I'm Here For You 《Ambrollins》

Their Pasts {58}

Seth and Dean had a few days off, they said that they want to prepare for their match, but actually they just wanted to be at home. On their way, they picked up Dean's stuff from the depot and took them to Seth's, and Dean's, house.

Now they were getting ready to go out and eat something. The reason was that there was nothing in the fridge.

'Ready?' Seth asked while he was slipping in his white sneakers. He wore black skinny jeans and a black shirt with a plain white shirt under it.
Dean came from the bedroom, he wore jeans and a white shirt with a white wifebeater under it.
'Yeah, but I can't find my shoes.' Dean said looking through the pairs of shoes that stood next to the door.
'You mean the black ones? They stand in the living room.' Seth said. As he stood up straight.

Dean rushed in the living room and came back with his shoes on.
'Now I'm ready.' He said.
'I need one more thing.' Seth said and Dean rolled his eyes.
Seth saw that and smiled, then he placed a kiss on Dean's cheek.
'Now we can go.' Seth said and Dean blushed a bit.

They decided to walk to the restaurant incase they would drink something afterwards.
'You heard something from Roman lately?' Seth asked.
'No, the last time was after Money In The Bank.' Dean answered.
'If anything's okay?' Seth asked a bit worried.
'I don't know. But I think yes. He would have called or so if something bad happened.' Dean said, calming Seth down.
'Anyways, you okay with steak and fries?' Seth asked smiling.
'That's more than acceptable.' Dean smiled back.

They walked like 20 minutes and stopped in front of a white building on which stood Dusty's Burgers 'n' Steaks.
It was a nice little restaurant, including a bar in the edge of the room. There were only a few people in there, which means they won't have to do any or not much fan stuff.
They walked in through the double door which rang as it opened and closed.
Then a kind looking man in his mid 50th, with grey hair and glasses showed up behind the counter.
'Good afternoon what can I.. Seth? Is that you?' The man asked.
'Please not a fan that wants to talk for hours before taking our order.' Dean said to himself.
But to his surprise Seth nodded smiling and greeted him with his name.
'Hey Dusty. Yeah, it's me. And this is Dean, my boyfriend.' Seth said an Dean frowned. Why did he say that they are a couple.
Seth saw Dean's reaction and smiled at him.
'By the way, Dean, this is Dusty, he's kinda my uncle. Well, actually not, he's the best friend of my mom, but he was always there. At my or Brandon's birthdays, BBQ's, trips actually the whole time since my dad wasn't there for me.' Seth explained, the last words a bit mumbled.
Dean gave him a concerned look, he knew the story about his dad, but they never talked about it after Seth once explained it back in the Shield, ending up crying.
'Hello, Dean.' Dusty said after he walked around the counter. He reached out his hand, and Dean shook it.
'Hey.' Dean said a bit overwhelmed with everything.
Dusty pulled Dean nearer to him and whispered something in his ear. As Dean pulled away he had a smile on his face, but rather a feared smile.
Seth was curious but decided to ask Dean later.
'What you wanna eat?' Dusty asked.
'Two steaks with fries, and Dean takes the same.' Seth answered and then pushed Dean to the tables.
They sat down and Seth started asking.
'What did he say? Why were you feared?' Seth asked.
Dean shook his head.
'Nothing.' Dean said, but Seth looked at him in disbelief.
'Well, he said if I ever dare to hurt you, I won't see the next day.' Dean said.
Seth only laughed.
'Dean, I can promise you, he won't do anything to you. That's just the way he is.' Seth said and grabbed Dean's hand under the table. Dean sighed in relief.

Then their food came to their table and they started eating.
'Seth, you made me worry about Roman. It isn't his way to just not call me, or message me, or since you two are okay, he could at least message you.' Dean said.
'I know, that was the reason I asked you. I'll just text him a hey or something like this.' Seth answered and pulled out his phone.
He quickly taped a message and pressed the send button.
'Well, let's eat again. Roman will text back sooner or later.' Seth said and grabbed his fork to eat again.

After they finished they ordered two beer and sat down at the bar. Dusty soon joined them and they chatted a bit.
'The last time you were eating here, your tag partner Jimmy was with you. That's a looong time ago.' Dusty said.
Seth chuckled.
'It really is. Dean, do you know Jimmy? Jimmy Jacobs.' Seth asked Dean.
'Yeah, I had a few matches against him, back in CZW.' Dean answered.
'Now I know where I saw you.' Dusty said chuckling.
'Jon Moxley, right?' He asked.
Dean nodded.
'You were in a tag team, with Sami Callihan. I always enjoyed your matches and promos.' Dusty said and Dean smiled.
'Yeah, he was one of my best friends, but we haven't seen each other in ages. He was like a brother for me, since my family wasn't really the best. But when I came to Florida, Seth and Roman became my family.' Dean explained.

Seth laid a hand down on Dean's knee, he didn't really know much about Dean's former friends. But he was sure he will get to know more about it, but not now, since Dusty and Dean already changed the topic again.
'I think, my favorite match type were the dog collar matches. It was great that your opponents weren't able to run away when the fear in him was too big.
'Those matches were great.' Dusty agreed.
Seth listened to them and after a while Dean stood up and yawned.
'I think we should go now, Dean is getting tired.' Seth said.
'How much you want?' Dean asked Dusty while he pulled out his purse.
'Nothing. Just promise me to come back anytime soon.' He said and Dean nodded smiling.

They said their goodbyes and then walked back home. Since it was already dark they didn't care about other people and held hands.
They enjoyed the cool air while they walked along the lake where Dean pushed Seth over with his wheelchair when it was frozen.
'You remember last winter?' Dean asked. Seth snickered.
'Of course, I was so fucking scared, but I didn't want to show it.' Seth answered.
Dean looked at him in disbelief.
'Seriously? You were shaking like a nodding dog. And to calm you down I stroke over your chest. Damn, the sparkles I felt.' Dean chuckled.
'You too?' Seth asked laughing as well.
'Well, now I don't have to hide it anymore.' Dean said and kissed Seth.
'I don't have to either.' Seth said and slapped Dean's butt.
'Come on, let's get home.' Seth said and intertwined their fingers.
