Chapter Text
You fucked up
It was the simple truth of it all. No mincing words, no excuses, no what ifs". It was just that, you fucked up.
But you are human so you ran through your excuses already.
Why did you kiss your neighbor while he was asleep?
Blame it on somnophilia? You didn"t have that particular fetish but Braum didn"t know that. Though blaming it on a non-existence fetish you have seemed rude, what about all the other somnophiliacs? Braum would live all his life with a bad experience of somnophilia. They would be bearing your crimes, your sins and they wouldn"t even know why.
Maybe turn it into a compliment? You were too irresistible.. oh no. Not going down that road.
Tell him you don"t have health insurance. Maybe that will reduce any anger Braum will undoubtedly have at being sexually assaulted and only result in a bruise or two. Except Braum would never hurt you or anyone for that matter, so instead Braum will probably be concerned about your health insurance and try to set you up with one.
Really it was stupid to engage in something like that with an unconscious wrestler, Braum could have decked you in the jaw from the surprize of it, then another from disgu- give me a second,
…
Ok still no angst tag.
Well to summarize, he deserves the truth.
"I like you," you started, "and I thought that if I kissed you that I could.. I don"t know move on maybe?" except that just sounded stupid even to you, "But that"s not really the truth I was just being selfish"
"Yes, you were being Selfish." Braum"s words just confirmed the heavyweight in your stomach.
"For not allowing Braum to also kiss back"
"I"m sor-" You stopped yourself. Which was probably the reason for what happened next. It was hard to kiss someone while they were talking after all.
And it was so much better the second time. Either it was because now there were no guilty inhibitions stopping you from enjoying it, maybe it was because Braum was the one who started it, or it was how Braum"s mustache was soft on your upper lip and it tickled at your nose positively. Maybe all of the above... It was defiantly because of the latter part.
"Last Braum checked," he said after the kiss was over, "a kiss should be shared between both people in love"
[BONUS SCENE]
"El Tigre managed to win yet another round folks! Let"s watch the replay"
At the announcer"s words a slow down of what just transpired started to broadcast.
The scene showed El Tige being successfully restrained in a hold and his opponent shouting out his move right before starting to German suplex El Tigre. The famous technique was a crowd favorite finisher and has never resulted in a second-round, or unsuccessful count down. So even with the match results known to you, it still made you gasp at Braum"s Situation.
But then Braum planted his hands on the ground before it could meet his head. Not letting the momentum go to waste, Braum wound his legs around his opponent"s torse and used all this strength in his legs to throw him off. Finishing the fight with the El Tigre in an impressive handstand and his opponents sprawled in front of him, unmoving and now declared K.O.
"El Tigre, has shown us another rawr of tenacity but the question is where did this tremendous increase in strength in his lower half come from? Has El Tigre hired a new trainer?"
Then the show cut away to sponsors and credit. Though you think they did, except you were too busy replaying the announcer"s words over and over in your head.
"tremendous increase in increase in strength in his lower half"
"a new trainer?"
The announcer was close about something new in El Tigre"s life. Just that it"s actually a new partner.
