Could I make a request where Matt Jackson falls for a girl who is not his type at all? Maybe she’s not impressed by his antics? And Matt has no idea what to do? I need some vulnerable Matt!

Summary: Matt Jackson falls for a woman who does not fall for his usual gimmicks and he has no idea what to do.
Tyson - Kenny Omega ☆ Austin - Adam Cole
Matt Jackson's POV:
I could hear her before I even saw her. I can hear her laughter and then I see her walk around the corner, talking with Dante.
I can see the smile on her face. The same smile that can light up any room. Who can make anyone's day better with her just smiling at them.
A smile that usually turns into a scowl when I open my mouth and say anything to her.
I felt a hand clasp my shoulder and I looked over and saw that Nick was looking down at me, with one eyebrow raised.
"You know, maybe it is time to move on." He said to me as he sat down in the empty seat beside me.
"I have." Completely lying not only to him but myself.
"Pfft. You and I both know that is lie. You have done everything you can to get her to like you. Face it, it is time to move on."
"I have tried but something keeps pulling me back to her. I just know we are ment to be together."
"You said that about Dana and Chelsea." I just glared at him, wanting nothing more than to slap the bottle of water out of his hand.
"Maybe just be yourself." I gave Tyson a confused look.
"But I am." I told him. He shook his head no at me.
"No, you are being Matt from The Young Bucks. Trying to use your fame, just like you always have."
"But it has worked for me in the past though." I said to him, still confused on what he is getting at.
"Yeah and that usually works on people who you just want to have a one-night stand with. That isn't going to work on YN."
"I know I have tried." I looked over at YN once more and she was now sitting with Kris.
"Show YN who you are. Who you truly are. Not Matt Jackson, but Matt Massie." I sat there quietly repeating what Tyson has said to me.
Then it was like a light bulb went off inside my head. "I know what to do."
"And that is?" Nick asked me.
"You just wait and see." I told the both of them. I didn't notice that they looked at one another as I am now just too focused on the plan that I have forming in my head.

Well that all seemed to fail.
I bought her flowers and she would either give them to someone else or throw them all.
I sent her gifts and she would just hand them back to the delivery person.
I sent her cards with gift cards to a spa day. To the movies, hell even her favourite restaurants, but nothing.
Nothing I have been doing seems to be working on her.
"Maybe if you just tried talking to her." Austin said to me as I got yet another call from a place saying that YN did not accept the gift.
"I have tried."
"Have you though? Have you really?"
"Yes Austin." I said to him trying to keep my cool.
"I was there that day. You saw her, looked her up and down and blew her a god damn kiss. You introduced yourself and expected her to fall all over you."
"Well it usually works."
"Obviously not this time. I know you have talked to Tyson and Nick. Didn't Tyson just say be yourself?"
I sighed and nodded my head yes.
"Well stop sending her gifts and just talk to her. YN isn't the usual woman you fall for. She is different. Even I can see that."
YN's POV:
After turning away yet another delivery and gift, all I could do was sigh.
I wanted to get angry, truly I did, but I couldn't as I am just so tired of it.
"He send another gift?" Kris asked me from her spot on the bed. The two of us were having a girls day. Just watching some horror movies and enjoying some room service.
"Yeah." I said as I joined her once again.
"What was it this time?"
"Another Spa Day, but this time it also said for me to bring a friend along."
Kris slapped my shoulder and I yelped while rubbing the spot she hit. "We could of used that together."
"If I take one then he thinks it is okay to keep sending more. I want it to stop."
"Why not just give him a chance? Matt is a good guy."
"I can imagine he is, but he hasn't shown me that yet. I just want to see the real Matt you know? Not the one who always has to put on an act."
"YN, I know him. He just doesn't know any other way. He has always been like this."
"Then the guy he is showing is not someone who wants to be in a committed relationship and the only way I will go out with him if he stops pretending."
I went back to watching The Boy, trying to tune Kris out as I watched the movie.

After a few more days of stuffed being delivered to me and me turning them away, it stopped.
It finally stopped.
I felt like I could finally breathe again. No more strangers knocking on the door or stopping me somewhere to hand me yet another card or another box.
But after a few days of pure silence, there was knock on my door. I looked at it and contemplated answering it.
The knocking finally stopped and I heard footsteps leave. I looked through the peephole and saw that no one was there.
I opened the door and looked up and down the hallway and saw that no one was waiting around the corner.
I went to go back in my room when I heard something crunch underneath my shoe. I looked down and saw a single, beautiful red rose and a note attached to it.
I moved my foot off of the rose bent down to pick it up, opening the note.
YN, I am sorry for everything. Please meet me at 6 PM at the Potters Burger Bar to get to know the real me. ~ Matt.
I walked back into my hotel room and thought about it and I figured I should give him a chance.
One chance to see the real him. The restaurant he picked wasn't fancy, so I just dressed casual. Something nice but nor fancy at all.
It was 5:59 PM when I walked into the restaurant and I saw him sitting there in the corner, in normal looking clothes and looking very nervous.
The hostess took me back to him and he stood up and gave me a nervous smile as he looked at me.
"I didn't think you would come." He said.
Matt Jackson's POV:
"To be honest Matt, neither did I." YN said to me as I pushed in her chair. I quickly got back in my seat.
"I am glad you did. I have a lot to make up for." I was going to say something else when the waiter came over and took our drink order.
"YN, I am sorry for sending all of the gifts. I just wanted you to notice me."
"Matt, you are hard to miss, but you asked about me and sent me stuff you thought I would like."
"I know but in my defence that has worked with other women in the past."
"Well Matt, I am not like most woman." I smirked at her and I hope she didn't feel repulsed by me as I said, "Oh I know."
The waiter came back with our drinks and took our food order."
As we waited, we asked each other questions. Getting know each other.
I told her what my child hood was like. How my family is and she told me hers.
We found out each others favourite colours, songs and everything else you should ask a person.
The two were having such a good time that we didn't realise that the restaurant was practically empty.
I called the waiter over and paid for our meals, a long with a big tip as a thank you for not kicking us out.
"Want to go for a walk down the street? There is a bar that is still open." I suggested.
"Yeah, sounds good to me."
The two of us stayed at the bar playing pool and darts and eating bar food until final call.
We walked slowly back to hotel. We were on different floors.
Hers was before mine and I made sure to walk her to the door.
"I had a good time Matt." YN said as she turned to face me before entering her hotel room.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I did. I didn't want too but I went in with an open mind and I am glad I did."
"Well can I take you out again?" I asked hopefully.
"Yeah, I think I would like that. This time I get to pick."
"Deal." I said to her.
I was about to say goodbye when YN grabbed my shoulders and leaned in and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Sweet dreams Matt. I'll see you later." She said as she walked into her room and closed the door on my stunned face.
I felt like a teen all over again as I touched my cheek.
Who knew being yourself would actually work? Maybe people should listen to Tyson more when he gives relationship advice.
