Solstice

Start Of The Hunt

*Seth's P.O.V.*

I poked my head outside my apartment room every second of the day until I saw Roman. I had to ask him about Dean and try to hatch a plan to get him here.

"Roman ! Wait up !" I yelled as I caught him before going down the stairs. "I talked to Dean yesterday, remember him ? Dean Ambrose ?

"Yeah ! That's my boy ! How's he been ?" he asked.

"Not too bad, still in New York."

"He always liked that place. Dude, I haven't seen him in a few months."

"I was thinking, what if he came to visit ?" I asked.

"Were you two friends ? Cause I never saw you two together or talking." he asked right back.

"I had an event to do in New York, we met, the usual. But just think, what if he got to be with his friends again ? Maybe some new friends ...."

"You wouldn't try to sleep with him, would you ? Cause he's not gay. You did know that, right ?"

"Uh, yeah. I'm not stupid, haha. And I wouldn't try anything like that. Maybe Tyler, but I'm saved, you know that." I told him.

"Just because you buy holy water and drink it doesn't mean you're saved. Anyways, I'd like to see him here for a few days. Maybe we could pitch some money together for a flight."

I already had the plan in mind, so I just had to put it in action. In the meantime, I tried my best to talk to Dean. On some nights, he was too tired. On others, I just fell asleep and never tried.

"Hey Seth, where's my hair spray ?" Tyler asked me.

"It's under the sink."

"Are you talking to yourself again ?" he asked from the bathroom.

"I'm kinda on the phone."

"Pay attention to me ! I'll fight you Seth, I'll fight you in a heartbeat. How dare you cheat on me while I'm in the same room as you !" Tyler said joking around.

"Dean, I'll talk to you later." I hung up my phone. "Dude ! You didn't even use the high pitched voice !"

"Ohhhhh, talking to the sexy lice kid huh ? And I don't have to sound like a 1950's housewife. My voice is high pitched enough."

"Don't be an ass, he got rid of that long ago." I smiled. "Now I have to explain to him that was just my roommate being a dick !" I yelled as I chased him around the place.

*Dean's P.O.V.*

"Dean ! What's up dude !? It's so good to hear your voice again, it's Roman !"

"Roman ! How long has it been ?" I yelled in excitement.

"About two years since you been in Cali. Some months since we talked. I have to keep track of my best friend. How you holding up ?"

"You know, just fixing cars and going with the flow. You ?"

"Football really. Remember Seth and Tyler ? Well they're roommates and they live right next to me."

"Yeah, Seth told me. I don't really remember Tyler, but I saw on facebook and thought he had a house though ?"

"Seriously ? He's only 22. What were you doing looking at-"

"So I was thinking about making a visit there soon, but it'll be a while before I get enough money built up." I said.

"You know, we were just talking about getting you down here. The twins would go crazy seeing you again."

"What about Brie ?" I questioned.

"I'm sure she'd .... be speechless that's for sure. Don't tell me you wanna see her." he responded.

"Kinda trying to avoid her actually. I still remember what happened. I just hope by now she knows that it wasn't my fault. But so much else has happened since that day. There's other reasons why I don't wanna see her."

"Well you don't worry about Brie or the money thing, we'll take care of it. You just get ready to ask off for a week." he said laughing.

"I already have my calendar marked. But while I got you on the line, how's Seth ?"

"He's fine I guess ? Just that new blonde patch he got for his birthday. Why ?" he asked.

"This is gonna sound crazy. When he was down here, he came up and talked to me for like, a long time right ? The next day he showed up at my job to get his car worked on, but there wasn't a problem with it. You don't think he's ...."

"Yeah, he's gay. Just say it. G-A-Y. Gaaaaeeeeyyyyyy. I remember when he first came out. He thought everyone was gonna judge him and all that, but no. I was the first to tell him I didn't care. We pretty much bonded everyday after that. Hell, that was a little bit before you left."

"Do you think he, you know, likes me ?" I asked him.

"Are you trying to tell me something ?"

"No. I just got that feeling from him and we literally just finished talking." I said.

"Hmm." he said pausing. "You know we're bestfriends. And just because you moved across the country doesn't change that. So if you got something to say, I'm all ears."

"I'll talk to you the day I get there. I have to go ." I said hanging up.

*Roman's P.O.V.*

Later that night, I decided to get a little inside scoop on Dean. A lot happens in two years, and if he talked to Seth earlier today, then I think I know what it is.

"Seth, open up. We have to talk." I said banging on the door.

"Roman ? What the hell man ? It's almost midnight." he said wearily rubbing his eyes.

"Dude, tell me everything you know about Dean."

"Umm, I don't know. We kinda barely just met."

"You have to know something about him that I don't."

"Umm, I found out he likes 3LW, that's all I can think of if you want some dirt on him. Why ?"

"He asked about you today when I talked to him on the phone." I told him.

"Really ? What did he say ?"

"Nothing, but I know he's hiding something. I thought he was coming out to me, but he hung up the phone."

"Well, he didn't say anything out the ordinary to me. But keep me posted." he said shutting the door.

For all I knew, I just put Seth on the look out for a guy he couldn't get. Dean probably was gonna tell me he didn't want to be anywhere near Seth for all I knew. Pretty sure I just started a gay hunt and my bestfriend was the victim.
