Summary: Y/N's high school crush comes back as a coach to the school she works at. A school they both attended when they were young, and he had no idea who she was. Or at least that's what she thought.
Warnings: Swearing, brief angst, talk of divorce, high school memories, mostly fluff.
A/N: I really like how this turned out, and I hope you do too! As always, happy reading and enjoy! :)
Pouring the steaming coffee into a mug, Y/N took a seat at one of the tables in the staff room. With a large pile of papers to grade, she knew she would have to multi-task with them and listen during the morning staff meeting. There was apparently someone new coming in as coach for the football team, and while she planned to be friendly, she ultimately didn’t really care when she had so much work to get done. With her coffee in one hand and red pen in the other, she started, completely distracted as the principal walked in and started the meeting.
She’d glance up every now and then, make it look like she was paying attention, but it wasn’t until she heard the principal utter the name of the new coach that her head jerked up, eyes wide as he walked in.
Dean Winchester.
“Dean’s a past student as well, like a few of you, and we’re really glad to have him…”
Y/N never thought she’d see him again in a million years. He was practically a ghost story around town after high school finished and he left soon after. He was the star quarterback, dated the captain of the cheer squad, and never knew Y/N existed. Though his friends had certainly said a few choice words to her during those days. No matter how much she had tried to hate him, he was completely crush worthy back then, and nothing had changed as she watched him shaking hands with teachers.
Her gaze wandered over his physique, his white polo shirt tight across his chest and arms, the edge over dark khaki pants. He had clearly grown more into his looks, which is saying something considering he was already a heartthrob in school. Sitting forward, she put her head down and got back to her work, determined to not be distracted by him again. She would often find herself daydreaming in class whenever he would walk in, late of course, and she always got in trouble for staring off into space.
“Y/N.”
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and knew it was too good to be true to be able to ignore him. Lifting her head, she saw him smiling down at her before he took the seat across the table, crossing his leg as he sat back.
“It’s been a long time,” he stated, a smirk appearing on his face.
“Not long enough,” she mumbled under her breath, looking down at the essay in front of her.
He huffed a small laugh, hearing her clearly. “Still a firecracker.”
“Still?”
“You haven’t changed a bit,” he said, leaning forward with his forearms against the table, his hands clasped as he stared into her eyes.
Y/N felt her cheeks heating up under his gaze, but quickly stood up and gathered all her students’ papers in her hands. “That kind of observation would’ve required you noticing me in the first place, Winchester.”
Without giving him a chance to hit her with a witty remark, she made a beeline for the staff room door and made her way down the halls. She had no interest in going down memory lane, especially when she didn’t have the best high school experience.
She’d act professional, but there was just no way she was going to give Dean Winchester even a second of her time.
The next few weeks passed in the same way. Dean would try to start up a conversation whenever he saw her, and she’d give him one-word answers or none at all. She hoped he would just get the hint and give up, but she had to admire his persistence even if she found it frustrating. She wasn’t sure if he had some other agenda, that maybe he was trying to get her attention only to throw a milkshake in her face like one of the football guys did back in the day, but she had to remind herself that she wasn’t a teenager in high school anymore. She was a teacher, he was a coach, and they had grown since then.
A sunny day was welcomed by everyone, a nice change as they headed into colder weather and weren’t going to have days like this soon. Y/N sat outside at one of the lunch tables, taking her work and her food with her, hoping that the good weather would help with the dread of grading tests. If one more student got a question about the Civil War wrong, she was about to scream.
“Great weather, huh?”
Dean sat down on the bench across from her, turkey sandwich in hand as he smirked. Y/N sat back in disgust as she watched him glance over the tests laid out on the table.
“History, huh?” he muttered around a mouthful, shaking his head. “Could never stay awake in that.”
“Oh, trust me, I know,” she scoffed, rolling her eyes. “I nearly had to swap seats with you because you weren’t paying attention, but I couldn’t-”
“Because of your glasses,” he finished her sentence, shocking her with the memory. “You couldn’t see anything from the back. I remember.”
“Y-You do?” she asked, her voice low as she continued to stare at him. Of all the things she was expecting him to say, that wasn’t one of them.
He gave her a firm nod. “Yeah, I mean… I felt bad that Ms. Jones singled you out.”
“Well, it was forever ago, so you’re forgiven,” she stated, sighing. “I just… can’t believe you remember that.”
“I remember plenty of things about you,” he countered, leaning forward on his forearms as he looked into her eyes.
“Really?” she asked, raising an eyebrow, sceptic about what he just revealed.
“Yeah,” he replied, easily as he shrugged his shoulders. “You didn’t give a shit about what people thought about you, and uh, well I guess I wish I was more like that. Wouldn’t be in the mess I’m in now if I was.”
She frowned, watching him dust the crumbs from his sandwich off his fingers. “You and Suzy?” She had guessed that they were still together after high school, but clearly something had gone wrong.
“Divorced, three months ago,” he stated, a huffed, bitter laugh leaving him. “Moved back home to get away from her, now I’m staying with Sam and his family until I can get back on my feet.”
“Dean,” she breathed, her voice soft as she tilted her head to make eye contact with him. “I’m really sorry.”
One side of his mouth pulled up, nodding slowly. “Gotta start fresh somehow, right? Plus, it’s got perks, Eileen’s a good cook.”
Y/N chuckled. “You and food.”
“Hey, it’s one of the two greatest pleasures in this world,” he declared, emphasizing his point by taking a bite of his sandwich.
“And what’s the other?” she asked.
He swallowed, looking at her pointedly as he smirked. “I gotta spell it out for ya? Draw a diagram?” he winked.
“Oh my god,” she groaned, closing her eyes as she quickly realized. “We’re in school, Dean.”
“It’s not like they heard,” he observed, looking around the school grounds. “It’s not like they’re not already doing it, either.”
“Okay, that’s my cue,” she announced, standing up quickly and collecting the tests.
“Hey, come on, don’t leave,” he pleaded, his hand slipping over hers to stop her. “We were good, first time you haven’t looked at me with repulsion. I call that a win.”
“These aren’t gonna grade themselves,” she stated, flicking through the tests with her thumb.
“I’ll help,” he offered, his smirk turning into a grin as he knew he had her. “Just you know… give me the answer sheet.”
Y/N bit into her lip as she thought about it for a moment. For once he hadn’t gotten on her nerves, and she found herself thinking about those days when she wanted nothing more than for him to notice her. Now he finally had, and it felt genuine. She just hoped she was right.
There was only one way to find out for sure.
“Okay,” she whispered, sitting down again and handing over half the pile to him, followed by the answer sheet. “Let me know if you can’t decipher someone’s handwriting…”
“Sure thing, sweetheart,” he muttered, smiling at her before he looked down at the papers.
Feeling her cheeks heat up and butterflies in her stomach from the pet name, she put her head down and got to work, trying to ignore whatever she was feeling.
Y/N’s heels clicked against the path as she walked towards the football field. She watched as Dean yelled different instructions to the team, the boys moving with each play their coach called out. She sat down on the first bench of the bleachers, crossing one leg over the other as she stared down at the post-it note Dean had left on her desk.
Come by after practice. Something I wanna show you.
- D
It had been a couple of weeks since she first let her guard down with him, and things had actually been really good. They were spending almost all their lunches together, talking and laughing as they reminisced about the past. He had apologized on behalf of anything the guys had said to her back then, but she couldn’t accept it when he wasn’t the one who had done anything wrong. She was very much crushing on him again, as much as she was trying not to, but with those green eyes and kind smile how could she stop herself?
She lifted her head as she heard Dean blew his whistle in one long breath, calling the end of practice.
“Alright, nice work! Hit the showers!”
Dean spotted Y/N standing up from the bench, wearing a maroon dress and black heels, causing a smirk to grow on his features as he walked towards her. She felt her heart beating faster as he came towards her, the school’s red jacket over the polo shirt and his own dark blue jeans. They stood in front of each other for a moment, their eyes locked as they both thought of something to say.
“Ready?” he asked.
“For what?” she laughed.
Offering his hand, she placed hers in it, feeling her heart skip a beat as his fingers closed over. They walked back to his office to pick up his car keys before they left the school building. He led her over to his car and helped her in before walking around to the driver’s side. She turned to look at him, wondering what he had up his sleeve as he pulled out of the parking lot and drove down the street.
They drove just to the outskirts of town, the open highway ahead of them until Dean turned down a dirt road. They slowly came to a stop at a clearing, the sun beginning to set behind the trees in the distance, bathing the sky in hues of pink and purple. He got out of the car just as she did, taking her hand once more and helping her sit on the hood as they looked up at the sky.
“So… what’s going on?” she asked, nudging her arm into him.
“You have to guess,” he replied, smirking.
“What? I don’t-” she shook her head, huffing a small chuckle as she couldn’t understand what he was trying to do. “Okay… twenty questions?”
“Sure,” he agreed, still grinning.
“Okay… is it something I can see?” she asked, glancing around them at the clearing.
“Nope,” he muttered, smugly.
“Is it something small?” she questioned.
“Yes,” he replied.
“Okay… something I can touch?”
“Yeah.”
“Something I can eat?”
“No.”
Y/N continued trying to guess what he was talking about until she finally gave up. There was just no way that she was going to get it.
“Alright, fine,” he gave in, reaching into his pocket and taking out a small, rectangular box. He glanced up at her as he opened it, watching the disbelief flash across features.
“Oh my God, how-how did you-” She took the box from him, lifting the silver necklace out, her thumb running over the small, dragonfly pendant that hung from it. “I lost this, how do you have this?” she asked, shaking her head in shock.
“You dropped it after a P.E. class and I was going to get it to you, but I guess I forgot. Then I thought I lost it too, but I found it in a box of my stuff a few days ago,” he explained, looking between the necklace and her.
He took it from her hands and opened the clasp, reaching behind her neck and locking it in place. As he drew back, his face was close to hers, their eyes peering into each other’s. She never thought that when he first joined as coach that this would be the outcome, but she couldn’t hold in how she felt anymore. Y/N leaned in, pressing her lips to his in a soft kiss, a moan escaping her as he cupped her cheeks in his hands, the kiss becoming deeper.
It was exactly how she had imagined it would be, all those years ago when she would daydream in class. No. It was even better because it was actually happening.
Dean pulled away first, leaning up and pressing his lips to her forehead in a light kiss, making her smile. “Never dreamed we’d be here, huh?”
“I did, but…” She smiled, lifting her head to look into his green eyes, falling deeper for him than she ever had back then.
“I’m really glad it’s finally real.”
