June 1, 2014. A day Seth Rollins would remember for the rest of his life. The Shield had just had their greatest victory against Evolution at Payback. The trio had gone out to celebrate and Dean had been a little over-excited so Seth and Roman had left him at the club with a few of their other friends. Truthfully though, Seth and Roman had just wanted to be alone together. They had this rarely spoken of affection for each other stemming back from their days training together to become the WWE Superstars they were now. Their relationship had never crossed a physical line, but they had come close a few times over the years but Roman would always be the one to pull back and say that the time wasn't right and that they should wait.

So Roman stayed the big brother and Seth the little and they tried to get by with lingering glances and seemingly innocent touches. To the public and their friends they simply looked like close friends and the brothers they proclaimed themselves to be and when they were away from prying eyes they had long talks about the future and how they couldn't wait to be together. But everything changed on June 2, 2014.

Seth removed his key card and pushed open their hotel room door laughing. Today was the best day of his life. They had just won the biggest match of their career and he was mildly buzzed from their post-match celebration with Dean at a nearby bar. The match was amazing, probably the match of the year and even though he had bumped his head a little on a table, he was feeling great.

Why wouldn't he feel great though? He had everything he wanted - well almost everything. Roman walked in behind him with a big smile on his handsome face and he closed the door behind him and threw the deadbolt. Seth turned and hugged Roman and Roman hugged him back, he wanted more but Roman didn't think that it was the right time yet but that was okay, Roman was worth the wait.

They stood there with their arms around each other for a long time, longer than a hug should be but neither seemed inclined to break the hug. Roman slid his hands up and down Seth's back and Seth sighed and played with the little hairs that had slipped out of Roman's bun. He loved these times when they could be alone together, they almost made up for all the time he spent pining for the man in his arms – almost.

"I think it's time Seth." Roman whispered into his ear.

Seth sighed happily. "Time for what?"

"Time for us to be together." Roman answered drawing Seth tighter into his arms.

"What! Really?" Seth pulled his head away from Roman's shoulder and looked into his grey eyes hoping that Roman meant what he thought he meant.

"Really." Roman said softly. He reached his hand up and gently cupped Seth's face, running his thumb over Seth's lips.

Their eyes locked, and Seth swallowed hard, last minute fears running through his mind. What if they didn't have any chemistry? He'd never kissed a man before, what if it was weird? What if Roman didn't like kissing him and decided that he didn't like him after all? What if... Seth couldn't even finish that thought before Roman's soft, pillowy lips were on him and he moaned... it was amazing.

The kiss was soft and tender and loving and everything he had wanted since he first realized that he had feelings for Roman, but it didn't stay that way for long, after all they had been denying themselves for so long. The kiss turned scorchingly passionate and Seth's toes curled from the pleasure as he wrapped his arms firmly around Roman's neck and pulled them together hard.

They couldn't get enough of each other and they made out like teenagers, exploring each other like they had wanted to all these years and barely even pulling away for the briefest of breaths. Their crotches brushed together and they were both getting hard, and he couldn't believe it, he was getting another man hard, Roman was hard for him.

Through their haze of passion they heard faint whistling moving closer in the hall and it was unmistakably Dean returning to the room. They broke apart quickly, Roman running for the chair and Seth running to the bathroom and slamming the door.

Seth turned on the water before looking at himself in the mirror, his lips were red and swollen and his cheeks were a rosy pink and his eyes looked dazed like he was high or something. He touched his lips and smiled to himself remembering the way Roman's lips felt on his. It was the best kisses that he had ever had and tonight when he went to sleep, he would replay those stolen moments over and over.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

Seth's eyes fluttered, then opened as the annoying beeping from the alarm clock woke him up. His head was pounding like a thousand jackhammers and he reached over to stop the alarm and it was then that he saw that he had an IV in his arm.

"Seth! You're awake!" A voice that sounded like his mothers called out.

"Mom." He said, his voice sore and gravelly. "What's going on?"

His mother's tearful face moved over him and she hugged him with more strength than he would have thought she possessed.

"Mom, what's going on?" He asked, trying not to panic. He looked around the room and finally realized that he was in a hospital room not his bed at the hotel. Where was Roman and Dean? Were they hurt too?

His mother lifted her head off his chest and looked at him with tears streaming down her face. "You were in an accident honey. You've been in a coma for 2 weeks."

"... A coma?" He said reaching up to touch his head. He felt around but all he could feel were bandages wrapped all around his head.

A doctor and a few nurses rushed into the room and before he knew it, he was being poked, prodded and examined all the while trying not to panic and wondering where Roman was. He needed to feel Roman's comforting presence.

The doctor started asking him questions and he seemed to answer them to the doctor's satisfaction.

"Just a few more questions Seth." The doctor said reassuringly. "Who is the current President?"

That was an easy one. "Barack Obama."

The doctor looked at the nurse but Seth couldn't read his expression.

"Seth, what year is it?" The doctor asked slowly.

Another easy one. "2014."

The doctor looked at the nurse again but Seth thought that he could see concern on his face. The doctor looked back at him and took a deep breath. "Seth, the year is 2017."

* I hope you're ready for a new story and a little bit of angst.
