The next morning came and went as the three of them slept well into the afternoon. Dean was the first up and he was careful not to wake Seth or Roman as he made his way downstairs. He checked the pocket of his jacket to make sure his surprise was still where he left it. Dean couldn't wait to surprise the two men during dinner later that evening. He just hoped they felt the same way he did. He walked into the kitchen and turned the coffeemaker on, grabbing three mugs from the cupboard ready to fill up and take upstairs to his boyfriends.

'Boyfriends' Dean mumbled, trying out the sound of it

If someone had told Dean a year ago that he'd have a boyfriend he would have laughed in their face, but now he had two and he had never been happier. Dean's mind was busy as he waited for the coffee to brew. So much so that he didn't notice Roman making his way into the kitchen

"I thought I heard you ambrosing around down here" Roman commented as he made his way towards him

He settled his head between Dean's shoulder and neck, leaving soft kisses against his skin. "How are you feeling?"

During their celebration, Dean had experienced for himself what Roman's dick felt like and despite how much Dean seemed to enjoy it, Roman was still worried he'd hurt him

"Great" Dean replied as Roman wrapped his arms around his waist

"So you're not scared of it anymore then?" Roman teased

"I wasn't scared!" Dean denied "I was just...worried my ass would never be the same after taking that thing"

"Sure you weren't" Roman replied with a smile

"Ro?" Dean turned around. "You know when I said about how I wanted to propose to Seth?"

"Yeah" Roman answered

"Is that something you wanted to?" Dean asked

"Absolutely" Roman confirmed. "It's just a shame we can't all get married to each other"

Dean sighed as Roman initiated a kiss. Physical touch was Roman's love language, and he was so good at it. They were still making out when Seth made his way downstairs and he stayed quiet as he enjoyed the scene in front of him. Eventually, the coffeemaker beeped and Roman and Dean parted.

"Morning" Seth said as both men noticed him, looking his way

"How long have you been standing there?" Dean asked.

"Long enough" Seth answered. "I was enjoying the view too until the coffee maker interrupted"

Later that night, the three of them arrived at the restaurant for dinner and both Roman and Seth had noticed how one edge Dean was. They were led to their table and Seth took the seat between Roman and Dean, smiling as Roman placed his hand on his knee beneath the table. Dean tapped his fingers against the table as they waited for the waitress to take their order.

"Are you ok?" Roman asked

Dean looked at the older man after realising he was talking to him. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

"You're kinda twitchy" Roman pointed out

The waitress saved Dean from having to reply, and the three men quickly ordered their meals and drinks.

"Do you think I'm going bald?"

Dean's question caught both men off guard. Dean had been visibly balding for years, but neither man wanted to make a point of it.

"I mean..." Roman was struggling for the right words

"Cos I've noticed it's been falling out in the shower" Dean added

Seth opened his mouth to speak but decided against it

"I even tried this special shampoo but all it did was thicken my chest hair" Dean continued "I've accepted it"

Dean lifted his shirt up to show Roman and Dean his chest hair

"Babe, were in public" Roman reminded as Seth giggled beside him

Their food arrived, and Dean picked up a shoot of asparagus with his fingers. "Is this the stuff that makes your pee smell?"

Neither man replied as Seth tucked into his chicken fillet and Roman took a sip of his drink

"Only one way to find out I suppose" Dean mumbled as he bit into the asparagus

They finished their meal and Dean reached into the pocket of his jacket, pulling out two ring boxes. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking as he placed one in front of Seth and then Roman.

"So I know we've only been dating for a short while and it's probably crazy that I'm even asking this" Dean started before pausing to drink "but I don't wanna be with anyone else. You guys are it for me"

Roman smiled as he reached across the table to grab Dean's hand. "Can we open the box?"

Dean blinked "Yeah"

Roman and Seth opened the boxes to reveal a tricolored promise ring

"I know we can't legally get married as a polyamorous couple" Dean added "but with this ring I'm asking you both to marry me

"I know we can't legally get married as a polyamorous couple" Dean added "but with this ring I'm asking you both to marry me. If it ever gets legalised"

Seth cried, and Dean panicked
"Sethie?"

"I will" Seth replied before leaning forward to kiss Dean before doing the same to Roman. "I love you both so much"

Dean let out a sigh. "Jeez, you scared me. I thought I'd upset you"

Seth shook his head. "I'm just happy"

Roman admired the ring as he slid it onto his finger. "I like the design. I probably would have chosen something similar."

"The different color bands represent the three of us" Dean answers "coming together as one."

"I like it" Roman adds "and I will"

The three of them left the restaurant and made their way towards the house they wanted to show Seth.

"Where are we going?" Seth asked as he realised they weren't on their way back.

"It's a surprise" Dean answered

Seth grew nervous despite himself. He knew that Roman and Dean would never do something to upset him, but the thought of the unknown made him uncomfortable

Dean took his hand. "It's nothing bad. I promise"

Seth leant against the older man's shoulder and Dean turned to kiss him on the head

"Does this ring mean we're engaged?" Seth asked

"I guess it does" Dean answered "and hopefully one day we'll be able to be husbands."
