Holy Shida (Hikaru Shida X Italian OC) [REWORKED]

Final ROH Match Part 1

~With Marc~

Saturday before I wrestle for AEW, I gotta wrestle my last match in Ring of Honor. I asked Hikaru if she was interested in seeing what I can do, even though I'm gonna put over Eli Isom, a young up-and-coming talent in ROH. She said sure and we were in Madison Square Garden for that particular event.

When we got to MSG, it was magical, because not only will it be my last match in Ring of Honor, it's also the last time I'll be in the greatest sports arena in the world.

In the men's locker room, a lot of my friends, Jay Lethal, Marty Scurll, Flip Gordon, Jonathan Gresham, and Jeff Cobb, they were a bit emotional because I won't be back to ROH for the time being.

Jeff: Can't believe you're leaving.

Me: I know, but I'll be back. I don't know when, but I hope someday AEW and Ring of Honor can a negotiation and we get to work together.

Jay: Man, I agree. I want to work for AEW, but with ROH in a frenzy, I don't know.

Me: Well, we just need to have some faith that'll happen.

Eli came over to see me and I gotta say, he's the nicest kid ever. He always makes every match he's in almost an action-packed movie, whether it's a twenty minute match or a thirty minute match, he always steals the show no matter what. Not to mention he's in his mid-twenties, which is pretty incredible considering that Eli's athletic and carries a lot of charisma to the ring.

Eli: You ready for tonight?

Me: Sí. I will miss Ring of Honor, but I will thrive in AEW.

Eli: What are the plans for tonight's match?

Me: I put you over in my last match.

Eli: That's the plan. See you out there?

Me: Absolutely.

As he was walking away, I asked Eli to come here once more.

Me: Eli.

He looked back at me and I had to say the most passionate line I've ever said.

Me: It will be an honor to put you over, signor.

He smirked and offered a fist bump. I had to connect because this is my last match in ROH.

Shida came in the locker room to check on me, and some of the guys were a little jealous because she came to see me before the match.

Hikaru: Are you doing okay? You seem a bit emotional.

Me: I am. My stint in ROH is coming to an end, I have to be emotional.

Hikaru: I can't blame you. Listen, I have no problem driving you back home once it's over. As your friend, I'm happy to do it.

Me: Really? Then what was that kiss on my cheek the other day about? I thought we agreed not to express our feelings until we know for sure we're having a relationship?

Hikaru: That's true, but I can't hold myself any longer. Marc, I like you.

She likes me? As in "like" like?"

Me: What?

Hikaru: Marc, I like you too much to the point I can't hold it in any longer.

Me: I like you too, but can't we do this another time? I don't mean it in a rude way, I just don't feel comfortable doing it here.

Hikaru seemed offended, but she knew I didn't mean to be rude.

Hikaru: I understand, Marc. We can talk about it later. Right now, I'll let you be ready.
