The Shield - Bodyguards (II)
Part One
You’re never have been happier in your whole life.
Yeah, of course that you really got a serious scold from your family, not just because you’re dating a wrestler, after all Triple H was your brother in law, but you’re dating three of they. You guess the poly relashionship was the problem, after all, not that you even care. You’re they, and they are yours, nothing is going to charge that.
At first, you’re not used with all the contact, you have dated before but now you got yourself with three boyfriends, that demands attention and lots of patience. Everything keeps pretty much the same, they just are really touchy and over protective now, Sometimes you have to stop they from fighting over small stuff like “You kissed Y/N more than one time.” and stuff like that, that just make you love those dorks even more.
Dates always end up in an adventure, you’re never sure how the night would actually ends... Well, partly, you’re sure in the end you’d be between they in the bed, dressed or not. But usually when you all go out, it always can end up in a bar fight, with Roman or Seth protecting you while the other two beat the crap out someone that disrespect you, running away from a few cops after Dean pranks, between many more you don’t ever with to come up with. Sometimes you wish you could watch a movie or go to a nice restaurant without it ends up in something else, but hey, you’re dating the Shield, there is no ‘normal’ here.
Now, you’re pretty much used to it, you know how to deal with they, and most importantly, how to please they. You’re used with their little things, how Ambrose likes to be touched, how to calm him down when his past ghosts comes up. You know when you need to pay attention at Seth, because he’s not the one to really show up his feelings and intentions, so you need to pay close attention to find out what is up in his mind, how to get him to let you in. And of course, you know how to make Roman feel more than just a brute force hound, you two are always having small conversations about it when alone, he’s scared that you thinks so as well, he’s scared to the public boo him for him, of course, everyone loves Seth and Dean but him? They just love him because he’s part of the Shield, without it, what he is? There is so many things in Roman that he keeps for himself, he don’t even talk about that with Dean or you, and when he start talking about it you know this is hurting him. You just make him feel loved and wanted, if Dean and Seth is around, they’s making sure Roman will not thinks like this so early again.
You just got to spend some time with Seth at gym today, of course you’d watch his amazing job, kissing him when he comes up and saying how amazing he’s doing, running your hand through the two toned hair, putting they back in place. “ Don’t push yourself to hard, you know. “ You whisper at him one time, he rested one hand at your hips as he drinks the water you handed him. “ We don’t want you hurt. “
“ Relax, little boss. “ He kissed your forehead with a grin, he looks at your for a moment, you’re just distracted enough to don’t notice the small hesitant expression on his face. “ Hey, are you... you know, happy with me? “
“ What? “ You look up, Seth face don’t really gives you why he’s asking that, you titled your head to the side. “ Of course Sethie, why do you ask? “
“ I mean, you’re closer to Dean and Roman more than me sometimes, I was just wondering. “ He commented, making you smile a bit as you reach his face and bring him closer for a gentle kiss.
“ That’s not true. “ You told him, bitting his bottom lip softly. “ Are you jealous of they? “
He huffed a bit, shaking his head as he pulled your body against his. “ Of they? Nha. “ He told you, strocking your cheek. “ Sometimes I just miss you, I feel like they are getting everything you know? “
You nod, kissing his jaw softly. “ You can tell me when you feel like this, ok? It’s not my intention... “
“ It’s not yours, it’s their. “ Seth cut you off, making you frown a bit, and he groan, regretting let it out. “ It’s... nothing, ok? You’re fine, you’re perfect, you’re mine. “ He kissed you gently every word, you smile a bit, just pulling away for a moment.
“ I love you, ok? “ You told him, watching him nod, you smiled, perking his lips beafore telling him he better go back training, after all RAW is tomorrow night.
You’re backstage with your sister, you are telling her you’re a bit worried about Seth and what he told you yesterday, that just make him a bit wary of Dean and Roman when you two come back hotel, Stephanie try to clam you down, but you can notice the hint of annoy in her eyes, you simply don’t get why, anyways you ignore it, must be for some other reason, you sighed and just lay down your head on her desk, feeling as she gently caressed your hair.
“ It’s going to be fine, you know? It’s just... a phase. “ You simply nod, not really aware about what this is actually means.
In the following weeks things got a bit worse and better at the same time, Seth is a bit bitter with Dean and Roman due they keep losing at shows and events, you need to stop Dean and Seth to get in each other throat most of times. Roman would start to shove Seth away not gently, if you don’t know him better, he would for sure punch Seth face. But at the same time, when they calm down, everything looks ok, in place, Seth would mumble a sorry and Dean would just pull him group hug, saying his grumpy mood is not getting you all apart.
They are having a PPV soon, and you’re sure they are winning this time because Hunter let it out in dinner with out family other day, but you can’t tell they yet, so for now, you’re all just chilling in the couch, watching some really bloody movie, you and Dean teasing Roman when he simply look away, mumbling that this is simply so gross. Seth would be at his phone from times to times, even if he keeps up in messing with the big dog, that until he groan a bit and stood, making the three of you look at him confused.
“ Sorry, mom’s in town and I forgot. “ He told, making Roman and Dean look each other before nod at him, a bit in doubt but they are sure Seth would not lie about this, not about family. You nod after a bit.
“ You want us to tag along? “ You asked, reaching your hand at him, he gently picked and placed a kiss on it.
“ Nha, I’ll just get her a hotel, we can come up with a meeting later, ok? I’m sure you don’t want to meet mama Rollins right now. “ He mused, making you all chuckle. “ See? Roman and Dean know. “
“ Right! She’s so mad when angry. “ Dean gestured, making claws with his hands and tickling you softly, causing you to giggle as you shove his hands away. “ Go there, brother. “
“Be back soon. “ He waved as he walked out, grabbing the car keys. You watched him go, lots of doubts running around your mind, Seth have been... A bit more self-centered those days, even in more intimate times. You’re sure something is messing with him at this point, you’re just not sure what this is. You’re pulled back when Dean called for you and you turned at him.
“ Hey sweetheart don’t burn your brain out thinking about that. “ He told you, pulling you to hist side as he warped one arm around your shoulder. “ Our ninja boy wouldn’t lie, ya know? “
You sighed looking at Roman, he nod after a moment, Dean was right about this, so you quietly nod too, Dean grinned, patting your head as he reach the remote and put the movie back on.
Evolution was gone, your men was all hyped because of that, they have been unstopable after Payback, you never saw they getting so well along in some time, but here they are, even Seth is along with his brothers, teaming up with they once again, and that makes you happy, making sure they have a good time once you all got back in the hotel room, this caused you don’t really be able to wake up early as you sually do, not that you’re not used with that, but they do had so much energy on it. You groan softly, turning in the large bead, just to notice you’re alone as you try to each at any of they, you frown, apening your eyes.
There is a small note telling you they are going gym, RAW today was going to be important as Roman is main event and the samoan wants to make sure he’s ready. Along with a ‘Love you’ and they signs. You put it back down, smiling to yourself.
When you fianlly got up, you got a call from your dad, he’s asking you to tag along Stephanie today, you don’t even question that, there is no reason why. You agreed beafore calling at your sister, asking her to pick you up at the hotel, you make sure to call Seth and let him know that you’re going to be with her until the show is over, after his ok, you went to take a shower and get ready, it’s already lunch time after all.
You and Steph are talking about random things, just having lunch in a nice restaurant you both liked, having traveled almost all the world, you both know places to go.
“ Hey, you ever thought about what if you had to chose one of they? “ She asked you after a while, and you really got cautch at surprise by that, frowning a bit. “ Just a question, geez. “
“ No I... I know. “ You chuckled, moving your food a bit nervous. “ I try don’t thinks about that, Steph, it’s don’t soudns right, I mean, it’s like picking a favorite. “
She nod after a moment, watching you. “ But you do have favorites, huh? “
“ I-It’s not like that, ok? “ You mumbled, looking at her as you reast agaisnt your seat and look out the window. “ I love they, it’s just... I don’t know if I can go and pick one as favorite,yeah I like doing somethings with one of they more than with the other, but that’s not like I have a favorite. “
“ Whatever you say, Y/N. “ She gently told you. “ But you know, this will not always be a fairytail. “
You quietly nod, listening your older sister, she’s not wrong but you can’t come up in say she’s right, you don’t want to.
“ C’mon, let’s get going, we hava a show to run tonight. “ She offered, seeing you nod once again as she called the waiter.
You’re not really watching, you’re most listening as you’re filling some paperwork, you liked to work in booking and stuff, and you got a thing for that, yes, you’re not booking the big matches and neither can make the show go off script, but ou always try to book the right matches. You listen to Roman proming, and smiled, he usuall goes all show quiet, so fianlly they are giving him the mic. He called Orton then, and don’t even take much to his song blast out, but you hear when they talk about Triple H. That make you stop and look up.
Why is Hunter there? Sure, he’s part of Evolution, but why? You crossed your arms and rested agaisnt your seat, eyes glued at the screen in front of you.
“... There's always a plan B “ He said, and you watched the smirk growing in Randal face, that send shivers down your spine, there is something wrong, you moved as the camera pointed to your men, they look at each other, Roman and Dean step ahead, ready for the attack when your eyes can’t follow this, you can’t process when Seth turned with the chair in his hands and hit that on Roman back. A loud ‘no’ escaped from your lips as you stood, shaking a bit.
What’s that? This don’t even makes sense!
Dean turned to him, looking between Roman and Seth as he charged at the two toned, just to also get hit and go straight to the ground, Seth keep hitting, and you feel it like this is on you, quiet tears roll down your cheeks.
You’re not sure what to feel right now. You have been as much as betray as they.
Beacause that don’t looks like Dean and Roman got this on their scripts. because they don’t know this was going to happen.
And you don’t know this is going to happen.
Seth looks so angry doing so, angry with his brothers, not with himself, looks like he have been wanting to do that for some time now.
Steph walked inside, lookin at the TV then to you, she quickly turned it off just when the chant started to chant ‘you sold out’. She hold your face, you have so much expression mixed right now, you just looks in pain, angry, confused and scared.
“ It’s ok. “ She told you, just to you slap her hands away from you, backing off. “ Y/N, it’s just business... “
“ They are my partners, Steph! “ You snarled at her, trying to wip off the tears. “ It’s not ok! It’s not just business! Roman and Dean are hurt! Seth betray us all and-- I-- “
Your sister watched you, sobbing and cursing mess, you can’t believe it.
“ Come on, let’s get you something to calm down, you can talk with they later. “ She held your wrist, keeping a firm grip on that as she takes you away from this all, and even if you’re also angry with her, because she know that probably, you can’t voice it right now, there is no way you can put the words in order.
You spend the night with Dean and Roman in the medical facility, they are as broken as you, they don’t really understand what is happening or why did Seth did that, and right now, they don’t even want to see Seth, you can make it your opinion too. You’re not sure how to react at Rollins right now.
Maybe it’s better like this, some part of you tells you, he breaks the SHIELD, and he breaks everything you all had.
And you keep trying to shove it away, but everything you need to help Dean to calm down so they can take care of his back, or when Roman calls for you just to make sure you still there for they, you’re sure that this part of you was right.
You had no idea about your father and sisten plans for this, if they hopes you side with Seth or something, but you’re making sure they knows what you thinks, and sooner than they can imagine.
You all avoided Seth and Seth avoided you all during this week, yeah he tried to call you at least, but after you ignore him for three days, he gets the message, It’s RAW tonight, and you’re siding with Dean and Roman as they get ready to go into the ring. You’re very well dresses, agreeing in making part of this storyline and making your debut at WWE. Vince and Steph are still trying to go in good terms with you, but you’re still giving them a hard time. they even had to ask Shane to make you actually pick up they calls. You demanded your father to explain himself, and yes they have plans to break the SHIELD but Rollins picked it to be in a whole new level, a personal level.
The universe knows you, you have been in backstage segments many times with yout siblings and father, somethimes with the SHIELD, but they are going to see you tonight in the ring, and proming, in your Y/N McMahon character for the very first time..
You watched when they both walk up the ring, once they song comes up and the staff gesture they to go, and you listening to they doing their promo.
“ But you know what, Rollins? “ Dean gave a really insane grin, keeping the mic closer. “ We’re not the only ones you let down. “
With that, your theme blast, you take a deep breath, listening to the universe go crazy out there as you walk in when the staff gesture it’s ok to do so. You keep your character, giving just a few polite smiles but keeping your face emotionless, Roman helped you into the ring, you gave him a quiet nod as a thanks.
Dean bow a bit and open space in the middle of the ring, they both passes around you as guard dogs when you bring the mic closer.
“ That’s a really warm reception, guys “ You smiled at the universe, but it vanishes soon. “ It’s a shame it’s not the best terms to my debut, but there is no better time, huh? “
You took a deep breath. “ I would love to talk with you guys about how much I was happy in doing it in the side of the SHIELD, but that’s not likely anymore. “ You stared at the camera, there is so much anger in your eyes. “ Rollins, you know what you did, you know what you destroyed, and you know that there is no turn backs. “
Dean jumped in the ropes by your side, narrowing his eyes at the camera.
“ And you know, because you promised me, nothing would hurt me. And guess what? You did so, you did so last monday when you SOLD OUT and betrayed not just your BROTHERS but ME. “ The universe chants along with you ‘seth sold out’. “ And that’s why Rollins, I’m making sure to make your life, a living hell. “
Roman comes at the other side and get int the ropes as hell, when you drop the mic and make your way out as they both look around.
It’s all over now.

11 ~ I’m Good On That
Kingston
"I'm good, I’m working out the issues as I go. I’ll be fine......I think,"
I hadn't been sitting in the beige couch for an entire minute before the words spilled from my lips. Time wasn’t on my side, I had somewhere else that I needed to be. Somewhere else that my soul seemed to be drawn to in the past few months. Plans that I slept on, prayed on, and finally this morning in one of the most mysterious ways ever, I received the answer I had hoped for.
Being out of New York in the middle of a case was like a suspect walking through the crime scene. Yet, now that I was gone, I had to get everything under control, because once I was back. New York was too on my list of uncompleted duties for more reasons than one.
My sessions with Dr. Singh would be cut short, but for understandable reasons. Reasons beyond my control, in a way, and I was okay with letting this learning method go. But I did have a suggestion.
“There's someone who I think could benefit off your wisdom more than I could. If I can, say so."
"No issues with referrals, if the person is willing. I'm more concerned about you right now though, Mr. Vitale."
“I'm good."
“You think?" He questioned, Dr. Singh’s eyes on me.
He was waiting on me to strike back, for my attitude to be defensive and naturally I was ready to defend myself. What I didn't take to note was he was ready to corner me in because those were my words, being used against me.
“I don't have the need to come anymore,"
"Because you're concern with someone else's well being." His words cutting me off mid-sentence, but most importantly, he wasn’t questioning me. Dr. Singh was certain.
What I didn't enjoy about therapists was the fact they seemed to figure out their clients from the moment both parties sit down together. The issue with that is, Dr. S couldn't figure me out if I brought him the finished canvas of my mind. But Chrissie? Oh, she just needs guidance and she knows me. Better than he could ever think, so if he wanted to still help “me” along the way, this was the true chance of doing so.
“Chrissie," Leaning back in the seat, I pulled the lime green Nike wind-breaker hood over my head, closing my eyes from the harsh lights now irritating me. "I've talked about her before. She's been through some things in her life. Plus, me on top of everything else. I think it'll be better if she got everything out on the table. And you helped her."
“Does she know you're volunteering the services, Kingston?"
“No. I don't know how to tell her."
Nodding, Dr. Singh closed the notebook beside him, rubbing a hand over his face. The man was aging the more I opened my mouth.
“I'll be willing to help anyone, Kingston. Including you. There's a lot of issues that you too need to overcome. Regardless of your job and the laws behind it; let me help."
"Eventually. Right now, I have other things to do and Chrissie needs you more."
———
There was a slight breeze in the air. The sun was out, the southern heat not giving up just because it’s in the culture not to.The wind only caused chills to run down my spine, the jacket I wore covering my arms and face as I approached the infamous tombstone.
My eyes wondered the writing aligned it. Every time it seemed fake, but I knew better than to believe it anymore. Back when I was a teenager, I would've killed anyone that force me back here after my father buried her. Those days of planning almost turning me away from even attending the damn funeral. I know that, had my mother's death been proved a murder instead of suicide; Stephen would've provoked it even more. Just so he could get his cut of the money from her insurance. Sometimes I feel like she killed herself to protect not only her life, but her life-long earnings from the monster she married.

December 22, 2003
“I don't give a fuck! Put her in a damn pine box. It's not like she can tell the difference, Sherry." Then the phone slammed down on the marble material of kitchen counter.
The commotion from my father's yelling and the slamming of objects like phones and doors was enough to awake me from the nightmare I was captured in.
All of which are the same. That last exchange of words between my mother and father before he stormed out the house. They argued about his lack of time management and care for the fact he had a family here, waiting for him. Stephen has always been this way. For all my life and I turned seventeen at the top of the year.
Each time her last words to him playing through the dream. The words she would take to her grave forever.
"Fuck you, Steph. Everything I've done for you and you can't spend a little bit of time with me. How much can a woman ask for? What do I need to do? Suck your dick for some love or attention? How about your son? Don't you love him? I swear, sometimes I wish I could watch from my grave to see how far you can go without me. Cause, Steph, you won't make it. Never."
The only issue with my dream is after a few days Dad is back home like normal, instead this time it isn't her that pulls the trigger as he steps into the house. It's Stephen that does so.
As I walked the grand stairs of the now gloomy Druid Hills mansion, my eyes rack over to that area. I can see the tint of the deep red color still staining the expensive Persian rug. Dad hadn't cared to clean a spill of it. If it wasn’t for me and detectives moping it up, the house would smell of my mother’s blood still today. The man didn't even flinch when she pulled the small .410-gauge gun from under her silk robe. While he seemed numb, my entire body went into a moment of shock. Mom had been up like normal. Moving, dancing, laughing and singing to me. She cooked my favorite breakfast. Grandmother's famous buttery breakfast casserole Italian dish, strawberry and whip cream pancakes, bacon, and her home-made Orange-Strawberry blended drink. It had been weeks since I last had it. There was even enough for seconds of plates to go around. Matter a fact, I had just cleaned off the stove of her leftover containers last might. My tears and cleaning solution getting me through the job. I should've known when the sound of Dad's keys jingling in the door lock caused her tensed something wasn’t right. Her pearl gray eyes staring at me as she nodded for me to head upstairs. She never liked for me to hear the arguments they had. The one from a few nights ago was because of my own needs to hear.
I had been walking away with the intention of leaving them alone, when it dawned on me I had left the perfect way to take my mind off them, my drink.
By the time I was reaching for the glass, I watched silently as mom reached into the pocket of her robe and pull out the weapon. I didn't even know where it came from, but there she had it. No words left their mouth, but low mumbles filed out the room from mines. I hated my father for what he done to my mother, but I didn't wish death on anyone. Everyone had a right to live and try again. Even this man. It wasn't until she pointed the silver demon object to her temple that I realized it wasn't for Stephen. My mother was eliminating herself from the situation.
My screams and pleas for her stop and look at me, fell to deaf ears as the gun ranged off and her body fell to the floor. Her burgundy robe soaking most of the blood that spilled around her head.
“What are you doing, Kingston?"
I snapped out the four-day memory, coming eye to eye with half the reason I'm standing here. And honestly, one of the main reasons I maybe next to spill blood for this family.
"Nothing. Mike's playing ball, I'm going to head out."
“You tell me what you gon' do now?" He had the right to ask and as his child, I had no choice, but to respect the rules he had written for his home.
In this household you respect your parents, regardless of what kind they were. Stephen says it's because: "They kept you instead of killing you or giving you away to some stranger That's respect worthy."
"I had already asked....." Shaking my head, I shrugged, looking him in the eyes.
Master of your emotions.
“You wanna be with the FBI, son? Assassinate some people on the shit list? You ain’t no white man, but that's even better. You got school, you graduate in whatever major you want, but you come home to fight and kill for your country’s order."
“I guess."
Stephen's change in subjects caught me off guard, but I was so behind with caring about where life went after this, I didn't care what job I had after this tantrum finally played out.
I wasn't big on killing innocent people, but if it got my mind off my mother and the fact her ghost could still be lurking around. I’ll do it.
"Go out with your boys. We'll talk about it later."
It hasn't been a full week after my mother's death and Stephen was clearly moving on with his life.
This is exactly why she said fuck it.
—-
The flowers slipped from my hands, falling on to the granite grave site and my eyes went to the sky, nodding in acceptance once again as I built up the courage to walk away from here. One day; it won't be as hard. The day will come, but no therapist is going to force that shit out of me. Chrissie can have it, if she accepts it. As for me?
The only thing I had was time.
