You had became the fourth member of The Shield a year ago and of course that meant you had to share an RV with your teammates, which was more than awkward at first, but you quickly adjusted to the situation and before long you fitted right in. Individually they were very different men. Dean was a tease and a joker, Roman was quiet, kind and very protective and Seth was athletic, a little bit of a geek but a sweetheart. You and Seth had the closest bond, thanks to a shared passion for video games and closeness in age. You had a connection that you just couldn't explain and several of your co-workers thought you were more than friends but you weren't. You and Seth had never been intimate but you held hands and cuddled a lot. Both of you knew what you had was platonic and you were both happy with that, but it seemed like every time you and Seth were enjoying each others company, Dean would be close by ready to poke fun at you with a quick remark or two
"There at it again Ro" Dean said referring to you and Seth, who were giggling at something on his phone
You looked up at Dean and Roman who were both looking at you "What?"
"Oh, nothing just admiring the happy couple" Dean replied with a smirk
You looked at Seth with a frown
"Ignore them'' Seth uttered
WWE higher ups had quickly picked up on you and Seth's close bond too and wanted to involve you in a romance storyline but you were more than a little reluctant. You didn't want to mess up what you had, but Seth seemed excited by the idea, so you went along with it
''What's up babe?''
The whole idea of being in a romance storyline with Seth was getting to you more than you admitted and of course Seth noticed when you became more withdrawn
"I'm worried about this storyline" you admitted
"Why? it's no big deal, we'll do great!" Seth said confidently
"It's not going to change the way we are with each other is it?" You asked
Seth looked confused
"She wants to know if you'll be able to keep your cock in your pants, once you've had a taste'' Dean said seemingly appearing from nowhere
"You're a fucking dick Dean!" you said rushing off in embarrassment
"Seriously bro?" Seth said looking at Dean
"What?" Dean replied
You were sitting on one of the beds in the sleeping area, wishing the ground would just swallow you up. You knew Dean was a wind up merchant but what he said had really got to you because he was right. You did worry about you and Seth's relationship changing because of the romance storyline
Seth opened the door slightly and poked his head into the room "Can i come in?"
You nodded and he made his way over to you, sitting on the bed beside you
''Don't listen to Dean. You know how he can be sometimes''
"But he's right" you said
Seth noticed you were crying and wiped away your tears
"Look i'm not gonna lie to you, i'm a little nervous'' he admitted ''I'm not sure how i will react to having to be more affectionate with you. We've never had that...we've never been that way with each other and it could ruin everything, but at the same time. It's a great opportunity for us''
"You're right'' you said smiling weakly at him
"Cuddle?" He laid down beside you and you rested your head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around you

[The following week, Monday Night Raw]
Today was the day, the first day of you and Seth's storyline and you were both called in for a meeting about what you had to do that night. By the time you'd both left you were more anxious than you were before. You and Seth had found out that you had to kiss backstage following The Shield's match and it seemed so quick
"Wow they've really thrown us into the deep end haven't they!" Seth said as you both made your way back to the RV
"Yeah they have'' you agreed ''I didn't think we'd have to kiss until at least a couple of weeks into the storyline''
''Look, I know you probably don't want to think about it but, how do you want me to kiss you?" Seth asked suddenly
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you know...do you want me to use my tongue or..."
"Whatever you want to do will be fine" you said cutting him off
You rushed past him and cursed yourself for getting so flustered. You had kissed guys before, had boyfriends but the thought of kissing Seth was throwing you through a loop. You made it back to the RV and rushed straight into the bedroom, not even bothering to acknowledge Dean or Roman on your way past. Seth made it back a few moments later, immediately looking around for you
"She's in there'' Roman said, pointing to the bedroom door
"Trouble in paradise already?" Dean asked in a sarcastic tone
"Seriously Dean do not start with me, brother or not if you say one more thing to either me or (Y/N) I will fucking knock you out'' Seth raged
Dean smirked, causing Seth to get even more angry at his apparent lack of sympathy. He took a step forward and got right into Dean's face causing Roman to step in between them
"Come on guys we're supposed to be a team'' Roman said, attempting to talk some sense into his teammates "Take this anger out on our opponents tonight, yeah?"
[An hour later]
Seth was changed and sitting on the couch looking at his phone, Dean was pacing nearby and Roman was stood by the door waiting to leave for the match.
''You better go and get her bro'' Roman said looking at Seth
Seth nodded, getting up "You ready sweetheart?" Seth shouted through the door of the bedroom with a little knock
You stood up from the bed with all the energy you could master, you didn't have to wrestle tonight but you did have to kiss your best friend and you were not looking forward to one bit. Putting on a brave face you pulled yourself together and opened the door
"Let's do this'' you said
"That's my girl'' Seth said giving you a nudge with his shoulder
[The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family]
The match went well and Seth had took Roman's words literally and had taken all his anger out on Erick Rowan, who was unfortunate enough to be tagged in with him. He was on fire and was pulling off moves he had never even shown people before. Dean even looked a little impressed when Seth made eye contact with him after landing a particularly impressive move
1...2...3
'Here are your winners THE SHIELD!!.'
You made your way into the ring and walked over to Seth, wrapping your arms around his neck. You had to start acting like a couple from now on and he smiled down at you, kissing the top of your head
[After the match]
You and the boys were walking towards your locker room and Dean and Roman broke off from you and Seth so that you could be alone for 'this kiss'
"We'll catch you guys up in a bit'' Seth said grabbing hold of your hand and leading you into a locker room
''You did great out there tonight'' you said in a flirty manner as the camera's followed you, capturing every moment
"You think?" Seth replied looking at you
"Yeah you were on fire out there!" you responded
Seth let out a deep sigh and pulled you towards him, wrapping his arms around your waist. Without warning he pressed his lips against yours taking you by surprise. He swept his tongue across your bottom lip asking for entrance, which you granted and soon your tongues were dancing around each others mouths. You found your hands making there way up underneath his t-shirt, caressing his back and he responded by stroking the back of your neck and running his fingers through your hair. Suddenly a faint bang came from nowhere. You and Seth had been kissing for too long and it was the camera mans way of telling you both to stop. You broke off the kiss and Seth smiled down at you, his thumb stroking the side of your face
"See that wasn't so bad was it?" he said once you were both alone
"No it wasn't" you replied smiling back at him
You had to admit to yourself that you enjoyed every second of the kiss and what you had imagined to be an awkward and forced kiss between two friends, had turned out to be one of the best kisses you had ever had. In that moment, right there and then you knew that your relationship with Seth would indeed never be the same; but not necessary in a bad way
