I decided to post up my own little fics and drabbles for anyone interested to read what goes on in my mind. I thought up this story last night when I was trying to fall asleep.
One beautiful sunny day in June all of the women over the age of 5 suddenly died. The world went into chaos because of course it was women that held the world together. Scientists eventually discovered that it was something that happened when certain celestial bodies were in close proximity of each other and that only happened every 50 million years or so.
Roman Reigns had a daughter, just one month old when it happened. His wife had died in childbirth and all he had left was his little Layla and his best friend Seth Rollins. The first year was horrible. Riots and violence erupted at all times of the day and night, America was not a safe place to be anymore, nowhere was. Two months after the event, Seth's apartment building was burned to the ground and he went to live with Roman and Layla.
Roman was glad to have someone with him again to help keep Layla safe and Seth loved the little girl fiercely. They took special care in buying locks and reinforcing Roman's small house so they would feel safe but it still was a hard life living under constant threat of the world suddenly gone mad.
Seth was a writer but the world didn't need writers anymore so he threw himself into being a stay at home parent, taking care of Layla, cleaning the house and making meals for when Roman got home from his work as a Doctor.
Six months after the event, the government started to get back on track and they started making safe, gated communities for families. In order to be accepted to one of these communities you needed to have a partner, a child and a useful job. Roman came home excitedly with the news and the two straight men decided to get married to give Layla a safe and happy life. Since they were best friends and knew everything about each other, it was easy to convince the government that they were in love and after a year on the waiting list, they had a safe new home.
The communities consisted of apartment buildings, schools, shopping areas, playgrounds and a small hospital where Roman worked. The work wasn't hard but it was better than patching up bullet wounds and stab wounds like he had been doing since the event.
Their apartment was large and airy since they didn't have to board up the windows anymore and their little family thrived living there. Layla made friends with the other little children that lived there and Seth and Roman made friends with their parents. Life felt normal again and the family was happy.
Before long Layla's third birthday was upon them. They threw a princess themed party for her and invited all of her little friends and their parents to their apartment. Seth had baked a beautiful three-tiered pink cake and Layla had clapped with delight when she saw it.
Long after the party had ended, they put Layla to bed and collapsed tiredly on the couch with beers. After some time, Roman noticed how close they were sitting and that his arm was around Seth's shoulders. He looked at Seth's face with wonder, suddenly realizing the depth of his feelings for the man and the next thing he knew, their lips were touching. That night when they went to bed, they shared it for the first time as lovers and not just as friends.
