Bela's Home. 2 days later.
It had been a nice two days Dean and Bela spent, away from the worries about the Apocalypse and Sam. They'd done dinner the first night and even watched some classics on tv before heading to bed. The next day they didn't wake up until 11:00am, and then stayed in bed together until Noon. They hadn't left the condo until Bela talked him into going out for dinner, both starving. Dean protested at first, but Bela won in the end. He decided it best to go along with her too fancy dinners. After all, he didn't live this way often so what was one night?
After dinner they spent one more night together. Surprisingly he was even still there when Bela awoke, making coffee downstairs and a bag on the chair ready to go.
"You do like your sleep don't you princess."
"Not my fault you kept me up...again."
"I don't think you mind."
She smiled.
"Here." He said, handing her a cup of coffee. She tasted it, a small amount of cream and a few sugars. She was surprised he knew exactly what she wanted. Maybe they'd been spending too much time together. He then placed a piece of toast in front of her. Funny, he was better at fixing food then her. Bela found that a little embarassing...not that she minded this side of him.
She sat down on the barstool. He finished the piece of toast in his hand.
"Better head out. Found a case this morning." he said.
"Where?"
"Pennsylvania. Atleast I don't have to drive that far."
She nodded. Dean walked over to her and kissed her lips, letting his linger there for a minute.
"Been fun. I'll see you later."
"Yeah. Seriously though, keep your damn phone charged this time. I'd rather not waste my time worrying about if you're dead or not when you are perfectly fine."
"Wow thanks for your concern honey." he said, smirking.
"Shut up. Get out of here will you." she teased, yet her voice held a serious concern for him. Bela's instincts were to push those feelings down...it was just getting harder to do lately.
"I'm going. I'll call you later."
Bela knew he would, eventually...she just expected it'd be a while first. She nodded anyway.
Dean walked towards the hall leading to the door, and smiled back at her before walking the rest of the way out.
lllllllllllllllllllllllll
Dean went to Pennsylvania on a hunt, killing a couple vampires after he'd found the human victims. Sam himself was doing the opposite, and started working at a bar...except that at night he thought he was having dreams about his dead girlfriend Jess.
Dean continued to hunt on his own, occasionally calling Bela or Bobby to either help with research or back him up for one of his aliases. He'd been hunting alone for nearly 3 weeks now, and was finally taking a short break and was holed up at some crummy motel in Ohio.
"Dean."
Dean jumped at the sound of Cas's voice, not expecting it.
"Don't do that man." Dean said, slowing his heartrate some.
"I'm sorry."
"How'd you know where I was, I thought you hid us from angels."
"I spoke with Bobby. He told me you were here."
"Where is Sam?"
"Uh Sam and I are taking a vacation from each other."
"Oh. Bobby did not mention this."
Dean shrugged.
"Why are you here? You find God yet?" Dean asked.
"No, that is why I am here. I need your help."
"No thanks, not interested in the God hunt."
"Not him, someone else...who can help me find him."
"Who?"
"Raphael. He's the archangel."
"Seriously?"
"Yes. He is here on Earth."
"Why do you wanna go after him?"
"Information that he has. I believe he can help me find God."
Dean shook his head. "Why do you need me?"
"No angel will harm you. You're Michael's vessel."
"Oh, so you want me as protection against an archangel? Nice."
"Dean."
"Fine fine. Where is he?"
"Maine. Let's go." Castiel told him, and touched Dean's forehead.
"No." Dean pushed Cas's hand away. "We drive."
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Dean wasn't thrilled. He wasn't interested in tangling with an archangel. And really...it had proved useless. They found Raphael, questioned him...and of course he didn't give them any information on God's location. Granted, walking away from an archangel without a scratch was a good thing.
Dean had fun with Castiel as well. Sure, he didn't want to go do it again anytime soon, but it'd been fun. They sure got into some interesting situations, and Dean realized Castiel's lying skills were terrible and Dean was lucky he didn't have to take him hunting very often. Castiel went off to go search for God again as Dean drove away from Maine.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Bela's Home.
Bela was laying on her stomach on her couch, there were books around her on the floor and one open in front of her. She felt her phone vibrate and picked it up.
"Hello." she said sleepily.
"Hi sexy."
She laughed. "Dean. Can I help you?"
"Well, not really the way I want you too." He smired, and Bela could tell.
"Easy there tiger. You called for what reason then?"
"I'm bored."
"Uh huh."
"So, anything?"
"No Dean, same as last week when you called. Nothing on killing the devil, nothing on the Colt. The spirit board spelled out DEMON. Seriously? Yeah obviously I know a demon has it."
Dean laughed at her, he couldn't help it. "Well we just have to find out what demon."
"Sounds simple." she replied sarcastically. "So, your latest hunt...normal stuff?"
"No. I was with Cas."
"Okay...and why is that?"
"He needed my helping interrogating Raphael...an archangel."
"And the pair of you are still alive?"
"Yeah well aparently I'm not allowed to be harmed since I'm Michael's vessel and all...and I'm pretty sure Cas was using me as a shield."
"Well we know when the world is ending when a human is an angel's shield. How'd that go anyways?"
"Nothin'. He didn't know where God was, in fact he tried to convince Cas God was gone, or dead or something."
"I assume that's a lie."
"So do I. Poor Cas though, I mean I know what it's like looking for a dad who ain't around. It's hard."
They talked for a few more minutes before Dean decided Bela sounded exhausted.
"Anyways I'll let you go. Goodnight."
"Yeah. By the way, you talk to your brother yet?"
"Once, couple weeks ago. Make sure one another was alive I guess."
"You going to avoid him forever?"
"No, but right now I'm okay. Going out with Cas, well it was kinda fun. He's so awkward that I spent most of my time laughing."
She smiled into the phone. "I can imagine so. Still though, I know you Dean. You miss him."
"Sure, but it's better this way for a while."
"I guess. Goodnight Dean." she said.
End Chapter.
*Shorter than usual, I know, sorry:) Just assume everything with Sam about Lucifer talking to him and Sam and Bobby talking happened. I really didn't want to write all the little tidbits into this chapter. I'm starting the next chapter now though to make up for this shorter one.
Thanks for reading!
