Friday has come and that meant it was time for AEW Rampage. Quite a few matches have been set up for the show, but the one that mattered the most to the Dark Order was Colt and Y/N going against 2.0. Anna and Tay won their clash on Dynamite with a flawless victory, so that gave them a great boost for what was still to come. Tay caught her best friend smiling once Y/N and Colt made their entrance.

Tay:" Anna?......Anna!"

Anna:" What, Tay?"

Tay:" Why are you staring at Y/N so much?"

Anna:" I don't and it's not that much."

Tay:" Oh really? Then why did you smile when he winked at the camera?"

Anna:" I did not!"

Tay:" Sure did! Is it because of yesterday when he took you out for some time?"

Anna:" It's...complicated."

Tay:" Just tell your friend what's up."

Anna knew she had no chance to get out of this. Tay always found a way to get the answers she wanted and now, she was excited to hear what Anna had to say about her time with Y/N.

Anna:" He's just different. I watched his matches and promos from the indies and he's so dark and vicious in the ring. In public though, he's this funny gentleman and I don't know what to think about that. And he's a major tease!"

Tay:" Oooh, looks like the Queenslayer has found her match."

Anna:" What do you mean?"

Tay:" It's obvious that you like him in some way. I can tell by the way you're looking at him."

Anna:" Riiiight. And I'm a wizard."

Tay:" Haha. Be serious though. You like Y/N, don't you?"

Anna:" Yes! No! Maybe? I don't know! Tay, help me!"

Tay:" Easy there, sister. You need to calm down first. I also have some ideas in mind, so don't worry about a thing."

Anna sighed and ran a hand through her hair, leaning back against a crate while she and Tay discussed feelings and what to do with a guy like Y/N.
---------------------------------------------------------

At the same time in the ring, Colt was facing off against Matt Lee. The size difference was remarkable as they locked up with Colt easily transitioning into a Side Headlock. Truth be told though, it wouldn't be too easy, but things started a little bleak for 2.0. Daniel Garcia wasn't with them tonight as he had a match against Bobby Fish later on, so there were no interferences from anyone. Matt tried to push Colt off to no avail as Colt backed up into his corner and Y/N tagged in for the first Tag Team move in the match.

The knee took Matt down easily and Y/N kept up a barrage of strikes while Colt left the ring. Judging from the experience of his singles match on Wednesday, people expected another big beatdown, eventhough communication was key in Tag Team action like this. The ref had to separate both men for a moment as Y/N backed up against the ropes for a moment while Matt took a deep breath before tagging in Jeff who was quick on the move. He avoided the first two swings from Y/N, but the third one got him.

Y/N chuckled deviously after Jeff landed and dragged him over to Colt, getting the next Tag move in.

They kept things simple for now since the match just started a few minutes ago and it shouldn't be a squash for them either. Colt took to the ropes for a Running Elbow Drop before letting the fans cheer for him. He and Y/N were so different from each other and still could coexist in this context so far. Who knew it would go like this. Matt and Jeff decided to team up this time to try and take Colt down, but he surprised everyone with a Springboard Moonsault.

The crowd and even Y/N were surprised by that as Colt hit both men and evened the playing field again. 2.0 was known for trying some unfair stuff and tonight wasn't any different. Matt rolled back out and stumbled back to his corner while Colt picked Jeff up for a Suplex.

The first pin attempt followed and went to a Two count, but Jeff wasn't out of the match just yet. He raised his shoulder quickly and rolled towards the ropes while Colt argued with the referee about the count. Yes, even Colt could lose his cool every now and then, but he had to be careful, so it didn't fire back like it did now when he was hit with a DDT.

With things now going the opposite way, Jeff tagged in Matt again and they delivered Elbows and Leg Drops one after the other until they got a full dozen before the ref stopped them. Y/N wasn't furious yet because he knew how tough Colt was and that they would regain control of the match sooner or later. Matt decided to taunt the bigger man with a cocky grin on his face, enjoying it since the ref has to keep Y/N out of the ring. Typical heel behavior, although things took another turn when Colt caught Matt off guard and took him off his feet with an Air Raid Crash.

He then tagged in Y/N again and together they decided to put this little game to rest with a Boot Of Doom.

So while Y/N was taking care of the pin, Colt just gave Jeff something extra to keep him down.

And that was the end of the match right there. Y/N got back up and got his arm raised while Colt took a moment to enter the ring again. He had a smile on his face and was helped back to his feet before both men shook hands in the middle of the ring. It was a sign of mutual respect between them.
---------------------------------------------------------

Backstage again, the two kept talking and joking around after the match. It was refreshing for Colt to see Y/N more relaxed now, compared to the previous day and a talk like that never hurt anyone.

Colt:" I still can't believe you turned Jeff upside down like that. That was a huge lariat."

Y/N:" It's nothing special, unlike your Moonsault. I didn't know you could fly like that."

Colt:" You should see my ROH matches, man. Give them a chance when you have the time."

Y/N:" Sure will, man. I gotta get to know the people I surround myself with after all."

Colt:" Sounds good. I'll hit the shower now. See you later, Y/N."

Y/N:" Same, Colt. Stay safe."

With that, both men went separate ways for now as Y/N walked towards catering to get himself a sandwich. He was hungry since coming to the arena, but didn't wanna eat before the action. Freezing a few people, he grabbed said sandwich and wanted to sit down, but suddenly a dog with black fur snatched the snack from him and ran away.

Y/N:" Ay, who's dog is that?! Come back here!"

So the chase began. What looked silly to a lot of people was serious for Y/N as he chased the dog through the hallway. Who even brought their dog to work? And was that even allowed? Turning a few corners, he found himself in the DO HQ right across from Anna and the dog.

Y/N:" Is this your dog?"

Anna:" Yes, Y/N. This is Navy. He's a little adventurous."

Y/N:" I see that. He snatched that sandwich from me just now."

Anna:" There's a load of turkey and cheese on it. Also, can you be mad at a dog?"

Y/N:" Fair point. Okay...Navy, I forgive you this time."

Navy looked at Y/N for a moment before giving him an enthusiastic lick across the cheek which caused Anna to laugh. She had Navy for a good while now and knew him very well, so licks like that weren't uncommon.

Y/N:" Bwargh, now I smell like dog food and morning breath."

Anna:" Don't worry. You and Navy will become friends sooner rather than later."

Y/N:" Right. I suppose I get myself a new sandwich. Would you like anything?"

Anna:" Some apple pie please."

Y/N:" Coming right up."

So Y/N softly booped Navy's nose before walking off to catering once more, not realizing that his pants were slightly torn and giving Anna an unexpected view of his butt. She caught it and blushed, being too embarrassed to call out after him, cuddling with Navy instead.
