Dean Ambrose was on the verge of tears. Almost everything went downhill once he had arrived in Davenport. The apartment he rented was already hired out due to a mistake, so he had no place to actually sleep right now. After some arguing he at least was able to get his rental bond back. But it still didn't solve his housing problem. If that wasn't already bad enough his damn car decided that it was now the time to refuse working, so he ended up in an autoshop, where he spent almost the entire afternoon instead of getting ready for his first day of class at the Black and Brave wrestling academy. Luckily the mechanic seemed to have a thing for Dean so his car got fixed as soon as possible. And on top of that all he had to deal with his dog, Moxley, who choose to act like a lunatic today.
That's when a distraught Dean spotted a cozy little coffee shop near the wrestling academy and spontaneous decided to just take a break and get some food and rest before his class started. He knew he looked like shit and thinking about meeting Seth Rollins just like that brought tears to his eyes, but he wasn't ready to give up on his dream just yet. If it wasn't for his looks, then he had to convince Seth of his qualities by impressing him with a great work out tonight. Fuck his looks. Exactly fuck his looks. Seth was going to notice him no matter what.
„Hey sweetie, what can i do for you? You look like you need something strong." The barista greeted him „And it's a good thing we aren't that packed today, because usually no animals are allowed, but as long as this little fella here behaves i guess the boss wouldn't mind this." Dean looked up at her. „Thanks. You have no idea what a nightmare of a day me had. Today should have been the best day of my life instead everything just went wrong. I'm so sick of it." Dean told the barista while he placed his order. He usually didn't talk to strangers about personal stuff at all, but today he just needed more than a dog to listen to him.
Looking up from his laptop Seth saw a sad looking guy wearing a beanie and a leather jacket enter his coffee shop. Along with him was a feisty, cute little dog that obviously adored his master. Something about the lost look on that man's face made Seth want to get up and reach out to him trying to help, but he didn't have the time for that right now. He already was running late and had to get prepared for his and his partner's Marek next class of wrestling students. So he just nodded at the barista, who pointed at the dog as he averted his attention back to his laptop and the training schedule he had planned for his new students based on their different experience levels and away from the sad looking guy. He sighed as he took a sip of his coffee. Damn was this coffee good. Opening this coffee shop had been one of his best ideas ever. No better place than this one if you needed to calm down from a stressful day at work or just needed a place to relax. And business was going well. So much for all the doubters who told him it would be insane to open a coffee shop in Davenport while running a wrestling school at the same time. Look who is laughing now he thought to himself as a sudden loud noise erupted the coffee shop.
The tiny dog of the sad looking guy tear away from where the guy tied its leash and was causing havoc in his coffee shop now. Chairs fell to the floor, the dog owner was cursing and swearing loudly as his coffee hit the floor while he was chasing after his out of control dog. The scene taking place looked hysterical, but Seth didn't even notice that, because he was absolutely mesmerised by the guy chasing after his dog and now he got the chance to take a closer look at him. Seth was mesmerised by the guys physique and body. Seth bluntly just gawked. Gone was the leather jacket and replaced by a simple white t-shirt that looked great on his seemingly well trained body. The auburn hair prior hidden under a beanie was disheveled and all over the place, but the only thing that crossed Seth mind was how stroking through that wild auburn hair would feel like. Seth blinked, while being absolutely shocked by his thoughts. However he didn't have any time to process this, because reality hit Seth in form of a tiny dog that made its way into Seth direction and without even thinking about it Seth started to come to his coffee shop rescue.
„Well hi there you little troublemaker. Nice to meet you." Seth heart melted at the sight in front of him. There was this tiny little dog jumping up and down on his leg trying to get his attention. One half of the dogs head was covered in white fur, while the remaining fur was brown. It looked adorable as hell and Seth couldn't help himself he crouched down and took the little dog into his arms. Once the dog made it into Seth arms he immediately was greeted by a warm and wet tongue. „Easy there little guy. Shhh. You are a wild one aren't you?" A loud bark followed by another lick on Seth face. Seth had to laugh about this tiny dogs antics.
„Really Mox? After everything i went through today you just had to..." Dean stilled and stopped dead in his tracks, his heart doing somersaults once he heard that laugh. He would recognize that laugh everywhere. It was him. Seth Rollins. The one man he dreamed of for so long to finally meet. Now here he was, holding his lunatic dog in his arms laughing that laughter that made Dean's knee weak and looking absolutely breathtaking. Dean was about to faint.
„Oh. Ehem hey. I I-i'm sooo sorry, my dog just lost it today, i-i guess." Dean stuttered trying to act as cool as he could but failing miserably once Seth Rollins brown eyes met his blue ones. The moment their eyes locked, time seemed to stand still and both men stared at each other in shock once the electricity hit themthem hard and jolted through both of their bodies. The feeling was so intense that Seth really had a hard time trying to regain his composure. What the hell did just happen here? „Hi." Seth cleared his throat ."I'm Seth. I guess this little troublemaker here belongs to you?" He was reaching out his hand to greet Dean as the next shockwave of electricity hit them, the moment Dean's hand touched his. „I know. Shit i'm making no sense. Well ehem hi i am Dean. And this is Moxley. And we are sorry to bother you." Dean mumbled, a shy smile on his blushed face as he glanced up and their eyes met once again. Seth however was completely taken aback by Dean. That cute guy in front of him made him feel weird and giddy. Was he having butterflies in his stomach all of a sudden? And since when did he find guys cute? And whatwas he thinking about here? Wait what was this Dean talking about? Shit he didn't rememberexactly. He better improvise and he better be quick.
„Nah don't worry man. It's okay. And don't worry about this little chaos here. I own two dogs by myself." Seth tried to calm Dean down.
„Damn the owner is going to kill me. Look at all this chaos here. Serves me right after the day i was having." Dean sighed in defeat.
Seth eyes suddenly sparkled in mischief. „Nope. That's not gonna happen Dean. This place is mine. I own it." He proudly grinned.
„You own a coffee shop as well? Wow. That is awesome." Dean was truly impressed and looked absolutely adorable standing there with his wild hair and mouth agape. Seth had to chuckle at the sight in front of him.
„Yes i do. And the next coffee is on the house. I'm sorry. I would love nothing more than to chat with you for awhile, but i have another business to run a couple of blocks away." Seth told Dean while he was still holding Moxley in his arms, caressing his head. Dean meanwhile was shouting daggers at his dog, secretly wishing that it was him Seth was caressing and not his dog.
Noticing the sudden change of mood in the air Seth wondered what was going on in Dean's mind. „Dean?"
„Yeah well about that other business. I-i ehm i know, because i happen to be one of your new students. And i-i hate that we met like this." Dean mumbled embarrassed and Seth was having a hard time to understand what he was talking about. But the way Dean's shyness affected him was becoming worryingly.
„You mean meeting me surrounded by absolute chaos isn't worth a story to tell?" Seth laughed and Dean's heart was melting again at the cute sound of that laughter. He didn't know what to do he was falling hard for Seth Rollins and they haven't even talked for barely five minutes.
„No i mean yes, but i didn't want you to think of me as this fool who couldn't even take care of his dog and this guy wants to become a wrestler and and..." Dean rambled.
Seth put one hand onto Dean's shoulder. „Hey look at me." Dean looked at him and Seth lost himself in those shining blue eyes once again. „Who am i to judge you? We don't even know each other for what? Five minutes? And i already can see a caring man who would go through hell for this little troublemaker here. And don't think i haven't noticed that you must have been working out a lot to be in that damn good shape. I cannot wait to find out what you can do in the ring, alright?" Seth told an absolutely stunned Dean.
„So you noticed?" Dean broadly smiled while comprehensing Seth words. Seth simply nodded and Dean fought the urge to just hug the man standing in front of him with his dog in his arms. Was this even real?
„Thank you."
„No need to thank me. So see you later Dean." Seth put Moxley back down on the floor, taking his laptop and was about to leave as he stopped once more. „You can bring him with ya. It's already late and you wouldn't want to disappoint me by showing up late to your first class now would you?" Seth grinned at Dean.
„Of course not, coach. Ehem thank you. And thanks for the coffee." Dean beamed and Seth was taken aback once again by how this man already affected him. Tonight should be very interesting.
„Then see you soon and you too little guy." He stroked Moxley one final time before he left the coffee shop.
„The boss likes you." The barista told Dean once Seth was gone.
„You think?" Dean asked again because he needed to know. „Yes believe me he likes you." The barista reassured Dean. „Good, because i think i like him too."
