. : : Trouble in Paradise : : .

Matt played with the golden hair of his lover.

The new year had just begun and Chris was still asleep.

Today was Mattīs big day.

He wanted to tell his father that he is in love with Chris and that the two were going to get married.

"Mmmm morning Matty." Chris yawned.

"Morning Little One." Matt smiled and kissed his Chrissyīs nose.

"Agrrr!!! Are you ever going to stop calling me that?"

"Why should I ?" Matt smiled again and rested his forehead on Chrisīs.

" I love you Matty."

" I love you more." The two curled up in each others arms.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Matt said.

"Hey lovebirds!!!" Matt brother Jeff screamed.

"Time to get up boys. We have to drive Lita home and then Matty has to start his new year."

Matt knew exactly what Jeff meant by that.

"I hope Dad understand."

"Hey baby. Heīs your dad, he love you no matter what." Chris gave Matt a kiss on the forehead.

"I hope so." Matt dosenīt sound convinced.

"Oh come on babe. And you," Chris turned to Jeff, "go talk with Lita while we get up."

"Kay!" Jeff closed the door.

Matt looked as if deep in thought.

"Hey love." Chris took Mattīs face in his hands.

"Could you smile for me?" He asked and got that little sly fox look again.

That was something Matt couldnīt resist and he smiled.

"Thatīs right, Believe me everything will work out." Chris kissed Matt again, then got up.

**************

" Bye my angel." Jeff kissed Lita goodbye, then got back to the car.

The trip to Mattīs and Jeffīs dad was rather quiet. Matt was nervous.

He didnīt no how his father would react when he told him that he is gay let alone that he is engaged.

Chris and Jeff seemed to sense that so they let him think.

"Here we are. Let the show begin!" Jeff said to cheer his brother up.

At that moment he did not know how right his words were.

********************

Matt and Chris were in the kitchen now and prepared dinner.

As for now Chris was just a friend of the boys. Matt wanted to tell his father about Chris over dinner.

"Remember Iīm here with you." Chris kissed Matt. They two melted in each others arms.

"Get your hands of off my son!" Mattīs dad screamed as he shoved Chris of off his son.

"Hey dad." Matt looked at his father, this was not how he wanted to tell his dad.

"Dad. Chris and I ... Chris is my fiancée, dad." Now it was out.

"He is your what???" Mattīs dad almost screamed.

"Chris is my fiancée. I love him and weīre going to get married this summer." Mattīs little smile fadened.

"Matthew youīre gay?" Matt doesnīt like the look on his fatherīs face.

"Yes."

"You love this man?" He pointed to Chris.

"Yes. I love Chris." Matt grew nervous. Chris stood by his side, holding his hand.

"Leave my house." Mattīs dad said in a deadly calm voice.

"But dad..." Now it was Matt who screamed. Tears formed in his eyes.

"Youīre not my son anymore, now leave my house."

Matt run away as fast as he could, without waiting for Chris. Away he thought, just far away.

Chris just stared at Mattīs dad. He could imagen how Matt felt right now. He still remambered the day he told his perants that he is gay, the fear they might not love him anymore. Fortunately they had understood him and they still support him and love him.

Why was Mattīs dad so different, Matt is his son, his own flesh and blood after all.

"What have you done to Matt?" While screaming, Mattīs father slapped Chris hard across the face.

The punsh caught Chris off guard. He stumbled against the wall, then hit it and slid down.

With pure hate in his eyes he looked up to the old man.

"You heartless bastard. How could such a wonderful person like Matt come from such a man like yourself?"

Chris got up and left the house, searching for his fiancée.

Jeff stood in the door and shock his head sadly. He has heard everything. "Why dad why has you hurt Matt this bad? He loves Chris and he is happy with him. Why do you have to destroy his happyness?" Jeff asked his father. He was angry but more important he was really sad.

"Jeffrey."

"No dad I donīt want to hear it." Jeff left the kitchen and packed up his things. He couldnīt stay in this house. Why couldnīt their father understand how happy Matt felt with Chris at his side? Why couldnīt he love him?

***********

Following the footstepps in the snow Chris found his Matty curled up against a tree. Matt held his head in his hands and was shaking like a leaf. Chris could clearly hear his sobs and they broke his heart. He couldnīt stand seeing his baby so upset. Chris run to Matt and put his arms tight around him.

"Chris"

"Shh Matty Shhhh Iīm here now shhh." Chris tryed to calm his love down without much success.

"Why Chris why?" Matt asked between heartbreaking sobs.

"Shh I donīt know baby." Chris felt so sorry for Matt.

Matt raised his head to Chris, he looked a bit calmer now but was still crying. He eyes widened as he saw the angry red mark on Chris face.

"Oh God whatīs that?" Matt carefully slid his finger along the outline of the red mark on his loveīs face.

"Thatīs nothing." Chris said calm and pulled Matt into a standing position.

"Chris, he has hurt you, he has put his hands on you." Matt screamed "Iīm gonna ..." He couldnīt finish his sentence as he broke down crying.

"Matty! Oh God." Chris kneeled down next to him. Then he took him in his arms and carried him back to the car.

"Shh Matt Shh Iīm here." Chris tryed to calm him but again with no success.

***********
Jeff was in the car as Chris arrived with Matt in his arms.

"Oh shit! Whatīs wrong with him?" Jeff looked at his brother, who was crying and clung at Chris for dear life.

"Just a little break down, I think." Chris said concerned. He gently lowered Matt in the back of his car and settled down next to him.

"Where to go?" Chris sighed and smoothed Mattīs hair back as his love pressed into his chest as hard as Matt could in his weak state.

"To Granny!" Jeff smiled as he looked up to Chris in the rearview mirror.

"But I donīt think Matty can calm down enough." Chris rubbed his hands over Mattīs back and helt him even tighter in his arms.

"I donīt need to." Matt whispered against Chrisīs chest, to low to really hear him.

"What my love?"

"He said He donīt need to calm down." Jeff ginned.

"Huh?" Chris didnīt understand.

"He didnīt need to clam down, Granny knows."

"What?" Chris sreamed and instantly regreteed it as Matt jumped then pressed closer to him.

"God Chris, man whatīs wrong with you?" Jeff started the car and drove off. "Our Granny knows about you and Matt all long. She loves us, she is the person we go to when the whole world turns against us."

"I see."

*************
The drive to Mattīs Grandma was a quite one the only sound in the car was Mattīs crying. Chris was right Matt couldnīt calm down.

"Weīre here, Matty." Jeff stopped the car and got out.

Chris helped Matt, who had cryed himself to exhaustion, walk up to the house. Once there Jeff rung the bell.

After a short time the door opened and out stepped an old lady. She looked very friendly and her smiled go wide as she saw Jeff.

However as she saw her other grandson her face grew serious.

"So you told your dad then, Matthew?"

Matt just nodded weakly and broke into a fresh set of tears.

"Oh Matty come here boy."

Matt pulled away from Chris and went up to his Grannyīs embrace.

After she rubbed his back a moment she handed Matt over to his brother and approached Chris, who smiled shyly.

"And you must be Chris, I heard so mush of. The cause my Matty was so happy lately." She smiled at Chris.

"Yes ma’am Iīm Chris." He was a little unsure what to do.

"Call my Granny just like everyone. Ok?" She smiled and pulled Chris in for a big lovely hug.

When they were done, they followed Matt and Jeff into the living room.

Matt was settled on the couch and Chris sat down next to him.

"What happened?" Granny looked deep in Mattīs eyes.

"Dad caught me and Chris kissing. I told him about me being gay and engaged to Chris and he told me to leave his house." Matt spoke, his voice thick with tears.

"Oh Matt believe me he still love you it was just to much for him, give your dad some time." She patted his leg. "By the way Congratulations when did you two decided to get married, and when do want to marry?" She smiled to Chris.

"Thanx. This Christmas and next summer." He pulled Matt against his chest again.

"Matt your dad will be calm down till then." She smoothed Mattīs dark curls back and gave Chris a warm smile.

"Anybody hungry?"

"No I just want to sleep." Matt sounded so tired.

"I come with you." Chris looked at Matt sadly. He hated to see his baby so upset.

"Itīs ok. I guess Chris is staying in your room Matty, so I donīt have to prepare the guest room." Granny winked at Matt and for the first time since he had left his dad her older Grandson smiled. A small smile, but a smile nonetheless. "Yup!"

Chris and Matt got upstairs then, leaving Jeff and his granny alone.

"I hope youīre right and dad calmed down. You know how hard it was for Matt to lose his mother, he couldnīt stand losing his dad as well." Jeff sighed.

"Believe me baby he will and everything will be just fine."

***********
Matt laid in his old bed, his head on his loveīs shoulder, still very upset.

"Why coulndīt he understand? I love you Chris and Iīm so happy with you. Why canīt he be happy for me?"

"I donīt know my love, but Iīm sure your grandma is right. Your father will understand, in time, but he will understand. Then we could have a nice little wedding." Chris stroke Mattīs hair.

"I hope so!" Matt was still not so sure.

"He will, youīll see. And I love you no matter what. Now sleep my angel." Chris placed a kiss on Mattīs head.

"I love you too Little One." Hearing his nickname Chris smiled, then put the covers around them and listened to his Mattyīs breathing.

Only when he was sure his love was asleep, Chris allowed himself to close his eyes.

************
Matt woke up the next morning, feeling a hand gently stroke his cock. Opening his eyes he looked into blue eyes as deep as the ocean.

"Chris what are you doing?" Mattīs voice was still sleepy.

"Shh my love. Let me take your pain away." Chris voice was only a whisper.

Matt closed his eyes again and lost himself in the feeling of Chris hands on him.

Chris hands moved away, but were soon replaced with his soft velvet like mouth.

Matt forgot all his problems as his Little One sucked him off gently.

Letting out a scream like moan Matt came in Chrisīs mouth and Chris swallowed everything that Matt offered him.

Matt laid motionless a few moments, before he pulled Chris up for a deep kiss.

"I want you in me. I need to feel your love." Matt was still a little breathless.

"Sure baby." Chris moaned as he slowly insert a fingen into Matt.

After loosening him up he added another one and gently hitting Mattīs sweet spot deep inside.

Matt pushed against Chrisīs hand, he needed him so badly.

Chris knew that Matt was ready, so he placed Mattīs legs around his hips and pushed his cock gently into Matt.

He gave Matt some time to adjust untill he solwly thrusted into his dark haired lover.

The room was full of moans as the speed of Chrisīs thrusting increased. He has Mattīs cock in his hands strocking it in time with his thrusts. Suddently Matt came again, screaming Chrisīs name over and over again. Chris gave Matt one last hard thrust then he came and collapsed on top of him.

They both were breathless and laid stil waiting for their heartbeat to return to a normal pace.

"Thank you." Matt pressed closer to Chris.

"Welcome. Feeling better,my angel?"

"A little bit." Matt smiled, again a small smile, but it meant the world to Chris.

************

Chris looked up to his angel. Two weeks and still no word from Mattīs dad.

Matt sat next to his brother on the brench in the lockerroom.

He was still upset and even though he tryed his best to hide it, Chris could see it in his normaly joyful brown eyes. His angels eyes which now were sad and tired.

To double his luck Chris had to defend his Intercontinental Champion Title tonight.

It wasnīt the fact that he had to loose his title that bothers him, it was the fact that he had to fight against his love, his Matty. He wanted to hug him, to love him, not to beat him.

But he had to and he had to beat him bad, the booker wanted a long, hard and brutal fight.

****************
On their way to the ring Matt put an arm around Chrisīs shoulder.

"Hey Little One, no need to be nervous." Matt could feel how uneasy his love was about the situation.

"I know Matt, but I donīt want to hurt you."

"Little One I love you and will forever. I know you wouldnīt hurt me. Besides when we get back home we could celebrate a new champ." Matt grinned.

"Ok Matty I love you too." They kissed and then went through the curtain.

The match went well so far, both tryed not to hurt each other too bad.

But now came the part Chris hated the most. He had to do a Lionsault on Matt.

Matt laid on the mat after the bulldog and Chris run to the rops, then jump off the second rop and the impossible happend. His foot sliped and he chrashed down towards Matt. He was on top of his love and knew immediately, that he landed extreamly wrong on Mattīs ribs. Chris pushed himself up and looked at Matt. His love was rolling on the mat, holding his ribs, screaming and crying. Oh God he coughed blood.

Without thinking twice he rolled Matt to the edge of the ring, then went out and took his love into his arms.

He carried Matt into the backstage area to the waiting EMTīs.

Screw the match, the wellbeing of his angel is more importent than anything else.

By the time Chris got to the EMTīs Matt was in so much pain he was barly conscious. Chris handed Matt to the EMTīs and they put him on a stretcher, Matt still holding his hand in a thight grip.

"Donīt leave me Little One."

"Shh angel Iīm right here. I wonīt leave you." Chris looked up to one of the EMTīs.

"Weīll take him to Saint Maryīs hospital. He will be ok."

"You hear that angel, youīll be fine, now let go of my hand so they can take you to the hospital." Chris forced a smile onto his face.

"Donīt leave me Little One." Matt begged.

"Iīm not leaving you. Iīll go right after the ambulace."

"Ok I love you Little One." Matt felt into unconsciousness then.

"I love you to angel." Chris whispered as he watched the EMTīs take Matt into an abulance.

After the car left Chris couldnīt stand it anylonger, he broke into tear and his knees going weak. He saw himself hitting the hard floor, but he didnīt care if he got hurt, as two strong arms caught him. Chris looked up and saw Jeff standing over him.

"Shh Chris shh itīs ok."

"Itīs not ok, Jeff. I hurt him, I hurt my angel." Chris cryed.

"Shh Youīll see he will be fine." Jeff tryed to calm him.

"Oh God I hurt him, I hurt him."

"Shh Chris come on letīs drive to Matty." Jeff pulled Chris to his feed and suportet him on the way to the car.

*************

Jeff looked at Chris who sat in a chair on the other side on the white waiting room.
On their way he had calmed down a bit, but as the doctor told them, that Matt had at least three broken ribs and interior bleedings and needed a emergency operation. Chris broke down again. He felt so guilty. Jeff told him it was an accident, but Chris refused to believe that.
Jeff sat down next to Chris and put his arm around his shoulder.
"He will be fine."  Matt was in there since 9.20 pm now it was long after midnight.
Chris just rocked himself back and forth and whispered.

"It’s all my fault, I hurt him."
Suddenly the door opened and the doctor from earlier this night appeared, looking around the room.
Chris practically jumped to his feet and run to the doctor.
"How is he, is he alive, is he alright?" It came out in a rush.
"Woah, woah young man, calm down."
"I don’t wanna calm down. How is he?" Chris screamed and was crying again.
Jeff came up behind Chris and put an arm around his shoulder.
"Shh Chris shh." Jeff rubbed his hand over Chris’s back, and then turned to the doctor.
"How is my brother?" he asked as calm as he could.
"He is fine. At the moment, he is sleeping, but tomorrow he will be as good as new. A little tired but ok." The doctor smiled.
"Oh thank God. You see Matty is just fine." Jeff smiled and pushed some hair out off Chris face.
"Can ... can we see him?" Chris voice was thick with tears, but it were tears of relief now. Still he felt guilty about what he has done to his angel, but Matty was ok and he could talk to him in the morning. He could explain what had happened. He could tell him how much he loved him.
"Sure but only a minute." The doctor led them into Matt’s room.

*************

Jeff and Chris gasped as they saw Matt. He lay in the white bed and looked so fragile and pale.
Chris rushed to his Mattyīs side and took his hand in his own. He gave his love a small kiss on the forehead.
"Oh Matty my love." Chris had tears in his eyes as he shook his head sadly.
Jeff stood behind Chris and looked at his sleeping brother. Sure Matt looked pale and his face was motionless, but he seemed somewhat at ease. He showed no sighs of pain.
"He will be fine." Jeff whispered.
Chris was still crying as the door opened.
"Iīm sorry, but Mr. Hardy needs his rest." The doctor said softly as he approached Chris and Jeff.
Chris stood up and gave Matt a loving kiss on the hand, and then he left the room with Jeff.
***************
Chris was sitting in the white waiting room again. Jeff has left for the hotel, to get some things for Matt and to call their dad.
Chris looked up to the clock. Jeff was gone for almost an hour. He said that he was going to sleep in the hotel. Chris however wanted to be at his angelīs side.
He sighed as he tried to get comfortable in one of those hospital chairs.
"Mr. ah" Chris looked up and saw the doctor again.
"Irvine, but call me Chris."
"Ok, Chris." The doctor smiled. "You wouldnīt leave Mr. Hardy, would you?"
"No!" Chris shook his head. "Matt is my fiancée, wild horses couldnīt get me away from him now."
"Oh. My best wishes. He will be fine." The doctor smiled again. "Come on."
Chris stood up and followed the doctor into a room. He was so tired at first he doesnīt realized that it was Mattīs room.
Chris looked from the doctor to Matt then back again. "Huh?"
"Iīve seen how much you care for your love, and it is no problem if you stay here with him."
Chris smiled he was so happy right now he doesnīt know what to say.
"Sit down, Iīll be right back." The doctor left the room.
After Chris sat down he took his loveīs hand and stared down at the sleeping beauty.
Even now, sleeping in a hospital bed, Matt looked incredible beautiful.
Chris heard the door open again and looked around.
The doctor came in with a blanket in his hands.
"Try to get some sleep, Chris." He put the blanket over Chris and walked out.
"Thank you!" Chris smiled.
"Youīre welcome."
Chris looked back at Matt. He looked so peaceful, his dark, silken hair famed out of the pillow.
Chris knew his angel would be ok. He lowered his head to the bed, he felt so tired. Soon after that Chris closed his eyes and felt asleep.
*************
Matt awoke in the morning, his vision was a little blurred, but he recognized that he was in a hospital.
He felt something warm around his hand and that something trickled his arm. He looked to his side and slowly his eyes began to focus. Matt had to smile at the picture before him. There was his love, his Little One with his head on Mattīs bed and his hands held Mattīs protective. Matt felt a rush of love all through his body, seeing Chris by his side.
He moved his hand a little, causing Chris to wake up.
Chris looked at Matt and the moment he saw the love in Mattīs brown eyes he bagan to cry.
He doesnīt know what feeling made him cry, the guilt for hurting him, the joy to see him alright or the love he felt for his Matty, his angel at that moment.
"Chris! Iīm ok." Matt said.
"Chris shh, please stop crying shh."
******************
Gilbert Hardy stood in front of hospital room 282. This was the room, in which his older son was. His son, whom he knew he had hurt more than he could ever imagine. The words he said, they sill rung in his ears. He didn’t mean them. He loved his son, but it was all too much at that moment. He understood now and maybe Matthew could forgive him. Than again he has slapped the man, who was probably the love of Matt’s life. And he wasn’t sure if his son could forgive him for this.

He sill remembered what Jeff has said as he called him.

He doesn’t say. "Your son is in hospital."

He doesn’t say what had happened.

He just said in a cold voice. "I want to inform you that my brother is in hospital."

The whole trip down from Cameron he has been worried sick about Matt’s condition.

What is if Matt is seriously hurt? What is if he is ... Gilbert couldn’t go on with that kind of thinking.

He wanted to say so much. He had to say so much.

The scene he saw as he finally opened the door nearly made him cry out loud.

There was his son, bandages all around his upper body, trying to calm a crying blond man, whom Gilbert realized as Chris Irvine, Matt’s fiancé. They didn’t seem to notice him.

"Shh Little One shh, I love you." Matt whispered.

"Matt I’m sorry. I love you so much, angel. I love you." Chris said between sobs.

"Chris shh, Look at me Chris." Matt took his love’s face in his hands causing Chris to look at him.

"I’m fine Little One, I know it wasn’t your fault baby." Matt pulled Chris’s head down to his and kissed him, than he laid back on his pillow.

"I love you." Chris whipped his tears away.

"I love you too Chris. And now, no more tears, ok?"

"Kay." Chris leaned down and brushed his lips over Matt’s in a light, loving kiss.

Only now Gilbert fully realized just how much Matt loved Chris and how much Chris loved and cared about Matt. He felt tears in his eyes over what he had done to both of them.

"Iīm so sorry." He whispered into the silent room.

Chris jumped to his feet and stood protective in front of Matt.

"I’m sorry for slapping you. I didn’t want to hurt you, Chris." Gilbert stepped closer to Chris, then looked over at Matt, who lay in his bed, his mouth slightly open.

"And I’m truly sorry for saying those things to you Matthew. I didn’t mean them, your my son and I love you, will always love you no matter what. Forgive me, please, I’m sorry." He couldn’t go on as he broke into sobs.

Matt saw in his father’s eyes that his words were true.

"I forgive you, just don’t do anything like that again." Matt whispered own tears in his eyes now.

Matt looked at Chris, and Chris knew what he had to do.

Since Matt wasn’t able, Chris stepped towards the older man, put his arms around him and let him cry on this shoulder.

"I forgive you too." As Chris whispered those words he felt like a big burden was lifted from his shoulders. He knew everything would be fine, Matt was going to recover, they would have a lovely wedding and most important Gilbert would hand his son over to Chris at their wedding.
