(Un)Break me - Rhea Ripley x reader

A chance for a win at heart

 I don't know if I'm your type but I adore your vibe

Rhea's POV

After that day, I've grown fond of Y/N as we started spending more time together, sending each other memes and hanging out from time to time. I noticed that whenever we'd go for a chill plan like staying home and watching movies she would always fall asleep on my shoulder.

She told me it doesn't happen often that she simply falls asleep like that with people around. "Hell, I don't even like getting close to people that much, let alone sleeping on them!" She would say.

"Hahah no worries. You can call me whenever you need a pillow, I'm glad to be at your service." Is what usually replied.

"Maybe it's because I can feel at ease with you". She told me once when drifting off.

It has become our little tradition. If we had free time, she would come over and we would just chill until she fell asleep. From the amount of times she's texted me random stuff at 5AM, I know how bad her insomnia can get and if being with me helps her get some rest, then I'm glad to be there for her.

Besides, it's not exactly a burden to me, despite what she may think. I really enjoy her presence and the way she sleeps curled up beside me is always cute.

"Maybe I should ask her out"

"Finally!" Dominik, Finn and Damian say in unison. Ever since the beginning they've been telling me I act differently towards her and that I have a crush on her. Maybe they're right.

"I don't even know if she likes me like that!". They give me an annoyed look. I stare at them dumb folded by their reaction.

"You're not possibly being serious right now". Damian says.

"Mami you really don't have to worry about that, the girl's been practically drooling over you since day one". Dominik complements.

I think about it for a moment. It'd be nice having someone outside the wrestling world for a change of perspective. All my previous boyfriends have been from the field and as much as I really enjoyed having someone sharing goals with me, they couldn't seem to let their selfishness aside or accept that I could be better than them. I am not bragging, it took me a lot of effort and courage to get me where I am and now that I finally accept myself, I won't shrink into a specific role someone wants me to play.

"Alright, I'll do it after the fight tonight" I hope the adrenaline from the fight makes me not panic.

It was the Raw Women's Championship and I'm going for the win: a win in the ring and a win of heart. And to be honest, the latter made me more anxious.

Y/N's POV

Tonight you and your colleagues were watching Rhea's fight for the Raw Women's Championship and excitement was running through your veins, not only because it was actually the first fight you were seeing live, but also because you got an All Access Pass. Being on the social media team had its perks. Scratch that. You knew damn well who was the reason behind you being the only one in the team with an AA Pass.

But hey, being friends with Rhea Ripley had its perks, you couldn't deny it.

And a lot of them, actually. From meeting some of your biggest idols to being able to actually get some sleep when she's around and talking random shit without being judged.

All of this only made you want to spend more and more time with her. When this thought crossed your mind was when you realized you're fucked.

—

The fight was simply incredible and you were so blown away by how Rhea had it under control the whole time that you couldn't even 'do your job' properly. As you were there under the (false) premise of being the social media girl.

She ended up winning the fight and of course your brain went into glitch mode: you couldn't do anything but squeal and laugh when you went backstage to congratulate her. Rhea had her back to the door when you got there, she was excitedly talking to Damian, Finn and Dominik.

You hugged her from behind, not bothered by things that would usually bother you (like sweat and physical touch). "Congratulations! Oh my god you did amazing out there!" She tensed for a second before turning to hug you properly.

The men left, leaving you two alone. She split the hug to look you in the eye. "Oh thank you!" She laughed. That laugh is gonna be the end of you.

"Um... Y/N... I've been meaning to ask you, would you like to go with me? Like, on a date? It's ok if you don't though, I-" Rhea started, while scratching the back of her neck.

"I do!" You don't even let her finish. Did Raw Women's Champion Rhea Ripley just ask you out on a date? You swear you're gonna wake up any minute.

"Rhea come! The press conference starts in 5!" The voice of Rhea's personal assistant sounded through the room.

"I have to go, talk to you later?"

"Sure!"

You follow her to the conference room and watch from afar while making some videos with Sebastian.
