All I Need Is You

”Going somewhere?”

 

“Aha,” She replied not bothering to look up from her packing.

 

“Going somewhere…” He said again glancing over the three already packed suitcases on the other side of the bed that he hadn’t seem from the doorway and added, “…far?”

 

“Yah – ha,”

 

She had her back to him still so she didn’t see his shoulders slump or the tiny pout of his bottom lip.

 

“Very far?” Was his next question.

 

“Far enough,” Willow replied finally answering him in a language other then Willow-speak.

 

“Don’t you like it here or something? Has Edge been bothering you again cos you know I meant it when I said I’d kick his lanky ass so bad he wouldn’t be grinning for a week!”

 

Willow opened her mouth to reply, but quickly shut it again as he continued.

 

“Or is it Stephanie? She’s a real piece of work that one. I bet she doesn’t like being the second prettiest girl in Evolution so she’s created some feeble excuse to get you away from me– I mean us.”

 

He shook his head as if contemplating the nerve of one Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

 

“That sound’s so like her.” He added.

 

Willow’s brows met in the middle.

 

“You think I’m pr-” She began, but again was cut off.

 

“It’s not me is it?” He asked more to himself then to her and then went on to answer his own question. “Nah, its not me – I’m perfect.”

 

He took that moment to flex his manly boob muscles and smiled at the picture of perfection he made in the dresser mirror.

 

“Nah, it’s not me.” He continued to mutter to himself.

 

Willow was surprised he’d actually shut up long enough to admire himself and she didn’t blame him one bit. On more then one occasion she herself had admired the fine specimen of man flesh that was Randy Orton. How could she not? He was a hunk and a half! But alas he was also her friend and a good friend at that. With an inward sigh she lifted her eyes to his to find him emptying the three bags she had just spent the last hour packing.

 

“What the hell are you doing?” She exclaimed.

 

“You’re not going.” He stated simply. “Whose gonna cook me funny shaped pancakes on the weekend or slap me upside the head when I don’t mind my P’s and Q’s. Whose gonna bring me hot coco when I can’t sleep and where the hell am I gonna find another person who can hack into Hunter’s laptop! I don’t wanna hear another word on the matter. You’re not leaving and that’s final!”

 

Willow stared wide eyed at the man before her and opened her mouth to speak, then shut it, then opened it again and then did something not very Willowy.

 

She left.

Randy paced from one side of the room to the other. It’d been two whole hours since Willow had stormed out. He’d seen the fire spark in her eyes, the determined set to her shoulders, had seen that pose on many occasions, but never, not once had it all been directed at him.

 

“God you’re an ass.” He said to himself and continued to pace.

 

He should have gone after her as soon as she’d stalked off, he’d wanted to more then he cared to admit, well to anyone other than himself that is – But he hadn’t and had asked himself ‘Why’ over and over again. And then kicked himself for the answer the tiny voice inside his head shot back at him.

 

‘Feelings’ his mind had told him, specifically the ones he had for the little red headed minx. She had grown from friend to something more in no time at all, at least in his mind, but he knew she still looked on him as a friend and even though he could handle her rejection he didn’t think he could handle her pity. So he had let her go, opted to stay right where he was – In her hotel room. And all her worldly possessions being still in that room as well was another plus because he knew she couldn’t leave without her stuff. Especially the purple pig named ‘Gordo’ that now sat atop her pillow, a keepsake she had told him when he’d first spied it. He moved to the bed and gingerly lay down on it allowing the scent of Willow to surround him.

 

“Yep,” He’d told himself as he hugged ‘Gordo’ to his chest. “She’d come back.”

 

And she did… 6 hours later.

He must have fallen asleep because one minute it was bright as anything outside and then the next thing he knew the moon and the flickering of the TV were the only source of lighting in the room and Willow was curled up in front of the telly watching re-runs of Scooby Doo.

 

“Hey,” She said when he shifted into a sitting position and stretched his neck muscles.

 

“Hey,” He replied groaning as his body protested to the movements he was making. “What time is it?”

 

“Eight-ish.” She answered with a shrug and then reached forward to turn the TV off. “We need to talk.”

 

He sat up straighter then and couldn’t believe he was actually sitting on his hands to keep them from fidgeting.

 

“I know.” He began scooting forward a little on the bed. “And please let me start…”

 

At her nod he continued.

 

“First I want to say I’m sorry. I acted badly and I mean ‘Really’ badly,” He repeated putting emphasis on his words. “Just when I saw the bags… and you… and leaving… I lost it. I honestly don’t know what I would do if you left. I can’t imagine my life here without you in it, please Willow, you can’t leave the WWE. You can’t leave me. I love you.”

 

Again Willow’s mouth was moving, but no words were coming out and then she flew forward into his arms surprising him so much that he didn’t allow for her swiftness which resulted in them both butting heads.

 

“You silly man!” She cried her fingers finding there way to his sides where she tickled him mercilessly for being such a blockhead. “You silly, silly man!”

 

“Hey!”

 

He squirmed.

 

“Stop!”

 

He squealed.

 

“Time out!”

 

He practically wailed, but she didn’t let up with her tickling until with one foul swoop he hooked his arm under her and hefted her small frame up and over him. He turned to see her legs in the air and when she came up she came up glaring but the sight of him trying to get his breath back after her tickling spree brought her amusement back twofold and she picked up a pillow, aimed and then tossed it at his head.

 

“I don’t believe this, I’m laying my heart out here and all you can do is laugh, tickle and throw things.”

 

She laughed again, just because she could before crawling down to the end of the bed where he sat.

 

“Whatever processed you to think I was leaving the WWE?”

 

His brow quirked at her words and he looked at her as if she were insane.

 

“Ah… hello? You, packing, bags-“ His argument came to a halt when his gaze fell to the bed which should have been covered with the contents of those three suitcases he had emptied earlier’ but weren’t. “You’re not leaving?” He asked confused.

 

She laughed again.

 

“Oh no, I’m leaving alright.”

 

“I… you… struth woman!” He cried in frustration springing up from the bed to pace the floor. “What do you want from me, blood?”

 

Willow stood too and slowly shook her head as she walked towards him.

 

“Nah, been there done that.”

 

And then she was kissing him. Him! Willow was kissing HIM! And he would have been a fool not to kiss her back, but apparently all his senses hadn’t returned yet because he indeed pulled back to say.

 

“Truth Willow… please, you’re killing me here.”

 

She gazed up at him and smiled.

 

“I am leaving,” She confessed in all honesty and again his shoulders slumped. “The nozzle on the shower head is stuffed so I’m moving across the hall.”

 

She couldn’t help the grin that spread across her face at the mix of emotions that played upon his face. First shock, then confusion, then realisation and glee and then finally fury and it was that emotion he turned on her now.

 

“Why you…” He began making a grab for her, but she ducked under his arm and sprinted towards the door.

 

“By the way,” She said pausing upon opening it only long enough to turn back and send him a wink. “I love you too.” And then she disappeared from his line of sight.

 

“She loves me…” He whispered an ear to ear grin spreading across his face. “Willow Rosenberg loves me!”

 

Yay you!”

 

His head snapped up as she appeared again looking demure and very, very wanton like.

 

“Well gee… it seems I’m having a little problem with my shower across the hall as well…”

 

His eyes never left hers as he grabbed the end of his tee shirt and pulled it up over his head.

 

“Anything I could help you with?” He said starting to stalk towards her.

 

She smiled and licked her lips at the sight of his bare chest.

 

“Why don’t you come across and see…”

 

And he did just that.
