Wrestling One-Shots Volume 5

JD McDonagh

It's the middle of the next WWE draft and backstage is buzzing with gossip at every name being called. You're sitting backstage with Finn and the rest of judgment day listening to the announcements. Having already been drafted to RAW in the first round, you've really got no interest in the rest of RAW's picks for the night. That is until a certain name from NXT gets called.

JD Mcdonagh.

You perk up at the mention of Jordan's name, and Finn immediately turns his head toward you. "Don't even think about it." He warns you with a stern look.

"Think about what?" You flash your brother an innocent smile. "I'm just surprised to hear Jordan's name is all. Nothing more."

"Mhm." Finn raises a skeptical eyebrow at you but drops the subject for a moment.

You've known Jordan ever since Finn took Devlin under his wing. Being only a couple of years younger than Jordan, the two of you clicked right away. But Finn shut the romance down the moment there was even a hint of attraction. He always made sure that Jordan was never around when you were and vice versa.

You've managed to keep up with Jordan's career in NXT UK and NXT over the years. Even if you haven't had any chances to talk to him, or even see him for that matter. And your crush on the Irish Ace has never faltered over that time.

"JD Mcdonagh?" Dominick speaks up from Rhea's side. "Who's that?" He turns to you curiously. "Do you know him or something, Y/N?"

"Jordan used to be Finn's protege." You explain with a shrug. "That was years ago though. Neither Finn nor I have seen him in years."

Finn cuts into the conversation with a grunt. "Yeah, and the kid is even more bad news than he was when I was training him." He insists. "I mean it, Y/N. Keep your distance." He reminds you.

"Yeah yeah." You grumble to yourself, crossing your arm across your chest to pout.

The next Monday you are back in the arena for RAW. Finn is running late with Damian tonight and Dominick is busy with Rhea, so you're alone backstage until your brother arrives. Being in Judgement Day, few people dare mess with you while you're hanging backstage. So you hang around and mingle with some of the crew for a bit. That is until someone calls your name while you're chatting with one of the ladies from the hair and makeup team.

"My god, Y/N? That can't be you, can it, love?" An unknown male voice calls your name.

You turn around, hiding an eager smile as you do. You hope and pray that sweet Irish accent belongs to the person that you think it is. And sure enough, you turn just in time to find Jordon walking towards you. "Jordan?" You greet him with a friendly smile. "No. That can't be the same scrawny bloke that my brother used to tutor." You joke.

"Ah, so it is you." Jordan chuckles. "Yeah, I'd recognize that stunning smile anywhere." He teases you. "And you somehow managed to get even prettier since the last time I saw you."

"And you finally learned how to flirt." You giggle.

Jordan snorts and shakes his head. "Awe I always knew how to flirt, Y/N." He insists.

"Really now?" You raise a brow at him. "Because that's not what I remember."

You and Jordan fall into casual conversation like two old friends. You find him easy as hell to talk to, even after all this time. You are catching up on what each of you has been up to when Finn finally gets to the show with Damian.

"Oi! Y/N!" Finn shouts your name from down the hall when he spots you.

"Oh no." You frown when you hear Finn. "I told you that he'd be pissed off." You sigh at Jordan.

Jordan glances behind you at Finn and nods. "Yeah, he looks like he's fuming." He chuckles. "Don't worry though, I got this." He assures you with a grin.

"Jordan." You go to protest, but Devlin shakes his head.

Finn marches down the hall and right up to you with a stern look on his face. "Does anything that I saw get through that thick skull of yours?" He confronts you, ignoring Jordan for the moment.

"Finn! Wonderful to see you again, mate." Jordan attempts to get Finn's attention off of you.

Finn glares at you before he turns to Jordan. "I knew that you'd be trouble." He stares at Devlin. "There are plenty of others on this show that I am sure are more suitable to take up your time than my sister. So go chat up one of them."

"Yeah, but none of them even come close to your sister." Jordan shrugs. "Sorry, Finn. All the respect to you, man. But you ain't gonna bully me into keeping off Y/N's radar this time."

"Awe, Jordan." You giggle.

Damian laughs next to Finn which just angers your brother more. He turns back to you ready to drag off you off himself and lock you away forever. But Jordan beats him to the punch. "Y/N, love. I don't suppose that you'd wanna show me around, would ya, darling?" He asks you.

"It'd be my pleasure." You nod with a small giggle and shoulder past Finn to Jordan's side. "I'll meet back up with you guys later, Finn." You inform your brother before you walk off.

"Y/N!" Finn calls after you as you walk off. "Y/N! Get back here!" He shouts.

Damian finally ceases his laughter and pats Finn on the shoulder. "I think that she's gone, man." He teases Balor.
