She was a hunter. He was⊠Also a hunter. Classic meet-cutes get a lot less cute when youâre meeting over the corpse of a wendigo.
Dean looked at her with awe and wonder after watching her use a flamethrower to take down a few wendigos that had started in on him. She lowered it like it was nothing after they stopped screeching into the night.
âHey,â she greeted with a little smile. âYouâre one of the Winchester boys, arenât you?â
âDean.â
âYouâre like a modern-day folklore story, you know that?â
He chuckled, sure to make a comment about the flamethrower at the first chance. He got her number at the second chance.
They made fast friends at that point, both relentlessly flirting. Both never quite sure to what degree the other meant it.
Dean always found himself making trips towards wherever she was more often that what may be considered necessary. She never intentionally ran into him, but if she saw that impala roll up to a case, she always obliged her time. Especially if that meeting happened in a crowded bar where she could relish in the feeling of his attention being placed on her rather than anyone else who would immediately say yes to a night at his motel. Those green eyes sparkling as he chatted her up like they were the closest of friends.
Until they were the closest of friends, of course.
âHowâs, uhâŠâ Dean trailed, trying to think. âWas it Matthew?â
She snorted. âDidnât last long.â
âWhy not?â
âNever do,â she said curtly, sipping at her drink. âNon-hunter relationships donât exactly work for me. They end up with too many questions too quick.â
He hummed, looking down at his own drink. She watched him for a moment, letting herself take a moment to admire the way neon lights bounced off his face. He always seemed to look extra pretty that way.
âSituationships,â she stated as a start, âThatâs what pretty much everything I get into ends up as. Whatever works in the moment, no real strings.â
âAnd yet you always talk about wanting to be tied down,â he said with a smirk.
âAlways is a big word,â she replied with a laugh. âI think someday Iâd like that. Just donât think itâs compatible with who I am right now.â
âYou think youâre gonna change?â
âIâm always changing. Thatâs life, right?â
He shrugged. âI donât think Iâve changed much.â
She laughed.
âIâve known you for a year, and even in that time youâve gotten a little different.â
He quirked a brow. âHow so?â
âLaugh a little less, but still seem a bit happier. More accepting of life as it is, I guess.â
He sat with that for a moment, then nodded.
âIâve had to. Every time I get stubborn, I end up screwing everything up.â
âHey,â she said softly, pulling him out of his own head before he dug too deep, âYouâre always learning. Always growing. Donât beat yourself up.â
He smiled softly, letting her words carry him out of that out. They tended to do that more and more as he faced everything the world threw at him. His affection slowly morphed into more, and he tried not to panic about it. He did what he always did best: buried it as deep as it could go.
She realized her own feelings shifting, but her realization slammed into her like a truck. They were supposed to be just friends.
It all started with little chance meetings which turned into weekly calls which turned into âDo you want to stay with Sam and I? Weâve got a permanent place nowâ.
She ended up moving in shortly after the boys did. Three years of knowing them, she never expected to be living with them. Especially after all theyâd gone through.
Granted, she helped with some of it. She was there when they had to cram Samâs soul back in his body. She was there for the rise and fall of Dick. She was there when Dean came back from Purgatory.
She just wasnât constantly with them. Only a kind of side-character in their grand adventure. Now, howeverâŠ
âI think thatâs all,â she said, dropping a few bags on her bed.
âOh, right, because this isnât over-doing it at all,â Dean said, humor lacing his voice.
She narrowed her eyes at him, then looked back around the empty room.
âI justâ Iâm excited to feel at home. I havenât had a real place inâŠâ she stopped, sighing.
âYeah, I get it,â Dean spoke up, slinging an arm around her shoulder. âI was so excited to have my own bed, you have no clue.â
âI have some clue. You sent me like fifteen messages about it within the span of ten seconds,â she laughed.
âI love that memory foam, what can I say?â
âHow about you get useful and help me set up shop here?â she asked, smiling at him as he already started pulling items out of the bags.
The bunker was like a hunter paradise in her eyes. She got the chance to have a place to call home. She got her own room, a million lore books, Dean, a place to do some baking, her favorite mugâŠ
Wait. She couldnât find her mug.
âDean, whereâd you put my mug?â she called out before he even got to the kitchen
âStop calling me out before Iâm even in the room. Itâs creepy,â he said with a chuckle, walking in.
âCanât help it. I know how you sound walkinâ around in here.â
She turned from the kitchen counter where the coffee was brewing. He watched her for a moment, smile still stuck in place.
âSo?â she asked.
He raised a brow. âSoâŠ?â
She sighed. âMy mug?â
âOh,â he exclaimed, walking further towards her to open the fridge. âMade soup the other day and didnât have any clean bowls.â
He pulled out the soup-filled mug, handing it in her direction. She quirked a brow, looking inside of it.
âI ainât cleaning that out.â
He sighed dramatically, walking towards the sink.
âGuess Iâll do it. Princess canât handle a few chunks of chicken in her precious mug.â
She smacked his arm lightly, scoffing.
âYouâre the one who put chicken in it in the first place. You know thatâs my favorite mug.â
He smirked, silently cleaning it out for her. When he was finished he turned, handing it off as he leaned against the counter.
âIf my coffee is soup-flavored Iâm going to have Cas smite you,â she mumbled, pouring it full.
She filled up another mug sheâd pulled down in the meantime, sliding it to Dean.
âAnd yet, you still get me my coffee,â he said, pressing a kiss to her temple.
She hid a smile, shaking her head as she prepared hers.
âYou know you love me,â he sang to her, heading towards the library.
She followed after, not even realizing what she was doing until she was halfway there. It was like they were attached at the hip.
They practically were over the following months, never not wanting to do everything together.
âCome on, Sam,â she whined. âYouâre no fun.â
He smirked, attempting to leave the kitchen.
âNot all of us want to get plastered on a Tuesday night.â
âSpeak for yourselfâ Dean said with a sparkle in his eye. He looked at Y/N. âYou love getting screwed by me, right? Oh, sorry, with me.â
âOh, yeah. My favorite activity, actually,â she said back with a smirk.
Sam sighed, rolling his eyes as he stood.
âI think Iâm about done listening to you two flirt, anyways.â
âAww,â she started, leaning closer to where he stood. âYou gettinâ jealous, Sammy?â
âIâm getting grossed out,â he laughed. âGoodnight.â
The two at the table said a quick goodnight, turning back to their drinks and their jokes in an instant.
âMaybe we just need to sweat it out,â he jokes, brows dancing suggestively.
She laughed. âIn your dreams, Winchester. Weâve gone almost six years without a slip-up, do you really think nowâs a good time to break that record?â
He contemplated for a moment, fully believing it was a good time to break it. He couldnât think of a better time with the exception of five-and-a-half years ago. But, he decided to actually use his brain.
âGuess youâre right.â
She smiled, pretending not to be thinking about the fact that she definitely thought she was all wrong. She really though that he should have known better than anyone that she believed records were made to be broken.
âIâm always right.â
âNow youâre dreaming,â he said with a chuckle, tossing back the rest of his drink.
He poured two shots, sliding one to her.
âHereâs to almost six yearsâ what, like, five years and ten months? Something like that?â
She nodded. âJuly 7th.â
He stilled a moment, not thinking about the fact that of course she would remember the day they met.
âHow many days is that?â
She hummed, playing into his little game as she pulled out her phone. She typed away until she got her answer:
â2119 days if I did the math right.â
âNineteen or ninety?â
âNineteen.â
âWhat do you say we have a special celebration if we get to twenty one ninety, then?â
She snorted. âWhat do you constitute as special?â
âThatâs for me to know and you to find out,â he winked, tossing back his shot.
She mirrored his actions, then quickly typed away again.
âWhat do you know? 2190 is exactly the six year mark,â she smirked. âAlright. Deal.â
Weeks passed, and life was shockingly normal in that time. Well, normal for their standards, which still included all the things that go bump in the night. After a particularly long hunt, getting back to the bunker was a relief.
All three of them went to their respective rooms to get some rest, but, as had become a pattern, Dean went knocking on Y/Nâs door. She opened with a tired smile, inviting him in.
They sat around, talking about whatever topics came to mind, listening to music playing in the background. When conversation fell quiet, an idea struck her like lightening.
âCome on, Dean. A little dancing wouldnât kill ya,â she said, moving a little to the music.
He laughed, watching her from her bed. She held out her hands, and finally took them after a few seconds. She could be very convincing, he thought.
They jumped around the room in an un-choreographed, ridiculous, messy dance that left both of them giggling and out of breath. Her music wasnât always his style, but he sure didnât mind listening to her sing every word with a passion as if sheâd written them herself.
âSee? You love this,â she exclaimed as the upbeat song faded out.
âOnly because youâre making me,â he smiled.
She laughed again, starting to turn when a slow song started going. He didnât let her get far, however, pulling her back into his chest by the hand. He played it off all nonchalant at first, ignoring the smile on her face as a bit he always liked to play anytime he started being affectionate in an unconventional way.
âReally?â she asked.
She reached up, fingertips brushing against his jaw so that heâd look at her again. He smiled softly when she did, just watching her for a few seconds.
âYou wanted to dance. Weâre dancing,â he said, swaying along to the melody.
âSuch a gentleman.â
He smirked, not letting up in the dance. She gave in, resting her head against his shoulder as the music played. He closed his eyes, resting his cheek against her and letting the smell of her perfume lull him in the dance more than the song could. Her gentle humming put a smile on his face that he was grateful she couldnât see: he was certain heâd look like a lovesick puppy.
As the song faded out, she finally pulled away enough to see him again, both of them still moving as another faded in. She looked at him with a glimmer in her eyes. He took in a slow breath, watching her face for a few moments, their movements slowing. He wanted to kiss her more than anything. So, he took an action:
âIâm gonna grab a drink.â
He untethered himself from her, quickly making an exit to leave her alone and deeply confused.
She sat in the library a few days later, reading a book she found on werewolf mating habits.
âWhat do ya got, there?â Sam asked, walking into the room.
She glanced up, a brow raised. âYou donât want to know, trust me.â
Sam snorted. âAlright.â
âYou need something?â
She closed the book, setting it down on the table.
âYeah. Do you want to hang out? I just hooked up a new TV in my room.â
âSure,â she shrugged. âWhen?â
âIâm making popcorn right now.â
She laughed, agreeing as she got up. She got comfortable in his room, back against the headboard of his bed. He walked in a minute later, handing over the bowl of popcorn as he settled in.
âIs Dean coming?â she asked.
âNo. He went out for the night.â
âAh,â she said softly after a beat.
Sam straightened up, looking at her.
âHe didnât invite you?â
She shook her head. âNope.â
âHe always does. Why not now?â
She sighed, settling into the cushions, still looking ahead.
âI think I freaked him out. We were in my room the other night, and I asked him to dance with me. He did, but then⊠I donât know,â she shrugged. âAfter a couple songs he left fast and heâs definitely been pulling away from me since then.â
âHey,â he called, grabbing her attention. âAnyone who doesnât appreciate you isnât worth your time. You know that, right?â
âThanks, Sammy,â she smiled, looking down again. âI just keep getting in my own head.â
âWhen arenât you?â he joked.
âYou jerk,â she said, tossing a piece of popcorn at him. âIâm trying to be, like, open right now.â
âI know,â he drawled, leaning his head against hers.
She brushed a few pieces of his hair off her forehead.
âMaybe I just need to go out and have some fun myself,â she said after a moment.
He perked up.
âDude, yeah!â
He stood abruptly, holding out his hands for her. She took them, standing slowly, and looking around the room for some stray confidence so that she wouldnât back out.
âTell you what,â Sam started, giving her the hope she wanted, âYou go get ready, and weâll head out together. Iâll be your wingman.â
She smiled. âThat sounds great. I immediately wasnât sure about heading off by myself.â
âI could tell,â he laughed.
She got ready in record time, putting on her favorite dress for good measure. They left the bunker, hitting a nearby bar that didnât have an impala parked anywhere close.
âTheyâre just⊠giving me nothing,â she said with a sigh, slumping in the seat next to Sam at the bar.
âWhat do you mean? That last guy looked really into it.â
âHe was. He was also into talking about his ex-girlfriend within the first few minutes of conversation,â she snorted. âI think Iâm asking too much. I should just find someone and make out with âem.â
âYou sure about that?â
She looked at Sam again, a smile breaking out.
âNo. But if we do another shot, I might be.â
He sighed, obliging her only because he knew sheâd do it without him anyways. They threw back the shots, and he wished her luck as she went off in search of someone who wanted nothing but a good time.
Well, kind of a good time. She wasnât sure she really wanted to take some dude home.
She went onto the dance-floor, deciding sheâd let someone come to her rather than prowling for herself, and got her wish pretty fast. A moderately attractive man caught her hand as she swayed around by herself, asking for a dance. She plastered on a smile as she agreed, letting him take the lead.
âWhatâs your name?â he asked over the music.
âDo you really want to know?â she teased.
He smirked. âGuess itâs more fun not to know, huh?â
She smiled again, pulling him down to her lips as they moved to the music. She closed her eyes, appreciating the ease at which she got what she wanted. The only problem is that she couldnât help imagining it was Dean instead of Unnamed Bar-Goer.
Regardless, she justified that they were merely using each other, so who cares if she let her mind run a little wild?
She only backed away when he started getting a little handsy for her tastes. She thanked him for his time, walking away and back to Sam. He raised his brows when she came back.
âHey, looks like you got it,â he said, watching her sit. âAlso looks like you arenât too happy.â
âStill giving me absolutely nothing,â she said with a sigh. âNot a damn thing.â
He chuckled. âMaybe this plan didnât work out so well.â
âStill got to drink with my favorite giant,â she noted with a wink and nudge.
âHa ha. Real flattering, thanks.â
He rolled his eyes, but let himself smirk when she wasnât paying much attention. They sat talking at the bar for another hour or so before Sam decided to call it a night. She linked an arm around Samâs as they walked out of the bar, definitely a little more drunk than she intended to get.
Dean walked into the bunker, spirits effectively dampened. His attempt to get his mind off of his I-almost-kissed-her moment didnât work in the slightest, and now he was in a sour mood as a result.
His mood only worsened when he saw Sam and Y/N stumbling into the kitchen, the latter a drunken mess in an outfit he liked a little too much. He watched as Sam helped her into the room, practically propping her up against the counter.
âWhat the hell?â Dean asked as his brother got a glass from the cupboard.
âWhat?â Sam defended, filling up the cup with water.
âFor one, why is she laughing at herself against the kitchen counter?â
Sam rolled his eyes. âWe went out.â
He walked over to Y/N, handing her the glass. She sipped at the water, then set it down just as quickly.
âDone,â she cheered.â
âNo, youâre not,â Sam said, picking up the water and giving it right back to her. âCome on, youâre going to be hungover tomorrow.â
She refused the drink, kicking off her shoes. Then, she turned to level her gaze at Dean as he sipped on a beer.
âAnd where did you go run off to?â
He raised his brows. âDoes it matter?â
âYeah,â she stated with finality.
âOut.â
âGet lucky?â she asked, more bitterness in her tone than she meant to let out.
âNo.â
She rolled her eyes, then glanced at Sam again.
âWanna go hang out and read? I found a book about how werewolves get it on,â she said, giggling as she ended the sentence.
âWhat?â
Dean spoke up again. âSince when do you go out and get drunk without a reason?â
She snapped back to him. âSince I was celebrating me. Iâm done chasing after guys who donât wantâ What was it, Sam? Like if they donât appreciate me.â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â Dean asked back, setting down his drink.
âSammy, I wanna talk to Dean by myself,â she managed to say, hardly looking at him.
âI donât knowââ
âSam,â she cut him off, watching him.
He put his hands up in defense, walking out of the room. She watched until he left, then looked at Dean again. He glanced sideways at her as she swayed slightly while she stood.
âYou know, those six years are coming up real soon, De,â she said, staring from across the counter.
âAre they?â he asked, wondering where this was going.
âMhm. One more week I think,â she hiccuped. âSorry.â
He furrowed his brow. âYouâre drunk.â
âI tried kissing someone today,â she said, words tumbling out fast like she couldnât control them. âI hated it.â
He paused, unsure why she was saying this. His heart hurt more than he thought it would, hearing her admit that.
âWhy?â was all he could manage.
âWhyâd you go out without me?â she countered. âYou never go out without me, not since we met.â
He sighed, eyes closing as he braced himself against the counter. He heard her as she got closer, eventually leaning her head against his arm.
âIâm glad you didnât go home with anyone today.â
He swallowed, unable to look at her. âYeah. Iâ I was gonna try, to be honest, butâŠâ
âIâm gonna throw up,â she said, suddenly moving to the sink.
He followed after swiftly, helping her as best as he could. He pulled her hair back gently as she emptied her stomach into the kitchen sink.
âYouâre okay, sweetheart,â he said softly, rubbing her back with the hand that wasnât holding her hair. âGet it all out.â
âIâm sorry,â she mumbled, sniffling.
âIâve seen you worse,â he said with a smirk. âThat upset about what I said?â
If she had been a touch more sober, she might have realized he was joking. Unfortunately, she took it completely literally.
âI didnât mean to. I just thought about you and someââ
âWhoa, whoa. Hold on, I wasnâtââ he paused as she stood again, running the sink to clear it out. He turned it off again, impatient. âWhat are you talking about?â
âWhat?â
He watched her as she straightened herself out, pulling down the skirt of the dress she was in where it had ridden up.
âYou threw up over me mentioningââ
âDean.â
âWhy?â
She sighed, leaning down to rest her head on the counter.
âI donât wanna talk about it.â
âYou kissed someone. I didnât even get that far.â
âWhy do you care?â she asked, standing again, and nearly falling over.
He caught her gently, but kept his hard tone as he responded to her.
âWhy do you?â
âBecause I just do, Dean.â
âYouâre so freaking stubborn,â he muttered, rubbing his eyes with one hand.
âYouâre one to talk. This is all your fault anyways.â
âExcuse me?â he asked, annoyance in his voice.
âItâs your fault,â she said, punctuating the phrase with a slap to his chest.
âYeah? And howâs that?â
âYou shouldâve just kissed me instead of chickening out and running away like a little boy.â
He was stunned into silence, his anger dissipating and then quickly returning.
âIf you hadnât made me dance with you, I wouldnât have been all in your face in the first place,â he shot back.
âYouâre such a dick,â she said, rolling her eyes. âSix years of not chasing anyone but you, and for what? Youâre acting like a bitch.â
âWell, jokes on you, sweetheart,â he exclaimed, opening up his arms. âHasnât even been six years.â
âGreat! Letâs hope we never get there, then!â
âYouâre being ridiculous.â
âIâm not the one who ran off to get a hookup because I couldnât handle my feelings.â
He scoffed. âYeah, you just ran off to make out with someone because you couldnât handle your feelings.â
âWhy do you feel the need to make everything so difficult?â
âBecause youâre the most difficult person Iâve ever met,â he said, voice raising to an octave you didnât often hear. âHow else am I supposed to deal with you?â
She groaned in frustration, pushing past him to leave. She stalked out of the kitchen, only making it so far as the hallway before she was getting pulled back.
âStop it, Dean,â she all but yelled.
He rolled his eyes, pulling her closer and leaning down to kiss her. One hand found her face, a surprisingly gentle touch in comparison to how intense the kiss was. She felt like she couldnât catch her breath, a smile on her face as he finally gave in. He pulled back a moment later, though not without an internal struggle.
âThe douchebag at the bar kiss you like that?â he mumbled against her lips.
âNot exactly,â she sighed. âWhat took you so long?â
âYou werenât making moves either, loser,â he said with a laugh.
âYou didnât exactly make yourself out to be available, De.â
âAnd you did? You literally told me I wouldnât get you in my wildest dreams a few weeks ago.â
She paused, a smile spreading to her face.
âTouchĂ©.â
âHow about now?â
She quirked a brow. âYou propositioning me, Winchester?â
âIf I was, what would you say to that?â
âIâd say that I think there must be some technical malfunctions in the universe for me to get that lucky.â
He smirked, slowly backing her until she was pressed against the wall.
âEarly celebration?â
âOnly if we still celebrate when we hit twenty one ninety,â she said with a smile. âGotta safeguard, here. Easier for me to make sure this doesnât become a one-time thing.â
âYou think Iâd be able to stop after one time? Itâs you,â he said, moving in closer. Her arms wound around his neck. âIâve been holding out for six years.â
âNot quite.â
âMm. Close enough.â
He leaned in to kiss her again, this time slow and soft. She kissed back, glad to finally know what his lips felt like against hers. He let his hands wander, holding to her hips and sliding down further.
âYou look real pretty in this dress,â he mumbled between kisses.
âWas hoping youâd see it and like it,â she smiled, nipping at his lip. âJust donât rip it if you decide to take it off me.â
He smiled against her as he leaned back in. He kissed her, deepening it immediately as one hand dragged down her leg. He slotted his own thigh between her legs, adding a little friction that had her gasping into his mouth. He started hiking up the skirt of the dress further. Slowly, purposely teasing her with it. Teasing himself just as much.
Then, heavy footsteps started coming down the hall. They separated quickly and ducked inside the kitchen, hoping Sam would walk past. Unfortunately, they were wrong.
Dean stood behind Y/N quickly, concealing a problem he didnât exactly have time to fix.
âHey,â Sam said softly, seemingly not noticing a thing. âI didnât hear yelling coming down and needed a drink. You two all good?â
She nodded. âGreat.â
âAwesome,â Dean said at the same time.
Sam nodded, giving a tight smile as he walked past.
âWe were actually about to head to bed, soâŠâ she said, looking at him as he stood at the fridge.
âOkay,â he nodded, nonchalant. âNight.â
âNight.â
Dean waved a quick goodbye, following after her quickly. They broke into his room, giggling like a couple of drunk toddlers.
âHe didnât hear yelling,â Dean said, closing in on her once the door was shut.
She reached for his belt, quickly undoing it as they got closer to the bed.
âHe didnât.â
He grabbed her by the waist, tossing her down on the mattress, slowly climbing on top of her.
âWanna test and see if the walls in here are just as soundproof?â
She looked up at him as he finally tugged her dress up around her hips.
âI love a good experiment.â
She laid back in the early morning hours, not even bringing herself to be annoyed that she was being suffocated by a large man on top of her. Mostly because if Dean killed her that way, it certainly would suck, but what a way to go.
She sighed, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead as he rested against her chest. She ran her fingers through his hair until he eventually woke up with the sweetest sleepy smile point at her.
âHey,â he said, adjusting himself to see her better.
âHey,â she greeted, accepting a soft kiss. âI think we shouldâve done that forever ago.â
âI donât know. Might be like a wine situation. We let it sit so long that it got even better by the time we actually got some.â
âVery poetic.â
He smiled, a hand coming to rest on her side as he kissed her again. It was slow and lazy and altogether too sweet. She was almost embarrassed that she had to be there to witness how mushy that moment was, if not for the fact that she was on the receiving end of the mush. She pulled away from him first, leaving him to whine.
âYouâre so dramatic,â she said in a whisper. âWhining?â
âYou were doing plenty of that last night,â he smirked.
âOkay,â she rolled her eyes playfully. âWhy donât we get some breakfast. Iâm starving.â
His hand started moving downward, inching up the shirt of his that she was wearing.
âI could eat.â
âDean,â she warned.
He started scooting down the mattress slowly, not giving up.
âCome on. Kitchen.â
âOoh, kinky.â
âCut it out,â she laughed. âKitchen for actual breakfast. I donât waste time when it comes to breakfast.â
They made it to the kitchen for that breakfast successfully! Twenty minutes later, anyway.
âHey,â Sam greeted, not looking up.
âMorning, Sammy,â Dean said, going straight towards the cabinets for cereal.
She realized suddenly that there may have been something she forgot in his room.
âIs that Deanâs shirt?â Sam asked.
She looked down, realizing that it was clothes she had forgotten. Sam paused, raising a hand.
âOn second thought, I donât want to know. Glad to know youâre at least not fighting. Justâ Maybe some pants next time.â
She laughed, following Dean to the table as he set down two bowls of cereal. They all sat eating in a comfortable silence. Then a slightly less comfortable silence as Dean grabbed her thigh halfway through breakfast. Sam quickly excused himself after that, a knowing smile on his face as he left.
âSo⊠Weâre in the kitchen,â Dean said, leaning towards her. âI donât think Sammyâs cominâ back anytime soon.â
After definitely not doing anything weird in the kitchen and then totally not feeling bad and scrubbing down the entire room for the day, things fell into a new rhythm. It was comfortable and surprisingly less of an adjustment than they were expecting. All of those years of relentless flirting mustâve made for an easy transition.
Dean cleared his throat a few days later, grabbing her attention as she lounged in the room heâd set aside for TV-watching (with the fun new addition of a couch).
âYeah?â she asked, looking away from the screen to see him.
âGuess what?â
âHm?â
â2190 days.â
She smiled. âYeah? Is that today?â
He hummed, giving a nod.
âWhat were those special plans of yours?â
He raised a brow. âYou really wanna know?â
She merely nodded. He paused the show they were watching.
âI, uhâ I was gonna tell you how I felt if I didnât chicken out.â
âYouâre kidding,â she replied after a beat.
âIâm not,â he said with a chuckle.
âMan. Almost twenty two hundred days of a blackout before we finally lit it up, huh?â
He laughed. âThatâs one way of putting it.â
She paused, turning to put her feet in his lap. He immediately, started rubbing her leg, enjoying the uninhibited ability to touch her.
âWanna know something funny?â
He raised a brow in question.
âYears ago someone told me they knew weâd end up together.â
âWho? Bobby?â
She shook her head. âGarth.â
He rolled his eyes as she laughed, poking him in the arm a moment later.
âGot to give it to him, heâs always been perceptive,â she noted.
âGuess so,â he nodded, reluctant to admit it. âFreakinâ Garth.â
She watched him a moment, then retracted her legs. He looked at her, almost hurt with those big puppy-dog eyes.
âOh, poor baby,â she cooed. âDonât worry, Iâm cominâ closer.â
She crawled over to him, settling in his lap. He ran his hands up her legs, a small smile returning to his lips.
âI can think of a few other ways we can celebrate today, you know?â
âYeah?â he asked, leaning into the cushions.
âFive words: apple pie in the freezer.â
