Roman tried his hardest to figure out what had happened during Seth's days off his lover was withdrawn as he sat in the back of the rental car. Seth had his hoodie pulled over his head earbuds were in place and he had music up so loud he couldn't have heard Roman or Dean if he wanted to. Roman turned back around in the seat and raised an eyebrow to Dean who shrugged. At first Roman had tried to press the issue with Seth but this got him nowhere the other man only had one word responses when Roman had asked if he was okay. Roman turned on the radio and increased the volume just in case Seth happen to try and eavesdrop.
"What is wrong with him Dean?"
Dean shook his head "I don't know really Ro I promise. A day or two ago he got a call from his girlfriend I gave them privacy when I came back he was just sitting on the couch staring into his hands. Every time I tried to ask him what had happened he got kinda defensive so I decided to leave him alone."
Roman reached over and turned the radio back down he wondered what his girlfriend had called Seth about Roman felt sick what if somebody in Seth's family had passed. The thought caused a great tug at his heart string. If that were the case he wanted nothing more than to comfort the other man or what if one of Seth's parents were sick. Roman wanted to get to the bottom of it but Seth happened to be the most stubborn person he had ever known. As if Dean read his mind the blonde told Roman to stop worrying and that Seth would come to them when he was ready. Roman sighed in frustration even though he knew Dean was right. Roman watched through the window as the sun set into the evening sky and the moon started to rise they weren't far from their destination.
The drive this week was rather short and as Dean pulled into a parking spot and stopped the car Seth was the first one out. He collected his suitcase and walked towards the entrance fast enough so that the other two men couldn't catch him. Roman grabbed his suitcase and watched as Dean slam the hood to the trunk closed. They walked behind Seth watching as he quickly opened the door and disappeared inside. Roman hoped when they got to their locker room they would have a chance to talk. However as they entered the arena and made their way to the locker room they all shared he was greatly disappointed. All the stares they had received now made sense usually all three of them were together when they made it to Raw. However this time Seth had pretty much ran away from them and this caused the other superstars to be curious. Seth had already hopped into a shower and was taking his sweet time. Roman debated on whether or not he should take the chance to join Seth but thought that it might upset Dean so instead he settled for his own stall. As he finished his shower he heard the water next to him stop and he knew Seth had finished. He washed his hair as he heard Dean try and talk to the raven haired man. "You can talk to us you know that right?"
"I swear to god either one of you ask me if I am okay again and I am going to stab you."
"Jesus asshole just trying to help."
"Well don't."
With this Roman heard the door to their room slam shut he shut off the water and got out the stall closing it behind him. As he dried off and got dressed he made his way to where Dean sat and laced up his boots. Dean just turned his head to look at the taller man "I heard him." Dean said nothing in response as he finished his boots and made his way out of the room. Roman hoped this wouldn't affect their match since Hunter had already given them the third degree about fucking up again. Roman closed the locker room door behind him and took a deep breath as he made his way to where they came down through the crowd. Dean and Seth had a great deal of distance between them and he wanted to shout at both of them for being assholes but thought better of it. Their music hit and they made their way through the crowd Roman could sense the tension he just hoped the crowd didn't.
The match went off without a hitch and Roman was more than thankful the crowd cheered and and reacted exactly how Hunter hoped they would. After the ref held their hands up the three of them made their way to the back. Dean was pumped up and kept rambling on about how the three of them should go out and celebrate. Roman wanted to go drinking he thought maybe it would loosen Seth up but the other man declined saying he wanted air and needed to think. They went to the locker room and quickly changed as Seth stood and made his way out Roman tried to grab him so he could kiss the other man but Seth pulled away and headed for the door. He bid them goodbye and a have fun before he was out the door. Roman wanted to go out with Dean but he also wanted to get to the bottom of what was bothering Seth. Dean sensed what his friend was thinking as he changed his shirt.
"Go on I can go by myself."
Roman looked at him with a gentle smile "you sure?"
"Yeah got figure what is wrong with that clown."
Roman chuckled before he pulled the blonde into a hug which earned him a groan and caused him to laugh harder. "You're the best." Dean simply smirked as Roman made his way out of the locker room he was unsure of where to look for Seth but he knew it would be someplace quiet and not filled with people.
As the cool night hit him Roman cursed himself under his breath for not thinking to grab his hoodie. He remembered seeing a small park on his way to the arena knowing Seth he would be running or doing yoga or something. Roman crossed the street and made his way to the park it was a little later at night so he knew most people wouldn't be out. As he walked between the two large oak trees at the entrance he saw a swing moving a little in the distance. He walked towards it as he shoved his hands in the pocket of his jeans. He saw Seth with his head resting against the chain of the swing with his hood up. His feet were pushing lightly and he wasn't going very high just swaying back and forth. Roman sat in the other swing and looked over at the other man.
"What's going on baby?"
Seth said nothing at first he just continued to swing until Roman reached over and grabbed one side of the swing causing him to spin. Seth planted his feet on the ground and looked over his eyes filled with something that wasn't his normal happiness. Roman almost regretted messing with him but he knew it had to be done something was definitely wrong.
"Sorry shouldn't have done that but please talk to me."
"I wanted to break up with her. I love you so much and I wanted it to just be us. I love kids though you know that I want ten kids one day."
Roman felt utterly confused everything seemed like a jumbled mess before he could ask what Seth meant the other man just kept talking.
"I just can't be a bad guy and walk away from her now. It just changes everything and it breaks my heart."
Roman reached between them and grabbed for Seth's hand the younger man tried to retract his hand but it only caused Roman to squeeze him harder once he got ahold of Seth's hand. "Seth what are you talking about?" Roman felt confident he heard a sniffle. "She's pregnant." Roman felt his stomach drop.
"Who."
"My girlfriend."
Roman pieced it all together and he felt his heart lurch forward he felt sick. "What are you saying?" Seth sniffled again and his hand suddenly felt empty as he saw Seth wipe at his cheek. "I chose you and now we can't be together. I gotta be there for the baby." His first response was to go into panic mode. This couldn't be happening there was no way. They had been through too much gone too far for it all to end like this. Roman wouldn't let it he couldn't let it. He loved Seth with all his being it was the only thing that kept him going. He never cried ever Roman usually was the one to who held it together for everyone else the only exception had been the birth of his baby girl and now he felt the tears as they stung his cheek burning hot against the cold of the night. "Seth don't do this." Seth looked at him and tears also stained his cheeks the smaller man reached over and swiped his thumb under Roman's eye collecting the tears. "I have to." Roman wanted to argue to fight like hell for him because he didn't know what else to do.
"Seth you don't have to be with her to be there for the baby. You don't have to stay in the relationship to be a good father. Don't give up on us." Like a switch had flipped he stood up and pulled away from Roman. Next thing he knew his ass hit the ground and his head flew up to look into chocolate eyes filled with anger. "How fucking dare you Roman. You refuse to leave your fiance because of your daughter, you don't want to lose her, you don't want to be a bad father and now you are turning it on me telling me not to do the same thing. You hate your life you could've left that bitch years ago but you didn' always kept us on the back burner because of your daughter how fucking dare you." He tried to stand but couldn't there was a stinging sensation against his cheek but Roman's mind had yet to process what was happening. "Stay the hell out of my life I am going to be there for my child and I am done with whatever this is." Roman watched as the love of his life walked away leaving him out in the cold. Roman picked himself up and started back for the hotel not caring who stared at a man his size sobbing. He burst through the door and threw himself into the arms of Dean who ran to catch him. Roman held his hands up to his face as he just cried. Dean tried to ask what happened as he just sat there confused. Roman couldn't speak he tried but no words would seem to come out instead another sob escaped him. After a few minutes of crying he managed to get some words out.
"His girlfriend is pregnant Dean and he left me because of it."
Dean slowly rocked him as he stroked his fingers through the bigger man's hair. Dean had never witnessed Roman so broken before and he understood how much Seth meant to him. "It's okay it will be okay."
The pink roses were held firmly in his grip as Roman opened the door and sat his suitcase down. He hoped Jasmine would be asleep he needed to talk to his girl. He called out softly and she came from the kitchen a look of annoyance on her face until he held out the beautiful flowers. Caroline took them from him a look of curiosity on her face as she clearly hadn't expected such a sweet gesture. Roman walked up to her and put his hands on either side of her hips as he pulled her in for a soft gentle kiss. As he pulled away he looked into her eyes and his mind automatically wandered off to Seth but he pushed it out. " I am done." Caroline raised an eyebrow at him before she turned in his arms and walked towards the kitchen Roman followed. He watched as she put the flowers in a vase of fresh water. "Done with what?"
Roman he inhaled deeply before he spoke "Wrestling all of it, I wanna fix our marriage baby. I want to be here for you and Jasmine no more." She beamed from ear to ear as Caroline wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a deep kiss. Roman moaned into it as he lifted her up and carried her up the stairs towards their bedroom. She landed softly on the bed giggling as he hovered over her. Again Seth creeped into his mind and it made his whole body ache. Roman missed the other man already but that was a closed book. Slowly and softly they made love for hours until Roman was physically exhausted.
Dean huffed causing the other man to look over at him "What is your problem?" Dean slams his fist against the locker as he turned his whole body towards Seth who was seated on the bench in the middle of the room. "I am tired you walking around here freaking pouting." Seth rolled his eyes as he stretched his arms above his head and let out a slow breath. Dean crossed the room and sat opposite Seth then he reached out and grabbed the other man's shoulders. He shook him causing Seth to try and swat his hands away. "Get off me Ambrose."
"No I am trying to shake some damn sense into you."
Seth scoffed. "I don't know what you are talking about." Dean shook him harder not caring if he made the other man sick or not. "The last few weeks you have been walking around here like a damn zombie." Seth tried to protest but was stopped by a finger being pressed to his lips. "I am not done you have been like a damn zombie just staggering through life. Roman's gone okay. He quit and yes it's your fault. If you miss him that damn much do something about it. Who cares if you're having a baby a lot of babies grow up in a divided household just fine." Seth tried once again to speak but was stopped again. "Besides how are you even sure the damn kid is yours. You were on the road pretty much all the time when she got knocked up so maybe you need to do some damn soul searching."
With this Dean released him and got up from the bench he stormed out of the room leaving a shocked Seth sitting there. After Seth had collected himself from being shaken to death he started to do some thinking he hoped Dean was right. He missed Roman like crazy and right now he wasn't really living just trying to survive. He needed Roman to function he also knew he needed to have a deep conversation with his girlfriend.
