When Seth opened the door to the men's locker room in the Allstate Arena, acting like a gentleman that he was, he let the woman walk in first. What Seth didn't realize was that neither Dean nor Roman expected to see a girl in there. They were surprised and interrupted in changing their clothes. While Roman has just put on his shirt, Dean was still in the phase of pointlessly walking around the room, shirtless. In reality, he was on a search for his V-neck white T-shirt. He looked everywhere, but it was difficult to locate it when there were several piles of clothes just laying around. But as soon as he noticed Renee walking inside, he froze, and so did she.
"Hey, man," Roman started speaking, ignoring the awkward situation. "There you are. I've been looking for you everywhere," he addressed his words to Seth who noticed the tension which arose between Dean and Renee, but he decided not to do anything about it.
"Well, then I guess you're not very good at searching," Seth noted nonchalantly.
Roman responded with a sarcastic smile while pointing out, "I'm still better than Dean. He's been trying to find his shirt for at least ten minutes."
"So that's why you're half-naked and don't do anything about it," Renee joked to ease the moment and avoid people noticing her lingering on Dean's abs. When Dean did not seem to respond, she added, "Let me help you with that."
He telepathically thanked her and continued in the search, now more intensively than before. Renee started on the other side and did her best to keep her cool. It was incredibly difficult for her not to stare at Dean's muscular body, but if she failed, she knew there would be consequences.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Seth returned to the former conversation.
Roman started focusing on him, but after few seconds he told him in surprise, "Huh, I don't remember." Seth shook his head in disbelief. Well, the good thing was he didn't come to the locker room just to talk to Roman. He wanted to change as well, but now with a woman in there, he had to wait.
While Seth kept standing beside the lockers with his arms crossed, trying to suppress the need to start whistling, Roman remembered that he still had something to talk about, even though originally the topic of the conversation was different. He didn't care; it would come up in his mind eventually. The important thing was that he had something to kill time with while Renee was still in the room, unaware that she was preventing Seth, and for that matter all of the guys, from being themselves and acting as they usually did in the locker room.
"Anyway, Seth, Renee," Roman included her in the conversation, "have you heard the big news?" He gave them a couple of seconds to think about their guesses which they would present to him.
"Are you going to fight Seth?" Renee asked, referring to their earlier in-ring dispute and a need for a punishment for Seth Rollins who refused to cooperate with the other Shield members in their match with The Wyatt Family.
"Nah, but I would like that," he laughed.
"My turn," Seth said. "Are you . . ." he took a moment to think, "Are you gonna get a haircut?" he joked, but secretly he hoped he wouldn't because he really liked Roman's long hair.
"Nope," he responded.
"Hey, that's my catchphrase!" Dean exclaimed suddenly, and accused his mate of stealing the word he became famous for.
"So now we're not allowed to say it anymore?" Roman wondered, without considering what a great opportunity for response he just offered to Dean.
"Nope," Dean said, and he couldn't be happier. It was his way of showing dominance while not being too serious at the same time.
Although the situation was far from getting out of control, Renee intervened again. She had a great opportunity to avoid the "fight" when she found Dean's shirt, resting on the ground underneath the bench, and handed it to him. "Now you have no reason to be shirtless," she added.
"There's always a reason," Dean protested, but put his T-shirt on anyway.
"Can we get back to the topic, please?" Seth seemed to be the only one to remember there was actually something they were talking about.
"Right," Roman started to focus again. "Let me help you out. It's about Dean," he gave them some new information and in an instant everybody started looking at Dean who pretended not to care about the conversation.
Neither Seth nor Renee had a clue what could be the "big news". Did it have to do anything with wrestling, with The Shield or Dean's gimmick?
"Are you getting rid of your earring?" Seth suddenly asked, and it was one thing about Dean that really bothered him.
"You wish," he responded, knowing Seth never really liked it.
"Are you getting a tattoo?" Renee guessed, and tried to imagine him with one. It was sort of difficult, it somehow did not belong to Dean, but still she was sure that it would look sexy.
"You're far from truth, guys," Roman let them know. "I'll give you a hint. What is the last thing you would expect from Dean?" he posed a question that was supposed to help them.
"Are you turning babyface?" Renee gave it a shot, and it certainly was something that was hard to imagine. Dean gave her a disgusted look while Roman started laughing. Seth knew as well that it wasn't it; if the news had something to do with Dean's wrestling career in the WWE, he would already know since they were a part of the same faction.
"Somebody has to stay heel, right, Dean?" Roman noted, referring to him turning face soon and becoming a fans' favorite who was already getting a lot of cheers.
"So what is it?" Seth couldn't wait anymore. He had enough of teasing. He didn't care whether Roman or Dean would be the one to say it out loud; he wanted to know what was going on and refused to continue in unproductive guessing.
"Alright, you both failed terribly," Roman started, and seemed to be the one to reveal the secret. Dean acted like it was no big deal and it didn't need the fanfares or the drumroll Roman wished to have.
Roman looked at Dean one more time and gave him the biggest smile ever, applauding whatever it was that he accomplished. He then looked at Seth who was getting into a trance, craving for the answer, and Renee who had no idea what to expect.
"Dean's got a girlfriend," he finally revealed to them.
