Roman looked himself over in the mirror again he hadn't been this nervous since his first date with Dean. Roman felt unsure of how the night would play out but he knew that he had to take the chance. It would show Dean how much he cared about him and how serious Roman was about the other man. Roman pulled his hair into a loose bun which complemented the white dress shirt he had on the sleeves rolled up just below his elbow. Roman debated between dress slacks and jeans in the end the jeans had won because he knew it would be more comfortable. Roman heard the door to their hotel room click and Dean appeared with a smile on his face. He looked quite handsome he had on his leather jacket and underneath a blue dress shirt. Roman licked his lips as his eyes traced the blue denim that hung to the other man's every curve. Dean looked so good in blue jeans he always had. Roman had always thought that even when he was with Seth he admired the other man's ass in jeans. Dean chuckled as he gave Roman a light shove.

"You almost ready?"

Roman nodded as he checked his pockets to make sure he had everything he needed than he grabbed Dean's hand and pulled him out of the door. As Roman pulled them down the hall Dean found his mind raced a miles a minute. He wondered where they were headed but he knew it would do no good to ask. Roman would never tell him until they arrived at their destination. Roman called a taxi and as one pulled to the curb he held open the door for Dean who cursed him for making the moment mushy. Roman chuckled as he entered the cab. Roman rattled off an address to the driver and they were off.

Dean watched as building after building passed by his curiosity had reached it's max when after a short drive they pulled off onto a side road the taxi stopped at an empty field. Roman thanked the man as he paid him then he opened the door and pulled Dean out of the cab. Dean watched as taillights faded up the path a puzzled look on his face. Roman just smiled at him as he walked Dean to the edge of the field. The blonde finally saw what was awaiting them off almost in the center was a red ford truck. Dean smiled it reminded him of the first car he had ever bought it was a little truck similar to the one before them. Dean noticed secondly that the area was pretty isolated which he was thankful for since Dean felt certain that their night would contain some kind of intimate moment.

Roman said nothing as he locked his fingers with Dean's and walked them closer to the truck. Roman had a picnic basket laid out in the bed of the truck with candles everywhere and a six pack of beer. Dean felt his insides get mushy it was like their first date. Dean's heart swelled when he realized that Roman had gone out of his way to recreate their first date. Dean was also shocked that Roman remembered all the small details he wanted to cry again and this made him curse Roman had that effect on him and he hated it. Dean hated feeling vulnerable it was uncomfortable for him. Roman climbed into the bed of the truck then offered Dean a hand so he could help pull him up. Dean sat cross legged and reached for the picnic basket but Roman gently pushed his hand away which surprised Dean. "Hey what gives." Roman smiled and said nothing as he leaned up and over on his knees. He captured the blonde's lips in a slow passionate kiss. Than as Roman pulled away he whispered "I love you."

"I love you too." Dean noticed the deep breaths Roman would occasionally take and it made him even more curious what Roman was up too. "You ok?" Roman nodded his head before he held the picnic basket out for Dean to take.

"I got some of our favorite sandwiches from the deli up the street." Dean almost protested until his stomach rumbled letting him it know it had been a while since Dean had eaten. Dean opened the picnic basket and reached in to pull out a sandwich when he felt the small box. Dean grabbed it with a shaky hand and pulled it out then he sat the basket off to the side. He looked at Roman with a confused look on his face Roman smiled and took the box from his hands. Roman opened then turned it for Dean to look at. Dean saw the simple gold band and he started to panic he hadn't been ready for what he thought might happen next. Roman took the ring from the box before he reached for Dean's hand. Dean tried to pull away but Roman wouldn't let him instead he slid the ring down Dean's finger then laced their fingers together.

"Calm down this isn't an engagement ring I know we aren't ready for that. This draft thing made me think about how much I love you. I want you to know how much I love you so this is a promise ring and before you say it I know it's kinda cheesy. However Dean I love you and I promise no matter what happens." Roman paused to poke his finger against Dean's chest where his heart beated than he poked himself in the same spot. "You and me will always work I will make sure it. No matter if we are one room apart or a thousand miles I will do whatever it takes to make sure you know I am not going anywhere." Dean looked at the ring and then at Roman he was at a loss for words. Instead he decided to try and show Roman what he felt. Dean scooted closer to Roman and captured his lips in a soul searing kiss. Neither man pulled away until they both needed air. Roman looked around and saw stars starting to dot the sky. He started to light the candles and sit them on the tailgate of the truck so that finally they had a gentle glow surrounding them.

Roman crossed his legs as he stretched his arms out and dug his fingers into Dean's hips. Roman pulled Dean into his lap as his fingers moved up Dean's sides to slide under his shirt and lift it over his head. Roman took in the site of a topless Dean and he felt himself getting painfully hard. Roman moved his hips up so Dean could feel the pressure against his ass. Roman's lips sank into the side of Dean's neck leaving angry red marks. Dean moaned as he rolled his ass against Roman causing the other man to growl. "Fuck baby." Dean turned his neck so that Roman could get better access to his pale skin. Roman licked and sucked every spot of Dean's skin. Dean pulled away so he could yank Roman's shirt up over his head. Dean tossed it to the side then he raked his nails along Roman's back. "Fuck I won't be able to control myself if you do that again. Dean did it again a little harder this time leaving a trail of red along Roman's tanned skin. Roman stood Dean up so that he could unbutton his jeans and yank them off. Dean watched as Roman skillfully pulled his own pants off. Roman pulled Dean back into his lap placing Dean with his knees on either side of Roman's legs. Dean wrapped his arms around Roman's neck and pulled himself closer so that their chest were pressed together. Roman kissed him softly before he leaned over and captured Dean's earlobe between his teeth. He bit down causing a harsh moan to escape the blonde's lips. Roman whispered in his ear "I forgot prep stuff." Dean rested his forehead against the side of Roman's neck " I don't care." Roman hesitated "are you sure?" Dean felt himself getting impatient so he lifted his ass and slid down pushing Roman deep inside of him. Dean hissed as he sank down until he was full. Roman wrapped his arms around Dean's waist as he kissed behind his ear. Dean lifted himself off then slammed back down causing both men to groan at the same time Roman let Dean ride for a while soft and slow until Dean found his own spot. He shivered as he rolled his hips causing Roman to brush against his spot again. Roman grabbed at Dean's hips to still his movements which caused a disappointed grunt to escape Dean's mouth. Roman thrusted up ripping Dean he pushed deeper inside. Dean cried out as Roman thrusted again harder this time. Dean knew Roman wanted rough so he let him have his way. Roman started to buck up faster quickening the pace with each thrust until the bed of the truck was rocking and Dean's ass was slapping against his groin. Dean had his head tilted down so that he could rest against Roman's chest he started to pant as moans kept falling from his lips. Roman felt himself getting close so he adjusted their angle so that Dean's arousal was pressed firmly against his stomach. As Roman thrusted up Dean rubbed against his stomach the friction causing the blonde to roll his eyes into the back of his head. Roman kept the pace until he felt throbbing and then wet all over his stomach he knew Dean had reached the edge. He felt the walls tighten around him and it was too much he thrusted up a final time his orgasm filled Dean as he slowed his hips. Roman kissed the side of Dean's neck before he lifted Dean off of him. Roman placed Dean next to him as he quickly wiped himself clean. Then he lied back down and pulled Dean close both men were exhausted and they fell asleep quickly.


Roman groaned as he sat in the uncomfortable chair placed in front of Hunter's desk. He had been interrupted in his morning with Dean by his phone ringing several times no matter how hard Roman had tried to ignore it. His whole body was stiff from sleeping in the truck but he couldn't complain until he saw the door open and Seth strut inside. Roman felt irritated he had been pulled from his world with Dean for this shithead. Roman wanted to tell Hunter a piece of his mind but thought better of it. Seth looked Roman up and down before he took his seat. "What are you doing here?" Roman was straight to the point he had nothing to say to the other man. "You know as much as I do." Neither one would have to wait very long as Hunter entered the room and made his way behind the desk. Hunter fixed his tie as he sat down and turned in his chair so he faced both of them.

"Now you both might be wondering why you are here. Well Steph and I decided that with your history it would be best to sit you guys down and let you know in person so that if we have a problem we can resolve it."

Roman said nothing as he crossed his hands over his chest Seth on the other hand had chosen not to stay quiet. "What the hell?" Hunter raised his hand instantly shutting Seth up. "Creative has decided that they would like to do a story line with each of you that will have you guys meet up a few months after the draft and end up having matches together and helping each other out." Seth was the first to protest "you think that is a good idea." Now Roman felt really annoyed how Dare that little weasel try and dodge him now it was Roman's turn to speak up. " I don't know what he is worried about I think it will be fine Hunter." With this Hunter shoved his hands in his pockets and smiled. "I knew it would be ok now get out." Roman stood and made his way to the door as he reached for the handle he looked back and saw Seth glaring at him which only made him smile harder. As the door clicked shut behind him Roman cursed out loud he would have to let Dean know and he knew the other man would not be happy. Tonight was the first Smackdown live and Roman didn't want to tell Dean and ruin his debut as the face of Smackdown. Dean had worked his ass off to obtain the championship and Roman would never forgive himself if he took Dean's moment so he thought it would be better to wait. Roman decided tonight his only worry would be making sure he was there to support Dean they could worry about the rest tomorrow when they were home.


Roman paced around the kitchen he knew Dean had to be told but he still wasn't looking forward to it. Roman only hoped that the high from the night before would still be there so that the blonde wouldn't take it too badly. Dean's first Smackdown live had been a huge success and Roman had never seen the other man so happy. All Dean talked about on their drive home afterwards was home much he looked forward to next week. Roman didn't mind he was overjoyed for his lover Dean deserved every moment of it. Dean was still passed out in their bedroom Roman had gotten up early actually to be honest he hadn't slept much the night before. After the excitement of Dean's moment had worn off it was replaced with dread. He had to tell Dean and he didn't know how.

Roman's pace was stopped by Dean who wrapped his arms around the taller man's waist and planted soft kisses against his shoulder blade. "You ok?" Roman said nothing which caused the other man to pull away and turn him around. Dean held Roman's face in his hands as his eyes searched the grey ones. "You can tell me." Roman grabbed for Dean's hands and intertwined their fingers it was still a moment before he spoke.

"I have to do a story that eventually has me pairing with Seth." Dean looked at him for a few moments before his face changed and he pulled away.

"What?"

Roman tired to reach out for him but he was pushed away this time. "Dean I am sorry I had no choice in the matter you know that. It's not like I want it either but I don't have a choice."

"I don't like it not one bit. What if he decides he wants you back?"

Roman reached out and grabbed Dean's hand again not giving him the chance to stop Roman. Roman ran his thumb over Dean's ring finger causing the blonde to look down at the gold band. "You're the one I love and Seth isn't going to change that no matter what."

"Get Hunter to change it."

Roman tried to place a gentle kiss along the top of Dean's hand but again he was denied by the other man who ripped his hand away. Roman felt himself getting frustrated Dean was acting ridiculous Roman wanted to be patient and understanding but it was getting to him.

"I can't."

"Bullshit."

"You know what Dean you are acting like a selfish fucking child. You know how Hunter is there is nothing I could do even if I wanted to but if you wanna let the self fucking doubt make you act like a jackass go ahead by all means just pull the trigger and let all the fucking shit I told you a few nights ago mean nothing."

"Fuck you Roman."

With this Dean turned and stormed out of the kitchen Roman let out a frustrated growl as he picked up the coffee mug and threw it against the wall. The cup shattered into pieces as it hit the ground and Roman let out another growl "great." He grabbed a broom and went to clean up the mess. Roman felt like a big asshole he had no right to snap at Dean the way he had but at the same time he really felt like Dean was acting childish over the whole ordeal. Roman cursed as he swept up the glass and threw it in the trash he wanted to go after the blonde but knew it would only make things worse.

As Roman closed the lid to the trash can he heard the engine of Dean's old beat up truck come to life. The taller man knew the blonde would escape to the local bar to drown out some of his worries. Roman hated the idea but there was nothing he could about it so he decided to get some sleep until Dean returned. Roman pulled his hair loose and made his way upstairs as he flopped in the bed he reached for his phone and pulled up Dean's number out of his contacts.

Please be careful. Need to eventually talk I love you.

With this Roman placed the phone back on the nightstand and pulled the covers up over his head as he felt his eyelids grow heavy.
