"As if the Doctor didn't give his companions shit—affectionately." Dean turned his head, as if to bite Frankie's finger off as she poked his cheek rather gently. To someone who had never been ashamed of his affectionate ways, the ones around him tended to keep their hands to themselves, so of course, he enjoyed whenever people touched him, caressed him, embraced him.
The way his smile kept plastered on his lips each time he hung out with Frankie should've been enough indicator that maybe there was something there that neither were seeing or were ignoring. From Dean's perspective, he tended to let himself get attached to people quite easily, thus making it hard for him to differentiate his feelings from this to that type of relationship. He had only pulled away from Fletch when he noticed whatever he was feeling for the other man wasn't platonic anymore... he was scared the same would happen with Maya, and maybe now with Frankie.
Deep down, he was scared.
On the surface, the streamer kept on ignoring that burning sensation in the pit of his stomach each time he was in both their presences. He wondered if it would mean that he would have to eventually make a choice one day.
"To be fair, mom and Saul did try to rope me up into getting more into wine, but, eh..." If he was being honest, his taste for alcohol had never been the most manly, some would say. He liked his drinks sweet and easy to make. Usually, Dean would be caught drinking a mixture of Monster and vodka, simply because it was easier like that. "But I trust you. Go on, little love—" Dean smirked lightly, trying to keep a decent British accent on the tip of his tongue as he called Frankie love, "—Cheers!"
Dean tried his best not to make a face as the wine tasted less tasteful than he would've expected, but it still didn't taste like dry death, like the ones his mother enjoyed drinking. "It's not that bad. I'd rather be shot in the face than drinking it again—" Which caused him to turn towards the vendor behind the Grape Escapes., "—No offense to you." And then, he turned to face Frankie again. "But yeah... Maybe something sweeter? I don't know if that's your thing or not." / @frankiexshen
