Tyson was many things, a showman, a gamer, a comedian, a romantic, a great wrestler. A liar though not so much, when he got together with Renee he felt his world just made a lot more sense. He was happier, he was in a better mood more often. He was just back to how he was in Japan, genuinely happy to be there. Though with his sudden happiness also came a lot of questions. With the questions, a lot of deductions and with the dirtsheets it was almost all but confirmed.
He had to come clean about his relationship with Renee. Luckily it had been months since their fling and her seperation with Mox. No one suspected that they were doing this when they were together. Granted they started this because he was distant and this was a one or two time thing before she made the big decision. Still, he was a bit relieved not for himself but for her well being. A lot of his life had become centered around her and he wouldn't have it other way. She was his rock, his happiness and he was showing it. He didn't want her to feel neglected while not overdoing it either. They were happy even if it did lead to a bunch of awkward talks to a seemingly okay Jon. Which makes it even harder when they had to work together for their big match. He had been avoiding the topic with Renee for a while. He knew that Tony wanted him to win the tournament. He didn't let Renee know but he knew she had an inkling that he was supposed to go over and face Jon.
So when the night came after Full Gear and he won, he was expecting her to bring it up. That night he was exhausted from his match, though satisfied with the outcome. Walking over and letting the guys know he was going back to the hotel room. He couldn't wait to see Renee, they had been staying in the rooms provided by Tony instead of their Air BnB due to the restrictions that seemed to be getting stricter. Not to mention it was close to the arena and comfortable. It was as if he was living in the hotel at this rate honestly. Walking around the back to his locker room from the showers. He was dressed in his normal clothes. Making his way back to the lounge where he knew Renee was and the other staff and couples. He knew she would be more comfortable there and she could also get an idea of their backstage. He knew she loved that stuff, even though he wasn't pushing her to work on it. He knew she had bigger dreams, "Heey! I am alive. Stevie didn't rip my head off." Tyson joked wrapping his arms around her. He kissed her a big kiss, a 'I missed you' kiss. it seems like everyone was off to another section. Which was good, he loved the privacy.
"Ready to go?"

There was a part of Tyson that was afraid that the flames would cool off. That this was just something that she felt because it wasn't supposed to be at the time. Sort of like things that are forbidden tend to be a turn on for some people. Luckily he didn't need to worry about that. It was clear throughout the months that their attraction had just gotten stronger. It was just much more meaningful when you knew the person you were with was all yours. That everyone else knew that, it seemed going official was what made that flame go wilder than it has before. He smiled kissing her back as the two made it to their rental. "I have? I think my body's just trying to get used to it again." He tried to use that excuse at least. "You know I've been out of the whole intense match scene for almost a year and a half. I'm sure once my body gets back into the groove it'll be fine. Trust me." He tried to reassure her squeezing her hand.
He knew there was a much more obvious reason though. He was getting old, his body wasn't as rugged as it used to be. He was prone to more injuries and he knew that. In the back of his mind he knew that, otherwise it wouldn't hurt this much to wrestle through this injury. He heard her encouraging words and smiled. She always knew how to make him feel better. He had a problem, a problem that would make his critics giggle if he admitted it to them. He was selfless, as much as people wanted to twist it that he was egotistical and selfish. He was selfless, he would always look out for the person in the ring with him rather than himself. Hearing her say that he deserved this made him feel a lot better about taking the opportunity.
Though then he got the dreaded talk he had been trying to avoid. "Always yours." Tyson teased before hearing her next words. This was different, he never had throughout his years in Japan someone that cared about his wellbeing. There was his parents, yes, his sister, yes but not a partner like Renee. It was touching, he loved it and he knew deep down that she was right but he knew that Tony was counting on him. "I know Renee.. and I'll try to talk to Tony about it but you know. Jon's scheduled to go to Japan. I know how grueling and difficult traveling is nowadays. I talked with Jon and he seemed.. okay." He told her trying to ease her worries. "Tony mentioned that maybe he'll see what he can do about having it in a few weeks but.. whatever he decides to do. I am not going to question it." He frowned a bit taking her hand. "I know I look like I am made out of glass but I'll be fine. Trust me, I am Canadian remember. We're made to withstand a maple tree falling on us." He tried joking a little, getting her to smile. He knew she was worried, hell he was worried too but for her.
