After the recordings for BTE were done and everyone had talked about how the scenes went, they went their own ways as Y/N headed out first. He seemed determined as he walked through the hallway while a lot of people looked after him, a little confused as to what was going on with him. Not that he was anti social or in a rush, but he had something to take care of as Adam shrugged.

Adam:" Looks like he's busy."

Stu:" Don't worry, guys. Y/N isn't so bad. He's actually a lot of fun."

Tay:" Why don't you tell us more about him then, Stu? Since we're all here together, it shouldn't be a problem for you to tell us about your friend."

Stu:" Well, you're right about that actually. Okay, take a seat because there's a lot to talk about."

This had all of Dark Order gathered in their room as Stu began telling them about Y/N, who he was and so on. After all, reuniting with someone after so long was always something special and Stu's excitement was very difficult to contain.

On the other side of the arena was Y/N who was currently fixing something on his car. It wasn't anything major, but it still irked him to get this done.

Y/N:" Years of service and today you're giving up on me? C'mon, buddy. Don't be like that."

Mumbling to himself, the muscular man moved the wrench a little more and got the result he desperately needed right now. Y/N's car wasn't anything luxurious or exquisite, it was just something that got him from one place to another. Sometimes he took friends along as well and they had a great time wherever they went. However, now being with AEW after 2 years on the indie circuit, was a big change to him. Truth be told, Y/N was often refered to as being sturdy as a brick wall and that he had stamina unlike anyone else. He always chuckled about that and right now it wasn't any different as he put the tools down and sat back.

Y/N:" I mean I worked for that reputation. Who else can say they went one hour with Minoru Suzuki in the ring?"

???:" See? He's still here."

With a new voice and two pairs of footsteps making their way towards him, Y/N couldn't help but turn only to see Tay and Anna coming closer.

Y/N:" Ladies, can I do something for you?"

Tay:" Anna here thought you left already, eventhough Stu said you'd be around until the last minute."

Anna:" Okay yeah, I was skeptical."

Y/N:" Well, Stu is right. I always stay around until the last few people leave."

Anna:" Why did you leave the room so quickly though?"

Y/N:" Car trouble. As you see, I'm trying to fix this damn thing. It's old, but drives really well."

Tay:" Does it?"

Y/N:" I could take you two back to the hotel in it, if you want."

Anna:" I don't thi-"

Tay:" We're in! Come on, Anna. Get your luggage. It will be fun."

That was the last thing Y/N saw of the two for now as Tay pushed Anna back towards the arena to get their belongings.

He thought the two were a fun duo right there as Tay seemed to be more fun loving and open while Anna acted like she wasn't so sure about Y/N. Maybe it was just because they were strangers to each other or his first attempt at flirting confused her.
---------------------------------------------------------

Ten minutes later and the three of them were on the road, making their way through the city. Anna and Tay enjoyed the music that was playing right now,  singing along and slightly dancing in their seats.

Y/N glanced at the two every now and then, smiling that they actually enjoyed themselves right now. Apparently both of the ladies knew how to keep their spirits up as their voices rang through the car.

Y/N:" Look at you two having fun."

Tay:" A little celebration after a fun BTE shot never hurts, Y/N. You should do that too."

Y/N:" I'd love to, but I'm a high maintenance guy."

Anna:" You don't look the type for makeup or skin care."

Y/N:" I am. At least in the skin care point. Screw the makeup."

Tay:" According to Stu, you work out a lot though. A whole lot."

Anna:" Fortunately you're not a meathead like other guys."

Y/N grinned at that and shook his head, being glad they didn't have a negative opinion on him. Sure, he did work out a lot like Stu said, but he wasn't obsessed with it whatsoever.

Y/N:" You can think that as much as you like. All I know is that it helps me stay healthy and in shape."

Tay:" You're more modest than expected."

Anna:" Fortunately. Another showoff and I would've kicked someone's ass."

Y/N:" I definitly don't doubt you, ladies. I'm glad we're getting along so far."

Anna:" You're the new guy in our ranks after all, Y/N. What better way to get started than build a friendly base?"

Tay:" You're also a great wrestler, so don't worry about that at all. Buuuut...once we're at the hotel-"

Y/N:" Which we are now."

Tay:" Would you be so kind to carry our luggage? I hate asking this, but I had a hard match earlier."

Anna:" And I just got my nails done recently."

Y/N:" You're lucky I like the two of you. Okay, I will carry your stuff but you owe me something."

While parking the car, Tay and Anna smiled as they undid their seatbelts and got out once the car stood still while Y/N took a deep breath.

Y/N:" The things you do to be a gentleman."

Nodding, he got out as well, took the luggage from the trunk and locked the car. Just now he saw that both girls had a small case and two bags full of clothes and other necessities.

(Imagine there are two of these)

Tay:" We kind of packed a lot, sooo...sorry if it's too heavy."

Anna:" I'm sure Y/N can take it, right?"

Y/N:" I carried worse before. This is nothing."

He proved that by lifting the luggage without any trouble as he followed Anna and Tay, who was keeping a close eye on her friend who didn't seem too impressed by Y/N yet. It felt like something bothered her, but she didn't want to talk about it just yet. Tay also didn't want to intrude, so she didn't ask and just led the two to the elevator, bumping in the floor they were staying on.
---------------------------------------------------------

The elevator ride wasn't very spectacular as the three finally made it to Tay's and Anna's room with Y/N carrying their luggage inside once the door was open.

Tay:" Thanks a lot, Y/N. I promise you will get something back."

Y/N:" It's no problem. Don't worry about it. As long as I can help, everything is fine."

Y/N out of nowhere hugged Tay and Anna as a way to say that he appreciated them as co-workers and acquaintences. It would take a while to say they would be friends, but he was certain that it would come naturally the longer they knew each other for.

Y/N:" We'll, I don't wanna keep you up much longer. Have a great night, girls. I'll see you soon."

Anna:" Bye, Y/N. Stay safe. And don't go too hard on exercise!"

Y/N:" Can't promise that, Miss Jay. But I'll try to keep it easy."

Tay:" See you soon, Y/N. Sleep tight."

The three smiled and when Y/N looked back, he swore he saw Anna shyly wave him goodbye.

This definitly was a different feeling to him, but she could also just be playing around. After all, they just started hanging out with each other and didn't talk about too many personal things, other than what Stu revealed before. Y/N made a mental note that he should ask Stu what he said, but right now his mind was on some late night exercise as he decided to make his way to the hotel gym with his headphones in, listening to his workout playlist, starting off easy.

Y/N wasn't going to push himself too hard at a time like this. He had more than enough to do, no matter what, as he got in whatever exercise that wouldn't wear him out completely. The whole BTE skit was really funny to him once John and Alex arrived, because he knew something hilarious would happen down the line. Some viewers would probably notice how close he was to laughing, but that was part of why it was so much fun as a whole. Of course he wasn't just a comedic relief or something, he wanted to be taken seriously even during that show. That was why Y/N stayed so serious and bone chilling at first. Only when a strong hand connected with his shoulder did he look up, only to see Wardlow.

Wardlow:" Hey. Y/N, right?"

Y/N:" Yeah, that's me. What can I do for you?"

Wardlow:" Nothing, man. I'm just over here to chat, because you're the only other person here. I'm Wardlow as you probably know."

Y/N:" You're still working with MJF?"

Wardlow:" Yeah. In ring he's a dick, but outside...nah, he's always a dick."

Y/N:" Go figure. If I ever have a match against him, I'll punch that smug grin right off his face."

Wardlow:" Sounds good, man. There are a lot of times I can't stand him either. But that's not the point."

And so, a long chat began between Y/N and Wardlow as they talked about different topics like wrestling, their hobbies, what they think their future would bring and so on.
