"No dogs allowed." The cashier at the motel told Aria.
"My girlfriend, Marie, she's blind." Sam handed him a fake certificate that he had gotten for her. The cashier looked at it for a few seconds, and then looked back at Aria. She gazed off into space, grasping Alaska's leash.
"Alright. Just make sure you clean up after it." She sighed. Sam thanked her, and took the keys to the rooms. He had gotten two rooms; one for Aria, and one for him and Dean. He handed her one, and pretended to lead her outside. They burst out laughing as they left, and walked into my room. She tossed her bags on the bed, and Alaska's dog bowls on the table.
"It's late, you should go to sleep, get some rest." He smiled at her.
Dean was already in the next room, stuffing a burger into his mouth from McDonalds, his favorite burger place. He sipped his chocolate milkshake.
"You're going to have a heart attack when your 40." Sam said, slamming the door behind him.
"I make up for it in killing stuff." He smiled with a mouthful of food. "Is she settled in?"
"Yeah." Sam pulled his shirt off, and threw it in his bag. He slid on pajama pants.
"So, is there a job, or are we just heading through?" Dean asked, as he finished his burger.
"It's probably a vampire or a wraith. Remember how the last wraith we dealt with was as the mental hospital?" Dean nodded. "Well now, conveniently, it's a school for the blind."
"Tell me how that is convenient."
"Aria… she has a blind certificate. I'm her husband, you're her brother."
"Yeah, that could work. But what if they question her? She hasn't been blind for that long. She's not all that good at it." Dean smiled.
"Well that's why she's newly blind." Sam shrugged. He slid down on the bed. "We'll talk about this in the morning." He yawned, and fell asleep quickly.
Dean screwed around on the computer, and enrolled Aria in the blind school. He Googled what it was. Apparently, they learned braille and how to interact with seeing people, how to train a seeing dog. He sighed, and shut the computer. He pulled off his shirt, and didn't bother removing his jeans. He tossed and turned for a little while, until he finally got up, and went outside. He fed a dollar into the soda machine, and received an orange soda.
"Can't sleep?" Dean turned around, and sighed in relief. Aria stood there in a tank top and shorts.
"You too? I barely get 10 hours of sleep a week, so I can't really afford it now." He smirked.
She giggled. He handed her his soda, and got another one. "Do you like me?" She asked.
"Well, I wouldn't say that I trust you one hundred percent, but you seem okay, I guess." He shrugged. She nodded, and opened the can of soda. "Do you like me?" He asked.
"Yeah. Your cool." She shrugged. He moved closer to her, brushing his hand against her arm. He leaned in, but she backed away. "Dean…"
"What?" He asked.
"You know that Sam likes me, and I bet you know that I like him too. Dean, you're a great guy, and I realize that Sam gets a lot of his skills and his charm from you, but you two are so different. And I pick him." She turned around, and ran back into her motel room. She crashed down on her bed. Exhausted, she fell asleep.
When Sam woke up almost before dawn, he was starving. He hadn't eaten last night. He knocked on Aria's door, and when she didn't answer, he picked the lock. He watched Aria as she slept so peacefully. There was a soda can on the nightstand. He lay down next to her, and wrapped his arms around her. When Jess and Madison died, he promised himself he would never date. But when he met Amelia, he couldn't leave her alone. But it turned out wrong, and he left. But with Aria… it was different. He could tell that it was going to work out with her. She moaned, and nestled her back against him. "Morning…" He kissed her messy head.
"Morning." She giggled back. She turned and faced him. He kissed her, and slid his warm hands on her neck.
"I have to tell you something. Dean and I need you for our job…" He grins.
"Ooh, what do I have to do?" She smiles at him.
"Pretend you're blind and enroll in a braille school." His thumb brushed her arm back and forth.
"What?!" She exclaimed, sitting up. Sam put his finger against his mouth, and soothed her some more.
"That's all you have to do… I promise, no fighting." He smiled.
"The fighting was what I wanted to do!" She flipped Sam over, and squeezed her legs in between his. She kissed him in between laughs.
"You don't mean that. Fighting is the worst part." He caressed her face, and brushed her hair back.
"Whoa… sorry for interrupting." They looked toward the door. Dean stood at the door, and started to leave. Aria flipped over.
"Wait, Dean. What's up?" She asked.
"We have to go. Our meeting with the braille school is in a half hour." He pulled the covers off of them, and Aria started to shiver. Sam wrapped his body around her, enveloping her in warmth. "Blech." Dean grunted. "Let's go. Move it." He threw Sam's shirt and jeans at him, making him get up reluctantly.
"Ever since the accident, Carrie hasn't been able to read her favorite books. She's been so depressed, and I think that if she could read something other than the audio books, than it will help." Sam held Aria's hand from the seat next to her.
"Marcus, I don't need to learn braille!" Aria exclaimed, putting on a good act. She was wearing extremely dark sunglasses that even Batman couldn't see through.
"So why do you need boarding if you live a few miles away?" The lady asked.
"Well, my brother in law can't handle her, and doesn't want her to stay with me." Dean sighed.
She sighed. "Okay. I'll hand you over to my secretary, who will get the prices worked out, and we can have your room ready by tomorrow." She placed her hand on Aria, who smiled lightly.
They walked out of the blind school with Aria's arm linked with Sam's. Dean opened the passenger door, and Sam crawled in the back. "We're in." Dean smiled, driving away.
