AJ Styles was anxiously clenching his fist, unable to stop bouncing on his feet. He was along in the locker room watching as The King of Strong Style made his Smackdown Live debut. The man was a walking ball of charisma in an outside of the ring.
He was so close now and without thinking AJ felt his body moving towards the ramp, after so much time apart his heart wouldn’t let him wait anymore. Shinsuke reaction from the crowd was loud but that was to be expected of him. When he rounded the corner and spotted him, Nakamura was wrapping up with the big heads and accepting congratulations. AJ paused.
Openly admiring the man.
“キング.”
Shinsuke turned, a smiled lighting up his face. AJ loved that smile. Before this moment he didn’t know how he would react. But now he simply held up the Too Sweet gesture and the King did not disappoint.
Shinsuke stared down at him with those smiling blue eyes, and the words came before he could stop them.
“I missed you.”
“I missed you to, spider monkey.” With a small step Shinsuke pulled him close and, he let himself be hugged, safe from prying eyes.
“I’m in room 220. Come see me later okay.”
AJ blinked in surprise, but quickly nodded. Still love him.
