That Wasn't Words - Kyle Fletcher [Fluff]

"Hey, there she is!" Kyle called as he came into the makeshift locker room, I grinned at my best friend, "You killed it out there!" I replied as he plonked next to me "Ew, you're super sweaty!" I grimaced, playfully pushing him away from me as he tried to hug me, as Mark, his tag team partner walked in behind him rolling his eyes at us "Will you two get a room!" He said as he grabbed his bag to go shower and change out of his ring gear. I sat up straight and looked at Kyle, who was sitting next to me catching his breath now he'd finished winding me up, still shirtless from his match. My eyes wandered over his chest but I shook the thought from my head. He stood up and stretched "You know, you might have to peel these off me, they're stuck to me!" He said gesturing to his ring tights, I rolled my eyes "Why are you always trying to get me to undress you!?" I asked laughing at him, he pouted in response "Come on Natalie, I'm sore! You saw the match!." I laughed, "Fine, I'll help, but you need to learn to do these things for yourself." I said standing up and kneeling in front of him, to remove his kick pads and unlace his boots.

"But you take such good care of me" He smiled, leaning down to plant a kiss on the top of my head, that made me happy.. a little too happy. I focused on unlacing his boots, trying to ignore how cliche it was to have a crush on my best friend. Once I had finished taking his boots off, I stood up "You can take the rest off yourself" I smirked, looking up at the tall man, before sticking my tongue out at him, he pouted again, but then he grinned and took his chance to wrap his arms around me and pull me into his sweaty chest for a tight hug "Ew! You're disgusting!" I squirmed, trying and failing to get out of his grasp, when suddenly Mark came out of the shower area, dressed back in his normal clothes and he just shook his head at us like a disapproving dad.

Kyle finally let me go and grabbed his bag to go and shower, so I plopped back onto the sofa and took my phone out of my pocket to look through Instagram. "Nat, you're single right?" Mark asked, taking me by surprise, "Uh, yeah? Why?" I asked, confused "Because you and Kyle need to hurry up and get together, it's obvious you like each other." He said casually as he packed away his things. The blush rose in my cheeks "Don't be silly, we're just friends, honestly" I said, trying to hide the truth, but he just looked up at me with a smile that said he didn't believe me, "Well, I'm going to meet a friend, you two enjoy you're night" he winked before picking up his bag and heading out of the door. I was left with my thoughts, he was kidding right? I always kept my feelings hidden and there was no way Kyle felt the same.

My thoughts were interrupted when Kyle came out of the showers in his t-shirt and shorts, smiling when he saw me, but then looking puzzled when he realized I was alone. "Where'd he go?" he asked, I shrugged "He's gone to see a friend" I replied "So, what do you wanna do? Watch a movie at the hotel?" I asked, to which he smiled softly "I can't wait to lay around with you" he said walking over to me "But first, I've gotta say something I've been thinking about."

He sat next to me, looking a bit nervous, I felt butterflies for some reason as I couldn't take my eyes off him, "Okay, go ahead" I managed, but he stood back up again "I can't deny this any longer" he said, still not looking at me, I stood up with him, a little concerned, my heart beating fast. He sighed then looked into my eyes "Nat.. I.." he started but stopped, then he simply stepped forward, placed one hand on my cheek, the other on my hip and leaned down, pressing his lips to mine. It took me by surprise and I had no time to react, he pulled away, removed his hands and started to apologize, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-" "Kiss me again" I cut him off without thinking, I grabbed his shirt and tiptoed up to meet him, he put both his hands on my hips this time as our lips met, and this time, I kissed him back, sliding my arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

We stood and kissed for a minute or two before we pulled away to catch our breathe. Kyle rested his forehead against mine, we both smiled and I pecked his lips one more time "That wasn't words Kyle" I laughed, he grinned "I think you got the message though, right?" he asked looking into my eyes, his hands still on my waist, I nodded, running my hands down from his shoulders to his biceps. "So, you'll be my girlfriend right?" he asked, and this time, it was me that couldn't stop grinning "Yes" I said, taking his hands off my waist so I could lace my fingers through his "You've always been more than my friend" I said biting my lip. He just smiled, let go of one of my hands, and placed his fingers on my jaw, using his thumb to pull by bottom lip from my teeth and then lift my chin, to bring my lips back to his for another kiss.
