The Shield One Shots Book 2!

Living In The Past Pt 14/Ambrollins

 Seth Rollins woke up to the sun shining directly into his face, keeping his eyes closed he covered his head with his blanket. He tried going back to sleep, but of course, once he was awake he couldn't go back to sleep. Sighing, he stayed under the blanket, eyes closed, as he debated with himself if he wanted to get up yet or stay where he was for a little longer. His head was a little sore, his mouth was dry and he really needed to go to the bathroom, so he pulled the covers off and sat up. As he ran his hands over his face trying to wake up, he suddenly remembered where he was and what had happened last night. He threw himself back against the couch, cursing the damn beer for what he had done. He was at his two best friends...brothers Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose's; Seth ex-boyfriend, shared apartment. Last night, thanks to all the beer he drank, he had made a fool out of himself in front of Dean; the man he was desperately still in love with, despite the fact that both men had moved on with new relationships and were happy. Sighing again, he began to think about everything that's happened and how he had lost Dean because of his own stupid jealousy.

 Seth and Dean had had the kind of love you only see in movies, they were so happy and in love! Despite their intense love and devotion to each other, Seth from the very beginning of their relationship secretly felt like he was in competition for Dean's heart! It wasn't just anyone Seth was in competition with either, no it was with Dean's ex-boyfriend Roman! Dean and Roman had been together for eight years, they were so in love, until Dean was left broken-hearted, when Roman broke up with him and moved out of town. Roman was the first person in Dean's entire life he's ever loved romantically and that was something you never forgot or got over.

 Seth knew Dean loved him and would never purposely hurt him, but their entire relationship he's felt like he was living in Roman's shadow. He knew all about their past and that Dean still and always would love Roman. Seth was jealous of Roman for having the kind of love and bond with Dean, that he would never have! The only comfort Seth had was that Roman had been gone for a few years, which meant he didn't have to worry about losing Dean to him. At least that's what he thought, until a few months ago, Dean told him the news he had been scared to hear...Roman was moving back to town for work and Dean was so happy about it! Hearing that Seth freaked out and he ended up fighting with Dean; who had no idea why Seth was so angry!

 He was so upset that he moved out for three days staying with his friend and co-worker Dolph Ziggler. He ignored all of Dean's calls and texts, pretending he wasn't there whenever Dean came to Seth's job or Dolph's house. Finally, Dolph convinced him to go home, it felt so good to be home, until he found out that Dean offered Roman to stay with them, until he found his own place and not only that, but Dean also offered Roman a job at the gym he owned! Seth tried to hate Roman, but couldn't because he was a genuinely nice and funny guy; if the situation had been different Roman was the kind of guy Seth would be friends with.

 As the days passed, he tried to act normal and remind himself that Dean loved him not Roman. Dean and Roman were always together at home and work, making things harder for him. He had tried getting the courage up to tell Dean how he felt, but never could, not wanting to hurt him. So, for three months Roman lived with them and Seth suffered in silence. Finally, one day, Roman told them he was moving out into his own apartment and Seth was so happy to at least be able to be alone with Dean at home again. He thought once they moved Roman into his own place that their lives would return to normal, but he was so wrong! After Roman moved out, Dean spent most of his time at Roman's place hanging out or doing odd things around his apartment for him, leaving Seth to wait to spend time with his boyfriend whenever he could, for however long he could; most times it was only for a few minutes and Seth was reaching his limit!
