Routine was something most people hated. They said it was boring and did everything they could to change it. But you never were like most people. Routines were a favourite part of your life (or so you kept telling yourself) and you loved it that your college roommate was the same.
Every day your alarm clock rang exactly at 7:00 and today was no different. You could already hear your best friend Sam making breakfast in the kitchen. You smiled to yourself and drank a glass of water from your nightstand.
Your thumb ran across a marked spot on your forearm, just little below your elbow. It was a tattoo of a small tree with two birds above it. You first saw it on the morning of your 18th birthday and immediately fell in love with it. It was like nothing you’ve ever seen before and you’ve always wondered if your soul mate feels the same about it.
Putting on your glasses you got up and walked into the kitchen.
“Morning Sam!” you smiled as he handed you a cup of coffee.
“Morning Y/N!” he smiled back, “Nervous about your exam tomorrow?”
You shook your head “Not really. I mean it’s not like professor Novak has ever been super strict. Besides, you know I’m gonna ace this one.”
Sam laughed and nodded, he was a year older then you were and assistant for Dr. Novak’s class. At first, you thought it would be awkward in class since you two were roommates and best friends, but Sam handled the whole situation so professionally, you were sure he was gonna get the job at the university when he finishes with his studies.
“Oh and to remind you… My brother is coming today to sleep over,” he said while you two ate breakfast.
“Oh yeah, Dean right? I’m excited to meet him!” you grinned widely. You haven’t met any of Sam’s family and he rarely talked about his brother. “Is he coming alone or?” the curiosity couldn’t leave you alone.
“Yeah… he’s not really into whole ‘relationships’ and ‘soul mate’ stuff.” Sam said quietly and you could see that there was a story behind this that he didn’t want you to know just yet. “He chooses to ignore it. Says he doesn’t want to get tied down.” he continued to your surprise.
“Well he’ll probably change his mind when he meets the right person” you tried to lighten up the mood. Sam’s already met his soul mate Jessica and you knew just how important this was to him.
“He won’t, believe me. I love him but I also know him and he ain’t changing.” he drank last sips of his coffee, “Anyways I need to get to my classes, see you tonight!”
You waved him goodbye and slowly finished your breakfast. Meeting Sam’s brother was exciting for you and you hoped you two will get along. It was a rainy day and you spent most of it studying in the library near your apartment. Most of the classes already ended for you and all that was waiting for you were exams. You loved college life, yet you couldn’t wait to return home to your parents. Even though you saw them pretty often you missed living at home.
Soon the evening approached and you decided to return to your apartment. Wondering if Dean’s already arrived, you unlocked the door and stepped in.
“I’m home!” you called out and put down your bag.
You heard Sam telling you he’s in the kitchen so you headed there. Sam was standing behind a counter and you could see another man but he was facing his back against you.
“Hey guys!” you said happily and hurried to meet mysterious man.
Sam greeted you and the man, which you were almost certain was his brother Dean, turned around.
“Hi, I’m Dean!” he flashed you a smile.
A tall, handsome man was holding his hand in front of him, waiting to shake yours while you stood frozen. You knew he was going to be handsome, just like your brother, yet you didn’t expect to be so impressed over a green-eyed man.
You slowly stuttered your name, gently placing your hand in his to shake it. Dean firmly gripped your hand and you felt tingles climbing up your arm.
“Nice to meet you, Y/N! Sam never mentioned he had such gorgeous roommate, otherwise I’d visit him sooner…” he winked at you, then turned to Sam, “I just might stay a little longer Sammy!”
Sam rolled his eyes and muttered ‘jerk’ under his breath. “Don’t mind him, Y/N. He thinks he’s special but he’s really not.”
You let out a laugh, still stunned by the older Winchester. That wasn’t like you, you always imagined your soul mate would be your first and only love. Usually, you were repelled by guys like Dean, yet somehow he managed to charm you with a smile and a deep look into your eyes.
“We’re going out to eat if you want to join us?” Sam offered and Dean jumped in without hesitation.
“Please do! I will die if I have to hear about Jessica and college the whole night!”
Before you could stop yourself a firm ‘yes’ flew out of your mouth. Dean’s smile widened and so did Sam’s eyes. You couldn’t blame him though, he wasn’t used to seeing you like that and neither were you.
“So shall we?” Dean asked, his eyes locked on you.
Once again you nodded and headed towards the door, scared yet excited to what future might bring. ___________
So what do you guys think? Do you like it? Hate it? Please let me know!
