I'll Never Hurt You

SUMMARY: You and Baron get into an argument and you flinch when you think he might hurt you. He then assures you that he'd never hurt you. ANGST. FLUFF.

"Baron, it's okay." You said as you watched him pace around your hotel room.

"It's okay? It's okay!" Baron said as he started to raise his voice as he looked at you. "I just got screwed! I cash in my Money In the Bank case and Vince's little puppet Cena comes out and costs me the match! I look like a fucking joke!"

You swallowed a lump as you looked at Baron. The anger was visible in him. His face was reddened, the veins in his neck were popping out, and you could see him clenching and unclenching his fists. You tried not to think about the abusive ex-boyfriend in your past.

"Maybe you can talk to Daniel or Shane-"

"Yeah, like they'll do anything." Baron scoffed with a roll of his eyes. "Daniel's too busy following Brie around like a little puppy. And we all know a guy born with a fucking silver spoon in his mouth isn't gonna say a word to the so called face of the company or his father."

"Baron- you need to calm down." You said nervously. He was starting to scare you by this point.

"Calm down? I need to calm down?" He said in a voice just below a yell. He was looking at you like you had just suggested the most absurd thing in the world.

"Yes, you need to calm down." You said nervously as you glanced down at your hands.

"I'm not going to calm down. I should go find Cena and beat his ass."

"Baron, stop!" You said as you stood up. Despite how scared you were and how fast your heart was racing, you weren't going to let Baron ruin his career by getting in a fight with John.

"Get out of my way." Baron grumbled.

"No." You said.

"Get out of my way. Now." He said.

"I'm not letting you leave. I won't let you throw your career away like that." You said.

He stared down at you. His eyes were dark with anger and for the first time in your relationship you were scared of him. The second you saw him raising his hand you flinched and put your hands up in defense.

"Babe-" Baron said. His voice was soft, a stark contrast from how it had been moments before. "Baby, look at me." Baron asked softly.

You took a deep breath and looked up at him. His eyes were soft, the regret written on his features.

"I'm sorry." Baron said as his fingers gently wiped away the tears at the corners of your eyes. "You know I'd never hurt you, right?"

You wanted to say yes. More than anything you wanted to say yes. But the anger that flashed in his eyes for a moment paired with the abuse in your past, you couldn't say yes.

"Y/n," Baron said as he took your hand and led you over to the bed. He sat down on the bed and looked up at you while stroking the back of your hand gently with his thumb. "I don't care what happens or how mad I am. I'll never hurt you. Ever." He said.

"But what if-"

"Nothing could ever make me hurt you. You mean too much to me." Baron said as he looked up at you with sad eyes. "I don't care how pissed off I am. You're one person I'll never hurt. Wouldn't even think of it."

You stood there looking at him.

"Do you believe me?"

It took you a minute but you could see the truth in his eyes. His eyes had always been your window to his soul. You could read exactly what he was thinking and feeling with just one look. And as you looked into his eyes you could see the truth. Baron would never lay a hand on you.

"I believe you." You said.

Baron sighed and pulled you down onto his laps. He wrapped his arms around you and held you close to him. You relaxed as you laid your head on his shoulder and breathed in his smell.

"I'm so sorry. I love you, baby." Baron whispered before pressing his lips to your forehead.
