Seth had been sick for the past week. Him and Roman got out of house shows after Seth threw up before going onto the ramp and couldn't stop. Stephanie and Hunter both sent Dean, Roman and Seth home. Dean because his knee was still sore didn't argue. Where a normal person would just go to bed and try and sleep through the being sick. Seth not so much. The first couple days yes Seth spent in bed and slept a lot. After that though he kept getting up and Roman kept sending him to bed. Often times resorting to threaten him with a spanking to get him to stay in there.

Roman sighs when he hears shuffling in Seth's room. Dean was asleep on the couch after trying to watch TV. Roman watches from the couch as Seth sneaks out of his room and Roman crosses his arms, "Seth..."

Seth bites his lip and peeks at Roman, his nose still stuffy. Seth was in one of Roman's shirt that just covers his bottom and a pair of boxers.

Roman stands up and walks over, looking down at his baby brother, "what did I say last time Seth."

Seth whispers softly, "that I would get in trouble if I kept leaving my bed without permission."

Roman nods and crosses his arms, "And why."

Seth mumbles, "I'm sick still."

Roman takes Seth by the elbow and leads him into his bedroom, "Seth you need to stay in bed so you get better."

Roman is thankful that Dean was asleep. Dean kept running interference over the last couple days which wasn't helping much. Dean would go and watch movies and play a card game with Seth, keeping him from sleeping. Dean though just was still.. after last month when his family almost broke up, honestly he was still scared Roman would give up and walk away.

Roman looks down at Seth and sits on the bed with Seth between his legs, "Seth you have a choice 10 with your paddle or 20 by my hand."

Seth sniffles and then whispers, "your hand.."

Roman nods and tips Seth's chin to look at him, "after this your going to stay in bed for the rest of the night right?"

Seth nods and whispers, "Yes Big Brother."

Roman nods and moves Seth, pulling down his boxers and putting him across his lap. After he gets Seth secure against him he then raises his hand. Seth holds onto the bed and then shrieks as Roman lands the first swat. Roman doesn't stop bringing his hand down as he counts down. Roman concentrates on covering the area evenly, hitting harder each time. Seth cries out and kicks his feet. Roman finishes and rubs Seth's back as he sobs into the bed.

When Seth calms Roman pulls him to sit safely in his lap and holds him tightly, "I'm sorry Seth but you need to rest or your going to get more sick."

Seth whimpers and nods, hiding his face in Roman's chest coughing. Roman rubs his back gently and moves laying back against the headboard letting Seth calm down. Seth cuddles close and whines, "I hate being in here alone."

Roman nods and sighs, "if you come out there, you won't sleep."

Seth peeks up at him and Roman caves at the puppy eyes.

Roman sighs, "Tomorrow if you rest tonight, I'll let you sleep on the couch."

Seth nods happily and Roman then moves, pulling the blankets back and getting Seth get into bed. Seth curls up on his side and Roman kisses his temple before leaving the room. Dean is sitting up on the couch and yawns looking at Roman, "Finally things are back to normal."

Roman looks confused.

Dean shrugs, "He was scared to get into trouble after last month and it was too quiet. I guess he couldn't stop himself after he got sick."

Roman nods, "I guess.. though I'm not going anywhere.."

Dean grins at him, "Good."

Roman nods, "you ever hit me again though and I'll take my belt to your ass."

Dean snorts and falls back on the couch, "Whatever. That one time was so worth it."

Roman rolls his eyes and then sighs when he hears Dean cough, "Go to bed Dean."

Dean groans and heads to his room, "The Brat got me sick."

Roman shakes his head, "Great... Two sick brothers."
