With the show over, Y/N was playing taxi service again for Tay and Anna, who brought Navy along as well.

The dog's tail wagged happily from side to side as the three approached the car and as if by choice, Navy immediatly got in to sit behind Y/N. The young man chuckled, seeing his new friend like that which in turn made Anna giggle after the bags were put in the trunk. She told Tay about all the things that were going on between her and Y/N so far and thank goodness the brazilian had a few tips to keep calm and handle any situation that might arise sooner or later.

Tay:" I know that I will be in bed as soon as we get to the hotel."

Y/N:" That tired after facing Kiera Hogan?"

Tay:" Very much. She really packs a punch when the match starts."

Anna:" But she's still a cool person and fun to be around, if you ask me. I like working with Impact in this exchange, you know?"

Y/N:" Can't blame you there. I have a few dream matches myself, but that's a story for another time."

Anna:" Always with the suspense. How?"

Y/N:" Master Of Reality? Or am I simply paranoid? Nobody knows haha."

Anna:" I swear I will figure you out."

In response to that, Navy barked as if to say that enough time has passed and they needed to go, so listening to him, everyone got in the car, strapped in and the drive back to the hotel began.
---------------------------------------------------------

A milkshake and twenty minutes later, Tay held true to her words as she headed straight to bed to rest up for the coming days. Navy layed down in a recliner to sleep as well, which left Y/N and Anna to fend for themselves.

Anna:" You really can't be mad at Navy, huh?"

Y/N:" Not really. He's a good guy and I understand that he was hungry earlier."

Anna:" Also look at him. He's adorable."

Y/N:" So can I be when I want to."

Anna:" Yeah, but I don't have to feed or bathe you or anything. You're a grown man...(sweet too)."

Anna winked before walking to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water while Y/N smiled and stretched. He wasn't as tired, but the match against 2.0 did take some energy out of him for sure. Teaming with Colt was a lot of fun for him to be honest. And it would surely prove to the rest of Dark Order that he was a great fit for them. Being friends with Stu helped already, winning over Tay to agree would probably not be much of a struggle either, but Anna was the one playing hard to get in that regard. She knew exactly what she was doing to him and by the looks of things, it did work better than expected.

Anna:" Something on your mind?"

Y/N:" Yeah. What's this little game that's going on?"

Anna:" I don't know what you're talking about."

Y/N:" You're baiting me, Anna."

Anna:" And if I am?"

Y/N:" Do you really wanna find out?"

Anna:" Uh oh."

Anna was right in being worried at first when Y/N put her on his shoulder and brought her over to the couch again. She thought something else was going to happen there, but it didn't go off the rails. Instead, the two found themselves next to each other, just about no space left in between.

Anna:" Okay, I really thought you would just drop me."

Y/N:" Nah, I can't do that. You're too precious to just fall."

Anna:" Charmer."

Y/N:" Only to the people I like."

Anna:" Which kind of like though?"

Y/N:" Now you're asking the hard questions."

Anna:" Well, I wanna know what exactly you think since we started hanging out and everything. And you kind of owe me that explaination anyways."

Y/N:" If I didn't know you were here with me, I wouldn't feel comfortable right now...Short or long answer?"

Anna:" Long, duh! We still got time before sleep takes over."

Y/N:" Good. Alrighty...at first I was pretty nervous about what you would think about me after the BTE skit. It clearly wasn't my private self like I am right now. Talking to you opened up quite a lot in my opinion. Then the other day at the park and everything, I've got to see the sweeter side of you. Stu didn't believe me that you were worried about me."

Anna:" But I was. Go on."

Y/N:" I've been thinking that we've hit it off pretty well so far. After all, it's not every day people like us just meet and all."

Anna:" You're a special case, but that's what's so amusing about you, Y/N. You stand out to me."

Y/N:" Really? How so?"

Anna:" You're not a rude, snarky jerk most of the time. And thanks to the Shot Of Brandi episode, I learned more about you as well, sooo...I agree that we got far since you got here. And Tay gets along with you too, which is just as awesome."

This time, Y/N had to chuckle. All the sincerity of Anna's words and hiw she was still herself made this a much better conversation to have than first expected. And with their first halfway official date taken care of, the path was slowly but surely getting set for what the future would bring.

Anna:" You're also pretty comfortable to cuddle with."

Y/N:" Unusual compliment, but I take it."

Anna:" Is it true though that you and your uncle drink on birthdays and all that?"

Y/N:" Yup, but I learned to control myself mostly."

Anna:" Right. I would love to see the tipsy you though."

Y/N:" Sober me is more than enough to handle already. A tipsy or fully drink me would be a nightmare for you haha."

Anna:" I wouldn't say it like that. You're just having a hard time adjusting."

Y/N:" Did Stu tell you?"

Anna:" Yup. He informed me about a few things, but I don't wanna dwell on it too much right now. The mood is too good to be dragged down."

Y/N:" You're too good."

Anna:" Flatterer."

Anna smiled, but just as Y/N was about to boop her nose, she tried biting his finger. It was a very close call there as Y/N pulled his hand back and looked at her.

Y/N:" Did you just try to bite me?"

Anna:" Yes?"

Y/N:" That's naughty."

Anna:" But for you, I'm sugar, spice and everything nice. And now shh, time to sleep."

With that, both of them stayed cuddled up and Y/N pulled a blanket over to keep warm. It wasn't uncommon for Y/N to do this with females he got along with, it was just a matter of time and comfort to even get that chance. And Anna considered herself lucky enough to be there right now.
