United Empire - One Shot collection

Why Else? - Francesco Akira [Fluff]

"They're perfect! Thank you so much!" Exclaimed the gorgeous Italian man in front of me, I smiled, "You're welcome Francesco, I'm glad you like them" I smiled as he looked over the newest set of gear I had made for him. He was one of my favourite clients, not just because I loved his ideas and his style, but also, he happened to be my most attractive client, and an absolute gentleman. He smiled wide as he continued to inspect the matching kick pads and I began to tidy up around my desk in my hotel room when he asked me "Are you busy tomorrow evening?" I looked at him surprised "Uhm, not really, I've got all my work done nice and fast this month and I'm not heading home for a few days" I replied with a smile, "Would you perhaps like to come and see me wrestle? I'm going to debut this gear tomorrow, so, I don't know, maybe you'd like to see it in action?" He asked, his blue eyes sparkling, I nodded "That would be great, I haven't actually watched a show in person for so long, I'd love to" my smile widened, of course I wanted to see him wrestle live, I'd seen him on NJPW World, I knew he was fast, innovative and took good care of himself, I mean, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't looked at his abs before. "That's great, I'll tell your name to the people on the door so they can let you in and maybe you can come to the back and meet TJ, Aaron, Jeff and Gideon" He continued, happiness written all over his face. "That sounds perfect, text me with what time, and I'll be there" I stated, watching him pack away all the items I had made for him ready to head out of my room "Thank you again, they are amazing, you're stuff is always beautiful" He smiled, that sparkle back in his eyes "You're welcome honey, you know I like making gear for you. Enjoy the rest of your day, and I guess I'll see you tomorrow" I stepped forward for our usual hug before he left and enjoyed his firm arms around me, if only for a brief moment before he pulled away, said his goodbyes and left with his bag full of new gear.

To begin with, I had only accepted to make gear for him because he's cute and if I impressed him, I thought perhaps the rest of the United Empire might want me to make gear for them too, and that would be incredible, not just because one of the greatest wrestling factions today would be wearing my creations, but also, that would mean some solid continuous business for a while, making gear for 9 different guys, and let's face it, I was dying to have a go at making an entrance coat for Ospreay. So far, none of that had happened, instead, Francesco had ordered several things from me in the last few months, more than most wrestlers had in a year, but I wasn't complaining, he's gorgeous, our chats are always fun, I loved his ideas and watching his face light up when he got passionate about a design made my heart ache. Why else would I schedule gear drops for other wrestlers around his shows, enjoying my flights out to Japan to bring him orders. Trying not to get excited, I got back to clearing up and tidying away all my work stuff and decided to take a long shower to calm myself, just because I had a crush on him, didn't give me reason to be this flustered.

The shower was nice and hot, so to keep my mind off the handsome Italian I took my time, exfoliating my skin, deep conditioning my hair and even shaving my legs, making sure I kept myself occupied and gave the hot water time to relax all my muscles and calm my nerves. After my shower, I began applying my moisturizer and realized that I'd inadvertently made a huge effort to impress Francesco, going to all that effort in the shower. Well, why stop there? I took my time to go through the clothes I had brought with me and decided I needed to go shopping tomorrow morning to find a good outfit to wear to the show. The rest of my night was uneventful, I got dinner, watched a movie and sketched a few designs before getting an early night, still tired from my flight and knowing I'd need a good sleep ready for the excitement of being at the show and seeing the man I had a crush on.

The music coming from my phone alarm woke me and I instantly remembered that I needed to go shopping, find a good outfit and make a little effort to look good, instead of seeing Francesco in my normal sewing attire with my hair in a messy bun. I had breakfast and headed straight out, luckily for me, I managed to find a nice pair of high-waisted jeans, some nice high heeled boots and a cute jacket to wear tonight that would go with the United Empire t-shirt I had customized. I had just began carefully applying my make up when Francesco text me with what door to use when I arrived at the venue and that I should be good to arrive any time, which was perfect considering I was almost ready at that point. As I arrived at the venue, I checked my appearance in a nearby car's reflection, boots looked good, jeans hugging my curves, makeup light and natural, even my hair had fallen nicely into it's natural loose curls rather than being it's usual frizzy mess. Satisfied with my look, I headed to the door Akira mentioned, where two men asked how they could help me, I gave them my name and they let me through, even giving me directions to get to the locker room that the United Empire would be in.

As I walked down the halls, I stopped to pull out my phone and text Francesco that I'd arrived, when I realized I could hear his voice meaning I was right by their room, I stepped a little closer as I thought I heard my name, then I heard someone speaking "Come on Akira, admit that you like this girl! Why else would you buy a ton of gear from her that you don't need, insist on doing all your meetings in person and invite her to come to the show tonight?" The voice asked, it was an American accent, telling me that it was either Jeff Cobb or TJP, I heard a sigh in response "Fine, she's beautiful and creative and talented and yes, I care for her and want her to watch my matches, what's wrong with that?" His Italian accent saying those lovely words made my knees weak, did he really think all of those things about me? My thoughts were interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind me, I turned to see Gideon Grey smirking behind me "Just how much of that did you hear?" he asked quietly and I felt my cheeks grow hot "Enough to give me butterflies" I admitted looking at the ground, "You like him too then?" he asked and I bit my lip and nodded in response, Gideon smiled before turning me around and walking me into their locker room. "Look who I found!" He called as we entered and Francesco smiled, standing up to greet me with a hug and I noticed it was TJP he had been talking to, who was now smirking at me "Right, TJ, we'd better leave the lovebirds to it, I believe they have something to discuss" he said winking at us as we stood speechless, watching Gideon and TJ leave together chuckling.

Francesco looked nervous and a little confused, so I decided to break the tension and confess a few things "I overheard your conversation and honestly, I'm overjoyed because, I feel the same about you, that's why I always fly out to meet you.." I admitted unable to look away from his piercing blue eyes and the smile that appeared on his worried face made me relax a little "You.. heard what I said.. and, you have feelings for me too?" he asked looking relieved, once again, all I could do was bite my lip and nod. He stepped forward and placed his fingertips on my jaw, puling my lip from my teeth with his thumb "Then maybe I can take you for dinner after the show?" He asked as my heart raced "I'd love that" I smiled, still looking deep into his eyes when I noticed him glance at my lips so  with all courage I could find, I stepped closer, our bodies touching and to my delight, he got the hint, leaning in to press his soft lips to mine for the sweetest kiss, one hand on my cheek, the other finding it's way to my waist. I slid one hand to his neck as his lips began to move against mine and after a moment he pulled away and it took all my strength to not whimper, already missing his lips on mine "You look so beautiful today, did you do this for me?" he asked, taking a stray strand of my hair between his fingers "Yes, I wanted to look good.... for you.." I confessed and smiled "You always do, my girl is always breathtaking"  I took his hand and squeezed it "Did you just call me your girl?" I asked grinning, he nodded, tucking the hair behind my ear "Yes, you are my girl, if you want to be?" once again I nodded, and simply pressed my lips back to his confirming it. I was now Francesco Akira's girl.
