Wonderwall
Johnny Curtis stared at the liquid forming a ring around his beer bottle as he tried to keep his restlessness at bay. It was early in the morning and he was at some bar with the rest of the Smackdown roster. Everyone else was either playing each other in games of pool or making small bets with each other as to who will win while the others cheered or watched eagerly.
He didn't know whether to finish his beer, look for someone to spend the night with or just head back to the hotel and go to sleep. The truth was that all of those alternatives were nothing more than barely cheap distractions for what or more accurately, who, he really wanted.
His blue eyes honed in on what he wanted across the bar a lot quicker than he would like to admit. There he was with his silky blonde hair pulled pack in a ponytail laughing as he talked smack to his best friend Xavier Woods who was lining up his cue stick to take a shot at the table. Tyler Breeze. His tag team partner for the past couple of months and his current bane of existence.
Not that he hated Tyler in any form. As luck would have it they actually got along quite well since being paired together and he enjoyed bouncing ideas for the team with the younger man. Unlike his on screen persona, Tyler was actually a down to earth, easy going guy who also happened to be extremely easy on the eyes. And that was the problem. For Johnny at least.
He did not know when or how it happened but he found his eyes to be wandering over Tyler's form as of late. He never had such proclivities before but he couldn't seem to help himself when it came to Tyler. Yes he could acknowledge that his " Prince Pretty" moniker was a perfect for him but he could also admit that he worked with many attractive men and yet they didn't have the effect on him that Tyler did. It was frustrating him that he could not figure out what the deal was with Tyler. He took a sip of his beer and grimaced. Warm beer was terrible. Option two was looking like the best bet. Doing a couple quick glances around the bar dashed any hope of that happening. He firmly believed in not messing with any of his female coworkers because that never ended well for anyone and no other woman in the bar interested him. He raised his hand and signaled the waitress for his check. He had enough of this night.
His hotel room was dark with a faint blue filter of light from a street lamp pooling itself around his bedside table. It was just how he liked it.
It was after one as he kicked off his jeans and his thumbs hooked into the waistband of his boxer briefs. He usually preferred to sleep nude but he hesitated as he started to pull down the underwear. Something told him to keep them on tonight. At least they were comfortable he mused as he lifted up the white comforter on the bed and climbed in between the sheets. Maybe with some sleep he could relieve himself of his thoughts of Tyler. That sounded like a great idea he thought as he closed his eyes.
Johnny was startled awake by a heavy pounding at his door. He scrambled out of the hotel bed, stumbling to free himself as the blanket twisted around his ankle.
" I'm coming!" He yelled out as he yanked the blanket off his ankle.
He rubbed his eyes as he made his way through the dark room. He had no idea how long he had been asleep. Who ever was knocking at his door was quickly irritating him with the incessant banging. " I said that I was coming."
Johnny opened the door more roughly than he wanted to but his irritation vanished the instant he saw who was the culprit.
" Dango!" Tyler beamed at him. He had no respect for his ring name and Johnny didn't care. " I'm glad that you're still up."
" Why? What's going on?"
" Xavier was telling me about a lunar eclipse that's going on tonight and I was wondering if your room has a balcony." By this time Tyler had walked in past his confused tag team partner and was making his way towards the door at the other end of the room.
Johnny closed the front door and followed behind Tyler who had managed to open balcony door by then. The sharp autumn night wind swept inside the room and he flinched from the unexpected coldness.
He was looking around his room for his shirt when Tyler called out his name excitedly. " I can see it! Come look."
The balcony was so tiny that it could barely accommodate two persons. Tyler was leaning far back against the wrought iron railing looking up into the night sky.
" Breezy, are you sure that railing is safe?" He would hate to see it give away and take Tyler with it.
" It's fine Dango." Tyler easily dismissed his concern. He pointed up at the sky. " Do you see it? It's starting to go. It looks like a crescent moon right now."
Johnny looked up. All he could see was darkness over the hotel roof. " I can't see anything," he admitted.
Tyler tugged on his hand. " Come where I am." He stepped away from the railing so that Johnny could slide into his spot.
The railing was a cold piece of metal digging into his back as the wind whipped around them. Johnny hoped that he didn't catch a cold by being out here in nothing more than just underwear.
" I still can't see anything."
" You have to lean back."
He suddenly felt the weight of Tyler against him as he was pressed harder against the railing. In his mind he prayed that it didn't give away.
" Do you see it now?"
And there it was. A glowing ring of light with a crescent moon peaking from beneath a dark circle. " Yeah." His voice sounding huskier than usual.
" I wished I had my phone so that I could take a pic," Tyler mused. He seemed to have settled quite comfortably against him, apparently not minding the almost nakedness.
Johnny timidly placed his hand on Tyler's hip as if he was trying to steady himself but he wasn't. He just felt the need to touch him in some form.
They stayed like that for a while in a comfortable silence while Johnny was trying to figure out what this all meant.
Eventually Johnny pushed away from the railing. " Let's get back inside. I have to be at the airport today by 9 a.m."
Tyler laughed softly. " I know. I have to be on the same flight as well."
" Come on," he tapped Tyler on hip. " Inside. I don't want to explain that I got the flu by being outside freezing my balls off."
Tyler glanced down as they stepped back inside the hotel room. " But your balls are covered."
" Hey," he playfully swatted Tyler on the butt. " Eyes up here."
Tyler was a good four inches shorter than Johnny and when he looked up at him with that mischievous smirk on those full lips, he felt something inside him shift or rather click into place. Attraction. That's all it had been all along. Now that he knew what it was, the question became what to do about it.
He playfully tugged on Tyler's ponytail. " You're nothing but trouble."
Tyler just smiled but said nothing.
" So … uh..." Johnny didn't know exactly what else to say but it was getting awkward quickly for him after acknowledging his attraction and object of said attraction was standing so close to him.
" Yeah I better get going," Tyler spoke up.
" Yeah, yeah." Johnny agreed as he walked him to the door. He didn't know why he did. It was literally a few footsteps away.
Tyler opened the door and stepped out on to the hallway. " Thanks for letting me use your balcony. Appreciate it."
Johnny pushed his disheveled dark hair off his face. " No problem. Anytime." He leaned against the doorframe and watched Tyler's facial expressions carefully as it seemed as if he was contemplating something. But whatever it was, was probably deemed unimportant as Tyler gave him a short wave and strolled easily down the lit corridor.
Author's Note: Ah yes, the Breezango fanfic that I've been meaning to write for the longest time. I think that this would make a nice little one shot or do you guys want more? Leave a review to let me know.
