To say that Roman was angry was an understatement. Next morning Roman woke up before his normal time and all because he couldn't switch his mind off from replaying Seth's over the top love messages that were sent by him to none other than his boyfriend, his man, Dean.

Roman now understood as to why Dean had been behaving cut off and to some extent disturbed when he'd arrived yesterday. He felt gravely hurt due to Dean not revealing him about Seth's actions, but then he couldn't blame his man entirely.

It wasn't like Roman wasn't aware that Dean had always kept his happiness in front of his own. Roman realized that Dean had only wanted to save him from the heart break and anger that would burst out of him on finding bout Seth's horrible behaviour.

Roman was an intelligent man, and so he'd decided that instead of confronting his man and fighting him over Seth's stupidity it was better to confront that weasel himself that was causing some major problem to his man's life as well their relationship.

It was now Monday evening and for the past two days since Dean had been performing on live shows Roman had accompanied him and maintained his silence over Seth's situation.

He could read his boyfriend expression of tension and fear every time his phone buzzed. Most of the times Dean would just switch off his phone, but then due to work hazards he had to switch it on back only to find a cluster fuck of calls & messages again freaking him out.

Roman badly wanted to comfort his man without questioning and arguing with him, so he engaged him in more than diverting sexual acts. Roman had made love to Dean nonstop anytime he found his boyfriend to be low or depressed. He'd even given his man a series of gross, passionate and heavy make out sessions just before Dean was supposed to go out & perform for the crowd.

It was needless to say that all this extra love & sex had made Dean to be one happy man. Dean didn't suspect his man actions quite simply because he was enjoying their moment together since they'd been apart from each other for a long time.

It was quarter to four in the evening and today Dean & Roman both were scheduled to be on the Raw show in Brooklyn, New York. Roman had been contacted to record an interview related to his recovery while Dean was in for some fun & entertaining acts for the tonight's show.

Dean was putting on his belt of his denim jeans, and Roman was all dressed up lying lazily on the bed while busy staring at his man. "You look so handsome babe."

Roman's comment made Dean smile sheepishly. "What do you want?"

"Why do you think I want something?" Roman questioned him as he pulled Dean by his arm making him sit on the bed. "Can't I just give you a simple compliment?"

"You can." Dean looked right into Roman's smoky grey eyes. "But, you always praise the fuck outta me when you want something."

Roman instantly broke their eye contact to pull at the collar of Dean's t-shirt. "Umm...will you attend my parent's anniversary party?"

"When is it?" Dean asked dryly.

"Two weeks from now." Roman's eyes met up with Dean's again, and he could see the resentment on his face. "You don't have to if you don't feel like it."

Dean watched him silently, and Roman again looked down this time locking their hands while playing with Dean's fingers. Roman knew that Dean had grown in a family that had been everything but loving to him. Dean's parents were the first people who'd broken his heart and left him alone to struggle in this brutal world.

So, it was quite natural that Dean had grown out to be a bit reluctant to celebrate any kind of family festivities or meetings. Roman understood it, but he really wanted to use this party as an excuse for Dean to meet his entire family & personal friends.

"I'll attend the party with you babe."

Dean's announcement had pulled Roman out of his deep thoughts. "Really babyboy? You want to?" He asked excitedly.

"Yeah, you're parents have been nicer to me than my own parents. And, I must not disappoint them." Dean interlaced their hands tightly, and Roman quickly pulled him into a sweet kiss.

"Love you so much." Roman exclaimed breaking the kiss momentarily before again kissing Dean only this time the kiss was longer and passionate.

Seth had been anxiously waiting for Dean in the backstage area with his authority officials Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble. He kept on glancing at the door for Dean to arrive while carelessly going through his promo script.

After a few minutes had passed, Seth was still busy reading his script when he heard the Usos twins and Naomi screaming and whistling loudly in happiness. He quickly looked up to notice Dean entering into the arena along with Roman while holding hands.

Suddenly Seth felt like air had been sucked out of his system and he felt nauseating. The abrupt realization of Dean & Roman being a couple hit him like a ton of bricks. He watched them with squinted eyes as tears had already started to boil in the corner of eyes.

"Hey, Uce! How ya feeling?" Jimmy asked Roman, but even before he could answer Jey had interrupted him.

"Obviously he's doing well. Can't you see doctor Dean is with him?"

"Oh! I see. What kinda drugs did doc Dean has prescribed you Ro?"

"Something like big bag of dicks perhaps."

"Uh..stop it you two." Roman groaned and playfully smacked both of his cousin's arms while Naomi laughed along with Dean.

Dean swung an arm around Naomi as he teased his man. "You guys are damn right. Roman's like a rampant rabbit these days."

"Shut up Dean!" Roman pulled at Dean's cheeks while poking at his dimples.

"Stop it!" Dean warned him with a smile creeping on his face.

"Or what? You gonna do something?" Roman challenged him.

And the next thing he knew was Dean pulling him into a surprise full open mouth kiss in front of everyone. More cat calls and whistles had started to come their way from every single wwe superstar, diva or worker. Dean pulled out of the kiss and an instant blush crept on Roman's flawless face.

"Damn you Dean. There are people watching."

"I don't care. You care?"

"Umm...nope!"

Both of them started to laugh and Naomi & Usos just watched them in shock. Seth too watched them while inhaling & exhaling hard in anger. This can't be happening? He thought. "Dean's mine!" He mumbled under his breath before he stormed off the scene.

Roman noticed him walking away and he realized that he had a tough night ahead in confronting a man who was not only his boyfriend's former lover and his best friend, but the man was practically obsessed in getting Dean back.

Roman had finished taping his promo while Dean had gone filming the part where he had to board the Q train to Coney Island. There was still plenty of time left for the show to get started, and Roman watched Seth entering Triple H's makeshift office.

He quickly followed him, and waited a few moments before he knocked at the door. Triple h was busy with all his authority mates discussing bout the show, so Roman was sure that Seth would have to be alone in there.

"Come in." Seth's voice came from inside, and Roman slowly entered the room.

At first Seth didn't see him as he was busy wetting his hair, but once he flipped his hair up his eyes instantly went wide open with shock. "Oh! How are ya Roman? What brings you here?"

Roman noticed the mocking tone in Seth's voice. "I'm fine. But, I really want to ask you that why are you harassing my boyfriend?" He directly questioned him while folding his arms in the process.

"Excuse me?"

"Please Seth answer me. Why the hell are you calling and texting all those love messages to my man?"

"Your man!" Seth spoke in a surprised tone. "You're pathetic if you think that."

"What da fuck do you mean?"

Seth noticed the clenching of Roman's jaw but he wasn't scared a bit. He should have been considering Roman was twice his size and stronger than him, but something pushed him to stand tall. He wasn't in his right mind since watching that love display between Dean & Roman earlier, so now he just wanted to play & hurt the Samoan man.

"Listen Roman. I'm gonna be straight with you. I love Dean and I want him back."

"You can't have him back." Roman uttered in disgust. "You left him heartbroken, hurting and..."

"And literally pushed him to the dark blah..blah...bullshit." Seth rudely interrupted him. "He's mine, and you can't have him."

"Are you even hearing to yourself Seth?" Roman was pissed. "Dean doesn't want you."

"Oh! Really. Didn't felt like it when he was hurling his body on top of mine last week." Seth noticed the hint of surprise & hurt on Roman's face, and he'd realized that Roman wasn't aware of their actual act. "We would've actually gone all the way if it wasn't for your stupid voicemail."

Roman felt his head spin with various questions and hurtful emotions, but there was still a ray of hope in his heart that maybe Seth had tricked & forced Dean into giving in as Dean was quite vulnerable since their feud had reignited last month.

"Yet, he still didn't answer your calls or your messages. Maybe you aren't that impressive like you think you are!" Roman spat.

"Shut the fuck up!" Seth cursed in frustration. "If I want then I can easily break you little charade of relationship. And, maybe then you'll know how impressive I'm."

Roman laughed at Seth's adamant nature, and he eyed him with scrutiny. "You shit on our relationship when you weren't the most perfect couple either."

"What the hell do you mean by that?"

"You came on to me on more than one occasion while you were still in a relationship with Dean."

Seth breathed harder over that revelation as he'd never expected Roman to even bring this up. "I was just drunk at those times."

"No, you were not. You hit on me and flirted all the time, but if it wasn't for me pushing you back then you would've even allowed me to fuck you."

"That's not true. You're just making shit up." Seth turned his back against Roman.

Seth loved Dean, but since the day Seth & Roman had become tag team champions last year the younger man had started to feel for his new tag team partner. Often Seth would give into his lust and tried to pull Roman to give in as well, but the Samoan man resisted because he couldn't betray Dean's trust.

He couldn't bear to hurt Dean simply because he cared about their friendship, and he was a better man. Roman had called Seth out on his behavior trying to make the younger man understand that he shouldn't cheat on his loving boyfriend, and thankfully Seth had listened to him at that time.

"Tell me Seth. You really love Dean when you were trying to get in bed with me last year. I don't think so." Roman swirled around Seth forcing him to face him. "Tell me now." He demanded.

"I'm stupid alright!" He snapped moving away from Roman to lean on the wall facing him. "I hated the attention that you gave to Dean. I was jealous of both of your closeness. Sure Dean was my boyfriend, but he was closer to you on another level."

"Are you now spoiling my relationship because I rejected you?" Roman questioned him further.

"No, because I love Dean." Seth confessed to him.

"I never said that you didn't, but now the love is gone." Roman didn't want to be harsh with his former best friend because there were just too many of their happy friendship memories flooding his mind, so he tried to stay calm.

"Then you must be really happy now. Aren't you?"

"What?"

"You've wanted Dean for so long and now after my stupid mistake of breaking up with him, it became easier for you to weasel your way in between us." Seth huffed. "Congrats on your success!" He mockingly clapped for him.

Roman felt his blood boiling as Seth had completely taken his true love for Dean and turned it around into a scheming shit. "You think that I planned for all this. You left him first and I didn't weasel my way. Dean fell for me on his own."

"I don't fucking believe you. He loved me like crazy and he couldn't forget me so easily. You forced him to forget me." Seth accused him.

Roman closed his eyes shut as he felt his fist clench slowly and watching him a fickle of terror ran through Seth's body. "You're such an asshole Seth. You threw Dean out of your life like a piece of trash, and then I had to pick up those pieces and mend the man. But, this is the treatment that I'm getting. He loved you before, but doesn't anymore."

"You're wrong Ro. He only loves me, and you just watch. He'll leave you and come crawling back to me."

"You seem very confident."

"Yes, because Dean still loves me, and he only used you for some support. You're nothing more than a fall out plan to him."

That sting hard, very hard. Of all the arguments and hurtful stuff that they threw at each other. This completely ripped the Samoan man from inside as Roman's previous lover named Troy Davis who was the captain of his college football team for which he'd played years ago had once used him.

Troy's boyfriend had left him high & dry, and so he'd approached Roman after a few days claiming to love him. But little had he known then that the man was just using him as a rebound. After a month of their relationship when George, his team mate who happened to be Troy's former lover had begged him to accept him back, then Troy hadn't even cared about poor Roman's feelings as he'd left him to reunite with his lover.

Seth had knowingly made that reference because at any cost he wanted to create differences between Dean & Roman. He would stoop to any level to create some necessary suspicions in Roman's mind which would only make his task easier. "Have some self respect Ro. Aren't you tired of being a rebound?"

A single tear slipped down Roman's cheeks as he felt emotionally weak, and now for the first time in months he wasn't sure bout his relationship with Dean. He was attacked by a sudden thrust of emotions & questions in his mind.

Dean came to me only after Seth left. He doesn't love me like I do. Am I just a rebound for him? He never even told me bout his encounters with Seth. Maybe he wants him back, but I'm just in their way.

"Roman you gotta understand that Dean & I belong together. You're just a phase in his life." Seth felt a bit bad watching his former friend tear away, but he had to be nasty here in order to get his man back without whom he felt nothing but lost these days.

Roman wiped away the tears as suddenly something dawned at him. Seth had rejected Dean for over a million times since their break up while every time breaking his heart even more badly, but now suddenly he wanted Dean back. Something was fishy!

"Can I ask you something Seth?" Roman uttered softly.

"Yes, go ahead." Seth replied nonchalantly.

"Would you have wanted Dean back if I wasn't with him?"

Seth froze in that moment as something true and very dirty about his nature came out. Seth was very competitive person, and as soon as he'd known from Dean that he had a boyfriend in Roman, he'd been nothing but jealous. As sad as it was but Seth had only felt the need to get Dean back earlier than he'd planned to because he was just jealous of their relationship.

Seth surely had plans to get back with Dean but only when he became the wwe champion, and as sure as he was that a nutcase like Dean wouldn't land with someone, yet he was proven wrong. He was therefore forced to approach Dean before time otherwise Dean would've gone far away from his reach.

"It doesn't matter." Seth proudly responded. "I & Dean will get back together, and there's nothing that you can do about it."

"I'm not gonna stop Dean." Roman sighed in defeat, and Seth's brows got raised. "If he wants you back then I'll step out from your way."

Seth watched him in shock as Roman quickly made his way out of the room. He didn't think bout anything before he picked up his luggage from the men's locker room, and drove alone back to his hotel room.

Seth has hurt Roman. But will this help him to get Dean back? I love reading each & every review. Thank you so much for reading and all the reviews. It really motivates me to update soon.
