Seth's face lit up as soon as he saw the arcade that Dean had bought him too.

"You recognise this place?" Dean asked with a smirk, leaning against his car.

"This was my favourite place as a kid!" He exclaimed gleefully, the nerd in him completely showing.

"Oh, I know" Dean replied coolly and Seth rose an eyebrow.

"How?" He asked, the pair now walked towards the entrance of the arcade but stopped at the bottom of the entrance stairs.

"Oh you know, no big deal" He replied with a sigh. "Just asked Bex what you liked, although I should've guessed. This screams Seth Rollins"

Seth smiled, taking no offence to Dean's comment but instead feeling grateful at the amount of effort Dean had put in, he hadn't been able to come to this place in years so it meant a lot to him. "So now I've got to ask Paige or Roman what your favourite place as a child was or something?"

"Or you could just ask me" Dean replied and sat on a step. "I'm an open book."

"Yeah with alien language scribbled all over the pages" Seth scoffed and sat beside him.

"How so?" Dean asked and rested his head against his hands.

"You're confusing and mysterious." Seth began. "It's like you're two completely different people. Inside school, you're this unapproachable, leather jacket cladded badass who does what he wants when he wants. But when you're outside of school or with me you're like a giant teddy bear. It's strange."

Dean paused for a moment. "A teddy bear? That's the best you could do?" Seth rolled his eyes. "But I guess I could say the same about you. Inside of school, you're this timid, nervous nerd who can't say a sentence without crying but outside of school or with me you're this confident, outspoken, sassy and outgoing badass."

"So we bring out the best in each other, the side of us that we don't want anyone else to see" Seth concluded. "It's a stalemate, we're equal."

"I guess we are" Dean looked at Seth. "I feel like I've learnt a lot about you these past few days."

Seth looked away, suddenly embarrassed for some reason. "As have I, it's been fun."

"It's strange, how we act so different in school. Almost as if our school personas are our alter egos."

"We should name them" Seth suggested. "And to each other, we're Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose but to the world, we can be them."

"Jon Moxley" Dean muttered. "I wanna name my guy Jon Moxley"

"That's badass" Seth smiled. "I think I'll call mine Tyler. Yeah. Tyler Black."

"We've got basic old Tyler and badass old Jon" Dean chuckled and Seth nodded.

Dean looked up at the sky, feeling comfortable and calm with Seth. At this point, he wouldn't care if he and Seth just sat outside the arcade for a few hours. It felt like the two had known each other for forever instead of about a week.

"Y'know, you're a lot smarter than what you give off" Seth commented out of the blue.

"I'm really not" Dean chuckled.

"Well, I think you are," Seth said. "It seems like you've got a complex old mind up there my friend. I already like the way you think"

Dean smiled and pulled his phone out after feeling it vibrate in his pocket. "Well as much as I'd love to let you explore this "complex old mind", Roman texted me, he's here with Finn, Becky, Asuka, Bayley, Kevin and Sami so we should probably go join them." Dean offered Seth his hand, which Seth accepted and the two headed into the arcade with smiles on their faces.
