A/N: So sorry guys! I thought I posted this chapter last night!
CHAPTER 21
"A cupid? Seriously?" Leigh asked after Dean had told them about the hearts and what Cas had said about the deaths while they were at the morgue the previous day.
"I'm married to a cupid and if you even think about making him a suspect you'll both have your favourite appendages blown off. Got it?" Phoebe said to them sternly. Both boys moved their hands over their crotch with pained and disturbed expressions on their faces.
"Don't worry, our guy is really a cherub." Sam said safely.
"Good." Phoebe said in finality.
"Us and Cas are going to find it tonight. Cas reckons he knows where it'll be." Dean stated.
"Can I come with you?" Leigh asked, glancing quickly at Sam who hadn't taken his eyes off of her nearly the entire time "I'm just sick of being here all the time." She explained then added to the sisters "No offense guys."
"None taken." Piper nodded.
"No you can't come. Are you crazy?" Dean said.
"It's been said." Leigh joked.
"Leigh, it might be dangerous." Sam said concernedly.
"I have powers." She replied.
"Yeah, powers you can't control." Dean said.
"Please." She asked earnestly.
"Fine." Dean said throwing his arms in the air in annoyance. Everyone got up, taking that as the end of the meeting. Phoebe left to go back home and Piper and Paige went to magic school. Dean headed outside and Sam walked cautiously over to Leigh.
"Leigh?" he asked softly, as if asking permission to speak.
"Yes Sam?" she replied coolly.
"If it gets dangerous and there's even a slight possibility that you might get hurt—"
"It won't."
"But if it does, promise me you'll get out of there." She looked at him unsurely. "Promise me." He repeated strongly.
"Okay, I promise." She sighed. A look of relief washed over Sam's face before he got serious and cautious again. "Okay, your brow is furrowed and you have that look on your face. What's bothering you?"
"Coop." he replied.
"Why?"
"Well, he just hasn't been around that much when everyone else has and he hasn't had much to say during these meetings."
"So?"
"How do we know he's not causing these deaths?"
"Sam!" Leigh gasped "Are you serious? You heard Phoebe!"
"I know, but it just seems like he's been kinda busy and maybe…"
"I thought you trusted me."
"I do trust you, but I'm not sure if I completely trust them."
"Why trust me and not them? You haven't known me any longer."
"No but I know you."
"Oh do you now?" she replied, nearly with a laugh.
"I know your favourite color is purple. You love 'The Breakfast Club'. You hate French toast. You think world peace is overrated. You aren't afraid of snakes and spiders, but dolphins and the idea of getting old and wrinkly terrifies you." He said causally. She was momentarily stunned at how much he knew. He actually paid attention to her mindless-ramblings.
"Doesn't mean you should trust me."
"You trust me, so why shouldn't I trust you?"
"You talk to your girl?" Dean asked as Sam got out of the car.
"She's not my girl, Dean." Sam said avoiding the question.
"You want her to be." He replied and leaned against the bonnet of the Impala. Sam sighed and leaned against the car beside Dean.
"What's your point Dean?" Sam asked.
"My point is you've been all gloomy since Valentine's Day. It's been two days, whatever happened, get over it."
"I'm not like you Dean! I have actual feelings and I can't just 'get over' stuff like you can."
"Okay, so, tell me what happened."
"Leigh and I, kind of, had a moment and I ran out on her."
"What kind of moment?"
"We nearly kissed and I ran."
"What? Why?"
"Because I was scared, Dean."
"Of what?"
"The way I feel about her. I haven't felt like this since…" he trailed off.
"Since Ruby?" Dean asked accusingly.
"Since Jessica." Sam stated, turning to face his brother who had a surprised look on his face. "It took me a week to fall for jess, what if it takes me less to fall for Leigh?"
"Wow, okay. I'm still not seeing the problem though."
"It's not like I can have a relationship with her." Sam said as if it were obvious. "You say it all the time. Hunters can't get involved."
"Yeah well, maybe I've changed my mind." Dean said with a one-shouldered shrug.
"Paige?" Sam asked, already knowing the answer. Dean nodded.
"It's new to me Sammy, but I like her."
