Author's Note: Part of the 'Bumper Sticker Series'.  This is going to be
a series of short stories, each based on the saying on a bumper
sticker.  What can I say?  Too much pop, too much cold medicine. :)
Author's Note 2: The sayings used in this one, 'And your crybaby, whiny
ass opinion would be?' and 'Practice safe sex, go screw yourself.'
 

Michael Cole hurried backstage to finish the last of his work so he
could get out of there before he had to talk to Tazz again.  Ever since
he'd turned Tazz down, the man had made it his life's goal to make his
life hell.  And Michael had to admit he was doing a good job of it.
Michael knew he could tell his boyfriend and let him handle Tazz, but he
wanted to at least try to handle it on his own.

"Going someplace, Michael Cole?"

"The show's done, I'm going back to the hotel."

"Not so quick there, little fella. I've decided to change our segment
for tomorrow night."

"I don't think......"

Tazz moved forward, pushing Michael back against the wall.  "And your
crybaby, whiny ass opinion would be?  Do you really think I care what
*you* think?"

"Back off, Tazz."

Both men turned at the sound of the new arrival.  "Oh, crybaby went
running to his little boyfriend.  How sickenly sweet!  I think I'm going
to barf!"

Raven moved forward slowly, putting himself between Michael and Tazz.
"Running to me about what?"

Tazz didn't say anything, just smirked as he realized that Michael
hadn't said anything to Raven.  Raven looked between Tazz and Michael.
"Mike?   Something I should know?"

"I was trying to handle it on my own."

"Handle what?"

"Keep your mouth shut, Cole." Tazz threatened.

Raven swung around, knocking Tazz to the floor, pinning him on his
stomach.  Then he looked back at his lover.  "You were saying?"

"He's been harassing me the last couple weeks."

"Why?"

Michael looked away.  "Because I turned him down."

"He's a liar!  What the hell would I want with him?"

Raven wrenched Tazz' arm behind his back.  He leaned down to whisper in
Tazz' ear.  "You come near Michael again, and I'll kill you."

"I'm not afraid of you.  If I really wanted him, there's not a damn
thing you could do about it!"

Raven slammed Tazz against the floor, then got to his feet.  "Don't try
me.  You that hard up for sex, Tazz?  Maybe you should practice safe
sex........go screw yourself!"

Raven wrapped an arm around Michael and led him away from Tazz, who was
trying to sit up, cursing as the world spun.
