The Shield One Shots Book 2!

Saving Him Pt23/Ambreigns

 Roman Reigns sat alone in a hospital room, keeping watch over his best friend...brother and boyfriend Dean Ambrose as he slept. He was waiting for their best friend...brother Seth Rollins and the trio's close friend Dolph Ziggler, to return from getting them all coffee. He leaned back in his chair sighing and ran his hands over his face, he was sore and exhausted mentally, physically and emotionally, but he couldn't...wouldn't leave the hospital until Dean could come with him. He leaned forward again, placing his elbows on the bed and gently took one of Dean's hands in both of his, bringing it to his lips; he held it there, as he stared at Dean's sleeping face. He felt like a failure as a boyfriend, he had promised to keep him safe, that he'd protect him and he...failed! He let a psychotic bastard who was obsessed with Dean, not only hurt the man he loved, but Seth and Dolph too. He hung his head and brought their hands to his forehead, as he thought about everything that's happened and how this nightmare began.

 The trio have been best friends since they met in elementary school, clicking from the moment they met. All their lives they remained close, no one and nothing could come between them, but one man named Randy Orton came close! Randy came into their lives five years ago, when he started dating Dean and both Roman and Seth despised Randy because they knew he was abusing Dean. Randy despised both of them too because they weren't afraid of him like everyone else was. Roman and Seth tried to get Dean to leave Randy, but he wouldn't; defending him to his brothers, hiding the abuse.

 Finally one day unable to stay quiet any longer, Roman confessed his love to Dean and he confessed his love back to Roman. Wanting to be together, but afraid of Randy, the trio decided to run away together. While Dean was at home packing, Randy found and attacked him, but Roman and Seth arrived and stopped him. Randy took off before the police arrived though, after talking to the police and getting Dean checked out at the hospital, they left town like planned. While on the road, Dean; with his brothers love and support, slowly returned to his old self, both his brothers so proud of him. It killed his brothers to see Dean so afraid and knowing Randy was capable of anything, they secretly bought a gun and hid it from Dean.

 Months ago, after returning to their hotel room, Randy burst in he had come for Dean, but Roman and Seth refused to let him take him! When they refused again, Randy using the gun he had stolen from them and shot Seth once, before he took off with Dean. Seth told Roman to go after Dean, but he was too late, he returned to Seth and called 911; Seth was shot in the shoulder, no major damage, just stitches and a sling.

 Days passed with no contact from Dean and both his brothers were scared shitless, both felt like they had failed him. Then one night Roman received an email from him telling them that Randy was going out of town for two days and Dean would be going to Randy's office for him the next day to get a briefcase. He told them to leave a phone in the bushes out front of the building for him and he'd use it to contact them when he could. They did and he called them that night warning them to stay away from the house, which was now guarded by Randy's men, who were told to shoot and kill both Roman and Seth if they came anywhere near the house or Dean!

 The next day Dean called and told them about their new ally in one of Randy's men, Dolph Ziggler. At first neither were sure if they could trust Dolph or not, but eventually grew too; both realized though, that Dolph had feelings for Dean and were worried about that, especially Roman! Dolph was going to help Dean escape and then kill Randy himself, but somehow Randy found out and put both Dean and Dolph on lockdown, before he went and confronted Roman and Seth. It took a month after Randy found out for Dolph to be able to contact them again and when he did he told them that Dean had completely given up, even his brothers talking to him couldn't change Dean's mind.
