds himself drawn to him.

The Michaels Curse..

------------------------------------------------------------------

Drew could not give a flying fuck about the Michaels Curse.

Leon Thomas Michaels is and always will be hot.

Drew would gladly fall victim to him at any point in the next five seconds.

Drew knows he's staring, but he doesn't care. Leon's chest heaves as he throws the chair out of the ring, towards the men stood on the ramp. "Back the fuck off!" Leon yells. He turns too drew and kneels infront of him. "Are you good?" Leon asks cupping his face with bloody knuckles to examine him. "I uh...what?" Drew asks. Leon frowns and tilts his head as prods a bruise forming on drews temple. "I asked if you're okay?" Leon pushes. "Your shirtless." Leon michaels was never without a vest on infront of the cameras.

And boy was he beautiful. "Yeah..I was in the middle of getting changed when you got jumped." Leon nods as if it's obvious. That's when drews eyes fall down to see Leon's jeans not even done up. His belt hung around his waist and his button popped open. "Jesus" drew chokes. Leon chuckles and tilts his head up. "I reckon we need to get you too the medic. Get your head checked" Leon smirks. Leon stands and pulls drew up. Drew takes a moment to examine Leon's tattooed torso. He lean figure. His sharp, hard abs. The scars that litter his body. "Your so hot." Drew whispers. "Yeah yeah, I know cmon before you confess which diva you've got the hots for" Leon chuckles leading drew out the ring.

You.

Is what drew wanted to say.

But he decided to keep his mouth shut.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Leon was busy setting his makeup out when he felt the presence behind him.

He glances up and his brain stops working.

His eyes scan Drew massive back.

Whilst there's only a inch between the men in height, Leon never realised how fucking small he looked compared to drew until now. Drew is pure muscle. And Leon knows he's been working out to look bigger a lot more recently. Infact, Leon knows drew hates that he used to be small, so instead of focusing on defining his muscles, like Leon does, he's focusing on bulking up.

And Leon didn't release he was this big until now.

Drew turns to look at Leon in the mirror, leaving Leon staring at his chest.

Drew, compared to himself, was bigger, softer and hairy. Leon felt small. Jesus is this how his father felt compared to everyone.

Leon is sharp, stone like, skinny and just ugly compared to him.

He's never really appreciated drews beauty until now.

Jesus maybe he did need to get laid, it has been awhile.

"Leon!" Leon's eyes snap up to meet Drews concerned gaze. His face brings Leon guilt. The bruises and cuts from his own father getting drew jumped."Yeah?" Great he was caught staring at drew chest. "Are you okay? Zoned out on me for a moment" drew asks, voice full of worry. Leon can't help but chuckle. God, big, beautiful and dumb. Leon's sure got a type. "Yeah I'm good big guy, just thinking about things" Leon smiles.

Drew raises an eyebrow. Leon just called him big guy. The same Leon that cringed whenever his father used the term.

"You sure?" Drew asks. "Mhm" Leon nods collecting his face paint. "Well, I asked if you wanted anything to eat" drew repeats. "A milkshake will be good. Just need some sugar." Leon answers. "Alright. Be back soon" drew smiles pulling a tshirt on before leaving.

Leon presses his forehead against the mirror. He slaps the back of his own head. "You idiot" he scolds.

------------------------Meanwhile------------------------------

Shawn watches as Taker enters the ring. "I want you to look at the tron." Shawn tells him. Taker pauses and looks. It's Leon smiling. "Wanna know who did that?" Shawn asks. "Who?" "Drew." It continues to show drew turning towards Leon, his own little smile on his face. "Look at them." Shawn orders. A bunch of clips of the pair smiling and laughing together show before it's back to them. "That man brings our son happiness and you...you hurt him for that? How is that fair?" Shawn asks. Taker accepts a mic. "This isnt about fair. It's about what's right. What's right for our son." Taker states. Shawn scoffs. "You know what's stupid. I look at those two and you know what I see? I see us, I see us at their age. Running around, causing vince headaches, having fun, only enjoying each others company, feeling unstoppable. Like no one in the world gets us but each other." Shawn states. "And what I see when I stand here, with you, is Paul. That figure who doesn't want that happiness in a young man. That wants to destroy a growing relationship." Shawn snaps. Takers jaw tightens.

"Hating drew won't separate them. Infact, it'll make their bond stronger. He's your son taker. He will do anything to go against you. And along the way, he's formed a friendship. A friend he cares too much about to lose." Shawn tells him. "And what do you do? You go and hurt that boy! What is wrong with you!" Shawn yells. "I am doing what's best for-" Shawn scoffs and goes to turn away when Taker grabs his arm and pulls him in. Shawn levels his gaze with takers as Taker lowers his mic. "Im doing what's best for everyone." He growls. Shawn pulls out of his grasp. "More like what's best for you and only you." Shawn snaps before dropping his mic and climbing out of the ring.

Taker faces his husband and watches as he walks up the ramp. His head tilted and he's refusing to look back. Taker sighs and rubs his temple. Boy he's in trouble. Shawn always look back. This means shawns extremely pissed, especially if he's head tilted but still not looking.

"In other news, WWE tag team, The Scottish Warrior and The Skeleton King, consisting of superstars Drew Mcintyre and Leon Michaels have taken the Internet by storm lately after Mcintyre was attacked by Michaels father, The Undertaker" the reporter explains. "Fans and non wrestling fan have come together and started editing the pair and complying evidence that the stars could be in a relationship. They also bounded together to make edits explaining why both stars, separately, are attractive after they brush off comments about them being so." The reporter continues. "The pair have rised to the top in a short amount of time, making a new record for the Internet and the fandoms on it. They are literally everywhere. A photoshoot they did recently for their merch was even posted on timesquare without any input from wwe themselves." The reporter chuckles. "Vince Mcmahon has commented on the situation, let's take a look"

Vince looks at Michael Cole. "Whats your view on what's going on with mcintyre and Michaels?" "Im extremely happy that they've become so popular, I even more happy that they are bringing in non wrestling fans. I mean that's what we aim for right? They've come such a far way and grown so much together it's amazing to see how much they've improved. How much they've improved each other." Vince comments. "And the relationship rumours?" "I will officially say that as of right now, Drew and Leon are just good friends and are very comfortable with each other. No offical relationship has been reported or announced." Vince nods.

"Mcmahon made the rule of relationships being announced after the drama that went on between Michaels parents Undertaker and Shawn Michaels in the 90s. So as far as it goes. Deon is not official. Onto other sporting news-"

Leon tilts his head at the tv. "The fuck is a fandom?" Leon asks looking at cassie. "You know, your fans. The work they make about you." Cassie states as if it's obvious. "Right." "Yours call themselves the royal guards." "Thats a stupid fucking name." "Its because your the skeleton King?" Cassie points out. "Its still stupid. Why not call themselves knights or I don't know Warrior's? Why royal guards." Leon pulls a face. "Mine are warriors" drew hums. "Really? I'd called them Klits" Leon comments. "That is good!" Drew smiles. "Are you two not even slightly weirded out that people think you are dating?" Cassie asks. Then she looks at them, drews arm around Leon's waist, a bag of crisps in his hand that Leon is helping himself to whilst leaning against drew.

"You know what, I take back my question" cassie huffs. "Why would we care?" Leon asks. "People think pa dated half the kliq" Leon shrugs. "He slepted with them, not dated." John comments from where he's working in his script. "Are you two dating or fucking?" Cassie asks. Both men stay quiet. "No." Leon mutters. "Dont sound so disappointed" John chuckles. "Ill make sure your the first to know if we do tho" Leon smirks glancing at his big brother. "Fuck off. Not again. I will block your number." John gags. "Does this mean we are the top superstars?" Drew suddenly asks. John looks up. "Dude, you are the top stars in all of Hollywood right now. No pressure." John tells him.

"Fuck"

"Fuck" Shawn whispers turning the tv off. "Its not going to go down the same way." Hunter hums. "I don't want their friendship to get ruined because of some rumours." Shawn frowns. "It won't." Hunter promises. "Im worried how takers gonna react. I haven't seen him since raw." Shawn whispers. "This is the perfect time to push that vlog idea with them" vince speaks up. Both men look at him. "The fuck?" "Leon will not do it."

------------------------------------------------------------------

"We are currently backstage" sheamus smirks behind the camera. "Drews about to go fight and Leon's preparing to speak to his father" sheamus states zooming in on the pair. Leon crosses his arms, ignoring the man. "You don't have to do this." Leon states. "He wants a fight. I'll give him a fight. Just gotta get through tonight. If you two can't make it work, I will." Drew states. Leon frowns and shakes his head. "My...my dad isn't someone you want to goto war with." Leon whispers. "Its okay. You're worth it" drew states before leaving. Leon's eyes widen and his face heats up.

His eyes immediately land on sheamus. "Turn it off!" He barks as sheamus giggles like a little girl. "Dont be mean! You two are so cuteeee!" Sheamus coos before running from the other.

Drew shoulda known to keep his guard up. He snarls at seth when suddenly something hits him in the back.

He groans as he hits the matt. He glances to see seth nodding and rolling out of the ring.

He huffs and turns onto his back to see Taker stood, staring down at him, chair in hand. "Just couldn't do it, could ya?" Taker growls reaching down, grabbing drew by his hair, pulling him up. Drew groans weakly and grabs at takers hand, his other hand landing on takers waist area. "You just had to stay away" Taker snaps. "I love him" "you do not know love!" Taker barks at him. "Stop! Dad!" Drew hears Leon yell as the younger man runs down the ramp. "Your not hurting me." Drew snaps looking at taker. "Your hurting him. And that isn't fair." Taker stares at him, even as Leon pulls the chair off him and throws it out.

"Let him go!" Leon demands grabbing takers hand. Taker looks at Leon before letting go. Drew slouches as Leon pushes Taker away from drew. He stands between the two men. "Why? What has he ever done to you!" Leon yells. "I warned hi-" "Why! You don't warn cassies friends! You don't warn John's! Why drew! Why!" Leon snaps. "Because they don't love them!" "So what! So what if he loves me! What if I love him!" Leon yells. Drews eyes widen as he looks at Leon. "Whats it too you?! I'm a adult!" "You do not kno-" "the consequences?! I know the consequences of people loving me! It's the same for you! And yet look at you, happily fucking married with kids!" Leon barks shoving the man.

"How is that fair?"

"What?"

"Why do you get love but i do not? How is that fair?" Leon pushes. Shawn stands on the stage. He came out here to break it up, but right now, despite unable to hear them, it seems things are fixing themselves. Leon looks back at drew. Leon helps drew up and allows the man to lean against his back as he faces his father. "I don't need or want your approval. Hate him all you want, but you leave him alone. You take it out on me. Not him." Leon tells him. "Youll never lay a finger on him, ever again." Leon warns, pulling drew along, shoving the older man out of the way.

Shawn nods at Leon as they pass each other on the ramp.

Shawn stands on ring side.

"It wasn't going to end how you wanted it too." Shawn states softly. Taker looks down. "And right now, you can't even justify why you've done what you've done. And you know what? That's good. That's amazing, because that separates you from Paul." Shawn explains as he climbs into the ring. Taker glances at him. "Your not angry?" "I think our sons anger, but also your anger at yourself is more than enough. Disappointed? Yes. But I can see why you are so protective of Leon. He reminds you of yourself." "He reminds me of you." Taker corrects.

This stuns Shawn. "What?" "Yes, he's different like me. But he looks like you, he has your emotions. Your mindset. And I failed you, I didn't want to fail him" Taker whispers. Shawn takes his hand. "You didnt fail me and you will not fail him, as long as you accept drew. He clearly cares about him, pushing drew away, pushes Leon away." Shawn sighs. "They love each other." Taker mutters. Shawn smiles. "I know that. I've known since day one. As have you. But like you know, its up to them to discover that. Maybe you've helped them do that, maybe they'll thank you for this period of time one day, but right now? Right now they'll hate it." Shawn explains.

"I have to make it up to him." "Im sure you will"

---------------Oh boy this is getting long----------------------

"So you two accidentally confessed your love for each other but you've not actually talked about it or made any steps to make it official?" Sheamus asks. "No." Drew mutters stabbing his food. "And whys that?" Finn asks confused. "Its Leon. He...he doesn't do emotions." Drew huffs leaning back. "No. That is valid, I take back my question" finn chuckles.

The boys fall quiet as yelling grabs their attention. "The hell is that?" Sheamus asks as Seth walks in. "Bearer and Kane are back-" drew is straight up and running towards the hallway. "Drew? Drew!" Finn barks following him with sheamus.

"You don't fuckin scare me!" Leon barks. "Thats why your hands are shaking?" Paul asks. Leon clenches his shaking hands. Panic building in his chest, taking over him like a disease. He brings his hands up to his chest. That's when his view of Paul is blocked. "I think you need to get leaving." Leon looks up to see the back of drew. "And you are the Michaels new play thing, huh?" Paul asks. "I won't tell you again." "Is that right?" Paul hums. "Back the fuck up." Drew growls. "Or what?" Paul asks. "I aint scared of you or your dog. You need to stay the hell away from Leon or I'll fucking kill you" drew threatens. Leon's eyes widen. "You heard the man." His dad's voice calls. "Taker! My boy, I'm so proud of you"

The sentence makes taker feel sick. "And that's exactly why I'm so ashamed of myself. I never want to be like you, or for you to be proud of me." Taker hisses. "What?" "Because that would not be fair for those who love me." Taker hums moving to stand next to drew. "Now, drew advised you to get to stepping. I'm telling you to get stepping, or I will make you." Taker growls. "I need to meet with vince anyways. I'll be seeing you." Paul mutters before walking away.

Taker turns to drew. "I apologise for my behaviour." Taker states. "I don't expect you to forgive me. But I appreciate you Standing up for Leon. I'm glad he has someone who cares so much about him." "Ill always have his back sir." Drew nods. "And I do forgive you. I understand why you did it." Drew adds. "Yeah?" Taker asks. "Hes your son. And he's a lot like Mr michaels." Drew shrugs. Leon glances at drew. "Fresh beginnings huh?" Drew asks holding his hand out. Taker chuckles and shakes his hand. "Fresh beginnings kid. Now, how about you two go out for lunch yeah?" Taker smirks. "What?" Leon blurts out.

"Shit Leon, keep up, go out together, alone. I'll buy you time, gives me time to sort Paul out" Taker huffs. Leon looks at drew. "It'll be fun. Cmon" drew smiles holding his hand out. Leon looks down at his hand.

"Ah fuck it, I'm always down for some fun" Leon smirks accepting the hand.

Taker watches as they walk away. "Mmm, remind you of something?" Shawn smirks. Taker turns to look at his husband. "You really need a bell" Taker huffs. "But yes. Yes it does" Taker smiles taking shawns hand.

We send our congratulations to the married champs."

---------Notes--------

This got so long I forgot what I was doing.

But give me credit, I started this yesterday night and finished it the exact time I started it yesterday. Been working on it on and off since.

I wanted to do something based off the gifs but went completely rogue.

Shock

Anyways I love writing deon, I adore them, so honestly I'm not angry.
