Roman stood before the mirror fixing his plain black silk tie. He looked flawless with his long hair tied in a neat bun and his black tuxedo with white shirt. He didn't felt like dressing up, but he had no option as he couldn't disappoint his parents on their marriage anniversary night.

It was a party for which his entire family had been planning on since last month as they all needed a small reason to get together and celebrate life and their happiness. Also his family and his parent's close friends were all excited to meet Roman's man, his lover, Dean Ambrose.

Roman couldn't believe that everything had fallen apart in last few weeks, and he couldn't blame himself enough for allowing all that to happen to him. Jey was right that he was being a pussy. He shouldn't have allowed Dean to get back with Seth only to realize that there was nothing waiting for him. No love, no life, no happiness.

But then again if he would've stopped Dean then there would've always been a doubt in Dean's mind that what if Seth was his true love? What if Roman wasn't the right choice? This "What if" was a very important issue.

And, that's why Roman had let Dean go as he wanted Dean to realize that only he was his true love.

But, now even after realizing it and more than accepting it Dean had decided to fall in a shadow of doubts and push himself further away from him rather than to come back to him. This was nothing but a really sad situation.

Roman's brain hurt whenever he thought about Dean and his heart did flip flops over the idea of losing him forever. Every inch of Roman's body, mind and soul called out for Dean as there was no one in Roman's life whom he'd loved for so long and so goddamn passionately.

"Hey, Uce!" Jey knocked at his door.

"Yeah." Roman responded from inside his room.

"You ready bro?"

"Yup, I'm."

Roman had tears traces forming in his eyes and he maintained his composure to not show it front of his brother. "Let's go." He said stepping out of his bedroom.

"Hang on a second." Jey stopped him from proceeding.

"What?"

"Did you speak with Dean?"

"Yeah."

"And?"

"And, nothing." Roman said coldly. "I mean he thinks he doesn't deserve me anymore."

"That's fucking bullshit." Jey sighed angrily. "You two are made for each other. I know that sometimes you guys bicker like old married couple but you say it on each other faces and support each other every goddamn time."

"I know it all Jey but Dean's got no faith in himself or." He paused. "In our love."

"Hey, that's not true!"

"Yes it is."

"Hey, guys." Jimmy interrupted them. "Anything serious?" He asked looking at his brother's faces.

"Umm, no." Roman answered quickly.

"Oh! Okay then. Come on down. Everyone's waiting."

All three boys made their way to the large decorated hall of the mansion. It was flooded with Roman's family comprising of his father's twin Afa and his family and kids along with many wrestling legends like Yokuzuna's family, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with his hot girlfriend Clarissa and his daughter, and Rikishi's family to name a few among others.

Roman eyed everybody and they all seemed to be having a great time chatting, laughing and having fun with their better halves. It was unreal but there was no one in that hall that was single except for him, but it was a secret that only he knew bout since everyone in his family still considered him committed to Dean.

"Hey, cous!" Dwayne called out for Roman. "What's up bro?"

"All good." Roman responded and then hugged his older cousin.

"Meet Clarissa." Dwayne showed off his beautiful girl. "And this is my handsome hunk cous Roman."

"Oh! Come on bro." Roman gushed. "Good to meet you Clarissa."

"Same here." The young lady beamed.

"Where's Dean huh?"

Roman froze on Dwayne's question as he didn't know what to reply, so he lied. "He'll be here any minute." He felt it was a better option to lead the members of his family into thinking that Dean would show up instead of breaking their hearts by revealing the reality. He could deal with the backlash later after the party was over.

"Ro, son!" Roman turned around and noticed his dad calling out for him.

"Yes, dad."

"Did you inform Dean the right time? He should've been here by now."

"I think he'll get a little late. Why don't you start the party?"

"What?"

Roman felt bad noticing the shock expression on his dad's face. "I mean you can at least cut the cake. It's getting late."

"Cut the cake without my future son in law." Sika laughed a bit. "No way, we'll wait till he shows up."

Roman then and there felt like spilling the entire truth that Dean wasn't gonna come because they broke up last week, but he held his tongue as his mother called out for his dad to chat with some of her lady friends.

The time was ticking and now Roman was surrounded by his beautiful niece Sara and nephew Joseph, and both of them were sitting on his lap. The adorable brats were his older brother Rosey's kids. "I'm dying to meet Dean." Sara, the three year old lisped.

"Me too. Uncle Ro, I've heard he's got deep dimples." Joseph mentioned innocently.

"Who told you that?"

"Mother did."

Roman sighed as it was no secret that Nena, Rosey's wife just like rest of Roman's family loved Dean. Not having Dean here right now was getting tougher and embarrassing for the Samoan man.

He hoped and prayed for the night to just get over with because every single passing second was bringing Roman closer and closer to just breaking down and letting out all of his secrets. He knew that just as he would reveal it the happy atmosphere around would soon turn into a bitter one.

"Ro, babyboy." This time Roman's mother called him and she wasn't alone as she stood near the center table with big white cake along with Mia and Sika.

"Yes, mom." Roman replied as he stood in front of her mother facing his back against the front door.

"Where's Dean my boy? Did you call him?" Pam asked in a concerned voice.

"No, his cell phone was switched off." Roman inadvertently tapped his foot hard on ground in annoyance. He was tired of lying.

"What's the matter son?" Sika questioned. "Is there anything wrong between you and Dean?"

Roman looked at his parent's face and Mia's, and they'll looked goddamn worried.

"Dad, actually." He paused looking down not being able to meet up with his parent's eyes. "I and..."

Roman wasn't even able to finish his sentence when he heard voices of people whispering a name that he could never get enough of.

"Dean..."

"Hello man, how are ya?"

"Dean's here."

In a flash of second Roman turned around to find Dean dressed up in the same black tuxedo that his mum had gifted him for the party. A wide smile appeared on Roman's face with his eyes popping up in surprise, and a hint of tear reflecting in them.

He couldn't believe that Dean was here. He didn't get much time to soak it in as the moment Dean's eyes met with him everything went blank for him. His heart stopped beating in that second and his breath hitched in the back of his throat.

And in a blink of an eye Dean quickly made his way over to him before pulling him by his neck to crash their lips together in a bold yet sweet lip lock. Everyone in the room gushed and awed in that moment. Dean immediately pulled out of the lip lock to whisper in Roman's right ear.

"I'm so sorry baby. I'm here for you. I love you."

Roman's feelings were overrated; happiness beyond the charts and what he felt in that moment was simply unexplainable.

It took him a lot of courage to not break down right then and there because everything just felt like a dream. To make sure it wasn't he pulled Dean into another kiss only this was a bit longer and filled with passion, craving and his deepest desires.

Many cat calls and whistles were thrown in their way, but nothing could stop the boys as they were lost in each other up until Roman's dad coughed loudly standing next to the boys.

"Ahem, lord!" Sika looked amazed as he watched his boys finally part away with blush creeping on both of their cheeks. "You two can't steal the spotlight from me & your mum on our anniversary night. Alright!"

Roman & Dean both laughed along with his parents and everyone in the hall. "Here, dad and mum." Dean handed a beautiful blue colored wrapped gift box to Roman's parents.

"Ahh...what's this?"

"Just a small gift mum."

Sika and Pam opened it to be find matching couple wrist watches. "It's beautiful." Pam exclaimed. "Indeed it is" Sika agreed.

"Roman and I picked up last month for you guys." Dean informed them and Roman simply smiled at him.

Soon everyone gathered around the cake table and Sika along with Pam cut the large cake before feeding each other. Pam handed Roman a piece of cake which he first fed to Dean before he ate the rest of it.

After a while Roman smiled at the scene of Dean getting mauled with his cousins, nieces and nephews who were all just a little bit excited to talk to him. He watched as Dean sat on the couch with everyone throwing their ridiculous jokes, flirty comments and embarrassing questions at him.

"Who tops the most?" Dwayne asked Dean patting on his shoulder.

"Gosh, I love your slicked back hairstyle brother." Mia chimed.

"Tell me bout some of your cool date nights?" Rosey questioned squeezing Dean's arm.

Dean tried his best to respond back with some of his witty yet funny remarks.

It went on for a while before Jey asked Roman to go over to Dean and have a serious conversation with him. The guys needed it as just the visibility of love wasn't important but justification was too.

"Hey, if you guys don't mind." Roman interrupted his gang of family members. "Can I borrow Dean for a few minutes?"

Dean stared at Roman's gorgeous grey eyes and before anyone's approval he'd already stood up to interlace his hands with his man. "Sure." Nonetheless everyone answered in their chorus voice.

They entered the nearby Roman's dad study room. As soon as Roman had locked the door Dean had caught him off guard with a loving lip lock. "Gosh, I missed you." Dean moved to kiss Roman's temple.

"You've got no idea Dean." Roman's voice broke up a bit. "I missed you so much."

Dean stared at Roman's tearful grey eyes. "I'm terribly sorry baby. I can never forgive myself for pushing you away."

"No, Dean. It was needed."

"Really?"

"Yes. Otherwise you'd never know what you'd lost in me."

"How come you've always got the best answers?" Dean commented, and Roman sheepishly smiled at him. "I mean I nearly killed myself entire morning thinking whether I should come here tonight or not because I wasn't sure that I deserved you anymore."

"Dean, it's not about deserving baby." Roman caressed the back of Dean's head. "It's about love. Our love's real."

"Yes, it is."

"Took you long enough to realize though."

"Oh, I took just a week you know."

"A week, huh?" Roman smacked Dean's arm hard. "I was like a fish out of the water. I couldn't breathe without thinking about you." He felt tears again forming in his eyes. "I cried every night, you ass hole!" He playfully slapped at Dean's face, and Dean just moved a bit away from him in order to save himself from all the slapping & smacking.

"Woah! Hold on big man." Dean's stood in front of Roman holding his hands up in air in submission. "I cried too every goddamn day and night." Roman just huffed folding his arms. "I promise to never ever leave you again for anybody. I mean I can't even if I tried." His voice dropped a few tones turning into a heavy emotional one. "Because I'm deeply, madly and passionately in love with you."

"Really?"

"Yes, babe. Now will you do me a favor and forgive your asshole?"

Roman was overwhelmed by Dean's charming attitude like always, and although he'd thought that Dean would never ever come out of his self doubting phase, but he'd surprised him by coming here and accepting his mistakes along with proclaiming his love.

It made Roman's heart flutter with happiness that not only Dean loved Roman but he also believed in their love.

Dean's promise meant everything to him as Dean wasn't the type to promise to anyone anything. It was so out of character yet it felt so right in that moment.

"Are you having any second thoughts?" Dean asked with a sad voice with gleam on tears showing in his eyes.

"No, silly." Roman shook his head and shut his eyes allowing the tears to fall and roll down his cheeks. "I love you so much that I'll forgive you a million times."

"You don't have to." Dean moved closer to Roman not caring bout the tears that were wetting his own cheeks. "I'll never hurt you ever again." He wiped Roman's tears off his face while Roman did the same to him. "I'm yours. You're the reason of my happiness and you're the reason that I feel alive baby."

"Oh! Dean. I can't even tell you how much you mean to me." Roman locked is arms around Dean's neck pulling him closer. "I love you so much baby."

"I love you too." Dean whispered while wrapping his arms around Roman's waist and latching their lips together.

Dean's soft lips moved over Roman's and their mouth opened and closed with every kiss before locking in a passionate one. Roman's mouth completely covered Dean's with their tongues rolling and gliding against each other.

Dean's heart was beating rapidly as he still couldn't believe that not only Roman had accepted his apology but he had also welcomed him back in his life. To Dean Roman wasn't just a man that he loved, but he was the man that he couldn't live without.

Roman sucked at Dean's lower pouty lip before softly biting at it trying to convey the lust and passion that he felt for his man. They were both running out of breath but they still kept on kissing each other with heated intensity and love that they felt for each other.

Finally Dean ended their kiss after a long lasting peck on Roman's lips. Both of them were heavily breathing but they were very eager to again lock their lips. They just couldn't get enough of each other. After spending nearly an entire week in traumatic situation of losing one another they really needed this kiss of solace.

As another feverish kiss began between Roman & Dean both of them could feel their dicks growing hard from their hot action. And, even though they were at the party and needed to behave themselves yet their bodies failed to agree since both men clearly wanted each other in that moment.

Roman was the first to pull out of the kiss to place soft open mouth peck on Dean's temple, cheeks and his chin. He moved his mouth closer to Dean's ear running his wicked tongue at his ear lobe. "Baby, I want you."

"Yeah, me too." Dean growled and pushed Roman's back hard on the closed door while pressing his body roughly against his. He then engaged Roman in an open mouth all tongues no lips messy kiss when they heard a loud bang at the door.

"Boys, you can get it on later." Sika announced. "Right now I'm gonna make a toast. Come outside in a minute."

Both the boys were pretty reluctant but they made their way out of Sika's study room not at all embarrassed of their acts. Everybody was sitting in the hall facing Sika and Pam who were sitting on the couch together. Sika raised his champagne filled glass and looked at his wife. "To my beautiful wife, Pam."

Everyone raised their glasses with happiness and greeted the long lasting couple. "I need to say something." Sika mentioned to his family members. "I'm expected to tell this story every year of how happy we are with each other and how Pam had changed my life, but today I'm gonna talk bout the hardships of our relationship."

Roman's brow got raised just like everyone else's in the room. "I had dated Pam for over four years before I went wrestling. And once I did, I got lost in my life so much that I had no time at all to spend with her. And, then I met this hot chick and I mean really hot chick." Pam quickly smacked at Sika's thigh.

"Sorry honey, but she wasn't hotter than you." He smiled at Pam. "Anyways I was saying that I met this pretty hot and very athletic girl. And I thought wow she's really cool. I obviously fell for her and separated from your mom for over two months. Naturally Pam was angry at me and she had every right too, but she never cursed me nor asked me to come back. I thought that she didn't love me so she'd let me go. But I was wrong."

He again looked at Pam before he interlaced their hands. "I realized that she let me go because she loved me so much that she just wanted me to be happy. And, even though it took me two months I realized that Pam's the one not this other girl. I got down on my knees and begged for forgiveness, and she accepted me back. Not because she felt sorry for me, but because she never stopped loving me."

"So kids and my lovely folks." Sika smiled looking at everyone. "Nothing can hold the real love away and if you love someone truly then you'll forgive them. We're humans and we make mistakes, but once you realize that you're wrong then don't have any second thoughts. Come back and get your love. After all love conquers all." He winked and everyone started to smile & laugh.

"And, Roman & Dean I see that same tough yet the realest love in you two." Sika watched as Dean interlaced his hand with Roman. "I hope that someday when you two get married you sit here and tell your kids these stories on your anniversary."

"Oh! Dad." Roman replied with a shy smile forming on his face and he knew that maybe his parent's had guessed the friction between him Dean, and that's why his dad had shared his personal life story with them. "We're just dating now."

"But, I like how your dad thinks." Dean looked directly into Roman's eyes. "I hope that we get there one day."

Roman smiled before he kissed Dean. "Me too baby."
