A/N: So sorry for the long wait, guys. i have no excuse but i hope this new chapter makes up for it.


Seth was practically dreading coming home. He knew he had to tell Dean what he had found out. It was better that Dean find out from him rather than someone else. Not that their friends were cruel or anything. Seth just knew how to comfort Dean while giving him upsetting news. A sigh escaped him as he walked up the stairs of their apartment building. Dean had told him what he and Roman agreed upon the night they kissed but Seth just knew it would still affect his best friend.

"Roommate is here. Cut it out." Seth announced as he entered the apartment. Dean and Sami were on the couch, kissing heavily; which looked like they had been doing for quite a while.

Dean lightly blushed as he parted from Sami and leaned back against the couch. "Sorry Seth."

Dean's best friend gave him a small smile. There was a noticeable change in Dean since he had started seeing Sami. No doubt he was smiling more than ever before. He thanked Sami for that. All he wanted was for his best friend to be happy and Sami was giving him exactly that. Happiness Roman couldn't give him. Happiness that Seth didn't want to take away from him. Maybe he shouldn't tell him what he knows.

"I better go or else i'll be late for class. I'll call you later." Sami pecked Dean's lips and went to grab his things from Dean's room before leaving the apartment.

"What's going on?" Dean asked as he watched Seth sit on the couch next to him. He could tell something was on his mind.

"Nothing," Seth shook his head.

"You're lying. Tell me." Dean insisted and nudged Seth's shoulder.

"I found something out today. Wasn't sure if I should tell you but I also don't want you to find out in a bad way." Seth sighed.

"What is it?" Dean kept insisting. Seth had him really curious now.

"It's about Roman." Seth looked at his best friend and watched as he shifted uncomfortably and his face turned blank. Damn it. He hated this. "I found out from Jey that Roman is moving out of their house and getting his own place."

Dean nodded slowly. "Okay?" he said, not finding anything wrong with that.

Seth's face turned apologetic. "...with Finn."

Now that was bad. Dean swallowed hard. He tried to cover up the fact that this news was affecting him but Seth knew better. "That's umm, great."

"Dean..."

"I have to get ready for class." Dean stoop up rapidly and was making his way out of the living room.

"You don't have class today."

Dean stopped. He wasn't going to cry. It wasn't going to happen. He had Sami now and he shouldn't care what Roman was doing with Finn. Seth was kicking himself. He shouldn't have said anything. That smile he was sure Sami caused was now gone and Dean was possibly on the verge of losing it. "I'm okay." Dean tried to convince Seth. "He can do what he wants and I have no right to be upset, so I'm not. I'm fine okay." Dean rambled and went to his room.


"I feel like I call you this all the time but I'll repeat myself. You're an idiot." Jimmy says to Roman as he shakes his head. "Give me one good reason why moving in with Finn is a good idea."

"You guys are annoying?" Roman shrugged.

Jimmy narrowed his eyes. "You've lived with us for years and have never complained once. Until Finn said something. That's a bullshit reason. You're rushing this and you're rushing it because you want to convince yourself that you can move on from Dean. That's not the way to do it, man. You're moving too fast." Jimmy tried to reason. He knew his cousin better than he knew himself.

Roman rolled his eyes. "You're exaggerating. It's not like I'm marrying the guy. We're just moving in together. As roommates. This is not about Dean."

"The hell it isn't. Besides you and Finn are dating. It's more than just friends moving in and becoming roommates. I'm asking for you to reconsider your stupid decision."

"We already started looking for a place. There's nothing to reconsider." Roman stood up and went back inside the house from the back yard, ending the conversation.

Later on that day, Roman was alone in the house, looking for boxes that would certainly come in handy for the move when it came. He tried his best not to think about what Jimmy told him earlier in the day. It wasn't true. It had nothing to do with Dean. He really did feel like he could work this out with Finn. The Samoan headed to the front door when he heard the doorbell. He wondered who it could be. No one really came by during the week. His eyes widened when he opened the door and found Dean standing there. "Dean."

"Hi." Dean had no idea how he ended up there. He really didn't. He was on his way to the library on campus and somehow ended up in front of Roman's house...that would soon be his former home. Ever since Seth told him about Roman and Finn, he couldn't stop thinking about it, as much as he tried to push it out of his mind. Moving in together was a big step and Roman wouldn't be making that huge step if he didn't think he had a real future with the Irish man.

"Come in." Roman stepped aside, his eyes never leaving Dean's. He was very surprised to see him there. He had to know about his move with Finn. He looked upset no matter how hard he tried to hide it. Roman closed the door and walked with Dean to the living room. They sat on the couch, opposite sides of it. "What's up?"

Dean shrugged and looked around. "Nothing. I don't know why I'm here, to be honest. I was on my way to the library..." he trailed off.

"And you ended up here."

"Yup." Dean started tapping his foot nervously. "Heard about you and Finn. Moving in together...huh?"

"Yeah, we've umm, already started looking for a place."

"That's good. Happy for you."

"Are you really?"

"Yes. Why wouldn't I be?" Dean looked at him. Roman just shrugged.

"How are things with Sami?"

"Great. Every date is better than the last. We see each other practically everyday. He's been great."

"That's good to hear. You deserve the best."

As soon as Roman said that, they shared a look. A long look. Dean needed to leave. Lots of thoughts came to mind and he was ready to blurt them out all at once. He didn't want to. He shouldn't. "I should go." Dean stood up wiped the palms of his hands on his jeans. "Umm, I'll see you around." He started walking but didn't make it past Roman.

Roman grabbed Dean's wrist and slowly pulled him back on the couch to sit right next to him, their thighs touching. The Samoan turned his body towards Dean and leaned in so they were closer. "Why did you really come here Dean?" He searched his face.

Dean bit his lip and turned to look at Roman. Their faces were close; their lips a couple inches apart. Dean couldn't help himself. Roman's grey eyes were staring right back at his baby blue ones. He leaned in and kissed him, Roman immediately kissed him back. So much for their first kiss being their only kiss. Their lips smacked together as the slow kiss got deep and sensual. Tongues teased each other as the open mouth kisses got even deeper. A small moan escaped Dean as Roman grabbed his right thigh and swung him around so that Dean was straddling the bigger man. They stopped kissing for a brief moment, both of them panting. "We need to stop." Dean said breathlessly. Roman ignored him and went for his neck and nibbled on it as his hands held onto Dean's hips tightly. Dean couldn't help but moan more as he threw his head back and wrapped his arms around Roman's neck. "Roman...please."

Roman placed one more kiss to Dean's neck before pulling away. "I know you don't want me to move in with Finn."

"I didn't say that."

"You didn't have to say anything. You being on my lap right now kissing me tells me everything."

Dean climbed off of Roman and stood up. "We both agreed to move on Roman. I don't have the right to say anything. Just like you don't have the right to say anything if and when I take any steps in my relationship with Sami."

"But it's okay for you to come here and kiss me?" Roman shook his head and stood up, facing Dean again. "Seriously Dean..."

"I shouldn't have come here. I have to go." Once again he tried to get past Roman and once again, Roman stopped him by grabbing his arm.

"You coming here is the first sign."

"Sign of what?"

"That we won't be able to do this. Stay away from each other. Be faithful to Finn and Sami."

Dean shook his head. "We have to at least try. I won't look for you like I did this time. I'm sorry." Dean pulled his arm out of Roman's grip and walked out.

Roman sighed and collapsed on the couch. He was already missing Dean's lips on his.


4 Months later

Dean and Roman were able to keep their word and did not look for each other. Roman and Finn were finally able to find a place and settled in. They had people over to celebrate their moving in together. Jimmy and Jey attended even though they were not happy that Roman went through with the move. Seth was surprised when Dean had no problem going to the party. He congratulated Finn and Roman with no problem and stuck with Sami all night. Seth had no idea how strong Dean had become mentally and emotionally but he was glad. Dean and Sami were moving in the right direction in terms of their relationship and that was because Dean was making a real effort.

Seth had been so focused on Dean and making sure he was okay all this time, he even put his own love life on hold. He couldn't even remember the last time he had sex. That was a problem. Seth was still young but time flies and he thought it was time to settle down or at least find someone that was worth his time. He was currently at the crossfit gym working out. If he wasn't in class or at work, he was there, just working out until he could barely breathe. Maybe that was the problem. He wasn't getting out and having fun, meeting new people. That was about to change.

Later on that day, Seth showered, put on his best outfit and headed out to a local club. Dean was sleeping over at Sami's for the night so he was hoping he would get lucky. He arrived at the club and ordered a drink from the bartender. It was a bit crowded and lots of people where dancing. The music was great. Rollins began scanning the crowd. He felt like dancing but needed someone to dance with.

Suddenly everything went black and he felt someone tying a blindfold over his eyes. "What the hell?" he yelled. He was trying to take the blindfold off but the person grabbed his hands, stopping him.

"Shh. Let's dance." the mystery person whispered in Seth's ear. It sent a chill down his spine. It was a guy. He knew that for sure. Seth felt as the guy grabbed his hands and guided him to the dance floor. He felt the man place his hands on his hips and instructed him to move. He gasped when the man pulled him close to his body. The movement they made together to the music was creating unbelievable friction. Seth was so overwhelmed so he just went with it. It was weird and he was sure he people were staring at him and the unknown guy. Somehow, he didn't care.

As Seth dealt with the mystery man, Dean and Sami were at Sami's place watching movies. They were comfortably laying in bed under the sheets, warm. Dean had his head laying on Sami's chest. A giggle escaped his mouth. Jim Carrey movies were Dean's favorite and he couldn't stop laughing.

Sami broke into a smile every time Dean laughed. It was like sweet music to his ears. He sighed happily and put the movie on pause.

"Hey," Dean sat up to face his boyfriend. He pouted. "What's wrong?"

Sami cupped Dean's jaw and caressed his cheek with his thumb. "I have something to tell you." Dean looked at him curiously. He was kind of scared. Was it good or bad?

"What is it?" He asked, feeling his heart beat go rapid.

Sami looked deep into Dean's eyes and never broke eye contact. "I love you." Sami had no idea if he was moving too fast. It's what he felt and he had to put it out there. He wasn't sure what he would do if Dean didn't feel the same way.

Dean could tell that Sami was being honest. He believed him. Sami was the first guy to tell him he loved him. Dean heart skipped a beat. "I love you too." he responded.

Sami smiled and pecked Dean's lips. Neither one of them could believe it. They were in love. They were both so filled with emotion, they shared a tight hug.

The next two words that were said made them pull away.

"Marry me."
