Reveal

"Well..." Sami started, looking down at his hands resting in his lap. Adrian turned to his long time friend, his lips forming a straight line as he waited for Sami to continue.

"You did good out there. Really." Not what Sami intended to say at the time, but the words spoke the truth. Despite wanting to beat one of his closest friends in the match on the Takeover 2 live event, he was also happy in an odd way that Adrian retained. Better than Tyson (with a new attitude that wasn't just for the cameras) or Breeze winning. Tyler wasn't totally a bad guy, however his feelings toward Tyler could have also been for getting the number one contender ship in the first place. Sami didn't know why he didn't like Breeze a lot.

"Thanks; I guess." Adrian shrugged, adjusting the title on his shoulder. He didn't think that would be what Sami would have said. He guessed something along the lines of; 'You and Breeze, what happened after the match?' But that didn't come out. Instead, a congratulations that wasn't really needed.

Adrian was at least friendly with everyone on the roster, but when Sami passed his friend in a dark spot in one of the hallways. Neville held his title in his lap, sitting closely beside Tyler. Too close to the other man. And then Tyler's fingers had brushed over the back of Adrian's hand which rested on the floor where they sat.

Not that Sami cared if any of his male friends were in relationships with other men, it was the fact that Adrian had kept it such a secret. He wouldn't be that friendly with any one of his friends. And there was also the reasoning that it seemed like the two men (or, at the very least Tyler) couldn't stand each other only a couple of weeks before.

Neville rose from the chair he sat in; crossing the room to where his bed was, reaching for his phone on the beside table. Appearing on the lock screen, a new text message from Tyler was seen.

'I'm coming over soon, don't want to surprise you again. ;)' Adrain tried not to smile. The thought of when Tyler had first appeared in Adrain's hotel room a couple of nights after their first kiss had caught the Brit by surprise, one that had Neville's dinner burning being caught up in the blonde's presence; they had ordered a large amount of takeout for the pair while they spent the night together in the room. Part of Adrian wanted to be in Tyler's apartment, where it seemed cosier and more like a home.

"You alright, man?" Sami asked, still sitting at the table near the kitchen space. Adrian moved his head up and down; thinking for an excuse to get Sami to leave in the nicest way he possibly could. Before Neville could even think of any excuse, there was a loud series of knocks at his room door. Sami opened the door quickly.

"Oh, it's you." The words sound unusually harsh from Sami, and he turned slowly to Adrian with a momentary glare. "It's for you." Sami moved out of the front door, (he didn't have any belongings apart from his phone which was in his pocket) bumping shoulders with the person in the doorway. It was Tyler, standing in the frame.

"What's his problem," Tyler asked, closing the door behind him. He leaned on the wall closest to him, arms folded over his chest; his gaze looking directly at Adrain.

"I don't know," Neville ran a hand through his long hair; scratching at his neck softly. "Something probably pissed him off today." Tyler knew Adrian was lying, but didn't say anything. He didn't want to pressure the other man.

"Why are you over here?"

"Why shouldn't I be?" The question Tyler asked had answered Adrian's. Tyler was right; he had no reason to not be around Neville, just as he had every reason to stay away. However, the blonde chose the former option, the latter being what he would have decided upon several weeks ago. Before he had gotten to know Adrian, finally looking past the man's looks (or maybe they had just grown on him?) and getting to see that there had been some people that made the Brit change slightly. Neville kept face for everyone, but Breeze was one of the few who saw whom Adrian liked and disliked.
