Matt looked away from JR who was droning on and on about potential storylines and let his mind wander off giving it the freedom to come to rest wherever it may. When nothing came up though leaving his potential daydream a black slate he sighed and turned his eyes to Sean. Seeing the blush on his friend's face he turned his head to see Paul staring intently at JR, but there was a suspicious little grin on his face. Snickering Matt leaned towards Paul, who was sitting next to him, and whispered, "one of these days you two are gonna get caught doing that shit under the table." Paul's only response was a wink.

When JR finally let them go, Matt lingered waiting for Sean and Paul. Tired of listening to his lover talk shop with Jim, Sean walked over to Matt, who was leaning against the wall staring off into space. "Hey hootchie," Sean greeted smiling.

With difficulty Matt pulled his attention back to reality from the nothingness that it's been wandering through. "Hey whore."

"What're you doin today?" Sean asked glancing back at Paul's ass and sighing.

"Not sitting around and watching you and gargoyle boy fuck all day," Matt shot back as Sean grinned at him unappolagizingly. "Actually I have to be at the airport to pick up Shanny later. Jeff is off with Raven and PJ probably getting his brains sucked and fucked out as we speak and decided he was too busy to pick up his best friend from the airport so I'm doing it. Have I thanked you yet for conning Paul into bringing him up? Maybe now Jeff will quit whining at me."

"About a million times li'l me," Paul growled walking up to them and putting his arm around Sean. "But feel free to get on your knees and thank me properly at any time."

"Not even in your wildest dreams gargoyle," Matt sneered playfully and Paul growled back just as playfully. He liked this kid a lot. His passion and dedication for the business reminded him of himself and often he would call him Little Me in reference to that. Lately though Matt had been even quieter than usual brooding silently and Paul watched as once again the distant expression spread across Matt's face. "Matthew you need to find yourself a man. That fuckhead Adam doesn't deserve all this brooding that you're doing."

Matt blinked and refocused on Paul and Sean. "I know. It's not so much missing Adam anymore as it is just missing… being with someone, bring in love with someone, wanting to love someone. No one even interests me these days.

"What about Shannon?" Sean asked but Matt looked at him confused. "What about him? He's like a brother to me."

"Yeah, but you're a Hardy Boy so we know that brother thing doesn't mean much," Sean snickered. "Besides have you seen Shannon lately? OOOOOOOOOOOH Mamma!!"

Shaking his head at his friend's antics Matt frowned. "He looks like a girl. If I wanted a woman then I'd fuck Amy."

"You REALLY haven't seen him lately have you?" Sean laughed thinking of the luscious body he'd gotten a taste for when he was in HWA getting ready to come back. "Look promise me that you'll keep an open mind when you see him today."

Grunting he shrugged his shoulders. "OK, if you insist. I guess I can, but I've known him his whole adult life and I can't imagine seeing anything new."

"We'll see," Sean said smiling. "Just keep an open mind ok?"
