Hey ya'll…so sorry this is so late…got hit with that awful flu then job got extremely busy so I wasn't able to catch up last year….hopefully I can get back on the regular schedule for writing again. So, here is part 2 of the Christmas story I didn't finish for ya'll… Merry Late Christmas!

Roman woke up first on Christmas morning, which was a first in the five years he and Dean have known each other. Usually Dean is the first one awake and ready to go by the tree on Christmas morning, but Roman looked over and sees Dean still snoring away under the blankets like a cocoon. He smiles softly at the sight, he knows, or hopes anyways, that the presents he got him would be good. He even got a ring to match the necklace and jacket, but he is so nervous. He just hopes that it turns out the way he wants it to.

Roman leans over and places a gently kiss on Dean's temple before getting up out of bed and stretching a bit before heading to the bathroom to relieve himself. He rubs his face to get the sleepies out and to be a bit more awake to make a special Christmas breakfast for him and Dean. He never really cared, per say, about Christmas until Dean came into his life….

"Hey Roman, what are you doing for Christmas man?" Dean asked as he puts on his shirt and pants after changing from the day's work.

"I don't really know, don't really celebrate it honestly." Roman replied as he ties his shoes and stands up to check his uniform in the mirror before starting his day. "Why?"

Dean smiles falters a bit at what Roman just said. He wanted to see if him and Roman wanted to go to a diner and have a little Christmas dinner before heading to back to their respective places for the night. He also wanted to make sure that his gift for Roman was wrapped up to bring to him the next morning. Even though they met 4 months prior, he felt like he's known Roman most of his life. He never let someone in that short amount of time, but there was something about how Roman presented himself that made him give him a chance to know better.

Dean walks over to Roman, who was still standing in front of the mirror finishing up his looks as Dean puts his hand on his shoulder. "You don't celebrate Christmas at all Ro?" he asked barely as the look on Roman's face seems to back up his voice a bit.

"Haven't since my parents died 10 years ago. Just seems a waste when you have no one to celebrate it with, you know?" He responded softly, "I mean, yeah, I have few friends, but it doesn't put me in the mood really."

Dean takes a deep breath as he listens to Roman before speaking up. "Would…would you like to spend it with…umm….with me?" he says in a whisper that Roman barely caught. He stops what he is doing and turns to look at Dean, who is looking down. He didn't know what to say really, as no one really asked him to spend the day with him. "I usually do volunteer work every year for Christmas after I eat my meal, but I wanted to do something a bit different…."

"I…." Roman started to speak. "Umm…."

"Forget it Roman, it's okay, just thought it would be cool to hang out with you on Christmas, but it's okay, I can just go to the diner and eat there for dinner and then head over to the Kitchen Room and help serve dinner there. It's no biggie…" he said embarrassily as he started to turn to go.

Roman takes a deep breath before he reaches his hand out and stops Dean with his hand on his arm. "Hey, umm….sure, I would love to go to dinner with you. I'm sorry, just….hard at times, you know, but if the invite is still around, I will accept it." He smiles softly as he looks at Dean, whose eyes got a bit wide.

"Really? You sure?" he asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, be nice to finally do something on Christmas for once instead of sitting in the living room watching those awful Christmas movies and eating frozen pizza for dinner." Roman brings Dean into a bro hug and smiles at Dean. He knows he just made his Christmas day even more special by agreeing to spend it with him.

"Thank you Ro, I hope it turns out to be a good day for you this year…" he replied as he returns the bro hug and steps back. "Guess its time to head into work before we close for the next two days!" he chuckles as he heads out of the bedroom, leaving Roman with a smile he hadn't had in a long time.

"Roman!" Dean shouted as Roman finishes up their annual Christmas breakfast in the kitchen. It consists of scrambled eggs with cheese and tomatoes, hashbrowns, bacon and sausage and toast along with coffee and orange juice. It also has a bowl of fruit that Roman cut up that Dean always loved with his food.

"Yeah babe?" he answered as he puts the plates on the table with a candle burning in the middle. He wanted to make sure this Christmas was the best yet.

"Man, it smells so good in here!" Dean licks his lips and claps his hands together in anticipation of what Roman cooked. He always loved the food he makes, he hopes that he never stops cooking. "Merry Christmas!" he leans over and kisses Roman before sitting down. "You went all out this morning!"

"Nothing but the best on Christmas morning for you babe!" he smiles as he sits down besides Dean. "Hope you like it, I added tomatoes this time to the eggs."

Dean kinkled his nose but took a bite nevertheless, "Holy shit this is good!" he then took about three more bites before it was gone.

"You not hungry are you?" he teased as Dean stuck his tongue out after eating a piece of bacon.

Roman just chuckled as they ate the rest in comfortable peace, except when Dean tried to swipe the bacon off Roman's plate, he got his hand slapped before Dean laughs at Roman's glare.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

About two hours later, both Roman and Dean were sitting in the living room floor by the tree. They each had three gifts and then the other four were for the Kitchen Room for later on.

"Okay Roman, here's the first one that you gotta open!" he said excitedly…he just hope that Roman likes it as it took a month to get it done the way he wanted it too.

Roman then picks a gift for Dean to open as well, "Okay, but here's yours to open!"

Both smiled as Dean rips his open and sees a new leather jacket that Roman picked out, "Oh man, Roman…this is beautiful….thank…thank you…" he said softly as he got up and tried on the jacket, and it fit him perfectly. It had the DA archy symbol on the back as well as a small one on the front.

"I knew it would look good on you Dean, glad you like it!" he was worried how it was gonna turn out, but Trish did a great job on the initials for Dean. Turned out better than he imagined.

"Like it? I love it Roman, now, open yours!" he sat back down and started kinds bopping a bit, excited for what Roman was gonna get.

Roman arches a brow at Dean's excitement, but he loves him for that anyways. So, he opened the small box and sees a blue belt buckle the his initials on them…one R backward and one forward.

"Oh Dean….this…this is beautiful…I love it…" he said softly as he leans in and places a gently kiss on Dean. "Thank you," he said as he caresses it.

"I thought it would go with your uniform as the one you have looks a bit small, so I thought this would look a bit better on you."

"It will babe…thank you so much. I will wear it when we open up tomorrow!"

Dean smiles as he sees Roman change out the belt with the one he got him, made his heart swell with pride that Roman loved it. Makes him feel a bit better about the other two.

"Okay, here is another on for you Dean, hope you like this one!" Dean could tell that Roman was a bit nervous, but he knows that whatever Roman got him, he will treasure.

Dean leans over a bit and gets the one with the watch. He is nervous as hell too, but being Dean, doesn't show it too much. "Here's yours Roman, hope you like this one as well."

Roman takes the gift and opens it up. He sees a white box and looks up at Dean. Dean looks down a bit, not sure what to think. He kinda fiddles with his gift until….

"Oh my…Dean…this is….oh man, you shouldn't have…" Dean looks up and sees Roman taking the watch out and inspecting it. Just as Dean gets ready to say something, Roman turns it over and sees the engravement on it…with both their names on it.

Roman looks up at Dean, who is chewing his bottom lips. "Dean….baby, this is gorgeous." He puts his hands on Dean who seemed to relaxed a little bit. "You like it?" he barely asked.

"I love it, this is just…wow….I love that both our names are on this, keeps you close to me everytime I look at this watch.

"I'm glad you love it Roman, I was kinda worried…"

Roman takes Dean and brings him into a sweet and wonderful kiss. Then lays their foreheads together, "it's beautiful Dean, thank you…."

Dean smiles a bit more now that he's two for two. He looks down and opens his gift as Roman releases him to do so. Roman does what Dean did and chews his bottom lips. After receiving the watch with their names on it, he now thinks the necklace wasn't such a bad idea. But he's nervous as if he would wear it or not. He watches Dean carefully as he opens the small box and sees the necklace.

"Oh Roman…oh my God…." He says in awe as he carefully holds up the necklace with both their names on it. "Roman, this is…oh man…"

"You like it? Looks like we had the right idea in a sense that we got each other a gift with both our names on it…." He chuckles nervously.

"Roman…." He says lovingly. "Put this on me, now…" he softly demanded. "Please?"

Dean hands the necklace and turns around before Roman could answer. Roman gently puts the necklace on and Dean turns back around and sees the tears in Roman's eyes. He gently wipes the tears aways as he kisses his lips.

"It's beautiful Roman, thank you for the necklace. I now have you around me everyday when I am not near you. Can't wait to show this to Hunter and Stephanie. They have been our biggest cheerleader and they think me and you will end up together for good.

Roman closes his eyes and opens them up to see the love in Dean's blue eyes. "Yeah, they were always there to tell us we were soulmates, and in some weird way, we are….."

"Yeah, we are…..here is my final gift to you Roman, but please read the note first before you open it. I had help from Jimmy and Jey, our other cheerleaders…." He chuckles as he hands Roman a small gold and silver box.

"Yeah…my cousins…." He laughs, he reaches under the tree, "here is my final gift to you…" and he hands Dean a maroon and blue box with a little card.

Dean looks at the card that simply read,

LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS.

YES OR NO.

Dean looks up at him in confusion.

"Open it Dean…"

Dean nods as he carefully opens the box, his eyes goes wide as he looks up at Roman. "Wha….Roman?" he asked as he sees Roman on one knee….waiting.

"Dean, five years ago, you came into my life and gave me something I didn't know I was missing. Love. Trust. Compassion. You have given me so much life that I can't imagine my life without you. Will you do me the honor of spending the rest of your life with me?"

Dean, with tears falling down his face, looks at Roman, who fighting back tears of his own.

"Not until you open up your gift after you read the poem, then you will have my answer." He barely said as he watched Roman deflate a bit, but nods.

He wipes his eyes a bit and lifts up the card the read…

Five years ago, you made a stamp into my life.

Four years ago, our friendship blossomed into something no one could see,

Two years ago, I fell in love with you despite the fact we were best friends,

But, I no longer can hold it in, but I have just one question to ask,

Would you marry me?

Roman looks up and sees Dean, with fresh tears coming down his face, looks down and opens the box to see the ring….the tribal ring that Dean had made for him.

"Oh Dean…" he barely swallows as he trembles when he takes the ring out and looks at it before looking at Dean again. "Oh baby….oh my….this…" he babbles incoherently.

"Guess we both had the same idea, huh?" he says as he tries to laugh it off, but deep down, it was a scary moment for the both of them.

"Yes…." Roman said.

Dean smiles through the tears as he takes the ring and places it on Roman's finger.

"Yes…" Dean said as he gives Roman the ring to place on his finger.

Both wraps their arms together and kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. After a few minutes, they break apart and placed their foreheads together while trying to catch their breaths.

"I love you Dean"

"I love you Roman"

Both broke apart, stood up, headed to the bedroom, and for the first time, made love as fiancées…..

Hope this made up for the lateness. I will be back next week to post for my other story. So please keep a lookout!
