Chapter 5: Crazy Love
Indianapolis, Indiana
Jon had made his way back to the locker room after his match with Darby Allen.
"Hey Mox, we're all going for drinks after if you want to come." Matt Jackson told him as he walked passed him.
"Thanks, man." Jon said.
After Matt left, it was just Jon and Kenny in the locker room. Jon glanced over as Kenny let out a sigh.
"Everything okay?" Jon asked as he dumped a bottle of water on himself.
"Yeah, it's all good." Kenny assured him.
Jon now opened another bottle of water and took a sip. He hesitated for a moment before speaking up again.
"Hey, can I uh.. Can I ask you something?" Jon said as he looked around.
"Sure." Kenny said.
Jon walked over and sat down on the bench across from Kenny.
"You and Ibushi.. what's the deal there?" Jon asked quietly.
Kenny looked up at him curiously for a moment.
"Are you trying to ask me out?" Kenny asked.
"What? No, of course not." JOn snapped back.
"Because if I'm being honest I did pick up a bit of a gay vibe when we first met." Kenny told him.
Jon stared at him for a moment, partly in confusion and partly in humiliation.
"The fuck is a gay vibe?" Jon asked.
Kenny let out a small laugh to himself.
"Kota and I had a thing if that is what you're asking." Kenny said.
"What happened? I mean I'm assuming it didn't work out since he was with that other dude when I was in Japan." Jon told him.
Kenny froze for a moment.
"He wasn't going to leave New Japan.. not even for me. We just wanted different things, I guess." Kenny said unfortunately.
"So it didn't work out because he won't leave Japan or because you signed with AEW?" Jon asked.
"Does it matter?" Kenny asked.
"Do you think things would have worked out if you'd stayed in Japan?" Jon asked.
"You know I think this is the most I've ever heard you talk, Mox. What's all of this about?" Kenny asked.
"I'm just curious, that's all." Jon said.
Kenny watched Jon for a moment, recognizing the look in his eyes.
"Despite whatever happened between Kota and I.. Love is always worth fighting for." Kenny said before getting up and walking off.
A little over an hour later, Jon arrived back at his hotel. He made his way up to his room and slipped in his key card. As he walked inside, he saw Seth sitting in the chair in the corner of the room. He was wearing a black t-shirt and black sweatpants with his hair back in a bun. Jon let out a half smile as his eyes softened.
"You're fucking crazy for coming here, you know that?" Jon asked.
"I came in wearing a ball cap and sunglasses. Not to mention the fact that I had to pay the lady at the front desk a hundred bucks to pretend she didn't see me." Seth told him.
Jon laughed to himself and put his bags down. Seth admired his black Mox hoodie as he sat down on the bed.
"I caught your match on the ride from the airport." Seth said.
"Yeah?" Jon asked.
"Darby Allen seems like a crazy mother fucker." Seth said.
"Yeah, he's cool." Jon said.
"You're head okay? I saw that nasty bump-." Seth began to say with concern.
"Dude, chill the fuck out. You're not my wife, I don't need you worrying about me." Jon snapped at him.
Seth stared a whole through Jon, letting him know his feelings were hurt.
"No, unfortunately I'm not." Seth said as he looked down shamefully.
Jon saw Seth's pouting face and suddenly felt like shit.
"You know I didn't mean that. Get over here." Jon told him.
Seth got up and sat down next to Jon in the bed.
"What the hell are we doing here?" Jon asked as he stared at the ground.
"I should have never told you to marry her." Seth said.
"I'm a grown ass man, okay? You didn't make me marry her, I did that shit in my own." Jon said.
"I know but when you came to me I could of stopped you." Seth said.
"But instead you said you were done with me. Then you show up with what's her name." Jon said.
"Sarah, her name was Sarah." Seth told him.
Jon shook his head for a moment.
"How did this all get so fucked up?" Jon asked.
"We've been doing this back and forth thing for like ten years now, man. Nothing that lasts this long isn't complicated." Seth told him.
Jon took a deep breath.
"What are our options?" Jon asked.
"What do you mean?" Seth asked.
"I mean if we really want to do this.. like the right way. What are our options?" Jon asked.
Seth looked over at Jon and let out a dorky smile.
"You really want to do this?" Seth asked.
"Hey, I never said that. I'm just asking what our options are." JOn assured him.
"Oh.. right." Seth laughed to himself.
"Come on, you've got the brains here." Jon told him.
Seth took a deep breath and thought to himself for a moment.
"Well for starters, you'd have to get a divorce." Seth began to said.
Jon suddenly got an unsettling feeling in his stomach.
"I'd have to break things off with Rebecca." Seth said with an ache in his heart.
"That sounds like a lot of damn drama.. especially for you, backstage." Jon said.
"I guess I'd have to come out.. you know, like publicly." Seth said.
Jon looked over at Seth with concern.
"Maybe I could go on a few dates with guys-." Seth began to say.
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Why do you need to date other guys?" JOn asked.
Seth glanced over at him and let out a smile.
"I see you still get jealous easily." Seth said.
"Well it's one thing when you're hoeing around with chicks but with dudes.. no, that's not happening." Jon told him.
"Did you just call me a hoe?" Seth asked in amusement.
"Of course I did." Jon said with a straight face.
Seth now let out a big laugh at Jon's comment.
"Look I'm not actually going to fuck any guys. I'd just go out to dinner with a few of them while your divorce is getting finalized. That way no one thinks you and I are you know.. Having an affair or whatever." Seth said.
"Well we are aren't we?" Jon asked.
"Yeah, but we're not gonna tell everyone that for god sakes." Seth said.
"Right." Jon said.
"Once everything with you and Renee is settled then we can start hanging out in public. That way people gradually start seeing us together." Seth told him.
"Then what?" Jon asked.
"We go public and say we're dating. We make it clear that nothing happened when we were were in WWE together. We say that we've always been good friends and it just kind of happened." Seth told him.
Jon thought over what Seth was saying for a moment.
"This sounds impossible." Jon told him.
"It's not going to be easy but if you want to do it-." Seth began to say.
"I'm not coming back to WWE." Jon told him.
"Okay.." Seth said in confusion.
"I don't want wanna go through all this shit to be together if we aren't even going to see each other." Jon said.
"What are you talking about?" Seth asked.
"I'm not gonna ask you to leave because I know you love it there. And I love it here with AEW. So how the fuck is this going to work when we're both on the road with different companies?" Jon asked.
Seth thought over what Jon just said and came to a realization.
"Let's just worry about that when the time comes." Seth told him.
Jon took a deep breath and looked over at Seth.
"Are we crazy for thinking this can actually work?" Jon asked.
"I know you are crazy, but me.. not so much." Seth joked.
Jon now let out a laugh of his own as Seth grabbed his hand.
"You're fuckin' impossible, man." Jon joked.
Seth let out a small laugh before he saw his phone light up. Jon glanced down and saw that it was Becky.
"Everything okay?" Jon asked.
"Yeah.. It's just Becks. She got a concussion during her match on Raw. They pulled her off the car this weekend." Seth said.
Jon thought to himself for s moment.
"It sounds like maybe you should be with her right now instead of me, babe." Jon said.
Seth let out a sigh.
"She's fine. Let's just-." Seth began to say before Jon's phone began to ring.
It was Renee.
"I think your wife's calling." Seth told him.
Jon ignores the call and threw himself back of the bed as he let out a sigh of frustration.
"This is so fucked up." Jon said.
Seth laid down on the bed beside him.
"If we don't do something about this sooner or later we're going to end up like Robert and Sol." Seth said.
"Who?" Jon asked.
"Grace and Frankie, it's a tv show." Seth said.
Jon looked over at Seth and watched him for a moment. Seth now turned his head and looked into Jon's eyes.
"I love you, babe." Jon said.
Seth leaned in and kissed Jon a slowly.
"I love you too." Seth said as he held Jon's face and stared deep into his eyes.
Both men let out smiles as their hearts grew warm. In that moment they forgot about the fans, about Becky and Renee, they forgot about all the obstacles they were going to have to over come and we're just thankful that they were with each other now.
Nashville, Tennessee
Becky and Roman were sitting on the couch hanging four after finishing their pizza.
"So you're going to meet the guy that you're wife has been seeing?" Becky asked.
"His name is Roger." Roman told her.
Becky broke out into laughter.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why that's so funny." Becky tried to stop laughing.
Roman shook his head and let out a small laugh himself.
"This whole thing with Galina and I is so messed up. It's like we know we're done but going through a divorce would get out to the public and we don't want Jojo dealing with all that, you know?" Roman asked.
"Yeah, I understand. Do you think it's going to be weird meeting him?" Becky asked.
"I mean yeah.. I was with her for so long and she's the mother of my child. I don't know, it's just going to feel so weird being in our house, seeing her with another man.." Roman said unfortunately.
Becky watched him for a moment with an ache in her heart.
"Why don't I go with you?" Becky asked.
"What?" Roman asked as he looked up at her in confusion.
"If I go with you to the dinner then maybe it won't be so awkward.
And Galina loves me, I'm sure time being there would lighten the conversation a little bit." Becky suggested.
"You would really do that?" Roman asked.
"Of course. And besides, it's not like I have anything else I do all weekend." Becky said.
Roman nodded in approval as he smiled at Becky.

Alexa let out a sigh before she received a snap from Sasha. "I hope you don't mind, I stole your hoodie last night." Sasha laves the photo as she posed in Alexa's black hoodie.
