Friends after all - Dean Winchester x Reader

Chapter 25

You fidgeted with your hands all the way to Sam's parents' house. It wasn't the worry you had over meeting them that had you on edge anymore. It was the fact that Dean had refused to come with you, but later on his own. You were not going to believe that he just had things to take care of with the garage. It was a lame excuse and you knew it. Sam did as well, and wouldn't buy any of it. What Sam didn't know about though was what had happened- or at least almost happened between you and Dean the previous day. You couldn't help but think that it had to do with that though. Hell you were scared he would do something reckless, push you away or maybe something worse.

"He was totally lying." Sam said through pursed lips and for the first time during this long ride you looked at him.

"You think?" you asked in a low voice and he nodded his head a little.

"I mean-" he ran a hand through his hair "-he tried to seem believable but it was all so fake. Like what the heck does he have to do with the garage at this time? And he had plenty of time yesterday too." he clenched his jaw, shaking his head.

"Sam" you whispered, taking hold of his hand. You could see how this was worrying him more than it should. In a way that showed how he knew or felt something. That deep down he knew it had something to do with... you.

It made panic rise up inside you and you gave his hand a squeeze. You didn't want Sam to doubt about you, in no way.

"I'm- I'm sorry (Y/n)" he let a small sigh, bring your hands up to kiss your palm "I shouldn't bother you. It's not your fault anyway. I will have a talk with Dean later."

"No." you swallowed, shaking your head "No, Sam. Dean is my best friend- he's family and I can't just stand and watch.Besides- Whatever is worrying you is worrying me as well. Your problems are mine too, now."

A small smile, despite the situation formed at the corners of Sam's lips "You are really amazing." he laced his fingers with yours, giving your hand a squeeze. He pulled you by you arm and kissed your forehead tenderly.

You let a small content sigh but pulled away for the sake of the both of you "Eyes on road, Samuel."

He chuckled at you and moving an arm he wrapped it around you, the other still on the steering wheel. You allowed a small smile to form on your lips as you rested your head on Sam's shoulder. Your eyes drifted up and your smile got bigger as you looked at Sam. You felt like a school girl staring at her crush who by the way had just told her he liked her too. You didn't know how you'd gotten so lucky – if you could describe it as that with the battle going on inside you – but you would not question it. At least for this week you wanted to be able to enjoy it, to enjoy what you felt for Sam to the fullest and have no single doubt cloud your mind.

Despite how Dean's thought would always find it's way to creep inside your mind again.

"And we've reached the Winchester's household." Sam said with a small smile, the car coming to a halt.

"(Y/n)?" a small perplexed smile was on his lips as he looked down at you when you didn't make a single move.

"(Y/n) did you hear me?" he asked, waving a hand in front of your face that made you blink.

"Oh oh sorry, what did you say?" you stuttered, pulling away.

"I said we're at my parents home but I guess you were too busy staring and daydreaming." a teasing smile was on his face and you felt your cheeks burn hot when you realized he had caught you.

"Shut up" you grumbled, hitting his shoulder and he laughed at you.

"Wait- we- we are there?" you blinked, your mouth hanging open as you saw the familiar house a few feet away from you.
