Almost Aligned | A CM Punk x Reader
It's 2008, Jenny, a 24-year-old backstage production assistant at WWE, never expected to fall for one of the company's top stars, let alone the famously straight-edge and sharp-witted CM Punk. What began as quiet glances and shy conversations soon turned into flirty banter, late-night texts, and something neither of them were quite ready to name.
Between long travel days, hotel rooms, and the chaotic rhythm of wrestling life, Jenny finds herself drawn deeper into Phil Brooks' world, and his heart. But balancing work, feelings, and the fear of getting hurt isn't easy. Especially when your crush is charming, guarded, and well experienced.
Told with intimacy, warmth, and all the fluttery tension of a slow-burn romance, Almost Aligned is a story about found connection in unlikely places, the quiet thrill of growing close, and what happens when two people realize they don't want to let go.
