"Okay, I think I'm going to call it a night and try to get some sleep" Sam announced after eating.
"Night Sammy" Dean flicked two of his fingers in the air in a half wave
"Night" he answered back before climbing up the stairs to his room
Bela and Dean sat in silence for a few moments, with the exception of the soft sipping sound either of them made when they drank from their beers
"So" Bela began "How did your hunt go?"
"Do you really care?" Dean asked her honestly
"Well, for the sake of conversation, why not?" Bela smiled
"It went fine, we have a lot of work to do still, it's not over yet; but everything is going just fine"
"Good"
They both fell into an awkward silence until Dean spoke up
"What did you do all day?"
"I shot four rats"
"You what?"
"I shot four rats today and kicked their bodies out of the door"
Dean shook his head smiling "And you think that I'm the crazy one"
Bela smiled back and laughing
"So Penne alla Vodka?" Dean laughed
"I think that was the first meal I have ever made from scratch in my life" Bela admitted light heartedly
"I could've guessed" Dean smiled into his beer bottle and took a long sip "well it's the thought that counts" he added after he lowered the bottle again
"I wasn't being thoughtful, I was just hungry" Bela smiled defensively feeling her cheeks burning slightly under a blush
"What?" Dean asked, his laughing smile transforming into a confused one
"I was only hungry" Bela nodded "that's why I cooked"
Dean's smile turned into an unpleasant smirk "Wow" he chortled
"What?"
"Nothing" he shook his head slightly in disapproval. Bela stared at him impatiently
"It's just that, instead of admitting that you were doing something nice for once, you would rather pretend like you were only thinking of yourself" His head was still bobbing slightly
"I'm just trying to be honest Dean, don't get all emotional on me now"
"No, you're not" Dean challenged "If you being honest than you would've told the truth"
"Oh is that what being honest means?" Bela shot sarcastically "You know I'm beginning to reconsider who really is the brains behind this whole operation between you and your brother"
"You're trying to tell me that you cleaned up the house, went grocery shopping, cooked dinner and served us, and that was all just for you?"
Bela looked away from him angrily. She was angry again. Why was she always getting so angry with him suddenly?
"I didn't think so" Dean concluded
"It's alright you know" his tone was suddenly much softer "It's alright to care about people, to do genuine nice things for others. It's part of being human"
"Thanks Dean, that's good to know, now I think I'll go write that down in my diary if you don't mind" Bela smiled rising to her feet
"Will you relax and put the knives away for a minute?" Dean pressed also rising from his seat to block her path to the stairway
"I'm just tired" Bela's smile disappeared from her face as she crossed her arms
"Fine" Dean sighed tiredly moving slightly to get out of her way
Bela began to move but hesitated. Her heart began fluttering again. She didn't want him to let her walk by but it didn't look like he was going to try to stop her.
"Good night Dean"
"Night Bela" he replied raising his eyebrows upwards in exasperation
"Night" she repeated as she began to move again
Dean's forehead wrinkled as he eyed her suspiciously. Bela's heart jumped into her throat as she began walking quickly by him.
"Bela"
She turned around to face him, the butterflies in her chest were suddenly fluttering around wildly
"Yes Dean?" her voice managed to squeeze out of her tightening throat
"Thanks for making dinner" he nodded
A voice crept into her head "Invite him to bed, don't make him sleep on the couch"
"Dean" she blurted out
"Yeah?"
"You can have the bed if you want, I don't really mind the couch" Bela said quickly. Her thoughts were racing "Stupid you were supposed to invite him to bed, not try to switch, that doesn't make any sense"
Dean was taken aback by the offer. "Are you offering to sleep on the couch for me?"
Bela didn't move.
"You wanted to rip my head off for saying that it was thoughtful of you to cook dinner, and then you offer me your bedroom?" Dean was completely perplexed
"Never mind" Bela smiled politely "forget I mentioned it" she added quickly
"Come here"
"What for?" she asked with a surprisingly steady voice
He beckoned her over with his hand without answering her. She walked back to him fast paced, trying to seem casual
"Thank you for the offer, but you can keep the bed" he said finally when they were face to face
Bela sighed and rolled her eyes "Is that what you called me over here for?"
"Pretty much" he nodded and smiled
"What are you smiling about?" Bela asked suspiciously
"It's finally getting to you isn't it?" Dean smirked
"What is? I don't know what you're talking about"
"You have a little crush on me don't you" Dean continued smirking obnoxiously
"You're mad" Bela snarled pushing him away from her
"You want me" Dean teased as she turned to storm away "Sorry sweet heart, but you're going to have to wait in line like the rest of them"
Bela turned back at him fully intending to whack him across the face with the back of her hand, but grabbed his shirt instead. Without thinking she grabbed the back of his head with her other hand, pushed his face to hers, and kissed him hard on the mouth. Almost immediately after, she released him and they stared at each other in horror. Bela turned quickly and started walking away when Dean grabbed her by the arm and pulled her against him and crushed his lips on to hers. His fingers ran through the top of her hair before he grabbed a handful of it and leaned her head back to deepen the kiss. She reached grabbed his shirt and pulled him off of the wall and he reached down and grabbed one of her legs and rested it against his waist, she used her other one to pushed herself upwards and he held her suspended in the air, she wrapped her legs around him and he started carrying her up the stairs. It was a long journey, every once in a while he would slam her against the wall and shift her weight so he wouldn't drop her. When they finally stumbled into her room he dropped her on the bed. She crawled backwards towards the top of the bed with Dean on all fours in close pursuit. He reached forwards and yanked at her pants, which he then threw on the floor, she tore off her shirt and he landed on top of her. She reached down and undid his belt and he began kissing her again. His hand grabbed the nape of her neck and slid down to her shoulder. Suddenly he stopped. She followed his gaze down to her shoulder, he was staring at the massive handprint that had been welted onto her skin. She looked back at his face and bit her lip in insecurity. His eyes met hers again and his hand caressed the puffy print on her skin, he bent his head down and kissed it slowly, deliberately, and began kissing her upwards on her collar bone, then her neck, then her lips again. He pulled her close and she wrapped her arms around him in an intimate embrace.
At 5am, Dean and Bela were laying side by side under the covers, trying to grasp what just happened.
"So, what exactly just happened here" Dean finally said with a faint smile on his face
"Stockholm's syndrome?" Bela smiled sarcastically. Dean laughed and put his arm around her pulling her close.
"We have to get Cas back soon, I don't think I'll be able to keep your hands off me now"
Bela threw his arm from around her "Can't hide the ego on you can we?"
"Come on" he said half apologetic and half teasing "You jumped my bones last night, I think I've earned some bragging rights"
"I didn't jump your bones Dean, I was simply giving you a friendly kiss goodnight"
"Do you kiss all of your friends like that?" Dean raised an eyebrow at her
"I certainly would if I had any friends" She answered lightly
"Yeah, I'm sure you would" he said draping his arm back around her, his fingers playing with tips of her hair
"You're not going to tell Sam are you?" she asked casually
"Tell Sam what?"
"About what happened earlier"
"I'd be surprised if he didn't know already, he's usually up poking around at this time" Dean said carelessly
"Well what are you going to tell him?" Bela pried
"Nothing, if he asks I'll just say that you were giving me friendly goodnight kiss" Dean looked at her with teasing eyes "Although I can't guarantee that he won't try harder to be friends with you right after"
"Can we try to be serious now Dean" she said shifting uncomfortably under his arm
"What? Relax Bela" He leaned towards her "What are you so worried about?"
"I'm not worried" She pouted
"Don't worry" he said leaning closer "It's okay, everything is okay"
"I'm not worried" she repeated still feeling defensive "I'm just wondering"
Her sentence was cut short by a kiss.
"Okay Romeo" she said when their lips parted again "You better get going before your brother starts wondering about you"
