Summery: Kane protects Trish from Chief Morley. This takes places after the Raw where Morley had Bubba Ray beat up Trish.

Trish walked slowly up the ramp to the back. She didn’t now whether to go straight to her dressing room or to the trainer. Deciding she’d rather lay down then get an ice pack so she head straight for her dressing room. She heard voices around the corner where her dressing room was. Peeking around the corner where her dressing room was she saw Chief Morley with Bubba Ray waiting for her. ‘Oh Christ.’ She thought. “Now what am I going to do?” she whispered to herself.

Chief Morley looked up and saw Trish standing at the corner. He smirked, “What do ya know? Get her Bubba.”

Trish took off on a dead run back the way she came. She looked at the doors she passed trying to find a dressing room of someone that would help her. Then she saw it. She beat on the door. ‘God please let him be in there.’

Kane had just changed out of his ring gear into his street clothes and plain black mask. He heard someone pounding on the door and groaned. Why people couldn’t just leave him alone he would never know. Fling open the door and found himself with an armful of Trish Stratus. ‘Well this is very unexpected.’

Trish fell into Kane’s arms and sighed in relief. “Thank god you’re here. I didn’t know where else I was going to go.”

Kane didn’t know exactly what to do. He sighed. “Trish. Calm down tell me what’s wrong.” He left his arm around her so she would feel safe. ‘Yeah keep telling yourself that big man. You know you are in love with her.’

Trish relaxed somewhat being near Kane helped. ‘Its funny how things change. I use to be afraid of him now I kinda like him in a boyfriend way.’ She thought. “Bubba and Morley are right on my tail. God only knows what they want with me.”

Sure enough as soon as Trish said about Bubba and Morley they came around the corner. Looking up the hall for her. Trish looked up at Kane, “Please help me.”

Kane looked down at her and melted into her eyes. ‘Get a grip. She wouldn’t go out with someone like you. You are a freak and she is beautiful.’ “Of course I’ll help you. Come in here.” He stepped out of the way so Trish could come in.

Trish walked into Kane’s locker room and sat on the couch that was in there. “Why me? What did I do?” She looked at Kane like he had all the answers.

Kane shrugged. “Who knows. Morley is just an idiot.” He noticed the huge bump on her forehead from where she hit the table because of Jazz. “Is your head okay?”

Trish reached up and gingerly touched her forehead and winced. “Yeah I’m fine. Nothing at little aspirin and sleep won’t fix.”

Kane nodded. “Did you get check by the trainer?”

Trish shook her head. “No I just wanted to go back to my locker room and get my stuff and go back to the hotel but I didn’t make to my locker room because that is where they were waiting for me.”

Kane shook his head. ‘Morley is such an ass.’ He grabbed his bags and then held out his hand. “Come on. I’ll take you to your dressing room to get your stuff then I’ll walk you out to your car.”

Trish smiled. “Thanks Kane. I appreciate it but I don’t have a ride. I have to scout for one. I rode here with Test and Stacey but they left early for some reason.”

Kane frowned. “Well that was rude.” He thought for a minute. “How about I give you a ride back to the hotel?”

Trish smiled. “I’d like that.” She took his hand and walked beside him out the doorway and through the hall. It seemed to take less time to get to back to her locker room. ‘Well it does seem to take longer when you are being chased by maniacs.’ She said to herself. They rounded the corner to Trish dressing room.

Morley and Bubba Ray had turned around and headed back to Trish’s dressing room. “She has to come back sometime.” Morley said. “An when she does we’re going to get her.” No one really new the reason Morley had it out for Trish. He thought about what had happened after RAW went off the air last week. He had asked Trish out on a date and she laughed in his face. She said that she didn’t go out with straight men who didn’t know how to have fun. ‘I’ll show her fun.’ He smirked evilly.

They stood in front of Trish’s dressing room. “She has to come back sometime.” Morley said. He looked up and saw Trish coming around the corner. He smiled but it soon turned into a look of fear. ‘She has Kane with her.’

Trish stopped when she saw Morley and Bubba Ray. She stepped behind Kane. ‘God. Why can’t they just leave me alone?’

Kane shielded Trish from danger. “You got a problem Morley?” He stood at his full height of 7 feet. He smiled inside when Morley and Bubba Ray cringed then shook their heads. “Well then more out of the way so we can get into Trish’s dressing room.”

Morley and Bubba Ray stepped to the side so Kane and Trish could go in. Before Trish could step in to the room Morley whispered in her ear but loud enough for Kane to hear, “He can’t be with you are the time and when he isn’t I will be there.”

Trish cringed and Kane pulled her into the room and slammed the door in Morley’s face. “What an ass.” He growled. Turning he saw Trish slowly put things into her bag. “Trish.”

Trish stopped what she was doing and turned around. “What?”

Kane sighed. “You know I don’t have a roommate tonight cause Rob is staying with Lita tonight.”

Trish smiled and walked over to the big man. She hugged him and said, “Thanks Kane I owe ya one.”

Kane smiled down at Trish, “No problem. You ready to go.” He held out his hand to her. He smiled inside when she put her and in his. ‘She is so beautiful. I wished she’d like me.’ He sighed.

Trish watched the tall man frown and sigh. ‘I wonder what he’s thinking.’ Shrugging she followed him out the room and closed the door. They walked quickly through the hallways and out of the building. She looked around, “Where’s your car parked?”

Kane pointed with his hand toward the last street light in the parking lot. “The red truck out there.” When he looked over at Trish she was looking around. He squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry.” They walked out toward the truck.

Kane walked around to the passenger side to unlock it first. He opened the door for her. When she went to get in he saw her wince and was at her side instantly. “Are you right? Do you want to get check at the hospital?”

Trish smiled up at him and shook her head. “Nah. I am fine really. Just need a nice hot shower and sleep.” She hoped up in to the truck.

Kane closed the door and walked around. He walked slowly around the truck to the driver’s side. He had to get rid of the arousal that he had acquired when she mentioned showering. He didn’t know how he was going to get through the whole night with her. Climbing in the truck he threw his bag in to the backseat (It’s a cab and a half J). He felt Trish looking at him when he looked over at her she blushed and looked away.

BACK AT THE HOTEL:

Kane walked around and opened the door for Trish. He reached into the back and grabbed her bag and his. “We’re in room 312.” He handed her the key.

Trish smiled, “Okay. Thanks for letting me room with you. I hate rooming by myself.” She opened the hotel front door and held for Kane. “So what do you for fun Kane?”

Kane looked at her funny. “I don’t have fun. I never have. If you want to know what I do in my off time I work out or just stay in.”

Trish frowned. ‘That’s so sad. He needs to have fun.’ She smiled at him as the got on the elevator, “Well tonight you are going to have fun.”

Kane thanked god for his mask so Trish couldn’t see his antsy expression. He had never been with a woman. He just hoped he didn’t embarrass himself in front of her. Then the elevator dinged for their floor Kane said, “Wait I’ll get off first. Morley or Bubba might be out there.”

Trish smiled and went for him to motion for her before she followed him off the elevator and down the hall. When Kane opened the room door he looked around then ushered her in. “So what do you wanna do tonight?”

Kane just looked at her. “I don’t know. I told you I usually just sit around” He looked at the floor. Usually his life was fine with him but telling her about it made it seem so boring and lifeless. “Why don’t you go take a shower and see if your muscles straighten out. I’ll order dinner. Anything special you want?”

Trish shook her head, “Nah. I just don’t eat fish.” She made a face. She gathered her things for her shower then went into the bathroom shutting the door behind her.

Kane shuddered. ‘Get it together. She is just staying with you because she doesn’t want to get hurt by Morley and Bubba Ray. She doesn’t like you like that.’

On the other side of the bathroom door Trish leaned against it. ‘He is so nice and sweet. He would never go out with someone like me. He is just being nice and helping me out.’ She strip out of her clothes and jumped in the shower.

AROUND 30 minutes later:

Trish put on her lavender nightgown and matching robe. She put her hair up in a loose bun before going out into the main room. She smiled when she saw the room. Kane had set up there dinner on the coffee table near the couch. ‘He is so thoughtful.’

Kane heard the bathroom door open. He was putting the plated on the coffee table. Turning around he was glad he had nothing in his hands. Looking her up and down he thought, ‘She is so beautiful.’ “I thought we could get on the couch instead of at the table.”

Trish smiled, “That’s fine. What did ya get?” She walked over and sat down next to him. She surveyed the food on the table. There was 2 hamburgers with a slice a cheese on the side and French fries, salads, cheesecake, strawberries, and bottled water. “Wow this is quite a spread. Good thing I am hungry.”

Kane shrugged, “I didn’t know what you ate so I just got two of everything I wanted.”

Trish smiled again. “No sweat. I love all this stuff too. No matter what people think I do eat. I just work out a lot.” Sitting on the couch she grabbed a salad and picked through it. “You eat tomatoes?”

Kane looked at her and cocked his head to the side. “Sure. Why?”

Trish shrugged “I hate tomatoes.”

“Oh.” Kane said. “I hate cucumbers?”

Trish smiled and said, “Tell ya what you give me all your cucumbers and I will give you my tomatoes.”

Kane smiled and nodded, “Deal.” He picked the cucumbers off his salad and laid them on Trish’s tray.

Trish followed suit and laid her tomatoes on Kane’s tray. “There.” She picked up the Ranch dressing that came with her salad. “What are we going to do? Watch tv?”

Kane shrugged, “Sure.”

Trish looked over at Kane and frowned. “Aren’t you going to take your mask off to eat?”

Kane tensed and shook his head, “I never take it off in front of people.” He sighed. “Its just this thing I have. People usually freak when I take it off so I just leave it on.”

Trish frowned deepened, ‘That is so sad.’ “You can take it off in front of me Kane. I am not going anywhere.”

Kane frowned and shook his head. “I am going to take a shower. I’ll eat later.” With that he got and went into the bathroom with his bag.

Trish sighed and whispered to herself, “Way to go Trish.” She ate her salad but left the rest for later.

30 minutes later Kane came out of the bathroom. He saw Trish sitting on the couch watching something on the television. “Trish.”

Trish jumped when she heard her name. “What’s the matter Kane?”

Kane shook his head, “Nothing. I just wanted to say I am sorry about earlier. Its just I have never been comfortable in front of people.”

Trish turned the television off and stood. “Kane I am not going anywhere but if you don’t want to show me that’s fine. Just remember I wouldn’t judge you.” She sighed, “Well I going to bed I think I am sore and tired.”

Kane stood there. ‘This could be my only chance for someone to like me even with my scars and even if she was disgusted it isn’t like it hasn’t happened before.’

Trish walked over to a bed and pulled the blankets back. She felt Kane’s hand on her shoulder and turned around. He looked at her silently then he sat down on his bed. She walked over to him and stood in front of him.

Kane reached up and unhooked the clasps in the back of the mask. He let it fall away to the floor. He walked up at her waiting to see what she was going to do.

Trish stood and looked at his face. She reached up and pushed the hair away from his face. ‘He is beautiful.’ She traced the scars with her fingers.

Kane closed his eyes and let himself feel her touching his face. When he opened his eyes he saw her looking at him. He looked at the floor.

Trish put her hand on his chin and pulled his face back up to her. “I think you’re beautiful.” She leaned and brushed her lips lightly over his.

Kane closed his eyes and sighed. “Trish.”

“Shh.” Trish said. “I won’t hurt you.”

They kissed for what seemed like forever. When Trish said, “I think we should go to bed.”

Kane eyes got wide and he blushed.

Trish chuckled. “Not for that. Just for sleep.” She put her hand in his and pulled him up and over to the bed where she pulled the blankets back. She laid down and pulled Kane down with her. They snuggled together.

Trish looked up at Kane’s peaceful sleepy face and sighed her last thought before she fell asleep was, ‘I am glad that Morley and Bubba were after me.’
