AN: I would quickly like to state that this first started as an RP on Omegle, but I disconnected from the RP-er and never found them again. The first there chapter will mostly be copy and pasted from the chat but if I continue beyond that it will be all my own work. I also would like to state I do not own any characters unless otherwise stated, all characters belong to The CW's show Supernatural.
Mary was walking down the hallway, by herself, on her birthday. It didn't bother her too much since she knew in an hour she'd be free to go do whatever she wanted… well until her Dad needed her. But today was Mary's 18th birthday and she spotted John's black Impala parked outside of the school, John messing with the radio. It wasn't normal for him to show up at the High School since he graduated last year.
Mary made her way out of a side door by the school, not wanting to get caught sneaking out since it would result in a detention and she didn't need one of those. Not if she was going to try to get into a good college after High School.
Mary's caramel colored ankle boots clicked as she quickly made her way across the parking lot towards the Impala. She knocked on the passenger side window which caused John to whip is head around. When he saw Mary, his face softened and he leaned over and rolled down the window as fast as his arm would let him.
"Hey John." Mary said gently with a small wave, the two had been dating for little over a year but Mary would still get butterflies when talking to John. "What are you doing here?"
"Just here to bring my birthday girl some lunch." John said teasingly. "Or take her out to lunch is what I meant."
" John, I can't just leave school right now. I still have class after lunch." Mary said as she leaned against the passenger side window of her boyfriend's car, green eyes staring him down.
"Please Mar, just this once? I'll get you back in… 5 mintues. Please?" John pleaded with Mary, sorrow slowly growing in his blue eyes as he looked at his girlfriend.
Mary peered back at the school which she didn't really want to go back in to. "5 minutes? You promise?"
John nodded, "Only 5 minutes." Anticipation grew in John's eyes, was Mary actually going to agree to come with?
Despite her fear of missing class, was pushing back an excited smile as she slipped into the car. She shut the door behind her and buckled her seat belt quickly, enjoying the rock music softly playing through the speakers and grinning over at John.
"This better be worth it." she teased.
"Oh trust me Mary, it will be." John put the car in drive and pulled out of the school parking lot and drove down the road towards the little town they lived in.
Mary scooted forward a bit in her seat, pushing strands of golden blonde hair over her shoulder, eyes alight with anticipation and trees began to blur as they passed. Mary considered the situation, trying to guess where he could possibly be bringing her.
John took one his hands off the steering wheel and placed it on Mary's delicate hand which was placed on the bucket seat between them. Mary's smile grew slightly shy at John's actions, though she was obviously quite happy in the moment as she laced their fingers together, intertwined as they drove in near-silence.
John kept driving, passing through the center of town. Maybe he lied slightly when he said it would only take 5 minutes. "So Mar, how's your day been?" John glanced over at Mary, his blue eyes studying the profile of her face.
Mary smiled over at him, gave a little shrug. "Alright. Full of exams." she admitted with a little sigh, squeezing his hand lightly. "It's nice to get away."
"You didn't have any exams this afternoon did you?" John asked slightly worried he was going to take her away from passing with all A's like he knew she wanted to.
Mary shook her head no, she was done with them for the day. It which was one of the more significant reasons she wasn't going to kick and scream at him once she noticed John was obviously taking her somewhere farther away than the five minutes he promised. "No, none this afternoon." she confirmed, smiling again as she peered out ahead of them, enjoying the view. "How was your day, John?" she asked.
John let out a sigh of relief when he heard Mary didn't have any more exams. "It could have been better; some people just don't understand I'm not a car magician."
She gave out a quiet giggle, and nodded. Mary knew his job could be pretty stressful, having to deal with people all day, and she tried to keep his mind from it if she could. "They should be lucky they have such a good mechanic on their side." Mary insisted with a smile that showed her pearly white teeth.
"If only I was one." John rolled his eyes at Mary's comment, he wasn't near being a good mechanic but it was what got him by. He reached over and turned the radio up slight, making sure it wasn't too loud so that if either of them wanted to talk they didn't have to yell.
Mary let her eyes wander over to the window to watch the landscape fly by, becoming a bit mesmerized by the beauty of it all. John and Mary's fingers still lay laced together on the seat between them, neither daring, or wanting to move them.
John slowed the car down when they came to a little clearing in a small patch of forest. He leaned over and put his hands over Mary's eyes only to pull them away a few seconds later. "Suprise!" John yelled letting Mary take in the small like meadow like area he had brought her to.
A grin spread across her lips as she examined the clearing for just a moment before slipping out of the passenger side, walking rather gracefully to the center of the grassy circle of forest, doing a few spins to take in the blue sky and giggling as she swooped and sat on the ground. She stopped to peer over at John. "It's real pretty out here."
"Just like you." John winked at Mary before walking to the back of the car and opening up the trunk.
He picked up a small blanket and some food he had packed for the both of them and brought them over to where Mary had sat down. Mary's eyes watched John as all this happened. The blanket fabric fluttered softly to the ground before John placed the food in the center.
"John." Mary uttered with a grin, reaching over to squeeze his hand as she moved over onto the blanket. Delicately pulling her legs to the side since she was wearing a skirt. "Than you. This is amazing." She appraised.
"Oh, no problem." John smiled. "Anything for the Birthday Girl." John was happy that he could please Mary even though he hadn't given her an extremely expensive gift.
Mary too a few things from the basket of food which John had set down, she pulled out two sandwiches. One for herself, and one for John and placed them both on paper plates which John had also brought with.
Mary's eyes flicked up to John's, her head tilted to the side a bit. "So, it is a Friday, after all… we could make plans for tonight." Mary suggested, smiling at John as she tucked one of her loose curls behind her ear.
John took a bite of his food before answering Mary. "Well, what if I already made plans."
Mary's face dropped thinking John meant he had made plans with someone else.
"What was that face for Mary?" John chuckled. "What, you don't want to spend a whole day with me?" John wrapped an arm around Mary, wanting to be as close to her as possible.
Mary pressed against him, still holding his hand, looking excited at the proposition of plans as she squinted against the bright sunlight.
"No I do..I just, nevermind." Mary's face became flush. "What are your plans?" she asked curiously, letting her eyes drift over to him. She knew it was unlikely he would tell her a thing, rather make it a surprise, but had decided to try nonetheless.
"Well..." John said debating whether he should tell Mary his plans or not. "I have a few things planned I still have to decide which one I think you'd like to do most."
Mary placed a kiss on his cheek, enjoying the slight stubble there, and peered up at him where she was tucked snugly beneath his arm "Well, I'm sure I'll enjoy myself either way. I'll be with you." she assured him confidently, the sun shining warmly down on them, though not quite enough to make them uncomfortable.
John thought to himself for a while about what he and Mary should do, he drew a blank. "Mar." He said drawing her attention to him once again. "What do you really want to do? I'll let you choose tonight."
She raised an eyebrow, as she was not used to be able choosing what they were to do. Mary could shamelessly admit that she loved his nickname for her, and it still curved her lips up into a smile every time she heard it.
"Well, we could always sit around, watch some movies." Mary paused, and nudged him gently in the side, teasing. "I don't think we're up for any clubs tonight."
John let out a small chuckle. "Whatever makes you happy, I'll do it." John kissed the top of Mary's head waiting for her to make a final decision.
"Yes. We can just sit around. Maybe go on a walk when the stars start to come out." she decided, the thought putting another smile on her face, and she peered up at him questioningly.
Mary nudged his neck with her nose, burying her face in it for a second and enjoying his barely-there cologne and the smell of car oil, before looking up at him again. "Sorry, I'm a bit of a romantic." she apologized with a little laugh.
"No, don't apologize Mary. That actually sounds perfect." John gave her a small smile before leaning back and lying down on the blanket, his fingers still intertwined with hers.
Mary gave out a little sigh of relief before allowing herself to be tugged down onto the blanket by John, squeezing his hand and curling up next to him, grinning, squinting slightly as the sunlight directed at her face. "Does it?" Mary asked hopefully.
"Yes, perfect. Just like you." John kissed the end of Mary's nose causing her to squirm away slight before John pulled her back close to him. He was happy Mary decided to do something that wouldn't take a lot of effort. He never really liked doing big things but never knew she didn't enjoy it either.
Mary had a slight, rosy blush on her cheeks at his appraisal, planting a lighthearted kiss on his shoulder as her gaze drifted over to where he lay next to her. "We can put on some records, lay back... It'll be nice. Relaxing." she said almost dreamily, grinning.
John squeezed Mary's side, "That sounds perfect." He said again, relaxing where he was lying not wanting to get up just yet.
A few more minutes passed, both of them splayed over the red and white checkered blanket, the sun warming their bodies which were quite closely pressed together.
"Can we just stay here forever?" Mary asked quietly, in a near-whisper, sounding dreamy and a bit lazy with the warmness and the blissful feeling of the man she loved laying beside her.
John smiled, pulling Mary closer to him. "I'd like that, but before your school closes I'll have to go and explain why you weren't in class."
Mary turned around so she was facing him and buried her face in his chest, breathing in the scent once again and running the fabric of his shirt between her fingers. Her eyes peered up at him, and she gave a soft smile.
"What would you say?" she asked quietly, curiously.
"Well, I could say I needed to see my girlfriend on her birthday." John said with a small laugh. "No, I'll probably tell them you had to umm..." He thought for a minute. "Go to the dentist and your parents couldn't bring you so I had to."
She nodded, surprised at herself when she replied with an ease. "Sure, why not". It wasn't usually like her to skip class, but it was her birthday. And it was far too blissful of a moment to interrupt. "Do we have to drive back to the school, then?" Mary asked, still playing with the hem of his shirt, blinking up at him.
"Not yet, we still have a half an hour." John wrapped one her perfect curls, which she had obviously spent so much time on the morning, around his finger.
"Good." she replied simply, smiling softly at the way he twirled her golden hair around his finger, leaning into him, giving a happy sigh that was just under her breath.
John didn't try to make much conversation after that, he was too busy enjoying the fact it was just him and Mary for once without anyone bothering them. His breathing slowed as he breathed in the smell of Mary as she rested her head on his chest trying to get closer to him. She didn't wear perfume but he still couldn't get enough of her, whatever it was she smelled like, he enjoyed it. Mary's small fingers gently traced circles on the back of John's beat up hands.
John tried to pull Mary closer even though there wasn't any space between them; they'd been laying in silence for twenty minutes just taking in each other and the beauty around them. "Happy Birthday Mar, only a few more months and then your out of school." He squeezed her hand, happy they could start a bigger life together soon.
Mary grinned, and nodded enthusiastically, responding with a light squeeze back. "I'm excited." Mary admitted, though it was obvious by the happy expression all over her face. "I'll finally be free. And we'll be together, left to ourselves..." she trailed off with a distinctly peaceful sigh, placing a brief kiss on his lips before pulling back to watch him. "Just a few more months." she repeated back to him in a whisper.
John's memory brought him back to reality; he got the letter yesterday that he was to become a Marine in Vietnam. He wasn't really in the mood to tell Mary right now and ruin this perfect moment so he kept to himself. "Just a few more." He whispered into her soft hair, it getting stuck to his damp, yet cracked lips, but he didn't really care.
With a little, pleased giggle, Mary squeezed his hand once again and straightened herself out just a bit. "What now?" she asked a bit distantly, looking into his eyes, head tilted just a bit, the way it did when she was asking any kind of question.
"Well," John looked at his watch. "We should stop by your school quick, they're gonna close up in 5 minutes. We will have to take a shortcut to get there." John let a small grin play across his face as he got up and folded the blanket they had been laying on and stuffed it in the basket before throwing it in the back of the Impala and getting in the drivers seat.
Mary nodded, giving him a little wink as she helped throw a few things into the trunk as well, pulling her slightly flowy skirt down with chaste. "Don't worry, going a little over the speed limit won't hurt." she insisted, slipping into the passenger seat. He loved the car, the sleek black paint and the roar of the engine nearly sent adrenaline through her. She smiled wide over at John, feeling happy to get out of the second half of school for once.
