Seth woke up slowly, feeling strangely good considering that the last thing he remembered was having a level 9 migraine. Opening his eyes, he was stunned to see Dean's sleeping face next his, and a quick feel behind him confirmed Roman's presence as well.

A sudden noise made him sit up, just in time to watch Jamie bringing in a laden room service cart. His face brightened at the sight of Seth.

"Hey! Glad to see you awake! I've brought breakfast!"

Seth smiled, in spite of himself, at Jamie's perpetual cheeriness, then he remembered. "Jamie, what're Dean and Roman doing here?"

Jamie's smile faltered, "You, uh, you asked them to stay. You wouldn't let us help you with your headache last night, so Joey went and got them. After they helped you, you asked them to stay. I think they planned to leave after you fell asleep, but they dozed off about the time you did." He turned his attention back to the tray. "I got you some oatmeal and fresh fruit, just how you like it. I wasn't sure what Reigns and Ambrose would want, so I ordered a little bit of everything."

Seth's smile widened as he carefully shimmied out from between Dean and Roman. Jamie and Joey would never be Dean and Roman, but they tried, especially Jamie.

He'd just started on his oatmeal when Roman began to stir, opening his eyes and looking around in confusion before spying Seth and Jamie at the table.

"Oh man," Roman groaned, nudging Dean. "Dean? Dean, wake up, we fell asleep in Rollins' room." Dean just mumbled and burrowed into his pillow.

"There's no rush," Seth said, trying to hide his hurt at being referred to as 'Rollins' rather than 'Seth'. "Jamie brought breakfast for you guys."

"Yeah, I wasn't sure what you guys would want, so I got you a little of everything," Jamie said, sitting down with his own breakfast.

Roman seemed to consider things for a minute, then climbed out of bed and joined them, serving himself some eggs and bacon.

After a few minutes, Dean began to stir, probably roused by the smell of the bacon and coffee. The three men at the table watched as the blond went still. Seth and Roman knew Dean was going through his morning assessment routine if he woke up in an unfamiliar place. Seth and Roman were used to it, but Jamie seemed fascinated. Once Dean seemed reassured that he was okay and not in any danger, he rolled over and sat up.

"Morning," Seth said cheerfully. "We've got breakfast."

Dean glanced at Roman, who nodded, before climbing out of bed and padding over to the table, helping himself to some eggs, bacon, and fresh fruit.

They were still eating when Kane, Big Show, and Joey came up. The Director of Operations took in the scene, but only said a polite 'Good Morning', before sitting on one of the beds.

Dean and Roman exchanged a look before Roman spoke, "Give us a couple of minutes, Kane, and we'll get out of your collective hair."

"No rush," Kane said, with a faint smile. "We owe you guys a lot for helping with Seth's headaches. Getting you guys breakfast is the least we could do."

Not much more was said, but everyone knew that this was a turning point. No one in The Authority could argue that Dean and Roman's presence in Seth's life was harming anything. If anything, they seemed to ease the tension Seth seemed constantly under, everyone could see it.

They all knew that their renewed friendship would have to stay off camera. Maybe they'd never be able regain their closeness, but now they were back on the road to being brothers again.
