"Seth! Stop messing with the fucking air con" Dean growled, slapping his friend's hand away from the controls.
"Shh" Seth replied, pressing a finger to his lips.
"I know, I know, Abbie's asleep" Dean clarified.
"It's not Abbie I'm worried about waking" Seth laughed. Dean looked in the rear view mirror and flinched.
"Shit...yeah, don't wake Roman. I don't want to get gut-punched" Dean mumbled.
"That was pretty funny" Seth teased.
"For you maybe" Dean replied, absent-mindedly rubbing his stomach.
They knew never to wake Roman when he fell into a deep sleep. Not a morning person was the understatement of the century when talking about the big Samoan.
"He looks kind of harmless like that" Seth sniggered. Dean had to contain a snort when he took another look in the mirror. Abbie was sleeping against the window, her legs stretched out across the back seat. Roman's head lolled against the back of the seat, Abbie's legs across his lap. His heavy breathing resonated around the car.
"He misses his fiancée huh?" Seth mused.
"Seems like it. He's been in a bad mood since last week" Dean sighed.
"I feel bad for him. It must be hard to be around us when we both have our girls on the road" Seth frowned.
"I never really thought about it"
"Especially when he's missing some important things in his daughter's life" Seth whispered.
"Maybe we should do something to cheer him up?" Dean suggested.
"Aww. I knew there was a heart of gold in there" Seth prodded Dean's chest.
"Shut up" he laughed.
"How about we take him to that sushi bar he loves? And then we can skype Lina so he can talk to her"
"Sounds like a good idea" Dean agreed. "We won't get there for another hour so get some sleep"
"Are you sure you don't want me to take over driving? You haven't slept all night"
"Nah I'm fine" he assured the younger man who thanked him, turning onto his side and curling up in the dark car.
An hour later, Dean pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. Seth was a light sleeper and raised his head when the engine died, rubbing his eyes.
"We're here sleeping beauty" Dean teased, unbuckling his seatbelt.
"Abbie..." Seth whispered, squeezing her knee gently to wake her. She opened her eyes and blinked slowly.
"Where are we?" she asked.
"We're at that sushi place Roman likes. Dean thought he needed some cheering up"
"Aww that's sweet" she smiled.
"Just putting it out there, I'm not waking him up" Dean laughed.
"Me either" Seth called.
"No fair" Abbie pouted playfully.
"He called it Ab, sorry but you gotta do it" Dean winked.
"You're gonna let her get punched in the face?" Seth asked, amused.
"She'll be fine" Dean waved him off, watching as she gingerly leaned into the big man and tapped him on the shoulder. Seth closed one eye, afraid to watch as Roman stirred.
Abbie watched him stretch out his back and yawn before fixing her with a smile.
"Oh I see how it is, you're just a moody bastard with us when you wake up? But Abbie gets a mega-watt smile?" Dean laughed.
"How can you not smile at such a sweet face?" Roman teased, pinching Abbie's cheek. "Where are we anyway?" he asked tiredly.
"Where else?" Seth asked, stepping aside so Roman could see the building.
Abbie smiled widely at the look on Roman's face.
"Thanks guys" he smiled.
"No problem, we just thought you needed a treat" Dean and Seth agreed.
Sat inside the restaurant, Dean grabbed Seth's iPad and pulled up Skype. Seth had already texted Roman's fiancée to ask if she was available and she'd agreed, excited at the chance to see him. When Roman headed to the bathroom, Dean called.
"Hey Dean" she smiled, her face popping up on the screen.
"Hey Lina, how's it going?" he asked.
"Good. Thanks for doing this by the way, I thought he seemed a bit low when he texted me yesterday"
"Hey Lina!" Seth smiled, sticking his face in front of the camera.
"Sethie" she laughed.
They all grinned brightly when the little girl ran into frame.
"Hiya" she waved.
"Hey princess" Dean smiled.
"That's a pretty dress" Seth complimented her.
"Can I see my daddy?" she asked.
"Of course sweetheart, here he is now" Dean announced, moving aside so Roman could see the screen.
His face lit up at the sight of his beautiful fiancée and his pride and joy. He wasn't the only one who'd missed them, because his daughter burst into tears upon seeing his face.
Dean, Seth and Abbie moved aside to give them a moment and Abbie found herself tearing up at the emotional scene.
"You guys are good friends" she said, taking their hands.
The mood was ten times more upbeat as they drove the final half hour to the hotel.
"Can you feel my heart?" Seth sang at full volume. The Bring Me The Horizon song was his favourite at the moment.
"I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone. I long for that feeling to not feel at all" Abbie joined.
"The higher I get, the lower I'll sink" Dean eventually joined.
"I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim!" Roman laughed as Dean and Seth head-banged to the breakdown in the front of the car. "Thanks for today guys. I love you" he added.
"We love you too brother" Seth grinned.
