Chapter 1: Clueless

It was an extremely long day, to say the least. Sam and Sage were coming back from hours of investigating, while Dean was on research duty. Hopefully he was more successful, since more then half the people they interviewed were either too upset to speak or didn't give a shit. With the hope of walking into the motel room with great news, Sage was instead horrified at what she saw. Dean was lying on her bed naked with a piece of the blanket covering his lower half, while a woman was crooked underneath his arm sleeping soundly. He awoke to the sound of the door and an extremely angry looking hunter before him.

"You have got to be kidding me Dean"

Sam glanced at Sage and noticed that she was not only angry but devastated. There have been numerous times when Sage has caught Dean in the act but she normally just shrugged it off. This time was completely different and it was at this moment when he realized her true feelings towards his older brother.

Confused, Dean slithered out of bed with the blanket wrapped around his waist, "What?"

It took every ounce of strength to not break down and cry. She had to say something before her eyes glazed over in tears, "I cant even look at you right now" Her lip quivered while giving Dean one last glance before bolting out the door.

Now concerned, Dean quickly put on a pair of boxers and ushered the woman out of the motel room giving her money for a cab to take home. When she finally left, Dean turned to his disappointed little brother, "Dude, whats with her? Was your day really that bad?"

"You really have no idea why she is so upset?"

"No I dont"

Sam threw his arms up in frustration, "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you had sex in her bed! I mean Dean, come on show a bit of respect"

"She has never had a problem when you have done it"

"Thats because it was always on my bed! Besides its you, Dean"

"Whats that supposed to mean?"

"Oh come on, get your head out of your ass. She likes you and you her"

"What are you talking about? Thats insane"

"I dont think it is. How come every time we are on a hunt you are insanely protective of her?"

"So are you!"

"Okay, fine. How about every time she isn't with us you worry? Or when we go to a bar and she flirts with another guy you get angry?"

Dean didn't utter a word realizing that everything Sammy said was true,"You cant deny it, can you? So why don't you stop being a jerk and let her know how you feel."

"Okay Sam, I get it"

"I really hope you do Dean because one day she is going to walk out that door and not come back"

Its been hours since she left and its been hours since Dean has been able to breathe properly. Sam couldn't have been more right, every single time she wasn't with him he just wouldn't be the same. His anxiety would be through the roof and his temper would flare at the most minuscule things. He looked at his watch again in utter frustration, if she doesn't come back within the next hour he is going to look for her.

Luckily a half hour later she stumbled into the hotel room with a disheveled man behind her. She was obviously drunk barely able to take her shoes off, while the guy inappropriately grabbed her butt with his greasy hands. Deans face grew hot with anger and jealousy, he watched the two of them intently from her bed which was on the far side of the hotel room.

After much struggle she finally got her boots off, no thanks to him, Dean muttered to himself. Within moments she was wrapped in his filthy hands, their mouths violently smacking against each other. It was in this moment where Dean realized how much he loved her, the sight of any man being intimate with her enraged him beyond belief. He quickly walked over to the two of them and released her from his grip, "Okay buddy take a hike"

"Who the hell are you?"

Steadily leaning Sage against the wall he motioned towards the door, " " He shoved the guy out into the parking lot which was quite easy considering how wasted he was, "Oh and if you ever come near her again, I guarantee I wont let you off as easily as I did this time"

He closed the door silently and made his way over to Sage who was now lying on the floor unconscious. Sliding one arm underneath her knees and the other on her back, he lifted her up from the ground and placed her gently on the bed. Her hair was a complete mess and her clothes were quite dirty, but Dean thought she was nothing short of beautiful. Truth is he has always taken a liking to Sage, since the first day he laid eyes on her. She was breathtakingly stunning and her personality was even more charming. A woman who would be the perfect match for Dean, a woman whom he hoped would forgive him.
