What's Wrong With You?

-43-

I'm so sorry, this is going to be another chapter before Battleground 2016 as the Battleground chapter is going to be a really important chapter but I got chickenpox so I'll be writing it when I get cured from it =)

Roman stood by the door of his locker room, waiting for Dean to show up. He then started to walk along the corridor wondering what was taking Dean so long. "What is Dean talking to Seth about?" he murmured to himself. "Or by any chance did they get into a fight? I must go and see!"

Roman fastened his pace as he walked along the corridor. He found the door to Seth's locker room on his way but before he walked past it, he paused for a while, staring at it. A prolonged muffled voice was heard from the other side of the door. Roman went closer to the door and pressed his ear onto it to hear Seth sobbing loudly. This worried Roman. He wondered whether he would just push the door open or knock at the door until he would hear a response from Seth. He couldn't hear Dean's voice as all that he could hear was Seth's sobs and hiccups. Roman then walked further, walking towards Dean's locker room, hoping he would find Dean there. As soon as he reached Dean's locker room, he pushed the door open, not even bothering to knock at it.

He found Dean inside as he had expected but what he had not expected was to see Dean crying into his own hands. "Dean!" gasped Roman, rushing towards Dean. As soon as Dean looked up at Roman with his watery eyes, Roman wrapped his arms around Dean and hugged him tight. Dean buried his face into Roman's chest as he continued to cry. "Ssh, it's okay Dean. It's okay." Roman snuggled Dean in order to calm him down.

"What happened?" said Roman after about a minute, still holding Dean in his arms.

Dean got his head off Roman's chest and wiped his tears immediately. He sniffed hard before he said, "Roman, I hugged Seth... And he let me hug him!"

"Really?" gasped Roman, while he gently ran his hand over Dean's tear stained face.

"Yeah. He told me that he would never ever have our back again! So I told him that I don't wanna get into fights with him anymore and asked him whether we could go back being strangers after Battleground. He just kept staring at me and answered nothing. So I hugged him right then." narrated Dean. "Roman, I know, he definitely doesn't wanna go back being a stranger to us. His reaction said it all. He's just mad at us at the moment, I know you don't believe a single word that I'm saying... -"

"No, I believe you!" said Roman, interrupting Dean.

"You do?" Dean widened his weepy eyes.

"Yes, I do. I just walked past Seth's room and I heard him cry. Trust me, he was crying so loud that you could hear him clearly if you tried to hear closely." said Roman, whereas more tears formed inside Dean's eyes. "And Dean, it was really a clever idea. We can now say that Seth is just mad at us. But for what reason, that we don't know. I'll talk to him sometime later in order to find out why he's mad at us. Maybe that'd help him get things off his chest and we'll be all good."

"Even I want him back, Roman. He thought he left us for his own good but as soon as his knee got damaged, The Authority stopped caring about him and he knows about it! Don't you think should come back to us already?" sobbed Dean.

"Look, Dean. I feel the same way as you're feeling right now. But I guess he needs his own time. Good things always take time. For now... Unless and until he comes back to us, we've got to keep haunting him." laughed Roman.

"Like blood hounds?" said Dean, laughing between his cries.

"Yeah!" laughed Roman, cuddling Dean tight.

Battleground was two months later but before that, came another pay per view event, Money In The Bank. Dean was a part of the MITB ladder match where he came out as the winner and won the MITB briefcase as the prize. And since their match was the opening match, Dean spent the rest of his time sitting inside his locker room watching the others events on TV.
