The Shield One Shots Book 2!

Secret Lovers Pt16/Ambrollins

 Dean Ambrose stared out the small window of the airplane and sighed shakily, thankful that because of the late time the plane wasn't full. He pulled the hood of his hoodie down further on his head, keeping him hidden from prying eyes. He felt like a complete failure and had left the hotel before his two best friends...brothers and former Shield stablemates Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins; Dean's boyfriend, had returned from the arena. He had turned his phone off to avoid their texts and calls, he couldn't talk to them, not after he had let them and himself down. Tonight he had lost everything the three of them had worked so damn hard to fix and call their own. He leaned his head against the wall of the plane and wrapped his arms around himself, as he thought about everything that's happened to them that led to this moment.

 Their life together wasn't easy, it was filled with many regrets; all of them Seth's! He had always loved Dean, but had never found the courage to tell him while they were in The Shield. After he destroyed The Shield, betraying his brothers and joined The Authority, Seth realized too late he had made two of the biggest mistakes of his life; betraying the only two people who truly loved him and not telling Dean about his love. Knowing he couldn't fix their brotherhood he decided to go after Dean, his efforts paid off and they became a secret couple, sneaking around for two years with no one; including Roman knowing. That changed when The Authority found out and confronted them in front of Roman; who pissed off they hid that from him, stormed out. The Authority tried to break them up, but nothing worked, until they threatened to fire Roman! To protect him they agreed and ended their love, but it didn't last long though thanks to Roman, who got them back together. He protected them, covering for them and running interference between his brothers and The Authority; all three continuing to play their parts, acting like they hated each other.

 Unfortunately, The Authority found out they were still together and furious they confronted Dean alone and threatened to fire Seth if he didn't break up with him. To protect him Dean agreed, he broke up with him in a voicemail, before he went back to Vegas for two weeks. After finding out what happened Seth refusing to lose Dean again, quit the WWE and went after him. When he found out Dean refused to let Seth throw everything away for him and so while Seth slept, Dean called Hunter and got his job and position back, promising to stay away from Seth. The next day Dean told Seth and broke up with him, before Seth left broken-hearted. Not wanting Dean to go through this alone, Roman showed up at Dean's place and they spent their two weeks off trying to figure out a way Dean and Seth could be together for good! Unable to think of one, they returned to work and nothing changed between them.

 Hating seeing his brothers suffering, Roman asked Dolph one night, to pretend to go drinking with Seth, instead he brought him to Dean and Roman's room. Their love was renewed and after talking Dean came up with the idea to put himself into any kind of match, against any opponent of The Authority's choice. But the stipulations were if Dean won, then off camera, The Authority had to allow the trio to be a family again and Dean and Seth could be a couple, all of it without any problems! If Dean lost then they end everything, Dean and Roman stay away from Seth for good! The Authority agreed putting Dean into a Gauntlet match at Night Of Champions against Orton, Cesaro, Owens, Sheamus and Kane. Roman was banned from ringside and even though both Roman and Seth tried to refuse, Dean stopped them and agreed.

 During the match Dean fought hard, giving it all he had, making it through four of the five opponents, ending up battered and exhausted! Kane was his final opponent and after beating on Dean, Kane set him up to go through the announcer's table, but Dean caught him with a DDT, both men got counted out. After the match Dean; who ended up with stitches, a black eye, bruised ribs and a concussion, was in the trainer's room, with Seth and Roman by his side, when Hunter and Stephanie came in. They set up a rematch with the same stipulations as before, Dean against Hunter in a Hell In A Cell match.
