What's Wrong With You?

-10-

It was a little bit over 5:30 AM when Roman woke up to the sound of the bathroom door slamming shut. As he was facing at Seth direction already, he opened his eyes to find himself alone on the bed. He turned his back and looked at Seth as he came out of the bathroom and walked towards the bed tightening his pajamas.

"Hey," said Roman looking at Seth with his shrunken eyes. Seth got startled and let out a gasp, getting his hands off his pants. His big brown eyes looked at Roman as he said, "When did you get up?"

"Just now," replied Roman in his sleepy voice, stretching himself a little although he was not ready to get up from his sleeping position.

"It's going to be 6 but I want to sleep more," breathed Seth, climbing into the bed. He then crawled towards his position whereas Roman tried to drift into a light sleep as he was too tired. As soon as Seth was about to lay himself down, he felt a sharp pain over his neck. He had been feeling the pain since the very morning which was why he had been to the bathroom a while ago in order to check on it. He had sprained his neck last night and the pain seemed unbearable.

He let out a short cry as soon as he felt the pain once again. His head landed on the pillow with a thud right then. Roman opened his eyes and looked beside him to find Seth fingering his neck with agony.

"You alright, Seth?" gasped Roman, placing his hand over Seth's shoulder gently.

Seth looked at Roman and let out a gentle laugh."Of course," he smiled, still fingering his neck.

"Are you sure, bud?" Roman raised his eyebrows out of concern. He had never expected Seth to smile in that situation and it was strange that he smiled.

"It's nothing, I assure you!" said Seth."Yeah, it hurts a little bit but I'll be fine." Seth did not know why he was keeping it from Roman. He had sprained his neck when he tried to stand up while Kane had him in a headlock. Roman changed his position a little and went closer to Seth. His eyes were fixed upon Seth's neck. He then held the neck of Seth's shirt between his fingers and pulled it down Seth's shoulder gently. He noticed the swelling between the neck and the right shoulder but didn't say a word as he was then sure that Seth bluffed him about his pain being a brief one.

Roman, then, placed his hand over Seth's neck and started to massage him gently over the swelled area.

"Roman, it's okay,"

"Sh,"

Although Seth did not have a lot of things going on in his head because of the pain, he was still ecstatic about the fact that Roman was actually massaging his neck. Even though Roman's palms were hard, Seth was very much comfortable, as he needed it. He needed it badly. Roman's hand felt warm and his gentle massage made Seth almost forget the pain. He could barely keep his eyes open because of the pain and the massage made him feel more sleepy. He instantly fell asleep for a short while as the pain did not let him stay awake any longer.

It was 6 AM when Seth woke up to his phone vibrating. He grabbed his phone that was lying beside his pillow and found that he had got a text message from Dean. He put it back under his pillow without seeing what the message was. As soon as he felt the pain over his neck once again, he turned his head towards Roman's direction. He froze in his own position wide eyed.

Roman was lying asleep with his hand resting on Seth's neck and that was just too much for Seth. It was clear that Roman had fallen asleep while he kept massaging Seth's neck but Seth could not just help blushing to himself.

Seth tried to nudge him awake. "Hey, Rom" he whispered shaking Roman by his shoulder. He, then, let out a short gasp as he realised that when he placed his hand on Roman's shoulder while Roman already had his hand resting on Seth's neck, they were almost in each other's arms. Seth felt his heart beat getting faster. He bit his lower lip. He then shook his head hard trying not to think about it anymore and continued waking Roman up.
