Sam stared down at the still form of his lover, his right hand carded through the now flattened spikes as his eyes admired the man's nearly naked form. Three single beams of moonlight flittered through the gaps in the blinds and illuminated his mates tanned skin making it seem like he was glowing. The man's splatter of freckles stood out on his cheeks and it made Sam want to sit there and count every single one, something he had done many times before when he couldn't sleep. Deciding against this habit the vampire instead was just content to pull his lover closer to his chest.
In his sleep Dean grumbled at the movement however he hooked a leg around Sam's and threw his arm around the vampire's chest before burying his head in the crook of the vampire's neck. Sam stifled a chuckle, in his sleep the demon was very clingy and loved to snuggle not that Dean would ever admit to it if he was awake. It was cute really and showed Sam that his lover trusted him to protect him in his sleep, to let himself be this vulnerable around him. It was something that didn't happen naturally, the first time they had started to sleep in the same bed Dean had grumbled about how he wasn't a little spoon and that Sam best stick to his side of the bed as the demon didn't want to wake up with a Sammy blanket draped all around him. For about two weeks they had managed to keep to their own sides of the bed with the only contact between them being the occasional leg crossed over one another or an arm draped around their waist. That was until one morning when Sam had woken up to a Dean blanket, the hunter had practically been lying on top of the vampire and it took all of Sam's self control not to laugh at the sight...so much for a Sammy blanket.
Sam's lips curled up at the memory, it was a rare moment of pure happiness that the couple had managed to share together before the shit storm that was their lives now had hit. Before the yellow eyed demon, before Jake, before hell and before everything, when they could just be Sam and Dean. Not Sam and Dean the supernatural creatures but Sam and Dean the couple. It was those days the vampire missed the most. But most of all he missed his demon's carefree devil may care attitude, the cocky patented Dean Winchester smirk that could melt a thousand girls hearts, the gentle kisses and rough sex at night but most of all he missed the blinding heart warming smile that used to be on his lovers lips. The smile that broke down all of the other man's walls and made his eyes shine brightly with his emotions. That one smile was the one glimpse into Dean's guarded soul and every time Sam had seen it his breath was instantly stolen. Dean was gorgeous, that was a fact and the vampire gets blinded by this fact every day.
Sam felt tears prick at the corner of his eyes, the hand in Dean's hair stilled and moved so that it was now caressing the man's arm. He leaned down and placed his chin on top of the demon's head and inhaled deeply.
The last twenty four hours played through his head over and over again. After they had dealt with Gordon the group retreated back to their vehicles. From there they had said their thanks to Rufus and Jess (yes Rufus was given his whiskey.) Jess left them in order to find the rest of the nest who had managed to flee Gordon's genocide. Then the rest of them drove back to the roadhouse with no one saying a single word. Once they had made it back, Ellen grabbed Bobby in a tight hug and dragged him up to her bedroom, Jo had said her polite goodnight before heading to her room, and Aelfric nodded at the two boys before settling down on the couch whereas Sam had to forcefully drag Dean into their shared room. The demon was exhausted that he didn't even have enough energy to make it up the stairs so the vampire had to carry him bridal style the rest of the way.
And that was how they found themselves now about five hours later. Sam had been too wired up to sleep, he knew his body needed to rest but he just felt like he had to look over his vulnerable lover. He didn't want to take his eyes off of the man in case something happened, in case reality had a sick turn of fate and took the love of his life away from him again.
The vampire knew that Dean had endangered himself coming out to all those hunters like that and the only thing stopping the humans from hunting them was a threat from Aelfric. However Sam couldn't help but worry, supernatural's he could deal with but humans are crazy...
"Dude stop thinking..." a sleepy voice caused Sam to jump and brought him out of his musings. His eyes looked down at the man in his arms who for all intense purposes seemed to still be asleep but Sam knew better. "Trying to sleep here..." Dean murmured as he shifted his head into a more comfortable position on Sam's shoulder.
"I didn't say anything," Sam replied smiling fondly, his hand continuing to caress the hunter's arm.
"Don't have to...big freaky brain...won't shut up...Dork," the incoherent words were uttered by Dean however he refused to open his eyes obviously still needing to regain his strength.
Sam chuckled to himself before he placed a kiss to the top of Dean's head. "You a mind reader now?"
Dean groaned reluctantly lifting his head off of Sam's chest. He yawned a couple of times as he forced his body up out of bed. One of his eyes opened so that a small sliver of green was visible. The demon yawned once more, attempted to glare at the vampire but failed due to his other's eyes reluctance to open and made his way over to the bathroom mumbling "stupid vampire's, thinking too loud, can't get any sleep now have to pee, stupid bitchy vampire's," as he approached the door to their attached bathroom.
"You're blaming me for your own bladder? Man you're grouchy in the mornings," Sam chuckled waiting patiently for his lover to return. After a couple of minutes and the sound of the toilet flushing Dean appeared still in his sleep deprived state. His hair was sticking up in all directions and the man was in nothing but his boxers, his boner was evident and it just kept increasing in size due to the vampire's stare.
"Shuddaup," Dean slurred through a yawn making his words merge together. The demon managed to navigate over towards the bed and within moments he was tucked under the covers lying once more on the vampire's chest. "Not morning...morning has coffee...no coffee...not morning."
Sam smiled bringing the man close to his body. His free hand reached down underneath the sheets searching for its desired target. A gasp from the demon and a satisfied smirk from the vampire showed that he had indeed found his target. "Not morning huh? So what's this then?" Sam asked innocently running his fingers along the bulge inside of Dean's boxers. A moan escaped the demon's lips. "Someone's happy to see me."
"The only one, who is," Dean retorted seemingly more awake this time around. His green eyes opened and looked straight at the vampire; his pupils had darkened in desire. "Fucking tease," he hissed as the pressure increased on his erection.
"Now you're awake..."Sam waggled his eyebrows in suggestion never stopping the pace he had started.
"Horny bastard waking me up," Dean growled sticking his bottom lip out in a mock pout.
Sam laughed and leaned forward capturing those lips in a sinful kiss. Their tongues twirled around each other's creating an erotic dance inside their mouths. Both fighting for dominance with neither one actually gaining the upper hand. This display continued for a few more moments before they pulled apart. "You love it," Sam winked at Dean who chuckled in response.
"I love you," Dean replied.
"I love you too," Sam added leaning down to kiss Dean's neck. All their worries were forgotten in these perfect moments. There was no war; there were no demons, no vampires, no death or impending fight. It was just Sam and Dean, the way it should be.
In these small hours of the morning the couple managed to just forget about the world around them. This was there moment and nothing would take that away from them...
Dean nursed the cup of coffee in his hands. His head was hung low and it was taking a lot of strength to keep his eyes open. Thanks to a horny vampire he had only managed to get about six hours sleep the previous night rather than his preferred ten. His bitterness was forgotten as he watched his vampire walk into the kitchen; well waddle would probably be the better term.
Dean smirked; he brought his cup up to his lips and took a long drag of the sweet nectar. His eyes glistened seeing his vampire's discomfort when trying to sit down and he was trying hard not to burst out laughing. Sam shot him a death glare and that just sent the demon over the edge.
He placed his cup back on the table, managed to swallow his mouthful before throwing his head back and laughing. He could feel tears sting the corner of his eyes and his chest became tight with the lack of air getting to his lungs however he couldn't care less. The glare that was being shot his way just added more fuel to the fire.
Sam squirmed in his seat a few more times, the discomfort clear on his face. "Having trouble there Sammy?" Dean asked winking towards his vampire who just continued to glare towards him. "So hard done by aye Sam?"
"Jerk," Sam scowled grabbing himself some coffee.
"You deserved it for waking me up at silly o clock; anyway I didn't hear you complaining...I heard some other stuff though...I believe you think I am some kind of God..." Dean winked at Sam causing the vampire to blush for the first time and that was only because Aelfric had decided to make his appearance at that same time.
"Now boys we do not need to hear that sort of thing," Aelfric scolded Dean as he took his seat at the table next to Sam. "Twice," the elder vampire added which just caused the demon to laugh harder and for Sam to sink into his seat.
Jo decided to enter the room at that same time. "We talking about Sam's shouting session last night?" she asked innocently grabbing herself a cup of coffee. "I never heard Dean's name said so many times..."
"It's bad enough seeing it rather than having to hearing it too," Bobby uttered as he too entered the room with Ellen in toe.
Dean continued to laugh as Sam sunk further and further into his chair. His face was a bright red and he felt physically sick. All he wanted was to be out of this conversation but he knew that as soon as he stood up his waddle would be evident for everyone to see...no he didn't need that added to his current teasing thank you very much.
"Not my fault I'm so amazing in the sack," Dean added to which Sam groaned loudly. He looked at his demon and knew that the man was enjoying every minute of this, oh yeah, this was payback for waking the man up for his loud thinking and apparently because he had caused Dean's bladder want to pee. "Had to do something to drown out the sound of you two," Dean added waving his finger towards Bobby and Ellen.
"Eww," Jo blanched. "Old people sex, not good...Thanks Dean I will never get that image out of my head," she pouted sticking her tongue out at the demon.
"It's better than seeing it in real life...All those wrinkles...in places you don't want to think of..."
"EWWWW!" Jo squealed placing her hands over his ears. "That's my mum you are talking about!"
"I'm not old," Ellen protested shooting her famous death glare.
"Wasn't talking about you," Dean added winking towards Bobby.
"This old man still has it," Bobby replied waggling his eyebrows in suggestion to Ellen. "Have to keep up with you youngsters."
Sam took the change of subject as his chance to escape. Slowly he slide out of his seat trying to hide the ache in between in legs as much as possible. He started to make his way towards the lounge; he had almost made it until Dean had shouted "NICE WADDLE!"
Sam could feel the heat on his face increase at the resounding laugh coming from everyone in the kitchen. That was the last time he bottomed...ever...even he knew that was an empty promises. "FUCK YOU!" he shouted back as a lacklustre response.
"I ALREADY DID!"
A couple of hours had passed since that incident in the morning where way too much information was shared for Sam's liking. Since then everyone had gone off to do their own thing as it was clear that neither one of them knew what their next move should be.
Bobby, Ellen and Jo had resumed their positions at the bar knowing that they had to open as they couldn't afford the loss in money. Aelfric had told them that he had some business to attend to which Sam knew meant that his Sire was getting antsy being cooped up in the small roadhouse. Dean was out the back tuning up the Impala and Sam was just sat on the cooler he had brought out watching the man work.
The light-hearted mood of this morning seemed to have dissipated as their current situation began to hit home once again. "What we going to do?" Sam found himself asking.
Dean sighed, placed the wrench down on the work bench and grabbed the nearest towel to clean the oil off of his hands. "We are going to put a bullet in that yellow eyed bastard's forehead," was the simple reply.
"Yeah Dean that would be nice and all but how do you suggest we do that? We have no colt and no clue to where it is and we don't know where the demon is or what he is planning. We are in the dark here..."
"I know that Sammy," Dean replied dropping the towel on the floor. His head was faced towards the floor so that Sam couldn't see his face and the vampire knew instantly that this was never a good sign. "I know," he repeated still not moving.
Sam could feel dread wash over him; something was up that much was sure. The last time he had seen his lover act this way was the night that Dean had stepped in front of that bullet...a decision that Sam had despised ever since.
Not liking where this conversation was headed the vampire took a step towards the demon; he placed his hand underneath the other man's chin and lifted his head so that they made eye contact. Dean's green eyes glistened with unshed tears but behind this emotion settled a strong determination. Sam knew instantly that he wasn't going to like what was going to be said next. "Dean..."
"There is a way to find that bastard..." Dean mumbled snapping his head away from Sam's hand, his walls firmly in place and his defense was at an all time high.
Sam's eyes widened as realisation hit him hard. He felt like he had been drenched with a bucket of ice water. "Dean no..."
"Sam..."
"There has to be another way," Sam pleaded desperately his hand running through his hair while his other hand grasped hard onto Dean's shoulder. "There has to...Bobby can research..."
Dean let out a small smile as his hand reached up to grasp onto Sam's and brought it down so that it was at their sides. "How long will that take? You know as well as I do this needs to end soon..."
"And it will," Sam pleaded once more his own eyes brimming with his unshed tears at the thought of what his lover was proposing. "Just give us some more time please..."
Dean shook his head in response; a lost look crossed his face as it was clear that the demon didn't like the thought of what he had to do either. "I won't let anything else happen to this family...Bobby...Aelfric...You have lost so much because of me..."
"Because we love you and we are a family..."
"Which is why I am going to do this...for our family...the sooner that yellow eyed bastard is out of our lives the better. I will not let him take anyone else away from me."
"But it will take you away from me!" Sam gasped clutching the hand tighter. "You're talking about torture Dean...I saw...god...I saw how messed up you was after your session in hell...I don't want to lose you...not again..."
Dean sighed bringing their joined hands up to his face and kissing Sam's left hand tenderly. "If torturing Alastair gives us the advantage we need against that yellow eyed son of a bitch then I'm gonna take that chance. I'm not waiting around for him to strike...not again. I don't want to do this either Sammy but you have to understand please."
Sam nodded slowly a bloodied tear snaking down his cheek. "I understand," he whispered. His eyes locked onto Dean's once more. "But you're not going through this alone again...If you go I'm going."
Dean chuckled smiling fondly at Sam, his eyes still glistening through his tears that his pride would never allow to fall. "Stubborn bitch," he whispered pressing his lips to the vampire's. The kiss was tender and needing, both men needing to feel the touch of the other as the finality of their decision were settling into their minds.
After a couple of moments the couple pulled apart but their foreheads rested against each others as green eyes stared into hazel.
"What are we going to tell Sire and Bobby?" Sam whispered not daring to move afraid to ruin this one precious moment.
"I've left a note," Dean replied.
"How long you been thinking about this?"
"Since yesterday when I realised that he was behind all this."
Sam closed his eyes and breathed in the scent that was his lover. He could feel Dean's arms snake around his waist as he was pulled into an embrace. The vampire wrapped his arms around the demon's neck and let his head bury into Dean's shoulder. The demons scent washing over him and consuming his whole being as he tried to forget the whole situation they were in. He wished he could turn back time and stop all this shit from happening. He wished he could protect Dean from everything but the world was not that kind to the pair. "I love you," Sam whispered into Dean's collar, he couldn't help but feels that this moment was meant to be like a goodbye. He held onto the demon tighter worried that he would just vanish from his arms right before his eyes.
"I love you too," Dean whispered back.
"Dean..." Sam said pulling his head back so that he could look the demon in the eyes but he still remained in the man's arms not willing to give up this one form of contact. "When this is all over..." Sam paused to gulp around the lump that had formed in his throat, his mind shouting out him that it was not a matter of when but if. "When..." he stopped again mentally swearing at himself that he was unable to get out this one coherent sentence.
"We will get through this Sammy. Together this time. I won't leave you," Dean interrupted obviously seeing how much the vampire was struggling. The demon reached forward and tucked a wayward strand of hair behind Sam's hair before cupping the vampire's cheek in his hand. "You're stuck with me forever Konvinski..."
"Winchester..." Sam corrected watching his lover's eyes furrow in confusion. "I was thinking you know...if you want...I mean... you don't have to..." the vampire drew in a deep breath trying to gather his thoughts together. Dean waited patiently for him to continue. "I want to live our forever as a Winchester, I want to be yours completely Dean...When this is over I'm changing my name to Winchester."
Dean blinked a couple of times before a wide smile broke across his face. "What about..."
"Sire agrees with me. Dean I took his surname when he sired me because he became my family me whole life. Now Dean you mean everything to me and I want to be complete with you, I want to take your name to show you my love and my commitment to you. I want to become Sam Winchester."
"I always knew you were the girl in this relationship," Dean smiled fondly as he leaned down for one more kiss. "Sam Winchester..." he mumbled when the couple pulled apart. "It sounds perfect."
Yeah it was perfect...their own little slice of heaven, their own one perfect moment in the shit storm that they called a life.
"You ready?" Dean asked Sam who nodded in response.
Drawing in a deep breath Dean pulled apart from Sam but still held onto one hand. His head turned up to the sky.
"Alright Cas, I'll do it..."
No sooner had he said those words that thunder rolled in the sky.
Before Dean could think anything of it his whole world faded to black the last thought on his mind were two simple words.
Sam Winchester...
