NXT was having a houseshow this time as many talents were already there to prepare themselves and get ready for their matches. Y/N was there as a spectator, wearing some casual clothes as he greeted some people backstage. Everyone had high expectations for the young man as his first match was on the horizon. He was a bit nervous because of that, not realizing that Cora and Bron were just a foot or so behind him.

Bron:" Time to wake up, big guy."

Y/N:" Haaah! Oh...Bron, Cora, I didn't see you come in."

Cora:" We just got here, so...yeah. And you're just watching everything tonight, huh?"

Y/N:" Yeah. It's to prepare me for next week. I don't know who I'll fight, but I hope I can impress some people."

Bron:' I'm sure you will, man. The first match is always a little nervewrecking, but once you're out there in action, the anxiety will fade."

Cora:" Yeah. Just keep cool and everything should be fine."

Y/N took a deep breath and nodded. He understood that Bron and Cora only meant well and he appreciated every bit of advice, but it was all on him to set things in motion.

Y/N:" Any guesses on who my opponent could be?"

Cora:" Probably nobody too difficult, but also not an absolute wuss. I think Ilja Dragunov could be fun."

Bron:" They could also put you against someone like Nathan Frazer or Axiom. I guess we have to wait and see."

Y/N:" Fair enough. I'm just excited to be on NXT. Coming from RevPro, it's very different around here."

Cora:" I didn't know you were in RevPro."

Y/N:" It was a short stay. Maybe about four months."

Bron:" Better than no experience at all. I'm taking on Trick Williams tonight and Cora is going against Indi Hartwell."

Cora:" Yup! That should be fun too. Can we join you in watching the first bit? Our matches are a bit later on."

Y/N:" I definitly don't mind. You two are fun company in my opinion."

Bron:" That's my guy!"

Bron chuckled and then gave Y/N a short hug while Cora smiled, seeing her boyfriend and their new friend get along so well. For most newcomers, it wasn't easy to find people to hang out with, so this was a welcome change to the usual routine. The trio soon found themselves a couch to sit on with Cora in the middle and the guys on either side of her.

Cora:" Two big burly guys and then there's me."

Bron:" Do you have enough space to move?"

Y/N:" Yeah, we don't wanna make you uncomfortable or anything."

Cora:" Oh I couldn't be better. You guys are fun to be around, so don't worry. Just don't celebrate too loud when someone wins, okay?"

Bron:" No promises haha."

Y/N:" I'll do my best to hold back."

Cora giggled and shook her head a little as the first match started: Ikemen Jiro vs Ilja Dragunov.

She first thought that Bron wouldn't like Y/N at all, especially because he was the new guy and because of how much he was around Cora already. Maybe there was something brewing and Bron was just hiding it or there was no issue at all, but time would tell sooner rather than later. Y/N wasn't too concerned right now as he just enjoyed the action in the ring and just hoped the two had a fun time as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Later on during the event, Y/N just got himself a cup of coffee after Cora won against Indi, using her bat once when the ref wasn't looking, finishing things with her Butterfly DDT. She grinned at the crowd before making her way to the back again while Bron was off to warm himself up for his match. The 'See You Later' before both of them left when it was their time to head off seemed genuine from Cora, but Bron seemed annoyed for some reason, so Cora wanted to apologize to Y/N. Upon finding him again, she immediately hurried to get the apology across.

Cora:" Hey Y/N, I'm sorry for earlier when Bron seemed ticked off. He doesn't mean you harm or anything...I just don't know what got into him."

Y/N:" It's all good, Cora. He probably has his reasons."

Cora:" Probably. I just hope he doesn't have anything against you."

Y/N:" Well, we barely know each other. Bron really couldn't have any reason to dislike me."

Cora:" He's strange sometimes, but it's okay. I'm sure he'll come around."

Y/N:" Sure...Anyways, that was a cool match against Indi. Nice of you to use the momentary distraction to your advantage."

Cora:" You...like that?"

Y/N:" Yeah, why?"

Cora:" Sorry, but with how fruendly and respectful you are, it's hard to imagine you liking tactics like that."

Y/N:" This gentleman has a few tricks up his sleeves to, Cora. I'll prove to everyone that not everything you see is what you get."

Cora:" Interesting. Now I'm definitly going to watch your match next week. You better keep your word."

Y/N:" I'll try my best."

This made Cora giggle again before she bumped fists with Y/N and then disappeared towards the womens lockerroom. Y/N was glad that she was supporting him, eventhough Bron didn't seem very pleased. But that was something to worry about later. Right now, the biggest surprise came in the form of one of the most popular superstars around the world: Logan Kenway!

Logan:" I see you're already making friends."

Y/N:" Mr. Kenway. I'm sorry. I should've seen you sooner."

Logan:" Relax, Y/N. I'm a normal person just as much as you. And call me Logan. Being called Mr. Kenway makes me feel old."

Y/N:" Okay, fair enough. What are you doing here though?"

Logan:" I'm scouting for the Main Roster to see who could join the big ranks soon. Then I saw you having that chat with Cora."

Y/N:" Good point. Cora was the first person I ran into at the start of the week. I got to know her and Bron a bit and now I hope my first match will go smoothly next week."

Logan:" Good to hear that you're getting your name out there. Whoever you face, I hope they're ready for you."

Y/N:" Better I'm resdy for them."

Logan:" Nah, don't think like that. You have to think like you're hunting. You're the predator and your opponent is the prey. I became The Alpha for a reason."

Y/N:" That's true. Just about everyone has respect for you and I'm one of those people."

Logan:" Smart thinking. Alright, I'll go see the rest. If you need any help or just wanna talk, let me know, okay?"

Y/N:" Y-Yeah! Of course! Have a nice night."

Logan:" See ya!"

And with that, Logan wandered off to watch the rest of the show from behind the curtain while Y/N needed a moment to digest everything. This has been a wild string of events for him.
