CH 3: Present Day

A/N I OWN NONE OF THE CHARACTERS EXCEPT THE HEAD LADY OF THE GROUP HOUSE

Tugging on Dean's arm, Roman and Dean walked over to where the lonely boy was curled up in the far corner of the large gathering room. Crouching down to him, Roman was the first to speak "I'm Roman and this scruf is my younger brother Dean. What's your name?" "Seth." Was the only response the two brothers got. Both Dean and Roman could see the boy shaking and his eyes kept looking around. He wouldn't look either boy in the eyes, like he was scared. The brothers took in Seth's appearance. He had shoulder length hair, 3/4 of it was black and the other 1/4 was blonde. Roman being the oldest pushed Seth's head up to look him in the face. Trying to look down, Roman said "Look at me. No one is going to hurt you. You can stick with us. Do you have a place to sleep?" Seth shook his head no. "They told me that there was no room left for me." Roman placed his arm around Seth's neck and together they followed Dean back to where they slept.

After a week, both Dean and Roman got Seth to open up to them. "Seth, how did you end up here?" "My mom and dad said that I wasn't what they wanted. They hated me and blamed me, saying it was all my fault. They said they could no longer take care of a mistake, and so they dropped me off here and never looked back. " Seth was looking down at the ground. Dean who stayed beside Roman moved to sit by Seth. Once Seth told them how he ended up there, Dean and Roman shared why they ended up here.

Several months passing, the three boys have really warmed up to each other. Roman was shocked how quick Dean took a liking to Seth. Dean didn't have any friends, never talked to anyone, except Roman. Seth brought something out in Dean and in return, Dean brought something out in Seth. Roman only wished Seth would have been here three years earlier.
