*Leah's POV*
Walking around the hallways after dinner, I found myself going to Dean's room and looking for him. I see that his door is open and I look in to see only Cody in the room. I knock softly and see him look up from his laptop.
"Hey, Leah." He says. "How can I help you?"
"Is Dean here?" I asked softly.
"No, he went out to get something. He texted me a few minutes ago saying that he was five minutes away, so he should be here soon." Cody replied.
"Oh, okay." I say as I awkwardly stand there, looking around.
Cody looks at me again, but this time, with a bit of an annoyed look. "Do you want to come in and wait for him?"
"Yes, please." Said someone else. I looked around and saw Dean leaning against the wall with a smile on his face.
"Dean." I happily say with a smile say as I walk up to him and feel his arms circle my waist when I do.
He picks me up and gives me a kiss as I wrap my arms around his neck. I giggle softly against his lips before he puts me down and pulls away. I see that smile of his that shows those adorable dimples and I can't help but give him a smile of my own.
"I went to buy some ice cream and surprise you with it." He says, keeping me in his arms.
"What kind of ice cream?" I ask.
"Your favorite." He says. "Vanilla flavored Haagen Dazs ice cream."
I give him a big smile. "You know me so well."
Dean chuckled and gave me another kiss. He went into his room, greeted Cody and grabbed two spoons before coming back out and grabbing my hand, intertwining our fingers together as we walked to the cafeteria. Finding our usual table, we sat across from each other and began to share our ice cream as we talk about our day.
"I heard that Anna and Cody broke up." I tell Dean softly. "Have you heard why?"
"I heard that too and as for the reason...um, that's why he would always want me to go help him out." Dean said as he was playing with his spoon.
Looking up at him, I became curious as to why. "Is it safe to tell me now that they broke up?"
"Cody, well he believed that Anna was cheating on him." He says to me. "He said that one of his friends told him that they saw her with someone else and when he tok the time to put everything together, he realized that they were telling him the truth."
"And why didn't he just break up with her then, or confront her about it?" I asked.
"That's what I asked him." Dean says. "Cody says that he didn't want to let her go and that he wanted to try to keep her."
I made a face and took another bite of ice cream. "And what the hell did all of that have to do with you? Why did you have to get involved in all of it?"
"At first, I was trying to be a good friend. But when I saw that he was starting to drag it on and not do what he should have done, things got out of control." He says softly. "To the point where it began to interfere with us."
"Why didn't you just tell me, Dean?" I asked him. "I would have understood so much better if I would have just known."
"He didn't want anyone to know." Dean says.
"And what is Cody going to tell people when they ask him why they broke up?" I asked. "That it wasn't working out to avoid telling people that he was being cheated on?"
"I don't know." He managed to say after a few moments.
I saw something flash across his eyes and his face that I have seen in him before, but I wasn't sure exactly what it was.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing." Dean says when he looks up.
He runs his hands through his hair, messing it up a bit. Though he obviously didn't care much for how his hair looked and I loved it the way it was. I always have.
"The good thing is that it's over with now." Dean continues. "We can focus completely on us and making sure that we get better and that we're there for each other through everything. The good and bad times."
"You're upset." I say.
"No, I'm not, Leah." Dean tells me.
I look at him. "Yes, you are. I can see it in your face."
"Leah, I'm not upset." He says.
"Then talk to me." I tell him.
Dean sighs and looks at me. "For once, I want to spend a day and night without us arguing about anything like it used to be with us. Is that all we're going to do when it comes to Cody and anything that has to do with what happened? Argue? Say things that will make us feel like shit every time we do?"
"I'm not trying to argue." I say. "I'm just trying to understand why it all happened."
"What am I supposed to say, Leah?" He asks me with a hint of him begging in his voice. "I was trying to be a good friend, but I've already told you that before. You don't want to hear it. I tried to tell him to not drag this on because I didn't like keeping things from you and I never will. I'm trying to make things up to you and I'm trying to deal with everything too and I just, I don't know."
Dean starts to go on about it and I just lean over the table, grab his face and I gave him a kiss. His lips began to move against mine as he relaxed and I felt his hands cup my face. When I pull away, the kiss leaving us both breathless, Dean blinked a few times.
"You were saying?" He asked.
I laughed softly before we shared another kiss. He groaned when I pulled away again and I knew he wanted the kiss to go longer and for it to turn into more. We were both frustrated when it came to that department, but we would have to wait just a bit longer before anything fully happened.
"I don't want us to argue either." I tell him softly. "I love when we're both happy and okay."
"I do, too." Dean tells me. "I want us to get better. I miss you."
Feeling a lump in my throat, I get up and sit next to him. "I miss you, too. I want us to get better and we will. We just have to think positive and take it a step at a time. You and I have each other."
"And I want to stay with you by my side." He says to me. "I really love you, Leah."
"I love you, too." I reply with a smile.
*Dean's POV*
After getting back to my room, Cody said that he was going to go out with some of his friends, and so I took the opportunity to enjoy the quiet until I decided that I couldn't wait until tomorrow to hear Leah's voice again.
"Dean, you're silly." Leah said as she laughed on the other end as I told her a joke over the phone.
"You have a cute laugh." I tell her with a soft chuckle.
"Thank you." She says sweetly with the sound of a smile in her voice. "So the year's almost over. What are we going to do for the summer?"
I thought for a moment. "I don't know. If I'm able to keep the job I have now, I could try to change my hours so that I'm working during the morning instead of the afternoons like I am now. When school starts back up again, I could try to change it back to after school so that I could have my classes in the morning."
"Where are we going to stay?" She asks. "I know how much you miss Roman and how you want to hang out with your best friend again."
"Yes, but I want us to save up some money too for a place of our own and for our wedding." I say with a smile.
"If you're able to work for the summer, how about he just comes down here with Jimmy and Jey, that way we can all still see each other and hang out?" Leah asks.
Thinking for a moment, it didn't sound like that bad of an idea. "True. He and the twins are already going to be here in Florida anyways for the summer. We could give it a try. I'll talk to him about it and see what he says. That way, it could be a bit easier for us to save up some money, if we put in a little something towards whatever it is that we agree to help pay."
"And we'll spend a lot of time together?" She asks with curiosity.
"Yes, and I'm going to enjoy spending time with my girl." I say with a smile at the thought of it. "You're important to me, you know."
Leah giggles softly and I close my eyes, enjoying the sound. "You're important to me, too. We should have breakfast together tomorrow."
"And we will do so. Bring Naomi, too. It's been a while since the three of us all hung out together." I tell her.
"I was thinking the same thing, too. I'm going to bring her tomorrow morning and if she wants to keep sleeping, she can do it afterwards." She said with a laugh.
I couldn't help but laugh myself. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Leah replies.
A/N: Does Dean and Leah seem to be getting along better? Are you glad that he finally told her the reason for why he was helping Cody out? Why do you think Cody looked at her the way he did, the second time around? Is he feeling different towards Leah after his breakup with Anna? If so, why do you think that could be?
