After Seth left campus, he walked around the city of New York completely heartbroken. He had no idea how things flipped all of a sudden. Everything worked out with his parents and he was sure everything was going great. Of course, that was until he walked into the dorm room and saw Sami kissing HIS boyfriend. Dean's reaction after Seth pointed out that Dean didn't pull away, made the smaller man reconsider how things exactly went down. All Seth saw was Dean and Sami kissing but that couldn't have been the whole story right? Maybe Dean was telling the truth. He had to be. The way he got offended when Seth didn't believe him. And not to mention the change of demeanour when Seth completely snapped. All these thoughts ran through his mind as he walked weakly through the streets.

Seth felt so horrible that he gave Dean the slightest idea that he would put his hands on him. In that moment, he realized just how fragile Dean was on the inside. From now on, Seth knew that he had to be more cautious with that. He was hesitant to leave Dean in the state that he did but the Ohioan told him to leave. Seth thinking about going back to the dorm room but he wasn't sure if he would. He was planning on staying with his parents for the weekend but he really didn't know what explanation he would give his parents. He didn't want to tell them that he was having problems with Dean already. Then, Seth remembered that he had to start work the next day. It was hardly worth going all the way to his parents and then having to come back the next day. He decided to go back to the dorm room. He just hoped that Dean wouldn't push him away and would talk to him.

It had barely been a couple of hours since Seth left and Dean was already missing him so much. He felt like Seth was so far away from him, This was one thing that Dean always feared; Seth leaving him.

He managed to get his sobs under control but the tears were still falling. He couldn't believe how Seth was acting all of a sudden. He wasn't loving, caring or understanding anymore. He didn't believe a single thing that Dean said and that heart the formerly abused guy. This was exactly how his relationship with Sami started out. The abuser started out as being loving and so nice, and then in an instant, his whole personality changed. Dean was fearing that this could possibly be history repeating itself with Seth. When his fist connected to the wall, all the fear came rushing back into Dean's body. He had flashbacks of when Sami did something similar a couple of years ago. Dean's state of mind was telling him that Seth was going to hit him next. This came about because Dean had been so used to being hit after and outburst like that. That's what he always expected so that's what caused that initial reaction.

Dean didn't even want to look Seth in the eye because he feared those beautiful brown eyes wouldn't look the same anymore. Not light, loving or sparkly. Yeah, Seth had that sparkle in his eye that Dean could notice miles away. He was almost pretty sure that he was the reason behind it; he would love to think so. When Seth assured him that he wouldn't hurt him, Dean believed him...he just couldn't be around Seth at the moment so he told him to leave. He was beginning to regret requesting that. He felt incomplete without him and he wanted Seth back. If he ever did come back, Dean would make sure to look deep into his eyes and analyze them...see if they are the same as they always had been.

Another thing that Dean feared was that Seth would never believe him about the Sami situation. Here he was, telling the truth and Seth wouldn't take any of it. That hurt Dean to the core but he also understood. If the script was flipped, he probably would have had the same reaction; maybe even worse. At this point, Dean couldn't stand Sami anymore and next time he came around, he would just kick him out immediately. He couldn't even hear the guys name anymore.

As the tears continued to fall from Dean's eyes, his eyelids felt heavier and heavier. He wished that he was in Seth's arms at that moment. He felt lonely and cold in the room by himself. He just hoped that Seth was safe, wherever he was. He stood up from his bed and walked over to Seth's Before he knew it, he cried himself to sleep, cuddled up in a ball under the bed sheets.

A couple of minutes after Dean fell asleep, Seth got there and opened the door slowly. It was dark so he walked in, shut the door and turned on the light. He immediately spotted Dean on his bed and he smiled softly. He must have really mean it when he said he wanted that bed. He walked over to the bed and placed his things down slowly. He sat on the bed carefully to not wake Dean up. He studied his face and saw the tear stains on his cheeks. Seth felt bad because he caused those tears. He gently reached for his cheek and caressed it . His boyfriend looked so peaceful but heartbroken at the same time.

Seth got his hair up in a low bun and then laid down on the bed next to Dean. He wrapped his arms around him and kissed his forehead. Dean began to stir and opened his eyes slowly.

"Seth..."

"Shh...we'll talk in the morning...sleep." Seth whispered and pecked his lips. Dean merely nodded and sighed. He felt complete now that he had Seth with him. He wrapped and arm around Seth's waist and scooted closer to him. Seth caressed Dean's cheek and watched him fall back asleep. Dean buried his face in Seth's neck and placed a soft kiss there before finally falling asleep; Seth following suit.

(The Next Day)

Seth woke up and reached out for Dean but felt nothing. He opened his eyes and noticed Dean wasn't in the bed.

"Morning." Seth heard and turned his body around to see Dean sitting in his chair...looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Morning..." he responded and sat up on the bed. He reached for Dean's hand and Dean immediately stood and walked over to him. Seth pulled him down on the bed and kissed him passionately. Dean sighed into the kiss and cupped his boyfriends cheek. They pulled away and stared into each other's eyes. No words needed to be spoken as their eyes did all the talking. Nonetheless, they both spoke at the same time.

"I'm sorry." they said simultaneously.

'Seth I-"

"No, let me talk first please." Seth interrupted. "I really am sorry Dean. I'm sorry for my outburst and I want you to know that I would never put my hands on you. I apologize if I made you think that. I'm not Sami, Dean. Not even close." Seth shook his head. "I would never hurt you in that way or in any way. Also, I'm sorry for not believing you. Seeing how mad and offended you got, I got the idea that you have been telling me the truth...I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. I just couldn't stand seeing another guys lips on yours, baby. I want you all to myself. I want to protect you on my own."

Dean sniffled as he listened to Seth's every word. He was relieved to hear that Seth finally realized he was being honest. It might have taken him some time but he came around either way. "I guess I can understand the way you acted. I would have been in the same state. And, you did scare me when you hit the wall but I believe you when you say you would never hurt me. I see it in your eyes that you are serious about that. I thought I was completely over it but I guess you can never truly get over something like that. I know you'll help me through it though. I swear to you that the kiss meant nothing and it was not even s second long. I didn't even like it. I could never like anybody else's kisses. Just yours. Yours are all I want." Dean whispered the last part and leaned in to kiss Seth passionately. Their tongues entwined and they moaned into the kiss. Seth broke the kiss first.

"You don't want him right?" Seth asked with pleading eyes.

"Absolutely not. I want you." Dean answered without hesitation and stroked Seth's messy hair. "Promise me you will never leave me like that again. I felt so empty without you here." he whispered and rested his forehead on Seth's.

"I promise you. I'll never leave you." Seth hooked his fingers behind Dean's neck and pulled him forward. He kissed his neck then went up to his jaw line; finally settling on his lips. "If he ever comes near us again, I'll kick his ass, and I mean that." Seth said sternly.

Dean could only smile at Seth's stern warning. He really did want to protect him. "I think I'll have to join you on that." dean chuckled.

Seth smiled and kissed him again. He was so glad that they were on the same page again.

They couldn't stand being mad at each other for more than a few hours. They just couldn't; they like each other way too much. Both of them knew that this was probably only the first obstacle they would have to get through. They were barely freshman after all.

"We stick together no matter what...you hear me?" Seth whispered.

Dean lifted his head to look into his eyes. He nodded. "Together...no matter what." he rested his head on Seth's shoulder and sighed. This is all he ever truly wanted. To be in Seth's arms and to know he was protected. To know that they would always be together and have trust for each other.

"I really wish I could stay in bed with you all day but today is my first day of work." Seth spoke up after a few silent moments.

Dean sat up on the bed and pouted in disappointment. Seth laughed and pulled him back down. ''No worries...it's only 4 hours." he got up, only to get pulled back down by Dean. They laughed as they connected lips again. ''Do you want to walk with me over there? You can be my first costumer."

Dean smiled and nodded.

Roman and Sami had arrived at Hollis Hall just in time to see Seth and Dean leave the building, talking and laughing. They both glared at the happy couple and were shocked beyond belief. They made sure they weren't see and left to Roman's room.

"Nice going dumbass! That plan certainly worked...for like a couple of hours." Sami rolled his eyes as they entered the room.

"Don't blame me because YOU couldn't get that fucker back!" Roman growled.

"Don't call him like that!" Sami shot back.

'Whatever...all I know is that this isn't working. It looks like they got gum in between them that keeps them stuck together. They won't fuckin separate!"

"We have to take a more direct approach." Sami suggested.

"MORE direct approach?" Roman raised an eyebrow.

"I wonder if admissions allow gay couples to room together."
