Roman felt sorry for Seth, he had a heart full of gratitude but was unlucky when it came to making friends. Everyone mistook him for a proud and a self centered guy whereas he was just a loner. Roman snuggled more into Seth's lap and closed his eyes with a soft smile. Seth let out a gentle laugh and placed his hand over Roman's chest. "Is my lap that comfortable?"

"Hmm. You healed me to a great extent." replied Roman. "But if you ever feel lonely or if there's anything you wanna share, you can always tell me even though I'm not a healer as good as you."

"Aww, even you had helped me during the car stunt scenes. I wonder what would've happened if you hadn't been here." said Seth as he ran his hand over Roman's chest in gentle round movements. Roman looked up at Seth as he then made out that Seth was extremely nice to him because he was thankful to him for helping him out.

"Seth?" said Roman after staring at Seth for a while. "Since we've been opening up to each other, can I ask you why did you start hating me?"

Seth quickly gave Roman a surprised look and Roman was extremely confused by that. "Wh-what do you mean!?" asked Seth.

"Because, I know we hate each other ever since we met... but I don't know the reason behind it. Its not like I disliked you or something during our first meet. To be very honest, I hated you since I made out that you hated me."

"Hey... That should be me asking it to you. When you joined FCW, I really liked how you were in the ring and I wanted to work with you together in matches. But I was very disappointed and I produced the feeling of hatred towards you when I came to know that you said I was skinny and weak, and you'd never choose a weakling like me as your tag team partner."

"Hey, when did I say that!? I don't remember saying something like that about you!!" Roman freaked out.

"That was during the tag team tournament which you won having Breeze as your partner." said Seth plainly.

"Yeah okay, I chose Breezy as my partner not because I didn't want to choose you but because he and I were good friends. Heck, I hadn't even started speaking to you during that time. And by the way how did you know that I called you skinny and a weakling?? Did you hear me saying that? Obviously not. So who did you hear it from?" asked Roman, still in a panic.

Seth lowered his eyes, gently stroking his thumb over Roman's chest. Roman released his breath trying to calm himself down and allowed Seth to take his time to answer. "Summer did." gulped Seth.

"Who... Summer Rae!?" gasped Roman.

"Yeah," sighed Seth. "When she was announcing, she was like 'since Leakee said he would never choose a weakling who's half his weight as his partner, we're getting him and Dalton as a tag team..." That 'weakling' was obviously meant to be me because I was the one who had the lowest weight among me, Breeze and Aries. We were the only competitors left."

"Don't you know, Seth, Summer was just an anchor and she has to speak all those stuff in order to convey people there's a lot of competition and rivalry between the competitors in the locker room. I've never said such things about you. Never. I'm not a person to look down on anybody like that. Have I ever made fun of your weight in all those years of knowing you?" said Roman trying his best to explain Seth that Summer was only bluffing.

Seth shook his head slowly. "All we've done is to argue with each other but I don't remember you making fun of my weight." said Seth slowly. "So it was all a misunderstanding, that lead us to a prolonged rivalry, where I dedicated each and every second of my life to become better than you... in order to prove you I'm not a weakling, I'm Seth Rollins."

Roman slowly lifted himself up and put his arms around Seth, hugging him warmly. "In all these years of knowing each other, I had been thinking of you as a disgusting person as I thought you hate me for no reason. But you did have a reason to hate me. You were enraged by what you heard from Summer and you wanted to prove me you're way better than that. I don't blame you. If I was you, it would've been the same for me. Thanks for telling me everything." said Roman while hugging Seth.

Seth wrapped his arms around Roman's waist and melted into the hug. It felt so good. He felt his broken emotional heart get soothed by the affection Roman was providing him. "Thanks for letting me know what made you hate me. It all happened because of a misunderstanding. And now that you came to comfort me because I was feeling down, I'm gonna think differently about you." continued Roman.

"Roman... " Seth whispered into Roman's ear. "You're the only person other than my family who I've known for long."

Seth then separated himself from Roman and stared into his eyes. "Even though we've been each other's rivals all these years, I don't think anyone understands me as much as you do. I was extremely surprised when you covered up the whole situation and did my stunt scene for me. It was hard to see you take risk for me so all I did was to pray for you to be safe, whilst you were driving."

Roman kept looking into Seth's eyes. They remained silent while the sounds of the sea were the only sounds heard. "Thanks Roman. I don't know how I shall return you your favor but thank you." said Seth.

Roman slowly laid back resting his head onto Seth's lap once again whereas Seth gently placed his hand on Roman's chest. "You must be too tired," said Seth gently as he observed how Roman's face had its colors drained and his eyes were all heavy.

"Yeah... Very much tired." said Roman sounding drunk whereas Seth started to move his hand all over Roman's chest once again gently.

"Get some rest then," said Seth, smiling warmly at Roman. As Roman sensed Seth's fingers on his chest, he felt as if Seth were some kind of God of love. Seth was a really kind person, Roman couldn't help feeling glad that he got to know what kind of person Seth actually was. As he grew fonder of Seth, he started to think of Seth as a person he must cherish and look after.

"But Seth, you're tired too. Lets go into our room." said Roman.

"I can sit here for hours looking at the sea. It soothes me." said Seth, his eyes fixed upon the sea.

Roman lay relaxed with his head resting on Seth's lap for a few more minutes before he lifted himself up again and sat up. They looked at one another again as Roman spoke, "Seth, no. I think we should go inside. You need sleep for real, as we have to wake up early."

Seth went speechless and continued to stare into Roman's eyes as he was surprised by how Roman was really concerned about him. "We're going to get busier from now onwards. There are gonna be more hours of shooting and we've to work our butt off for shooting them. We're a team and we shan't disappoint Gable." continued Roman.

Roman went silent again as he realized he was again starting to command like how he does during their shooting hours. He observed Seth's lips slowly getting curved to a smile and got confused. "Every movie should have a director like you." said Seth and then stood up. Roman stood up right after and the two made their way to the hotel that was located opposite to the beach.

"Hey, are you serious? I mean, there are different kinds of people that sit on the director seat like cool people, moody people, dominating people, intimidating people... So what are you categorizing me in?" asked Roman curiously, as they walked together.

Seth let out a gentle laugh as Roman was speaking. "It doesn't matter if you're way too cool or way too moody. The one sitting on the director seat must think of each person working with him, as a part of his team. He must worry about each and every person in the team, not just about himself. If you're taking your time to look into each and everyone's problems and trying your best to solve them, then you're an amazing director. Directors like these are hard to find these days." said Seth. Roman stayed quiet as he could feel it very much how thankful Seth was to him and how glad he was to have him as their director.
