The thud as the metal chair hit his back was sickening in his ears it sounded like thunder. Roman fell to the mat as Seth then turned his attention on Dean and hit him with the chair still locked in his hands. Roman felt sick like everything was falling out around him and being replaced with darkness. His mind raced a thousand miles a minute he was confused about what was happening. What the hell was going on and what was Seth doing. This couldn't be right it just couldn't Seth loved him and would never hurt him but as the chair shots kept coming Roman was convinced this wasn't scripted. He prayed with all his heart that he was wrong and that somehow creative had slipped this into the story line without telling him or Dean. Roman writhed on the mat in pain as Seth finally threw the chair down next to where is body was sprawled out. Roman's eyes followed Seth as he made his way out of the ring and be felt another wave of disgust hit him as he saw his partner,best friend and lover get out of the ring and make his way over to Stephanie and Hunter. Seth was pulled into a hug from Stephanie and Roman had to stop himself from throwing up as he felt nauseous. Dean who had managed to recover from his chair shot crawled towards Roman. He reached his hand out towards Dean who grabbed it giving Roman some sense of comfort as Dean pulled himself closer to his friend. Dean leaned in and whispered in his ear. "What the hell is going on? All Roman could do was shake his head a little. Dean continued to press him for information. "Did you know about this?" "No."

Roman watched as best as he could as Seth disappeared to the back with the Authority. With this Dean stood first swaying a little as he planted his feet on the mat. Then he bent over and grabbed the bigger man's arm trying to help him to his feet. Roman grabbed on and tried to stand but his legs felt like jello and he hit the mat again landing on his knees. He felt weak, he couldn't ever remember feeling this weak before. Dean tried again to pull him up this time Roman stumbled a little bit before his feet found the ground. He stood as Dean reached around him and placed his hand on the middle of Roman's back. He winced at the pain that was shooting through him. The crowd was silent obviously in shock just as much as they were. Dean let go of Roman who had was finally able to steady himself. Dean made it to the ropes first and he waited as Roman slowly made his way over and through the ropes. The crowd slowly started to cheered for them as they made their way up the ramp to the back. Roman limped slowly behind Dean who at this point was becoming furious. Dean started to toss things as they made their way back to the locker room the three of them shared. Dean threw the door open and stormed over to a bench sitting down. Roman tried to sit but couldn't his back was throbbing he decided a shower was just the thing to hopefully soothe some of his aching muscles.

"Where the fuck is he?"

"I don't know."

"I swear to fucking god Roman if you are lying."

Roman held his hand up to cut Dean off before he had a chance to say anything else."I am not lying. I don't know anymore then you and I am gonna go shower." Dean glared at the bigger man as Roman rummages through his bag and finds his gym shorts and a tank top. Roman sighed as he did his best to try and keep it together since Dean is angry enough for the both of them. As soon as Roman makes it to the shower stall he began pulling his ring gear off trying to avoid hitting his ribs too much they were hurting as bad as his back. Roman turned the nozzle on the shower and cringes as the hot water hits his aching body. He rest his head against the cold tile just letting the water run down his dark locks soaking them then dripping down his chest. He closed his eyes and tried to rationalize with himself the events that just took place. He isn't sure how long he stands under the spout but his thoughts are interrupted when he hears the door to their locker room open and Dean stand up. He debates for a minute on turning the shower off and going out there to make sure his friends don't tear each other up but he hurts to bad to move so he doesn't. He hears Dean speak first and the anger laced in his voice scares Roman a little.

"What the fuck was that shit?"

"I am sorry Dean."

"What the hell are you coming in here with that sorry shit dude. You just beat the fucking piss out of Roman."

"I know Dean please just let me explain."

Roman jumped a little as he heard one of the folding chairs collide with the wall. He knew that Dean is the one who threw it he can feel the tension from the shower. Roman felt the same way as Dean but unlike the other man he would hear Seth out because he loved the smaller man. Their relationship was more important to him the acting on the anger he felt and punching Seth in the face. Besides that would've have just made the current situation worse. Dean had always been the short tempered one in the group and he had no filter.

"What the fuck could you possibly have to explain Seth. That fucking chair shit wasn't scripted I know it and so do you. What the fuck did you do Seth sell out?"

"Dean."

Roman listened as Dean slammed his fist against the wall and a stifled cry escape Seth's lips before the door of their locker room is thrown open. Roman sighs to himself as he turned and let the hot water run over his back. He is more then positive that tomorrow just walking anywhere will be a challenge with the way his body feels. Roman heard the knock it was small and light. He waited a minute and the knock was there again just as light as before. Roman doesn't say anything there is no need Seth will come in either way. Sure enough the door opens and Seth peeked his head in he looks at Roman with pleading eyes. The taller man says nothing as he turned his back to Seth. There is a thud as clothes hit the floor and then the door clicks shut. Roman felt a pair of arms wrap softly around him and he winces at the pain that rushes through him. He turned and grabbed Seth's hand gently pulling them off his body.

"Seth."

Before he can finish his thought Seth stepped forward and placed a hand gingerly on Roman's shoulder causing the taller man to turn his head and look at the sad eyes. Roman turned and Seth trailed his fingers from Roman shoulders down to his ribs as Seth's fingertips danced lightly on the bruises that had started to form on Roman's ribs."I am sorry." Was said so softly that Roman had to strain to make sure he had actually heard it.

"What is going on? That wasn't scripted and it hurt like hell."

Seth hung his head as his fingers lingered on Roman's ribs.

"I know Ro I didn't have a choice. About a week ago Hunter called me to headquarters on our day off saying he wanted to talk to me. At first I was hesitant to go but then he called me the next day and told me I didn't have a choice that he wanted to talk to me."

Seth moved his fingers across Romans body until his hands were resting in the middle of Roman's back. Roman winced again and he can see the guilt in Seth's face.

"I got there and Hunter was waiting for me in his office he tells me to close the door and take a seat so I do. That is when he tells me that they have chosen me to be the next champion. I tell him I don't want to and that I love our story line they way it is."

"So you sold us out for gold?"

Roman felt his heart start beating rapidly in his chest as his mind tried to wrap around the information. Seth kissed his shoulder as his fingertips begin to lightly massage Roman's back. Roman tried to stop him but it did no good he felt weak and really didn't want to fight against the massage that helped to soothe his sore muscles. Roman closed his eyes as his whole body started to relax into Seth's touch. He always had been able to relax when Seth touched him the younger man just had that effect on him.

"No Ro no you know me better than that. I didn't have a choice Hunter told me if I didn't go along with their plans to make me face of the company that he would fire you and Dean. Then he preceded to tell me that not only would he fire you he would make sure neither you or Dean would wrestle again. I didn't know what to do Roman I can't be the reason you guys lose your dreams."

Roman felt sick he also was feeling angry at the fact that Hunter had tried to pull this crap. He knew that the Authority hadn't liked them it was clear from their first day on Raw. It was obvious that the shield had rubbed them the wrong way but never in a million years would he think they would try this. Poor Seth he felt terrible for thinking horrible thoughts about the man he loved when it turned out he was just a pawn in their game. Roman grabbed Seth's chin and forced the smaller man to look up at him dark eyes meeting his and he can feel his insides turning to jelly. He swallowed before he spoke not yet sure what would come from his own mouth.

"Seth I forgive you."

"Dean won't."

"Let's worry about that tomorrow."

"Ro?"

Before Roman can ask Seth is crashing his soft lips against his. Roman lets out a soft moan and Seth uses it as a chance to shove his tongue past Roman's lips and deep into his mouth. Their tongues dance together as Seth takes control of the kiss. His hands begin to softly run along Roman's body a trail of heat left behind. When Seth finally breaks the kiss to get some air Roman looks down at the slightly shorter man his lips are swollen from the kiss and his eyes are dark with want. Roman can feel his dick twitching to life at the beautiful sight. Seth starts to attack his lips again sucking Roman's bottom lips into his mouth as his tongue swiped across it. Roman moans into the kiss as his cock comes to life and rubs against Seth's thigh. The smaller man lets out a moan at the arousel he has caused Roman. Seth breaks the kiss so that he can kiss down Roman's neck leaving a trail of fire every place his lips touch. He starts to get aggressive with his kiss until it becomes little nips that leave love marks. Seth bites Roman's shoulder a little harder causing the bigger man to growl and his own hands start to massage Seth's round ass cheeks. Seth responds by biting Roman's shoulder again before kissing down to the dark nipple. He flicks his tongue over it causing a shiver to run along Roman's spine. Seth smiles before flicking the nipple again. Roman gives Seth ass cheek a deafening slap. Seth pulls Romans nipple into his mouth working it until the digit is hard then he lets go . Seth's fingertips ghost over Roman's nipple causing it to harden at his touch as his mouth continues to leave a hot trail of kisses down Roman's body. Seth drops to his knees as he wraps his hand around the shaft He leans forward and runs his tongue along the slit of the head causing Roman to beg with a shaky voice.

"Please."

Seth is happy to oblige as water drips down on them wetting Seth's hair as he begins to work his mouth. Roman moans at the heat as Seth sucks at the head. Roman's hands manage to find their way into the smaller man's locks that are now drenched his fingers intertwine with the curls. He involuntarily bucks his hips forward causing Seth to gag a little on his girth. However Seth adjust and is able to take the rest of Roman in his mouth. He starts off slow until he feels the anticipation from the other man. Roman bucks up again this time on purpose Seth starts to suck faster the sight sending Roman into an orgasmic spiral. He can feel the heat growing in his belly and he tightens as Seth moves a hand up to rub him. Roman quickly pulls out of Seth's mouth which earns him a disappointed groan. Roman bends over and helps Seth up off the cold tile floor before Seth can make a move he feels himself being lifted by two strong arms and he pushed up against the tile wall. Seth wraps his arms around Roman neck as he feels the Roman rub against his pucker. Seth captures Roman's lips in a searing kiss as he feels the head push past the tight ring of muscle into his heat. He moans into the kiss as he feels Roman continue to push until he is all the way inside. He feels full like he is going be to ripped apart by the girth of his lover so he breaks the kiss to groan but he knows the pain will subside and turn into pleasure. He buries his head into Roman's shoulder as a smile crosses his lips the bigger man is always taking care of him. He can feel his lover's lips next to his ear.

"Are you okay?"

He shakes his head.

"Move."

He feels the bigger man pull almost all the way out before pushing back in he lets out a low throaty moan as his sensitive spot gets brushed against.

"God Ro again."

Roman pulls out again this time slamming into him hitting the nerve again. The big man starts to quicken the pace as he rocks deeper into Seth. He slams his hips down trying to match the pace of Roman bucking up into him.

"You're so fucking tight Seth. So fucking good."

"Harder Ro."

Roman begins to buck his hips up harder pushing Seth's back up the tile. Seth bites onto Roman's shoulder as he takes a hand and wraps it around the shaft. His hand begins to pump in time with Romans thrust and he starts to see stars around the room at the constant assault against his prostate. He rubs his thumb along the head and he can feel his release approaching.

"Fuck Roman."

Roman already knows his needs as he whispers into Seth's ear.

"Cum for me baby."

Seth's hand is pumping erratically as Roman is bouncing Seth hard on his dick. His eyes roll into the back of his head as his cock throbs in his hand before his cum spurts out landing on his hand and between their stomachs. Before Seth can even get the words out he feels Roman thrust a final time . His head falls forward against Seth's neck as his breathing starts to slow down. Roman slowly pulls out before setting Seth back down on the floor. They look into each other's eyes before sharing a slow passionate kiss. Then Seth begins to clean them off before Dean makes his way back and catches them. Roman knows things will be okay it is just convincing Dean. Roman turns the water off and they both make their way out of the stall. Roman watches as Seth gets dressed, pulling on his own clothes. Tomorrow he is going to hurt like hell but at least he still has his love by his side and that makes anything feel better.
