“Come on, Y/N, I know you can kick harder than that!” Elias took another one of your kicks to his side, grunting in pain and approval. “Much better.” He continued to be your personal punching bag.

You had just moved up to the main roster, but while NXT had taught you many things you still felt a little unprepared. Your first match had been a disaster. Afterwards, from around a corner, you had even heard Miz joke that Curt Hawkins might break his streak if he fought you. Elias stood up for you, then bumped into you on his way out of the room. Miz still doesn’t know you heard him, but since then Elias had been helping you learn what he did after he moved up from NXT. Pointing out the differences in style and promos, and helping you further develop your shtick.

“How long are we gonna do this?” you moaned. Everyone else was gone from the training center. They had left hours ago and now it was extremely dark outside. You leaned against the ropes and used them to stretch out your back, wondering what time it was.

“Until you pin me.” Elias evaded a series of hits and flipped you onto the canvas. “We’ve got all night.”

You groaned. No matter how exhausted you were going to be, you did appreciate the help. You just wished he would split up the lessons into smaller chunks! Though, you couldn’t deny you liked watching him move in the ring. The way his hair framed his face, making him look like a lion. Where’d that thought come from?

Elias cocked his head; his eyebrows twitched to meet as he caught you staring.

From your position on the canvas, you suddenly seized Elias’s arm and caught him in a triangle lock. Believable distraction, right? He attempted to lift you like Roman does when’s he’s in a lock, but you arched your back to prevent him from getting far. The arch had an unfortunate backfire though, and Elias fell on top of you.

“Sorry.” “Sorry, didn’t mean to…” You both stopped talking and froze.

How long had his eyes been that grey? Like the sky before a summer storm.

How long had his lips been that… inspiring? Bet they taste good… no! Snap out of it, Elias.

Elias cleared his throat and pulled back. He sat back on the canvas trying to breathe smoothly enough to keep his heart from pumping out of his chest. Was Y/N’s slump in his shoulders from exhaustion, or disappointment?

Elias licked his lips. “Do… do you want to keep going? Training, I mean.” Of course training. What else would he be doing with you? In the training center. In the middle of the night. Alone.

“Uh, no. I think I’m too tired to pin you tonight. Maybe tomorrow?” Y/N looked at him with bright eyes, though for a split second he thought they flickered with something.

“Sure. Let’s clean up then grab some junk food.”

He watched Y/N exit the ring and head for the locker room. He turned at the last minute and observed Elias still sitting on the canvas. “You coming?”

“Yeah.”


A week later, you were doing the same thing. You had won your match on Monday, though you wanted to work out a few things. Elias heard your worries and put them to rest by helping you move snappier and start working on thinking three steps ahead.

As you were changing out, you thought back on the workout. Were his hands bushing against you coincidence, or did the touch linger a second longer than that? Did you do the same enough to hint that you wanted more if he was even asking? At least twice you caught him staring at your lips. But to be fair, you may have missed more for getting lost in his gaze. He only had to snap his fingers in front of your face once, and you brushed it off as “strategizing,” which may not have been far from the truth.

“Welp,” Elias said, breaking through your thoughts, “I’m out. See you tomorrow… if you are going on the house show tour?”

“No, unfortunately. Kurt said I could next week, but I wanted to ask you something before accepting.” You swallowed, willing your mouth to not be dry. “Can… can I ask you a question?”

“Shoot.”

Why was this so hard? You wanted to ask him one thing but said something else.

“Do you want to tag team for a bit? We haven’t been training together that long, but since we both have issues with Heath and Rhyno, I thought maybe… I mean… if you want to.” You waved the fumbled option away. “Never mind. Stupid. You’re busy with Miz and… just forget it.” Frustrated with yourself, you turned back to your stuff.

“Actually, I wouldn’t mind some help.”

You spun back around.

“Really,” he continued. “Bo and Curtis had fun singing with me, but their allegiance is with Miz. I’ve pissed him off and racing him for the Intercontinental puts me number one on their hit list.” Elias shifted his weight and waited for your answer.


If he thought his chest was going to explode last week… he was about ready to pass out now. He couldn’t believe he just asked Y/N to help him with the Miztourage. Y/N already had a feud idea, why did he suggest another one?

Elias was so lost in his head he almost missed Y/N’s reply.

“Sure.”

He couldn’t help the smile that broke out across his face. “Great. You don’t have to sing or anything, unless you want to. Honestly, I think they are going to jump me during my solo on Monday so we can plan from that.”

The strategic planning that followed made Elias feel like he was glowing from the inside out. If this went well, perhaps the team up could evolve into something more. If he was reading everything right.


Like Elias thought, Bo and Curtis were waiting in the shadows while Miz watched from the announce table. What they weren’t expecting, was for you to also be sitting in the ring. The crowd went wild as you and Elias tossed the Miztourage out of the ring. The match was changed from Elias vs. Bo to the pair of you against the pair of them. Of course, Miz got involved in the end but you were ready for him. Elias pinned Curtis while you fought off Miz and Bo, sending them both scuttling to collect their partner.

Backstage, your skin buzzed with the win. The locker room was empty, leaving plenty of space for you to allow yourself the childish moment of jumping around the room with joy.

Elias caught you midair from jumping off a bench. “You were fantastic!” He dropped you to your feet and clapped you on the back before pulling you in for a hug. A second later his lips were pressed against your forehead.

You froze in his arms.


Shit. Shit. Shit.

The fear in his tag teammate’s eyes sent terrified ice through his veins. He meant to be more subtle. Meant to work up to it. The hype from the win… how close they felt.

Shit. He just ruined it.

And yet, Y/N wasn’t moving away. To be fair, neither was he.

Elias held his breath while Y/N held his. He watched as Y/N’s eyes flicked across his face. Searching.


If you didn’t move, you were going to explode.

You leaned in for a kiss, hovering just above contact.

The door burst open, making you hurriedly take several steps backwards. The Balor Club entered, said hello while grabbing their stuff, then left for the night. Neither of you had moved an inch.

You wiped your hands on your tights. “We should probably-“

“-pack up. Agreed.” Elias turned to his gym bag and packed while you turned to yours.

Earlier in the evening the two of you agreed to carpool with Sheamus and Cesaro. It had only taken ten minutes to get from the hotel to the arena before the show, but the drive back felt like it took hours. The Bar split from you at the elevator, leaving you and Elias to make the decision to split at your neighboring doors… or to pause again.


Y/N was hesitant to take the final two steps to his door. He turned back around to Elias, his eyes again searching his face for a sign in any direction. Elias leaned forward and kissed the part of his shoulder visible between the straps of his tank top and the slipping jacket. Y/N sighed in pleasure and angled his head away to give more access to his neck. Elias kissed higher up his neck. Light kisses. Slow and rhythmic to allow at any moment the chance to evade or lean in closer. Y/N leaned forward, lips parted ever so slightly making Elias’s heart pump blood faster.

Elias kissed Y/N on the cheek and hovered over his lips. “Do you want to come inside?”

“Yes,” he whispered.

Elias’s stomach did a flip. He hastily searched his pockets for the room key, barely making it into the slot before he was kissing Y/N again and ushering him into the room. How he kept his hands on his bags all the way to the bed he’ll never know. Once the edge of the bed hit the sides of their knees, every thought slipped away into one: “Y/N. Y/N. Y/N.”

His hands began to roam his body. He teased the bottom edges of the tank top, but Y/N helped his shirt off first. His fingertips were cold brushing across his chest, making Elias gasp. Again, he teased at Y/N’s shirt, but his hands were suddenly pushed away and Y/N scooted backward.

“I’m sorry. It’s just… I should have told you. I… oh.” Y/N’s eyes darted around the room, looking everywhere but at Elias.

“Hey, it’s okay,” Elias murmured. “If you’re not ready or if you don’t want this-“

“I do want this,” Y/N stammered. “It’s just…”

“You can tell me. Take your time.” Elias could see the wheels turning in his head, and sat back to wait patiently.

“I… I’m trans,” he blurted.

If Elias could take the moment back, he would. The confused shake of his head filled Y/N’s face with panic. He had to admit, he wasn’t expecting that. But did it really change anything? It was still Y/N. Same smile, same way he moved in the ring. Labels weren’t going to change the love he felt.

Love.

There it was. Already?

Elias inhaled deeply through his nose and gathered his thoughts.

“You are still a man.” He scooted forward and cupped his hands under Y/N’s elbows. “My man, if you’ll have me.” He watched Y/N’s face, which was still bordering on leaving broken. Elias took another quick breath. “Tell me what to do. Show me what you need.” He backed off and held out his hand to Y/N, holding it steady for if he wanted to take it. Elias held back a sigh of relief when their hands were clasped; he gave a Y/N a slight tug to pull him closer. He rubbed his thumb across the back of his hand. “Hey, I may still be learning the ropes at this but I’m going to do everything I can to make you feel good. Okay?”


His face read as sincere. He also seemed just as nervous as you. With a nod and a second’s hesitation, you pulled off your shirt and let it join the growing pile of clothes on the ground. Elias lightly traced the scars on your chest with his fingertips. His touch continued to roam; one hand went up to play along the edge of your collarbone, the other dipped to trace down your stomach and come to rest on your waist. Your eyes shut as Elias once again kissed across your cheekbones to your lips, meeting them like matching puzzle pieces.

“Tell me,” he murmured, “what do I do?”

You wanted to stay like this forever, but at the same time, your body yearned for more. “Do you have lube?”

“Mhhm.” Elias broke away and went to search his bag. “Condom?” he asked.

“Yes, please.” You removed the rest of your clothing and sat back down on the bed, hiding yourself and suddenly unsure again.

Seeing you naked, Elias followed suit. His length was ready and the tip glistened slightly with precum. He gave it a few pumps while you watched before opening the little silver packet and slipping on the condom. When he came back to the bed, you were finding it hard to remove your hand from your lap. He took it, and watching your face or any sign to stop, lifted it away.

“You’re perfect.”

Slowly he laid you back, towering over you and waiting for your request. The dance that followed was like moving with him in the ring. He followed your sounds and how you leaned into his touch to know what to do. While your fingers curled themselves in his hair, his lips again latched onto yours. His tongue gained entry while his warm hands moved down your body. You heard the click of the tube, then felt the slightly cold sensation of Elias teasing his finger at your hole. He moved slowly, waiting for each moan and sigh of encouragement before moving.

When you were open and wet enough to both of your satisfaction, Elias hooked his arms under your legs and tilted you back further so he could begin to sink into you. Centimeters at a time, and inches per breath he filled you until there was nothing else he could do but move. Even then, he waited. In a bit of an epiphany, you thought about how you should have known he would be this patient. It takes forever to learn guitar and even longer to compose.

“Elias,” you whined, “please.”

You rocked to start the rhythm. Elias moved with you, twisting and angling to find the best places that made you call out. The hand formally holding him up hovered in front of your face as he offered you two fingers. You opened your mouth and accepted them on your tongue. You laved your tongue around them while the heat intensified in your veins. Pulling his fingers away, he sucked on his thumb, then gently wrapped them around your cock. You arched off the bed. The drag of him, the fullness he gave you, and the sound of him rumbling in pleasure, pleasure he was achieving with you, sent you careening over the edge. The sound of your voice calling his name was washed out with blinding sensations as he kept moving. His rhythm tumbled apart as he chanted your name. Your vision flashed again, then both of you fell still.

Elias nearly collapsed on top of you, not that you would have minded the weight. His heaving chest bumped into yours as you fought to catch your breath. The air chilled you when he left to dispose of the condom. It was only seconds, but you were almost asleep before he came back and pulled the covers over the two of you. He gave you one last peck on the lips, then your consciousness faded away.


Y/N was asleep long before he was. Elias couldn’t help but marvel at how perfect he looked curled into his chest. It made him smile as he nuzzled closer for warmth.

Waking up to Y/N was going to be the best morning of his life.

Part 5.5 Interlude: Survivor Series

He had hoped the stroll down the back hallways would be private, not that the lack of a camera crew would have stopped Abigail and Bray from finding out anyway. He was looking for someone and hoping not to find them. He failed in the second task. Elias took a deep breath and approached Finn Balor sitting on a crate. His shoulders were rolled back and bruised from his victory last week against Samoa Joe. Finn had not forgotten about the Universal, but the absence of Y/N had him distracted.

“Wot do you want?” Finn didn’t look up from his phone. “Are ya not enjoyin’ your new… alliance?”

“Finn…”

“No.” Finn leapt to his feet and pinned Elias to the wall. “I know wot you’re doin’. You’re trying to save her from the inside.”

“You don’t,” Elias gasped behind Finn’s forearm, “you don’t think it will work?” He made eye contact with the leader of the Balor Club. No hate. No pleading. Just… resignation.

Finn sighed and stepped back. He waited for Elias to catch his breath before continuing. “Abigail will corrupt you before ya can get close enough t’ do anythin’ for Y/N. But…”

Elias held his breath and rubbed his throat.

“…if ya need help at any point, jus’ let me know.” They shared a nod. “Now ya better get yerself to tha ring. They’ll be looking for ya. And be careful.”

Finn sat back down on the crate with a sigh while Elias finished his stroll. The weight she had tried so hard to eliminate from his shoulders was back.


The fireflies flickered out as the lights came on around us. Bray paced back and forth behind me livid, and relieved.

“Drifter,” I sang into the mic. “You are late.”

“I’m here Abigail.”

I heard Bray growl. Turning, I saw Elias standing in the ring behind us with his guitar over his shoulder. Calm. Collected. Grinning like a child who has just come out of the best hiding place in the house because he couldn’t be found.

I smiled. “So you are. By your smile, I have to observe that you enjoyed your time with us.” The crowd let out a mixture of cheers and boos. I raised a finger to my lips and they silenced. “And yet, you have betrayed us.” Bray giggled while Elias’s face fell. “You owed me… us a week of allegiance. That time is not yet up. You broke our bargain, Drifter.”

Elias shifted on his feet. His fingers twiddled on the neck of his guitar and his Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat.

“But I know how easy it is to be swayed in this world.” I motioned out to the crowd around us. An idea slipped into my mind and I smiled. “I’ll make one more deal with you, Elias, one more chance. Fight Bray, again. If you win, you can leave with no repercussions, though do not expect peace if our paths cross again. Lose, you stay and continue to reap the benefits you seem to care so flippantly about.”

Elias side-eyed Bray. I could almost see the wheels turning in his head while he considered. He took a deep breath. “I agree. But I want to fight you.”

I twisted my head in confusion. “A fight for my soul? Oh, Elias, it doesn’t exist anymore,” I laughed.

“Not yours.”

Oh. The Drifter was more lovesick than I gave him credit for. “You mean to fight for Y/N’s soul. It doesn’t exist anymore, either.” Elias stared me down, refusing to back down. There could be other members to Bray and I, but if we lost our first for such a trifle reason… I looked back at Bray. He did not approve. “But I accept.”

Bray’s fists strangled invisible creatures at his sides. Elias nodded and moved to set his guitar outside the ring.

“But not right now.” My voice froze him in place. “If this is truly a match for something that matters so much to you, then it should be later tonight so you may have time to prepare. And to converse with your rival turned confidant: Finn Balor.” I smiled sticky sweet and met his terrified gaze.  

Bray sat on the ropes so I could lead us both to the bottom of the ramp. As I drew up my hood I turned one last time to Elias.

“Drifter, if you do win this match, and if you and Balor find some way to rescue Y/N, have you thought about how broken she will be? For I will not give up this vessel lightly.” I licked my lips. “Which one of you she will run to for comfort, and which one will be forgotten?” Bray and I left Elias in the ring to ponder these final questions.


Elias did not sing.

His fingers danced across the strings, playing his heart in notes and melodies that only he could understand. And yet once he was done, the entire arena gave him glory. One body. One mind. One heart.

When I won, they would become part of the Wyatt body.

The guitar’s chords were drowned out by Bray’s entrance music. The arena was dark except for the fireflies and the spotlight that followed me to the ring. Elias backed into a corner so Bray had room to circle me with his lantern. He blew out the light and circled me one more time before moving to stand on the floor. Elias and I stood on opposite ends for a second, then I let my cloak fall from my shoulders.

The blood-red ring gear was of my design. It hugged my curves and did not hide what others would call flaws. I am a woman, one who has endured centuries of hardships and I have always found myself on top. If Bray were the head of the family, he would never have let me fight in such apparel. If he had let me fight at all. But he was not in charge.

I nodded at the ref, who gave the signal for the bell to ring. The match had begun.

We met in the center. I held out my hand for him to shake with a smile. When he did not take my hand, I tilted my head to observe his conflicted face. Then I let Y/N’s muscle memory take over. Her kicks were powerful, continuously sending Elias stumbling back for several steps.

I growled when Elias’s strength began to get the upper hand. So I moved faster. Smarter. Noted weaknesses and used them.

But I made a mistake.

Bray was celebrating and applauding my skill. When I turned back from his appreciation, Elias was there. I was caught and every step I took entangled me in his next move. Elias lifted me up onto his shoulders. With a shriek I fell towards the mat, arching with the connection. I twisted out of the way before Elias could try for a pin, but my sight failed mid-crawl.


You blinked your eyes hard trying to get rid of the blinding white ring around everything. Looking up, you realized you were sitting in the ring. But you had just been on the floor? Watching Finn and Elias fight. No. Something had happened.

Bray.

You shuddered and twisted to look for him and Finn. Instead, you saw Elias staring down at you, ready to attack.

“Elias?”

What was going on?

You gripped the side of your head as searing pain filled your mind and body. Then all faded to black.


I growled and launched myself to my feet, stumbling back into the corner. Elias was eyeing me oddly. Bray circled along the outside of the ring to me, but I paced the ring away from him, mind reeling.

This had to end. Now.

I eyed Bray. He read the message and nodded back, circling the ring to stand behind Elias. I kept my focus on the Drifter, making sure he only saw me. He stepped back as I spun, then fell back as I kicked up at his face. Bray was ready for him. He trapped Elias in the ropes in the full sight of the ref. With a nod from my head, Bray began to rain down blows to Elias’s chest. He continued past the ringing of the bell halting the match.

“Your winner, by disqualification, Elias.”

Bray released him. Elias crumpled to the mat to my feet. I motioned for a mic.

“Drifter. You are cast out from the Wyatt family.”

I turned and stepped out of the ring, picking up my cloak on the way by. I pulled the hood up and rushed up the ramp, not trusting my usual way of travel.

How had she broken through?

Sister in Arms Part 5: Under the White Hood

When it is revealed that the battle to take Y/N back from Bray is more complicated than expected, Elias makes a deal that may result in him joining the Wyatt family.

Pairing: None

Warnings/Promises: wrestling violence

Word Count: ~1300

Part 1: Know You Best 

Part 4: Gone 

image

The arena pulsed with light. Crimson. Deep blues. Blinding white. Then a single white light fell on the rocking chair set up at the bottom of the ramp.

The figure sitting in the chair was wearing a white robe trimmed in decaying silver. A low laugh sounded from under the hood as fireflies began to show up in the seats.

I laughed out loud at the gasp when Bray placed his hand on my shoulder. Standing, I joined him as he led the way up the stairs with his lamp, sitting on the ropes to ease my step into the ring.

I had arrived.

Bray circled around me, spinning in glee before blowing out the lantern. I gave him the mic from my sleeve, keeping my back to the ramp and stage so I could watch him be happy in a way he had not been in a long time. His cheeks almost squeezed his eyes shut with how wide he was smiling. Lifting the mic, Bray let a giggle escape past his lips. I felt my face twitch as I suppressed a grin.

“Sister Abigail has come.”

He motioned towards me as the arena erupted with a cacophony of noises. Cheers, boos, and the frantic yelling made my blood feel alive. I remained still, basking in the welcome.

“Everything is about to change,’ Bray continued. “Nothing in the WWE will be left untouched. Power incarnate stands before you. Dissenters will fall at our feet and shudder as she passes her judgment.” He laughed and again spun, facing each wall of adoring followers. “Too long has she waited in the darkness. Her light will shine over all of the world that I hold in my hand.”

I couldn’t help but smile now. Bray had always found a way to make his childish phrases sound so promising and dangerous.

I allowed myself to smile brighter as the music of Finn Balor played through the silver and blue lights. I could feel that he forewent summoning the dramatic smoke, though he brought something… someone else.

“Bray,” Finn growled. “Where is Y/N? If you ‘ave…”

“Y/N is no more.” My voice echoed through the space, summoning silence as they all waited for me to continue. My fingers played with the edges of my hood, then flicked to remove it. “There is only me.”

Turning, I beheld Finn Balor and Elias standing side by side. My vessel was indeed powerful if she could force these men to put aside their long feud. Bray had chosen well. I kept my eyes on Finn as he struggled to fight past Elias shouting for Y/N.

“Drifter,” I said. They stilled. Listening. “Elias. I have a proposition for you.” Bray appeared to my right. Right where he should be. “Bray has told me so much about you. I have watched from the ether and seen your skill in this squared circle. The skill with your guitar and your voice. It saddens me to hear you interrupted almost every week. To hear your skills ignored and passed over. To see how your talent in the ring is overshadowed by those with less.” I licked my lips. Elias had barely blinked since I began speaking. “What would you be willing to sacrifice to have people to walk with you? To have the respect you deserve as you cleanse city after city with your music? Come to the ring if you are willing to hear this proposition.” I stepped back, mirrored by Bray.

Elias stayed still for several seconds.

Impatience boiled inside my chest until I breathed it away. I had been lost in the ether for quite some time. A few seconds would be nothing to the years.

The Drifter took a step forward. Finn threw away the mic and grabbed at him, halting his choice.

“Back off, Balor,” I said. “I will have an offer for you as well soon enough. Until then, bite your tongue. Elias has made his choice.” I held out my hand, encouraging Elias to continue forward.

They shared one last look. Balor’s face contorted in rage before he spun on his heel and left the stage. Elias stood slightly turned to hear the leader of the Balor Club walk away. When he was satisfied Balor would not come back, he made his way down the ramp and stood before the ring. His eyes searched my face, looking for any remnant of Y/N. When he found none, he joined us in the ring, motioning for me to continue.

“Join us,” I said simply. “Be the first to join this new generation of the Wyatt Family. The Eater of Worlds, Myself, and the Drifter, who would be adrift alone no longer. Who could stand against us? Like the power triumvirates of old, we can disintegrate this world to ash. Think back to Sparta, Athens, Thebes. Pompey, Crassus, and Julius Caesar. The rule of three has always been on this earth. Would you be wise enough to become one of those great men?” I held out my hand, offering Elias to take it.

Elias looked at my hand. Looked up at her face, my face. He bit his lip and turned to leave.

“Elias.”

He stopped, shoulders rippling with the clarity of her voice.

“One week. Come and see the power you could have, if only for one week.” I could feel Bray bristling behind me. “One pin in return for one week. Fight Bray.” I turned so they could see each other. “Meet Bray in this ring. Win, I never bring up this offer to you again. Lose… and join my family for one week. If at the end of that time you do not feel like your talents are being appreciated you can forgo the offer. But,” I stepped closer to him, “respect like this will be hard to give up.”

“Sister…” Bray’s voice whispered to me. My eyes flicked to his, blazing with hellfire. His temples rippled as he ground his teeth. I slowly faced Elias once more.

“Do we have a bargain?”

He nodded.


From my rocking chair, I watched the match. Bray was conflicted. I had not discussed adding family members so soon with him. He wavered between letting Elias win and following my leadership. Twice he had caught Elias to give him my kiss. Twice he had let Elias twist his way out. I knew his pride would win out in the end. As much as he wanted to keep the power between us for a little longer, he would not let himself be bested tonight.

Not that it should be difficult. Elias was distracted. He kept looking past Bray to me. But not looking at me. Looking for her.

Strength. Speed. Tricks. Both men used everything in their arsenal. Bray tipped back from the ropes, freezing Elias’s steps. Elias hesitantly kicked Bray into the ropes as Bray surged forward. It wouldn’t be long now.

I dug my nails into the wood of the armrests as Elias captured Bray for the Drift Away. His eyes caught mine again. I held his gaze, giving Elias pause enough for Bray to wriggle his way free and finally take Elias down to the mat. I was standing in the ring even before the end of the three count, helping Elias to his feet with the finishing bell.

“Abigail,” he said with a nod, squeezing my small hand in his.

“Elias.”

As soon as I felt Bray’s hand on my shoulder, the lights flickered around us and I took Elias with us out of the ring.

With each passing day, Elias grew stronger. Faster. In sync when teaming with Bray while I watched from my chair.

After a week of house shows, the drifter had embraced becoming Elias Wyatt.
