AJ was looking groggy. Feeling it a little too. Being caught on the back of the neck could easily set your equilibrium off and that had happened this time. It was slowly resetting but he had no time to sit around and wait for it. He was in the middle of a six man tag match with Mark Henry and his new lover, Chris Jericho facing the New Day.
He was the legal man in the match, Mark had just been taken out by a Trouble in Paradise kick from Kofi Kingston and little did AJ know, he was next on the list.
He fought within himself to drag his somewhat unwilling body to its feet, using the white ropes. Staggering as he turned, his sight at the very last second saw the incoming foot-
"AJ!" He felt himself be pushed away, under the kick coming in.
Chris took the kick, right to the left eye then sending in backwards outside the ring clutching his eye. AJ had somehow been able to see what Chris had done and immediately rose to his feet to viciously clothesline Kofi, sending his flipping until his body reached the floor.
Xavier Woods tried his luck against AJ as he was the fellow legal man but AJ just wanted this match done. After throwing punches and kicks at Xavier, he glanced over at Chris who was still clutching his left eye.
His opponent took this as a prime opportunity to punch AJ hard in the mouth as he looked back towards him, sending AJ into the ropes. He clutched onto the ropes as Xavier tried to pull him backwards. AJ maneuvered himself to be able roll and lock in the calf crusher on Xavier who immediately tapped out.
Winners, Mark Henry, Chris Jericho and AJ Styles.
Chris was just rolling into the ring when AJ immediately appeared at his side, his chocolate orbs filled with concern, worry for his lover.
"Chris? How bad is it?"
"It's alright. I'll be fine. Can you help me to my feet please?"
"Of course, of course. On three... one... two... three." AJ pulled Chris to his feet as Mark finally emerged back in the ring to celebrate the win.All three stood with their hands held high in the ring for a few moments... well until AJ couldn't fight off the urge to check Chris' eye while he wouldn't be expecting it.
"CHRIS! That's not good."
"It'll be fine in a few days."
"You're getting that checked out."
"Am I?"
"Yes. Chris, it's already swollen. I'd be convinced it wasn't too bad if the swelling hadn't appeared so quick."
"Stop worrying would you?"
"I can't help it."
"Let's just get back there huh? See if we can get you to stop worrying so much."
"Alright."Mark left the ring first. AJ then guided Chris out the ring, staying by his right side. AJ couldn't help but keep lightly tapping Chris' back. It was somewhat soothing, a pain killer for Chris. He knew AJ, his AJ, was there for him and he wasn't going anywhere.
"Where's the trainers room?"
"Just down the left corridor and then turn right."
"Thanks.""Who knew AJ Styles could be such a doting boyfriend?"
"Shut up Chris. And yes I can be a very good doting boyfriend. I'm really worried about your eye right now."
"I'm sure it's nothing."
"I'm not taking any risks Chris. Your health is extremely important. Screw anything else."
"Screw the world and everything and everyone?"
"Yep. Screw them all. You are the only important one right now."
"You are so damn sweet. I could kiss you right now." AJ had moved to Chris' left. Chris went to hold AJ face to pull him into a kiss, instead he accidently poked AJ in his eye.
"Owww! Chris!"
"Sorry, thought I'd got you right."
"You didn't! Owww."
"AJ, forgive me."
"I do. Can you see through that eye?"
"Of course. Come on, let's get us both checked out now."
"Good idea."
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to."
"I know. It's alright."
