Extra Chapter - Moving In To The New House, And....

Destroyer's Personal Observation:

Whoever says that 'Getting a new place is easy' is either very stupid, REALLY wrong to the point that they need a slap in the face, or is just incredibly lucky, because me, Cassie and Jessica found it VERY difficult to find a place.

Now granted both Billie and Peyton had apparently started looking after I agreed to getting a place with them, as I found out literally the day after that, quite literally, bloody enjoyable war of a Hell in a Cell match at that god awful paper-view...Well I found it enjoyable at least. Then again I'm a sucker when it comes to bloody and/or violent hardcore-type matches. Don't believe me? Ask Jon Moxley or some of my biggest rivals.

Anyway where was I...? Oh right, now I remember. House finding...joy...

It's only a couple of days removed from Hell In A Cell, and yes I'm still battered and scarred as fuck, and I'm pretty sure half my brain cells were scrambled again after that match from the concussion, which surprisingly wasn't as bad as I had thought but would mean I couldn't compete for the next few weeks.

And, for those who are concerned, that was only the second, maybe third time I've had a concussion in my career. Trust me, I know. And honestly that's something I relieved at given how brutal some of my hardcore matches, or No DQ based matches in general, end up getting.

But thankfully, as my IIconic beauties of cru...I mean friends...had told me: they'd managed to find a place big enough for the three of us to stay, and that would be able to accommodate any guests we have, which no doubt will mostly be guests they have, and fit all of their stuff in. 

In case any of you are curious: I don't have much stuff myself outside of replica titles I got made or given for titles I've won in the my career...mainly because my sisters and my mums encouraged me to as a reminder of my journey, even if I saw no point to it at the time (trust me, I know I'm a strange person); my laptop and musical devices; and finally my phone, gym and wrestler gears, and pictures of me and friends. 

Now granted, I started to grow to like the replica belts I had, but apart from those: the only real non-essential things that I do like is motor bikes or dirt bikes, even though the last one I owned was when I was...between 18 to 22 perhaps. 

Maybe I should think of getting one again...has been some time.

I had to get a friend to help me get some of my stuff transferred from the place where it was over to the new house. It was fortunate that I had the directions for it as well. The only price he asked for was a couple of tickets for the next show I was on, which I was more than happy to get for him.

If you're wonder who this friend of mine was: he's a guy named Damian 'Demon' Frost, someone who works in New Japan and Ring of Honor currently, and yes that is both his real name and ring name, and he's also somebody I myself trained and tutored when I was still in the indies. I occasionally do still do so when I'm able to and we're in the area. 

[Author's Note: Damion 'Demon' Frost is one of my 2 OC characters from my "Love That Transcends Companies" story that I did start, but that I have sadly unpublished, but one I am trying to work on when I can. A picture of the two is down below here]

Before anybody asks: no, Damion isn't coming to WWE any time soon...or at all unless he wants to. He's one of those wrestlers/fans who is more than happy to watch it when he wants to, but doesn't want to go and work there. Personally I respect his opinion, even if I went to WWE myself.

Even his daughter, Caitlin Frost, wanted to help. I let her help with the replica titles since she had taken a liking to them. But when we were heading to mine, Jessica's and Cassie's new place: we all ended up, embarrassingly, singing songs that we liked - such as "Shepard of Fire" by Avenged Sevenfold, or "Going Under" by Evanescence, or even "Just Like Me" by Three Days Grace.

Yes, I know, strange songs for a kid to listen to. But Caitlin is, as she herself has described as well as Damion, a bit of a Gothic kid. And besides, the fact that she traveled with me and her Dad for years when growing up means she would only eventually start liking the songs that we do anyway.

"Hey, Uncle Michael? What are The IIconics like?" Caitlin asked me out of interest whilst we were listening to Halflives's "Lone Wolf" song. She calls me uncle because I'm the closest thing she has to an uncle, since Damion doesn't have a brother and is both an only child and an only parent...that and Damion started calling me "Uncle Michael" to Caitlin when she was growing up, soooo...yeah.

I do know that Damion has an Aunt and a cousin, both were named Marina and Angel respectively, and both are nice, she at least Caitlin has actual family she can visit at time. But, getting back on topic, and well...I think I ended up making myself seem like a sap...something that has never happened before to my knowledge...

"Honestly? Cassie and Jessica are...quite honestly two of the best friends and people that I've had the pleasure of meeting in my life. They're funny, they're rather sassy, always fun to be around if you're lucky enough to hang out with them...but also they'd probably surprise you by how nice they are or can be...I'd probably have been lost a thousand times over without 'em."

I could feel both Damion and Caitlin looking at me with teasing smirks, and it rather ticked me off a bit, even if I didn't show it. "What?" was all I asked, to which Damion was the first to respond...and it was the first time that I wish he hadn't.

"Sounds like you're rather taken with your Aussie beauties of friends, Mick. If I didn't know any better, we'd think you were already married to 'em." I almost did a double take at what he said, even more so when Cait started laughing alongside her dad. 

"I think it's cute Dad. Now Uncle Mickie doesn't have to be so broody and serious most of the time!" I looked over her at that in shock at her statement. Damion just burst out laughing like an idiot.

"I don't brood! And I'm not serious most of the time!" I tried defending myself, but they both just gave me looks that screamed 'Oh sure...' in sarcasm! 

The nerve of some people....

We arrived at the new place that on the afternoon of the next day. I wasn't on the Raw after Hell In A Cell, so it was fine for me, and Damion didn't have another appearance for a few days so he was fine too. As for the house's location? Well, it's in Orlando. 

Why Orlando, Florida and not in Australia? 2 reasons actually: 1. According to Billie and Peyton, it's easier to see our wrestling buddies in Orlando and, apparently, it means easier flights to the next show (I'm not so sure on that personally, and neither is the writer as his Geography is terrible)...

[Author's Note: Stop breaking the fourth wall, Destroyer!]

...And 2. Both me and the girls wanted to move to Orlando. Granted, we loved being in Australia, of course we do. Hell, Damion prefers living there because that's where his Mum was born. But the reason me and The IIconics wanted to live in Orlando was because, when we were growing up, we'd always made it a plan to live in another place that we liked if we either couldn't find a place to live in Australia, or if we didn't want to.

There was just one small problem though...whilst I knew where the new house was...well, let's just say that Cassie and Jessica chose the place before I could see it. Soooo...yeah...I'm essentially moving into a place that the girls will love, but that I might possibly hate!

But then again, I should have already known what I was getting into when I agreed to move in with the two.

So you can imagine my surprise when we arrived at the place in question...but for the benefit of those who might struggle a bit, I'll try to explain. I guess we can start with the fact that the first words that came to my mind at the time were: 'What the hell...?'

Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate or dislike it, I mean it looked fairly cool as well in design...but I couldn't help but wonder why the girls chose this place or how much it must have cost. 

Cassie and Jess were both waiting when we arrived, and both hugged me instantly when I got out of the vehicle. They've been doing that a lot lately...not that I'm complaining. Damion just laughed a bit in amusement whilst Caitlin went "Awwwww" for a bit.

"Who's this you've brought with ya Mickie?" Billie was the first to ask, both of them curious as to who Damion and Caity were. "These are Damion and Caitlin Frost. Damion's my student, even though I'd say he's far exceeded me as a student now...and Caitlin is his daughter, whom I'm an uncle to according to these two."

"Pleasure to meet ya." Damion said as he shook Billie and Peyton's hands...then Billie and Peyton both got a surprise when Caitlin hugged them like a starstruck fan. Which, to be fair, she pretty much was.

"You two are amazing! I'm your biggest fans!" she said eagerly. Both Billie and Peyton found it cute, and even hugged Cait with the biggest smiles I've seen on their faces. 

"Awww! She's adorable!" Peyton soon said in response, to which me and Damion chuckled a bit at seeing how quickly the three of them gelled by first meeting alone. "Cait? Why don't you go with Cassie and Jessica and look around the place whilst I help Mick?" I heard Damion say to Cait, to which the little one nodded early before heading inside with my IIconic friends before me and Damion began to bring my things in.

It took us a little while to get all of my stuff into the house, despite there not being that many things. What? Titles are heavy. Or they can be anyway. 

Anyway, all that meant that it took a little longer than was originally planned or hope to get everything in. But even so, I didn't mind too much, and Damion didn't seem to mind as well to be fair. Plus it seemed that Cassie and Jess were having fun with Caitlin as well, so it was a win-win on both sides I suppose.

Every-so-often, I would feel myself glancing either in the direction of my iconic childhood friends...no pun intended...for either a brief moment, or for as long as a minute or two. They did not seem to notice me, or if they did, they didn't show it. 

Damion, on the other hand, certainly did notice my quick glances or lingering looks...and my former student was of-so-quick to point it out when we got back outside to lock his vehicle. 

"Got a bit of a crush on ya Aussie beauties of friends do ya?" he teased, and I rolled my eyes a bit, punching his shoulder at that...which he merely laughed at...

"Damion, do me a favor will ya? Shut the fuck up." I said, which only served to caused "The Demon Outlaw" to laugh at me a bit more. Eventually I just relented and rolled my eyes a bit before ruffling up his hair to piss him off.

"Look, you want my advice?" he eventually asked me, which I rolled my eyes saying in a bit of annoyance. "No...but you're going to tell me anyway aren't you?" I asked, rhetorically of course as I knew he would. 

"Look, it's clear that both of them like ya mate. And it's really obvious that you like them as well. Well, obvious to me and Caity at least. So do yourself and them a favor: stop denying it to yourself and go after 'em." he said, surprising me a bit by his words, even if the advice in question was more-or-less what I expected it to be.

"And before you start protesting that 'You can't do that' - when has that stopped people in the past? Plus, you three are good friends anyway...I think you three can hide the fact that you're dating from others if you wanted to. So just do it." 

I sighed a bit, brushing a hand across my face a bit at that. As much as it absolutely annoys and pains me to admit it...Damion did have a point on this matter. And I hate it when people speak facts about me that are true. 

Eventually when we were done, Damion and Caitlin headed off to their hotel for the night. I had offered for them to stay over for the night, but Damion declined the offer. Can't exactly recall the reason why, but I think it was because he was going for a physical check-up on his left knee.

I was currently sitting on the sofa inside the new house, trying to get used to my new surroundings, if only mentally. Though I wouldn't have long to adjust, as I ended up getting called by the girls to come outside. 

At first I was confused by this, as it was at the point of the day were the sun would be setting soon, but I decided I'd humor them and come outside to see what they want...jeez, was I not expecting the sight I saw.

They were in their swim wear, with the only other things that they may or may not have been wearing at the time being a pair of shades each, and towels that I suspect they had already began taking off before they'd even called me, I don't know.

Now I won't go into any other details or anything, but god damn it - they were smoking hot! And trust me, that is not something I would say about someone out of respect, unless they needed an honest opinion...which, in my case, is very rare because of my reputation of being respectful and a gentleman to women.

What? I'm intimidating most of the time in and out the ring, true, but that doesn't mean I'm a brute when it comes to those of the opposite sex. And those who argue often weirdly end up with a black eye...and trust me, they don't come from me on that occasion.

[Author's Note: No, I won't show a picture, because to be honest I don't feel comfortable with doing that. I hope you understand and respect that]

"What...the...?" was all I could manage to say at this unexpected scene. Sure, I was used to seeing them in their ring attires, but at least they had more clothes on even then than now. I ended up covering my eyes, only for Billie to run over and pull it down as both laughed a bit.

"Aww, come on, Micky! Quit being a gent for once and join us!" she teased. I rolled my eyes a bit and looked over to Cassie briefly. "Cassie? Little help here?" She just laughed a bit. "I'm with Jess, Mick. Come on, it'll be fun!"

I rolled my eyes a bit at that, before sighing and placing my free hand into my face briefly before responding. "Fine...give me a bit..." I responded, much to the cheers of the girls, before I ended up turning and heading upstairs, shouting as I walked away. "No peeking through the window! I know you can see it from here..." 

They both just laughed a bit at that. ""No promises!"" they both said in response. I swear, if they weren't my best friends I'd be tempted not to do this for them. But, as I said, they are my friends, so my foolish pride prevents me from breaking my promises.

Eventually, after sifting through some of my stuff, I ended up finding something to wear to the pool, so I ended up putting a pair of black swim shorts with skull designs on it and some shades before heading back outside.

However in changing, I'd also taken off my gloves, causing the tattoos that were underneath them to be revealed as well, ones that I'd gotten a few months ago and that Jess and Cassie have seen...maybe once or twice since we were reunited.

Plus the lack of a shirt also revealed the scars on my chest as well. Which, to fair, probably may or may not have looked too bad depending on the person...

I took a tank top with me just in case. At the very least I could just wear that if Peyton and Billie didn't like the sight. 

Turns out though, I probably should've put the tank top on...and I'm not even 100% sure if that's because they were shocked, or something else was going on in their minds when I did come down. 'Cause when I did, they just stared at me a bit with their jaws opened, and an unreadable look in their eyes and in their facial movements. It was rather uncomfortable.

After a while, I just ended up putting on the tank top to cover up the majority of the scars. They must've noticed this because they ended up looking away briefly and muttering something in inaudible whispers that I couldn't decipher. 

Eventually I heard Peyton speaking as I entered the water, tank top still on, and after only having a momentary case of flinching in my body.

"Michael? Do...do those hurt at all? The scars I mean? You rarely talk about them, if ever..." I sighed a bit at the question, understanding the meaning for the question at the very least. Weirdly though, I still had to think on my response, even though I've answered it over 100 times at least. Maybe more, I don't fucking know.

What the hell is wrong with me...?

"Sometimes, perhaps...Definitely if I'm careless enough to sleep on my front, which is rare. But most of the time it's barely more than an annoying stinging kind of pain at best." My answer was truthful, though still clearly took them off guard. 

"How do ya live with that kind of pain...?" I heard Jessica ask, causing me to look over to them both, seeing their concerned expressions. "*sigh* To be honest, I've no idea myself half the time...Guess I've just learnt to block it out most of the time, or learnt to live with it...Doesn't bother me too much, but definitely scares the shit out of my family...with good reason I suppose..."

I shook my head a bit, both at the slightly bad memories that the pain caused, but also because I was getting way too emotional than I would like to admit. 

Which is probably why I wasn't expecting what they did next: both ended up getting in the water and swimming next to me before hugging me - that part was normal...minus the pool part - then...well...how can I put this without being blunt? Jessica kissed me. And not on the check like a friend would when they are being kind!

Yep. She kissed me on the lips, which took me completely by surprise! But the surprising part only continued...because then, right after she pulled away...Cassie did the same mere moments later whilst Jess clung to me protectively.

Now, bare in mind that I was not under the impression that they had not given any indication that they had even wanted to do that or...maybe even felt the same way towards me as I...may...or may not...feel towards them...F*** I'm not very convincing when hiding feelings.

When the kissing had stopped, I felt both of them cling to me...and, I think I heard them crying a bit...the 'why' was revealed moments later when I heard Billie say to me "You're a dumb ass, ya know that!? Making us worry about ya so much because you're so reckless!" 

I was about to say something to counter that argument, when Peyton ended up punching me a bit on the shoulder before speaking. "We're worried about you Michael...so, you promise us that you'll be more careful!"

I ended up sighing a bit at that...then I kissed the top of their heads before responding. "I can't promise that. And you both know I can't. It's part of who I am, being reckless and violent." It was an honest answer, and one that I know they both are aware of. So the fact that they asked me to be careful wasn't something that sat well with me.

They both sighed a bit, before Jess responded. "We know...it's just that...well..." I sighed and responded "I know Jess, I know...you both don't want me to be seriously hurt."

An awkward silence filled the area for a while. I sighed a bit and decided to break the silence. "So, how long long?" I simply asked, and the blushes that came onto their checks within seconds of asking were priceless.

"Since you came to the company..." Jess said, surprisingly rather timidly for her compared to how she normally is around me. Her answer did surprise me...but Cassie's took me aback mentally. "Since the first time we met..."

It took me a minute to digest that one in particular, as well as Jessica's, let's not be a fool here...but then I ended up chuckling a little. "Well...my reputation's about to be ruined then, but...worth it." And then...well, you take a guess at what I did. I kissed both of them one-by-one.

Yep...my reputation probably is up in smoke. Worth it.

Needless to say now...things are definitely changing in my personal life for the better I'd say...and whatever happens in my professional life, I can safely say this with no regrets: though my reputation may be wrecked, possibly beyond recognition, I honestly couldn't care...because this badass  motherfucker has two of the most talented and beautiful people in the world in his life, in a new place that I think I'm going to enjoy staying at...and there's no way in hell that I'm giving all of this up!

Needless to say...things have just got more interesting! 

Author's Side-Note: I'm so sorry that this took so long to update, but I was struggling a lot with this chapter, and I've been trying to work on other stories/projects alongside this during these troubling times with a little success. 

Hope you enjoyed this chapter though, and the little addition to Damion. I can't promise that I know when the next chapter will be out, but I hope you'll be patient with me and enjoy it when it comes out finally. 

I hope you all have an amazing day!
