And Roman didn't say anything back. He was going to give Dean his space, but for the record, it was...not 9 in the morning, but 8 in the morning, and Roman had woken up Dean an hour ahead of what he's used to. Oops. Though, Roman had to get up at four, so he was having a hard time feeling bad for Dean. He was a dick pretty much all the time, but he was even more of a dick in the mornings.
They were driving to Georgia, instead of, y'know, flying. Which would take about an hour and didn't require Roman getting up at some ungodly hour of the morning. Waking up sucked, especially when it wasn't originally planned. They weren't supposed to take their Georgia trip till mid-July, and it was June 27th when they left. Roman checked his phone, as if he'd gotten some phantom text message in the last five minutes. There was nothing - shocker - and Roman locked his phone before closing his eyes and trying his best to get comfortable in the car. Roman had gotten used to a lot of things since he had his last growth spurt, but long car rides weren't one of them.
Once he finally settled himself in a halfway-comfortable position, and he could actually pretend to sleep, he started thinking about Dean and Seth. Dean knew more about Seth's dream than he was letting on, and Seth just refused to say anything. He'd heard Seth say his and Dean's names, but he didn't know why. Was it about him? Was he in it? Roman didn't think he was asking for much, he just wanted a few simple answers, nothing major. And Dean, he was just being shady. He knew about it, and Roman knew that for a fact, but Dean just wanted to beat around the bush.
Was it okay to feel betrayed when you weren't in a relationship with either party?
"Roman, are you okay?" He was brought out of his thoughts by his mother's soft voice.
"Uh, yeah, I'm good," He replies, putting on the best smile he could muster.
Patricia raised an eyebrow; Roman saw it in the rearview mirror. "Are you thinking about Dean?"
"What?" Roman asks, feeling his face heat up. "N-no, mom, absolutely not."
"Dean? As in, Ambrose? That one?" His dad asks from the drivers seat. "Why would Roman be thinking of him?"
"No reason," Roman says quickly.
"He thinks he might like Dean."
"Like him?"
"Yes, in a romantic way," His mom smiled at him in the rearview mirror. "Isn't that sweet?"
"It's...interesting."
Roman's dad didn't say another word for the entire drive.
Seth was groaning. Not the sexy kind of groan, either, one of those long, drawn-out, my-mom-wants-me-to-do-something-but-I-don't-want-to-do-it groans. He'd let out a groan for as long as he could, and then the oxygen deprivation would get to him, but he was back to groaning as soon as he had his breath back. He was being annoying as fuck, quite simply.
Dean, on the other hand, was speechless. He'd have kicked Seth, had he not been so stunned. Seth had obviously taken it as a bad sign, seeing as he was groaning till he was - literally - blue in the face. Dean wasn't sure what Seth expected, though. You don't just say something like he did and get a stoic reaction out of it. Dean was also partly mortified, but whatever. At least he wasn't the only one with a crush.
"You still like Roman, right?"
"Uh, yeah, why?"
Dean shifted a bit and sat directly in front of Seth. "Well, we've been kissing - y'know, you and me - and I guess I just wanted to know where you stood."
"Like, relationship-wise?"
"No, like, liking-wise."
"I stand right on the line that stands for, 'I have massive crushes on my two best friends," Seth admitted, watching as Dean's baby blue eyes widened. "Shitty place to be, huh?"
Understandable, actually, but Dean would never admit that. At least, not at that time. "You like me and Roman?"
"Yeah," Seth breathes out. "Like I said, it's shitty."
"Does Roman know?"
"About him? Yeah. About you? No."
"Have you and Roman ever, like..." Dean looked at Seth in a helpless sort of manner, earning a chuckle from Seth.
"Haven't gone past kissing. Well, actually, I got to take his pants off, and wow, he..."
"Built like a god," Dean finished.
"His ass too, Dean, his ass, Jesus Christ."
"He's certainly a looker," Dean chuckled. "So, what would you say if I told you that...uh, I'm sorta, y'know, in the same situation?"
Seth's brows furrowed, but they soon smoothed out and raised as he seemed to realize what Dean was saying. "You mean..."
"Mhm," Dean nodded.
"Both of us?"
"Yeah."
They let that settle between them for a few minutes. Neither said a word for a few minutes. So, they liked each other. And Roman. Speaking of, neither teen knew where he stood.
"So...you and him kissed, right?"
"Yeah," Seth admits. "I think he likes me."
"Well, if kissing constitutes as liking, then he sure does like me."
"You guys kissed?"
"Yup," Dean said it in a cocky sort of way. Seth told about his kiss pretty confidently, too, but for good reason.
Roman hadn't had a girlfriend or boyfriend of any kind. He was, like, a relationship virgin. Well, there was that time that everyone thought he was sneaking around with John Cena - a senior, the captain of the football team, and someone who had a certain interest in Roman - but they were real quick to shut it down. Roman was all pure and innocent, and it simultaneously sucked and rocked.
"Well," Seth begins, taking a deep breath before continuing. "You like me, and Roman, and I like you and Roman, and Roman most likely likes the both of us."
"Meaning...?"
"What if we made this a thing? All three of us?"
And there they were. Dean couldn't tell if the red in Seth's face was from hanging upside down off his bed or the embarrassment. Which, of course, was reasonable. A three way? Was that even allowed? It was like one of those bad vampire movies with the love triangles, only they all liked each other. At least, they both hoped so. They couldn't do anything about Roman until he came back. Still, Seth had the idea for a three way. The worst part of it?
Dean was actually kind of open to it.
Maybe they could work something out. Dean was pretty sure that, just in case, him and Seth could start something up. Roman, though...Dean really hoped he'd get some sort of chance with him, too.
"Seth."
"What?"
"I never said I was against your idea, you know..."
"Yeah, but it was kinda implied," Seth says, rolling onto his stomach and looking up at Dean. "You looked at me like I had three heads. That's not exactly a vote of confidence."
"Well, look at it this way, you just found out the guy you like likes you and the other guy you like, who conveniently likes you and the other guy you like, and one guy throws out the idea of a threesome," Dean snaps. "Not exactly something to applaud, Seth."
Seth shied away after that, not saying a word for a while. Dean finally musters up enough common sense to move forward and wrap his arms around Seth, plant a soft kiss on his cheek and tell him he was sorry. Seth just curled into Dean, and they stayed like that. No worries, no relationships, just comfort. They didn't need additives at that moment. They just needed each other. And, of course, Roman, at some point, but that wasn't the point.
