IMAGINE: I have no absolute way to describe this fluffy mess of a story. I hope it’s sweet enough that it’ll give you cavities. WORD COUNT: 1.4k
“Jason! I swear to god; stop leaving this damn mask around!” You exclaim.
You had just found this creepy mask made to look like a rotting human face in your dresser. Your lovely boyfriend thought it was funny to constantly hide this horrible costume around the apartment the two of you shared. Jason always got a kick out of it.
Jason emerged from the bathroom, his face red from laughing. “I-I’m s-sorry babe,” he choked out, wiping a tear as he did so. “I couldn’t help it!”
Rolling your eyes, you grab the mask and toss it in his face. “You dick! You’re going to make me late!” Rummaging through the drawer, you find a dark blue t-shirt. “Aha!” You exclaim. “Thought you could hide from me!’
Pulling out the shirt, you quickly tug it on before heading towards the kitchen. You hear Jason follow you quietly as you prepare your lunch.
“Do you have to go?” He whined childishly. Playfully glaring at him, you nod.
“Yes, you know Brett would kill me if I didn’t. I promised him I’d be there today.”
“Why?” Jason grumbled again.
“The shelters’ been down on workers lately, and most people are too busy to volunteer. I said that I’d put in more hours to even it out.” Hearing him groan again, you cock your head.
“What’s the matter, you big baby? It’s not my fault people don’t enjoy working with animals.” When he doesn’t reply, you shrug your shoulders. Finishing up your lunch, you search for your keys.
“Can I come with you?” Jason pipes up.
Pausing in your search, you look at him curiously. “You?” You ask, amazed. “Badass Jason Todd wants to help at an animal shelter?” Jason shrugged meekly before smiling.
“I’m bored. Besides, it might be nice to help for a change.”
“Brett! We got company!” Your boss poked his head out of his tiny office and grins when he sees the two of you approach.
“Well, I’ll be darned!” He exclaimed, letting his country roots show. “Now who is this young gentleman?”
“I’m Jason,” your boyfriend introduced himself. “I’m here to help with whatever you need.” Brett clapped his hands and cheered.
“Thank heavens. We’ve been needing volunteers lately.” Jason looked to you, a smile playing at the edge of his lips.
“So I heard; now what can I do for you, chief?”
Your boss quickly explained that all they had fed the animals, and all that was left was to interact with the dogs. “Now boy,” Brett directed Jason. “You need to watch yourself around Charlie. She’s sensitive. You can’t keep your back to her for long.”
After Brett left, you calm Jason down. “Don’t listen to what he said. Charlie’s a sweetheart. You got to give her time to warm up to you.”
Soon, you approach the kennels, where the dogs greeted you with much enthusiasm. Chuckling, you grab a bag of dog treats.
“Here.” You hand Jason a meat stick. “Give this to Charlie.”
Glancing at the row of cages, the anti-hero raised an eyebrow. “Which one is Charlie?” Gesturing to a certain kennel, you head over.
As you get closer, the dog inside doesn’t budge like the others do. Jason follows close behind.
Getting to the door, you open it. The dog still doesn’t move. “What’s wrong with her?” Jason asked curiously.
“Charlie… She’s had a bit of a rough past. Worse than the other dogs here.” Nodding his head, your boyfriend knelt beside you.
“How come she doesn’t have a label on her cage like the others?”
You observe Jason as he eyes the white-furred canine. “Her name isn’t actually Charlie. We just call her that because her… Previous owners didn’t give her a name. She doesn’t really respond to anything we call her.”
As Jason lowly whistles, you watch ‘Charlie’ perk up her ears. The pitbull hesitantly turns her head, causing your boyfriend to gasp.
They scarred her face; several marks ran across her face in perfect symmetry. Her eyes were a vibrant blue; they seemed so bright until you noticed the left side of her face. The fur was gone, leaving only pale pink flesh.
“She used to be a fighter,” you explain gently, holding out your hand. You watch as the dog flinches but continues to reach for your open palm. You practically coo when she leans into your touch. “We consider her lucky to be alive.”
Jasons silent, so much so, that you hesitate to ask if he’s okay. You’re surprised when he shakes.
“What kind of monster does that? What sane person turns an innocent creature into this… This weapon?”
Taken aback by his response, you look at your boyfriend with wide eyes. Taking a deep breath through his nose, Jason shut his eyes. Sensing his stress, the pitbull slowly approached the door.
Amazed, you watch the dog nudge the anti-hero carefully. When he doesn’t react, she tries again.
Jason’s anger melts as he opens his eyes. The pitbull’s stubby tail wags as she leans against him. You watch as your boyfriend eagerly responds; gently scratching the sides of her neck to rubbing her ears.
“She really likes you,” you tell him, watching the way the dog melted into Jason’s touch.
“How long has this beauty been in here?”
“About five months. Soon to be six. Usually, when people come in here, they want a puppy or a ‘proper’ looking dog. 'Charlie’ here doesn’t fit the bill.”
Jason continues to shower the dog in affection as you say your hellos to the others. By the time you finished your rounds, the brunette was still with the broken puppy.
“Are you trying to make me jealous?” You ask him, feigning anger. The playfulness fades away as you watch the two.
“You’re really attached to her, aren’t you?”
He doesn’t respond, but even you know the answer. A blind man could see the bond beginning to form.
“Why wouldn’t anyone want this sweet little thing? She’s perfect.” Jason rubs her head once more before turning to you. You can already see the wheels turning in his head.
“You want to get her, don’t you?”
His cheeks turn red as Jason stutters. “W-well… She could use a n-nice home. And you always wanted a dog. She’s perfect. We can give her the life she deserves.”
Joining in, the dog gives you kiss after kiss, coaxing you to adopt her.
“Well you are adorable,” you tell her, teasing Jason. “Is that a yes?” He asks excitedly.
If that man had a tail, it would probably cause a tornado with the way your boyfriend was acting.
“I’ll go get the paperwork from Brett.”
“Sign here,” Brett directs you and Jason. As you write down your signatures, your boss pulls out another paper.
“Now, since you want to adopt a dog without a name, you can call her whatever you want.”
Jason looks to you hopefully, silently begging you to let him choose. Smiling, you nod.
“Go for it.”
Ecstatic, he quickly presses his lips to yours before turning to Brett. “I think Hope seems like a fitting name.” Hearing him talk, the pitbull’s ears perked up.
“Hope. Not bad son. Not bad at all.”
Brett prints down the name with a smile. You watch as he stamps the paper with ease, adding his signature soon after.
“There you go,” he tells you, handing you the official papers. “You are all free to take Hope home.”
Jason looks ecstatic as he brings Hope out to the car. A smile never leaves your lips as he helps her into the vehicle.
“This is where you are going to sleep,” Jason instructs Hope. He points to the foot of the bed. “You can get as many cuddles as you want.”
“Cuddles?” You ask him. “Since when do you use the term cuddle?”
“Since I wanted to. Ok?” Your boyfriend asked in a rush, hiding his pink-tinted cheeks.
The two of you then calmly watch as your new pet inspects the home. Deciding it was suitable, Hope faced you. Her muzzle lifted at the sides as she eagerly wagged her tail.
Today was a good day.
No but to be serious guys i didnt expect that movie to be that kind of good. I expected great fights. I expected complicated morals. I did not expect that movie to say i know everything seems hopeless but you dont get a choice, you have to try. I did not expect that movie to say when we are up against an impossible, unjust threat the only way through is freely given kindness and forgiveness. I did not expext that movie to say the real way villans win is by preying on those we’ve already decided are hopeless. I did not expect that movie to say we all have to believe we can get better. Please believe me we can all get better. Oh my god.
I've listened to a few of these tips, please take care of yourselves
shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
put on clean, comfortable clothes.
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
if being hard on yourself worked, it would have worked by now
Can you please write an imagine where Gibbs’s significant other gets wine drunk and steals his shirts and dances around his kitchen in socks and sit on his counters and sway with him while he’s super amused and whispers in her earnd y? Please and thank you!!
I hope I did this request justice; fingers crossed you like it!
Imagine: Dean Winchester doesn’t believe that he can truly fall in love with someone. Even after catching up with you, an ex-hunter, he can’t help but deny his growing feelings as some magical sham. He can’t care for someone as he does you, right? Word Count: 5k
I don't even like you, why d'you want to go and make me feel this way? And I don't understand what's happened, I keep saying things I never say.
"What is she doing here?" Dean asked Sam. He sent his brother a quick glare as you waved in their direction before returning to the bookshelves.
"Y/N offered to help us with this case," Sam told his brother. "Be grateful; she flew in yesterday. Give her a break."
The two silenced themselves as you approached them. You grinned stupidly as you proudly held up a pile of books. "I got those books you asked for Sammy," you declared, brushing a stray lock of hair out of your (Eye Color) eyes.
Why are you still here talking to us? Dean thought. Sammy and I need to get going on this case. You're distracting m- us. You're distracting us.
"His name is Sam," Dean told you sternly. "Ever thought of using it?"
Rolling your eyes, you shot the hunter a grin. "Like you're one to follow rules, Winchester," you joked. Adjusting your coat, you glance out the shop's large windows. The snow was falling at a faster pace than it was before.
"I better head back to the airport," you informed the younger brother. "If I don't leave now, I'll be stuck in town with you morons until the planes are ready to go. Good luck with that 'test' loser."
You struggled to give Sam a hug. He laughed as you tried to wrap your arms around his midsection.
"You aren't even trying," he teased, watching as you groaned in frustration. Your grunts turned into squeals as Sam picked you up.
Rolling his eyes, Dean watched the two of you giggle with glee as you both messed around in the shop. People passing by ‘awwed' at your cuteness as you continued to act like fools.
"Are you guys done?" Asked the older Winchester as he looked away from the scene. Something about it left a foul taste in his mouth.
"Aww, someone mad I'm not giving him any love?" You teased cheekily. Sam let go of you, allowing you to approach Dean. You opened your arms wide and gestured to him. "Want a hug?"
"Pft, no!" Dean stated, crossing his arms. Unfazed by his rejection, you got your arms around Dean. The hunter could feel himself growing warm as you smiled up at him.
"Don't deny it, you love it when I hug you."
No, I absolutely despise it, I- Does your hair always smell this good? Dean thought.
Rolling his eyes, the eldest Winchester brother tried pushing you away. "Don't you have to be someplace?" He asked you.
With wide eyes, you pulled away. "Right! I have to get home!" Sam cleared his throat, catching your attention.
"I think you're a little late for that Y/N," he told you as he watched the heavy snowfall. "Snow's getting bad out there. I'm sure the airport's shut down by now."
The hunter glanced at the almost hidden Impala and grimaced. "Even the car's going to be a hassle today."
Dean scoffed at the thought of his baby being left out in the cold. But even he had to admit getting the vehicle out of the snow would be a pain in the ass.
The car quickly left his mind when he focused on you.
You had started to pout once you realized you couldn't leave town. It made Dean's chest hurt as he watched you try to come up with a backup plan.
"I think we got room for one more in the motel, Sammy. What do you think?" Dean asked his brother.
Your eyes quickly lit up as you looked between the two brothers. "You're serious?" You ask, crossing your fingers hopefully.
As Dean looks to Sam, he pretends to sigh as if he already regretted the suggestion. "If you don't like it, I can always change my-" The hunter struggled to catch you as you launched yourself at him.
"You guys are lifesavers!" You exclaimed as you did the same to Sam. The tallest of the brothers was more prepared as he caught you with ease. Dean tried to not pay attention to this.
Instead, he shrugged as if it was nothing before heading towards the shop's exit.
"Don't thank us yet. You still have to choose who you want to bunk with. We only got two beds."
I can feel you watching even when you're nowhere to be seen. I can feel you touching even when you're far away from me.
"How much longer do we have to stay in this crap town?" Groaned Dean. "It's been like a week and a half dude. I don't like it!"
The brothers had headed out to the local bar. The roads that led out of town were covered with ice. The locals told them it would be a death sentence if they even attempted to leave. Seeing as they already wrapped up the hunt a day prior (Vampire was imitating both a demon and a spirit) the Winchesters hit the town.
You had stayed back at the motel as you weren't feeling too well. Dean was reluctant to leave you by yourself, but you insisted. Now and then, he caught himself looking at the empty chair beside him.
"I'm an ex-hunter," you had told him. "I think I know how to take care of myself Dean-o."
"It's been four days, Dean," Sam chastised. "Besides, the weather forecast says it should be over by Friday. We just got to wait a day." The long-haired man chuckled as he took a swig of beer.
"Besides," he quickly added. "I don't think you'd mind much. You seem to be having fun sharing a bed with Y/N."
"What... What did you just say?" Dean struggled to ask.
Usually, if his brother said something that was in some manner of insulting, the hunter would verbally assault his ass until Sam didn't know what hit him. This time, however, the man was caught off guard.
"You heard me," Sam replied. "You like sharing a bed with Y/N."
"Do not!" Dean shot back.
Even as the words left his mouth, the hunter glanced around the small bar. He didn't want you to hear.
Wait, what the hell am I doing? Dean asked himself. You're not even here and you're still causing me trouble Y/N!
The bartender heard the Winchester's outburst and silently approached the two like a shark in bloody waters. She offered a flirty smile as her ruby red lips parted to reveal pearl-like teeth.
"Can I get you boys anything else?" She asked, looking towards Dean. The sibling smiled at her, nodding.
"Just a beer, please," he asked politely.
"Nothing else, hot stuff?" She asked, quickly batting her eyelashes at the hunter. Raising his finger, Dean fingered through the menu he still had.
It took him an extra second before he quietly set the laminated sheet down. "I'll have the seasoned fries," Dean told the girl. "With extra ketchup." Turning to his brother, he asked if he wanted anything. Sam shook his head slowly as he eyed Dean curiously.
"That'll be it, sweetheart," the hunter told the girl, giving her a small smile.
The bartender scoffed as she wrote everything down. Sending him a glare, she stalked into the kitchen and yelled at the cook to start up the fryer.
"Wow," Sam uttered as he watched his brother casually finish his beer. When Dean didn't respond, he went on. "I can't believe you just dissed that girl!"
"So what, Sammy?" Demanded Dean. "I'm not in the mood for shit like this. And besides, where am I going to take her? Not at the motel!"
"The car," Sam answered. "Her place. Some empty park. The alleyway. The-"
"I get it," his brother snapped. "I just- I'm not interested."
Chills suddenly went up the man's spine as he refused to look at his hand. It tingled painfully as he clenched his fist.
Dean could still feel you, his skin under your hand. It made him crazy not to touch you.
You woke up with a groan. The light of morning shot through the windows as it gently rested across the bed. Feeling a yawn rise, you try to stretch out your arms.
I say try because a certain green-eyed hunter refused to let you.
Glancing down at your waist, you see Dean's arm wrapped around you. Looking over your shoulder, you see said man resting against you peacefully. He looked so relaxed, it would have been a crime to wake him.
That still didn't change the fact that you had to go pee.
"Dean," you whisper. "Dean!" When he didn't budge, you poked his light scruff.
"Dean..." You whined pitifully. "I'm going to piss the bed if you don't get off of me!"
Sam, having just awoken because of your not-so-quiet yelling, had noticed your struggle and woke up his brother for you.
"DEAN!" Sam shouted.
Automatically, the hunter woke up. Using his reflexes, he threw himself over your body and held you close to his chest. His breathing grew erratic as he looked for signs of danger.
Sam couldn't help but laugh as he took in your flushed face. With slow movements, you gently tap Dean's bare bicep.
"Dean, I need you to get up," you tell him gently. He sent you a questioning look, but it quickly dawned on him what position the two of you were in.
Sending you a sheepish smile, Dean released you from his grip. Getting off of the bed, he rubbed the back of his neck.
"So..." He started nervously. "Anyone want burgers for breakfast?"
He touched you. Dean touched you and he loved it. The hunter wasn't exactly sure what to feel about it.
Love seemed like the right term. He didn't hate you. He wasn't disgusted by you. Definitely not.
Ugh, this was high school all over again. Just a big, giant pain in the ass.
"Shut up bitch," Dean sneered.
As much as he wanted to scream and cry, and just have a good old-fashioned fit, he couldn't. It was impossible.
Dean Winchester was inexplicably but deeply in love with you.
Tell me where you're hiding your voodoo doll 'cause I can't control myself. I don't wanna stay; I wanna run away, but I'm trapped under your spell.
"Think she has a hex bag or something?" Dean asked Sam.
The snow cleared up in town, allowing you and the brothers to leave. You were going to continue with your original plans of going back home, but Dean offered you to stay with them.
You ended up quickly agreeing, but only after when they promised to drive you back home to get more of your stuff.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sam asked. "You really think Y/N planted a hex bag? Just to make you love her?"
"Would you stop saying that!" Dean barked angrily.
In his burst of anger, he threw the clothes he had into the air. A stray pair of boxers landed on his head as he glared at Sam.
The youngest hunter backed down once he noticed how riled up his brother had gotten. "All right," he quickly stated. "I'll shut up."
Sending him a final scowl, Dean went back to searching his stuff. Clothes were scattered across the room as he went through his stuff.
After a while of finding nothing, Sam piped up once more. "I don't know why you think she planted anything. Y/N's a hunter. She knows better than to-"
He was suddenly cut off by a small object smacking him in the face. Using his reflexes, he caught the item before it fell to the ground.
"What did I tell you?" Dean demanded. With quick movements, he slipped on a fresh shirt before shouldering his way past Sam. Plucking the hex bag out of his hands, the older brother left the room and made his way to the one right next to it.
"Open up Y/N!" The hunter spat as he pounded on the door. It took him several times before it opened. Just as he was about to let all hell loose, Dean noticed what you were wearing.
"What was so important that you couldn't wait until after I finished showering?" You asked him, trying but failing miserably to keep your obvious anger out of your tone. Keeping a tight grip on your towel, you lean against the doorway, ignoring the droplets of water running down your back.
"I um..." Dean trailed off. He glued his eyes to yours as he avoided looking down. "You, uh... Left something in my... You gave me a, um..."
"Oh!" Your eyes lit up as he held up the cloth bag. "You found it! I was going to give it to you in person, but-"
"Wait," Dean cut you off, snapping out of his dazed trance. "You wanted me to know about your little hex bag?"
"Hex bag?" You question. Before he could explain, you laughed. The hunter stood there confused as you held your sides, careful to keep the thin cloth secured around your chest.
"It's... It's not a hex bag!" You told Dean after finishing your laugh. "It's just a poorly wrapped gift." Taking the bag from him, you slowly unwound the leather strap and show him the contents.
A silver bracelet shined under the high-noon sun. It glimmered as you brought it closer to Dean's face as you showed him.
"I got this for you a while back. Sam has one too, but I don't think he found his yet. An old priest had given these to me and I wanted you guys to have them."
"Oh," Dean said sheepishly. "That... That was nice of you." You couldn't help but laugh as you watched the hunter accept the gift.
"Why didn't you check it?" Before he could explain, you shot another question. "Did you really think I planted a curse on you?"
"Well- No! Of course not! It's just- Well, things have been- I don't want to talk about it!" Dean stumbled over his words. He looked as if he wanted to say more, but walked away, back to his room instead.
You watched as he disappeared inside and shut the door. It hurt to see him go, but you shook your head.
He probably had a good reason, right? You ask yourself. Something must've happened and- He's mad. No doubt about it.
With a groan, you shut your own door and return to the bathroom to continue your shower.
It hurts in my head and my heart and my chest, and I'm having trouble catching my breath. Won't you please stop loving me to death?
"How did you dumbasses convince me to come back to this bullshit?" You ask the brothers as you adjust your gear.
Over the years, you learned to wear certain things when going on hunts. The most important thing was to wear thick leather boots with an equally thick jacket. Your weapons rested snugly in their harnesses as you adjusted the knife in your boots.
"It's a mystery to me," said Sam as he chuckled in the passenger's seat. He looked over to his brother. "Got any ideas?"
"No," Dean replied quickly, suddenly focusing on the road. His hands moved soundlessly against the wheel as he pulled into an empty dirt lot.
As he parked the car, you glimpsed silver on his wrist. The sight of it brought a smile to your face.
Sam had shown you his golden one earlier. He loved it. And although Dean hadn't said it, you were sure he did.
"Besides, it's a ghost," Dean told you, adding on to the previous conversation. "It'll be as easy as pie. Nothing special."
With a scoff, you exit the car and head to the trunk. The boys follow you as you pop it open and grab things. "What are you doing?" Sam suddenly questioned you as you slipped rings on your fingers.
"Yeah, we ain't dressing up for anything fancy now," his brother commented. Ignoring their words, you adjust the jewelry.
"Salt filled cartridges are fun and all, so are crowbars. But wouldn't it be nice to physically hit one of these bastards?"
The boys look at each other curiously before staring at your fingers. They both recognize the dark gray metal resting upon your hands. Dean took one of your hands and inspected them. It was hard to hide your red cheeks, but the darkness of the night provided help.
"I will never understand why you would ever stop hunting with ideas like this," he told you quietly.
The blush disappears as you pull your hand out of the hunter's grip. "Is hunting worth losing those close to you?"
You say nothing more after you gather your things. The boys quickly suit up as you make sure everything was ready. They signal you with a quick pump of their shotguns. Sam quickly took the lead as he wandered into the woods.
"So this guy just lured people into his tiny little shack in the middle of nowhere and just killed them?" You asked Dean. You were trying to learn all you could about this last-minute case.
"Yep," the Winchester confirmed. "Sick freak. Rumor has it, he even ate some of his victims."
Shuddering, you glance over your shoulder to look at Sam. He sat in the back of the Impala to catch up on his sleep. Dean quickly asked that you sit next to him in the front.
"Cool, we have a cannibalistic ghost on our hands now. Great," you tell him sarcastically.
"You'll be fine," Dean told you as he pulled into the motel parking lot. Shutting off the car, he looked over to see you were still nervous. With smooth movements, he gently grasped your hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"Sammy and I, we're here for you. Don't you forget that."
You kept repeating that in your head as the three of you encountered Franklin in his bedroom.
He had just captured his latest prey from a nearby campsite. You found him hovering over the girl's limp form with a knife in his hand.
Chunks of the poor soul were already gone. Franklin raised his weapon to grab another handful until Sam opened fire. The ghost disappeared, but you all knew it would be back.
You rushed to the girl's side as the brothers started searching the tiny house for something Franklin would be attached to. Your hands fumbled over her throat as you checked for certain marks around her neck.
Bruises in the shape of a chain rested on the skin all around her neck.
"He's got the chain!" You shout to the brothers.
In the report, Franklin used a welded chain to choke out his victims. Police never found said chain, but they suspected it was somewhere near the house. Guess the ghost got it back.
As a hunter, all three of you concluded that Franklin was connected to the linked metal, and that's what was keeping him here.
You could hear noises come from the other rooms, alerting you that the men were trying to draw out Franklin. You knew it wouldn't work.
Just saying considering he was standing right in front of you.
With a roar, Franklin outstretched his arms, his face red as a tomato. Using your reflexes, you ducked under his flailing limbs and aimed for his ribs. The dead farmer howled in pain as the iron contacted his... Well, disembodied spirit.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" He screamed, spinning around to make eye contact with you.
"Y/N?" Both Dean and Sam cried out at the same time. Footsteps rang through the tiny shack as they ran towards the room you were in. Franklin expected this immediately.
Just as the boys were going to come to your rescue, the bedroom door slam shut. A series of items flew in front of it, preventing any entrance. Cries of anguish could be heard from the other side as the Winchester brothers fought to break down the wooden slab.
Franklin turned around with a devilish grin on his face.
"Just you and me now, darling," he croaked out, quickly flashing forward.
"Hang on in there!" Dean shouted at the door. With another heave, he slammed himself against the thick object.
Pain shot through his nerves as he bounced off the slab. A hiss unconsciously left him as he tried again and again.
"We need to find the chain," Sam told his brother, grabbing him by the wrist. His fingers brushed against a warm metal, surprising him greatly. Instead of commenting on it, the youngest Winchester dragged him away.
The two rummaged through the shack, searching for anything that resembled the supposed murder weapon.
"It's not even here, goddammit!" Dean soon screamed, tossing a table across the room. The wood smashed against the wall, just another noise compared to the screeching in the other room. Without another word, he grabbed his .45 and shot at the door.
The bullets embedded themselves in the wood as he fired repeatedly. It wasn't until the soft clicking of the gun told him he ran out of bullets.
"Dean," Sam suddenly caught his attention. "Can you hear that?" Dean sent him a nasty look but listened quietly.
Over the sounds of angry bellowing and broken items, the boys heard you shouting. At first, it made Dean's heart clench until he connected the cries.
"Guys!" A loud crash. "Get the-" There was the sound of glass breaking. It made a horrible noise as it landed on the floor. "Necklace! Find it!"
A loud thump resonated against the door. The brothers knew what Franklin was doing to you. It only made them react faster.
"I think I saw a necklace in the other room!" Sam told his brother.
Not sparing a second, Dean pushed him out of the way and ran down the hallway. The room was a mess from its previous search. A glint of gray caught his eye as he looked over the floor.
"Start a fire, Sam," the hunter demanded as he grabbed the dainty chain. He heard the floorboards being ripped up as he too fumbled for his salt stash. They couldn't stop now. They were so close.
The smell of smoke caught Dean's attention. He looked at the growing bonfire with fury as he fisted the necklace.
"Die you son of a bitch!" He grunted before tossing the jewelry.
You couldn't find the will to scream anymore. It seemed impossible.
Franklin had just finished tossing you around like a rag doll and went in for the kill.
Moonlight flooded the room from the broken window as he hunched over you. His necklace glinted in the light as he leaned in close.
"Guess you're all alone now," he taunted, raising his blade dramatically. Just as he was about to bring it down, it fell out of his grip.
The ghost screamed in pain as he went up in flames. The knife fell beside your head as you looked towards the door.
"Y/N?" One of the boys called out. "You safe?"
Unable to respond, you watch as the door suddenly slammed open, knocking over things that were previously blocking it.
Dean ran in first with Sam right on his heels, his shotgun at the ready for the first sight of danger. He threw it to the side once he saw you were alone and rushed to your side.
"We should have never let you come with us," he told you quietly as he pulled you into his lap. "It wasn't worth it. Almost losing you."
With a cheeky smile, you half-heartedly smacked him in the chest. "I'm glad," you whispered, finding it hard to talk. Screaming took a lot out of you.
"If it wasn't for me, it would've taken you forever to find the necklace. Then you boys would look worse than me." The pain was slowly lulling you to sleep. It was so strong, you closed your eyes.
Dean smiled weakly. He can't help but press a kiss to your forehead. His eyes widened at his action but didn't pull away.
"You missed," you whispered quietly. The hunter barely caught the words, but they were too quiet to fully comprehend.
"What was that?" He asked. But you had already fallen asleep.
"It hurts Sammy," was the first thing you heard.
You tried turning towards the sound of the voice, but it was hard. Your bones felt stiff and your muscles ached with every movement. For now, you settled to listening to the voices.
"What does Dean?" Asked Sammy. The floors creaked as a heavyweight sunk into the bed you rested on.
"Every time I look at her, I can feel this... This indescribable pain in my chest. My head feels heavy and so does my heart. I can't breathe knowing she's like this."
A rough hand took yours and squeezed it gently. The course fingers and smooth palm let you know exactly which Winchester was holding you.
"Dean, it's only been a day. She'll wake up before you know it," Sam tried to console his brother.
"It might have been just a day, but a day is all you need to lose someone," Dean replied softly.
The brothers sigh. By now, you know that the two of them are shaking their heads hoping you won't succumb to their darkest thoughts. You would be okay.
Silence filled the room like a thick fog.
Neither Dean nor Sam made a noise. The only thing that alerted you of their continuous presence was the older Winchester's soothing grip.
Sam found the stillness to be rather deafening. Slowly clearing his throat, the hunter excused himself from his brother, quickly stating that he needed to pick up groceries before leaving. Soon it was just you and Dean.
You found your muscles slowly unclenching as you focused on Dean's touch.
"You don't know how badly I want to call you stupid Y/N," the hunter mumbled. "But I can't. Because I know your reasons were honest, and I appreciate that."
His breaths came out sharply as he tried gasping for air.
"I don't know what you've been doing to me but it's killing me to see you this way. I've..." The Winchester wheezed as the grip on your hand tightened. It quickly released once it grew too painful.
"It's hard to pretend I'm strong and all that when you're here, reminding me I could've done something. Something that would have prevented this. And I didn't."
Dean goes into a rant, complaining that it was his fault he let you join him and his brother and how he was an idiot to let himself get so close to you. It broke your heart to hear him put himself down, but it also brought you small hope.
He cared much more than he let on.
Ending his tirade, Dean sighed as he gave your hand a last squeeze before letting go. "I got to grab some things from Baby. Be right back."
Warm breath gently fanned your face, throwing you off for a second. Then it hit you.
Dean's lips pressed themselves against your forehead. They lingered a second longer than he liked, but you didn't mind. Pulling away, you repeated the words you told him a night ago.
"You missed," you mumbled cheekily, opening your eyes to little slits. You watch as Dean looked at you with a frozen expression, unsure what to do now.
"Y-you're... You're awake!" He stuttered. "You didn't- You were sleeping the entire time, right?"
"You missed Winchester," you repeat, ignoring his question. "How many times are you going to miss?"
"W-what?" Dean asked, still taken aback of your sudden awakening.
Rolling your eyes, you struggle to sit up. Seeing this, the hunter made a move to help you, but you pause. With a small grunt, you prop yourself against the headboard before looking up at Dean.
"These," you gesture, tapping your mouth, "are my lips. Do I need to put a sign so you don't miss them?"
Dean still looks confused, making you roll your eyes and grabbing the collar of his coat. Pulling him down, you slam your mouth against his.
At first, the hunter's unsure at the sudden contact. Seeing that he hadn't yet responded, you go to pull away until he had gently cupped your face and returned the favor.
The strong taste of whiskey filled your mouth as Dean softly kissed you back. Things grew heated as you tugged at him to pull off his jacket. He slowly pulled back with a chuckle.
"Calm down, you feisty thing," Dean teased. "You're still healing. Can't risk you hurting yourself again."
He presses another kiss to your forehead as he smirked cheekily. "You'll be the death of me, Winchester," you told him, leaning back into the motel bedsheets.
"I could say the same about you, babe," he replied.
Coming to you soon...
IMAGINE: On nights like these, private NCIS agent Gibbs would rather be down in his basement working on a project. He wasn’t one to go out to bars or spend all night playing some game online like his coworkers. Tonight, however, thanks to a bit of liquid courage, you show him another way to enjoy the night. WORD COUNT: 767 WARNINGS: Fluff with our favorite hard ass agent, mentions of heavy alcohol intake
Gibbs can’t think of the last time he felt this content. There were moments he’d prefer to hide in his dimly lit basement; working on his projects and sipping on his bourbon.
This time he was in the kitchen, leaning against the counter sipping on tepid coffee he found lying around. It would’ve been a shame to let it go to waste.
Unfamiliar music played softly in the background, tempting him to shut it off, to enjoy the silence. But from past experience, Gibbs knew that if even tried shutting it off, he wouldn’t live to see tomorrow. Instead, he settled for enjoying his rapidly cooling caffeine boost, successfully hiding his grin behind his mug.
There weren’t many things that could convince him to ignore urges like that; his coworkers could count on one hand what could.
“Are you just going to stand there all night or are you going to join me?” You teased from across the room, slowly swaying along to the music.
Not even Tony would ever guess that his stone-faced boss would ever be put in his place by a lover.
“I’m fine with just enjoying the show,” Gibbs replied.
“You’re no fun, Jethro,” you pouted. Before he could say anything, you swiped up your own mug from the kitchen table, loudly drinking down the contents. You pulled away with a whine, signaling you finished it sooner than you liked.
“Is that from that bottle Tobias tried bribing me with?” Your boyfriend questioned. “I thought he knew better than that.”
He pointed to the dark bottle left on the table, squinting to see how much was left in it.
“Honey.” It wasn’t often that Jethro used pet names, so this sudden use caught you off guard. “That damn thing is almost empty, I think you’ve had enough.”
Maybe that was true. On your second glass, you had spilled some wine on your shirt, prompting you to replace it with one of the oversized navy sweatshirts Jethro kept around. He had yet to comment about you stealing his shirt, but based on his smirk, he didn’t mind.
“Finish it with me then,” you pleaded.
“I’ll stick with my joe,” he assured, lifting his mug to prove it.
Rolling your eyes, you reach for the wine bottle, almost knocking it off the table. It didn’t click in your head how fast Jethro moved; first, he was next to the fridge and now he was by your side holding the bottle you had almost knocked to the floor.
“Thank you for proving my point,” he grumbled, begrudgingly pressing a kiss to your forehead before looking around for a stopper.
“I was gonna put it away,” you grumbled back.
You paid no mind to Jethro’s complaints, choosing instead to slide across the kitchen floor in time with the music. Your sock covered feet drifted smoothly against the linoleum tiling, sending you into the counter that your boyfriend previously occupied. Unfazed by the crash, you gracefully take a seat on said counter, ignoring the fact you almost fell over attempting to do so.
“Don’t go too crazy there, I’d rather have you in one piece,” Jethro chided. He kept an eye on you as he stuck the bottle in the fridge. Before he could even shut the door properly, you started tugging on his shirt, silently begging him to come closer.
“What are you doing, huh?” He asked.
“I wanna dance,” you mumbled.
“You want to dance?” Jethro repeated. He didn’t bother hiding back a smile this time as he watched you thumb the buttons on his collar. “May I remind you you’re pretty drunk at the moment? Do you think you’re up for the job?”
Eager to prove him wrong, you hop down from the counter (With Gibbs subtly steadying you) and pull him close.
“Oh, this means you want to dance with me?” He asked cheekily.
At this point the music became a softer tune, encouraging Jethro to join you. What else could he do but oblige?
The two of you began to sway, holding each other close. Neither of you spoke, choosing to simply lean into the other and enjoy the moment.
Gibbs couldn’t think of the last time he felt this content. Having you here in his arms, not having to worry about Tony and Ziva bickering like children or Timothy getting picked on by said agents. He could just relax in the privacy of his own home with you.
“Thank you,” he whispered in your ear.
“For what?” You drowsily teased, feeling the effects of the alcohol slowing hitting you.
“For being you.”
