One Shots || Wrestler edition || CLOSED

Excited and nervous - Sami Zayn

"Just take a deep breath Rami." I advised my pacing boyfriend. "I doubt pacing a hole through my carpet will help."

"I'm sorry." Rami sighed as he stopped walking. "It's just that today is such a big deal for me Mirabelle."

"I know." I told him as I placed my hand on his arm.

It really was a huge day for him. Tonight he would have a wrestling match for the undisputed wwe Universal championship against his co worker Joseph, who was doing amazingly well as the current champion. I knew he was nervous as well as excited and he wasn't the only one.

The whole wrestling world seemed to be on the edge of their Seats for the upcoming clash between Sami Zayn and the reigning, defending champion Roman Reigns. A lot of people seemed to want Sami to win yet there were also a lot of people that believed that the title wouldn't change hands this close to WrestleMania.

"I know there is a huge amount of pressure on your shoulders to perform better than you've ever done before, not only for your fans, colleagues, bosses or family but for yourself as well. I get it and you're right, it is a huge deal. But worrying about it isn't going to help. You should enjoy this."

"That is easier said than done. But you're right. I should be enjoying my moment."

"Exactly. You've worked your ass off to have that moment and you more than deserve it." I smiled at him. "You have been one of their most popular wrestlers for months now not to mention that you helped make that bloodline storyline as popular as it is."

"Thank you, mon ange." Rami smiled as he kissed my hand.

"Any time." I assured him before glancing at the clock. "Well, let's get you to that arena."

As Rami was changing for his match, I sat in catering with his best friend Kevin.

"How's he feeling?" He asked me.

"Well he's excited of course, he worked insanely hard for this, but he is also nervous since this is such a big opportunity for him and I think he is also a bit scared." I told him honestly.

"Why would he be scared?"

"My best guess is that he is scared of letting everyone down. Not that he could but you know him."

"That I do." Kevin chuckled. He and Rami had been friends for ages and he was probably the only one besides his family that knew him even better than I did. "But considering no one's opinion matters to him more than yours, maybe you should give him a pep talk.

"Like I wasn't planning on doing that regardless." I smiled. "You know I will support him no matter what and I know that you will do the same."

"He's my best friend, my brother even. He was there for me through both good and bad times. I will always have his back." Kevin nodded before wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "And I will have yours as well Mira."

"Thanks Kev." I told him sincerely. It meant a lot to me that we had become vast friends when Rami and I started dating. "Now excuse me, I have a pep talk to give."

After a quick 'see you later' since we would definitely both be waiting for Rami in the gorilla after his match I got up to go look for Sami.

He wasn't hard to find as he liked to do his warm up close to the gorilla so he could be ready in a moment's notice.

"You ready?" I asked once he saw me walk up to him.

"As ready as I can be." Rami nodded but I could tell there was something on his mind other than the match.

"Alright, please talk to me Rami. I can tell something is troubling you."

Rami sighed and looked up at me, telling me the thing I had already guessed. "To be honest I'm just worried I will let everyone down if I don't perform as well as everyone hopes I will."

"Oh babe, you won't. No matter how tonight will end, everyone is so proud of you. You and Joseph trained hard for this and they will appreciate that more than you think. Don't forget that the two of you started to talk about this collaboration over a year ago. That's serious dedication. Not just to the company or the art of wrestling but to their entertainment as well. Everyone believes in you. I believe in you."

"You always know just what to say, don't you?" Rami smiled softly as he reached out to gently caress my cheek

"Not always." I chuckled. "But when it comes to you, I do."

Rami leaned in to give me a short sweet kiss "I love you mon ange."

"Love you too babe." I smiled softly before I noticed that it was time for Rami's match. "Now go out there and kick some butt."

"Alright I'll see you after." Rami stepped back with a smile that now reached his eyes. "Oh and you better meant that you always know what to say when it comes to me because after this, I have a question to ask you."

Before I could even ask about it his theme hit and with a wink he left to get to the ring, leaving me to be the one to be excited and nervous.
