"I can't believe you didn't just take the elevator like the rest of us" Laughed a familiar voice. Cesaro looked up from carrying his rather large suitcase up 7 flights of stairs to see Seth Rollins holding the door open for him. "You've not been stood there long have you?" Questioned the tall Swiss man not even out of breath before smoothing down his suit.
"Not too long" smiled Seth. "Just thought I best check up on you before you go to bed...I know how much you hate traveling without Sheamus" Seth added with concern showing on his face.
Cesaro tried to smile before sighing "that obvious?". Seth nodded and gently rested his hand on Cesaro's shoulder trying to comfort his friend.
~~~~~~~~~
The pair made their way down the tiny hotel corridor trying to avoid their bags colliding. "Well this is my room, I let Dean go ahead so he could see if we get cartoons on our tv" Seth laughed and leaned on the doorframe. "If you need us you where to find us. Hope you can actually sleep tonight, man"
"Thanks, Seth, enjoy your evening. I'll just play some clash and call it a night, that flights got to me. Na night" Cesaro waved as Seth slowly entered his room. He could just about hear Dean shouting a warm welcome as he headed towards his own room. Cesaro's heart felt heavy. It had been over a week since he had received that sort of affection from sharing a room with someone.
Cesaro hesitantly swiped his key card and opened his room door. He peered into the room slowly before sighing and heading to the closest bed and flopping down onto it.
The room was large and spacious with two double beds. Cesaro did wonder why WWE insisted on getting him and his partner two beds when they were perfectly fine with sharing. In fact, they were more than fine with it, it was their preferred way to sleep.
Cesaro stared up at the ceiling wondering what time it was where Sheamus was. Sheamus was back home for a while he recovered from a recent injury. Cesaro's phone vibrated in his pocket, he quickly pulled it to see he had received 25 notifications. Not one of them from Sheamus.
Throwing the phone down on the bed he noticed a name tag fall off a pillow. He reached for the piece of paper "Sheamus?". Cesaro's heart sped up before sinking realizing the WWE booked these rooms in advance. He scrunched up the paper before throwing it onto the floor.
Cesaro quickly pulled one of the pillows into his chest and clenched it tightly. wishing it was Sheamus in his arms instead.
~~~~~~~~~~
Cesaro decided getting a shower was the best solution for him relax before trying to get some well-deserved rest.
Seth did invite him to go grab some food with him and Dean. He declined knowing he wouldn't be the best of company in his current mood.
Cesaro usually loved getting showers as they allowed him to feel relaxed and calm. They allowed him time to think, which he instantly regretted. Thoughts of Sheamus clouding his mind.
Sheamus had always told him not to worry about him but Cesaro couldn't help it. Ever since Sheamus had confided in him about his neck injury he had wanted to protect him. Forever worrying when he had to take any blows or risky moves which could cause further injury to his partner. Tears slowly rolled down his cheeks as he slid down of the back of the shower, head in hands.
Him and Sheamus had spent quite large periods of time apart in the past, but this radio silence was getting to him. They would message each other every day, all day until one of them fell asleep. But not now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally convincing himself to get out of the shower, Cesaro wrapped a towel around his waist and headed back to his room. He opened his case looking for his usual sleep attire. One of his Celtic Warrior vests, that Sheamus gave him and boxers.
He checked his phone one again as he climbed into bed. Still nothing from Sheamus. The Swiss man let out a long sigh before resting his phone on his bedside table.
Cesaro's eyes darted around the room. The clock on the wall read 00:25, so much for an early night, he thought to himself. The room was dimly lit by the bedside lamp and the light coming in through the bathroom door. He sighed realising he forgot to turn it off.
He hesitantly kicked off the sheets and crawled out of bed heading towards the bathroom door. Loud thumping on his door stopped him in his tracts, causing the Swiss man to turn his attention to the door. He made his way over and looked through the peephole. Butterflies suddenly filling his stomach.
Seeing who was on the other side of the door Cesaro swung it open nearly breaking it off its hinges. "Hi, fella" laughed an awkward Irish man. Cesaro was frozen. "You wouldn't believe the hell I went through to get here" smiled Sheamus as he pulled his partner into a tight hug and kissed his forehead. Cesaro slowly slid his hands up Sheamus's back holding onto his jacket tightly, still in shock.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you I was coming but I wanted to see your reaction" Sheamus confessed pulling Cesaro in closer. Cesaro was unsure how to respond. He felt angry but having his partner in his arms again slowly faded out those feelings.
"Never do that to me again, Sheamy. I was so worried about you" pouted cesaro, now looking deep into Sheamus' blue eyes. The Irish man stared back, his facial expression soft. "I won't, I promise" he smiled before leaning in and giving his partner a soft yet passionate peck on the lips.
Before Cesaro had time to react, he had already pulled away. "Right. What we doing still stood out in the hallway? Time for bed" Sheamus laughed and braced his arms ready for Cesaro to jump up into them. Cesaro's face beemed with happiness as he jumped into his arms and was carried back into the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sheamus smirked seeing how many of his shirts Cesaro had packed. "It's like you love me or something" laughed Sheamus picking up one of shirts before being smacked in the head by a pillow from across the room.
"Just put on a clean shirt and come to bed" yawned Cesaro. Sheamus stared at Cesaro lovingly, thinking to himself how lucky he was to have been put together with this man he now adored. "Whatcha smiling about, Sheamy?" Cesaro asked rubbing his eyes.
"Oh, nothing. Be a minute" he said before quickly changing his clothes, which resulted in a whistle from Cesaro. "Oh shhh, I wear less in the ring" he giggled and made his way over to bed.
"Oh I know" smirked Cesaro who burst out laughing before moving over to make room for Sheamus. Sheamus climbed into bed and slowly wrapped his arms around Cesaro and resting his face against his shoulder. Cesaro gripped onto his large muscular arms feeling completely at peace. The two finally back in their rightful place, each others arms.
