That's The Hunter's Life

Chapter 17

Halfway through the food Nova was cooking, being done Dean walks in, standing behind Nova and puts his hands on her shoulders.

"Mm that smells good. What is it?"

"Meatloaf, I almost thought about cooking mostaccioli but decided on this instead."

"Mosta-what?" He looked confused.

She giggled at his facial expression, "It's an Italian dish. It's almost like spaghetti but with melted cheese and these noodles that look like long little tubes."

"Ah okay." He nodded and kissed her cheek. "Well Meatloaf sounds and smells good." Then went and sit at the counter.

"What is that smell?" Sam inquired.

"Meatloaf." Nova said as she mashed the potatoes. "Then having mashed potatoes and green beans with it."

"Wow." Sam scoffed.

"What Sam?" She asked as she turned towards him.

"No, nothing it's just that's a lot of sodium and calories."

"You're such a girl sometimes." Nova joked as her and Dean chuckled.

"Well he does have the hair thing going."

"Seriously? Why because I like to eat healthy? For your information it's not only girls that do that too."

"I was only joking for fucks sake Sam! No one's forcing you to eat the food. If you have a problem with what I cook then don't fucking eat it!"

"And you've always had a problem with me eating the way I do! You constantly acted like I forced you to cook healthy foods when I didn't Nova!"

Dean stood between them and put his hands up towards them, "Okay, okay let's all just take a breather here before things get anymore out of hand than what they have."

Nova took a deep breath and let it out, "Yeah well he started it with his attitude."

"I don't give a shit who started it but it's over now."

"I'm sorry." Nova said lowly.

Sam didn't say anything and just walked out. Nova sighs and finishes up the potatoes.

"You want any help?" Dean asks.

Nova doesn't say anything and just shook her head. The buzzer for the oven goes off so before she could do anything he grabs the oven mitts and pulls the pan out of the oven.

"Thank you." It only came out as a whisper.

He puts the pan down on the stove, "Come here." He pulls her to him and wraps her in a hug.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

"Hey." He pulls her away and uses his thumbs to wipe the tears away from her eyes that threatened to fall, "It's okay, you two love each other and it's normal for couples to have arguments. But if you two truly love each other, fights like that can't keep happening or things will get worse for you two and I know you both don't want that."

"Yeah." She sighs and steps away, "Let's just eat before it gets cold."

He nods as she makes them a plate of food.

Later Nova felt bad because Sam had been in his room the whole evening so she made him a bowl of food and took it to him.

"Sammy?" She knocked on the door.

He opens the door, "What?"

"Here, I figured you needed to at least eat something." She handed him the bowl.
