"Because he's my boyfriend."

"He's my boyfriend."

Those were the bold words that came out of Dean's mouth last night which were still haunting Seth's mind. His head was aching so damn hard as if someone had beaten him with a sledge hammer in there, and his eyes were droopy as if he'd taken more than twenty shots of whiskey.

The entire room was spinning to him from the moment he'd creaked open his eyes this morning. Was he dreaming about last night? Did Dean even come to his room? What the hell happened last night?

All these questions were fogging his mind when he felt a stinging pain in his neck immediately reminding him of the brutal attack that he'd suffered by the hands of his so called authority buddies.

It instantly flashed in his mind that last night was definitely real since Dean was the one who'd taken care of him last night after rescuing him from his ever so kind mates, but for some odd reason it still felt like a dream to him.

Seth sighed hard over the memory of Dean standing up against Orton & Kane for him, and then helping him back to his hotel room before cleaning up his wounds. He didn't even know why but a smile flashed upon his face over that sweet memory of Dean protecting and fighting for him. He now felt secure and loved by the man whom he still considered to be his personal property even though he'd willingly broken the same man's heart just a few months ago.

He was happily basking in the glory of Dean still loving him when he remembered bout Dean's last statement to him just before he left his room. The same statement which didn't allow the younger man to sleep all night, and had even caused him a severe headache this morning.

"He's my boyfriend."

The same words got repeated in his mind for over a millionth time that morning. "Noooooooooooo..." Seth screamed to the empty room and walls as he immediately sat up in his bed gasping hard. "No, Dean. You're mine."

Seth said to himself as he clutched the pillow hard in his arms rocking back & forth thinking about Dean & Roman together. How could I not see it? Dean & Roman are boyfriends. When the hell did that happen? His mind was getting twisted minute by minute with one or another maniacal question.

In Seth's mind, he'd left Dean thinking that he'll reach to top sooner than his man, and then he could come back to claim him, but it seemed like things had clearly not gone his way. Seth was almost sure that the kind of man that Dean was a flaming combination of erratic, frenzy and dominant personality that no other man would ever touch him while he was gone, but boy was he ever wrong or what?

He'd never thought in a million years that his own best friend, his sworn brother & partner, Roman would be the one to steal his man way. "How dare he?" He mumbled under his breath. He felt betrayed in his twisted mind by Roman, and his heart had started to beat fast over the knowledge of his boyfriend and his best friend being committed with each other.

He instantly felt irritated with himself for being so stupid to let go of Dean, and he cursed out loudly. "Fuck hell no, I'm a dumbass." He was now writhing with anger over imagining Roman being Dean's lover, and both of them living happily without even bothering about him.

"No...No...No..." He jumped out of his bed throwing the pillow away roughly over the ground. "Dean's mine...mine...you're mine baby..." He uttered incoherently while stomping his feet over the floor like a five year old kid.

Seth was a stubborn, selfish, demanding kinda guy, and now his mind had been made up to get back what he'd thought belonged to him. His boyfriend, his property, his Dean.

Roman woke up curled up with Dean under soft covers in his bed. He shifted a bit to look at Dean who was snoring softly, and he smiled as he tried to push away the fringes of hair that were falling all over Dean's beautiful face.

"Morning baby." He whispered near Dean's lips before placing a soft kiss.

Dean hummed in response as he slowly crept open his eyes. "Hmm...Morning." He pecked Roman's lips a few more time before he rolled over to check the time on his phone. "Ahh...it's already half past five. Don't you have a flight to catch at 7:30 to Pensacola?"

"I know, but we've got some time." Roman sighed hard as he moved to again cuddle up with his boyfriend. "And, I still don't feel like leaving." He pouted with a cute duckface.

Dean pulled Roman closer in his arms while running his fingers softly in his long, black, gorgeous locks. "I understand baby. But, you need to take care of your health, and get better & return stronger than ever."

"I agree. Uh...you'll help me in shower?"

"You don't have to ask babe."

Roman took the hand that Dean was offering and interlaced them as both them together made their way over to the bathroom. Once inside Dean filled the bath tub with some warm water since Roman felt like bathing in their large, spacious tub this morning.

Dean first entered the tub, and then he allowed Roman to enter making him sit in between his parted legs with his back resting on his chest. Roman leaned his head on top of Dean's right shoulder while Dean traced the outline of Roman's stitched area below his right abdomen.

"Ouch!" Roman gasped, and Dean instantly retrieved his hand off his abdomen.

"shit, sorry babe. Did I press too hard huh?"

"No, I was only kidding."

"Well, fuck you." He nudged his shoulder with Roman's pushing him a bit playfully.

"But, it tickles me there a bit."

"Here." Dean again traced that area making Roman squirm a bit.

"Stop it!" Roman swatted his lover's hand away. "Are you just gonna sit in water with me or even clean me up?"

"Okay, gotta clean you first." Dean moved a bit to pour some strawberry shower gel on the soft, wet loofa, and he slowly started to run it all over Roman's back and chest area. He squeezed the loofa to extract more shower gel along with water over Roman's back trying to massage and relax his man.

Roman loved the way Dean was soaping his entire body all the while cleaning him at the same time. When Dean had soaped Roman's entire body he soaped himself too before he moved to take care of the big business that was cleaning Roman's long, gorgeous mane.

Roman was very peculiar and careful about his hair because both he and his boyfriend were enthralled by the long mane that was such a great asset to Roman's god like beauty. Dean lathered Roman's hair with his best shampoo, and he massaged his hair softly and slowly taking his sweet time.

"Feels so good babe. Thanks for washing my hair." Roman moaned in appreciation, and Dean smiled as he whispered near his ear. "Anything for you babe. I love your hair though." Roman smiled and blushed a bit too.

After Dean had finished his handy work of washing Roman's hair they both stepped out of the tub to stand quickly in the running shower. Both Dean & Roman cleaned themselves, and Roman took some extra time using his favorite conditioner to wash his hair even better.

Dean watched as Roman washed his hair, and he gasped at the man looking just as beautiful as ever. It didn't even look like that the man just had a surgery about a day ago. Roman noticed Dean watching him, and he slowed down the water of the shower before he pulled Dean closer to his body.

"I really want you." Roman gushed but Dean just smirked at him.

"Yeah...but you know we can't right now."

Roman's face instantly fell as he looked sad, and Dean lifted his chin up to lock their eyes. "I love you and we'll get through this." Roman smiled, and before he could even say a word, Dean had already sealed their lips together.

Dean slowly first took Roman's upper pouty lip in his mouth and then the lower one before he pressed their lips a bit harder. Roman loved the way Dean slowly but passionately kissed him. Both of their lips instantly parted, and their hungry tongues rolled and curled up with each others.

Roman's tongue found his way inside Dean's mouth deepening the kiss. And, Dean locked both of his arms around Roman's waist pulling him closer while he pushed his own tongue inside his sweet tasting mouth causing both of them to moan in unison.

They kept on kissing each other for a while before they really needed oxygen to breathe. "Ahh...fuck you'll kill me with your slow kiss." Roman mouthed as he panted harder while Dean moved his mouth to place a few open mouth kisses under the crook of Roman's neck.

"I'm just trying to lay it low you know." He winked at him before capturing Roman's mouth again in an eager kiss only this time the kiss was stronger and hungrier. Roman instantly angled his head to kiss back Dean with full force, and straightaway their tongues interlocked with each other.

The kiss was hard, erotic and body melting. Roman could feel his dick spring back to life, and he knew better that he couldn't go that far now, but it seemed as if his sexy boyfriend didn't care. Dean wasn't far though as even he could feel his dick getting hard now, so he quickly pulled out of the kiss breathing hard.

"Sorry bout that." Dean wasn't regretful in any way for the kisses, but he didn't want to make it seem like he was teasing his man or something.

"You don't have to be sorry babyboy."

Dean smiled before he stepped out of shower along with his man.

Dean had ordered some big breakfast for his boyfriend who had not eaten a better thing since he'd undergone that surgery. "I'm damn hungry." Roman uttered as he licked his lips over delicious items that were was stacked upon the table. Everything there was Roman's favorite from bacon to scrambled eggs or pancakes with maple syrups and even protein milkshake.

Roman quickly started to stuff his mouth with the delicious food, and Dean just laughed at his lover. After both of their stomachs were full Dean & Roman were busy snuggling with each other over the couch, and exchanging sweet kiss when a sudden knock startled both of them.

"Oh! It maybe Jey. He's gonna drop me at the airport." Roman mentioned before he moved to open up the door.

Roman unlocked the door and his eyes instantly popped open in surprise over finding his former best friend standing in his doorway. "Hey, Roman how are ya doing?" Seth softly mumbled as he tried to peep inside to look for the man that he's been craving to see since this morning.

Roman noticed it, and he strongly stood in the doorway with his folded arms. "I'm fine, but why are you here?" His voice was a bit too rude, but he wasn't to be blamed because their former younger mate had first broken the man's heart that he loved so much, and even betrayed their friendship. But, what hurt him more now was that fact that when he was lying in the hospital just a day before, he hadn't even bothered of inquiring about his whereabouts.

"Can I talk to Dean for a minute?"

"Really, why?"

"Don't be so nosy. I need to speak with him now." Seth lost his cool as his mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of Roman stealing his man, and Roman simply raised his brow at him with disbelief.

"Okay, speak with him but if you say any goddamn awful thing to my boy then I'll break you in half." Roman warned him before he moved inside the room to inform Dean. Seth's mind again got in filtered with voices of Roman claiming Dean as his man, and now he was beyond pissed.

"Babe, Seth's here to see you." Roman watched as Dean's brows furrowed in confusion and a bit of nervousness, and that expression was a bit suspicious to him. Dean quickly got up from the couch to cover up the short distance to the doorway.

"Why the hell are you here Seth?" Dean angrily questioned him, and Seth just gave him that cute puppy dog look.

"You two were busy huh?"Seth smiled slyly and Dean frowned. He pushed him to make his way inside their room a bit, but he still stood near the opened door from where Roman could see him. "I know I'm not welcomed here, but I'd like to say thank you for last night."

Roman's brows furrowed in confusion as he wasn't aware of the little encounter that Dean & Seth had last night while Dean simply bit his lip in tension. "Yeah, it's alright." He muttered hastily under his breath.

"Oh! That's great." Seth launched himself over Dean's body throwing his arms around his neck as he hugged him tightly right in front of Roman, and now the big Samoan man was furiously mad.

Dean was confused, surprised and somewhat pissed at Seth for showing up, and he didn't even close his arms around him as his eyes got locked with his very furious boyfriend. He was now irritated too just like Roman as he pulled himself out of the forced hug. "It's okay Seth. We'll talk about that later."

"Really? Thanks. I think, I should leave now." He stated looking both at Dean & Roman simultaneously, and in his twisted mind he felt that he'd already created some necessary friction between the two love birds.

Roman was staring at Dean as he watched his lover shut the door behind the younger man. "Are you gonna tell me what the hell was that all about?" Dean could hear the anger in Roman's voice, and he stammered. "I...Uh...actually last night I rescued Seth from Orton & Kane when they were pummeling him down in a dark alley."

Roman was surprised that Dean would save Seth after all that had happen between them, but he really wasn't much shocked because even he would've done the same for his former best friend. Yet, what surprised him even more was that Dean had hidden such important information away from him.

"Now, I know why you were so shaken up last night? You had this encounter with Seth, and you hide this from me. I can't believe you did that." Roman plopped on the couch with a slow thud and complete disappointment.

Dean rushed to kneel in front of Roman as he took both of his lover's hands in his own clasping them tightly. "Baby, believe me I wanted to tell you but I just couldn't. I didn't want you to worry bout me when you just had an emergency surgery a day before. I'm seriously sorry, I..."

Dean wasn't even able to finish his sentence as he'd started to tear up bit thinking that Roman would not forgive him, and leave him alone. His heart was so damn torn after Seth had left that he just couldn't bear anymore heartbreaks.

"Hey, hey, baby." Roman pulled Dean into a hug as he'd realized that Dean's heart was just too weak to realize that such small things couldn't affect their relationship. "It's alright. I understand."

"Really?"

Roman smiled at Dean's surprised voice as he pulled out of the hug to stare at him.

"Yeah, I'm not mad at you just a bit sad."

"You're da best Roman." Dean exclaimed and kissed the Samoan man sweetly on his lips feeling totally blessed of having this amazing guy as the man in his life.

Roman sighed hard as he caressed Dean's hair. "I love you way too much to be mad at you. I hope you know that." Dean smiled, and both of them again kissed when there was another knock at the door, but this time it was actually Jey.

"Hello, uce." Jey bro hugged with Dean as he entered his room. "Hey, good to go Ro."

"Yeah."

Roman piled up his bags as Jey and Dean both helped him to get inside the cab to leave for his hometown. Dean leaned on the cab's window as he again pecked Roman's lips a few more times muttering, "I love you" and "take care" in between the kisses.

After Roman left, Dean couldn't help but think about Seth's intentions of showing up in his room like that. He was curious as well a bit mad, and now he'd made up his mind to confront the younger man before the Smackdown tapings took place tonight.
