"There's something I need to tell you and I hope you don't hate me when I do."

Seth tensed up. What could Roman be keeping from him? "Uh, I think we should get out of the tub for this just in case I need to, you know curb stomp you into next year or something." He joked but Roman didn't even try to smile.

They got out of the tub and wrapped themselves in towels before going back into their room. Seth had a feeling that he should sit down for this. "Come on Ro, you can tell me anything." He said as he sat on the bed that they had so recently shared.

Roman started pacing and ran his hand through his wet hair. "You remember when we went to Vegas right?"

He smiled tightly. "Yeah, of course."

"Well, I haven't been honest with you." Roman took a deep breath. "I was never drunk, I remember everything about that night."

He was well and truly puzzled. If Roman wasn't drunk then why did he agree to Seth's proposal? Was it a bet or something? "Okay, you better explain more, because I don't know what you are saying."

"I waited until you were drunk and then I asked you to marry me." Roman said looking down.

"What?" He whispered. All this time he had thought that he was the one who asked. "Why?"

Roman sank to his knees and grabbed Seth's hands tightly. "You have to understand. I've been in love with you for years and I wanted to be with you."

Seth sat there in total shock. Roman was in love with him? This was the best day ever! A slow smile spread across his face. "I love you too, for like... years."

Shock and relief crossed Roman's face and he reached up and caressed his face. "I never knew."

Tears welled up in his eyes. "I never knew about you either." He leaned down and kissed Roman's soft lips. He didn't care that Roman basically tricked him into marrying him as long as this was the result.

Roman pulled back. "I need to explain myself more." He got up and sat next to Seth on the bed. "I thought that if I got you to marry me, then I would have time to get closer to you and hopefully get you to fall for me."

Seth laughed. "I had already fallen for you, completely."

Roman smiled but just as quickly his smile fell away. "I knew that we could just get an annulment so..." He took a deep breath. "I'm the one who leaked our marriage to the press."

"What?" He whispered. "We could have lost our jobs over that. You know how important wrestling is to me."

Roman got to his feet and ran his hand through his hair. "I know, I know. But I just felt like I had to take the risk, for us, for our future. I know how Vince and Hunter think and I knew that they couldn't fire us without making everyone think that the company was homophobic, so I used that to convince myself that everything was going to be all right."

Roman started pacing again. "I knew that if my plan failed and you didn't have feelings for me then we could just get a divorce and keep our friendship and you never had to know that it was all my idea. But if you did fall for me, then maybe you could forgive me, eventually."

Seth sat there on the bed. He couldn't believe everything that he had learned over the last few minutes. He sat there quietly thinking and Roman's shoulders drooped and he turned away.

He rose from the bed and silently walked over to Roman. He wrapped his arms around him from behind and held him tight, resting his head on his shoulder. "I think that we're both fools for not admitting our feelings to each other long before this became an issue but I want that same future that you wanted for us so I guess I can forgive you for your crazy plan that actually worked."

Roman turned around in his arms. "Really?"

He beamed up at Roman. "Yes but you have to spoil me rotten and we need to have a real wedding, one that I remember with all of our family and friends."

"No problem." Roman said, putting his hands on the sides of Seth's face. "We'll tell everyone that we are having a vow renewal ceremony because our family wasn't there the first time."

"Perfect." He said gazing up at the love of his life who just happened to love him back.

Roman smirked at him. "I do happen to have a video of our first wedding if you want to watch it but it gets a little funny."

He shook his head imagining how it must look with him drunk out of his mind. "Not now. I believe we have to make up for lost time." He gestured to the bed. "If you know what I mean."

Roman's smile turned predatory and Seth felt a thrill go through him before Roman picked him up bridal style and carried him to bed. They were naked in seconds and making out like teenagers. His heart was so full and now he didn't have to hide it anymore. He pulled back and looked at Roman's deep dark eyes. "I love you."

Roman smiled. "I love you too."
