The light creeped into the big window on Dean's side of the bed, the sun flashed in Roman's eyes as they crept open. He yawned, seeing Dean's perfectly sculpted back in his direct peripheral vision. He smiled to himself, biting his lip as he started to think about last night. The way Dean watched him as he sucked his dick, his facial expressions right before he came and then their overly intense make out session which pretty much lasted over an hour. All of it was sexy and fun, but the best part of the night was when they stayed up afterwards, getting to know each other. He liked the fact that he could make Dean smile so easily, and Dean's funny side was something he'd definitely have to get used too. His light kisses in between conversations still lingering on Roman's lips, even now as he woken up to a brand new day. He was so happy, that was weird for him since well, after Randy he was sorta miserable. Roman smiled to himself then kissed Dean's shoulder before he made his way downstairs to start making breakfast for him. He entered the kitchen and saw Sami sitting there eating some cereal. Roman's lips quirked into a side smile seeing some milk in his friend's beard. He laughed low, and kissed his best friend's forehead then walked to the fridge.

"Look at you." Sami chuckled, noticing Roman smile. He knew Roman for along time and Roman wasn't a morning person. So he realized there had to be another other reason that Roman woke up so damn happy. "Someone got laid last night." as soon as Sami said it, Roman narrowed his eyes at him, taking about 4 eggs out of the container.

"I didn't get laid, shut up." He turned away so Sami couldn't see his reddened cheeks or his small smile getting even bigger than it already was.

"Yeah you did, maybe not all the way but, you and your boy toy definitely did something last night. I can tell by the look on your face. Plus you're never happy in the morning." Sami scooped more of his cereal.

"Morning's suck." Roman defended.

"Apparently so do you." Sami laughed at his friend.

Roman laughed too, shaking his head at Sami's comments. "So i'm right, right? Something did happen last night?"

Roman bit his lip, looking at his kitchen cabinets. He sighed, then turned around, his back hitting the counter as he looked at Sami. "Okay maybe we did stuff, we didn't have... sex-sex though."

"Sex-sex? Oh my god Roman are we in middle school? Did you get to third base?" Sami replied with a laugh.

"You know what?" Roman picked up the box of pancake mix and tossed it at him. Of course Sami just caught it, then put it on the dining table. "Shut up, Sam, okay this is hard enough to talk about... with you."

"Why? I used to hear about how deep Randy was inside of you all the time."

Roman blushed at that, sucking in his lips as he walked over to sit with Sami. "Because, Dean and you are similar. You're both straight men who want to know what it's like to be with a guy. Randy was different, he was gay we both were gay."

"Do you honestly believe that Dean is this straight guy only looking to hook up?"

Roman shrugged at that. "I dunno maybe? I mean, after i blew him..." Roman could see Sami's cheeks get red. And he was leaning in to hear him better. "...We talked all night long."

"About what?" Sami asked, curiously.

"Everything and nothing. I dunno he just likes to talk and he has this weird sense of humor which is so funny yet not at the same time."

Sami could see Roman try to hide his smile. "I dunno Sam.. I'm afraid."

"Of?"

"What if he just wants me for my body?"

"Rome. Do you like him?" Sami was starting to worry about Roman. He always did this, he fell for guys who were emotionally unavailable. Even Sami was a victim of it. Even though they were just in high school and Sami didn't want to admit it, he fell for Roman then. He never got a chance to tell him, he didn't want to hurt Roman more than he already did years ago.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just having fun. It's no strings attached." Roman got up and Sami followed him to the stove.

"Roman. I don't want this for you." Sami softly turned Roman around and held onto his waist. Roman however refused to meet his gaze. "I want you to fall for a guy who wants to be with you. A guy who isn't looking to just to experiment. Preferably someone who also likes guys... Hey..." Sami forced Roman to look him in the eyes now. "Don't you want that too?"

Roman quietly nodded. He did want that, he wanted love, he just always looked for it in all the wrong places. But was Dean a wrong place? "It's just two more weeks. Two more and he's off back to college in his hometown. I can handle this, it's just a summer fling, just believe in me please?"

Sami nodded, putting his hands on Roman's face gently, feeling Roman hold on to his hands. "Fine, but i want you to promise me something.."

"Anything." Roman quickly agreed for his friend.

"Don't fall in love with him? Promise?"

Roman gave off a pained look, filled with emotion as he looked back into Sami's eyes. He could do this. He could do it for Sami. It's not like he was falling for Dean anyway...

Right?

"I promise."

As soon as they pulled away, Dean came downstairs in just his boxers. He smiled at Sami then casually kissed Roman's lips as he opened the fridge. Dean took out a strawberry and bit into it, looking at Roman and Sami at the same time.

"Hey guys, everything is all cool here? You guys seem tense." Dean took out a water and started drinking it, only to see Roman smile at him.

"We're fine." He concluded, looking at Sami for confirmation.

"Perfectly fine." Sami added.

"Cool. So... " Dean turned to lean against the counter now, finishing off his strawberry.

"...Who's ready for some white party?"

"Doesn't Nikki look so hot in that pink dress?" Seth asked Dean as they walked to the Breeze's summer mansion. Roman and Sami were ahead of them, talking about something and Dean was trying his best not to let jealousy get the best of him.

"Yeah, i mean she's hot, why?" Dean asked, his eyes still on the back of Roman's head.

"I'm so going to fuck her tonight." Seth's face was bright red as he started imagining it. Dean's eyes left Roman now to give Seth an accusing side eye.

"Is that all you think about? What happened to wanting to know her before you guys fucked again and all that crap you were spewing before we came out here?"

Seth shrugged, "She's wild okay, we had sex all night, i never met someone like her. She's crazy and makes me crazy. I just wanna fuck her all the time. My dick feels at home inside of her. I... think I'm in love dude." Seth smiled, putting his arm around Dean's shoulders.

"You're not in love you idiot, you're in lust." Dean pushed him playfully, then adjusted his eyes back to Roman. "If you were really in love you wouldn't need sex to fill the void of you two never actually getting to know each other. Sex isn't everything dude, and until you stopped putting your dick in her. You won't know for sure."

"Eh, what do you know-" Seth's train of thought was cut off as his eyes followed Dean's as they looked at Roman. His hands were wrapped around Sami's waist as he and Sami laughed about something. He saw Dean's jaw clench, and his fist uncurl. "Dean, you okay?" Seth asked, trying to console his friend.

"Yeah. I am. I just wish he didn't touch him like that you know?" Dean kept looking and saw that Sami's wife Brie was starting to notice as well. She moved over and took Sami's hand, taking him away from Roman. Dean watched as Roman looked at him finally, biting his lip.

"He may touch that dude a certain way, but you're the only one he's giving sex eyes too." Seth told him, nudging Dean and he and Roman locked eyes.

"Shut up. Let's party." Dean smiled at Roman, then pulled Seth in as the made it inside the mansion. The party was in full swing once they got there, everyone seemed to be having a great time, drinks were flowing and the music was pumping. Dean must've been mistaken, because he thought this was a formal dinner of some sort but it seemed like a college party, except with a lot more rich kids.

He had lost Roman in the crowd somewhere, Seth too, but he quickly found his friend making out with Nikki in a corner. He looked through the party, trying to see where Roman had gone when he bumped into someone.

"Shit, sorry dude." Dean said, looking at the big guy he bumped into. He noticed him before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Hey, I remember you, you're Dean right?" The guy said, smiling warmly at him. Through the loud music Dean actually heard him and he nodded his answer.

"Yeah i am ummm.. Why do i remember your face?" Dean was screaming but it was coming out in normal tone because of the music.

"I'm John. Randy's boyfriend. We met at the restaurant because our current boyfriend's had a little bit of a standoff." John talked into Dean's ear and Dean nodded knowingly.

"Oh right, yeah. Hey dude. I remember now. Have you seen Roman by any chance?" Dean asked and John shook his head no.

"Nope i haven't but, how about instead of chasing him, you come dance with me?" John's smile was sweet and it looked friendly. Admittedly if Dean did have a type of guy, he knew John wouldn't be it. But he seemed lonely and god knew where Randy was, so he nodded and said yes, following John onto the dance floor.

"I'd knew i'd find you!" Tyler said to Roman as Roman got him and Dean a drink. He always hated Tyler's house because it was like a fucking maze. Plus, Tyler was always hitting on him, even though Roman was never interested. He went for scuffy guys more often than not and Tyler was more clean, and crisp. He couldn't take a hint either, it was embarrassing.

"Hey Ty, I'm just getting some beer." Roman tried his best to maneuver out of Tyler's way but damnit the little blonde was fast.

"Romie. What's this little rumor i hear about you dating the gay straight guy?" Tyler asked, crossing his arms in front of him.

"Who the fuck told you that?" Roman cursed as he asked the question. He already knew who told him. Fucking Randy.

"A little birdie told me you're plucking from the forbidden fruit. Romie Rome. You do know that he'll just break your big samoan heart right?" Tyler eased up on him. "Unlike me, who is always ready for some... backdoor fun?" Tyler tried to move closer but Roman slipped out of his embrace quickly.

"Erm. No thanks. See you around Ty." Roman ran out of there as soon as possible. Fuck, if Randy was at this fucking party he was going to ring his fucking neck. Who the hell was he to go around spreading his personal business to every gay guy in their inner fucking circle?

Roman shook it off for now and looked around the sea of people trying to find out where Dean had gone. He knew he shouldn't of left him alone and he was probably going to have to make it up to him later, but right now he just wanted to find him. He looked outside and saw a couple of people slow dancing, and he smiled, thinking about doing that with Dean later. But then he saw it. Dean was out there, dancing with John Cena. He had to laugh because Dean looked so uncomfortable and as soon as he locked eyes with Roman, he let Cena go and made his way to him.

"Ro, hey yeah, Don't ever leave me again." Dean grabbed the beer out of Roman's hand and drunk it down in about two seconds.

"Thirsty?" Roman laughed.

"Muthafuckin parched." Dean said back.

"I saw you dancing with Cena, having fun?"

"No. Okay i was being nice ya know? But he can't dance to save his life. I think that's the first time i ever danced with a guy too and it was wasted on a dude with two left feet. Shame." Dean looked at him and Roman smiled, biting down on his bottom lip gently.

"I wanna show you something." Roman said, taking Dean hand and leading him up the stairs of the maze. He made it to the very top of the mansion, opening the doors to reveal a beautiful balcony. It overlooked the beach, and the stars. It was a beautiful sight, Dean had to admit.

"This is beautiful." Dean told him, turning to fully face Roman now. They could hear slow music still playing from downstairs, and Dean felt Roman pull him in close, their bodies flush against each other.

"Dance with me." Roman asked as his forehead pressed against Dean's. Dean nodded, and started moving along with Roman to the faint sound of music. He smiled as he felt Roman squeeze his sides, and his cheeks reddened once he felt soft lips connect with his collar bone. Roman pulled away, only slightly to spin Dean around, causing him to laugh as they embraced once more. They smiled at each other as their fingers connected, then their eyes. Gray ones bore in blue, and Dean could feel his heart pounding in his chest.

"You drive me crazy." Dean smiled, pecking Roman's lips softly.

As he saw blue eyes gazing at him, Roman couldn't help but hear Sami's voice in the back of his head, begging Roman not to fall for Dean. He was right, in many aspects, the first being that Dean was straight and the second being the time limit. It was stupid to think that he wouldn't get to see those eyes again after two weeks was up. It was stupid to think that Dean felt the same way he felt.

"You're thinking about something. I can tell." Dean wrapped his arms around Roman's waist and kissed him near the crook of his neck. That one kiss, however chaste it was made Roman feel like his body was on fire. It shouldn't be that easy, Dean shouldn't have a hold on him already. Not like this. Dean kissed his cheek and that was it for Roman, he grabbed the other man's face and kissed Dean hard, like he was trying to imprint on him, keep him in his memory. He wanted this man, he wanted Dean badly. Their tongues swirled together, leaving Dean breathless as the hold on his face softened, and one of Roman's hands dropped to circle Dean's waist. He brought him in closer, impossibly close so that their bodies were flush against each other. Roman drank from his lips like he was starving. They tasted so good, he tasted so good. Like sweet whiskey, and beer mixed with something that was lingering. It was him, Dean's natural taste, and it tasted glorious.

They stayed like that, making out under the stars, the sway of the waves in the water could softly be in heard in the background, soft moans elicted from Dean's lips as Roman's hands roamed, cupping his firm asscheeks, giving them a nice squeeze. They pulled away, only so that Dean could breathe, foreheads pressing against each other again as they panted, eyes closed, a lingering of want and desire still laid in the air.

"I think that might be the best kiss i've ever had." Dean said to him, his blue eyes now watching Roman watch him. He could see Roman was thinking about something, or maybe overthinking, he didn't really know. "Ro, you okay?" Dean asked, his pale fingers grabbing the ends of Roman's shirt, pulling him even closer.

"I.." Roman could feel his heart pound in his chest, this can't be happening, his mind kept saying. It was too soon. He didn't even know him, he didn't even... No. Roman thought. He pulled away, wiping his lips. He wasn't going to do this to himself again. Sami was right, he couldn't fall for another straight guy. He wouldn't do it.

Not ever again.

"I'm perfect." He could feel the lie leave his lips like it was nothing. "I just think we've been up here a little too long. Let's go back downstairs and have fun." Roman looked at him, and Dean could see all the emotions hidden behind his eyes, a pained face that was full of regret. Was it because of him?

"Ro?" Dean whispered, but Roman didn't say anything else, he just left Dean there on the balcony, alone with just him and the stars.

Roman couldn't breathe. He found the kitchen through the maze once more and decided to start taking shots. It burned but he couldn't feel it, the last thing he wanted right now was to feel anything at all. Fuck. Why was his heart doing this? He was so sure that after Randy he was numb to feelings. But now, now... his fucking heart was screaming at him. While Sami's words stayed in his head. He felt cool hands on his shoulder and he prayed it wasn't Dean. If it was he couldn't stop himself from the urge to kiss him, protect him.. love him.

"Rome." Thank god, it was Sami. Roman turned around, breathing in and out heavily. Sami knew what that meant. He knew what Roman needed. He took Roman's hand and led him outside where hardly anyone was. It was just them, the beach and the stars.

"Fuck, Sami. i can't breathe." Roman looked at Sami and he found himself in Sami's arms, looking into his warm and inviting eyes. He felt his strong hands on his face, calming him slowly. Only Sami could do this. Only he could make Roman stop thinking about Dean for a little while.

"Rome, shh. It's okay." Sami pulled him in closer and kissed Roman's forehead softly. He felt Roman relax up under him, he knew he was starting to become okay again.

"What am i going to do? I can't be falling for him. I only known him for two stupid weeks and a couple of days. What the hell is wrong with me Sam? Why am i so damn naive and stupid? Why do i let men do this to me?" Roman's eyes were watering, and Sami could see a hug wasn't going to do the trick this time around. Roman kept ranting about how he was stupid and dumb for liking Dean, and Sami wanted it to stop. He shouldn't be saying these types of things, especially when Sami knew otherwise. He wiped his tear that was falling off Roman's cheek and Roman sniffled, looking up into Sami's eyes. They shared a certain look before Sami leaned down and without warning, kissed Roman softly.

It surprised Roman at first, he hasn't felt the taste of Sami's lips since high school, so he didn't kiss him back, but Sami's lips were soft and he felt his love pour into the kiss. His protection. It was Sami's way of taking care of him, the only way he knew how. Their lips parted and Roman found himself giving in and kissing Sami back, a married man, his best friend, the first guy he's ever been in love with.

Dean was searching everywhere for Roman, he wanted to know what was up with him, why did he just leave like that after that fantastic kiss? He looked through the entire party for him, until he bumped into Brie, Sami's wife. She was looking out the window at something, her face looked white as if she had seen a ghost. Dean followed her line of vision and he saw it. He saw Roman and Sami making out on the beach. Anger flowed through him almost immediately, jealousy and fear filled his heart where want, desire and love once laid, he couldn't help himself, Dean punched the glass as tears stung in his eyes. Roman heard the glass shattering, and he turned around, seeing Dean there looking hurt, dishiveled and angry.

Roman and Dean looked at each other one more time, actually the whole party was looking at them now. Seth dettached his lips from Nikki and came running, only to see glass everywhere, Dean's hand bloodied and Dean's red eyes holding back tears. He grabbed him, and took Dean away, only to have Roman run after them.

"Dean!" Roman screamed, as he ran, his voice causing Dean to stop, but not turn around.

"Fuck off." Seth screamed back at Roman, letting Dean go only to push the bigger man straight down in the sand. "Don't you ever say his name again."

Dean never turned back to look at them. He couldn't. It was like history repeating itself. No matter what he wanted, or who he wanted, he was never going to be happy. The sad thing about it all was..

He thought he was happy with Roman.

A/N: Welp, new chapter. Poor babies. Anyway guys, like i said on tumblr, i was going to put Once on hiatus.
