So, How 'Bout It?
Dean’s knuckles rapped on the woodwork around your open bedroom door and you looked up to find him leaning casually with his ankles crossed and his right shoulder holding up the Bunker. A slick smile was plastered on his lips and you narrowed your eyes at him. He was up to something.
Barely lifting your attention from the book in your lap, you sighed. “What’s up?”
Dean licked his lips and you did your best not to notice. “Oh… just stoppin’ by to say ‘hey’.”
You turned the page with dramatic flare. “So get on with it.”
He sucked his teeth suggestively and ducked his chin, staring at you. “Hey.”
Your gaze lifted and your interested increased. He was wearing a tight black tee under that burgundy flannel that always drove you nuts, and his hair was spikey and damp, fresh from a shower. You cleared your throat. “Hey, yourself.” You waited, staring patiently, for him to carry on with his business of interrupting you.
He didn’t speak, nervously fidgeting with his belt buckle.
“Was there something else you needed?” you asked, laying your book aside.
Dean chewed his bottom lip and shrugged nervously. “Well, I-” There was something hiding behind his back and his arm tensed, shifting it around. “Thing is, it’s-uh-”
Ideas floated through your head and you bit back a smile. If he was doing what you thought he was doing…
“Spit it out, Winchester.”
Dean swallowed hard and pushed himself off of the door, taking a step down into your bedroom. “Thing is, it’s uh-” He cleared his throat. “It occurred to me that it’s some kinda special day and well- I didn’t want you to think I didn’t know, so-”
Standing at the foot of your bed, he pulled a small, heartshapped box of candy from behind his back and twirled it between his fingers.
Heat flooded your cheeks and your heart swelled. “Dean, did you- get me a valentine?”
He blushed and looked down and away. “It’s nothing, really. I mean- I… Saw it at the gas station and-”
Flipping onto your knees, you crawled across the mattress and took the box, holding it gently between your hands.
“You are so-” The red cellophane had been torn at the back and retapped shut. “Did you open this?”
He stammered. “Well, I mean- I uh- I took out all the coconut ones. I know you don’t like those.” Head still down, he looked up at you through thick lashes and smiled sweetly. He was more nervous than he’d been in years, more terrified than even when he’d faced the Devil himself. All because of you.
“I love it,” you said, running your fingers across the top. “You’re very sweet, Dean. Thank you.”
He took a breath and plump lips parted gently. “So… how about it?” He smiled and the light in his eyes was nothing but love. “Wanna be my Valentine, Y/N/N?”
A laugh tickled your lips and you tossed the candy over your shoulder, grabbing at Dean instead. “Thought you’d never ask…”
His kiss was tinged with coconut, but somehow, you couldn’t seem to care.
