{5} Roman Reigns (Part 2)

It had been several months since you first convinced Roman Reigns to join forces with you and Paul Heyman; and, you had to admit, you really liked working with him. Since he joined, the two of you had only grown closer to each other, and you had both only grown in your careers. It was fun working with him and Jey Uso.

Just as you had promised Roman when he first agreed to join Heyman, you and he worked closely together. You were there, ringside, for almost all of his matches; and, he returned the favor, supporting you at almost all of your matches.

Jey Uso also accompanied Roman to your matches, and whenever you would claim a victory, they made sure to let the world know how proud they were of you. On the other hand, if you lost a match or if someone hurt you badly, they terrified your competitor so that they wouldn't want to fight you again. You found it cute how protective they were of you; and, you swear you've never seen Paul Heyman so proud.

"Oh, come on!" you groaned as the episode you were watching came to an end. You were currently sprawled out on Roman's couch, eating popcorn, watching your favorite TV show. "What's wrong?" Roman asked as he came into the room.

"I hate cliffhangers," you stated, throwing another piece of popcorn in your mouth. Roman chuckled as he grabbed the remote and popcorn from you before moving your legs so that he could sit down on the couch next to you. "Hey! I was comfortable!" you told him, readjusting your body on the couch.

"You're also eating all my food," he said, eating some of the popcorn. "You're the one who said I could hang out here whenever I wanted," you countered, reaching for some popcorn; but, Roman moved the bowl out of your reach. "I never said you could eat my food though," he said with a smirk, keeping the popcorn away from you."

"You're rude," you told him, trying to reach for the popcorn again but to no avail. Jey suddenly came into the room with a smile on his face. "What's up, lovebirds?" he asked, sitting down on the chair across from the two of you.

"What do you mean by that?" Roman asked Jey, distracted just long enough for you to steal the popcorn back. "Have you guys not been looking at Twitter lately?" he asked, making you and Roman both look at him confused. Jey chuckled a bit as he pulled out his phone, while you ate some more popcorn and looked at Roman. Roman playfully rolled his eyes at you while you ate the popcorn as Jey said, "Read the comments."

He handed Roman his phone, and you looked at the tweet that Jey pulled up. It was on the official WWE page and it was a picture of the three of you. The caption read:

The top dogs of WWE are making it big while supporting each other every step of the way.

You smiled at the caption and then began reading the comments.

What is wrong with Y/N and Roman? It's clear they like each other! Why doesn't Roman ask her out already?

Y/N and Roman's romance gives me hope.

Twitter needs to start a campaign to get Y/N and Roman together.

Every single comment on the tweet was like that, and the more you read, the more you blushed. Luckily, Roman was blushing just as much. Jey laughed at both of your expressions as Roman tossed his phone back.

"Where did they even get that idea?" Roman asked, clearing his throat, trying to hide his blush. "My guess is Heyman. He's been secretly rooting for you guys, going up to other WWE superstars and asking them for help to get you guys together. Makes sense. If you two hook up, Paul would probably get a raise," Jey rambled on.

While Jey was talking, he missed the awkward stares that you and Roman were giving him, silently pleading with him to shut up. While it was true that you had feelings for Roman, you didn't want the entire world talking about it. You and Roman just sat there silently, not knowing what to say.

When Jey noticed that you two were still just sitting there, he said, "No one's pressuring the two of you to get together or anything...but, maybe you should give the fans what they want. They could make merch and maybe you two could cut in on it."

Jey meant what he said as a joke, to try and lighten the mood and alleviate the tension, but all he did was make it ten times worse. When it got too awkward for you to handle, you quickly got up and said, "Okay, well, it was nice chatting with you two. I'll see you later at the match." And, with those words, you left a stunned Roman and a snickering Jey as you quickly went back to your own room.

Your mind never left the idea of you and Roman together, and the more you thought about it, the more excited you got. But, you had to quickly snap your mind back into reality. Roman has never made any move or tried to tell you he had feelings for you; and, until he did, you didn't want to get your hopes up. You two worked together and the last thing you wanted to do was ruin your work relationship. So, you calmed your mind and changed into your ringside clothes, getting ready to go support Roman at his match.

You met up with Jey, Roman, and Heyman about an hour later and the four of you walked to the gorilla. "Good luck out there tonight," you told Roman, just as his music began playing. Roman smiled in thanks and then walked out to do his intro. The fans in the Thunderdome began making noise as soon as they saw him. Some were cheering, some were booing, but that's what you get when you're the bad guy.

After another moment, the three of you walked out behind Roman, before accompanying him down to the ring. You made yourself comfortable as Roman stood in the ring, awaiting his opponent - King Corbin.

Corbin's music began playing and he started walking out of the gorilla, making his way to the ring. He jumped into the ring, and a moment later, the two of them started fighting. You watched anxiously as they both got some heavy hits in. The fight was very back and forth, and every time Roman hit a move, you cheered him on. Meanwhile, Jey kept looking for every opportunity to mess Corbin up.

After a long match, Roman played his card carefully and was finally able to hit Corbin with a spear. Corbin went down, hard, and Roman quickly moved to pin him. One. Two. Three. You jumped with excitement as the bell rang declaring Roman the winner.

Corbin rolled out of the ring, hobbling back to the gorilla while you, Heyman, and Uso stepped into the ring to congratulate Roman. Before you even had time to process what was happening, Roman crashed his lips onto yours, pulling you into a deep kiss. You were stunned, unable to move or think. The cheering of the crowd at Roman's move was so loud that it was overbearing. But, you were finally able to start thinking clearly again and moved into the kiss.

Roman pulled away a moment later, and the crowd was still going wild. The announcers were talking about the kiss, making you blush, but Roman embraced it. Meanwhile, Jey and Hayman were standing next to you, just as shocked as you were.

After a few more seconds, Roman led the three of you out of the ring, the crowd still cheering, and back into the gorilla. As you all made your way back to Roman's room, some of the other superstars were whistling at you and Roman and cheering, which only made you blush more. Finally, you reached the door to Roman's room. He opened it but didn't go in. Instead, he turned around and looked at Hayman and Jey. "Give us a few," he stated. Jey nodded his head as he led Paul away.

Roman looked at you before moving and allowing you to go in first. You were nervous to talk to Roman after that kiss, but you walked into his room and sat down on the couch. He chose to sit down on the chair in front of you, reminding you of when you came to offer him the job position with Hayman the first time. "I'm sorry," he said softly, dropping his gaze from you to the floor. "For what?" you asked. "I should have asked first before kissing you, and I shouldn't have put you on the spot like that. Jey got into my head," Roman explained, looking a little guilty.

You nodded your head in understanding before saying, "It's okay." Neither you nor Roman were sure what to say next so you sat in silence for a moment. That silence only made your mind start to race, and among the thoughts, there was one specific question that you kept asking yourself. Did Roman only kiss you for the fans? Maybe that's what he meant by 'Jey got into his head'.

You didn't want to ask him, but you needed to. You owed it to yourself to know the answer. "Roman, did you only kiss me because of the fans?" you asked him. A small blush appeared on his cheeks before he confidently returned his gaze to your eyes and said, "No."

Your heart began to speed up as he continued, "After you left earlier, Jey started talking to me about the idea of us. He made me realize that I had feelings for you and that if I didn't make a move, I might lose you to someone else. But, I shouldn't have made my move in front of everyone like that."

You took a moment to process what Roman had said before moving towards him and pressing your lips on his. Roman quickly responded to the kiss, pulling you closer to deepen the kiss. You ran your fingers through his hair, as he pulled you onto his lap. When you broke away to breathe, you both had a smile on your face.

"Think of the merch!" you heard Jey yell through the door, making you and Roman laugh. "He's right though," you teased. "Y/N and Roman Reigns. The Power Couple of WWE," he joked, making you smile. "I like the sound of that," you replied, before kissing him again, knowing that the two of you would in fact be 'The Power Couple of WWE'.
