Imagine Keeping Your Relationship With Sam a Secret
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You move to follow the brothers out of the bar where you all had just asked the employees about a regular that was last seen there.
“Come back sometime, Agent Grey!” A man’s voice calls.
Not even hesitating at your alias, you turn to look back at the guy. Seeing him grin like he was oh so clever and hot, you see his friend beside him roll her eyes and smile sympathetically at you. You continue out the door and to the car. When you’re all in, Dean loosens his tie and looks back at you with a smirk.
“Looks like we already know Y/N is going to get lucky on this case.” He says with a laugh and glances at his brother who forces a little laugh before looking away annoyed.
“Don’t be gross, Dean.” You say, letting your hair out of the clip holding it up.
He laughs again and raises a defensive hand. “I’m just saying you could.”
“With that slimeball? Give me some credit. I have better taste than that.” You sneak a peek at Sam, and catch the corner of his mouth rise ever so slightly.
“Now you’re getting picky? I seem to remember a lame bartender or two in the past.”
“You’re getting my history mixed up with your long list of bottle blond waitresses.”
This gets a little chuckle from Sam.
“Hey now!” Dean says defensively. “They haven’t all been blonds.”
You laugh, and the rest of the ride back to the victim’s house is quiet.
The tops of your bottles come together in a quiet clink, and the three of you take a swig of your beers.
“Another job well done!” Dean says before downing the rest of his.
“Thanks to that save from Y/N.” Sam adds, smiling at you, and patting your leg under the table.
You smile back. “What would you two do without little ole me?”
Dean rolls his eyes. “Okay All-Star, why don’t you go get the next round?”
You look at the bar and groan.
“You get served quicker thanks to your buddy up there.”
“That guy is a creep.” You argue.
“You don’t have to, Y/N.” Sam says. Letting his hand fall from your leg, and sliding out of the booth.
Dean watches his brother walk away before turning back to you.
“You notice he’s been a little moody recently?”
You shrug. “He seems fine to me.”
Considering the only time he’s seemed grumpy lately is when there’s another guy involved. You two haven’t told Dean, but you’ve sort of been seeing each other for a little while now. Neither of you liked keeping it from him, but Sam thinks Dean will disapprove and try to talk them out of it because of the way they live. You’ve just been waiting for the right time, after you two privately see if there’s anything to this new relationship.
He keeps watching Sam where he stands at the bar waiting. “Something is different.” He says, and you hardly hear it.
“I’m sure everything is alright.”
“Talk to him?” He asks you, and motioning to the bar. When he can see you’re going to protest he continues. “I know you two are close, and you can talk to him and get more out of him than protective big brother can.”
You sigh and stand up. He smiles up at you, and you make your way through the crowded bar to stand just behind Sam. Looking back, you can see Dean watching. You put your hand on Sam’s shoulder, and he looks behind him.
His face lights up with his amazing dimpled smile. “Hey you.”
You can’t help but to smile back up at him. “I’m on a mission.”
“I was getting the drinks.” he looks confused.
“No, not that. Protective big brother thinks something is wrong with you and that you’ve been moody. I’m here to make sure you’re okay. So? Are you okay?”
He looks back in the direction of his brother, and you nudge him.
“Don’t look over there! You’re missing the point that this is supposed to be hush hush and you aren’t supposed to know he’s so worried.”
He laughs and gently pulls you between him and the bar so his back is all Dean can see. He rests his hands on your hips and you resist the urge to wrap your arms around his neck. Settling for using a handful of the front of his shirt to pull him a little closer.
“I’m okay.” He says looking into your eyes. “Way better than okay now, actually.”
You smile. “Mission accomplished, I guess.”
You hear bottles set down behind you and turn around to find the skeevey bartender grinning at you.
“I knew you’d be back., Agent Grey.” He leans forward resting his arms on the bar.
You ignore him, and grab the bottles, meaning to walk away without a word, but he places a hand over your arm.
You look from his hand to his face, and in a measured, calm tone say, “Get your hand off me.”
You feel Sam stiffen where he’s pushed up against your back. Clearly this guy is clueless and doesn’t see the very large guy you’ve been standing very close to, or he’s too cocky and doesn’t care.
“Awe come on honey.” He says still grinning.
Sam’s hand reaches from behind you, grabs and twists the bartender’s wrist back, and says, “I think the lady told you to get your hands off of her.”
The guy pulls his hand from Sam’s grip. “Are you her bodyguard?” He tries to look tough, but the effect is ruined by him rubbing his wrist.
Sam’s laugh is short. “Dude, trust me. I’m saving your ass here.”
Looking angry, he just walks away. You turn back to Sam.
“I could’ve handled that.”
He raises his hands. “I said I was saving his ass!”
You squint at him, and try to play tough, but he just laughs and pulls you closer. His lips meeting yours.
The kiss doesn’t last long, because a moment later you hear “What the hell?!”
You both look up startled into Dean’s surprised face.
“Sam is okay!” You say trying to joke.
“I see that.” Dean says looking between the two of you. “How long-”
He was cut short when an arm comes through the three of you, and a fist connects with the corner of Sam’s mouth. You all wheel around to find creepy bartender looking smug.
“What the hell is going on?!” Dean asks.
Sam hits the guy back, and a random bar-goer tries to come to the bartender’s aid, but before he gets to Sam, Dean turns on him. When the bartender is knocked on his back, you try to come between him and Sam and push him back. You grab and pull the back of Dean’s jacket after you have Sam backing away.
“Let’s go.” You yell as you try to wrangle the two of them, and force them out the door.
Once outside and beside the Impala, Dean turns back to you and Sam.
“What the hell was that all about!?” He asks a little winded.
“He had grabbed Y/N, and I made him let go, but that was long before the sucker punch.” Sam said, touching his lip.
“And that kiss? Are you two together?” Dean looks between you.
You look sheepishly back at him. “We wanted to tell you, Dean! It’s just-”
“We knew you would disapprove, and we were waiting for the right time.” Sam finishes for you.
“Disapprove?” He raises his brows. “I’m not dad, Sammy. It’s not about my approval.”
“We thought that if you knew, you’d try to talk us out of it, and we just wanted to give it some time.” You explain.
Sam just nods beside you.
“Not that it matters, but I don’t disapprove at all.”
“Really?” You and Sam both say at the same time.
Dean chuckles. “No! I think this is great! Obviously, I know you’re great, Y/N. Good for Sammy, and who better to share this life with than someone who is already in it too?”
You and Sam smile at each other, and he takes your hand.
Dean scrunches his face, “That will take some time to get used to though.”
He ducks into the car, but before you can too, Sam pulls you to him for a kiss, and you can feel the smile on his lips.
“I knew he’d be fine with it.” You say with a smile when he pulls away.
“Yeah, yeah.” He laughs, and quickly kisses you again before you both get in the car.
