Shawn eyes Roman with uncertainty. Roman was sending off his family back to their home since Mark insisted that Roman and Seth stay with them. Roman had agreed and after curling up with Seth to warm him. He had gone to speak to Naomi to send her and twins home. Shawn still wasn't convinced but Mark had been insistent that they stay close at hand. He had stated they could watch them if they were close since Shawn didn't trust Roman. Shawn had agreed and then watched as Roman moved back to the bedroom with Seth.
Naomi, before leaving, lays a hand on Shawn's arm. "Roman didn't know and would never willingly hurt Seth. Hell, he would talk about him all the time."
Shawn sighs. "I trust you Naomi. But that's my son."
Naomi nods. "He didn't tell us about you."
Shawn gives her a small grin. "He wanted to make it on his own. He didn't want to make it based on his family. He saw what happens when that is brought into play in the wrestling world. No matter how good you are, to the smarks, you only got your job because of your family. He didn't want that."
Naomi nods and then looks over at Jimmy and Jey. "I can understand that."
Shawn nods and then looks at Noami.
Naomi smiles brightly at Shawn. "Roman is a good man and he'll make this work with your brat. Hell Roman claimed him awhile ago he just didn't take the final step."
Shawn looks confused.
Jey speaks up. "What she means is that .. Roman would protect him and seemed wrapped around Seth's finger. They both made doe eyes at each other. They were obviously made for each other."
Jimmy hits Jey in the shoulder and Jey yelps.
Naomi nods and shrugs. "They were made for each other."
Shawn nods and then laughs. "Seth use to talk about Roman a ton and Dean. Though Dean was more a friend."
Naomi nods. "Dean is a good guy too."
Jey grins. "Dean is going to be upset when he finds out he's been left out of this."
Shawn nods and takes a breath.
Naomi smiles at him one last time. "I promise this will work out."
Shawn nods. "I hope."
Naomi smiles brightly. "It will."
Roman curls around Seth in bed. Every time Roman left Seth would start to shiver and the dogs would crawl onto the bed. The biggest dog, that he thinks Seth told him once was Thor, would growl at Roman. Then when Roman went back he would have to move some of the dogs to get back into bed. Roman sighs and wraps his arms around Seth. Thor who was laying against Seth's chest grunted his disapproval but allowed it.
Roman rumbles softly. "Listen to me dog. We are going to have to get along."
Thor turns his head and eyes him. Roman swears that the dog is telling him off. Seth lets out a soft sound in his sleep. It was obvious to Roman that Seth hadn't been sleeping from the fact that Seth would drift off after warming up. Thor eyes Roman again and Roman swears again the dog is communicating with him. He swears the dog is demanding that he comfort Seth.
Roman sighs and then mumbles softly into Seth's hair as he holds Seth tightly. "I'm losing my mind."
Seth stirs and mumbles. "what."
Roman shrugs and then is honest. "I swear your dog is communicating."
Seth looks confused and then looks at Thor. Thor lays his head down on the pillow and Seth looks back at Roman.
Roman looks embarrassed. "it's not my fault your dog is convincing."
Seth nods and then wiggles back into Roman. Roman smiles softly and holds him. Seth mumbles, "I'm warm."
Roman nods and whispers. "warm and safe."
Seth peeks back at Roman. "promise. no more.."
Roman nods and whispers. "I'm not running away and you are mine. I promise. The way it should have been."
Seth smiles softly at Roman. "Thank you."
Roman whispers. "My mate."
Seth shivers at the feeling that runs over him when he's called mate.
Roman smiles brightly.
