Chapter 14

Dean could never catch a break.

He slouched down in his chair as his pencil scratched at the paper in his notebook. As he had predicted his Maths teacher had given him detention when he had finally made it to class almost ten minutes late. It was just his fucking luck. He hadn't seen Seth around this time so maybe the first time was just a fluke that it stuck with him around. Maybe he should go to the office and get a new locker. Dean sighed as he focused on the homework in front of him. At least if he got it done now he wouldn't have to do it when he got home. Plus Roman said that he was going to wait for him until he got out of detention. That was at least a silver lining. He needed his boyfriend's comfort after the trying day that he had.

Boyfriend. It was still such a strange word to him. Roman was his boyfriend. It had only been about a week and he was still getting used to it. He hadn't told anyone about them being together not even his mother even though he knew that she would be happy for him. He was slowly coming to grips with the fact that he was in a relationship with another boy. He had to admit that it was pretty nice so far. He enjoyed Roman's company and their chemistry was sizzling. He felt comfortable now taking things even further but he hadn't told Roman as yet. He was hoping that things would just progress there naturally without him having to actually say anything.

Anyway it was time to stop daydreaming and get back to work. He couldn't wait to see Roman after this. He glanced at his watch. Forty five more minutes to go.

Roman was wandering around school looking for something to do as he waited for Dean. It really sucked that Dean got detention over something that he couldn't control. He strolled down the corridors and ended up walked towards the pool room. The door was open and he could hear voices from with in. Swim practice was probably going on and that meant that Seth was most likely in there as well.

Roman walked in and stood up near the bleachers while the swim coach gave the orders to Seth and the other seven members of the senior swim team. Roman placed his bag on the ground as he watched the team do various laps and drills. Seth was busy in the pool and hadn't noticed him. That was good. He didn't want Seth to become distracted. He had been extra cautious around Seth eversince he confessed that he had feelings for him. He was trying hard not to mislead him or string him along. But Seth was still his best friend so he could never fully avoid him altogether.

He stayed there until swim practice was over. It was only when Seth got out of the pool that he noticed Roman by the bleachers. He paused momentarily and then picked up his towel and walked over to Roman drying his skin off.

Seth was wearing one of those spandex trunks that came down the knees. His body looked like sculpted perfection in the black trunks. Roman couldn't help but to check him out as he approached. Seth was extremely good looking. He watched as Seth scrubbed the towel through his hair to dry it.

" Hi."

" Hi."

Roman found himself licking his bottom lip and stopped himself, a bit embarrassed but Seth's facial expression remained stoic.

" So how have things been with you?" Roman asked as Seth wrapped the towel around his neck.

" They've been cool, I guess." Seth shifted from one foot to the next. " Why are you here?"

" I just wanted to check on you."

Seth didn't seem to believe him. " You don't have football practice today and I doubt you stayed behind just to see me."

Seth just called his bluff.

" Well Dean has detention and I'm waiting on him. So I -"

" You decided to come check up on old Seth." His best friend interrupted. " I don't need your pity."

Seth turned to walk away from but Roman followed him out of the pool room.

" Seth, wait!"

Seth stopped and leaned against the wall. His expression read that he was already over whatever Roman had to say.

" It isn't pity. You know that I care about you."

Seth pouted and crossed his arms.

" Come on Seth." Roman pleaded. He stepped towards Seth until their knees butted and pulled Seth's hands loose. His hands slipping over Seth's wrists to hold his hands in his own. " You know that I care." His thumb gently caressed the back of Seth's hand. Seth's expression softened a bit.

He was staring back at him wide eyed with wet eyelashes and his lips slightly parted. Seth knew how to be appealing without even trying.

" It's really hard Romie." Seth finally admitted.

" What is?"

Seth swallowed hard. " Randy and I broke up."

" I'm sorry." Roman squeezed Seth's hands tightly.

" No you were right. One of us had to call it quits. We weren't going anywhere so I ended it."

" How did Randy take it?"

" He just said okay." Seth's gaze dropped to the floor.

" Just okay? He didn't say anything else?"

" Nope. I guess he wasn't as into me as I thought." Seth sighed.

Dean had waited for Roman for five minutes outside of the detention room but when he hadn't appeared he started walking the corridors looking for him.

He had just slid his hand into his pocket to take out his cellphone to call him when he turned a corner and the sight in front him made his heart drop to his stomach.

Roman was holding Seth's hands and he was pressed up against him and they were talking in hushed tones. Seth had a towel around his neck and he was in skintight swimwear that showed every muscle of his body. Seth had a great lean muscular physique and his ass looked perfect in those black swim trunks. He hated himself for admitting how attractive Seth was. No wonder Roman would want him. After all he was quite skinny and lanky in comparison and his ass would never look that great in trunks. Dean swallowed hard around the lump in his throat. This hurt so much just seeing them so close like that. What were they talking about? Was Roman cheating on him or planning on leaving him for Seth? He thought that he had won the battle against Seth when Roman asked him to be his boyfriend but now he could see that could be nothing further from the truth.

" Oh boy. We've been caught."

Roman followed Seth's gaze and when he saw who was watching them he knew that he had fucked up royally.

" Dean." He let go of Seth's hands and took a step back. " It's not what you think."

Dean shook his head. " Don't tell me what to think." He looked from Seth to him and back.

" Nothing's going on." Roman slowly approached him.

" Then why were you holding his hand?" Dean glanced at Seth who was wearing a smirk on face. He wanted to go over there and knock him out. In fact that sounded like a great idea. Dean balled up his fist. " What the fuck are you smiling at?"

He started to march towards Seth.

" Dean, no!" Roman grabbed him around the waist and lifted him up and turned in the opposite direction away from Seth.

" Let me go!" He kicked his legs wildly lashing Roman in the shin several times. " You're always protecting him."

" No. And I'm not protecting him." Roman countered. He carried Dean around the corner and out of Seth's sight.

" Yes you are. You always pick him over me."

" I do not." Roman placed Dean down to face a wall. His arms locked securely around Dean with his hips pressing into Dean's ass.

" Then let me go and kick his ass."

" No!" He kept one arm around Dean's waist while the other dropped further down to secure Dean's hips against his. " Stop it babe." He growled into Dean's ear. " Nothing's going on. I promise."

" But you didn't see how he looked at me just now." Dean explained. " He wants you."

" Well he isn't going to have me." Roman's voice dropped an octave lower as he whispered into Dean's ear. " And if you don't stop grinding your ass against my dick, I'm not going to be responsible for what happens next in this hallway."

Suddenly Dean could feel his anger parting as he became aware of Roman's hard dick pressing against his ass through his jeans. Fuck. If the feeling of Roman's erection and those words hadn't sent a chill straight down his spine and made his own dick hard instantly.

However Dean wasn't going to let his boyfriend off that easily. He slowly moved his hips against Roman's and was he delighted when he heard an expletive drop from his lips.

" Baby." A hot kiss was placed on the back of Dean's neck. And then another one. Dean turned his head around so that he could at least see Roman. He knew what he wanted right now and the fact that they were out in the open in the school hallway be damned.

Roman read his mind and kissed him fully on the lips. It was hot and needy as Roman licked into his mouth to curl his tongue over his. That nagging doubt in his mind about what was going on between Roman and Seth vanished as the blood started pumping to his neither regions making his pants uncomfortably tight.

Roman was slowly grinding his hips into Dean's ass as payback from before. The arm around his waist was mere inches away from his dick and Dean wished that they were inside his bedroom right now.

The kiss ended and they were just staring at each other. Each knowing what the other wanted.

Roman's hold on him loosened up a bit. " I have to go get my bag before they close the pool room."

Dean nodded regretfully as they lost body contact.

Roman kissed him again. " Meet me by the car."

Dean nodded as Roman sprinted down the hallway to go back to the pool room.

His own forgotten bag laid on the floor next to him. He picked it up and slung it over his shoulder as he made his way to the carpark. One thing was for certain. He was ready to go all the way with Roman.

A/N: Happy Wrestlemania!

Yes I know this chapter is short but it's for a good reason. You'll see ;)

By the way I love how you guys get so emotionally charged over the characters. It lets me know that I'm doing my job. And no you're not suppose to like Seth at this point so all is good. You think that things can remain platonic between him and Roman?

P.S. if five percent of readers leave a review, an update will be posted on Wednesday :) FYI, five percent is 20
