You woke up the next morning to find Roman gone. That didn't surprise you though, he was probably working out a bit before his match tonight. You got changed and decided to head down to the gym as well. Even though you didn't have a match tonight, it was still important to stay fit.
When you got to the gym, you were surprised that you didn't find Roman there, but you didn't think too much about it. You worked out for about an hour before deciding to stop, taking a shower at the gym.
When you got out of the shower, you changed into the clothes you were going to wear to the show tonight. You walked out of the gym and decided to get some food before heading back to the hotel, unsure of what else to do.
You had just gotten back into the hotel room when you got a text message from Charlotte telling you the name of the bar you were supposed to meet up at with them. You typed a quick response and then sat down in the middle of the bed.
You turned on the TV and decided to watch whatever was playing on the channel for about half an hour when the door to the hotel room opened and Dean, Seth, and Roman walked in. "Hey," you greeted them with a smile. "Good morning," Dean replied, plopping down next to you on the bed. "You look tired," you told Dean. "Yeah, Roman has been making us train all morning," Seth added, sitting down on the other side of you and collapsing on the pillows.
You chuckled at them before looking at Roman and telling him, "I think you're killing them." "They're fine. I'm just trying to make sure we win our match tonight," he defended with a small smirk. "Well, they have to be able to walk if you want them to win," you teased.
"Are you coming to the show tonight?" Dean asked you, not moving from his position on the bed. "Yeah, I wouldn't miss it," you replied with a smile. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, making the four of you look at each other confused as to who was knocking since all of you were in the room.
Roman moved to open the door and when he did there was a pretty blonde woman standing there. "Hey, Roman, is Dean here?" she asked, causing Dean to lift only his head up. "Yeah, come on in," Roman replied, letting her in.
When she walked in she was surprised to see everyone there and even more surprised to see Dean practically dead on the bed. "Are you okay?" she asked him with a small smile. Dean only responded with a groan. "Don't worry, he's fine, he just apparently completed Roman's pre-show boot camp," you told her, pushing past Seth to get off the bed and introduce yourself to the woman.
"Hey, I'm Y/N," you told her, finally managing to get off the bed. You offered her your hand and she gladly shook it, replying, "Renee, I'm Dean's wife." Your eyes lit up in realization at who she was and you got a large smile on your face. "Oh, I've been wanting to meet you. After all, someone who puts up with Dean all the time has to be someone special," you joked.
Dean lifted his head for a moment just to send a glare at you, making you, Renee, and Roman chuckle. "Yeah, well, you're doing something even more impressive. You have to spend time with all three of them," she stated, joining in on the teasing.
This time she earned a playful glare from all three men, making you laugh. "Anyway, Dean, I just wanted to let you know that I'm heading down to the arena. They wanted all of the announcers to show up a little bit early and I wanted to wish you good luck before I left," she said. Dean finally got up and moved over to his wife, giving her a kiss and hug. "Thank you, I'll see you at the show."
She smiled at him before leaving. You looked at Dean when she left and told him, "You guys are cute together." Dean just smiled in response but you could see the faintest hint of a blush on his cheeks. Just as you were about to say something else, there was another knock on the door.
"I guess we're popular today," you told the boys as you moved to open the door. When you opened the door, Charlotte was there and she smiled when she saw you. "Oh, hey," you greeted her. "Hey, sorry to bother you, but I need your opinion on what to wear tonight when we go out. Do you mind?" she asked. You were a bit surprised, but replied, "Sure, that's fine, I don't mind."
"Great, come on," she told you, beginning to drag you out of the room much to Roman's dismay. He was hoping to spend some time with you before the show. You shot him an apologetic look before telling the boys, "I'll see you later."
With that, the door shut to the hotel room and you were following Charlotte to her hotel room. When Charlotte opened the door to her room, Natalya and Becky, Seth's girlfriend, were in there waiting. "Hey, Y/N, right?" Becky greeted you. "Yeah, how are you doing Becky?" you asked. "I'm good, how's it been with the three boys?" she questioned. "They're a bit of a handful, but we've been having a lot of fun," you replied.
Charlotte disappeared into the bathroom for a moment and then came out with a couple of different outfits in her hands. "Which one for tonight?" she asked. You looked at both of the options and the consensus was pretty unanimous on what she should wear so she changed into the outfit while you, Becky, and Natalya made small talk with each other.
When Charlotte came out of the bathroom, you smiled at her and told her, "You look great!" "Thanks," she replied before continuing to ask, "What are you going to wear tonight?" You felt a little embarrassed as you admitted that you were already wearing your outfit for the night.
"Really? No, I have the perfect outfit for you," she told you as she began rummaging through her clothes in her suitcase. "Dang it, I think I left it in my locker room. That's okay though, you're going to the show, right?" Charlotte questioned. "Yes, I promised I would watch the Shield's match," you replied.
"Perfect, well it's about time we start heading over there anyway. You can change over there," she told you. You nodded your head in response as you and the other three girls made your way to the arena the show was being held in.
When you got there, your first thought was to wish your boys good luck on their match. So, you told Charlotte and the girls that you would meet them at her locker room and then began making your way through the building. You found them a few minutes later in the gorilla, all dressed in their Shield gear, warming up for their match.
"Hey guys, I wanted to wish you good luck before your match!" you told them as you approached them. Roman was the first to smile at you as he told you, "Thanks, I think we'll do a lot better knowing you're watching." You smiled at his remark when a WWE worker approached the four of you and told them it was time for them to move to their entrance spot.
"You got this," you told them with a comforting smile to which they all responded with a smile of their own. "I'll see you after the show," Roman told you before the three men walked off. A couple of minutes after they left, you heard someone yell from across the room, "Hey Y/N!"
You turned to see who said that and saw Jey and Jimmy Uso approaching you. "Oh, hey guys, did you already have your match?" you asked them. "No, ours is after Roman's," they told you. "Oh, well good luck then," you told them. "Thanks, listen, we just wanted to say thank you for what you're doing for Roman," Jimmy stated.
"What do you mean?" you asked, a bit confused. "Roman's kind of been stuck, like he didn't have much to look forward to. He loves his job and he loves working with Dean and Seth but he always seemed like he was missing something. With you around, he seems happy," Jey explained.
You felt your heart skip a beat at their words, but you shook your head 'no'. "I appreciate the kind words, but I really didn't play any part in it. Roman and I are just friends," you stated. Jey and Jimmy both seemed to get a bit of a smirk on their faces at your words before Jimmy told you, "Whatever you say."
You weren't sure how to respond to that so you said, "Well, I have to meet up with Charlotte, but I'll see you guys later." They both said goodbye to you and you made your way to Charlotte's locker room, still thinking about what they had said.
When you finally got to the locker room, you were happy that everyone was still there. Charlotte smiled at you and said, "Hey, here's the outfit, you might want to change quickly though, the Shield's match is about to start." You thanked her and took the outfit, quickly changing into it.
There was a T.V. in her room that let you watch the show and Charlotte offered to do your hair while you watched the match which you were thankful for. You watched nervously as they exchanged blows with Drew and Dolph. About halfway through the match, Charlotte said, "Okay, I've got to ask, what's going on between you and Roman?"
Why was everyone asking you about Roman today? "We're just friends," you answered, earning a scoff from Becky. "What?" you asked innocently. "Nothing, it's just that's not what I hear from Seth," she replied.
"What do you mean? What did Seth tell you?" you asked her. "That you guys are practically a couple," she responded. "Well, he's wrong. Look, Roman and I met before I came to WWE, we had a one-night stand and that was it," you explained. "Come on, Y/N, everyone sees the way you two look at each other, there's something there," Natalya said, joining in on the conversation.
You took a deep breath, unsure how much you wanted to tell them, but it was nice to finally have people to talk to about the situation instead of keeping it all inside of you. "Okay, fine, yes I have feelings for Roman, but it doesn't matter, because I'm not going to act on them. Roman is a great guy, but I just got my dream job and I can't jeopardize that by getting myself involved in a relationship with Roman," you admitted.
"Y/N, trust me, we all understand where you're coming from. We've all worked hard to get to where we are now in our careers and we're all in relationships with men in WWE. It's not easy and sometimes it requires a lot of work, but if you feel a connection there, you should go for it. Do what makes you happy instead of letting the fear of what could happen control you," Becky told you.
You stayed silent for a moment, really processing Becky's words. Maybe she was right. "Nice pep talk," Charlotte told her, making you laugh as you returned your attention to the match right as Roman pinned Dolph for the victory. You internally celebrated the win as Charlotte finished your hair.
You put on some make-up in the mirror and then looked at yourself. You looked great. "Thanks for your help, guys, I'm going to try and catch the guys and see if they're going before we head to the bar, if you don't mind," you told them.
None of them had any problems with that so you left the locker room to find Roman, Dean, and Seth. You reached the gorilla and looked for them but only saw Jey there by himself. "Hey, have you seen Roman?" you asked him. "Oh, yeah, he told me to tell you that he was sorry but he had plans tonight and that he would see you at the hotel later," Jey replied.
"Oh, okay, thank you," you told him before walking away. You were a little disappointed that they weren't going to be joining you tonight but you didn't want to let it ruin your night. So, you left with your friends to the bar and met up with the other wrestlers there.
You had a great time really getting to know everyone. A.J. and Daniel had some great stories. Finn was also there and he did a great job of making sure everyone was having a great time. You had really begun to bond with everyone, especially Charlotte, Becky, and Natalya and you wished that you got a chance to see them more.
_______________
Meanwhile, while you were out at the bar, Dean and Seth had decided that Roman needed a guys' night and invited Jey and Jimmy as well. They needed to help Roman solve his latest problem - you. They could see how far he had fallen for you but knew he needed some extra motivation to make a move.
They understood and respected Roman for not wanting to make you uncomfortable, but also felt like you needed to know how he felt. So, Dean asked Jey and Jimmy to come and try to talk some sense into their cousin, and that's exactly what they spent the rest of the night trying to do. At the end of it all, they managed to convince Roman to tell you how he felt, Roman just needed some time to figure out he was going to do it.
_______________
A couple of hours later, you decided to head back to the hotel room. You entered the room and were surprised to see Roman sitting in bed with his shirt off, watching T.V. His jaw dropped slightly when he saw you, taking in your appearance. "Hey, you look...amazing. How was it?" he asked.
"It was a lot of fun, getting to know the other wrestlers is really making me feel like I belong here," you told Roman, taking off your shoes. "What did you do tonight?" you questioned. Roman just shrugged his shoulders a bit before replying, "I just hung out with my cousins and Dean and Seth."
"Sounds like fun, your cousins are really nice," you told him. "Yeah, they like you too," Roman told you with a smile. You thought about what Becky had said and decided you wanted to give Roman a chance if that's what he wanted. But, you weren't sure how to tell him.
You and Roman were just sitting there in silence for a few moments before you chickened out of saying anything and decided to get ready for bed. You entered the bathroom and cursed yourself for not being brave enough, but you told yourself that if you were meant to be, then the time would come when it would be easy for you to admit your feelings for him. With that hope in your mind, you exited the bathroom and laid down next to Roman saying goodnight before you both fell asleep.
