Dean watched quietly through the window as his mom pulled up by the school.
"Here's your stop, hunny."
Dean nodded and picked up his bag.
His mother noticed he had a frown on his face. "What's wrong, baby?" Arial had a look of concern on her face.
No matter how much Dean tried to hide his emotions. His mother would always see through him. He has spent his entire life with her and only her, of course she understood him.
"It's just Ro isn't coming to school today..." It wasn't a lie. Roman wasn't going to school, but that maybe wasn't the whole reason he was upset.
Arial eyed her son suspiciously. "This doesn't have anything to do with that party you went to during the weekend, does it?"
Dean shook his head. "No, no it doesn't." That was the truth. Roman was just sick. "Roman just has a fever, mom."
Arial nodded. She believed him. "Don't be upset hun. Don't you have Seth? He's a sweet boy."
Dean smiled at the mention of Seth. Boy does she have any idea how sweet he is. "Yeah, I have Seth and my other friends too."
"Okay sweetie, that's not a problem."
It's not a problem. He does have Seth and his other friends, but that isn't going to stop Romans douchebag buddies from annoying Dean since Roman isn't there. Usually they wouldn't make their stupid comments when Romans around. Especially Randy, now that he's seeking revenge.
"Alright hun, I gotta get to work and you need to get to school" Arial kissed her sons head and they said their 'I love you's'.
Dean exited the car and headed towards the school. While he was walking towards the main entrance, he spotted Seth exiting his car, well Romans car. They shared it. Dean sprinted towards him.
"Hey Seth!" Dean ran and hugged Seth.
"Woah! Hey Dean!" Seth nearly toppled over by the weight coming towards him. He put his arms around Deans waist, returning the hug as well as keeping them both from falling.
"You have to be my BFF for the day, since Roman isn't here, okay?"
Seth smiled. Dean was adorable. "Of course, Dean."
"Yay!" Dean said, excitedly. "We're gonna be besties, but we're already besties right?"
"Yeah, definitely." Seth agreed, although he wished they could be more than 'besties'. Seth kept trying to get those thoughts out of his head, but he couldn't. He couldn't help but wish he had something more with Dean.

Dean was placing his text book in his locker when he felt a presence behind him. He closed his locker and turned around to be met with Randy Orton standing right in front of him.
Dean rolled his eyes. "Move Randy." When Randy didn't budge, Dean moved for himself. What he didn't expect was for Randy to shove him into the locker. He winced. "What the fuck Randy?!" Dean pushed him with one hand, since the other one was on his lower back. Randy didn't even stumble.
Randy laughed. "Trying to defend yourself like last time when Roman wouldn't?" He teased, smiling at Deans expression change from anger to hurt. "Aw somebody upset? Well it's the truth." Randy mocked Dean from the last time.
Randy was trying to get into his head. Dean wasn't going to allow that. If someone was trying to hurt him, he won't go down without a fight. He wasn't responsible for the thing that exited his mouth. "Did Nikki send you?" Randy looked angry now. "Your just her little lap dog, fighting her battles." Dean continued, he knew he was getting on Randy's nerves and he didn't mind it at all. "...so much for a boyfriend huh?"
Dean knew he must've crossed the line when Randy pinned him against the locker. Dean cursed under his breath. What's the worst that Randy can do? They're in school. That's what the dirty blonde thought before Randy's hand wrapped around Deans neck. Deans eyes widened, he knew nobody was going to help him, they were already 10 minutes late to class, no one was in the hallway now. Randy wasn't squeezing though. He couldn't afford for Dean to be passed out in the hallway. Dean put his hand carefully on top of Randy's. He didn't want him to start squeezing. He knows of Randy's bad temper.
"Randy no-" Dean was cut off by Randy squeezing, just a little bit. Deans eyes widened. He was a little scared, but he could still breath, so he knew he had to remain calm. "Just let go Rand-"
Randy squeezed tighter. "Shut the fuck up. Nothing but trash comes out of that mouth." Randy said, ignoring Deans whimpers. "…a bitch with a bad attitude is all you are." Randy paused for a few, but then began once again. "Y'know when Roman told me he wanted you, I thought that's great. You'll be pretty damn good to fuck, but you just can't be a good little bitch when someone's talking to you." At that, Randy squeezed tighter once against watching Deans face contort. "…but you know…I bet in bed your a submissive slut." Randy chuckled and Deans face was bright red.
Randy eventually removed his hand from Deans throat. Dean coughed and panted. Randy blocked Deans way, by putting his hands on either side of the locker.
"Don't think I won't tell Roman about this." Dean threatened, still trying to breathe properly.
Randy laughed. "Go ahead. Who do you think he'll believe his best friend or his boyfriend that has an attitude problem?"
"How bout his brother?"
Dean and Randy turned their attention to the voice. It was Seth. Dean smiled softly. To him, Seth always kind of saved the day.
"Mind your own business, Rollins." Randy rolled his eyes. Seth was always ruining everything.
"I'll mind my own fucking business when you leave him alone." Seth fired back.
Randy rolled his eyes. "And what would happen if I said no?"
Seth smiled arrogantly. "We could see." Seth knew Randy was always looking for a fight. And he also knew that Randy wouldn't fight him. At least not now. Randy would want a whole crowd and a group to back him up. "…or I could just tell Roman what I saw. He would believe me. I am his brother after all."
Rage was written all over Randy's face and body. He removed removed his arms and Dean immediately ran to Seth.
"You're gonna pay for that mouth, Ambrose." Randy announced before walking away.
Seth and Dean watched him walk away until he was no longer visible. Seth then turned his attention to the dirty blonde.
"Hey are you okay?" Seth began touching Deans shoulders, back, until he reached his neck. There was red hand prints. They looked like they were fading.
"I'm fine, Seth, don't worry"
"He fucking choked you!" Seth couldn't believe what he saw. Randy must have serious problems if he tried to choke Dean. Just because Dean said some things that were technically nice doesn't mean he has to try and cut off his air circulation. That's not right.
"Don't tell Roman." Dean pleaded. Yes, he was gloating before when he told Randy he was going to tell Roman. Randy would probably beat the shit out of him if Roman told him off. And he didn't want to break up Randy and Romans friendship. Roman would think Dean was trying to sabotage them.
Seth looked baffled. No question about it, he had to tell Roman. Romans best friend pushed Dean against a locker and choked the hell out of him to the point of leaving marks. Seth might've not seen Randy choking Dean, but he saw him slam him against the locker and the marks on Deans throat.
"Dean, either me or you tell Roman or I'm beating the crap out of Randy." Seth said rather calmly.
Deans eyes widened. He didn't want Randy targeting Seth too. "Seeeethhhhh…" Dean whined. "What if Randy tries to hurt me again?" Dean hated sounding so vulnerable.
"As long as I'm here…and Roman" Seth quickly added. "…he won't lay a hand on you." And Seth would make sure of that.
Dean hesitantly nodded. "Thank you, Seth. I'll tell Ro, I promise."
Seth smiled softly. Dean was stubborn but he did eventually come through when he knows what's right. "You're welcome, Dean. Now c'mon let's get to class."
I
"C'mon Seth! Let's go the beach!" Dean didn't want go to lunch and have to deal with Randy.
"Dean, we can get in trouble for cutting class." Seth tried to reason with the overly excited boy. He knew Dean was quite a bit rebellious.
Dean pouted. "It's just lunch, dude. What the hell is there to skip? Gross school lunch? And douchebags?" He really didn't want to go to the cafeteria.
Seth looked like he was thinking about it. He didn't want Dean to run into Randy. "Alright fine, but only for a half an hour." What's the worst that can happen?
Dean stuck his tongue through his teeth. "Deal."
I
Seth had parked his car and Dean quickly exited it.
"C'mon let's go!" Dean screamed excitedly.
Seth chuckled and shook his head. He didn't even notice when Dean took his shoes off. He watched Dean lie down in the sand. Seth took off his shoes then walked up to wear he was, laying in the sand. The beach was practically empty. It was only them and few other people who weren't really near them.
They both looked up at the sky in silence, lost in their own thoughts
"Seth?"
"Yes Dean."
"Do you ever wonder what the hell your doing with your life?" Dean turned to face the two toned boy.
"Yeah actually." Seth turned to face him as well. "I wonder what I'm gonna be.…I still haven't figured out who I am."
Dean nodded his head in agreeance. "I feel lost, Seth."
"I know." Seth ran his fingers through Deans hair. "Me too…" He whispered.
They stayed like that for a while. Lying down together in the warm sand, listening to the waves of the ocean, and staring into each other's eyes.
If only they could remain like this, just the two of them…
I
"C'mon Seth!" Dean scream-whispered as he approached the schools entrance slowly. They didn't want to get caught cutting class. They'd probably get detention for weeks.
"I'm coming!"
"Hurry! The bell's about to ring!"
"Wait! Ugh…fuck…my shoe fell off!"
"See, I told you to put them on in the car!" Dean ran over to where Seth was and helped him put his shoe on quietly. As if it needed two people to put on one shoe.
Dean grabbed Seths hand. "Now c'mon!"
They made it past the main entrance when
"Boys! Where have you been?" A male with a British accent asked.
They both turned around slowly.
"Mr. Regal! Hi! How are you?" Dean exclaimed, feigning interest.
Seths eyes widened. Where the fuck was Dean going with this?
"I'm fine, my dear boy, so where have you two been?" Mr. Regal folded his hands behind his back. "I certainly hope not skipping class."
"Of course not!" Dean lied. "Seth here forgot his Algebra textbook in his car so we went to go get it. Right Seth?"
Seth looked at Dean in near disbelief. How could he sound so sincere? Seth was clearly amused. "Yes sir" Seth replied, he couldn't believe he was lying.
Of course they're lying, they're teenagers.
Mr. Regal didn't look impressed. "And may I ask why getting a textbook requires more than one person?"
Dean shrugged his shoulders. "What? I can't tag along with my bestie?"
Seth couldn't help but smile. Dean was still referring to him as his bestie in front of a teacher. Usually some peoples attitude would change when they're talking to authority, but Dean still had that same sassy, sarcastic, and smart ass attitude. And Seth absolutely loved that because he knew that's how real Dean was. He wouldn't change no matter who was talking to him.
Dean was shifting from left and right with a look of disinterest on his face. Seth was standing up straight as if he was being evaluated for the military.
"Very well boys." Mr. Regal said after a few short moments of silence. "Get to class."
Dean smiled. "Thank you sir" Dean and Seth were walking when Dean turned around once again to say "Oh and I love your tie, Mr. Regal!"
"Get to class, dear boy."
"Okay sir! Bye! See you last period!" Dean exclaimed then turned to Seth and whispered. "I kind of have a crush on him…shhh, don't tell Roman." Dean joked. Or at least Seth thought he was joking.
I
Dean and Seth got in Seths car. Dean was coming over since he wanted to check on his boyfriend.
About a fourth of the way through Dean exclaimed
"Seth! Aren't you hungry?!"
"Yeah I guess."
"We didn't have lunch, what do you mean you guess?"
"Fine, I am very hungry, Dean-o."
"There we go, let's get food!"
"We'll make an order for pick up, what do you want? Chinese food? We'll get Ro soup!
"Sure, sounds good."
After a couple of minutes of searching the phone number of the nearest Chinese restaurant. Dean was making his order, Seths, and Romans.
"Okay yes that's it..." Dean said on his end of the phone. "Oh no wait. Make sure to put a lot of fortune cookies…Yes, yep fortune cookies a lot of them…is it possible to put like a whole bowl of fortune cookies?.…Okay yay thank you ma'am. Oh and when will it be ready? 20 minutes, cool. Don't forget the fortune cookies. K bye."
Seth had to stifle his laughter the whole time. "What's your deal with fortune cookies?"
Dean shrugged his shoulders. "What? They're free, dude."
I
They got in the car after they went down to get the food. Dean offered to pay but Seth refused.
"Alright I'm gonna give you one and me one." Dean handed Seth and himself one fortune cookie. "Eat the cookie first, then we'll share our fortunes."
Seth couldn't hide his smile at how invested Dean was into this.
They munched on their cookies.
"Okay me first!" Dean hopped up and held the small paper in his hand. "It says 'Decisions will have to be made, you just have to make sure you have the right choices'" Dean tossed the paper to the side. "…'the fuck does that mean?…Whatever, go Seth."
"Alright." Seth breathed out. "Mine says 'Opening up and freeing your thoughts will create multiple opportunities'"
Dean pouted. "Well yours sounds way cooler than mine."
Seth shook his head and chuckled. "Let's go."
I
UDean and Seth made their way up to Romans room after they said their 'hellos' to Mrs. Reigns.
They knocked on the door.
A stuffy voice answered. "Come in!"
Dean ran over to his boyfriend, whom was covered in blankets. "Hi Romie!" Dean sat next to him on the bed, he kissed his boyfriend on the cheek. "I missed you"
"I missed you too babe." Romans voice wasn't as deep, since his nose was stuffy. "I wish you didn't have to see me like this."
"It's okay, you still look hot." Dean replied. "And not temperature wise." He quickly added, with a giggle.
Seth snickered in the corner.
After a few minutes of just talking Seth gave Dean a look. Dean shook his head and Seth nodded, Dean shook his head and Seth nodded, Dean shook his head and Seth nodded.
Dean finally gave Seth a submissive look. "Fine." He huffed out.
"Good"
"Uh Ro, I need to tell you something." Dean began picking at his nails.
"What's up, Dean?" Roman gave him a suspicious look.
"Um today Randy kind of tried to choke me out."
Romans eyes widened. "Are you serious?" Dean nodded. "Shit, are you okay?"
Dean nodded. "I'm fine, Ro."
"I'll have a talk with him, okay?" Roman rubbed Deans thigh, in a comforting manner, which wasn't really comforting. Half of Dean kind of wished Roman reacted different, maybe more protectively, not so calm.
"Oh me and Seth got you soup!" Dean jumped up after a few minutes, trying to change the subject. He motioned for Seth to come over.
Seth hesitantly came over, he didn't necessarily like watching Dean and Roman all lovey dovey. Call him selfish but it just didn't sit right with him.
"Come sit here, let's watch a movie." Dean suggested. He was always so fascinated with the huge television that Roman had in his room.
"Yeah sure." Roman turned on the TV with the control. "Grab a chair Seth."
Dean curled up next to Roman and they picked the movie together asking Seth to confirm if he agreed on it too. Seth agreed, but he wasn't really paying attention to what the movie was or was about. He just couldn't get his mind off how he wanted to be the one in Romans place with his arm wrapped around Dean.…
