(A/N:OK Please read, enjoy, review. Even the smallest of reviews warms my day & pushes me to write more. I don't own ANY WWE/TNA personal or likenesses, nor any of their family members. This is purely for fun & not based on real events. To everyone who is Reviewing or placing me on their alerts thanks you. I read every review & try to reply with at least a thank you. If I do not, don't think I am not loving reading them because I am.

A/N2: OK this is Slash. If you don't know it is MxM pairing. Don't don't like it or it not your thing feel free to go pick another story. Please REVIEW)

New Years eve John was sitting with Taker on the front porch of the main house just watching the stars.
"What's on your mind Love?" Taker asked in his gruff tone.
"Just wondering how long the current situation will last before something finally gives way."
"Like what?"
"The whole thing with Randy, Edge & Christian. Edge seems blinded to the look his brother gives Randy…those two are a bad combo."

Taker wraps an arm around John pulling him closer. "Time will be the only factor Love…for now most of the time Christian is away. If the times comes for him to return we shall see then." John just slowly nods he didn't want to think of Randy being hurt. If Edge is made to choice John already knew which Edge would pick…how can anyone turn on blood?

Taker leaned his head resting it against John's own. "Try not to stress yourself Love…even if you know the outcome in time…does not mean you can change it."
"I know Marcus…I just worry about Randy." He reaches up holding the larger man's hand resting over his shoulder. "I am the reason he got brought into the family."
"No that was Edge."
"But I am the one that opened the door for those two…I am the reason Randy started to open that side of him. If I had ne.." Taker reached up with his other hand placing a finger to John's lips.

"It doesn't matter what could have been if different choices were made Love. What is already is…we can only look to the future & help if needed." He unwrapped his arm from John's shoulders still holding his hand. Taker stood up lightly pulling the younger man up with him & into his arms. "Remember Love even if we don't fully understand, things happen for a reason."

Taker slowly strokes John's cheek causing the younger man to lean into the touch. With life on the road the two rarely had time to just relax & here he was ruining it with worry over his friend. "Remember Love…we tried to change Randy's path so he wouldn't know what was done…something in his head made him hold onto the events even if fragments of it."

Taker leaned in slowly barely brushing his lips to John's. He then pulled back studying John's slightly relaxed face still resting on his large hand. "Remember Love in an odd way you were the same. I tried to erase the first assaults on you…yet somehow you remembered pieces. Maybe not fully right away…but things still broke through. It was how the fates saw it…we shall deal with the bumps to come as they come."

John nodded slowly before Taker leaned down again to kiss John. The kisses lingered between them till it grew more heated Taker wrapping his arms around John holding him close. Only a moment later a cool almost cold breeze blew around them briefly in the unusually warm December night.

Taker slowly broke the kiss not wanting to give up the taste of his Love. "Shall we head in & welcome the New Year in our bed?"
John opened his eyes a slow nod. Taker took his hand kissing the back of it before leading the two of them up to their master bedroom.

(OK, Sorry for the delayed update & a shorty at that. My Muses have been hiding on me so this is what I finally dragged from them. Ending this here to begin working on sequel. Title Heartbreaker and Heartbroken. I pray they behave better for me there.)
