It was 2:30am, and my first day training with Dean and Sam tomorrow...Well...Today I suppose. Luckily we didn't start until the afternoon, but fuck if I wasn't annoyed at the fact I wasn't currently fast asleep dreaming about rainbows and cotton candy. With a melodramatic sigh I sat up and tiptoed out of my room, managing to make it just outside of the bunker without too much noise, the fresh air a jolt to my active senses.

I looked up and smiled softly, seeing all the stars scattered around in the sky with the tiny sliver of a moon peeking over the buildings in the distance. I remembered going star gazing all the time as a kid. A pang of longing sliced through my heart. Longing to go back to that innocence of being a child, and having my family. It had been a couple months of living with the Winchesters, who'd taken me in after I had nowhere else to go thanks to being orphaned by a couple of blood thirsty demons.

Everyone was wonderful here however. Dean Sam Cas and Jack all treated me like family, and had been nothing but supportive and kind. I'd been grieving and in pain, still was, but I was motivated to start training now. I wanted to learn how to fight and protect myself, and figured it would give me a distraction, plus something to do other than wallowing. Maybe this would actually be a healthy way to let out the anger and pain that I felt at my loss.

The door to the bunker creaked open, causing me to jump in surprise. Maybe I hadn't been as quiet as I thought while sneaking out here. A figure walked out and I locked eyes with Jack. Jack and I had grown close, he was nothing but sweet and whenever I was with him, the pain of loosing my family dimmed just a bit.

"Hey...Are you alright? I heard you come out here. It's late, how come you aren't sleeping?" He asked gently, closing the door and making his way over to sit beside me, eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of concern.

"Sorry," I muttered. "I hope I didn't wake you I just couldn't sleep. Figured I'd...I dunno-" I cut myself off, and looked down. "Star gaze," I finished, lamely.

Jack's head tilted upwards as he looked up at the sky, studying the infinite span with an intensity that seemed almost out of place. "It is quite beautiful," He commented and focused his attention back onto me.

A warm fondness spread over my chest and I smiled a bit. "Yea," I agreed and leaned over to gently rest my head on his shoulder.

Jack seemed to freeze for a split second before relaxing. "You sure you are alright?" He repeated.

"I-...I think so. I'm just restless. I think I'm too wired to sleep," I shrugged a bit with a little snort and Jack chuckled at me, the sound music to my ears.

"Perhaps we could go for a walk? It's a nice night, and it maybe once we come back you'll be tired," He offered.

I sat upright once more and hummed softly. "That sounds really nice actually," I stood and stretched briefly before offering him my hand and pulling him up to his feet as well.

Our hands remained together for a few moments, but I forced myself to let go, a light blush coloring my cheeks. "C'mon," I mumbled and started down the road.

We walked in silence for a bit, and as peaceful as it was, my brain was too active for it. A lightbulb went off however and I took out my phone, scrolling through my music before picking an upbeat song to play.

Jack watched me, eyes crinkling with amusement. Then the little ass hole had the audacity to go on and say "I enjoy when you play your music," which left me a flustered mess.

"You...Do?" I stuttered out, pocketing my phone and letting the sound of oldies create an ambiance.

Jack smiled even wider and nodded. "It's nice,"

The gravel crunched beneath our feet as we continued our walk, the sound mingling along to the voice of Frank Sinatra. The song ended and Elvis' blue swede shoes began to play through the speakers.

"Oh yes," I perked up, swaying my head to the beat. "Check this out," I wiggled my brows at Jack, doing the Charleston and doing a couple spins along with stupid jazz hands to top it off. I got the desired reaction though, Jack's eyes brightening with laughter. I laughed with him. "You think you can top those sexy moves?"

Jack playfully shook his head at my antics. "I don't know, I have never tried. Show me again, maybe I can figure it out,"

In conclusion he could not figure it out. He attempted the Charleston but was surprised at how much coordination it took. We had another good laugh though.

"Well, maybe you could teach me over time," He suggested and I nodded.

"Oh I'm sure you'd make a wonderful student," I nudged his side and he grinned.

We continued walking for a little before we figured it was probably best to head back. I was feeling much more at ease, and a drowsiness began to trickle into me causing a yawn to escape.

"So the walk worked then huh? Think you'll be able to sleep now?" Jack spoke up. I gave a nod of confirmation, a second yawn preventing me from speaking. Jack seemed satisfied with this answer and placed a hand on the small of my back.

The tough sent shivers down my spine, bringing me to a halt. Jack's hand instantly dropped. "I-sorry...I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," He said quickly.

"Uncomfortable? With you? Never," I whispered.

We'd both stopped walking, but it wasn't because we were at the entrance to the bunker. It was because like lovesick puppies we'd gotten lost in each others eyes. I swallowed thickly, throat suddenly dry.

"Jack?" I whispered.

"Yes Y/N?" He responded just as quietly.

"I- um...Thank you. For keeping me company," I finished, too chicken to say what I really wanted to say. Jack seemed to deflate a little but offered a slight smile.

"Of course,"

I pressed my lips together. Did he...Did he feel the same about me as I felt about him? My heart pounded as I continued to look into his beautiful golden eyes. I took a breath and gathered my wits. I was going to tell him. I had to.

"I..." My stupid nerves acted up again, but before I could opt out for the second time, I blurted. "Can I kiss you?"

A brilliant smile spread over Jacks face and he let out the most adorable giggle. "I would like nothing more,"

Relief surged through my veins and I beamed, reaching up to cup his cheeks, surprised by how soft his skin was. I leaned forward and pressed our lips together. The feeling was even better than I could have imagined, and I knew this was the start of something incredible for us.
