"You seem a little too excited to be here, huh (Y/n)?" Dean looked at you through the rare view mirror, a smirk on his lips.
You rolled your eyes at him but a smile was on your lips nonetheless "It's just- I spent most of my years here, it's my hometown anyway" you shrugged, trying to play it off.
"And..." you started again "...I have some friends here that I haven't seen for so long that I- miss them"
"Friends friends?" Sam asked you with a smirk and you chuckled, winking but not saying a word.
"Here we are" Dean said suddenly, snapping both your attentions away, either he had caught on to what Sam implied and didn't like or the sign 'Mystic Falls' all of a sudden turned his mood for the worse. Yeah. Probably the first.
"Home sweet home huh?" Sam asked with a smile and you nodded your head.
"Sorta" you chuckled.
"Feels good to be back" you whispered mostly to yourself.
Dean smiled softly at you as well, his hand on your shoulder as he rubbed it softly. You could not deny that the small motion did make your heart flutter inside your chest and the butterflies go crazy. It was no lie to yourself at least(and Sam of course) that you had feelings for Dean every since you first met him. Sam liked to tease you about it sometimes but after a while he would understand that you got self-conscious and shy in front of him. Making it no easy task to express him you feelings.
"So we go straight ahead at the police station or take a walk to see fr ourselves how things are going?"
"Well, I have a friend at the police station. I know she could help us but- considering the time of the day I know a place where we will find most of the people and get much more information"
"Hm sounds good. And where's that place?"
"Mystic Grill-" you turned to look at Dean with a smile "It's a bar" and instantly a big one appeared on his face as well.
"Well, what are we waiting for then? Come on ladies!" he exclaimed like an enthusiazed little child, a wide grin on his face...
...after of course a major bitch-face from Sam.
~~~
"And this- is everybody?" Sam asked with a perplexed look on his face. The bar was not as crowded as he'd expect.
You chuckled "This is all the important 'everybody'" you said with a smirk.
"Are you sure?" Dean asked with a frown "Or is this just your way of taking me out and you just won't admit it till we're alone?" his smirk was wide and you had to hold yourself from letting it get to you- even if it already was. You felt your cheeks get hotter by the second.
"You'd wish Winchester" you rolled your eyes at him but at the same time tried to hide how it affected you.
He laughed, winking at you but said nothing more.
"Come on, let's have a drink first and then (Y/n) can talk to whoever she wants to later" you and Sam nodded at his words and you all made your way to the bar.
As almost every time Dean ordered a beer for each of you and Sam did not miss a second to open his laptop and start research, only this time-
Everything was much more different.
Sure it was yet another bar and just like every other time Dean would not stop flirting with the waitress making you both scowl to no end and at the same... hurt like hell. You had asked yourself plenty of time what you were doing wrong, what had you done for him to never notice that you were there but only choose other women, what had you done to lead him every night straight into other women's arms but not you. It was not as if you had tried very hard show him your feelings, truth was you'd probably die of embarrassment if knew how you felt about him, but could he at least not realize how bad this was hurting you?
