Roman stood by the door, almost terrified at the sight before him. He had no idea what was going on but he knew he needed to find out. He had passed Dean on his way back from the meeting, the other looking more relaxed than he did before, with that annoying self assured smirk plastered all over his face. Thinking nothing of it he walked back to the Shield locker room, but as he got closer he could hear muffled sobs coming from inside. He opened the door unsure of what he'd find, but dreading it at the same time and what he saw nearly made him hit the floor. Seth was curled in on himself, sobbing his heart out and Roman could almost bet Dean had something to do with it.

"Seth, what the hell is going on?"

The question fell out of his mouth before he could stop himself and the look Seth gave him scared him more than he'd care to admit. It was a look of almost complete heartbreak. He moved no sit next to the other man, pulling him close so that Seth's head rested on his chest. He allowed the other to cry, waiting patiently for him to calm down. He'd seen Seth like this enough times to know he couldn't rush him. You had to be gentle with him when he was like this, otherwise he'd break. Sometimes Roman thought Seth broke far too easily, but then again, everytime Seth let someone into his life they always found a way to break his heart. He wondered who it was this time. He knew Seth was currently single, he'd broken up with his last girlfriend a few weeks ago when he'd found out the bitch had been cheating. He hadn't been as upset then as he was right now though, and that seriously concerned Roman.

Finally Seth calmed down, his sobs turning into small hiccups. Roman put his fingers under Seth's chin, slowly pulling the other man's head up so he could look into his eyes, and once more he asked what was wrong. He could see the conflicted look in Seth's eyes, and he knew it was a question Seth didn't wanted to answer, but he needed to know. How could he make it right if he didn't know what was wrong?

"Seth I know this is hard but I need you to tell me what's gotten you so upset. I want to help but I can't if you don't tell me. Please baby boy, it kills me seeing you like this." He knew it was harsh, to try and guilt Seth into talking, but he needed answers. After a few moments Seth answered in a raspy but pleading tone.

"Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise you won't do anything. I don't want you to hurt him. Please Rome?"

Damn it, it had to be Dean. If it was anyone else Seth wouldn't have said that, but Dean was him best friend, and no matter what he did he wouldn't have wanted Roman to hurt him. Fuck, he should have punched the smug bastard when he had the chance.

"Okay Seth, I promise I won't hurt him. Now, tell me what he did to get you this upset."

Seth cast his eyes downwards, not wanting to look Roman in the eye as he spoke. He didn't want to see the emotions playing out across his face, because as hard as he tried to hide them, Seth could always tell how Roman was feeling. Sometimes he thought he might have been the only person who could.

"Well, it started last night. Me and Dean had another argument, he was screaming at me for no reason and I ignored him, and then I don't even know what happened next, it was all so blurry. But somehow, we, God Roman, I had sex with him. I don't know how it happened, or why, I'm not gay and I didn't think he was either but we did it. And then today I didn't want to see him because I needed to know why it happened, I needed to figure it out because I know I'm not gay but if I wasn't gay I wouldn't have let it happen, you know? But he came over to me while you were gone and he touched me, and I hated it but it felt so nice and now I'm even more confused than I was before. What do I do Roman?"

Seth was in tears again before the end of his speech. He'd left out the part where Dean raped him, was it even rape? He didn't know, but he knew if he told Roman how it really happened the older man wouldn't be able to stop himself from hurting Dean, and Seth didn't want that. Seth didn't know what he wanted any more. He finally looked up at the other, and for once he had no idea what the older man was thinking.

Roman didn't speak after Seth's confession. He couldn't speak. He didn't know what to say. Seth wasn't gay, he knew that, as unfortunate as that was. He'd always had a crush on the smaller man but he knew Seth was a no go. He'd had far too many girlfriends for Roman to even consider the possibility. But Seth's confession had brought out so many emotions in Roman it was unreal. He was angry at Dean for taking Seth's virginity, something he had always fantasised about doing, and messing with their youngest team member. He was sad that Seth was considering the possibility of being not so straight for a reason that wasn't him. But at the same time, Roman felt a small amount of joy pooling in his heart at the idea that maybe, just maybe, Seth wasn't so 'out of reach' after all. He'd punish Dean later for hurting Seth, he knew he promised but Roman couldn't let the bastard run around unharmed after everything he'd done to Seth. He might have been one of the Samoans closest friends but nobody hurt Seth and got away with it. But first, he had to answer the younger man before Seth had a heart attack, and from the look on his face as he continued staring at a completely silent Roman, that wasn't so far off.

"Seth, its okay to be confused, you've gone your whole life thinking you were straight and now, somebody's screwed all that up. Maybe what you need is someone to... clear things up. How did you feel when you kissed him?"

"I didn't. He didn't kiss me at all."

He didn't kiss him? How do you have sex with someone like Seth and not kiss them? Dean was crazier than he thought.

"Well maybe you need to find someone you trust, someone who you know wouldn't react badly to the idea, and kiss them. It'd probably make a lot more sense than just randomly having sex with someone. If you feel something when you kiss this guy, then maybe you're not as straight as you thought you were."

"For a man of little words you sure have a lot to say about this." Seth smiled for the first time since Roman had first found him, but his smile dropped suddenly as realisation hit him."

"You're probably right about what I need to do, but where am I gonna find a guy who won't punch the living daylights out of me when I kiss him? Or someone who won't go blabbing to anyone who'll listen until I've decided if maybe I am... bi or whatever?"

"You're looking at him."

Before Seth could do more than gasp, Roman brought his hand up to cup Seth's face, tracing his thumb over a plumb bottom lip. He looked into Seth's eyes, he could tell the two toned man was nervous, and almost let out a small gasp himself as Seth's tongue darted out to lick over his lips, grazing over his thumb momentarily. He leaned down slowly, watching Seth the entire time. he stopped just before their lips met, looking at Seth one final time. He watched as deep brown eyes glanced down longingly at his lips before looking up to meet his eyes again, and took that as a sign that Seth was ready for this. He reached forward, closing the final gap between them as he finally pressed his lips against Seth's. It was exactly how he imagined it. Seth's lips were full and soft, and his beard scraped lightly against Roman which sent small shivers down his spine. And he tasted exactly how Roman knew he would. Like innocence.

He felt Seth kissing him back, and watched as brown eyes slid closed. He could feel Seth getting into the kiss so he deepened it, pressing his lips against Seth's more firmly and parting them slightly so he could run his tongue over Seth's bottom lip. He almost smirked in triumph when Seth parted his lips to allow Roman's tongue access. He ran his tongue over the inside of Seth's mouth, exploring the warm cavern, and left Seth's tongue pressing against his momentarily. As they continued their kiss, he felt the younger man reaching his hand up to pull the bobble out of Roman's hair, and run his fingers through it as his ponytail fell free.

So into the kiss neither of them noticed Dean returning, watching them through the door Roman had forgotten to close in his rush to get next to Seth. He didn't speak. He just watched them. He continued to watch as they pulled away, both panting for breath and smiling. How dare he? Seth was supposed to be his. Didn't he understand that yet? Seth was his princess, not Roman'. Roman. This was all his fault. He was corrupting Seth. Seth would never cheat on Dean; he wasn't that sort of person. No, this was all down to Roman. But Dean would fix it. Dean would make sure Seth knew who he belonged to. And he'd make sure nobody touched his princess again. Especially not Roman.

Because after all, nobody touched Seth and got away with it.

A/N – You all asked for more Roman. So here's a chapter about Roman :) It's kind of weird how similar his and Dean's thoughts are, but hey, when it comes to Seth you'd probably think the same thing to ;) Let me know what you all think, I love the reviews I've been getting! So if you wanna throw some more at me I won't complain ;)

Let me know what you all think is gonna happen next!
