"Seth… I… Uh… Maybe we…" Dean was quickly cut off by Seth.

"Don't be silly Dean, Roman will understand. We owe it to him to tell him." Seth was trying to convince Dean even though he already fully intended on telling Roman their secret, regardless of what Dean said.

Dean silent tried to plead with Seth, giving him various looks but Seth continued on his mission. Dean looked down at the table, unable to look Roman in the eyes as Seth spoke to him.

After looking around to make sure no one was in earshot of the men's table, Seth began speaking toward Roman.

"So you maybe have noticed things being a little different lately, and well… That's because Dean and I have been trying to sort some stuff out and it turns out that we kinda love each other."

Dean's hand came up to his face as he hoped the world would swallow him up right now. He couldn't believe Seth was explaining this situation to Roman. Obviously it was unbeknownst to Seth that Roman was well aware of Dean's feelings toward Seth. Dean was absolutely mortified that Roman had to sit through this after what he done to him.

Roman sat across from the men with no emotion on his face. Since he never said anything or reacted then Seth took this as a cue to continue.

"We've been kinda well, exploring our feelings and it's the real deal Roman. It's all a bit new to us both but this is real. True love. Just like in the movies. I know it probably sounds ridiculous but I guess the heart wants what the heart wants huh?" At this point Seth took Dean's hand under the table. "We both hope you can accept this. And just know that it doesn't change anything between the three of us. We're still the Shield. We're still going to be the same as we've always been. Aren't you going to say anything?" Seth finally finished.

Roman looked between the two men, remaining silent.

Seth nervously bit his lip as he squeezed Dean's hand. He was really nervous that Roman wouldn't be accepting of this new relationship. He looked at Dean quickly and then focussed back on Roman waiting a response.

Dean's eyes darted around the room, a sick feeling brewing in his stomach. His eyes stopped darting when they landed on Roman. Eventually Roman looked up and caught Dean's stare. It was only for a brief moment but in that time Dean managed to mouth the words 'I'm sorry' to Roman, with a genuine and sincere look to back it up.

Roman swallowed hard before he spoke.

"This is all a bit much. And out of nowhere. But if you guys say you're in love then I'm happy for the both of you. It might take a while getting used to, but I'm cool with it." Roman finished his response but didn't show any signs of emotion across his face.

Seth was relieved that Roman understood that he overlooked the lack of emotion on his face. He was so glad that things were good between the three of them and that was all that mattered. Seth smiled at both men then excused himself to go to the restroom.

As soon as Seth was out of sight Dean turned all his attention to Roman.

"Roman I am so fucking sorry, okay?" Dean whispered but in the most apologetic and sincerest of tones. "I had no idea you were going to be here and Seth had this ambush planned and I am really really sorry for all of this and please just talk to me. Just say something so I know you hear me and believe me. I can't lose you Roman."

Roman clenched his eyes tight, and his whole body went tense. He felt Dean's hand touch his knee under the table and his insides reaction was to jerk his leg away from Dean, which he did. After a large inhale however, he moved his knee outward, meeting Dean's hand once again. As they collided, Roman let out a sigh of relief. It was as if he had breathed in all his troubles and in that exhalation they were all gone. That feeling didn't last long though.

"Dean, please. Not now." Roman said, absolutely deflated.

Both men sat in silence, Dean's hand still on Roman's knee. Neither of them looked at each other.

Seth returned to the quiet table, but instead of taking his seat next to Dean, he nudged Roman over in his seat and sat next to the Samoan. He was in much better spirits than the other two although still wasn't particularly aware of the awkwardness between them. Roman was now directly facing Dean, and they're legs now even closer under the table. Dean took his right hand off Roman, not wanting Seth to notice as he was side by side with Roman now. Roman looked up at Dean as he felt the weight removed from him, and he had to admit he felt slightly disappointed. That was until he felt Dean's left hand approach his leg, and slide up a little passed his knee, as far as he could reach without making it look obvious. Roman gritted his teeth and Dean stroked him lightly with gentle squeezes in between. Roman felt like all his nerve endings were on fire.

Seth looked up from his phone once he was done checking something, and asked the guys if they wanted milkshakes. Both men replied a yes in unison, quickly and abruptly.

"Okay, but I'm picking the flavours." Seth exclaimed excitedly before exiting the table to go up to the ice cream counter and order the milkshakes. This wasn't unusual for Seth as he always picked three flavours he wanted to try as he could never settle on one. He knew he could always convince the other two to let him share theirs.

Whilst Seth was gone, Dean and Roman still didn't exchange any words. Roman did however reach under the table and rest his hand on Dean's. Roman looked out the window as Dean watched Seth up at the counter.

Seth returned, just managing to carry the three milkshakes in a makeshift triangle with his fingers intertwined. He put them down in the centre of the table before giving Dean and Roman theirs, and placing his in front of his spot before sitting down. Seth was the first to take a giant gulp of his, followed by a large groan.

"Oh my god this is delicious."He was taken away with this milkshake that he still never picked up on any weird vibes from the other two.

"Dean you gotta try this. Here." Seth passed his milkshake to Dean who took it with his only free hand and tried a little mouthful. He gave a little smile to Seth and agreed it was pretty good. Seth took it upon himself to lean over to Dean's shake and give it a try as well. He took a massive mouthful of it, and let out yet another groan of enjoyment. Seth loved a good milkshake.

Dean and Roman both started to lighten up at Seth's antics. He was so kid like at times but it was one of his positive traits. It kept the other two men amused most of the time. Roman took a small sip of his own shake and before he could return it to the table he caught Seth staring at him. Roman knew what he was after and handed the glass to Seth. Seth smirked like a kid on Christmas and took a swig of the third milkshake. He returned the glass to the table and took a minute enjoying the last of the flavour in his mouth.

"Guys, I think I made a mistake." Taking the milkshake from in front of Roman, and replacing it with Dean's. "I think I'll have this one. Roman you can have this one. And Dean. This one's yours." Dean ended up with the shake that was originally Seth's and noticed it was already half empty. "Yeah this is more like it. Drink up guys."

Seth's behaviour lightened up the mood of the whole table, and by the time they were ready to leave they were back to their normal selves, laughing and joking around just like old times. Only difference was that Dean and Seth were officially a couple, however it was Roman's hand that Dean still had a hold of under the table, completely unbeknownst to Seth, who was positively beaming about the outcome of today.
