There's always a plan B" Hunter said with a smirk, I tried to run my mouth like I always do but nothing would come out. Roman fell onto the ground beside me, I knew what was coming next. I stared in horror at Seth, his face expressionless as he charged at me, steel chair in hand. The power of the chair hitting me in the chest winding me before another blow hit me on the back forcing me down onto the mat. The blows didn't stop coming, eventually I rolled over onto my front in hopes of being able to protect myself. I yell out in pain wondering how this was happening. Why was our brother doing this to us. I closed my eyes in hopes it would all be over soon. "Nighty night Dean" I heard Seth chuckle. I opened my eyes to see him looking down on me smirking chair ready to slam down into my face. Those words echoed in my head as the chair came down.
"Dean!" I bolted up straight in my bed gasping, beads of sweat on my forehead. "Nightmare again?" A sleepy but concerned sounding Seth piped up from the other side of the room. I simply nodded in response before shrugging it off trying to keep up my usual tough guy persona. "What is that like the 5th time this week now?" Seth questioned getting up and sitting on the edge of my bed. I had never told Seth about my nightmares because why would I? Me and him are friends now, this stuff was in the past. I told myself I was over that, I was ready to trust him again...we were back to being brothers.
I was snapped out of my trail of thought by him brushing my hair off my forehead. "You're all clammy feeling, yuck" he chuckled and pulled a silly expression causing me to smile slightly. His facial expression quickly changed to concern again "so you going to tell me what happened this time big guy?"
I sighed and rolled over on my side to face away from him "I really don't want to talk about it, it's nothing" I mumbled as I tried to pull up my sheets. "It's nothing? Dean don't lie to me" Seth whined before tackling me and forcing me to look at him. "If it's nothing then how come you've been waking up in cold sweats every night? If it's nothing then why are you falling asleep in the gym during our work outs because you're that sleep deprived? Tell me why, Dean" He said centimetres away from my face.
I stared into his large brown eyes. This was not the same Seth I knew back then. This Seth genuinely cared about me and was worried about me? The old Seth was a bit of a punk and became selfish towards the end of the shield days. He really had changed. I couldn't tell him he's the reason I'm not sleeping, we had only just got back together and I told him I trusted him. Its bad enough it took us 3 years to even try to make up but now we're tag team champions and having a lot of fun together, like old times.
Tears began to form in the corners of Seth's eyes. "Waoh you big baby, what you crying for?" I said before pulling him into a tight hug.
"I know it's because of me, Dean. What I did to you and Roman back then" Seth mumbled as his face was buried in my shirt, I tensed up at his words, how did he know. "You talk in your sleep, it wasn't too difficult to work it out. I'm so sorry Dean. I didn't think it hurt you as bad as it did, I was just doing what I thought was best for us...well for me I guess. I was such a selfish pri-" I cut him off by placing my hand over his mouth. I really couldn't handle Seth being all apologetic on me again. Not now.
He licked my hand causing me to pull it away and wipe it on the sheets "eww Seth, what the hell" he stared at me unamused at the way I had cut him off. "Ambrose, this is serious" he pouted doing his sad puppy face. "I really want for this to work out...I've missed this. I've missed us" he paused "I'm here for you" his voice trailed off as he buried his face into my shirt again. I felt the lump that was slowly building at the back of my throat attacking me. I laid there not really knowing what to say, not wanting to say anything in fear I'd actually start tearing up myself.
I hugged him tightly again and petted his soft hair and looked up at the ceiling trying to find the words to say. "Seth, I know you've changed and I do trust you but I guess part of me still isn't over the past yknow" I managed to get it before I started choking up. Seth wrapped his arms around me holding me just as tightly as I was holding him. "This is no way your fault, we've just got a lot of history and us being together again is just subconsciously bringing that all back up" I said, voice cracking up halfway.
"Are we going to be okay?" Seth asked after a short period of silence. I glanced down at him still resting his face on my chest "yeah...of course we will Sethie" I smiled. "Sethie?" He laughed n sat up slightly "I thought that nickname died out" he sighed.
"Well clearly not" I giggled n ruffled his hair causing most of it to fall onto his face, which he quickly tried to blow out of his face. Slowly Seth stood up and stretched "right, it's getting late, Dean. Think I'm going to call it a night" he yawned before looking back at me "you going to be alright?"
"Yeah...I'll be fine" I replied sinking down into my sheets getting ready to try sleep again and with that Seth smiled and headed back to his own bed. A wave of panic suddenly came over me as I watched him walk away "actually...Seth, uh...never mind" I mumbled and turned away feeling myself turning red for just thinking about asking him to share with me. He turned back to look at me confused by my random out burst.
"Dean? Sure you're going to be alright?"Seth asked, his voice now sleeping sounding. I shrugged and slapped myself for being so pathetic.
"Seth, can you sleep with me? No not like that before you start. Like uh share my bed, nothing weird. Just don't want to sleep alone" I mumbled out as fast as I could talk not even caring if he could work out what I said. I heard a quiet laugh and footsteps approach my bed before having a kiss placed on my forehead. "All you had to do was ask big guy" he chuckled with a wink. I felt my face getting warmer and hid under my sheets "piss off, Seth" I scoffed causing him to laugh more.
"Jeez I was just teasing you, now budge over if you want me to share with you...or don't" he sighed at my stubbornness as he climbed over me and laid down facing me.
I eventually gave in and chucked some of the sheets over him "you looked cold is all..." I said toughly so he wouldn't get any ideas. He snuggled down under the blankets and closed his eyes. "Good night, Dean" he yawned and turned off the bed side light and shuffled closer to me before placing an arm over me and pulling me in. I sighed before laughing and placing an arm over him accepting my fate "Good night, Seth" I yawned back and placed a kiss on his forehead which caused him to smile.
~ time skip~
From that night on me and Seth continued to share a bed, nowadays I don't even have to ask him to join me he just does out of routine. Oddly enough the nightmares stopped too, it seems like any doubts I had about Seth just vanished away that night.

Not sure how I feel about the ending...
