You sit on the floor by the big window in your hotel room. You watch as the snow falls. You came home to Canada with Tyler for the weekend but you regret it, since your family hasn't talked to you since you left in the middle of the night to train to wrestle with Tyler in the States. They were always against it, but you defied them and left.

The snow looks beautiful as it silently falls and covers the buildings surrounding the small hotel.

As you watch the snow fall, you start to think about going home to your parents. You miss them. You're positive that they probably haven't even watched one of your matches.

Your parents have both been against wrestling since you were young. They stopped you whenever they could from watching it or reading about it. Of course you were always best friends with Tyler Breeze, who went on to become one time NXT Tag Team Champions.

About two years ago, he reached out and said he was opening a wrestling school and asked you if you wanted to come down. You were 25 and still living at home because you couldn't find a stable job, until you flew to Orlando, trained for a year and a half, and got signed to NXT after several tryouts. Your parents were furious, and they cut you completely out of their lives.

Tears begin to roll down your cheeks as you think about your family and how easily they cut you out of their lives.

It's Christmas Eve and you're crying. The only person who could make you feel better is probably asleep across the hall from you.

You wipe your tears and go leave your room, knocking on Tyler's door.

If he's awake then great but if he's not then it's okay.

It's freezing in the hallway. You are standing in the hallway in black and white checkered pajama pants with a black cropped cami tank top.

After contemplating going back to your room and spending the night alone, you knock on Tyler's door.

Sighing, you wait a few seconds before knocking one more time. You wrap your arms around yourself.

You give up and turn to go back to your room. Then the door opens behind you.

"Y/N?" a sleepy Tyler asks behind you. "Are you okay? It's kind of late."

Turning around, you see Tyler. He's in grey sweatpants and no shirt. You blink and say, "Yeah, I, um, I wanted to see if you were still awake but obviously I woke you up so you can go back to sleep."

Tyler yawns and says, "It's okay. If something's wrong then I'll wake up for you."

You can't holds back tears anymore as you ask, "Can I come in?"

His eyes widen and he nods. "Yeah, come on in," he says.

Tyler moves aside and you walk into the dark room. The only light is coming from the moonlight that's coming through the window. The door shuts and Tyler walks over to you.

"What's wrong?" he ask. "You never cry so I know that something is wrong."

You sit on Tyler's bed and he kneels in front of you. You wipe away your tears and say, "I was just thinking about my parents. I haven't been back to Canada since I left, and I was thinking about visiting them. They cut me out of their lives though so I don't think they'd want to see me." Tears begin to fall again.

Tyler reaches up and wipes your tears and says, "You don't need them, Y/N. If they were able to cut you out of their lives just like that then they don't deserve you in their lives."

He's right, and you know it. Plus, you've made a new family down in Orlando on NXT. Fandango is one of your closest friends, you're Shotzi Blackheart's tag team partner, and you're close with all the members of the Undisputed Era because Tyler is close with Adam Cole so all of you hang out all the time.

You look down at Tyler as he kneels in front of you. His hands linger on your cheeks a little too long and you feel your heart begin to race in your chest.

Recently, you've found yourself feeling differently toward Tyler. When he touches you, you feel butterflies in your stomach and your heart races in your chest. You laugh at nearly everything he says, even if it's not really that funny.

"You're the best," you say. "You know that?"

Tyler smiles and says, "I try to be, especially for you."

Your cheeks heat up after Tyler makes the 'especially for you' comment. You're lucky it's dark in here or else he would have seen how red your cheeks are.

"Can we cuddle like we usually do?" you ask. "Your cuddles always make me feel better." You smile at the end of the sentence.

He nods and says, "Of course we can cuddle, Y/N. That's what I'm here for."

You giggle and both of you get under the covers. Tyler lays on his back and you rest your head on his chest. Your left arm is thrown lazily over his waist over the covers, and his right arm is casually thrown around your shoulders.

After a moment of silence, you say, "I'm sorry for waking you up. I just needed someone because I was so upset and sad."

Tyler says, "Wake me up whenever you want, Y/N. I'm your best friend. I'm supposed to be there for you, even at 2:30 in the morning and sleeping."

You laugh and look up at Tyler. He's smiling down at you.

A wave of something overcomes you and you lean up, kissing Tyler gently.

He pulls back in surprise and your eyes widen. You say, "Tyler, I am so sorry. I don't know what overcame me."

"Y/N, relax," he says. "It's just a kiss. Plus, I kinda liked it."

You tilt your head in confusion and ask, "What?"

Tyler gives a little nervous laugh and says, "I've liked you for a little while, like in more than a friend way. I just never thought you felt the same."

"I do," you quickly say. "I have liked you for a while too."

He smiles and says, "Let me take you out tomorrow on a Christmas date. We'll get hot chocolate and go ice skating like we both love to do. Then we'll have dinner at my parents' house since it is Christmas."

You smile at Tyler and say, "Let's do it."
