Request: Sami Callihan/Jake Crist with Dave playing matchmaker?

Pairing - Sami Callihan/Jake Crist

Warning: Fluff

Jake and Dave were sitting backstage, waiting for their match at the Impact taping to come while Sami was on the phone with a company, talking about a possible booking. Dave was tying up his boots when he looked up and noticed his little, blonde haired brother was staring at Sami as he moved around the locker room.

“Hey, I’m goin’ to take this out, ‘right? If management asks where I am, tell ‘em I’m outside makin’ a company more fuckin’ money.”, Sami said before exiting the locker room as Jake sighed. Dave would chuckle before going back to tying his boots up the rest of the way.

After the match, Sami went to catering while Dave and Jake went back to the locker room. “You know, I saw the way you looked at Sami when he was on the phone and tonight during our match against LAX.”, Dave said with a hint of teasing while Jake only rolled his eyes, changing out of his ring attire into a pair of jeans, a Prince t-shirt and a pair of purple and black Jordans.

“Hey, maybe you and him should go on a date sometime.”, Dave said which caused Jake to stop tying his shoe, glaring at his older brother. “Shut the hell up, Dave. I ain’t into him like that!”, Jake said calmly before going back to tying his shoes which caused Dave to laugh. “Rightttt, keep saying that lover boy.”, Dave said which caused Jake to lung at him only for a pair of tattooed arms to wrap around his waist.

“Hey, hey, hey! Quit! Jake, quit strugglin’. Hey! QUIT THAT!”, Sami yelled as Jake struggled to get out of his arms, but he would suddenly stop once Sami held him tighter which caused Dave to snicker. Jake thought about lunging at him again, but with Sami’s arms around him? That would be nearly impossible, besides, he loved being in Sami’s arms. He felt safe and secure when he was in his arms.

Soon, Sami would let go of the blonde. Before Jake could say anything, Dezmond came into the locker room, asking if he could speak to him. Jake would nod, walking out of the locker room. Sami watched closely as Jake walked away, Dave would smirk. This matchmaking shit should just be his second job. 

Sami would sit down on a folding chair before Dave started to change into a pair of jeans and a BlackCraft Cult shirt. “You know, Sam. I’ve seen the way you look at Jake. Maybe you two outta go out.”, Dave said, chuckling as he tied his shoes. Sami would look at the older male, his face neither annoyed nor happy.

Sami was about to speak before Jake walked back into the locker room which caused Dave to stand up straight. “Alright, look. We’re all men here, so why play stupid games? I’ve seen the way you both stare at each other. You two have been all cute with each other since we first met. So, how about y’all just go on a fucking date and stop hiding your feelings?”, Dave asked.

Jake was about to yell, but Sami would cut in. “Ya know what? You’re right. I have been all “cute” with Jake for a long time now, I’ve just been too afraid to ask him on a date, fearing that he would confuse my wrestling persona with my actual real life self. What do ya say, Jay?”, Sami asked.

Jake would stay silent, Dave would take the hint and he patted his little brother on the shoulder before walking out of the room. Sami and Jake would lock eyes before Sami started to speak. “We-” “I don’t know, Samuel.. I just don’t know.”, Jake said interrupting the younger man. “Why don’t you know, Jay? Look, I know. My temper can get the best of me sometimes. I know I kiss people at random times. I know companies hate me, but I can assure you. If you agree to this, I will give you the whole damn world with the palm of my hands.”, Sami said. Before he could speak up again, Jake would cut him off with a gentle kiss to his lips. As soon as Jake pulled away, he looked into Sami’s eyes.

“I don’t want the whole world,
The sun, the moon and all their light.
I just wanna be the only man,
You love all your life.”

After Jake finished speaking, Sami took his cheeks softly in his hands, bringing his face close to his before placing his lips on his. As soon as Jake wrapped his arms around Sami’s neck, Dave would open the door a little, peaking inside before patting himself on the back. “Good job, Dave. You should do this more often.”, he told himself as the duo in the locker room slowly pulled away from their kiss.

“Shit on a shingle and horror movies at my place, then a slow dance to a Prince song in the kitchen?” Sami asked.

“You know the way to my heart.” Jake said before the two left the arena, hand in hand.
