Roman's head rested on top of Dean's belly with his right arm delicately gripping Dean's waist area that were exposing the Ohioan's carved hip dents. Dean's left hand rested on top of Roman's hair while the other lay on top of his own forehead trying to stop the sunrays that were peeking through the windows from falling all over his face.

Seth watched his team mates sleep in this awfully comfy and cozy position with half lidded eyes. He vigorously rubbed at his eyes to get even a better clear vision.

Surprise wasn't the first emotion that he felt upon watching his mates. He was actually quite annoyed at the scene. It was expected since Seth was a known brat and a very demanding person so he always felt the need to be pampered and to be the apple of everyone's eye.

And, here waking up and watching his two best friends as well bed partners totally neglecting him while they slept peacefully made him more than jealous.

He felt like waking the duo up but he was aware that Roman had a bad temper when it came to people disturbing him in his sleep. And, it was kinda early for them to drive to new town so he couldn't even use that excuse to wake him up.

After a minute had passed Seth got pissed staring at them, so he quickly made his way over to the bathroom.

Roman's face twitched over sunrays now shining bright in entire room, and his eyes instantly crept open. It only took him a moment to realize in what position he'd slept in last night. As much as it was right for him to move straightaway from Dean's body yet he still felt an urging need to hold on to Dean's bare thin waist even tighter.

His mind was now flooding with various dirty thoughts as he kinda felt tempted to place soft and subtle kisses over that amazingly thin waist line and hip dents. He almost did it but then suddenly Dean squirmed a bit in his sleep, and Roman immediately looked up at him. His eyes now got locked on to that beautiful sleeping face which lay just a foot length away from him.

Roman slowly moved up trying not to wake Dean from his sleep as he quietly stared down at that pretty peaceful face. He softly caressed Dean's right cheek with the back of his hand before he brushed away the unruly fringes that were falling all over Dean's beautiful face.

He sighed hard before he whispered softly in Dean's ear.

"Wake up, Dean." His voice was still heavy from sleep so he moved his mouth even closer to Dean's ear with his lips softly pressed against it. "Come on. Please get up, my man."

Dean's eyes shot open on those words. He looked up, and he instantly noticed Roman's bright grey eyes looking down at him.

Roman's gorgeous hair was open and ghosting over Dean's face. His soft cloudy grey eyes were boring on to him while his fingers were softly brushing at his cheeks. Dean felt like he was caught up in a beautiful web of the hottest and most amazing man in wwe.

The way Roman looked at him with such intensity and passion just scared Dean. He felt like saying something but his throat went dry.

"Uh...Ro." He tried to speak in his ever so soft voice. "Could you move a bit? I can't breathe."

Roman immediately realized that he was hovering over Dean and probably making the man uncomfortable.

"Oh! Sorry bout that." He moved away from Dean's face to sit up in bed.

"It's alright!"

Dean noticed how his words didn't affect his older team mate as he seemed kinda lost in the moment.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked while getting up to sit next to him. "Ro?" He placed his right hand on his shoulder.

"I'm fine." Roman answered softly trying not to look at him. He was a bit disappointed that he didn't get the same warm emotion in return from Dean that he felt for him. "Seth's in shower I guess. I'm gonna order the breakfast."

"Wait." Dean tightened his grip on Roman's shoulder while his other hand moved to cup his face forcing him to turn towards him. "How come you woke up earlier than me?"

"I don't know."

"I don't mind you watching me sleep ya know."

"I wasn't watching. I was just uhhh..."

"It's okay. As a matter of fact I didn't mind you snuggling with me last night too."

"I didn't snuggle."

"Yes, you did."

"I didn't."

Roman felt embarrassed how Dean's naughty eyes were looking at him. He did snuggle and he did watch Dean sleep yet he didn't felt like being told about it out loud.

"Okay, fine I did. You can laugh at me."

Dean noticed Roman's sad face. "I'm not gonna laugh at you. Relax."

"So, now what?"

"Now, uh..."

Involuntarily Dean moved closer to Roman's face. Their noses touching each other, and now they could feel each other's breath washing over their faces. Both of them kept their staring game on while their lips moved to stay only an inch apart from one another.

Roman's stomach churned with the thought of kissing Dean. He thanked his lucky stars for this beautiful morning that here just two night ago he went out for beers with Dean for the first time, and now he was about to kiss him. He felt even happier that Dean made the first move as this confirmed it for him that there was definitely something that the Ohioan felt for him.

Roman interlaced his hands with Dean's that was clutching the bed sheet, and he licked his lips in sheer delight to show that he was just as much into this as him.

Dean could see the glowing expression on Roman's face, and it just exploded his mind with various feelings. He'd dreamt about kissing the Samoan man for about a year now but somehow giving in to him never felt the right option. Also, they were a triplet squad and the only time they were close like this when it involved Seth.

But, even during those times they never kissed nor touched each other.

So, now it felt kinda weird that all of a sudden the Ohioan's urges were controlling him as well as pushing him to finally kiss the man that he'd lusted for so long.

Roman gripped at their interlaced hands even tighter as he slowly closed his eyes. He could feel Dean's breath getting deeper and deeper and his lips approaching to ultimately close in on him. Dean didn't close his eyes, not just yet as he loved staring at those perfect fully padded lips. He held his breath and decided to seal their lips together in a sweet kiss.

"Dean, you can take shower..." Seth had now entered the room, and both Dean and Roman quickly pulled away from each other. Seth noticed the shifting but since he was busy drying his hair with the towel he didn't quite see as to what was about to happen.

Yet, he didn't miss their interlocked hands.

"What's going on?" He questioned in his annoyed tone.

Dean looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that." He pointed at their conjoined hands.

"Oh! This." Roman didn't care if Seth was about to know that he had a crush on Dean so he thought of explaining everything to him. "I and Dean..."

"Were just talking." Dean interrupted him in the middle and framed the false answer. A part of Dean didn't felt like giving away anything that he had with Roman to anyone and that included his team mate as well. "Nothing much."

Roman looked dumbfounded over Dean's answer, and even Seth didn't look convinced at all.

Why has Dean to hide our thing from Seth? Does he feel differently about me? Am I special to him? Roman giggled over these thoughts.

"What are you laughing at?" Seth broke Roman's vivid train of thoughts. "First you push me on your side of the bed last night, and then you cuddle with Dean. And now you two are holding hands. Ugh, what the fuck is happening?"

"Excuse me." Now, Roman was annoyed. "I didn't push you anywhere princess." He could see Seth gritting his teeth. "When I returned from beers last night you were the one who was sleeping on ma side of bed. And, as for cuddling thing please gimme a break."

"Okay, I'll stop." Seth instantly moved to straddle Roman's lap trying to calm his anger down. "I'm not gonna question you anymore Romie. But, I only slept on your side because I was missing you." He quickly sealed their lips together, and Roman almost didn't return the kiss back as his mind was still too caught up on Dean.

He pulled out of kiss quickly only to notice Dean shutting the bathroom door behind.


"Hey, uce you look lost."

"I guess I'm lost."

"What happened?"

Roman sighed hard over Jey's question, and looked around the catering hall to check that no one was listening. "Dean tried to kiss me."

"Yes!" Jey smiled and banged his fist on Roman's shoulder. "Uh, what do you mean by tried?"

"The moment he was about to do it. Uh, Seth interrupted us."

"Lord, that little fucker."

"Don't be rude Jey. He's my friend."

"Yeah, yeah I know."

Actually Roman's family wasn't much fond of Seth as much as they were of Dean. Simply because Seth never gave any importance to them nor did he try to get to know them better.

"Cheer up uce." Jey patted his back. "I'm sure you'll get another chance with Dean."

"I hope so."

"You spoke to him bout his birthday this weekend or not?"

"Shit, I totally forgot about that."

"Forgot what?" Dean had now joined them on their table sitting opposite to them. "I got chicken sandwiches and coffee for you guys."

"Lord, you're da man!" Jey bumped his fist with Dean before taking his sandwich and coffee. "Uce, you're my true brother."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Roman rolled his eyes at Jey as he looked at his Starbucks coffee. It was his favorite flavor. "Thanks Dean. This is nice."

"It's alright."

Jey gestured at Roman to speak to Dean bout his birthday. "So, uh..Dean. You remember my cousin Monica who's your biggest fan?"

"Of course I do. She's a sweetheart."

"Yup. She's been planning for your birthday since last month. And, we're throwing a party for you."

"Oh, please no." Dean panicked. "I've never had a birthday party before."

"We know that but come on Uce." Jey encouraged him. "It's just me, Jimmy, Ro, Monica and your sister Denise."

"What? My sister! But, she's gotta college to attend."

"I know, and that's why I didn't force her." Roman tried to calm him down. "I just told her about the party, and she wanted to come. So, I invited her."

"I didn't know you two spoke to each other."

Dean's statement made Roman laugh a bit. "Actually since the time when I first met her at this year's wrestlemania weekend we've been texting quite often. She's my lovely friend."

"That's some great news. Damn, I wish I knew how to text someone."

"You can but you're just too lazy."

"Maybe I can text you sometime."

"You must." Roman and Dean smiled at each other on that, and Jey coughed hard to break their intense yet mischievous stare.

"Don't you guys have a match to prepare for?"

Both the guys simply nodded at Jey's words without taking their eyes off each other.


Not much things passed Seth's manipulative eyes so definitely he didn't miss the way his team mates kept stealing glances at one another or took every chance to just touch each other. Either Dean would go and pat Roman's back which would soon turn into him caressing it or Roman would grab Dean's arm only to stroke it a second later.

What the hell was going on? Seth thought.

For over a year Seth had enjoyed the luxury of having the attention of both of his boys especially Roman since Dean being the moody one never really gave into his demands. But, Roman had treated the youngest member of the shield with so much love and care that Seth had somewhat become addicted to him despite currently dating wwe diva Kaitlyn.

Seth felt uneasy watching his team mates not giving him the usual attention, and in that moment he devised a plan.

A plan comprised of inappropriate sexual activities which would surely force his men's attention to be back on him. Seth's pleasuring and submissive skills were infamous, and it was the major key that held both of his two doms/team mates to be locked on to him.

"So, I'm still wondering as to how Monica got the courage to even plan this birthday party for me." Dean stroked Roman's long, wet, luscious black mane. "I know she's too shy to even have any conversation with me. So, this birthday thing is kinda unbelievable."

"Actually Dean..." Roman paused to just soak into Dean's fingers brushing in his hair. It was so calming as well as it made him giddy on inside since he was aware of the fact that the US champ had a thing for his gorgeous hair. "I gotta confess something."

"What?" Dean momentarily stopped caressing his hair to unwrap his protein chocolate bar. He took a bite, and then again went to stroke Ro's hair. "Come on tell me."

Roman looked at Dean before he turned his head sideways to come even closer to Dean's face to whisper right in his ear. "I and Monica planned it together. It was originally my plan."

Dean's eyes widened on that, and he instantly moved to look at Roman and accidentally their noses bumped for a second. "Wait, why?"

His strangled breath could be felt by Roman over his face. "Because... I wanted to. And, you deserve this."

Dean's lips formed into a beautiful smile that showed his cute dimples, and he didn't know what to say to this sexy yet awesome Samoan man anymore. "Take a bite." He simply placed his chocolate bar in front of Ro's mouth hinting him to share it with him.

Roman smiled before he grabbed at Dean's wrist and closed his mouth on the chocolate bar in full on showing off mode as if that bar was some kinda thick dick. He flicked his tongue over it before he sucked on it lightly and took a hard bite on it. His lips inadvertently for a second brushed over Dean's fingers, and the US champ could feel the effect that this little act of Roman was having on him.

Dean smirked at Roman, and the Samoan man naughtily winked at him.

Both of them were surely enjoying these new budding feelings of theirs. It was weird that it felt so natural to them.

Dean noticed the small trace of chocolate over Roman's upper lip, and he used his thumb to brush it off softly. Roman smiled at him with those haunting grey eyes that just screamed that he needed some more of this.

These cute little games between them were only bringing the suppressed feelings from their hearts to take full control. Yet none of them were aware that their youngest team mate wasn't too happy to see this.

Seth watched this entire thing fold right in front of his eyes, and it heated his brain as he couldn't believe this. He was unable to understand this weird friendship or whatever was being played out in front of him.

As for over a year he was in a notion that these guys hated each other, and to some extent Seth had enjoyed this because that made him the connecting link or the center of the attraction of the shield.

But, now it looked like things were about to change, and he didn't like this one bit.

He watched his boys with hawk like eyes who were laughing heartily over something that he wasn't able to hear since he stood almost ten feet away from them, but now he'd made it his mission to find about this strange connection.

First he'd torture them by seducing the fuck out of them, and then later he'd break down the whereabouts of this strange friendship.

Only Seth wasn't aware of the fact that both Dean and Roman always had a thing for each other, and that they'd chosen to ignore their feelings for so long because of their insecurities.

Yet, it didn't look like Seth would care much since he'd gone into one of his classic possessive mode.
