When it was about an hour out from their reservation, the two men freshened up, changed clothes and when they were ready to leave, Dean excused himself "Wait here Sammy" and walked out through the door and closed it behind him.
Sam stood there amused and a little confused by Deans antics. A few seconds later there was a knock on the door. Sam walked to the door, opened it and there was Dean, standing there smiling, with a small bunch of flowers in an outstretched hand offering them to Sam. "Good evening, Sammy… Are you ready for our date" Dean offered his arm to him so he could go arm in arm.
Sam laughed at Deans formality "Oh my goodness… umm Hi, yes um.. let me just…" Sam laughed and took the offered flowers, smelled them, then turned to put them in a glass with water and walked back to the doorway where Dean was waiting patiently, took his arm and they walked off together smiling at each other. Sam was totally enjoying "Thank you" Sam said as they walked out into the street
"What are you thanking me for?" Dean asked with his eyebrow raised in question
"Just… I know you're really giving me the whole first date experience and… you know, I've never been on a date before… so this is really nice" Sam replied.
"Well, you know, I think you deserve it and I'm happy that I'm the one to give you this experience, so I'm going to lay it on as thick as I want" Dean said sweetly
"How are you so… amazing?" Sam asks with a shake to his head in disbelief
"I think you just bring it out in me" Dean replied with a cheeky smile.
"Really? Well, I like it.. keep doing it" Sam replied
They park in a small carpark across from a cosy looking steak house and as they walk up to the entry Dean grabs his hand and they walk in together. They walk up the concierge and smile "Hi, I have a reservation under the name 'Campbell'.
The smartly dressed woman at the concierge desk, looked down at the guest book and moved her finger down to list to find the name. "Ok, your waitress will show you to your table" she said and suddenly another smartly dressed woman came up to them, with menus in her hand.
"Come with me please" she said then started walking into the depths of the warm and cosy restaurant.
Dean pulled Sam along through the candle lit tables to the back of the restaurant where there was a number of cosy, leather clad booths with burgundy velvet curtains to give them extra privacy. They stopped at one of the private booths and they both sat down either side, then shuffled into the centre of the booth where they met in the middle. The waitress handed them both the menus, I'll give you a few moments to look over the menu then I'll come back to take your selections" She said and closed the curtain in one smooth motion. They were then left alone in the quiet candle lit booth. "Wow, this is really fancy Dean"
"Not really Sammy, it's quite informal usually but because I asked for a private booth, we won't be disturbed" Dean replied with a shrug
"I like the sound of that" Sam replied with a smile.
Dean picks up the menu in front of him and opened it "Ok, what looks good Sammy?" Dean asked
"Well… there is something not on the menu that looks good for me but I guess I'll choose something else" Sam replies giving Dean a pat on his bottom.
"Hey!, keep your hands to yourself there Sammy" Dean said putting his arm around Sam and sliding him closer to his side.
Exclaiming in shock by the quick movement Sam leans into Dean and nuzzles his nose into Deans neck. "I can't help myself" Sam replied softly
"I don't really want you to either Sammy… but let's eat first" Dean said giving Sam a quick kiss to his nose.
After having a look at the menu, Sam has made his choice "Ok, I know what I want" Sam says confidently
Dean pressed a small button on the wall next to the curtain, which signalled the waitress. A moment later a woman cleared her throat beside their table and the curtain opened. "How can I help you?"
"We're ready to order now please" Dean replied and when the waitress put the pen on the notepad so she could take his order. The two men gave the waitress their drink orders as well as their choices of main meal, then the curtain was closed again.
"I'm really enjoying this date De… I like being all hidden away with you… I mean, I can kiss you whenever I want" Sam said giving him a kiss that lingered for a moment.
"I know what you mean… but you know you can kiss me whenever and wherever you want anyway… I give you infinite permission" Dean replied softly
"I like that" Sam replies quietly with another kiss "Infinite permission" then another kiss that starts soft and slow then turns hard and urgent. Dean lifts a hand to slide it over Sam's cheek, threading his fingers through his hair, his thumb stroking the soft skin there, his tongue comes out to play with Sam's and when the younger man lets out a soft moan, Dean pushes him back slightly to rest against the booth bench seat.
Sam's hand makes a fist in the material of Deans shirt, holding him in place. He enjoys the feeling of Dean pressing into him firmly, he is surrounded by the comforting smell, the grounding warmth and reassuring feeling of Dean surrounding him. It could be minutes or hours but after a while there is a voice on the other side of the curtain "We have your meals ready for you gentleman" Sam and Dean pull apart reluctantly and move to sit up in front of the table, and the curtain opens, and their senses are roused by the aroma of their steak dinners. The curtain is closed again, and they smile at each other "It looks good, doesn't it?" Dean asks Sam as he picks on the knife and forks and hands a set to Sam.
"It looks so delicious" Sam says, his stomach growling
They eat their meals quietly for a while as they enjoy the delicious steak, potatoes and gravy, the elbows bumping each other's every now and then making them smile at each other. "My god, could we be any more adorable?" Sam asked as he leaned int to give Dean another kiss.
"I don't think we could actually… you know this is a first for me" Dean replied, brushing some hair from Sam's face and tucking in behind his ear.
"You've never been in a relationship before?" Sam asked surprised
"Well, I wouldn't really categorise what I did with any of those people as a 'relationship'" Dean said using finger quotes on the last word.
"Right…" Sam said with a twinge of jealously. He wasn't really sure why he was feeling jealous, Dean had only ever really had one-night stands in each new town they went to.
"Hey… You don't need to be jealous" Dean said perceptively as he put his knife and fork down.
Sam put his face in his hands in embarrassment "Oh god, sorry" Sam said muffled by his hands.
Dean pulled his hands away from his face. "Sammy… you don't need to be jealous… they were all, quite literally, nothing to me, compared to how I feel about you"
Sam looked into Deans green eyes "Wow… even though I have literally just come out… and have no experience in any of this stuff… I don't know what I'm doing… I'm probably going to be clingy and demanding of all your time and jealous of anyone you spend more than 2 minutes with, because.. I really, really, really like you… like L word strength like you" Sam said his face going pinker and pinker with each word.
Dean gives Sam a sexy smile "Baby… I don't care about any of that… I think you're amazing and when we do eventually sleep together, I don't think we'll have any problems making each other feel good, you're so sexy and you turn me on so much, just by being you"
Sam could feel heat sweep through his whole body at the very thought of sleeping with Dean. "Oh my god…" Sam replied waving his hand at his face to try to cool down.
"Yeah, that's what you'll be saying" Dean said with a smirk
"Oh my god, Dean... stop" Sam replied laughing
"Look… I don't want you to think you ever have to doubt how much I like you and want to be with you, or that I would ever be tempted by anyone else" Dean said genuinely
"Wow… how do you know that I mean; I don't want to be all jealous or anything… I know you won't ever cheat on me but… I guess I'm just a little insecure, so you're going to have to just get used to me being clingy and asking you about everything... um" Sam was rambling
Dean grabbed Sam's face with both hands to get his attention "Sammy… I want all of that too… If there is anything I can do while I'm on the road to make you more happy and secure in our relationship, you just have to ask… honestly I want you to know that you can call me for reassurance or just to talk at any time and that I will either answer that call or call you back as soon as I can, day or night"
Sam looks into older man's green eyes "I love that you would do that for me… I just hope it doesn't become too much for you…" Sam says hopefully
"Never… I think eventually… in time, you will believe that you have my whole heart… it's all yours Sammy" Dean replies running his hands through Sam's hair.
"God, I hope so… I'm sorry to be all upset on our date, I don't mean to doubt things, you're just so wonderful... and I'm just not used to that" Sam said wiping his eyes
"Hey, no, baby don't be sorry, this is the sort of stuff we should share with each other" Dean replied soothingly "I want you to share all your thoughts, feelings and doubts with me okay, so I can we can talk it through, and I can belay those fears"
Sam looked into Deans eyes and smiled "I want all that as well… with you... your so kind and romantic and just so amazing… how are you into me? How and I worthy of that?" Sam asked with tears in his eyes.
Dean chuckled at that "I wish you could see what I see when I look at you" He leaned in then and kissed Sam softly, letting their lips glide together sensuously causing a little moan to escape Sam's lips. "You're so cute and sexy, brainy and clever… how could I not" kissing him again.
"God…you are a very good kisser Dean… and you know… I do want to see myself through your eyes if that helps" Sam says with a smile
"That does help actually Sammy" Dean smiles at Sam "and you're a really good kisser too Sammy" he says giving him a small kiss.
They finished their meal and order desert, they share each other's desert choices and talk about anything and everything, they laugh together, in between kisses they cuddle, so when the waitress leaves the bill in one of those small black folder thingy's, they are surprised that their date is over.
When Dean goes to take his wallet out to pay, Sam protests with his own wallet and the wrestle a little and when Dean is somehow able to hold both of Sam's hands together with one hand and is able to pay the bill with his card in the other. "That was very impressive.. De" Sam says with flushed cheeks
"Oh, you liked that did you Sammy?" Dean asked slyly
"Yeah, I did… you're so strong De" Sam said as he leaned forward to give Dean a kiss
"Did we just find another of Sammy's kinks?" Dean asked with a gravelly voice
Sam's face went flush "I think so… I mean… I really like how strong you are and all your muscles" Sam replied rubbing his hands up and down Dean's arms.
"You're so adorable Sammy… let's just go back to your room and you can tell me all about it" Dean replies with a chuckle
They slide out of the booth, thank the waitress and make their way to the car. They drive back to the dorms and walk inside hand in hand, as they walk inside, they see a number of people gathered around the shared living space and as the boys walk over to Sam's room, they stop when the crowd parts to reveal Detective Speight was guiding a very disgruntled looking Sebastian with his hands in cuffs. When Sebastian notices Sam he tries to get out of Detective Speights grip "Sam!, tell them you know me, I just wanted to see you…" He yelled pleadingly
"Did you break into my room?! What the hell man, I told you I wasn't interested" Sam said angrily
"Oh, come on… why do you have to be such a bitch about it… my god, I know you want me Sam" Sebastian yells and tries to reach for him, and the crowd lets out a shocked gasp and started mummering to each other.
"Shut it Sebastian, you're not doing yourself any favours" Detective Speight yanked him away and pushed him towards the doors
Detective Benedict came up to them "So some of your dorm mates caught him trying to get into your room, he told them you were together and that he wanted to surprise you, they didn't believe him. Campus Security called us when he started to get a little abusive"
Sam shakes his head "This guy just can't take no for an answer… can I put in an official complaint… I don't feel safe in my dorm if he can just come around at any moment and break onto my room" Sam said seriously uncomfortable with someone just walking into his private space that he leans into Deans warmth. .
"Well, don't worry, we can write up an official complaint along with your statement and you can lodge it with campus security" Detective Speight said "This also gives us the opportunity to talk to him about your attack and if we get his statement, you can get a restraining order against him"
"I think that's a great idea, I don't want that sorry excuse of a man anywhere near Sam… especially when I'm not around" Dean said giving Sam's back a comforting rub "I'll talk to campus security about having someone on the door to make sure we don't have randoms just walking in, so you can feel safe again" Dean leant in and gave Sam a kiss on his cheek and rested his forehead on his shoulder.
"I don't feel safe, he's has literally forced himself on me and touched me without my consent twice, I don't want him anywhere near me" Sam said trying to hold back tears as the memories of unwelcome hand and lips on him threaten to pull him down into the darkness. Suddenly Dean was in front of him, there holding his hands to stop them from shaking and talking to him softly and soothingly to bring him back from the brink.
The detective stood and watched as Dean calmed Sam's anxiety "I'm sorry if I said anything to… cause this… I really didn't mean to" he said apologetically
Dean looked over at the detective and without taking his hands off the younger man he said "It wasn't anything that you said that triggered it, it was... Sebastian"
"OK… well I'm just sorry… I'm going to do everything I can, to stop this guy" Detective Benedict said looking at Sam who had his head tucked in to Deans neck then back up at Dean.
"I hope so, because I'm not leaving him alone until we can get this guy away from this place" Dean said rubbing Sam's back soothingly
"Well, I'm still trying to get proof that Sebastian had either hired someone or was he person to attack him, so I'll keep you posted" The detective said and patted his arm in reassurance as he turns and walks away.
Sam looks up at Dean after a few moments and sniffs "Thanks" he says softly
"What are you thanking me for?" Dean asks just as softly back to their conversation was just between them.
"Just for you being you… for being here for me" Sam says looking down embarrassed.
"Well… I wasn't going to leave you alone while you were having some sort of memory or flash back or whatever, you deserve someone to look after you" Dean runs his fingers through the fine hairs at the back of Sam's head in a soothing way.
"You're so good to me" Sam says softly
"Come on… lets go to your room and just relax together" Dean replied pulling the younger man gently towards his room and gets them both inside without breaking his hold on Sam.
