As you train in the NXT Performance Center, you can't help but feel a pair of eyes on you. You turn around to see Dexter Lumis watching you, his piercing gaze leaving you feeling both intrigued and unsettled.
Over the next few weeks, you find yourself paired up with him for training sessions, and you start to see a different side of him. While he remains silent, his actions speak volumes. He's a skilled wrestler and his focus and determination are evident in every move he makes.
As your training intensifies, you and Dexter start to spend more time together outside of the ring. He takes you on late-night walks through the empty streets, always remaining silent but never failing to make you feel safe and protected.
One evening, after a particularly grueling training session, Dexter surprises you by breaking his silence. "You have a lot of potential," he says, his voice deep and gravelly. "I see something in you that I haven't seen in many others."
You feel a surge of pride at his words, and you can't help but wonder what he sees in you. You start to open up to him, sharing your own hopes and fears about your wrestling career.
As time goes on, you start to realize that there's more to Dexter than his stoic exterior. You catch glimpses of a softer side to him, like when he carefully tends to his plants or when he plays with the stray cats that hang around the Performance Center.
You start to fall for him, but you're not sure if he feels the same way. One night, as you're sitting in silence with him after a training session, you take a chance and lean in for a kiss.
Dexter doesn't pull away, and you feel a surge of hope. He finally breaks his silence again, this time to whisper, "I've been waiting for you to make the first move."
As your relationship with Dexter deepens, you realize that he's not just a silent, mysterious wrestler. He's a complex and sensitive man who has been waiting for someone to see beyond his quiet façade. And you're glad that someone is you.
As you spend more time with Dexter Lumis, you start to notice little things about him. Despite his stoic exterior, you begin to see glimpses of his personality and emotions. You notice the subtle twitches of his lips when he finds something amusing, the slight furrow of his brow when he's concentrating, and the way his eyes light up when he's excited about something.
You're drawn to his mysterious aura, and you find yourself wanting to know more about him. You start to make small talk with him during training sessions, and although he doesn't say much in response, you can tell that he's listening.
One day, you decide to ask him out to lunch. To your surprise, he accepts. As you sit across from each other at a nearby café, you begin to learn more about his interests and hobbies. You find out that he's an avid reader and enjoys spending time painting in his spare time.
As the weeks pass, you spend more time together, both inside and outside the ring. You start to notice a change in Dexter's behavior. He's still quiet and reserved, but he seems more comfortable around you. He even starts to open up more, sharing small details about his life that he's never shared with anyone else.
One evening, after a particularly grueling training session, you find yourselves alone in the locker room. You're both exhausted, but instead of rushing to leave, you sit down next to Dexter and start talking. Before you know it, the conversation has turned serious.
Dexter reveals that he's always struggled with social anxiety, which is why he's always been so guarded around others. He admits that he's never felt comfortable opening up to anyone before, but something about you makes him want to break down his walls.
You're touched by his vulnerability, and you take his hand in yours. You tell him that you appreciate his trust in you and that you're willing to support him in any way you can. You promise to be patient with him and to never push him beyond his limits.
As you look into his piercing blue eyes, you realize that you've fallen for him. Despite his quiet nature and mysterious demeanor, you see the kind, compassionate man beneath the surface. And you're determined to do whatever it takes to make him feel loved and accepted.
Over the next few weeks, you continue to work alongside Dexter in the ring and spend more time getting to know each other. You find yourself opening up to him, sharing stories from your past and your dreams for the future.
Dexter, on the other hand, remains mostly quiet, but you start to notice subtle changes in his behavior. He seems to relax more around you, even cracking a small smile or two when you make a joke.
One day, after a particularly intense training session, you're both sitting on the floor catching your breath. You take a moment to study his face, noticing how the sweat glistens on his skin and how his hair falls into his face.
"You know, Dexter," you say, breaking the silence. "I don't think I've ever met anyone quite like you."
He turns to look at you, his dark eyes meeting yours. For a moment, he doesn't say anything, and you worry that you've said something wrong.
But then he speaks, his voice low and quiet. "And I've never met anyone quite like you, either."
You feel your heart skip a beat at his words, and you suddenly realize that there's a tension between you that you haven't felt before. You both seem to realize it at the same time, and there's a moment of awkward silence.
Finally, Dexter breaks the tension. "Y/N, can I ask you something?"
"Of course," you reply.
He takes a deep breath. "Would you like to go out with me sometime? Outside of the ring, I mean."
You feel a rush of excitement at his words. "Yes, I would love to."
A small smile tugs at the corners of his mouth. "Good. How about dinner tomorrow night?"
You agree, feeling your heart swell with happiness. As you leave the gym that day, you can't help but feel like this is the start of something special with Dexter Lumis.
