@somekindcfhero from { x } because vampire!dean
when he comes to, blinking away the, jesus, blinding light of the lamp and shaking the heavy fuzz from his head it works and it doesn’t, everything is thick but clear, almost too clear he knows immediately that he’s restrained. And im is just standing there, arms crossed and staring into him.
it’s the sudden, intense surge of bloodlust through his veins, his arteries, every atom in his body, every taste bud, that tells him he maybe didn’t escape that vamp fight unscathed. fuck.
she smells perfect. it’s the way she smells when he’s got his regular ol’ joe schmo nose, but more like heaven on earth wrapped in rushing pumps of blood under pale skin. already, his body is tight, tense, straining against his binds a little in her direction, drawn to her, and he thinks he can taste the copper of her on his tongue already. deep breath, dean. get the friggin’ facts straight, man.
“im, what what the hell happened? last thing i remember is seein’, somethin’ flyin’ towards my fuckin’ skull, an’ then ”
a twist in his restraints, tugging at them, and his eyes flick upwards to hers again. dean, but with an edge in them. like his own blood is beginning to heat and need in the presence of hers.
“c’mon, cut the rope here i’ve been through this song an’ dance before, sweetheart, i can handle the blood-munchies ”
The moment he begins to stir awake Im snaps to attention, eyes trained on the restraints keeping his hands behind the pillar, sharp gaze tracing every taut muscle and pained reaction as he meets her eyes. The light hurts, that much she can tell, and her heart sinks low into the pit of her stomach as his nostrils flare. She is now officially dealing with the worst case scenario.
Well, maybe not worst.
Slowly, she steps just a little closer, crouching just beyond the realm of his reach were he to snap the ropes pinning his wrists together. “ Now, I seem to recall someone tellin’ me not to trust anything a man says after ‘sweetheart’. ” A smile, but it’s just shy of real, not quite showing her teeth. She briefly wonders what she would see if he decided to show his.
God, every instinct pumping through her veins is screaming at her to soothe the tension she can feel building in his body, her hand itching to reach out and brush back a stray strand of hair from his forehead. Swallowing, Im shifts forward onto her knees, palms pressed tight against her thighs.
“ It shouldn’t be too much longer. The main ingredient’s been taken care of ” Her head tilts towards the bowl amid a clutter of other supplies in the corner, filled with a black liquid that had dripped down the sides and pooled on the cement floor. “ we’re just waiting for Sam to get back with the other stuff. ”
A moment of silence, teeth sunk deep into the swell of her lower lip, and Im’s hand comes up off her leg pausing mid-air for a brief second before she lets it come to rest on his knee with what she hopes is a comforting pressure.
“ Is it bad? ”
