SQUARE ONE, jey uso.

warnings: curse words, alcohol, implied sexual activities, mentions of depression, awkward moments

tags: 300 SPECIAL!!! afab reader, ocs to fit the plot, italics for flashbacks, slight angst, who wants to see jey suffer from love!! (not me)

SPECIAL TAGS: @saintsvenust (for prompt their ideas!!) and @glennsrealbae <3 thank u for always reading my fics

summary: i'll always come back to you

JEY uso was well known for his charms. with looks carved by god himself, tattoos decorating his beautiful tan skin, and a good reputation backstage; he was definitely everyone's dream man. a single man who was on top of his game, he had the world wrapped around his fingers. but behind those achievements and long title reigns, he was lonely.

the man was running away from the reality that he was all alone.

after dates with people he really wasn't interested in, he was back to square one; yearning and longing for his old partner. you left the picture not a while ago, due to the business of the superstar; he really didn't have time for you. being in the same industry yet having different positions meant that the two of you couldn't see eye to eye. compromising was hard since the two of you were hard headed in your own respective ways. so, jey was the one who broke it off and you couldn't say anything about it.

loneliness woke him up from his deep slumber. the other side of his bed being empty, you weren't there to greet him with your cheery smile and twinkling eyes. truth be told, he missed you. he missed having you to hold, to cherish, and to love–jey uso was a lonely man in a crowded world full of love.

"i'm sorry, i still have a meeting with creatives after my match." it was just another friday for him, to call off the date that he was going to due to him 'not feeling like going out tonight'. "oh, what about next week then?" his date replied. "not sure though, i'll keep in touch." yet again, another lie. jey ended the call as he entered the locker room with a tired facade. "ay, uce. trin told me you cancelled the date with jasmine? what happened?" jimmy immediately asked. "not feeling like it. sorry, uce. tell trin i'm sorry."

jimmy sighed in desperation. "you can't really ditch everyone we're setting you up with, uce." jey opened the locker, putting his bags inside–getting ready for his showtime. "i know, i know. maybe another time, i'm tired." the younger twin replied. "is it still because of (y/n)?" the question came up all sudden, making jey clench his fist. "yeah." he shortly replied. "it's alright though, maybe i just haven't found the right person." jey continued.

the entire roster knew about his relationship with you. when the two of you broke it off, everyone could feel the heartbreak roaming the walls. the hallways that witnessed your relationship bloomed, turned dark for him. his friday nights became lifeless and he wasn't feeling himself for the past several months. seeing his twin brother being slightly depressed over the break up that no one saw it coming, he was always trying to set him up with new people. and he was failing.

no one knew what went on inside his head when he broke it off with you. but everyone minded their own businesses, not wanting to pry on their coworker slash friend's love life. they couldn't help but to notice the shift in jey's personality. sure, he was still himself–but the light behind his eyes was replaced by nothing but emptiness.

with you being the head of the production crew didn't help him from moving on. the two of you often crossed paths, not being able to look each other in the eye and completely ignoring each other's presence. the tension was always present when the two of you were near each other. the break up took a toll on you too, but you tried your best to conceal it. you always wanted to be happy around your coworkers and friends.

so, there you were, on the other side of the arena–laughing at your staff's story. "you always have interesting family stories, felix..." you wiped the tear off your eye. "i swear, ms. (l/n), you'd love my mom." you only chuckled in response. "right, right. before we get too comfortable with our free time, let's go to work! felix, with talents, alex, you're in sound today, lily in cameras, and i'll be in gorilla with hunter tonight." the crew nodded. "you all got your earpiece?" you asked, earning a couple of 'yes' as answers. "okay, good luck. just yell on the earpiece if you need me!"

"anyone seen the new temp girl for kayla's replacement? what was her name? veronica, right?" you were walking down the hallways, trying to find the new crew. "i'm right here, ms. (l/n)!" the woman waved at you as she was getting her make up done. "ah, there you are! thank you for coming in in such a short notice, i heard great things from kayla and hunter. you reviewed the script right?"

"oh! uncle hunter told me that there was going to be some changes... i'm not gonna interview bianca, she has a photoshoot after her match so she's leaving early. i'm gonna interview the usos." you felt a pang on your chest. this situation reminded you of the first time you met jey too. "he said he texted you about the change of plans but you didn't reply." veronica continued. "damn, my phone is in my bag. okay, you alright with the change right?" "yep, i'm excited to interview them actually!"

showtime started and you were in gorilla position, looking at the monitors. "the usos are on their way to their position." you breathed out the cold air, trying to calm yourself down. "right, thanks felix." you replied to your earpiece. "here it goes." you heard footsteps coming from behind you as you tried to ignore his presence.

jey saw you focusing on the monitors, talking to the other crews through the earpiece. "switch to camera 6 for the crowd shot." he saw you eyeing him from afar and immediately looked away. "wish us luck, (y/n)!" jimmy smiled at you, feeling fired up for his performance. "good luck, jim!" you smiled at him, completely ignoring the younger twin. jey gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down.

the night went on and he was going to shoot an interview after beating the street profits tonight. jey hoped that you weren't supervising the interview or he'd be lightheaded just being near you. "let's go, uce." jimmy patted his back, dragging his brother to the hallways. the cameraman was already there and jey was looking around for kayla, only finding another girl in her position.

"hi, i'm the new temporary replacement for kayla. my name is veronica!" she smiled, clearly earning jey's attention. "hi! nice to meet you, welcome!" jimmy greeted her with a warm smile. "hello, hope we can be good coworkers." jey mimicked his brother's expression. "thank you, so can we begin now? i know you guys are tired, so we can wrap it up quickly!"

her cheery attitude as an interviewer gave jey deja vu.

"my name is (y/n), today i'm with the usos! we haven't seen them in a while, how are you guys feeling tonight?" you couldn't help but to notice that the younger twin was checking you out. the interview played out well and you were ready to clock out of work. it was your first month being the backstage crew and they put you out as a temporary interviewer due to lack of crew working tonight.

the interview finished and you were ready to clock out of work. "you new here?" jey's deep voice caught your attention. "not really, i've been here for almost a month! but i guess we haven't met yet since you just returned." your wide grin made his heart beat faster than before. "nice to see a fresh face here, i'm tired of seeing my brother." his sentence made you chuckle. "tell me about it! my brother is like a continent away from me but yet he still finds a way to annoy me!" that small talked bloomed into a relationship for the two of you.

"so where is kayla?" jimmy asked veronica as soon as the camera was off. "she's out for a few weeks, i think it has something to do with family business or something..." veronica replied. "damn, hope she's okay." the older twin added. "yep, me too!" jey was spacing out, not paying much attention to the conversation. "aight, i'm going to the locker room to grab my things. you still going to creatives to talk about next week's segment?" jimmy nudged his twin. "yeah, need to talk about the script." veronica's eyes lit up in excitement. "i'm going to creatives too, do you wanna walk together?"

and just like that. it was the same song on repeat all over again.

veronica's presence reminded him of you. they became friends and she really reminded him of your presence. soon, the friendship bloomed into something and jimmy couldn't help but to notice it. "see you walking around with veronica, damn y'all onto something?" jimmy teased his younger brother. "nah man, we're just friends." jey shrugged his shoulders. "sure about that?" he continued.

"actually, i don't know though. she's nice and all that, but you know i really can't... move on from (y/n)." jey muttered, taking off his shirt to get ready for his performance. "it takes time, but it's good that you're giving it a chance. proud of you, uce." jimmy smiled. "thanks. which reminds me, i still have her charger since she left it in my car." jimmy wiggled his brows, still teasing his younger brother. "shut the fuck up before i kick you."

the walk to the back office made jey question his intentions with veronica. he didn't know what happened but when he saw her, he thought about giving dating a second chance. but he couldn't help but to imagine you in her presence. everything she did, reminded him of you. the guilt ran inside his veins. he needed this. he needed to move on. but the thought of finally stepping away from loving you made his heart hurt.

then again, he was the one who broke your heart. he really didn't have the right to take back your trust. it was for the best, he kept reminding himself. now that he was settled with his run, he had no problems with his time management. he just wished the two of you pulled through together.

jey knocked on the production's office to no avail. was it empty? he thought as he opened the door. the sight of you being in front of your laptop surprised him. you were typing an email, but as soon as you heard the door being opened, you looked up. the two of you made eye-contact and no one said a thing. "can i help you?" your cold tone sent a shiver down his spine. "oh... uh... have you seen veronica?" you furrowed your brows. "she's with the camera crew." you shortly replied.

"okay," jey paused for a second, gathering his courage to talk to you. "so... are you busy right now?" he completely forgot about giving veronica her cable back. "as a matter of fact, i am. if you don't have any importance being here, you can go out." you glared at him, feeling annoyed. "i'm sorry, i just-" before jey could finish his sentence, the door was opened once again. "jey! hi! i was looking for you, you got my cable right?" even veronica noticed the tension in the air.

it didn't bother you. no, you were more curious than bothered. jey uso was finally talking to someone. of course, you heard whispers from the staffs that jimmy was always trying to set him up with someone new, but you didn't expect it to happen anytime soon in front of your own eyes. you still had feelings for him, but you couldn't do anything about it. he was the one who broke it off and you weren't going to fall on your knees, begging for him to come back to your life.

"are you friends with ms. (l/n)?" jey shook his head at her question. "i forgot you're new here but... we have history together." veronica nodded at his sentence. "i see... but the two of you are okay right?" she tilted her head in confusion. "sorry if that was a bit personal. you don't need to answer that." she smiled. "i'll just tell you when we go out."

he breathed out the cold air of december, trying to warm himself with thick black sweater. jey finally had the courage to ask veronica out on a date. he didn't know how the night would play out, but he prayed to god that it wouldn't end with him talking about you. he had several dates where he had his dates messaging either jimmy or trin that he couldn't stop talking about his ex.

"hi!" he spotted veronica sitting in the booth, waving her arms at him. jey smiled and walked to her. "hi, sorry was i late?" veronica shook her head. "no worries, i just got here too!" jey ordered his drinks and the two went on with their night. it was going well up until veronica brought up the topic that he was avoiding. "so... what ever happened to you and ms. (l/n)?"

jey was too intoxicated to switch the topic, causing him to blurt his feelings out. "i was so stupid," he took a sip of his drink. "i was struggling with my schedule and (y/n) was promoted as head of the production crew, it was hard for us to spend time together." jey continued. "i broke it off, not thinking through anything. i just wanted us to focus with our careers... but i realized what i lost." his eyes were brimming with tears.

"it's just so weird being without her... like waking up to emptiness and not hearing her laughter echoing in the house, it feels different." jey muttered. "i see her in the hallways, everywhere we go.. the new arenas and i still see her." veronica stirred her drink, listening to the man's sentences. "i was so stupid. i'm a grown-ass man but i still make mistakes like i'm a teenager."

"you still love her don't you?" she asked. "i'm sorry... i shouldn't really talk about her while we're here-" "no, no. you don't need to apologize. go to her, jey. explain how you feel. i'm sure she will hear you out..." and the next thing he knew he was standing in front of your house. it was 2 am but he really had to do it now. "good luck, let me know how it goes." veronica drove away, giving jey words of encouragement. it was a really bad idea, jey thought.

you yawned, rubbing your eyes. someone knocked on your door and you got a notification that someone was in front of your door. it was probably your neighbor's uber eats being lost again. "this isn't mr. alan's hou- jey?" you furrowed your brows in confusion. "what the hell are you doing here? weren't you supposed to be on a date with veronica?" "please, let me in first. i'm freezing my ass off." he slurred, clearly intoxicated.

he remembered your house like the back of his hands, putting his shoes in front of the stairs as if it was muscle memory. "are you fucking drunk right now?" you asked. "(y/n), i can't fucking do this anymore. i miss you so much. i was so fucking stupid, i can't go on dates anymore with people. i see you when i'm with them, please... i miss you so much." you were left speechless with his sentence. "calm down." you barked. "you're drunk, how did you get here? do you want me to call jimmy?"

"no, no. i- veronica drove me here. we were on a date but i couldn't stop talking about you, please (y/n). i miss you so much." your heart ached when you heard the words coming out of his mouth. "i don't know, i know i'm stupid but please..." he wiped the tear on his cheeks. "just... listen to me." you sighed in desperation, wanting him to stay quiet. "we'll talk when you’re sober, you need to get some sleep first because i don't want you to say something you'd regret." you took his hand and dragged him inside the guest room.

you helped him change his t-shirt and turned on the heater to warm the room. "now, i know we haven't talked in a while but i'm not an asshole. of course i'll take care of your stupid ass." you muttered. "thank you." jey whispered, not being able to open his eyes due to the alcohol in his veins. "get some rest jey, we'll talk when you're awake-" "can you please stay with me tonight?" and that night, you stayed with him, holding his hand until he fell asleep.

he woke up to an unfamiliar room. white walls surrounded him, but he wasn't home. jey’s head was pounding like crazy and he couldn't really tell what happened last night. but as soon as the man saw a post-it note on the mirror saying 'went out on a run, breakfast is inside the oven', he recognized your handwriting. "shit." jey muttered, flashbacks from last night replayed in his head. "shit." he repeated.

the shower woke hum up. he saw a pile of t-shirts near the bathroom, putting on his clothes that he left behind after the break up. jey heard the front door being opened and braced himself for the conversation. "oh, you're awake." "can we talk now?" you sat down in front of him. "about?" "us." you didn't have the energy to argue anymore. "what is there left to talk about, jey?"

you studied his body language. every time he was nervous about something, he'd bounce his right leg non stop. "i'm not gonna argue with you, jey. don't worry about it, i'll listen." you assured him. jey didn't have the courage to look at you in the eyes, but he had to. "i don't remember much about what i said last night but... whatever i said, it was true. (y/n), i'm still in love with you."

"i know we broke it off months ago because of me. i was stupid. i was so fucking stupid for letting you go." he confessed. "then why did you do it?" the question was out of the box. "because i was selfish." was all that came out of his mouth. "i was selfish thinking that i really couldn't have a relationship with me being busy and you being promoted to a high position. please, i know that sounds stupid as hell but i was really selfish." his voice died down when he saw your blank stare. "are you done?" you asked. "y- yeah." the man stuttered.

"you broke my heart, jey. you know that right?" you looked at him, his eyes screaming with regret and guilt over your sentence. "i know (y/n)," he paused for a second–holding your hands. "not a single day goes by that i don't think about you. i'm never one to regret my actions, but i made a mistake." he confessed, still not looking away from you. "i still love you, (y/n)." jey repeated. "but if you think that i don't deserve another chance with you, it's fine. i get it, (y/n)." something inside you was begging for him to stay.

but does he deserve a second chance? you thought. jey sat up from your couch, taking his leave. "i'm sorry for thinking that we had another chance with each other." you shook your head. "listen to me," you paused for a second–taking his hand again. "jey, i know damn well i'm still in love with you too. but a part of me is still unsure about all of this." you stated the obvious. "i'll give you the entire world to prove that i'm a different person, (y/n). i really can't imagine myself without you." the black-haired man muttered, not knowing what else to say.

"then let's start over again." you finally gave in, earning a confused look from him. "don't pity me, if you don't want to it's alright. i broke your heart-" before jey could finish his sentence, you pulled him into a kiss. "shut up, you were literally begging for me to take you back but but now you're doubting my answers. you're full of surprises, jey." you chuckled. "so we're back together?" "we are, but if you break my heart all over again, i can’t forgive you anymore.” he smiled at your sentence. “i won’t break your heart, baby. that’s a promise.”

when it comes to loving someone, jey uso would always come back to square one.

a/n: first time writing my story from jey's perspective, i hope you all enjoyed it because i did omg it was so fun writing this i'm trying to branch out from other povs to help me improve my writing!!! thank u for 300+ followers i love you all <333

“they couldve faded the sides” CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD BUT OMGGGGGG I LOVE THIS

Hiiii can I request a Jey uso X female reader where jey sees a post on social media saying reader is messing with Jimmy and it’s not true. But Jey still gets hot headed and stuff thank you ☺️

This!! I love this. I feel like I took this and ran with it- so please forgive me 🩷 a bit angsty :))

All over Twitter | J.U

Summary: Jey never liked how quickly he was bothered of something on social media, but he can’t help himself… especially when it comes to you.

Pairings: Joshua Fatu {Jey Uso} x fem!reader

Warnings: social media drama, delusions, arguing, cursing, stubborn!Jey, crying, bad angst (first time), rumors, mentions of cheating, not edited

Word Count: 1230

Ratings: Angst | 16+

———————————————————

Jey scrolling through his social media was starting to become a daily thing, especially since the Bloodline storyline was starting to pick up. As much as he hated how people depicted him and his talents based on the 30-45 minutes they saw him a week, he never reacted. He kept any bad energy they sent towards him to himself, and pretended like he didn’t even see it. That was until he came across a tweet that had to do with you and his twin.

The tweet had about 92k views already, and 40k retweets. It was a video of you and Jonathan meeting up late at night, hugging before entering a random building. There was no context about what was happening except the obvious comments of;

Nah imagine thinking your girl safe from your own twin 💀💀

I CANT- poor Jey 🥲💔

No cause what abt my girl Trin?!?!

That Y/n? Do she not know how Trin can get down…😬

He couldn’t help himself but to keep scrolling through the comments, looking for some type of reassurance that it isn’t what he’s thinking. Jey always thought he knew where you were and what you were doing, maybe he was too blind by a false sense of trust. “Y/n!” He calls for you from the living room.

Your delicate footsteps making their way downstairs to the man sitting on the couch, you couldn’t help but smile at the gorgeous man in front of you. “Hi Baby.” Your lips plump and glossy as always, wearing Jey’s shirt with your little shorts. He looks away as he can feel himself getting flustered by your appearance, remembering the things he just saw not even a minute ago.

“You want to tell me anything.” His voice deep and stern before he lays back against the couch, your hips swaying a bit as you go to sit beside him.

Your freshly groomed eyebrows now in a confused furrow, “I like your haircut… I mean they could’ve faded the sides better but—” Jey’s head immediately snapping towards you.

Going silent as he rubs the side of his hair down before adjusting himself in the chair. “It’s cute!” I reassure as a small smile forms Jey’s lips before the smile drops quickly. “Appreciate it but that’s not what I’m looking for.” His eyes boring into yours, uncomfortably. Your hands starting to fidget together under his intense gaze, shaking your head ‘no’.

A loud sigh coming from his mouth as he picks up his phone, Twitter immediately popping up on the screen. “Look.” He hands you the phone before crossing his arms aggressively, your eyes falling onto the dim screen. Playing the small clip of you and Jon, not understanding the big deal until you scroll down to the comments.

A small scoff leaving your mouth as you go speechless by all the assumptions, “Those people are so miserable.” You hand the phone back before looking at Jey’s serious face.

“So, it’s the people now? Not the fact that you and my damn brother sneaking around at night?” He sits up almost giving himself whiplash. Feeling your heart drop at his demeanor, you couldn’t believe that the man you left everything and everyone for is accusing you of. “Joshua. You’re kidding…” Trying to understand what he’s getting at, this had to be some type of prank.

April Fools was a couple months ago though, and we did forget about it. “This is a joke. Ha-ha so funny babe.” A sarcastic laugh leaving you forcefully as you notice Jey’s gaze not changing.

Noticing the deep breaths, he’s taking is starting to concern you, “I’m not joking, are you screwing around with my brother? My twin at that.” He speaks calmly. Your eyes going wide at the audacity, “Joshua. Don’t be fucking delusional- if I was going to cheat do you really think that I would go to your twin brother?” Your voice high-pitched unintentionally.

His head shakes before wiping his hands on the edge of his knees. Jey loves you too much to believe this, he knows you wouldn’t, you couldn’t do that to him. Something subconsciously is saying otherwise, the fact that he no longer knows where you were and what you were doing is making him upset.

“Do you know how fucking embarrassing this is for me. To find out that you going behind my aback through social media.” He says out loud, hands rubbing down his face in a stressed manner. “I didn’t go behind your damn back! They’re clearly just making stuff up.” Your voice in a defensive tone,

Jey’s gaze on you turning into disappointment making your heart drop. His heavy footsteps leaving you in the living room as he goes upstairs assumingly to your bedroom.

The tension surrounding you, sitting in the now quiet room alone. Heart racing and head spinning, you felt like you were going to cry at any moment. The fact that he wasn’t listening to you just hurt worse, never did you think that complete strangers would have that much of an impact on you and Jey’s relationship.

The loud slam of a door snapping you out of your trance, “Joshua! What are you doing?” jumping from the couch and heading up the stairs quickly. His figure passing by with a suitcase, not bearing a glance towards you. “I’m going to stay the night with… well damn I don’t even know because I can’t go to my own brother!” Jey shouts before throwing the suitcase onto the bed.

He always tended to be overdramatic especially in disagreements, but never to the point where he was leaving. “You’re fucking crazy! Nobody did anything, it was clearly taken out of proportion. Stop acting like that!” You could feel the tingly feeling of anger starting to spread through your body. “Y/n, then what the hell were y’all doing? Because I didn’t even know about you going to see him? He didn’t tell me either!” He shrugs his shoulders as he waits for your response.

“I- nothing! We weren’t doing anything.” You stutter knowing that he can’t know the real reason you were meeting with Jon. Not liking the answer, he heard, he goes straight to the closet and starts ripping shirts off the hanger, “I’m so tired of being second place. So tired of looking like a fool! You say you weren’t cheating but you can’t even tell me what you were doing?” His hands flying as he shouts angrily. Going completely speechless as you watched him continue throwing things into the suitcase, chest heavy, before breaking completely.

Tears streaming down your face uncontrollably, this is ridiculous. Multiple solutions rambling through your head as you stood behind the fuming man. “I can’t tell you. But I promise I wouldn’t cheat on you.” The words practically forming together as you can barely speak while trying to control your breathing. Jey turns around to see you looking like a complete wreck, his eyes softening.

“Then imma go until you can tell me. Simple as that.” He says as he zips up his suitcase, your eyes looking in a panicked manner as he grabs his wallet. “Joshua! Don’t you think this is a bit dramatic?” You sniffle as he rolls his eyes at you.

“Hell yeah. But rather be dramatic than sitting and looking like a fucking clown.” He exits the room without even looking back.

TY OMG… i love u 🫶🫶🫶!!!!

hii, It’s possible to get an jey uso x reader where reader is a very confident wrestler who openly flirts with jey all the time and makes it know to the whole wwe universe that’s her man when they’re not even together. jey laughs it off because he thinks it’s all for the cameras till reader stops flirting with him and ignores him because she thinks jey doesn’t like her like that. jey realizes that he does like her and now he has to chase her now

REALITY, jey uso.

warnings: curse words, pet names

tags: FLIRTY (Y/N) FOR THE WIN HELL YEAHHHHH, afab reader

summary: you will never know what you have until it's gone

IT was well known that you were head over heels for the man sitting down next to you with a beautiful smile plastered on his face. every single person inside this building knew that you were practically in love with him. it all started as an inside joke with the creative board that they were going to pair you up with none other than the main event, jey uso. but you caught real feelings and it wasn’t for the show anymore.

he was everything that you have ever wanted in a boyfriend. kind, funny, and most importantly–he was patient. you loved him with all of your heart. “you look handsome.” you winked at him. “thanks, how do you like my new hair, (y/n)?” “beautiful as always.” you grinned. “you’re such a flirt.” jey chuckled, opening the door for you. “hey, i only flirt with you, baby.”

you fixed his mic and he helped you with yours. “ready?” “yep!” you were going to shoot a video with him on your day off. “the undisputed tag-team champions are here! this is (y/n)!” you introduced yourself to the camera. “jey uso right here and welcome back to playback!” he continued the introduction. you were shooting a youtube video with him today. “we’re gonna watch one of our best matches ever… god, this was life changing! my man and i against becky and seth.” you narrated the fight.

"that stomp was so devastating." you cringed at the memory. "got my ass complaining backstage." jey added. "right! i felt my soul flying as soon as his boot connected with your neck." you shuddered. "my man takes all the bumps and i have to take care of him backstage. countless medic dates with him." you nudged him with your elbow. "but i still love you." you snickered. "yeah, yeah. she takes care of me a lot."

“and… cut!” you immediately stretched out your body, still feeling sore after yesterday’s workout session. “looking pretty tired, mama.” he patted your back. “still have the energy for tonight though.” you were going to help jey unpack with his furniture, he recently moved to your neighborhood. jimmy and trinity were also going to help, the 4 of you were a pack, even after trin left the company. “should i buy you a housewarming gift?” you suggested. “it’s such a shame you moved before us getting married! you could’ve moved in with me, hubby.” you teased him. jey just shook his head in response. "whatever you say, mama."

several crews were paying attention to the two of you. “are they married?” one of them whispered. “oh, you must be new here. nah, (y/n) just likes to flirt with him.” the other one replied. even the staffs knew that you were always attached to the hip with him. people were practically wishing that the two of you would end up together. “come on, baby. let’s go. trin is spamming me with messages.” you intertwined his hands with yours. “yeah, yeah. we’ll go now.”

you picked up a box, putting it down in his living room. "i can't believe we're neighbors now!" you were practically jumping with excitement. "i mean... i think it was about time that i moved, that apartment was falling apart." jey chuckled, remembering his old place. "and lucky for me to have my hubby near me." jey ruffled your hair. "hey, don't touch my hair!" you pouted. "yeah, what are you gonna do about it?" "i'm gonna fight you." you threatened him in a joking way. "bring it on." that commenced the play fighting you had with him.

"okay, maybe we came in at the wrong time." jimmy opened the door, seeing you on the floor with jey. "hi guys!" you greeted them with a smile. "what were you doing?" trinity put the cake on the counter. "fighting him like usual." you had jey on headlock, causing him to groan. "i swear if we weren't acting on stage, you could actually beat my ass." he sighed. "let's get to work so we can eat cake!" you grinned, letting go of his head.

trinity and jimmy knew that the love you had for their little brother was pure. but jey uso was just unaware of that. he'd brush it off, acting as if this was all a long-running joke. "okay, i think i'll take my leave now. i have to call my brother tonight." you announced to your best friends. "oh, you're not staying here?" jey tilted his head. "i'd love to have a sleepover with you, hubby! but i can't, i'll stay over next time. bye!" you went over and kissed the top of his head, only causing him to chuckle.

once you were out, jimmy shook his head. "swear no one loves you like she does." "nah, it's just a best friend thingy. she doesn't love me like that, dawg." jimmy and trin groaned in unison. "whatever you say, man."

friday came by and you arrived early to run some lines with jey. the two of you were going to cut a promo together, building up for a match against sami and kevin. “hiiiii!” you greeted him, walking into the locker room. “hey.” he replied with a smile. you couldn’t help but to feel butterflies in your stomach. “soooo,” you paused for a second, taking a seat next to him. “are we gonna kiss tonight?” jey rolled his eyes in a joking way. “you’re always trying to kiss me, mama.” “maybe that’s because i like you and i think you’re pretty.” you winked at him.

“the undisputed tag-team champions, jey uso and (y/n) (l/n)!” as usual, you were walking hand in hand with jey, your belts hanging off the your left arm. “let’s go, let’s go!” you hyped yourself up, taking in the energy from the crowd. “ay, ay! miami, we are in your city!” jey yelled to the microphone, lifting his finger up, playing out the script. “hiiiiii everyone!” you greeted the crowd with your usual cheery tone, earning a ‘hiiiii’ from them. “right, right. it’s about to be brutal for sami and kevin, i love their asses but they attacked my man last week! i’m gonna make it personal.” you played out the part.

jey was standing next to you, fully paying attention to you. he loved how you were so passionate about your work. especially your role. he thought that your flirty act was part of the joke, so he was used to you flirting around. but jey never thought of it being serious. with the gimmick you played out together as boyfriend and girlfriend, he grew accustomed to your flirty nature.

“damn, what a promo we did.” jey jumped on the locker room couch, feeling tired. “you did great babe!” you teased him. “and you look very boyfriend-ish today with your outift.” you added, winking at him. “i don't get it why you still flirt with me, it's so funny to me that you still play out your roll when we're off stage. that's very funny to me, i respect your dedication, (y/n).” he chuckled. his sentence made your heart drop.

your felt a pang on your chest. oh… oh, you thought. you didn't say anything. "you're riding with me right?" you shook your head. "actually, i think i'm sitting with bayley, she was trying to tell me something earlier." you lied, still trying to hold back your tears. he thought you were just messing around this entire time and that hurt your feelings. "oh, okay."

thankfully, you spotted bayley coming out of the locker room with iyo and dakota. "i need help." you muttered. "you looked stressed out, what's up?" she raised a brow. "can i just ride with you guys?" the women immediately knew that you were trying to avoid someone. "our bus is always open for you, babe." dakota patted your back.

jey didn't spot you on the way back to the bus. "anyone seen (y/n)?" he asked his coworkers. "she went with bayley, their bus left like 10 minutes ago." bianca replied, not looking up from her phone. "oh." jey took a seat on the back of the bus, alone, of course. "weird seeing you not sitting with (y/n)." montez added. "this is my first time not riding with her in years." jey admitted. it does feel weird, he thought. but like usual, jey immediately brushed it off, plugging in his headphones, not wanting to think about anything.

the night felt long to you. you sighed, brushing your wet hair as you felt a pang on your chest, replaying the conversation from earlier. “hey gir- are you okay?” trinity picked up the phone, clearly concerned about your current situation. “are you with jimmy?” trinity shook her head. “jey thinks i’m just joking around babe, isn’t it obvious that i am in love with him?” trin immediately understood your sentence. “i’m sorry, babes…” she sighed. “whatever, i guess. i’m being dramatic. i don’t want to deal with him.” you wiped the tear stain on your cheek.

“maybe i should just distance myself, trin. yeah… i'm not going bowling tomorrow.” trin smiled at you, pity plastering her face. “you know what’s best for you, babes. i’m here if you need to talk okay? i’ll even beat his ass if you want me to!” that sentence made you chuckle. “you don’t need to do that trin… i guess i’ll just watch some sad movies. good night, i love you.” “i love you too! let me send you some ice cream!” as soon as you sat down on your couch, you heard your notifications going off.

jey!!: still up for bowling tmrw with roman and the others?

jey!!: i’ll pick you up if you want to

jey!!: hellooooo?

jey!!: damn did you pass out or something?

jey!!: aight text me when you wake up good night

he furrowed his brows, waiting for you to respond. it had been a day and you still haven't replied. “(y/n) didn’t reply all night, you know where she at?” jey asked trinity. “nope, she didn’t reply to me too. think she’s out cold.” trin lied, trying to keep your secret. “damn… she loves bowling. i guess i’ll take her next week.” trin wanted to roll her eyes but she just nodded.

jey was walking alone in the arena. you didn’t reply to his text messages and it felt weird walking alone, not having you near him. “I’VE BEEN SAYING LIKE… THAT SHIT WAS SO FUNNY!” he heard your loud voice, decorating the empty hallways. jey immediately smiled and went inside the locker room, expecting you to jump in his arms, hugging him. the two of you hadn’t seen each other in a week and he missed your positive radiant energy.

you didn’t realize that he entered the locker room, you were still laughing with bayley over some dumb incident that happened weeks ago. “(y/n)! where have you been?” jey greeted you. this time, the hug he was expecting wasn’t there. all he saw was your smile dropping and a simple wave. “anyways, i need to go get ready for my interview, see you bayley.” you walked pass him. after closing the locker room door, he heard your laugh again. “iyo! hi, missed you!”

that was weird, jey thought. but he brushed it off as usual. sure, you had your days where you were not your usual self, but this was all new to him. you never ignored him before. showtime came and you were going to come out with him like usual. jey was already in gorilla position, waiting for you to come. “where were you?” he asked, clearly confused. “i was with iyo.” you shortly replied, not looking at him. “are you okay?” jey furrowed his brows. “perfect.” your music started and you immediately took his hand like usual.

“you killed it, mama!” the segment ended and the two of you walked back to the hallways. “thanks.” once again, you shortly replied. before jey could say anything, you walked to the bathroom, avoiding further interactions. you really didn't have the energy to talk to him. you loved him but he didn’t feel the same and you were still in denial about it. so you chose to push him away–despite wanting to hold his hands like usual, you couldn’t.

“anyone know what’s wrong with (y/n)?” jey entered the bloodline's locker room, earning glances from his faction. “what do you mean?” roman asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. “i don’t know, she’s ignoring me and my texts.” jey sat down on the bench, feeling all confused. “she asked me what tie i was wearing so we could have matching sets.” paul joined the conversation. she even replied to paul, jey thought. you hated replying to the old man’s messages because it would end with a long paragraph about taking care of your own health. something was definitely wrong.

practice day came and jey was in front of your house, waiting for you to come out. you didn’t pick up his call and replied to his messages, but he was still going to pick you up like usual. his train of thought was cut off by his phone ringing. “dude, where are you? everyone’s here and we’re waiting for you!” sami’s voice was loud and clear. “i’m waiting for (y/n), in front of her house right now.” “what do you mean you’re waiting for (y/n)? she came here with roman like an hour ago. they’re warming up.”

“okay, i’m here now!” jey saw the entire faction, sami, and kevin waiting for him. “shit, (y/n). i didn’t know you went with roman, could’ve replied to my texts or calls.” jey complained. he was expecting a snarky or sarcastic reply, or even a flirtatious respond, but you only nodded at his sentence. “sorry.” you muttered. “you wanna go now?” sami asked you. “sure!” your tone switched when you replied to sami.

you got into the ring with sami, practicing the choreography. jey watched you from the side, puzzled with your cold behavior at him. you were all smiles when sami accidentally tripped over your foot. “come on, get up!” you chuckled. “sorry, sorry! it was my fault.” sami replied, pulling you up from your current position. “come on, (y/n)! you can do this.” you looked at jey and didn’t respond, only focusing on hitting a punch on sami’s shoulders. “wanna tag me in?” jey jumped inside the ring. “just wait a bit, i was having fun with sami.” you stared at him with a deadpanned expression.

“did i do something wrong?” jey finally asked the question. “no?” you raised a brow. “then why are you acting cold to me, (y/n)?” you shrugged your shoulders. “nothing is wrong, jey.” you never said his name after you gained feelings for him, it was always cute pet names like ‘baby’ or even ‘hubby’. but hearing you say his name, his chest tightened a bit. “just tag in,” you paused for a second, slapping his hand in a quick motion. “i’ll be with kevin in the ring next room if you need anything.”

"good practice guys!" you smiled at them, not paying attention to jey, who was still in the ring. "alright, let's go, you haven't packed right?" roman spoke up. "yeah, thanks for reminding me. let's go home!" you nodded. "you're not riding back with me?" jey spoke up. "no, i came here with roman." "you know his house is like a 30 minute drive from ours right?" he raised a brow. "and? he offered to drive me home, jey. do i see him complaining?" you stared at him. everyone felt the tension surrounding the two of you. "okay, okay. calm down." solo patted your back, completely diffusing the situation.

roman definitely knew what was going on. "so, you broke up with him or what?" he asked. "no... we weren't even dating, uce." you sighed. "but why the hell are you acting all cold to him?" you went over the story of how he thought you were just joking around. "damn, that man really needs a reality check." roman said after you finished your ranting. "maybe he just doesn't like me and i'm trying too hard or i am just being dramatic." you sighed. "nah, (y/n). we all know you love him, just don't be too hard on yourself."

jey ended up riding with jimmy. "you look pissed as hell, what's up?" jimmy asked, munching on his food. the two brothers were in a random parking lot, eating their feelings out. "(y/n) has been very cold to me. i don't know what i did." he sighed. "what do you mean by that?" jimmy furrowed his brows. "she never replied to my texts, she doesn't flirt around with me, avoided every interaction, she's not touchy, and overall... it feels weird without her." jimmy smacked the back of his younger twin's neck.

"are you fucking serious?" jimmy groaned. "what?" jey gritted his teeth. "bro, do i really need to be the one saying this to you?" "just say it." jimmy sighed. "she's in love with you, bro. do you think it's all an act? she's been in love with you since day 1. i know it's all for the gimmick, acting out as boyfriend and girlfriend," he paused for a second. "but she's head over heels for you. what the fuck did you say to her to make her act distant?"

then it hit him. "i laughed it off. i told her that she could drop the act since the cameras weren't rolling..." "i swear if you weren't my brother, i'd beat your ass right now." jimmy rolled his eyes. "now, do you love her back?" that question made jey drop his phone on his lap. do i love her? he thought. jey had never felt so comfortable with anyone but you. jey loved seeing your cheery attitude, he loved the way you could light up the room with your laugh, he loved the way you were always there for him, and he just realized that he loved you.

"shit."

jey breathed out the cold air of december. he was in front of your house, carrying a bouquet. it took him only 5 minutes to walk to your house as you were neighbors now. he knocked on your door, waiting for you to open it. his heart was beating faster than usual as he tapped his foot in nervousness. "wait a bit!" jey heard your footsteps. you opened the door, seeing him with a smile on his face. "yes, how may i help- jey?" "i'm sorry."

"what are you doing here?" you furrowed your brows. "just... hear me out," he paused for a second. you crossed your arms, listening to him. "i'm sorry." he repeated. "for what?" you barked at him. "i'm sorry for not taking you seriously, i should've realized that you were in love with me and i was blinded by the fact that i thought it was an act..." your cold persona dropped after hearing his sentence. "i'm sorry that i brushed it off." you sighed.

"thank you for apologizing. i know that you don't see me the same way, i'll just stop the way i act-" before you could finish your sentence, he dropped the flowers and pulled you closer. jey kissed you and you were over the moon. "i love you, please don't ever ignore me... i'm sorry, baby." he apologized once again. "you love me?" you looked up at him. "i do." his sentence made you smile. "sorry for ignoring you, i thought that would make it easier for me to stop loving you." you admitted. "please don't ever ignore me again, i could literally die without you." he kissed your forehead. "i'll bother you until the sun burns out."
