#blackpool combat polycule

Bryan can feel Yuta’s eyes on him despite being locked up with Mox in the training ring, cringing slightly when Mox elbows him while he’s distracted. “Focus Wheeler!” William calls out firmly. 

Mox and Yuta break apart and Yuta nods to William. “Yes Lordship, I’m sorry.” He mutters before they lock up again.

Bryan watches, throwing in his own two cents as the fight goes on, cheering when Yuta gets Mox on the mat and pins him. They praise and clap him on the back before William sends him to take a shower and sends Claudio into the ring with Mox. 

Bryan follows Yuta to the bench and smiles, sitting beside his younger lover. “You did well, I’m proud of you.” He claps him on the shoulder but raises an eyebrow when Yuta snorts and shakes his hand off. 

“I don't need your acceptance." He mutters, unlacing his shoes.

"Then why do you want it so badly? I saw you looking to see if I was watching, that’s why you have that bruise forming on your face.” He chuckles but realizes that was a bad idea. 

“Yeah? Maybe I’m making sure you got eyes on me and not looking for the next young boy for the BCC.” He growls out, throwing his shoes toward his bag and standing. 

“Woah hey, talk to me Yoots; what’s wrong? I thought we were past this?” He asks, grabbing Yuta’s shirt before he can storm off and pulling him back down. “Talk to me about this.”

Yuta swears and sits down rubbing his face. “I’m sorry-.” He whispers softly. “Danny- he’s posting all this shit about missing things and looking back on past mistakes and I-.” 

Bryan frowns as he looks away, so he moves to squat in front of Yuta to be able to see his face. “And you-?” He tries to coax out the answer gently and smiles when Yuta looks at him.  “And those feelings came back up of me wondering if I’m not going to be enough down the road.” Yuta mutters with a blush forming across his cheeks. “It’s stupid but I wonder if I’m going to lose you again.” 

Bryan clicks his tongue and grabs Yuta’s chin to tilt his head up. “That will never happen again and I’m sorry that you’re still hurting from my mistakes.” He places a soft peck on Yuta’s lips. “Just please stay?” Yuta whispers. “Promise I’m not going anywhere Yoots.”

Mox gets to the mansion late, coming home from Japan, and smiles when he sees Claudio and Yuta laying on the couch. Claudio lifts his head and smiles at him.  “Sorry, were you sleepin’?” Mox mutters softly. 

“No, Yuta wasn’t feeling well but wanted to wait for you, so I offered to stay and lay with him.” He whispers back as he looks down at the young man lying on his chest and rubbing his back.  Mox raises his eyebrows and comes over to feel Yuta’s forehead. “He does feel warm;” he realizes, “come on, let’s go to bed and let him rest.”

Mox tries to help Claudio get up slow enough to let Yuta stay asleep but he wrinkles his nose and wakes up with a groan. “Mox?” He asks groggily.  “Yeah kid, just got home so let’s go to bed and get some sleep, okay?” Mox smirks, holding his hand out to pull Yuta up and hug him when he stands.  Claudio stands and waits for Yuta to sleepily pull away from the hug before scooping him up in his arms. “I’ll carry you.” He chuckles as Yuta tries to struggle. “Claudio-.” Yuta protests but Mox cuts him off.

“Yer warm puppy; be a good boy and let Swiss carry ya ta bed.” Mox mutters firmly, walking ahead of them up the stairs so he can open the bedroom door and pull back the covers. 

Claudio lays Yuta down and quickly lays beside him so he can lay on his chest again and Mox can hug against his back. “I’m glad you’re home safe with us Mox.” Yuta grins into Claudio’s chest.

“Me too puppy, me too.” Mox rasps into his ear. “Now sleep, I love y’all.” He chuckles, kissing the back of Yuta’s head before relaxing to sleep himself.

Title is from Lovesong by The Cure Thank you @booboo-eyedbambi for helping me by asking for this, I hope you love it 😘

Bryan massages his temples as he lays on the couch in pain, keeping his eyes closed so the sun won’t make the migraine worse. He had already taken his pain medication, hating that the pain was so bad he had to use it, and he told the others to go ahead and go train while he relaxed.  He hears the door and groans. “Claudio, I told you I’d be fine; you should be making sure Mox doesn’t teach Wheeler to kill someone with a fork.” He whispers.

“I do believe our terror on the rise is already doomed to that fateful lesson.” 

Bryan’s hand falls away and his eyes open to the British voice, regretting it when the light hits but he doesn’t care. “Will, what are you doing here?” He asks softly as he tries to sit up but is stopped by a wave of William’s hand. 

“Jonathan called me and said you were feeling poorly. My days are quite flexible, so I switched things around and came home to you.” He grins as Bryan watches him move to the kitchen and hears him turn the water on before coming back to him. “Just a cool washcloth for your head and to cover your eyes.” William explains in that timber that Bryan loves to listen to. 

Bryan watches him with squinted eyes as he closes the blinds tightly. “Thank you for coming Will.” He smiles softly. 

“You are very welcome Bryan, I’m glad I came.” Bryan can feel his eyes watching him for discomfort. “Do you think it would be helpful if we were cuddling, my darling Dragon?” 

“You know William… yes please, I think that would feel amazing.” William helps him sit up and plants himself behind him, letting Bryan lay back on his chest.

“I am here to make you feel better, my Dragon.” William whispers in his ear and runs his fingers through Bryan’s hair carefully while Bryan puts the washcloth over his eyes and sighs contently. “Rest, I’ll be here.”

Bryan doesn’t argue.

Thank you so much for asking for this pairing @tatsueigo! I hope you love it! 😘

“Darling-.” Mox raises his hand to stop him. 

“Don’t please. I know it's a storyline, Lo-William, but Seth's wasn't and it’s too much right now. I just need some time. " Regal goes to speak but Mox stops him again. "Away from you, Regal. I'm sorry."

Yuta still has his arm around Mox’s waist and steers him toward where Claudio and Bryan are huddled with the newly returned Elite. He doesn’t see his Pup throw a look over his shoulder at their older lover basically asking for him to understand, all he can focus on is making it to the group ahead. His head is pounding and his thoughts are screaming at him, pouring memories best left in the past. He doesn’t realize they make it to the huddle until he flinches at a hand touching his face and looks to see Kenny’s sad smile. 

“I’m sorry Mox I know what you’ve been through, but he isn’t Seth. He’s still here and he’s still yours, okay?” Kenny lifts his hanging head and touches their foreheads together, lowering his voice. “He’s not Seth, Jon, he loves you and you know that. Don’t do this to yourself.” Mox sighs and jerks his head away. 

“I’m not a fuckin’ idiot Omega. Just let me get checked out and go get some sleep.” He pulls away from Yuta and starts toward the medical personnel. “You three stay with the old man. I’ll head to the hotel and get a shower after I’m looked at.” He snarls when he sees the sad faces of his lovers especially the face of William further away. “I’m fine! I know he’s not Seth, I know he’s still ours, I know this is a goddamn storyline. I just- I want some time alone, okay?” 

Mox can hear muttering behind him as he storms away. “I’ll go with him and make sure he actually gets checked out.” Matt scoffs and chuckles. “His effing growling doesn’t scare me; I got this Yoots I promise. He’s all growl no bite even like this. Let me handle your feral boy.”

Mox snarls at Yuta’s hurt response and his heart clenches because he knows he caused it. His thoughts scream louder and he almost drops to his knees at the throbbing of his temples. He hears Matt closing in on him despite him speeding up.

“You don’t have to help me princ- Matt.” He almost throws up at the nickname. 

“I’m not doing this for you Jonathan, Yoots is worried you’re gonna snap and destroy everything around you. You know he’s not actually betraying you right? It’s just a storyline and he’ll be going home with you after every show.”

Mox stops so suddenly that Matt almost runs into his back. His breath starts coming faster and heavier until his eyes blur. The voices start coming faster and faster. 

“Dean Ambrose is a lunatic” "... he's face down in a ditch." "... they were just business partners."

He throws himself into the wall next to him and starts punching it until the voices quiet themselves. He can vaguely hear Matt talking to him and trying to stop his hands from flying until one of the medical staff come and help him. They lead him to a bed and sit him down, but his mind is as blank as his stare.  

“… get you to your locker room… empty… shower… wrap.”

He shakes his head. “What?” Matt sighs and helps him up before putting an arm around his waist. 

“I said I’m going to take you back to your locker room because it’s empty, you’re going to take a shower and get comfortable, and then I’m going to wrap your hands so your boys can take you back to the hotel.”

“No.” 

“Jon-.” 

“I said no Matt. I want my boys and I want to leave. We can wrap my hands and I’ll take a shower at the hotel with them, but I want them now.” He reaches out and grabs Matt’s wrist, eyes widening and breath picking up. “Please Matt, I need them now.”

Matt reaches his with his other hand and starts calling Kenny. “Okay Jon, okay I’ll get them. Calm down now.” Matt shushes him gently. 

He doesn’t listen to the phone call until Regal’s name comes up and he flinches so hard that Matt immediately tells them that the man should stay back for a moment. He hates how he’s reacting because this isn’t the same as 2014, Regal isn’t Seth, but his mind says otherwise as Seth’s voice morphs into Regal’s. 

"... another twisted soul" "... this is the wrestler that I should have been, he is the perfect wrestler..." "... utter, sadistic person..."

His thoughts churn with blame and uncertainty. Why didn’t Regal just tell Tony no when he was approached about this storyline? Were they not enough, was henot enough? Was he too m-?

“Hey Moxie, hey! Come on now and come back to me, to us, we’re here now.” Mox shakes his head but immediately regrets it when the pain flashes violently and he groans. “I know baby, I know. Let’s let Bryan wrap you up and we’ll head out, okay?” His Pup speaks softly so he doesn’t hurt his head more.  

“Y-yeah okay Pup.” He rasps out and looks up into Yuta’s eyes before he pushes his face into hs Pup’s neck. “I love you Yoots and I don’t deserve you or any of the BCC, but I love you so much." 

“Don’t say that cucciolo. Don’t ever say that you don’t deserve us again. Capito amore?” Claudio steps in front of him as Yuta moves to stand next to Bryan and help him with getting everything he needs.  

He’s too tired to speak anymore so he just nods not really believing what he’s agreeing to. Mox feels a hand under his chin lifting his head until he’s looking at Claudio in the eyes. He nods again in his Swiss lover’s hand. When Bryan has what they need the three men lead him back to their locker room, leaving Matt to go back to Nick, Kenny, and William on his own. Claudio sits him down on the couch as soon as they arrive, and Bryan is kneeling in front of him shortly after. 

“Hey sweetheart let’s fix these hands, okay?” Bryan gently grabs his left hand first seeing that it’s worse than his right.  

His lover kisses his hands before and after he wraps them, doing the bare minimum until he can get a shower. He flinches as he hears the door open again revealing William and Mox nudges Bryan to go to him. He gets a startled look, but he just nudges the man again.

“Demon, I’ve brought your jacket and other things that you left by the ring.” Bryan meets Regal and grabs Mox’s items and murmurs something to the older man who nods in agreement. “I shall leave you in capable hands my love. Please know how much I love you Jon.” Mox can’t speak so he only nods and his head drops when he hears the door close, tears streaming down his face. 

“He’s not Seth, he’s not Seth, he’s not S-.”

Bryan stays behind with Regal when Mox asks him to. Yuta has him in the bathroom and strips him down quickly while the water heats up. He washes Mox gently and kisses away the tears that stream down his face without permission. His Pup is careful with his ripped knuckles and soothes him when he hears Mox’s newest mantra. The shower takes too much time and not enough by the time that Yuta takes his hand and pulls him out. Claudio joins them in the room as he is being dried off and dressed in only sweatpants, cuddling him from behind.  

“Come cucciolo let’s get your hands fixed up and get you into bed.”

He sits stiffly on the bed as Claudio tends to his hands quick but efficiently. Yuta sits behind him and kisses his neck and shoulders to keep him distracted from any pain or discomfort, but he is jolted when his phone breaks the comfortable silence.  

“Hello?” He answers without looking at the screen. 

“Mox, we bought the PPV-.” He drops the phone before he can hear anything else. 

He jumps up and paces back and forth as the voices in his head come back with a vengeance, tearing apart his mind and sanity. He doesn’t remember walking to the mirror before he feels the flash of pain and sees the broken glass. 

“Why would you call? Of course he’s not okay! …Asshole… don’t ever... lose his number..."

Yuta’s voice fades to the background as Mox spirals further down. He doesn’t feel Claudio try and stop him, only continues to punch the broken mirror as he tries to replace emotional pain with physical.

"There's always a Plan B." "... only used you." "You're a joke to me..." "Coward... lunatic..." "I have to choose him Dean, I love Seth." "My Demon... my love... Petal" Cucciolo... cucciolo... Jon..."

“Jon! Snap out of it!” He struggles as arms tighten around his chest and arms but the fight drains from him as he hears Yuta whimper. 

“Moxie? It’s okay, you’re okay. Claudio and I are here and Bryan’ll be here soon too. We’re gonna make you feel better I promise.” Mox can see the tears running down his Pup’s face and his heart breaks further at knowing he’s part of the cause. 

“Hush cucciolo, I can hear your thoughts. Our sweet Yuta cries because he worries for you as his lover. He loves you so much amore as do the rest of us. We know the betrayal you suffered by not one, but two lovers and we only want to help you through this. It’s been too much tonight with it being your Shield ten-year anniversary, and William and Tony truly forgot about it.” 

Mox trembles as Claudio’s breath hits his ear and Yuta hugs himself to his chest. His breathing starts to slow as the weight of both his lovers soothes something in him that demands comfort and love. Yuta pushes his face further into Mox like he is trying to bury himself inside Mox and he chuckles wetly, staying between the two until he can breathe normally again. A knock interrupts the quiet but Mox refuses to let Yuta go so Claudio goes to the door.  

“How is he?” Bryan whispers.  

“I have to bandage his hands again; you should come in and be with him too.” 

“Of course I will.” Claudio shuts the door behind them as Yuta sits Mox on the bed again and shoves his phone away. “Hey baby. I see you hurt your hands again, let’s get them fixed up and get you some rest huh?” 

Mox doesn’t fight against his lover as he lets Bryan clean and rewrap his hands, leaning back against Yuta’s chest and letting his heat comfort him. Exhaustion hits him hard and he is easily led to rearrange himself in the bed. He feels Claudio at his back, Yuta half laying on his chest, and Bryan on the other side of Yuta but makes sure to have a hand on Mox. With his lovers’ heat surrounding him from all sides, he falls into an uneasy sleep knowing that they are missing someone on the other side of Claudio.

Mox feels like he can’t breathe and there’s a ringing in his ear; he can feel the weight of the chair on his back. Claudio and Yuta make it difficult, but he manages to squirm his way out of the bed. He finds where his Pup hid his phone and has to ignore the messages that fill the screen. Memories flood his mind as he waits for the other end to pick up. 

“You promised us Seth that no matter what we’d stick together, that what happens in the ring stays in the ring and at the end of the day we all go home together. Don’t do this, please, just stay with us.”

“This is my chance, Dean. This is my career!” He starts to walk away, but Dean grabs him and spins him back around.

“We are your family, Seth! Isn’t that more important? Please Seth, I-I love you.” Seth sighs and Dean can feel his heart break.

“This was a business deal that went too far Dean. It became something it shouldn’t have. I do love you both, but I have to focus on me and my future.”

“Demon? Darling are you there?” Mox leans his head against the wall.

“Promise me, William. Promise me you don’t mean it; promise me you still love us, and you’ll come home with us always. That no matter what you won’t ever stop being there for us.” 

“Oh Petal-.”

“Promise me.” Mox urges, he needs to hear it from the Englishman.

“I promise you, Jonathan. I promise that you are enough, and I promise that, no matter what, we will always be together and nothing will tear us apart.” 

Mox can’t help but let out heavy sobs, letting out all the pain he’s been holding in with Regal sitting on the other end of the phone. The older man can hear Mox muttering the same mantra he had been all night and his heart breaks at his wild thing’s mental state. He is so distracted he almost misses his Jon’s next words. 

“Please come over William, come home to us. I know I told you I needed time, but I need you. So come to the room, please.” 

“Of course Petal, I shall be there as soon as possible.”

Mox doesn’t have to wait long before the soft knock can be heard. He yanks open the door and blindly grabs for Regal’s sleep shirt, pulling him into a harsh kiss. The Englishman grabs his face but lets him take what he needs until he pulls back and rests his head against Regal’s chest trying to catch his breath. He purrs as he feels nails gently scratch through his hair and down his back, feeling the kisses Regal places on the side of his temple.  

“Can I take you to bed, my darling boy? Just to sleep I promise so that I can hold you and you can rest.” He places another kiss on the top of Mox’s head.  

“Yes, please William, take me to bed.” He pulls away and drags Regal to the bed where Claudio is awake already, watching them.  

Claudio gets up gently so as not to wake the other two occupants and allows Mox and Regal to slip in the bed before rejoining them. Regal pulls his Demon to his chest and pets down his back until the man falls into a deep sleep. He waits until he hears the deep breathing of his damaged lover and leans down to whisper in his ear. 

“I am not Seth, my love, and I will forever show you that until you believe me.”

I'm in feels so y'all have to be too... and not just BCC feels... nah I'm drudging up Shield feels too... that being said the Regal betrayal is storyline and the Seth betrayal is kayfabe! Awesome? Awesome!

Much love as always!

Seth hears Roman sigh on the phone as Seth describes why he has to make the trip home. He knows Roman doesn't understand why he's so concerned, but Seth is truly scared.

"Babe, I just think you're overthinking this. Yuta is fine, we talked when. I was there a few weeks ago, remember?"

"Yeah, but I also know that he is having. a hard time forgiving and trusting Bryan again, especially since the BCC is still fighting the JAS. I just-" Seth stops and sadly sighs, tugging on his hair. "I remember how this goes, this anger."

"Babe-"

"That storyline wasn't entirely fictional, and you know it, Ro! That story almost broke us before it even played out. I can't lose him; it feels like we just got him. Please let me do this, if I'm wrong and being dumb you can laugh at me later, all of you can, but if I'm right, I gotta try and fix this Ro."

"No one is going to laugh at you Seth, you're doing this for all of us. If anybody knows what happens traveling down this road, it's us. If you're wrong, great, but if you're right? If you're right and he leaves, I don't know what would happen to all of us. Just text me when you get there and keep me updated. I know Yuta misses you, so he'll be happy to see you early."

"I love you, Big Dog, I'll let you know how this all goes."

"Love you too baby. Be safe."

Seth hangs up the phone with a sigh and grabs his bag, heading out of the hotel and into his car. Shooting a text to Regal, Mox, and Renee, he puts the address into the GPS and heads home.

The drive goes faster than he thought, partly because he knows he's overthinking and partly because, being so late, there's no traffic. When he pulls up to the huge house (he'd call it a mansion, but Regal always rolls his eyes), he sends a text to Roman, letting him know he's safe, and to Regal, who he knows he's probably still awake. Getting out of the car, he stretches his legs and back out, groaning at the twinge in his knee. He had refused to stop on the way, wanting to get here as quickly as possible.

Unlocking and relocking the door, he quietly goes up the stairs, first stopping by Regal's room. Entering the room quietly, he sees Regal still awake and reading a book. He stops by his older lover's side of the bed to give him a kiss, trying not to wake up Bryan.

"Welcome home Seth. I hope your drive was pleasant enough?"

"Definitely don't recommend doing the drive all in one sitting, but I'm happy to be home." Seth knows he's anxiously rubbing his wrist.

"Oh petal, you really are worried about this situation, aren't you?" Regal grabs his hand, pulling it from his wrist. "Roman called, darling. Explained how you predict this going in your eyes. I spoke to Moxley so I could understand your stance and worries, and I can see why you're so upset."

"I just- I almost lost Mox in 2014 because of a storyline, I can't lose Yuta because of this feud between the BCC and JAS." Seth lets Regal pull him down gently so he's sitting on the side of the bed, and groans lightly when Regal scratches down his back, letting his head drop forward.

"Seth, your worries are justified, my dear boy. You should go and see Yuta, even if it's just to sleep." Seth leans over and kisses him again and stands up. "Go on dear, get some rest. I'll see you in the morning."

"Goodnight William."

He closes the door quietly behind him and immediately runs into Mox, who wraps his arms around Seth's waist and kisses the breath out of him. When Mox pulls back, Seth puts his face in his lover's neck and breathes him in, calming himself down.

"I love you, my beautiful Hound, always remember that." Mox runs one hand through Seth's hair and clenches the other arm harder around him, hugging Seth tightly. "I know what you're thinking about, I fucked up in 2014, and I know that I can never take that shit back. I let my goddamn anger get the better of me, but Yuta's not me, baby," Mox can hear Seth's small sniffles and feels him shift his head into Mox's shoulder.

"When we were on FaceTime the other day, he was talking about how he's trying to forgive Bryan, but the feud is making him paranoid and making it hard to put this all behind him. He's so afraid that Bryan will turn back around and treat him shitty all over again, and it makes him angry." Seth's voice is watery and muffled, getting quieter toward the end of his statement. Mox sighs and rubs his tired Hound's back, trying to comfort him, wishing Renee was out here to help.

"Go lay with the Pup, baby, get some rest, and tomorrow we'll all have. a talk, okay? We'll put it all on the table." He steps back slightly so Seth will bring his head up, and Mox grabs his face, kissing him softly. "We'll get it all fixed up, okay?" Seth nods tiredly, and Mox chuckles. "Good, now go lay down, I gotta go chop some damn wood or something so I can feel like a badass again and not some softie. Got me feeling things." Mox shudders and starts to walk toward the stairs.

"Hey Moxie?" His lover turns around. "I like it when you're soft, you're still my badass no matter what." Mox rolls his eyes and starts walking again. "Love you, Mox" He starts walking toward Yuta's room, smiling at the quiet love you too from behind him.

Seth makes it to Yuta's room and quietly enters, hoping that, if the boy is asleep, he won't wake him. He places his bag in the chair that's in the corner of the room and decides to just take his shirt off and sleep in the pants he drove in. Climbing into bed, he's startled when Yuta turns over, puts an arm on his chest, and props himself up, smiling in excitement.

"You're here!" Yuta kisses over his heartbeat and Seth falls in love a little more. "Are you okay? I thought you were coming this weekend."

"I was, but I decided to come early, I wanted to come home and see my family." Yuta blushes slightly and sits up with his back against the headboard, grabbing Seth's hand when he copies Yuta's position. "I really wanted to see you and check in with you, especially after our video call." Seth adds quietly, looking down at his lap.

"Hey," Yuta uses his other hand to bring Seth's face up to look at him. "what's wrong? I know I've been stressed out about this Bryan/JAS stuff, but Bryan really is trying to make it up to me and he's checking in before and after we do segments with JAS. I think was just being paranoid, but Renee and Regal have been helping me and Bryan talk through things." Seth sighs in relief.

"So you're okay? We- you and Bryan are okay?" Seth catches the slip and hopes Yuta didn't, but his baby is more perceptive than he thinks.

"Yeah Seth, we're okay, all of us are okay." Yuta squeezes his hand and uses the other hand on Seth's face to stroke his cheek. "Ya know, Roman called me on your way here and told me to talk to Mox, don't be mad at him, he was really worried about you. Mox told me about what happened in 2014 during the betrayal storyline, about how y'all almost broke up and he thought you wanted the storyline to happen." Yuta hears the small whimper that escapes Seth without his permission.

"Yeah, it was a bad few weeks after that, Mox was refusing to talk to me, and I told Roman not to get in the middle of it. Triple H finally was able to get through to him and explain that it was his idea. Mox and I were pretty tense still even after Mox apologized because I was mad that it had even come to that. I was angry that someone else had to step in to make him see what he was doing was wrong."

"Kind of like how Roman had to get Bryan to see what he was doing to me, right? Mirror images almost, and that's what scares you, huh?"

Seth sighs and nods slowly, and Yuta gives in to the urge to try and kiss the sad look off his face. When Yuta pulls away, he lays back and pulls Seth down to lie on his chest, playing with Seth's long hair.

"I was scared that I would lose you just as I was beginning to truly love you, so I needed to see you, in case this was the last time I would." Seth kisses Yuta's chest, running his fingers over Yuta's stomach, enjoying the way it clenches when he hits certain spots.

"I was mad at Bryan, I was mad that Roman had to intervene to make him see that what he was doing was wrong, but I know Bryan isn't perfect, none of us are." Yuta tugs on the end of Seth's hair and makes him look Yuta in the face. "I'm not going anywhere Seth, I love y'all, I love you, and that won't change. Will we get into fights? Sure, but we'll talk it out and makeup. Bryan is still making things up to me and I'm still working on trusting him, but we'll get there eventually, and we're both patient enough to put the work in. We're okay though, all of us, and especially you and me. You drove all night to come see me, babe and make sure I was okay. My own Prince Charming, I'm the luckiest man in the world."

"Yeah, Prince Charming, sure. I love you too, Yoots. I'm sorry I doubted that." Yuta kisses Seth again and pulls the covers over the both of them, gently pushing Seth's head to his chest.

"Not doubt, Charming, concern. Now let's get some sleep, I have a feeling Mox is gonna come jump on the bed to wake us up in the morning and Roman will want a phone call."

Yuta runs his fingertips up and down Seth's back, enjoying the shudders going through his lover. He can feel Seth calm down and fall asleep, tightening the arm across Yuta's waist and nuzzling his head further into his chest. Yuta looks up when he hears the door open, seeing Mox looking in on them.

"How is he?" Mox whispers when he sees Seth asleep.

"I think he's okay now, but he'll probably be better when he can see Bryan and I interact together tomorrow." He can see a look in Mox's eyes when he looks at Seth, a mixture of guilt and love. "Come sleep with us, you know he gets cold if he's not sandwiched in."

"Already learned that, huh?" Mox doesn't argue, just climbs in bed on the other side of Seth, propping himself up to stare at Yuta and Seth together.

Yuta watches as Mox moves the hair away from Seth's cheek, kissing it gently, and moving to his ear to whisper something that sounded like softie. He then leans over carefully and kisses Yuta goodnight, then lays down and throws his arm over both Yuta and Seth, falling asleep quickly. He stays awake a little longer to think about the conversations he had with both Mox and Seth. Yuta knows that he truly loves all of his lovers and there was no way he'd give any of this up. He'll make sure he squashes Seth's fear tomorrow, but tonight he's going to enjoy sleeping next to very loving Hounds of Justice.

I 100% blame @sarahcakes613 and her "Yuta reminds Moxley of someone else"

This was also supposed to focus solely on Yuta and Seth, but apparently, Mox and his Lordship wanted some Seth loving too, so *waves hand* here we are.

Swiss Supes ☕️: 911, BCC LR

"I have to go, man. I need you to find Renee and send her to the Club's locker room asap."

"Jonny, what the-?"

"No time, Eddie! Now!" Mox doesn't wait for Eddie's response, spinning around and stalking off toward the locker room.

He storms through the doors, wincing when they hit the wall. The scene he witnesses when he walks in makes him want to taste someone's blood. Claudio walks slowly towards him, hands out like he's trying to calm a wild animal, but Mox drops the belt and pushes past him. Regal looks up at him from his kneeling position in front of Yuta.

"Oh, Sunshine look, Mox is here." Regal sadly reports as he stands with Claudio's help, petting through his young lover's hair gently, leaving the room when the two-minute warning for the match is announced through the door.

He falls to his knees in front of Yuta, putting his hands on his face and pressing their foreheads together. "Tell me Pup, give me a name and I'll bring you their head."

"You can't Moxie, not this time."

"I can do whatever the fuck I want Yoots, and I certainly would do anything for you."

"I'm done, Jon." He freezes, ice filling his filling his veins slowly. "I'm done trying, I can't stick my neck out only to be hurt every time, so I'm done." Mox lifts his head and swings it toward Claudio.

"What the fuck happened? What did he do?" Claudio doesn't answer, just replays the promo for him. "Oh, hell no, I'm gonna kill him!"

“Enough Mox, please, I want to go to the house, I want to sleep in my bed.” Yuta grabs his face, making him look at him. “Please I want my bed.”

My bed. The phrase runs through his head on repeat, getting louder, screaming at him until it rips a whimper out of his throat. Claudio comes up behind him, strong hands on his shoulders, keeping him centered, and Yuta, seeming to realize what he said, taps his fingertips against Mox’s face like Regal taught him to reclaim his attention.

“No Moxie, we are not done, I’m not giving any of you up, I’m too selfish for that. I just refuse to fight for someone who’s already given up the war. I-I can’t keep getting hurt by him, so until everything settles down or he comes to me, I don’t want to be with him, professionally and friendly sure, but not romantically.”

Mox’s breathing comes a little easier after his Pup’s declaration and he breathes deeply before looking up at Claudio. “Take him home babe,” he sees Renee push the door open, finally arriving. “Both of you take him home if you’re done. I’ll stay here and wait for Regal and Bryan.” 

Claudio tries to argue, but Mox waves him off. His Swiss lover sighs deeply, grabbing his and Yuta’s bags and walking away with him. He hears him tell Renee he’ll explain in the car, before Mox feels thin arms wrap around his waist and a kiss is placed on his back. 

“I love you Mox, I always will, nothing will change that, I promise.” He turns around, not letting the arms release him, kissing his Pup deeply, nibbling on his lower lip toward the end. 

“I love you too, Yuta, now go with them and call Seth or Roman when you get into bed, please let Renee or Claudio stay with you.” He places a kiss on Yuta’s lips again, watching his three lovers walk out. 

He pulls up a metal chair close to television, watching Bryan’s match with Sammy Guevara, the kid and his wife making his lip curl into a snarl. His phone dings, a quick glance letting him know that the trio was home safely, and Yuta was in bed with Claudio. Another ding sounds and it’s from Seth, letting him know that he’s on the phone with Yuta because Roman is too aggressive at the moment. He sends a quick thumbs up as a response, getting distracted at the sight of Bryan’s bloody face. His mind drifts as the match goes on, splitting his attention between Bryan and Yuta, his mood continuously darkening. He is taken from his thoughts by the sound of the door opening and he feels a stinging pain, looking down to see eight perfect bloody crescents on his palms. 

“Demon, you’re still here? I thought you would have head on home with the others.” Regal questions warily. 

“Wanted to check on Bryan, I know Sammy boy can be an ass sometimes, and I saw the blood.” He watches Bryan head for the showers. “He get checked out?”

“Yes Jon, he did, what is really going on? You never let Sunshine go home without you. Please Jon, I know things are tense, but he’s hurt.”

“William, I know he’s your golden boy, but this has gone on long enough.”

“Jon-.”

“Yuta said he’s done! He’s done letting Bryan hurt him, so until things settle down, or Bryan comes to him, he’s done with Bryan romantically. He swears that he’s still going to be with us, but how long until he’s so miserable he leaves all together?” Mox sighs and scrubs his face roughly. “I’m not going to hurt him William, but I am gonna give him a goddamn wake up call, so stay or don’t, your choice.” 

“I trust that you know the limits, he has truly been hurt tonight, so please let us go home in one piece tonight, My Demon.”

“We will darlin’, we will, I think Ortiz wanted to ask you some questions about submissions.” Mox stated, giving Regal an out.

They hear the shower shut off, both looking toward the bathroom doors. “Yes, I think I will go find the lad now, call me when you’re ready to leave.”

Mox walks inside the bathroom toward the shower stalls, eyeing Bryan as he dries off and steps into a pair of sweatpants. His footsteps are silent as he closes in on his Dragon, mentally mapping and categorizing the bruises littering his back. He appreciates the beautiful sight of Bryan before seizing him by one of his shoulders and pushing him into the closest wall. His other hand shields his lover’s face, so it doesn’t make contact with the hard surface. 

“Mox, what the fuck? Let me go!” Bryan tries to twist out of Mox’s hold unsuccessfully, and Mox brushes his lips against the Dragon’s ear.

“So, you feel disrespected, do you? By Jericho, by your boy Daniel, and by our boy Yuta, am I right?” He kisses Bryan’s ear, feeling the shiver run through his body.

“Mox please, I was just upset, I got carried away,” he shivers as Mox switches to his other ear, running his nose across the back of it, before nuzzling his way down to the back of his neck. “Mox, come on-.”

“How about I show you some disrespect, baby?” He sets his teeth on Bryan’s neck, biting deeply when he hears his lover’s whine of confusion.

“Ah! Mox what the fu-?” 

Mox keeps his teeth sunk in, making sure to create a bruise, before releasing the skin. Bryan is breathing hard, letting his head lay against the wall. Mox wraps his arms around Bryan, gently pulling the both of them backwards until he can fall onto one of the benches, Bryan in his lap. He leans in near his ear again, blowing on it softly to feel him writhe in his captivity, his Dragon whining softly when Mox runs a finger over the bite mark.

“Oh, I’m sorry baby, did I hurt you? Do you feel disrespected? I would absolutely hate it if you felt that way.” He scoffs angrily, moving his hands to Bryan’s hips, making him stand up so he can walk back into the sitting area.

It doesn’t take long for the fog to clear from Bryan’s mind, filling with anger instead of hazy confusion, and he storms after Mox, slamming the doors against the walls. His anger grows we he sees Mox lounging peacefully on the couch.

“What the fuck was that Mox?!” He brushes his fingertips against the bite mark, wincing in pain. “You think I don’t have enough bruises from tonight? You had to add one more? For what, huh? Me saying I feel disrespected by Yuta?” He paces back and forth, feeling Mox tracking his movement like a hungry predator. 

Mox shrugs nonchalantly, “What can I say, baby? I thought I should let you feel a little bit of the pain that the Pup is feeling right now.”

“Is that why you stayed? To show me how much pain Yuta is in? Well thanks, so glad you could take the time to fucking bite me so that I know that I hurt his feelings, much appreciated.” Bryan realizes he’s said the wrong thing when a snarl is ripped from Mox’s throat.

“No, sweetheart, I’m here to deliver a message before we three go home to the others, figured you’d want us to be alone when I tell you.” Mox leans forward, elbows resting on his knees, and his hands clasped under his chin. “The bite was just for me, let’s say it’s almost like a timer.” Bryan wants to wipe the smirk off his face. 

“Delivering a message? A fucking timer? Speak fucking plainly, Jon, I’m tired of this game!” Bryan gulps slightly, backing up as Mox rises from the couch, stalking toward him. 

“Yeah Bry, a message from Yuta actually. He says he’s done letting you hurt him. That until you’re ready to come to him and talk things out like a goddamn adult, or things settle down, he’s done. He’ll be your friend and your stable mate, but he can’t be your lover right now, not until you grow a pair and apologize, or calm the fuck down.” 

“N-no, Mox wh-?”

Mox crowds Bryan into the wall, grazing his fingertips around the bite. “And yeah, a timer Bryan. Until this bad boy heals, you’re to keep your distance from Yuta. I can’t trust you around him because you can’t stop hurting him. He’ll train with me, Claudio, or Regal and I’m sure we can figure out a sleeping arrangement.”

“Please Jon-.” Mox brushes a finger over Bryan’s lips. 

“Hush, Dragon. When this bite heals, you’ll fix your mistakes, but until then, Yuta is off limits to you. I know it sounds cruel, but I refuse to lose any of you fuckers. You made me love you all; you and Regal moved me in, and I made my home with you. I won’t lose anybody, so if this is what needs to happen, so be it, I’ll be the bad guy.” Mox butts his forehead against the side of Bryan’s temple gently. 

They are interrupted by the locker room door opening, surprised to see Renee walk in with Regal. He backs away from Bryan, giving him room to breathe and calm down, walking towards their duffle bags. 

“I’m glad you’re here baby girl, think I can bum a ride from you?” He situates the bags to one hand, holding Renee’s cheek, and kissing her sweetly.

“You seem nice enough, so I guess so.” She shrugs, fighting a smile, giving Regal time to go check in with Bryan.

“You bit him Jon. Don’t try and say you didn’t, this absolutely was not here earlier.” Bryan places a hand on Regal’s back.

“Don’t William, I-I don’t like that he did it, but I know why he did. It’s no different than when you slap us, yeah? This is my timer, I accept that. Can you and I please just sit down for a moment? I need some down time with you before we go home.”

Mox drops the bags by Renee’s feet, striding toward Bryan again. “I love you Bryan, so much, I’m sorry for the bite, I really didn’t plan that.” He nuzzles his nose on Bryan’s cheek.

“I love you too, Mox. I know you didn’t, we all will fix any tension between us and when this heals, I’ll fix things with Yuta.” Mox feels tears hit his nose and he leans back to look into Bryan’s eyes.He pulls his lover into a tight hug, burying his face into his neck to let him cry for a moment, stroking his neck and humming into his ear until Bryan pulls away. He watches as Regal grabs Bryan by his hips, pulling him back into his chest gently, whispering in his ear. Mox gets his older lover’s attention, kissing him over Bryan’s shoulder.

“I love you, old man, we’ll see you at the house, try not to stay much longer, okay?” He pecks his lips again before backing away.

“I love you too, my Demon, go and take care of our Sunshine and I will come in and check on you all when I get home.” Mox looks into his eyes to see if he can find any anger, but all he sees is love and understanding shining back at him. 

Renee grabs his hand, and he takes the bags from her before they turn to leave. As they reach the doors Mox turns back to glance at his lovers, seeing Bryan in Regal’s lap, face in his neck. Regal looks up to see him staring and sends him a small, sweet smile before turning his attention back to Bryan. Renee leads him to the car, and he decides to let her drive, too unfocused at the moment. He is worried that Regal is mad at him, so he pulls his phone out.

Me: We’re okay, you and me?

He anxiously bites his thumbnail, waiting for an answer, starting to drift off in his thoughts, but the notification brings him back before he can start his spiral downward. 

Old Man 👑💛: Ease your thoughts my Demon, we are okay. I love you Jon, my darling Wild Thing. Get home and take care of the others and I will take care of you when I get home my sweet boy 😘

He texts Yuta and Claudio quickly, letting them know they are on the way, and puts his phone away. Renee puts her hand in his lap, giving him the option to hold it if he wants to, which he gladly accepts. Laying his head back against the headrest, he allows his mind drift, letting his wife’s presence calm his mind until they arrive home. They will be okay, he knows it, they just have to get through the hazards in their way. 

Thank you so much for reading! This one is for @bambihausen, who I promised I'd write this.

Dynamite made me a little upset okay?! Bryan's a jerk but I still love him. My poor Yoots though 😭
