Come Back To Bed
Sam Winchester x Black!Reader
warnings: fluff, domestic intimacy, sleepy affection, soft Sam Winchester
The bunker was quiet.
Not creepy quiet for once.
Just soft.
The kind of quiet that settled in after a long hunt when everybody was exhausted and finally asleep, Dean's snoring not being heard for once cause his face was probably stuck in Cas’s neck, not that he'd admit it cause according to him, he's the big spoon
You had just finished washing your face in Sam’s bathroom, tying your bonnet over your hair while staring sleepily at your reflection before making your way back into his room.
Sam sat against the headboard of his bed, flipping through a book he’d already reread at least twice.
Truthfully, he wasn’t paying attention to it anymore.
Not when you were here.
Not when this was the first night you were actually sleeping in his room instead of one of the guest rooms.
His eyes lifted automatically when the bathroom door opened.
And froze.
You stopped near the bed.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
Sam blinked.
Then pointed vaguely toward your head.
“What’s that?”
You stared at him for a second.
Then burst out laughing.
“Oh my God, are you serious?”
“What?” he asked, smiling a little now. “I’ve never seen one before.”
“It’s a bonnet, Sam.”
“A bonnet?”
The confusion in his voice made you laugh quietly.
Sam set the book aside as you climbed onto the bed beside him, adjusting the oversized shirt you were wearing before settling against the pillows.
“C’mere,” you said.
Sam shifted closer immediately.
You reached up, lightly tapping the satin fabric over your hair.
“It protects my hair while I sleep.”
“From what?”
You turned your head slowly to look at him.
“Everything.”
You pointed at his pillow.
“Cotton dries out curly hair. Causes breakage. Frizz. Split ends. Bonnets help keep moisture in.”
Sam nodded carefully
“Okay,” he said slowly. “That actually makes sense, it's really pretty too.”
“Thank you.”

You settled against his chest beneath the blankets while his hand rubbed slowly up and down your back
It was weird.
Not weird, bad.
Just weird good.
Sleeping in the same bed felt way more intimate than making out ever did.
“You comfortable?” he asked quietly.
“Mhm.”
“You sure?”
You tilted your head slightly to look up at him.
“Sam.”
“Right. Sorry.”
You smiled a little.
— — — —
“You sure?”
You lifted your head slightly to look at him.
“Sam.”
“What?”
“You ask a lot of questions.”
“That’s literally my job.”
“You’re off the clock.”
Sam laughed softly again, and the sound alone made you feel warm.
A few minutes passed in comfortable silence before his voice interrupted your attempt to fall asleep again.
“So… the bonnet stays on all night?”
You opened one eye slowly.
“Go to sleep.”
“I’m just asking.”
“You ask too much.”
“And you’re mean.”
“You love me.”
Sam didn’t even hesitate.
“Yeah,” he said quietly. “I do.”
Sam smiled to himself and kissed the top of your bonnet gently.
“Goodnight,” he whispered.
When Sam woke up the next morning, sunlight was coming through the windows directly into his eyes, making it impossible to ignore.
For a few seconds, he just blinked sleepily at the ceiling before looking down at you automatically.
And immediately smiled.
You were still curled against him, completely asleep, one hand loosely gripping his shirt.
But your bonnet had slipped halfway off during the night, curls spilling messily across the pillow.
Carefully…incredibly carefully… he lifted his hand and adjusted the bonnet back over your hair the way he remembered you doing it earlier.
You moved a little beneath his arm.
Sam froze instantly.
But you only sighed softly and moved closer to him in your sleep.
A few seconds later, he leaned down and pressed the softest kiss imaginable against your forehead.
Then quietly:
“Go back to sleep, sweetheart.”
Sam decided right then he wasn’t getting out of bed anytime soon, either.
