It had been a month since Dean had sat Seth down and given it to him straight. All Seth had thought about was Roman he missed the other man with all his being. Seth ached for Roman but he knew that he had fucked up big time. Seth tried to call Roman one night after Raw when he was alone in the hotel. All he got was a message telling him that the number was no longer in service. Seth's whole being needed Roman for the last month he hadn't felt right. He never felt like himself it always felt like a piece of him was missing. Dean never really brought it up again after that night he knew Seth would eventually cave. Dean had been right they were on their days off and he needed to get his shit sorted out. Seth couldn't wait til Sunday like he had planned before he left for Raw. He had to get to the bottom of everything now. He had waited a month and that was too long he should've gone after Roman weeks ago. He felt like an ass it was his fault they were in this situation and Seth wondered if Roman had been able to just move on or if the other man thought about him too.
His girlfriend went out to buy some stuff for the baby so Seth sat on the couch and patiently waited for her. Seth finally heard the door click open and he turned his head to see her walk in with bags in both hands. He smiled he really truly wanted to have a family but the only way to do that was with Roman. His girlfriend sat the bags down and smiled at him as she entered the living room. "Hi baby." Seth patted the seat next to him and she crossed the room and sat down. He had to tell her everything it wasn't fair to either one of them. "We need to talk."
He reached over and grabbed her hand Seth would always care about her. She had been his best friend and his everything for a long time until he fell in love with Roman. Seth knew the best place to start was the beginning and that she needed the truth all of it no matter how painful it was. "Tiffany there is something I need to tell you. First off I want to say I am so sorry I never meant to hurt you." Tiffany looked at him utterly confused but he just kept talking trying to get it all out before his nerves ran out. "It started in FCW at first it was just a physical thing but then we fell in love. I love him with all my heart he is the one I want to be with. I love you but not like I should and I know we are going to have a baby but I will be there for our child but I can't keep living this lie." Tiffany said nothing until it dawned on her that Seth had said him she pulled her hand away and looked at him disgusted. "Who is it?" Seth swallowed hard he hesitated to tell her but he thought better of it. "Roman." Tiffany jumped up and crossed her arms over her chest. "Your sick Seth." Seth buried his hands in his lap as his gaze continued to be cast down on the floor.
"I am sorry."
"You should be. Look at me."
Seth looked up slowly to see her smiling an evil smile. "Well if you want to confess things I guess I should too." It was Seth's turn to be confused. "I cheated on you Seth a lot actually so don't feel like you need to stay for a child that might not even be yours." Seth felt his heart drop.
"What?"
She smiled again "Guess we are even so get the fuck out of my house." Seth hadn't moved so Tiffany took it upon herself to take his suitcase that still sat by the door and throw it outside. Seth felt heartbroken he had wanted the baby so badly he had almost let Roman go. Seth didn't know how to process the information but he was snapped from his thoughts by Tiffany yelling at him. "I said get the hell out of my house." Seth stood and walked to the door as he reached for the handle he turned around and looked at her. "I wanted to be a father." She scoffed "well hope Roman can give you some." With this she waited until he had crossed the threshold and was outside then she slammed the door in his face. Seth stood there taken back he now had nowhere to go Seth grabbed his suitcase and made his way down the steps. As he reached the sidewalk he sat and pulled out his phone. He searched through his contacts until he found Dean Seth dialed the number and waited patiently.
"Hello."
Seth spilled everything letting the sobs finally come that he held in. Dean tried to comfort him the best he could and also told Seth he was more then welcome to stay as long as he needed. Seth thanked his friend several times before he told Dean that he needed to see Roman. Dean understood but he tried to talk Seth out of it. Seth wouldn't listen he had to try even if Roman never came back he had to at least say he tried. So Seth pulled himself together and began the trek to Roman's house.
Seth took a deep breath as he raised his hand to the wooden door he had never felt so nervous in his entire life. All the possible scenarios played out in his mind. What if Caroline answered, what if Roman wasn't home or what if nobody answered the door at all. Seth steadied his shaking hand as he rapped at the door three times. He waited until the door swung open and Roman stood there with his hair down and a tank top barely hiding his tribal tattoo. He looked shocked to see Seth standing at his door with his hand scratching at the back of his neck. Roman looked behind him to make sure Caroline wasn't around then he stepped out onto the porch and closed the door behind him. "Seth what are you doing here?"
"I came to talk."
Roman shook his head and opened the door stepping inside. He went to close it in Seth's face until the younger man spoke up. "Ro it isn't my baby." This had been enough to prevent him from closing the door. Instead he opened it a little wider. "It isn't?" Seth shook his head as he went to reach for the other man but thought better of it. " So can we please go somewhere and talk."
"Give me a minute."
With this Roman closed the door Seth waited patiently for a few minutes but it seemed like eternity. When Roman came back he had his hair tied up in a loose bun and a shirt on. He stepped next to Seth and closed the door. He sat and Seth followed his lead sitting next to him. "I went home to talk to her Ro, I told her everything about us. I told her when we started being together, I told her that I am deeply fucking in love with you and that I would be there for her but I choose you. I went to leave her Ro, I can't fucking do this anymore. I am sorry so fucking sorry." Seth lifted a hand to his cheek after he realized it was wet and he felt the tears that had leaked from his eyes. He wiped at them before he continued to speak. "I need you Ro, My whole fucking body aches for you and after I told her all this she told me the baby isn't mine." Seth started sobbing harder "I shouldn't have let you go I just want kids so bad. I am sorry Ro." Seth finished talking and Roman just sat there for a moment before he reached out and grabbed Seth's hand. "Let's go see a movie?" Seth just stared at him confused for a second before he shook his head in agreement. Roman stood and reached down to help Seth up they started to walk down the street. "I forgive you Seth, I know I acted like a jackass as well and good god yes I miss you everything about you. I know you did and I am sorry about the baby but fuck I need you." Seth grabbed at Roman's hand and intertwined their fingers. "Does this mean you forgive me." Roman answered the question by pulling Seth in and kissing him softly. They continued their short trip to the theater. Roman paid for their tickets and they made their way inside.
The theater where there movie played was deserted except for the two them. As they took their seats Roman wrapped an arm around Seth's waist and pulled him close. Seth rested his head on Roman's shoulder as they waited for the previews to begin. As the lights dimmed Roman began to plant light kisses along Seth's neck causing the other man to shiver. He ran his fingers along Roman's chest causing a low growl to escape him. Roman turned the light kisses to bites as he moved up to nibble on Seth's ear. "Fuck Ro." Roman chuckled a little as he pulled Seth into his lap planting one of the smaller man's legs on either side of him. Roman grabbed Seth by the back of the neck and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Their tongues collided and wrestled each other as they savored the taste they had been missing. Neither man pulled away until they were panting. Seth ground his hips against Roman the friction causing them to both moan. Roman reached around and grabbed Seth's ass cheeks in both hands giving them a giggle. Then he moved his hands up Seth's shirt and slid it off his body. Roman kissed across Seth's chest making sure to flick his tongue across the other man's nipples. "Fuck." Was his response so he did it again as his hands kneaded at Seth's ass. Seth's slender fingers worked on unbuttoning his pants then Seth slid them down his legs. Seth spread Roman's legs wider so that he could slide between them. His breath was against Roman's length as he wrapped his hand around the base and gave a gentle stroke. Roman let out a low moan as he felt the heat wrap around him. Seth's tongue ran along the slit tasting his wetness. Seth moaned around Roman causing the other man to thrust. Seth gagged a little as he took more he began to suck a little faster. Roman's fingers hooked through his curls as he pulled at Seth's hair. "So fucking good baby." Roman began to fuck the wet heat around him until he felt the burning in his stomach he pulled Seth back up his body setting the other man in his lap. Roman worked on removing his pants and he slid them down in one pull. Seth moaned as he felt Roman's head against his entrance. Seth leaned forward and rested his forehead against Roman's chest as the bigger man plunged into him until he was flat against Seth's ass. Roman waited his hands rubbing at Seth's back until the other man told him to move. Roman thrust in long slow strides not changing the pace as he pushed deep. He brushed against Seth's nerves and deep slutty moan escaped the raven haired man it was music to Roman's ears. He continued the assault on Seth as he kept the thrust long and painfully slow. "Fuck Ro come on baby." Roman started to pick up the pace with quick hard thrust causing the chair to creak beneath them. Seth started to bounce down matching Roman's pace. Both men were panting as sweat dripped from their brows. Seth rested their foreheads together as he bounced on Roman. Both men were close to their climax as Roman thrusted up hard into Seth the other man bounced down causing his eyes to roll into the back of his head as his wetness soaked both their chest the sudden tightness around him caused Roman to spill his climax deep in Seth's walls. Both men crying out the other's name. Roman thrusted slowly until he felt himself go limp he wrapped his arms around Seth's waist as he held him close. Seth now had his head buried in the side of Roman's neck and he could feel tears against his skin. "It's okay baby I forgive you. We are okay I love you." Seth sniffed a little "Will you please take me back." Roman rubbed at his back "Yes of course." Seth pulled away from his neck and gave Roman a kiss he hoped conveyed all the emotions he felt.
Seth sat the last box of his on the floor of Dean's apartment he looked at his best friend and smiled. "Thanks again man." Dean just shrugged him off as Roman came in and closed the door behind him. Things between Seth and Roman were almost normal again. As Roman picked up the box and took it to Seth's room both men followed him. They had been talking and they wanted Roman to come back on the road with them. They talked to Vince about reuniting the shield and he was all for it now they just needed to convince Roman. As Roman sat the box down in the corner of Seth's room both men came in and Dean closed the door behind them. Dean stood in front of the door to block it and and Seth sat beside Roman as he grabbed his hand. "Baby we have been talking and we want you to come back." Roman sighed he missed wrestling if he had to be honest and while he loved being home with his daughter in that aspect of his life there was a void. Roman looked between the two of them. "Even if I wanted to it isn't like Vince will just let me waltz back in." It was Dean's turn to speak this time.
"We have been talking to Vince and he has agreed to let you come back. We can reunite the shield all you have to do is just show up on Raw." Roman felt ecstatic except for leaving his baby girl but he would have a talk with her. Then the thought about Caroline he knew she wouldn't be happy but wrestling was his calling and he wasn't happy in a nine to five job. Roman decided to travel with them to Raw which made the other two more than happy. Seth pulled Roman in for a kiss so Dean pretended to fake throw up. This made all three of them laugh as they got Seth settled in. After most of his things were unpacked Roman excused himself he had to get home and talk to his fiance before the morning when they would head out.
Seth walked him to the door Roman gave him a gentle kiss " I love you. I'll call later okay."
"Okay sounds good. I love you." With this Seth shut the door and gave Dean a high five that had gone better than either one of them expected and it felt good to almost have the gang back together now hopefully things went smooth when Roman broke the news to Caroline.
Seth waited most of the evening for Roman to call him he was nervous about what would happen. Seth knew that Roman's fiance wouldn't be happy that had always been her biggest complaint was that Roman cared too much about work. Seth felt this was very selfish it made Roman happy and provided for them he never understood how she could act like that and he never thought he would. Seth lied on his bed and tried to read but he felt himself getting very sleepy he kept drifting in and out of sleep so he closed the book and sat it to the side. Seth yawned and pulled the covers up over his head he wanted to stay awake but was unsure of how much longer he would be able too. He had just started to doze off when he heard his phone going off. Seth scrambled to find it then he answered it a yawn breaking through as he did so. "Hello."
"Hey babe." Seth could tell from the tone of Roman's voice it hadn't gone well and his heart dropped. "I will see you guys tomorrow."
"What happened?"
Roman took a deep breath and Seth wished he could be there to embrace his lover and let him know it would be okay but he couldn't be. "It's okay Ro."
"She reacted exactly how you thought she would. She was pissed and threatened me like always. Right back to her same old self." Seth felt really sad and bad for Roman. "Ro you don't have to do this."
"I do Seth my life has a hole without wrestling and doing what I love is worth it. It's not your fault get some rest."
Seth understood completely how the other man felt it was apart of them. "I will try you get some as well I love you Ro."
"Love you baby boy." With this the other end of the line went dead. Seth hung up the phone and sat it aside then he pulled the covers back up over his head and closed his eyes as he willed himself to get some sleep.
