BECKY LYNCH &
SAMI ZAYN
for @Bloodsen

-

"It's freezing out here," Sami mumbled, more to himself than Kevin or Finn as he hugged his hoodie closer to himself, eyes grazing over the flames as they flickered in the light wind that usually crept up at this time of the evening. Nine-thirty on the dot, Finn sliding away from them and finding interest in Seth and Cesaro's conversation about a Marvel movie they'd gone to see earlier in the day. Sami felt..stuck. His eyes wanted to close and his body wanted the sensation of a soft mattress underneath it - his mattress, in his home, in his bed. Everything felt plain; he couldn't quite put a finger on when or why the world appeared to have lost all colour, but all there was was black and white.

"Lighten up," Kevin elbowed his side playfully, finding it all the more amusing that the happiest person in the room was all doom and gloom for once. "It's the first time we're all together like this in a while. Now," he smirked, "turn that frown upside down..?"

"Oh whatever," Sami bit down on the tiny smile that formed on his lips at Kevin's attempts to get him to crack and kept his eyes glued to the scene unfolding in front of them.

The bonfire idea had initially been Natties; she was a sucker for gatherings and meet-ups. And since Wrestlemania season had come to a close and they had their few days off to enjoy, she thought it would be best if they got the chance to meet each other in this kind of scenario rather than the usual oppression of having to go through live TV and officials breathing down their necks all the time.

"I'm gonna go over there to Ambrose and AJ," Kevin announced, "and you better get your act together before I have to beat you up."

Kevin didn't wait a second to hear what Sami had to say about that - really, Sami wasn't sure if he even had anything left to say. No quick-witted retort and no chuckle of appreciation at his best friends concern or wisecracks like there usually would have been, just silence.

Sami's eyes were drawn to the flames of the little fire they had managed to light up, many of his friends and colleagues sitting around it, their jubilant voices filling up the dark night. There seemed to be no purpose for him here tonight; no one for him to talk to and no one he wanted to talk to.

(It taken him only three seconds to realise he had spoken too soon).

"Sami!"

The orange of her hair was probably brighter than the flames of the fire, even with just the moonlit sky above them. A sight he felt lucky to behold when he turned around and saw her, hoodie hugged close to her body and the widest smile he'd never seen anyone else own.

"What're you doing sulkin around here all by yourself?"

He couldn't control the way his lips upturned. "Nothing. What're you doing all the way over here?" He asked, noticing that Charlotte and Bayley were much closer to the campfire. Sami's chest swelled with more mystery surrounding it than before when her grin somehow widened.

"Noticed ya from down there. Couldn't let ya be alone, now could I?"

And there it was, the hollowness somehow finding a way to let itself escape his body as she stood across from him now, in this moonlight. The only one who could steer his sinking ship back to shore, in her very neon green hoodie that made her fiery orange hair look sharper against it as the expression of hope in her green eyes screamed at him like it always did.

"You know, if I remember correctly," Becky continued, not letting them fall into silence. She averted her gaze towards the rest of their friends as she spoke (but Sami couldn't tear his eyes away). "You told me you'd take me to dinner soon."

"Oh, really? Did I?" The shyness in her tone and on her face brought a simper to his own.

"Yep."

There was a little less black and white now. "Do you think right now is soon enough?"

THIS IS SHORT AND SLOPPY! AND LATE!
I know and I'm sorry Vi & all the cuties reading but this is the best I could come up with because my mind has genuinely lost itself these days. I've been dying for inspiration to come superkicking me in the face but sadly, three months have passed and I'm still in a rut.

To compensate, here's some cute Finn Balor?

Forgive me?

I love you guys endlessly (especially you @Bloodsen) , please please comment some requests on the first chapter called "INTRO" I will try my levels best to give you lovelies what you want.

Thanks for putting up with me :')
