| ~*~*~*~* She smiled slight when he didn�t look up when she entered. She watched him silently while he taped his wrist. When he finished one he looked up at her before beginning the other. She laid her hand over her stomach, futilely trying to smother the butterflies there when he smiled at her. �Didn�t know heels know how to smile.� She said lightly. He shrugged lightly, the smile turning into a smirk. �Who�s your match against?� she asked. �Christian and I vs. Test and Stacy. He answered solemnly. She clasped her hands together tightly, her eyes widening at the thought, watching his shoulders tense before her eyes. She sat down in a chair near him. �I thought you enjoyed being a heel.� She asked quietly. Jericho sighed heavily he tore off the tape as he finished his wrist. �Talking trash, cheating, getting to crowed to boo me is . . . part of the job.� She brushed a strand back from his face, �The part you enjoy.� She reminded him. �It takes a lot of effort and talent to get them to go against their natural instinct to love me.� He said smugly, smirking slightly. Because she could feel the unsaid, �But . . .� He ran his hand through his hair, channeling the frustration he felt. �Beating up on Diva�s is not my idea of a good time.� Jericho rose from the chair to pace the floor in front of her. �That chair shot a few weeks ago . . . .I can�t believe how real that looked. How real it could have been. If she�d not stepped right. Stacy is too inexperienced in the ring. That move could have easily gone wrong.� He snapped, his hands tightening into fist. �But it didn�t.� she reminded him. She knew he had been terribly upset when he�d had to have a dangerous spot with Stacy before �Stacy did her part well. She did exactly as you told her. And you were very careful.� Jericho nodded as he stared at the floor, �I just don�t know what the writers are thinking when they have us hitting women. Hunter and Austin nearly destroyed Lita a couple years ago. There was no reason for it. They had just beat Matt and Jeff unconscious, they could have easily . . . just held Lita, while Stephanie threw her weight around. They were ultimate heels at the time, that wasn�t even in question. They did it for ratings. . . .reactions . . . .who the hell knows what!� She watched as the range of emotions played across his face. �Now they have me picking on Stacy. At least Lita is a wrestler. She�s trained to take bumps. Stacy�s in ring experience is limited to valet and a couple of gimmick matches.� She listened quietly while he continued to pace and ramble. �They want me to put her in the Walls of Jericho tonight.� He said tightly. �You�re not going to hurt her Christ.� She assured him firmly. �You know to do that move without hurting her. You�ve done it with Lita.� She reminded him. �I know.� Chris acknowledges. �It�s just . . . I�m supposed to be feuding with Shawn. The crowed knows I�m the heel, why do they have me beating up on poor Stacy!?� he growled. She watched when he stopped in front of his bag, putting the tape away. �I think I�d rather go back to laying down for Hunter, than beating up on women.� he added hotly. When he didn�t speak again she rose from her chair, walking over to him silently. She took his fasted hand in her own, uncurling his hands to link fingers. She smiled when she felt his grip tighten around hers. Jericho lifted her hands pressing them against his lips, he kissed her fingers lightly. She raised her eyes to meet his when she felt his staring. �What?� she asked smiling brightly. �Austin�s not here tonight baby. That�s next week.� Jericho replied. She narrowed her eyes marginally, mock glaring at him, as she swatted his arm. Jericho laughed lightly, leaning forward kissing her lips lightly, before resting his head against hers. She raised her hand, touching his cheek, �You feel okay?� she asked. He sighed heavily, letting out the breath slowly, he nodded. �Yeah, I . . . just get so frustrated with these ass clown writers. Thanks for listening to me vent.� She smiled brightly, �That was venting?� she asked innocently. �Sounded pretty standard. I thought you were working on tonight�s promo.� Jericho smirked when she merely smiled, �I think I�m becoming a bad influence.� �Probably.� She replied. Jericho raised his hand to her face. He gently traced a finger lightly across her bottom lip. She smiled again as he continued to slowly trace her lip, staring intently, a shiver running down her spine. �You need . . .the show is going to start soon.� She stammered. Jericho smirked as she squirmed timidly. �I�ll see you later?� he asked almost shyly. �After the show.� She agreed. ******************************************* Jericho released the hold on Stacy when he saw Shawn running down the ramp. Making his way around the ring, he glanced back to see if Stacy was okay. Nodding slightly when she signaled she was fine. He made his way around the ring as HBK super-kicked Christian to the outside of the ring. As he shouted insults and glared at HBK his eyes caught hers across the ring. She was trying to hide the smile behind the microphone in her hand. Hoping the cameras had gone to commercial he quickly winked at her, trying to control the grin when her smile widened. As he reached the top of the ramp, he grinned broadly, ducking behind the curtain, the memory and warmth of her smile still in his head. The woman simply made every frustration seem petty when she did that. Every loss, every bump hurt a little less. The frustration at the too many unpleasant things he had to do to poor Stacy seemed to ease away. Lillian had been the main reason he�d switched to RAW last year. He missed that smile she gave him when he entered the ring after being announced by her. She was his ray of sunshine when she smiled - when she smiled at him. |
| Spoilers: RAW - 2/24/03 Summary: uhhhhhh, *brain leak* Note: Ridiculously short. My second attempt at both main characters being WWE. Blame this on listening to the 80�s station day and night. This song wouldn�t go away. Slight blame falls to Karen and her story, �Frailty�. That�s where the idea came from. |
