A/N: Hi there! Sorry this took a while, wanted to get my other story done first before continuing with this one! Now that I am back, hope you enjoy this next chapter!

Two weeks later:

"I don't know what to do Mimi…I am just so confused right now." Roman was sitting on the rock in front of the water talking to Mimi about his feelings for Dean. For the past couple of weeks since he woke up, Dean has been plaguing Roman's mind constantly. Yeah, they kissed a few times, but it went no further than that for fear of getting to close. He knows that if Dean is found, he may most likely end up leaving, which would devaste Roman to no end. But then again, he has no rights to him either as there is always a chance he could be found. The thoughts has constantly bulldozed his mind every day.

Dean watches from behind the tree and watches the interaction. He never forgot the day he met Mimi…

Dean was climbing down the tree trunk while Roman was in the house cleaning up the day's dishes from breakfast. Dean decided he wanted some fresh air and Roman agreed as long as he didn't go very far since he still wasn't completely familiar with the area and that he was still recovering from his boating accident. Dean agreed and just stayed close by.

Minutes later, Roman heard a scream and rushed out and down to where was at. Once he got there, he saw Dean on his butt and arms over his face while Mimi was standing over him with her arms raised over her. He was screaming bloody murder as Mimi screams back.

"MIMI! NO!" Roman shouted as she stopped what she was doing and looked at Roman. "No Mimi, don't scare Dean like that! He just wanted some fresh air…" he said softly as he walked over to where Dean was and bend to his level.

"Hey…" he whispered. "It's okay, this is Mimi and she won't hurt you, okay?" Dean slowly lowers his arms while trying to catch is breath. "I see you met Mimi, my sidekick and confidant. She won't hurt you as long as I am here. She just protective."

"Could have fooled me.." he mumbled. "I was looking at this flower over here and she came out me and scared the shit out of me. I thought she was gonna attack me or something." He knew she wouldn't but still didn't mean she didn't scare him no less.

Roman looks at Mimi curiously who then looks down and folds her arms. She knew she was in trouble with Roman but also knew that he knew she was just protecting him as well.

"No worries, she knows who you are, but just didn't know WHO you are, if that makes sense. She's been watching over you when you got rescued and even helped with the gash on your head. But I will make sure that she knows that you are harmless and just exploring, okay?" he asked as he helps Dean up and dusts the dirt of his arms. Roman knows it will take some time for Dean and Mimi to get use to each other, but hopes that it won't be too long.

"Okay, think I will head down the path for a bit, clear my head, and I am sorry for scaring you. And sorry Mimi, for screaming, you scared me so it's an instinct." Dean finishes dusting himself off as he heads off before Roman could say anything.

Roman then looks over at Mimi with a semi glare that told her she needed to knock it off and cool it. Mimi looks away and signs that she is sorry. Roman signs himself and hugs her and tells her its gonna be okay…..

"I just don't want to get to attached to him. I mean, I am really starting to like him and it scares me to no end." Mimi puts her hand on his shoulder as Roman looks down at his hands that has been rubbing each other for the past few minutes. She knows that Roman has a good heart, but also knows just how lonely he really feels at times. Dean has awaken things in him she hasn't seen before. It almost makes her more protective of him.

She signs to Roman what he plans to do about his feelings.

"I don't know what to do. I feel that if I do confront him with my feelings, it won't last. He pretty much told me that he has someone waiting for him if things don't pan out with this guy's girl. I am afraid of being turned down."

Roman looks back out at the water as Dean listens in. He knows how Roman feels too. He feels the same way. He feels that if he does get found, if he will leave or stay. He also remembers a line his mother told him….

"It isn't Corbin baby, it's someone else. Someone whose been taking care of you since your boating accident. He's been taking care of you for the past few days now. He seems to really care a lot about you and been doing everything he can to make sure you heal right."

But for some reason, even after the kisses they shared, he is still scared as well as Roman. But in Roman's case, he hasn't has anybody for a long time whereas he has always has someone, whether it was just a fuck buddy or a one night stand.

But the kisses…wasn't much between them, but Roman's kisses were like the softest lips he has had on him. He would like more, but he doesn't know if he should. Especially since Roman's is feeling like he can't.

He continues to listen as these thoughts invade his brain.

"I really like Dean, I mean, really like him. But I just can't get close to him. He's been here a month and as much as I try to fight it off, the feelings get a bit stronger. But I can't risk the chance of having my heart broken if he doesn't stay."

Mimi signs what if he doesn't get saved and is lost like he was?

"I don't know, guess we will cross that bridge when we get there, but he said he had a boat tracker on and its suppose to help locate him. So I am bracing the fact that each day is a day closer to him leaving here if he choses.

Mimi then signs, well, what if that doesn't happen? He's been here for a month and no signs of life out there other then the fish and other aquatic creatures. He may be just as stuck here as you. You need to make the most of it with him. Don't waste your time worrying about what ifs and start looking at the present time.

Roman sighs as he cracks a sad smile. "I wish it was that easy Mimi, but Dean has his heart set on going home where people are waiting for him. Me? I don't want to leave and has no intention of leaving. Maybe I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life. But I wish Dean to find happiness and love for himself."

Mimi signs, What if that happiness is you?

Roman chuckes lightly and continues to look out. He doesn't answer the question, but it tells Mimi what she wants to know.

All the while, Dean is listening and wonders just how lonely and broken Roman really is? He hides so much of his feelings to make sure Dean is comfortable and happy…until that time comes that rescue maybe on the horizon.

He takes a deep breath and slowly, but quietly backs away and heads to the house. Somehow, he feels like a failure in a sense.

Dean is laying down facing the window when he hears Roman come in.

"Dean?" he asked softly, "You doing okay?"

Dean rolls over slowly and looks at Roman. He smiles a bit and nods. "Yeah, just laying here and resting a bit. Figured it's a nice day to relax."

Roman then walks over to where Dean is at and sits down beside him. "Something on your mind? You seem kinda off a bit today…" He can tell that Dean been a bit quiet. No sure if it has to do with being here or not.

"Nah, just been thinking is all." He says as he sits up against the headboard. "Been here a month and its been pretty peaceful."

Roman studies Dean's face and knows he's not telling the complete truth. "Are you sure there is nothing else? I know I haven't been around you much for the past couple of weeks, but I am hoping to show you around a bit more if you are up to it."

Dean nods hesitantly, "Sure, that would be nice."

Roman smiles as he takes Dean's hand and gently helps him up. But the touch is the spark that sends shivers down Roman's back. But he hides it, he doesn't want to get too attached to Dean. Doesn't want to lead him on if something comes up.

He breaks the contact with Dean, which left him feeling a bit sad, but he shakes it off. "Come on, there is a place not far from here that is just as beautiful as the waterfall I showed you. Hope you like it."

Dean smiles as Roman's eyes lit up a bit. "I'm sure I will love it Roman.." Roman blushes as he turns and heads out with Dean following him behind.

"What is this place Roman?" Dean asked as they walk though the forest like trees and right to an area that is surrounded by pink and blue sunflower like plants. And right in the middle is a large hole with dark blue water below it.

"I call it 'tamaitai matagofie o le vaituloto' or Beautiful Lady of the Lakes. Dean was in awe of the place. To his right, there is a homemade tree ladder with a vine rope that goes down into the water. And you could literally see the bottom as clear as day.

"This is beautiful Roman, how did you find this?" he asked as he started to walk around the flowers to get a better look at the deep pond in front of him. He could not believe the hidden oasis that this place has. He seems to be more and more impressed as the days go along.

"It was actually Mimi that found this." He said as he followed Dean to make sure he doesn't fall through anything. "It was about a month after we shipwrecked here. She was swinging by and happened to look down and saw this area. She and her family came back and got me and brought me here. I thought this was a gorgeous oasis that was waiting to be discovered. I saw the flowers surrounding it and went exploring. When I was able to get down there, I found all kinds of things. It was like my own oasis cave."

Dean smiles as he continued to listen to Roman's story. He was just in total awe of it all. No wonder Roman didn't really want to leave. This place has all kinds of mystery beauty to it. "It's beautiful here Roman, I could honestly see why you don't want to leave."

"Yeah, but I hope I never do either…." There was a hint of finality in his voice which Dean picked up on right away.

"Hey, can we sit on this rock and just enjoy the scenery before we got down there?"

"Sure, that would be a good idea." Roman said as him and Dean sit on a spotted rock that was overlooking the oasis below them.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"So is there anything you want to talk about?"

Dean looks at him in confusion before speaking up. "Like what?"

Roman rubs his eyes then looks out around him, avoiding eye contact. "Like I said earlier, you seem like you have a lot on your mind the past couple of weeks and as hoping I could help."

Dean laughs humorlessly, " Roman, I told you, I just have a lot on my mind. I mean, I've been here for a month and this is still all new to me. I am not sure about anything at the moment."

Roman looks down in almost a defeated state, "So, does this mean you still want to leave if you have the chance?"

Dean pulls his legs up and places his chin on his knees with his arms around them. "Honestly, I don't know. I mean, I have friends and a job back home that is most likely waiting for me."

"You mean you have a guy that you hope you can have waiting for you…." He somberly says he gets up and walks to the edge of the hole.

"Roman….." Dean says as he brings his legs out and gets off the rock himself to be where Roman stood. "I don't know about that, but I just miss my life there, you know? I am so use to just getting up, getting dressed for work and heading out. I am not use to all this. I am not use to not having modern day technology at my fingertips. This is still so new to me." He pleads as he tries to make Roman understand.

"Yeah, well, imagine being here for 10 years and missing all that stuff. What I wouldn't dream being near my family, but this is my life now."

"I know that, Roman," Dean said in annoyance, "But that doesn't mean that I don't wish that for me or even you. But you CHOSE to stay here now, I didn't. But as of right now, I have no choice BUT to be here."

Roman, who is feeling pissed off, looks at Dean, "Are you serious Dean, I CHOSE to be here? Really? I didn't CHOOSE to be anywhere but home. I fucking waited SIX months for someone to find me before I gave up…yes I GAVE UP…Why? Because I realize that no matter what I did, I couldn't get anyone to find me, so I fucking did what I had to do to survive. And you know what, the more I had to, the more I fell in love with this place. So excuse me for not wanting to leave now since I've been here. I couldn't be happier than I am now!"

"Even if you never have someone to share it with?" That struck Roman in the stomach as Dean watched his face fall at that statement. He knew he hurt him with those words, but he needed to press on. "I mean, you tell me you get lonely for companionship, but yet you still don't want to leave?"

"You know what, fuck you Dean, seriously…I have been fighting within myself feelings I have for you, only for you to completely break them. I have fought to figure out how to deal with them when it came to you because yes, I do miss being with someone and yes, I am attracted to you and liked you. But you just made my choice for me."

Dean's heart hammered as those words. Roman's eyes that had love and care is now replaced with anger and resentment. He knew he didn't like it either. He looked down before speaking up.

"What choice?" he asked as he swallowed hard.

"I will see if I can get the radio to work and get your ass home. There is a way to get it to work and I will work on it for the next few days until I can get it going. Then you can call your fucking calvary and tell them where you are at. I'll leave the coordinates so you can give them the exact location. And then you can fucking leave and never give me another thought."

"Roman….I'm so sorry…..please…." Dean said as he reached out for him.

Roman ignored and backed away from him and started heading back to the house. Dean followed behind him trying to find a way to defuck this mess. He never knew until right then….just how much he's fallen for him and how scared he really is to lose him at this moment.

Let me know what you think! Should Dean stay and fight or should he let Roman go? See ya next time!
