they’re on a hunt & it’s going nowhere (surprise)
she’s pretty sure sam told them the wrong place,
or he was looking for an excuse to be alone.
regardless, she’s cold. even wrapped up
in a jacket (she thinks it’s sam’s), she’s
shaking. she misses the west coast.
’ how are you not freezing to death? ’
she pulls her knees to her chest, lowering her head.
she’s sure dean is talking about his baby being warm
enough for him & sam, or something, but she’s done
listening. her hands feel like ice cubes and she’s tired.
his words go in one ear and out the other, but she
can tell by his facial expression that he’s being an
asshole or calling her a baby. hues narrow before
she’s reaching over, sliding her hands under his
shirt to prove a point.
only to prove a point.
’ told you i wasn’t exaggerating. ‘
He knows she's used to the warmth and tolerable
cold of California. Dean on the other hand, could
stand out in the freezing cold in nothing but a t-shirt
and a pair of jeans and probably find a bar with cheap
whiskey to keep him warm. In other words, he's used
to it, so is Sam, and he's only teasing her and has every
intention of sliding off his jacket and giving her another
layer to wear over Sam's jacket.
Regardless of his familiarity with Allison's bluntness,
the way she seemed to lack a filter at times and
always expressed her opinion ( a quality he admired
and enjoyed about her ), he wasn't expecting, well
that.
Dean's breath hitches in his throat and her freezing
cold hands make his skin sting and although he
doesn't flinch, a shiver runs down his spine despite
his reluctance to move her hands away. His hands
release the steering wheel of the Impala and he
glances down at the hands under his shirt.
He promised, didn't he?
He promised Sam.
But he turns to look at her
and keeps his eyes on
Allison's, killing the engine
of the Impala.
