The next morning as I sat in Sam's lap at the kitchen table and ran my fingers through his hair and watched him eat the last of his breakfast. His shoulder was getting better causing him to go without his brace more and more. I was trying to make sure he ate now though. I had seen pictures of him before Dean disappeared and before hurting his shoulder. He had lost a lot of weight and muscle from not being able to lift much and from the time that all he did was drink and search for Dean. Chuck hadn't been the first demon that he had questioned. He had told me as we lay in bed last night about the demons that had come before. He told me about how he had tortured them and about them calling him a monster. All of this had torn him down in a way. "Sam.", I said as I tugged gently at his hair. "You know that you're the most awesome person I've ever met right?" Sam looked into my eyes and I saw that he struggled to believe me.
Taking his face in my hands I hoped to convey to him just how wonderful he was. He had been torn down so much that it may take me a while to build him back up. I knew that feeling, had felt it when I had been with Chuck. "You looked for your brother even when you thought it was useless. And now that you've found him you are willing to accept him the way he is and have even welcomed him back into the bunker. Don't argue with me when I tell you that you're a very special man Sam Winchester!" I leaned forward and kissed him. One of his large hands rested on my hip and his thumb worked circles against my skin above the top of my pajama shorts. In a sleep husky voice, Sam answered me, "I'm going to take your word for it Jade, but only because I've fallen hard for you."
We had started kissing after that, things starting to heat up when we heard the door to the bunker slam and heavy boots making their way down the stairs. Sam reached for a pistol that he always kept nearby and pushed me so that I was shielded by his much larger body. Holding the pistol assuredly, Sam waited for the person to make their way into the kitchen. Dean walked around the corner and I heard and felt Sam release the breath he had been holding, "Well Sammy….I'm not sure what's more appetizing, your breakfast or the little honey you're hiding behind you.", Dean said with his own Dean wit. For a moment I had forgotten that he was a demon until he flicked his eyes black at me and Sam. "Damnit Dean!", Sam said as he released the hammer on the pistol and placed it smoothly back onto the table behind me. Dean held his hands out, "What? You told me I could come back to the bunker."
Sam shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. It was then that he made that clearing his throat/growling noise deep in his throat. It always causes me to tingle all over when I hear him do that. "I didn't mean for you to just come barging in here unannounced.", he said with frustration. Dean walked into the room and over to the stove. He picked up a piece of toast and two pieces of bacon, folding them into the toast and bit off a large mouthful. I finally found my voice, "Where is Nancy?" Dean looked at me and smiled around the food in his mouth. He swallowed and then answered, "Oh Nancy is fine. I sent her home happy as a dead pig in the sunshine very early this morning. I only hope she's able to work. I did give her a good working over.", he smiled sheepishly. "God I hope that was a good working over and not a bad one.", I mumbled to myself. Dean leered at me, "Trust me…it was a good working over. She's definitely not complaining as I'm sure you haven't been over my little brother here."
"Dean cut it out.", Sam warned. I slid my hand over his shoulders, "I'm going to run take a shower. Will you be alright here with him?", I asked as Sam looked down at me. He nodded and then leaned down to kiss my lips. When we broke from our kiss he lay his forehead against mine for a brief second and I could read the love and adoration in his eyes so plainly. I smoothed my hand over his stubbled cheek and tried to convey to him just how much I loved him. "Ok you two cut it out. I'm about to lose my breakfast over here.", Dean grumped. I backed away from Sam and looked toward Dean. I rolled my eyes at him and then held up my hand in his direction. He was laughing quietly as I walked out of the room.
"Is she as good in bed as she looks like she would be?", Dean said to Sam as he watched Jade leave the room. "And just how in hell does that work? She's so tiny and you're so much like a sasquatch!" Sam threw a threatening look in Dean's direction, "You will not talk about her like that! I don't go around asking you rude questions about your love life and I don't expect you to ask about mine!", he glared at his older brother. Dean laughed cockily, "Well if you must know her friend Nancy is excellent. She does this thing with her tongue….", Sam cut him off, "Dean I don't want to know!" Dean laughed at his younger brother and walked to the refrigerator and grabbed a beer, popping the top off against the counter top and taking a long swig before turning back to Sam.
"There's a vampire nest in the next town over. You want to go wipe them out for old time's sake?", Dean asked now on a more serious note. Sam ran a hand through his hair again, "Yeah I had seen some activity on the net. I was planning to head over that way later today. I was going to talk to Jade about it but haven't had a chance to yet. She's never stayed here at the bunker by herself before." Dean acted like his old self as he hopped up onto the counter easily and took another pull on his longneck. "Why don't we see if Nancy wants to come stay with Jade while we go on this job? They're friends anyway right? I mean Nancy told me that she worked on your shoulder. How is it anyway?" Sam rolled his still stiff shoulder before answering, "It's doing better. I don't always wear the sling now though I probably will when we go on this hunt. Don't want to risk hurting it more."
The brothers walked into the library where Sam's laptop was open on the table. They wanted to check on the status of the vampire nest with some of their other hunter friends. A few minutes later Jade walked into the room. Both brothers looked up when she came in, hair still wet from her shower and brining the smell of gardenias with her. Sam fought a goofy grin and Dean was his usual flirty self. Her lightly tanned skin glowed on her shoulders where they were exposed by her black AC/DC tank, making Sam want to kiss them. He loved that she was so much shorter than he was. "What are you two in here contemplating?", Jade asked as she leaned against the table beside Sam. Sam snaked his arm out and pulled her closer to him, "Dean knows of a vamp nest that needs to be cleaned up. We were going to call and see if Nancy wanted to come hang out here with you while the two of us handles this job.", Sam watched for Jade's expression.
Jade swallowed and wondered if it was a good idea for Sam to go off with Dean. He was a demon after all. Dean must have sensed her hesitation, "I promise to take care of him Jade. He's still my little brother. I'm the only one I would let hurt him." Jade watched as Dean's green eyes sparkled with teasing. Did she dare trust this demon wearing Sam's brother's meat suit? She looked to Sam for an answer and saw him nod just slightly. "Dean why don't you go call Nancy and let Jade and I talk.", Sam said finally. Dean chuckled to himself but did as Sam asked. When he was gone Sam pulled Jade down into his lap and finally placed a kiss to her shoulder, "I will be alright you know?" Jade watched his hazel eyes turn to an almost turquoise color with flecks of brown. She loved this man more than she really should have at this point. She finally nodded her approval before she leaned in and nipped gently at Sam's exposed neck.
