A/N:
Today at the beginning because this chapter is kinda cute in itself.
I totally adore Damien! On TV he is doing such a great job and I can picture him mirroring Roman's moves in the kitchen. It would be hilarious! So it is a little sad that Dean will teach him how to cook properly.
As for the twins. I like them! Nikki will have a big supporting role in this story. I kinda think her and Dean would have a great chemistry and I try to make you see that as well.
As always I LOVE your reviews! I don't mention individual reviews in here because someone would always feel left out. So I can only say: Thank you for every review and taking the time to letting me know you like this. I take them all. Long. Short. Analytical ones. Doesn't matter. I welcome them all!
Now on to the new chapter.
Chapter 7 – Laughter at night
They drove home and Roman picked up a pillow and a blanket for Dean to use and then he excused himself to shower. It was part of his routine. He would shower at night and his hair could dry during his sleep. It saved a hell lot of time.
Dean tried to make the couch as comfortable as possible and sorted through his new clothes, cutting off price tags while waiting on Roman to be done in the bathroom.
Roman walked out ten minutes later and Dean looked up expecting one hot dripping piece of eye candy. What he saw instead made him grab his belly and laugh so hard he nearly peed his pants.
"Its practical." Roman pouted.
"Its...its...hilarious." Dean was completely out of breath but couldn't stop laughing about the picture in front of him
Roman wore a hair turban and he looked so funny to Dean.
"You are an ass." Roman complained and took the turban off and threw it at the laughing man.
Dean grabbed it and once the scent of Romans wet hair that was still on the towel hit his nostrils his laughter died down considerably and when his eyes met the taller man it died down completely. Romans hair was curly and pitch black. It left drops on his white tank top and Dean only now really paid attention to the tribal tattoo on Romans right arm. It stopped well under the tank top over his peck.
"Are you smelling the towel?" Roman asked when the quiet stare of Dean got too much for him and that pulled Dean out of his trance.
"What? No! Why would I do that?"
He got up and walked past Roman pressing the towel into his hands.
Roman chuckled now. He was relieved that he seemed to have the same effect on Dean as Dean did on him.
Deciding against putting the turban back on he walked into the kitchen to grab a late night snack.
Dean walked out of the bathroom freshly showered as well in a pair of new sweatpants much like Roman wore and a black t-shirt. He found his landlord in the kitchen where Roman had prepared small sandwiches.
"Thought we could use a little snack before bed."
It was after 1 am but neither of them was tired.
Dean dug into his food and practically inhaled it reminding Roman that he needed to feed him more because he was a little too thin.
"Fridge is always open for you. We need to put some weight on you."
"Thank you." Dean said between bites.
"So you can actually cook." Dean said after shoving his empty plate away and Roman chuckled softly while putting it away.
"I can and I can't wait to find out what you have up your sleeves."
Dean grinned and got up to put his glass in the dishwasher as well crowding Roman in the process.
"Up my sleeve or in my pants?" he breathed into Romans ear and the big guy actually shuddered.
"..." Roman couldn't reply and Dean clapped his shoulder grinning.
"You are so cute. I will call it a night now if you don't mind. My head is kind of spinning. A lot has happened today."
He turned to leave not giving Roman a chance to reply. He stopped in the doorway though.
"I will be forever grateful that you gave me this chance Roman. That you even let me stay here until I get back on my own feet. I owe you big time."
Roman just waved his hand trying to hide a blush. "Don't mention it. Get some sleep Dean."
Dean nodded and left to retire to the couch while Roman cleaned up the rest of the kitchen not able to leave the tiniest mess. After that he headed to bed as well where he lay for a long time staring at the ceiling.
He liked Dean. He seemed to be a good guy who had some bad luck in the past. Plus he was sure he was as passionate about cooking as himself. His rough, handsome looks didn't hurt either. So giving him a chance might pay out for Roman on more than one level in the long run. Hopefully...
