"God, if you don't stop growing, I'm gonna have to hurt you."

"And I'd help."

Roman chuckled and threw and arm around Brie's shoulders, Nikki bumping him with her hip. Brie had insisted that her, Nikki, and Roman meet up after seeing them at the party. Nikki wasn't sure why she was there, though; she'd managed to get herself drunk off her ass when she can't even drink legally.

They walked a little farther and stopped at Brie's favorite coffee place. She'd dragged Roman there countless times - but he'd never admit that he liked the coffee. The group was seated, they ordered, and Roman almost thought Brie had forgotten why she'd brought him there in the first place.

"Something's going on with you three."

Almost.

"Uh..."

Thankfully, Nikki cut Roman off. "Wait, who?"

"Roman, Seth and Dean, Nicole."

"They're dating?" Nikki asked, her eyes widening.

The two of them changed from sisters to mother-and-daughter when it came to Roman. "I don't know, Roman?" Brie was quite obviously the mother.

"Uh..." Roman looked out the window at the passing cars, feeling Nikki and Brie's eyes boring into him. "I wouldn't say dating..."

"So what are you, huh?" Nikki pressed, obviously excited.

Roman really didn't know. They were...something. All of them liked each other, and they kissed, but they didn't see why they should put a label on it. Roman saw his coffee arriving as a saving grace, immediately raising the mug to his mouth to avoid talking. The problem with having two sisters that were practically his sisters was that they acted like they were his sisters. Brie was awesome, no doubt, but she was worse than his mom.

"Roman," Brie said, reaching out and placing a hand on Roman's arm. "You know you can tell us anything, right? I mean, we've known you since you were a baby, you don't have to hide anything."

Roman sighed and placed his mug down. "I'm with them. I don't really know how, exactly, but I am."

The fact that Nikki didn't throw herself over the table was surprising. She squealed slightly and stood up, hugging Roman. "Brie, our baby is growing up!" She exclaimed, giving Roman a squeeze. "But, wait...since when were you gay?"

Brie gave Roman a look that screamed if you tell her the truth I'll castrate you, and, wow, the things it made Roman not do. Roman just tensed up. Brie knew about he and John's relationship, or lack of one. The thing was, Nikki was dating John at the time. They'd broken up, since neither were willing to have a long-distance relationship. Nikki was oblivious to Brie and Roman in that moment.

"Well?"

"I've always kinda been open to anything, I guess."

Nikki nodded and sat back down. "Well, it's really nice that you finally have boyfriends. You've been single for long enough."

Boyfriends. Roman's heart beat a little faster at the sound of the word. "Uh...yeah."

"That didn't sound too assuring," Brie said, resting her elbows on the table. "Is something up with you guys?"

"Well, no," He shrugged. "Y'know, just, seventeen years without dating anyone and, boom, you have boyfriends. It'd be the same with a girlfriend."

Both Brie and Nikki made faces when Roman said 'seventeen.' "God, that's just, ew," Nikki shuddered, Brie nodding in agreement.

"What?"

"You're seventeen," Brie made another face. "Gross."

"You guys are gonna be 19 soon. That's, like, super close to twenty," Roman said, taking another sip of his coffee. "I feel old."

"But we're older than you, and you being seventeen is disgusting," Nikki commented. "We're old women."

Brie rolled her eyes. "Not that old."

"Old," Nikki assured her. "Okay, Roman, so, two guys at once, huh?"

"Mhm," Roman would be lying if he said he didn't know where that was going.

"How do you guys have sex?"

"Nicole!"

Seth laughed as Dean chased him around his backyard, yelping every time Dean's hands skimmed him. Seth wasn't even sure how or what they were doing, but Roman's absence was the first thing that came to mind. He was the brain. And the transportation. And, you know, a kinda-sorta-really boyfriend, too. The entire atmosphere was different with Roman around. For Seth, it was almost harder to breathe, but he never felt more at ease, which made no sense. Seth had a crush on Roman for years, and now he was with him. It was vaguely surreal, really.

Of course, Seth had Dean, too. The way things changed always made Seth laugh. He and Dean couldn't stand each other for a good amount of time, Roman being the only thing keeping them together. Eventually, they learned to tolerate one another, but Seth always complained about the attention Dean got (which was ridiculous, in hindsight), and Dean never felt like he fit in around Roman and Seth. Yet, somehow, they all fit together.

Dean's fingers skimmed his hips once more, and Seth, ever the graceful little butterfly, tried to speed up. Instead, he tripped over his own foot, tumbling down onto the grass, bringing Dean down as the older teen failed to slow down and tripped over him. They both went down in a giggling heap, Dean sitting up while still on top of Seth.

Seth's giggles stopped as he bit his lip, looking up at Dean. "Wow..." He trailed off, placing his hands on Dean's thighs.

"What?" Dean asked, his own hands resting on Seth's hips.

"You look really good up there," Seth chuckled as Dean blushed, slipping his arms around the blue-eyed boy's waist as he made to move away. "Why are you moving?"

"You're being...weird," Dean squirmed a little, but didn't get away.

"Me saying you look good isn't weird," Seth loosened his grip on Dean. "You just aren't good at taking complements."

"'Cause I'm not supposed to get them," Dean mumbled.

Seth sighed, letting go of Dean and letting him sit up. It really was a damn shame that Dean didn't see what Seth saw. The older teen had been letting his hair grow, much like everyone else, the curly blonde strands falling right above Dean's pretty baby-blue eyes. He'd been getting a light tan all summer, but he was still pale in contrast to Roman and Seth. His body was really thin, but that didn't change how broad his shoulders were, or how small his waist was. Seth couldn't help but smile as he realized he had an all long legs and blonde hair boyfriend, and a tall, dark and handsome boyfriend. Life was fucking great.

"Are you just gonna stare at me all day?"

Seth finally drifted back to earth, sitting up and re-wrapping his arms around Dean's waist. "You're really, really good looking, you know that?"

"I'm not Roman good looking," Dean slid his arms around Seth's neck, pressing himself a but closer.

"Nobody is Roman good looking. You're Dean good looking," Seth corrected. "And I like it."

Dean blushed again, this time a brighter shade of red, and he hid his face in Seth's neck. "You suck."

"Maybe, but you still like me."

"You're a loser."

For such a big loser, Seth still got kissed. Dean pressed his lips to his softly, Seth letting him control the pace for the moment. Their lips moved in unison, fitting together like puzzle pieces. Dean's tongue shyly swept along the seam of Seth's lips, and Seth opened his mouth. All of Seth's nerves felt like they were on fire at the mere touch of he and Dean's tongues. Dean was the first one to pull away, and Seth made a disapproving noise, until Dean shushed him.

"C'mon, I don't want your mom to see us making out in your yard," Dean said, standing up and pulling Seth with him. They nearly toppled over each other as they raced to Seth's room, but they made it on the bed anyways.

Roman watched with a smile as Brie and Nikki bickered, turning his attention to his phone as it vibrated in his pocket. He smiled as he pulled it out and saw Seth's name on the screen.

"Ooh, you're smiling, that's a boyfriend!" Nikki exclaimed. "Put him on speaker, we wanna hear the happy couple."

Roman chuckled and shook his head, but he did as he was told. "Hey, Seth."

"Hi, Rome," Seth sounded like he always did, just a little breathier, but Brie and Nikki didn't seem to notice. "Hey, uh, fuck, are you still with Brie and Nikki?"

Roman got two sets of raised eyebrows at the sound of Seth's question. "Um, yeah, they're actually right-"

"Oh shit, Dean, don't stop, please..."

Roman nearly dropped with phone as he struggled to turn the volume on his phone down, Nikki smacking his arm when he tried to turn off the speaker. "Seth...?"

"Come to my house, oh my god, like, right now," Seth's voice was a good octave above what it usually was, and Dean was obviously there, too.

"Right now?" Roman was blushing furiously, Nikki's hand wrapped around his wrist like a vise while Brie stared at him intently.

"Yes, Roman, fuck," Even with the volume down, that was loud.

"Uh, alright, I'll be there in a few."

"Hurry," Seth whimpered. Actually whimpered.

Roman hung up the phone, placing it face-down on the table while burying his own burning face in his hands. What the fuck was that? The most vulgar thoughts came to Roman's mind, mainly consisting of Dean fucking Seth in some kind of way (none of said thoughts were good in a crowded coffee shop; a stiffy wasn't too kind in that situation). Nikki, meanwhile, was laughing, and Brie just had her mouth opened - but was smiling slightly.

"So that's how you have sex!"

"Nicole, please."
