Crossing The Line. - Becky Lynch x Seth Rollins.

Chapter Six.

Needless to say, Seth barely got any sleep.

In fact, the only reason he was able to doze off in broken naps was because of how exhausted his body was. Now, it was the fifth time he had woken up to readjust his position whilst being cramped in the tiny sofa that can hardly support his legs. He curses his lanky height. Seth felt his eyes straining when he decided to open them.

From the window, he sees the sun starting to rise. He groans and internally sobs as he shuts his eyes, trying his very best to savour what little time he has left before he gets dragged off his feet to do god knows what.

He gets interrupted by loud and heavy knocking on the door.

Seth grumbles and lifts the pillow under his head to cover his ears instead, hoping the noise would disappear if he ignores it long enough.

Knock-knock-knock-knock-knock!

"For Christ's sake." He groans while lazily fumbling to get up to answer the persistent person at the door.

In nothing but a loose white shirt and a pair of black shorts with his hair sticking out everywhere, he opens the door with a very displeased face. He was greeted by a construction worker who looked startled and slightly confused for a brief moment.

"Seth, right?"

Seth was taken aback by the sudden interrogation and looked behind the man to see if there is any construction site nearby and wonder if his presence or identity to it is necessary.

The man at the door laughs a bit and shakes his head. "Oh, sorry. Uh, I'm Kevin." He extends his hand to shake, smiling.

Eyebrows still furrowed, Seth shook his hand tentatively. His brain still wasn't fully awake yet so he had a hard time trying to formulate a proper question to articulate how utterly confused he is at the moment.

"I... er... What do you want?" He clears his throat and scrubs his eyes.

"Right, of course Becky didn't tell you..." Kevin raises his eyebrows and jerks his head to the side. "Time for work, put some trousers on. I'll be waiting in the truck within 5 minutes!" He says as he starts walking towards the lift.

Seth remains disoriented although his brain knew he should be in a hurry as he was given a time limit. Should he even trust a stranger just because he mentioned Becky? He turns and surveys around the place for trousers and as if on cue, he finds one neatly folded on the coffee table with a note that pacified his suspicions "maybe dont go flaunting around with your ass out on the first day <3". Seth rolls his eyes, gravely annoyed knowing Becky had predicted this but didn't feel quite compelled to properly inform him about it beforehand. Seth quickly puts them on then dashes towards the lift.

During the ride, Seth desperately tried getting more sleep but to no avail as Kevin was obnoxiously narrating numerous anecdotes from his life. Something about the joys of fatherhood and being a good husband despite stealing food from the inventory or something then about the park that had an amazing view of the sunset. It was incredibly difficult to dismiss Kevin despite Seth's attempts as he could easily find a conversation starter with anything he sees.

Seth was sat, face-palming as a way to lean his head on the car door and to also deal with the insistent chattering to his side, until they finally slowed to a stop. He glances outside and sees a large house on a hill by a cliff, he felt a strange tug of familiarity to the scene. This feeling was alarming and it baffled him but was briefly snapped out of his trance with Kevin calling to him, who was already on the pathway to the said house.

Quickly, Seth got off the truck and clumsily followed Kevin.

They turned to one corner behind the house and was met with more of Kevin's construction team in the middle of their project. There was a big rectangular pit with steel rods to maintain the shape of the hole.
