Valentine's Day Wade is back again this year <3
Summary: The reader makes it her mission to get Wade to ask her out for Valentines Day.
Valentine's Day has conveniently landed on a Friday this year. Which means your favorite British commentary man will be working with you tonight. And you plan on making sure he doesn't leave this arena without you.
"Wow, YN. Who are you getting all dolled up for?" Mia comments on the extra time you're putting into your hair and makeup tonight. "You got a hot date tonight?" She asks you.
"Not yet, Mia." You reply with a grin and continue blending out your foundation. "But I don't plan on leaving this arena alone tonight." You add in a determined tone.
Mia walks over to you with an intrigued look and sits down next to you so she can do her hair. "Oh? Who's the target?" She asks you. "Austin Theory? I see him eyeing you up all the time. Or what about his buddy Waller?" She suggests.
"Think older, Mia." You giggle and grab the blush off the table in front of you.
"Ooo, older, YN?" Mia coos. "Let's see..." She starts searching for a name. "Huh, are there any older guys on Smackdown that aren't already married?" She asks you.
You nod and gloss through your lipstick options. "Mhm." You humm. "He's tall, handsome, is a sharp dresser, and has a sexy accent." You drop a few clues.
"Corey Graves?" Mia takes a guess. "Wait, no. He's married to Carmella. And no accent." She corrects herself. "Hmm, I don't know."
You laugh at Mia's frown and finish up your makeup. "Corey was a close guess." You cut Mia some slack. "It's Wade. Wade's the one I'm after tonight." You give her the answer.
"Wade Barrett?" Mia replies. "Oh! Yeah, that makes sense." She nods the more she thinks about it. "Wade is kinda hot. yeah."
"Kind of?" You laugh. "Mia, he is so sexy." You correct her. "I swear it's like he's asking me to jump his bones whenever we see each other before the show." You groan to yourself.
Mia laughs and shakes her head. "Alright, girl. Keep it in your pants for now. When are you going to make your move?" She asks you.
"I was going to sit at commentary while you're out for your match with Shotzi." You explain. "You know, flirt a little, drop a few hints during commercials."
"Alright, smart." Mia nods. "Well, I guess that I better hurry and get ready then. We've gotta get you a man." She giggles.
Mia walks off to get changed and you fit your hair up while you wait.
The time comes for Mia's match and you head out with her since the two of you are normally tag partners. Mia climbs into the ring and wishes you good luck as you head toward the commentary table.
"Corey." You greet Graves first with a friendly smile.
"Oh, it looks like Mia's tag partner, YN, will be joining us for this match." Corey nods to you before glancing down at his notes.
You walk around the commentary table towards Wade and he jumps from his seat to get you a chair. Barrett pulls a chair up as you reach his side of the table and offers it to you.
"Ever the gentleman I see, Wade." You flash Barrett a stunning smile and sit down. "Thank you."
Wade nods and frees up a headset for you to use while Mia's match is underway. You pop the headset on just as the bell rings for Mia's match.
"So, YN, how do you feel about challenging Asuka and Kairi in two weeks for the tag titles?" Corey asks the first question.
"I'm feeling confident as usual, Corey." You answer his question. "Asuka and Kairi are both tough women. But they are going to be no match for Mia and I's raw strength and passion."
Corey nods and goes back to providing play-by-play on the action in the ring. A commercial comes on and you take the opportunity to turn to Wade.
"I love the pink tie, Wade." You comment on the baby pink tie hanging from Wade's neck. "Very festive considering the holiday." You grin at him.
"Thanks..." Wade nods and instinctively glances down at his neck. "You look lovely as well." He pays the compliment back.
The smile on your face grows and you nod. "Thank you. I wanted to dress up a little for the holiday. Just in case I score a date." You add, subtly nudging Wade's chair to gain his attention.
"You don't have a date, YN?" Corey chimes in from the other side of the table. "That's surprising."
"Is it, Corey?" You snark. "Tell me, do you have a date tonight?" You ask him.
Corey rolls his eyes, knowing full well the game you're playing. "My date is at home with our son." He reminds you.
"Right." You nod and turn back to Wade. "What about you, Barrett?" You ask him. "Surely a handsome guy like you has a date?"
"No date." Wade shakes his head and the show comes back from its commercial break.
You smile to yourself as Corey starts recapping what went on in the ring during the break. 'He's got no date.' You think to yourself. 'I've got a real chance now.'
Another commercial rolls around and you get right back to it. "So no date, Wade?" You ask him again. "Like Corey said earlier, now that's surprising." You bat your eyelashes at him a few times with your most charming smile.
"Yeah..." Wade nods and stares at you for a minute.
Mia picks up a win against Asuka and you're forced to wrap up your conversation with the commentary team. You get up from your seat and nod to both men. "Well, that's my cue to leave. It was a pleasure talking to both of you. Especially you, Wade." You wink at Barrett. "Until next time, boys." You wave and walk off.
You walk up the ramp with Mia and head back to the locker room. Once you're both safely tucked away behind closed doors, Mia jumps you for answers.
"So? How'd it go?" Mia asks you. "I heard you spitting game from inside the ring." She giggles.
"I laid all the groundwork I could, Mia." You give her a hopeful shrug. "Wade seemed kind of into it. So we'll see."
Back out at commentary, Corey turns to Wade when there's another break.
"Wade, man. Was it just me or was YN hitting on you the whole time she was down here?" He asks Barrett.
"I believe she was." Wade nods.
Corey agrees and twirls a pen in his hands. "So, you're going to ask her out right?" He asks. "Because she did practically everything but get on her knees and beg, man." He chuckles to himself.
"I don't know," Wade replies. "Isn't YN a bit young for me?" He asks Corey.
Corey shrugs and turns toward his friend. "She didn't seem too concerned about the age gap." He points out, "Look, Wade, do you like YN? Think she's pretty?" He asks Wade.
"Well, of course." Wade nods. "Who wouldn't? She's bloody beautiful if you ask me."
"Then go find her after the show and take her out," Corey replies. "Pay for some drinks and a nice dinner. Then take her back to your hotel room like a gentleman and screw her brains out." He teases Wade with a grin.
Wade whips his head around and glares at Corey who just laughs. Wade grumbles something to himself under his breath, but Corey doesn't let up.
"You know you want to." Corey eggs Wade on.
Later in the night, you are just about to call it quits and head back to the hotel with Mia when someone knocks on the door. Mia laughs as you nearly trip in your haste to answer the door.
"Yeah?" You crack open the door as casually as possible. "Oh, hi, Wade."
"Hey, YN." Wade looks down at you leaning in the doorway. "You mentioned earlier that you didn't have any plans tonight, right?" He asks you and you nod. "Right. Well, it'd be a damn shame if a girl like you went without a date tonight. So if you'd like, I'd love to buy you dinner." He asks.
You nod while internally screaming to yourself. You did it! "Yeah! Dinner sounds great, Wade." You smile at him. "Just give me a second to grab my bag and jacket."
"Alright." Wade nods and watches you shut the door on him.
Barrett leans against the wall and waits for you to come back out to meet him. As he's waiting he barely makes out the sound of two girls squealing in delight and he can't help but smile to himself. You come back out into the hallway a few seconds later calm and composed. But Wade knows better.
"You ready to go?" Wade asks you.
"Mhm." You eagerly nod.
Wade nods and offers his arm to you. You giggle and take it before the two of you walk off. "Right this way then, love." Wade leads you off, Corey's comment swimming around in the back of his mind.
It is Valentine's Day after all. So why not?
