A/N: I know its been nearly a year since I've written anything, but it's not because I've lost my passion for fanfiction, believe me. My blossoming YouTube channel which you can find at Charm City Gamer now has most of my attention these days. Anyway it's that day again, June 2nd. It's now 2 years since The Shield's heartbreaking split. So this little one-shot is based on that. Hope y'all enjoy!

June 2nd 2016

Seth Rollins took a deep, nervous breath as he stood outside WWE Champion Roman Reigns locker room. On-screen, after his big return, the two had quickly begun feuding over the latter's WWE title with Seth still being the heel despite the crowd's clear desire to cheer him, and truth be told, he wanted to be a babyface again as well, to freshen up his character.

But off-screen, he was still on shaky terms with both of his former Shield brothers. Dean was still extremely mad at him, at least as far as he knew. When Seth turned heel, Dean's expression of horror and shock was totally 100% legitimate, so Seth felt terrible for that. Last year on June 2nd, he couldn't find either guy in order to try and make up in some way, but this time, he was determined to at least try and make amends.

Drawing another deep breath, Seth knocked on the door.

"It's open, come on in." Came the deep baritone voice of the WWE Champion Roman Reigns.

Seth swallowed the figurative lump in his throat and walked inside where much to his chagrin, Roman wasn't alone as their former partner, Dean Ambrose was there with him as well.

Instantly, Dean's eyes locked on to Seth and his fist clenched as he growled. "What are YOU doing here, you scumbag?!" He snarled.

Roman placed a calming hand on Dean's shoulder, in calming posture. "Easy Dean.." He said to his more unhinged best friend as he looked at Seth. "Unlike Dean, I'm not gonna scream at ya since it's been 2 years, but given the date, y'all don't really belong in here, but I'm not gonna kick ya out either. So talk, Seth. Why did you come in here knowing that today is the day you backstabbed us?" Roman asked, deathly calm.

Seth cringed at being reminded of the date and of his actions that night. "I know I shouldn't be here Roman, but please, let me try to make amends to you guys. I never wanted to turn, but you guys have to understand, the feuds we had, they were great for the company and they helped elevate all 3 of us. Besides, no stable lasts forever, and what more could The Shield accomplish?" Seth asked calmly.

"That may be but you didn't have to stab us in the fucking back!" Dean roared.

"Don't yell at me Ambrose!" Seth yelled back.

"Well don't come in here and-" Dean started.

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF Y'ALL!" Roman boomed.

"But Roman-" They protested.

"ZIP IT, YOU 2 OVERGROWN 5-YEAR-OLDS!" Roman growled.

Both guys immediately shut up.

"Now Seth...it took a lot of courage to come here and want to apologize, so..on Dean's behalf since he ain't thinking straight, I'm willing to give you one chance to hang with us and show your sorry." Roman spoke.

Seth broke into a big grin. "Thanks Ro. I'll come find ya after the show." He said leaving.

Smackdown came and went like it was booked as it was supposed to, and Seth quickly found Dean and Roman.

The 3 of them headed to Roman's travel bus and headed to the local club.

It took awhile, but by the end of the night, the 3 of them were laughing and joking around like they once had, albeit they were all drunk.

But it seemed that all was forgiven at least for one night, which is all Seth was looking for...

The End!
