He woke up quickly and shook his head trying to clear the dream from his head. He didn't know why he bothered. As soon as he closed his eyes again it would be there to greet him, mock him, and taunt him showing what he had lost. He didn't need the dream's reminder though. He remembered with every moment he lived alone. He took a deep breath and threw the sheets back and made his way to the bathroom turning on the shower and stepping under the spray.

He tried to turn his thoughts away from his demon lover, but found it impossible. It might be easier to move on if their relationship had ended by some decision of theirs, but the fact was that it was the powers that be that decided their relationship was fated to be a disaster and separated them. He was left alone on Smackdown and his demon was sent to Raw to play Triple H's all brawn and no brain enforcer. His gentle demon had become a brute and he had been left to become everyone's favorite master of Thuganomics.

Jon let his head fall forward feeling the spray of the water fall onto his neck and back and closed his eyes. He heard the bathroom door open but didn't acknowledge the other man's presence. "John you ok man? Did you have that dream again?" John nodded quietly and Charlie sighed looking at his friend concerned. "Is there anything I can do?" John again shook his head without speaking and Charlie nodded then left making his way back to his own bed.

Charlie didn't know how long he'd laid there waiting for John to come out of the shower. Some nights he was only in there for a few moments and some for hours… tonight seemed to be one of the long nights. Once he'd heard John settle down and his breathing even out Charlie rolled over and opened his eyes to look at his friend. He knew about John's former relationship with Dave Batista and he knew how hard his friend had taken their breakup. It was Charlie's opinion that the breakup was more of Dave's doing that John wanted to believe. From what Charlie had been told by Benjamin, Dave and Randy Orton were quite hot and heavy and the word over there was that they had been since they both arrived on the roster. That pissed Charlie off.

Charlie had been in love with John for longer than he wanted to admit. When his brother had died John had been like a God send. Charlie wasn't sure that he would have made it through without him. IT was all Charlie could do not to shake John tell him that he deserved better than some muscle bound meat head that hadn't even waited for his dick to soften before he moved on.

As John began to snore softly Charlie sighed and set in for another long night. Maybe someday John would see that there was someone else who loved him. Charlie grunted, "Right after the cow really jumps over the moon."

The End
