Supernatural Imagines: Book One

Waiting For Superman (AU)

Characters: Sam x Reader

Warnings: Talk of always going on dates but never finding love, talk of desperation, but fluff at the end

Summary: Always going on dates, always thinking that the next one will be the one, never finding your superman. Until one day, fate has a funny way of bringing people together.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You've always been the one to fall in love too easily. You would go on a date with an amazing guy and think it went really well, only to either have them never call you or tell you that you just weren't the one. Each night ended all the same; you alone in your room, wondering what went wrong.

At first, you thought it was you, that you did something wrong and you would obsess over the date, trying to find out exactly what went wrong but you could never find it. If you never heard from the guy and you saw him on the streets one day, he would make up an excuse like his phone died or he got a new phone and lost all his contacts. You would believe all the excuses and tried to ask him out but he would just say that he either had a girlfriend now or wasn't interested.

You've always been a romantic, pawning over the love you see in the movies. You just wanted your Superman to sweep you off your feet. All this time, you were waiting for Superman to come but it was unrealistic. Things just didn't happen the way they happened in the movies.

She's watching the taxi driver, he pulls away
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days

She says, "Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late.
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape."
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name
Like Lois Lane
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles

Despite being let down every time, you still had hope that the next guy you went out with, he would be the one you stayed with forever. Getting out of the taxi, you smoothed down the sundress you wore, a smile on your face as you paid the driver cash for the ride.

"Whoever he is, I hope you have fun." The driver said, a knowing smile on his face.

"Thank you." You chuckled before watching him pull away from the curb. You agreed to meet at the park and you saw a bench by the street and took a seat. You looked at the time and realized it was still early. You had a few minutes to yourself before he would show up. Your brain was racing with a thousand thoughts, wondering if he would show. You've had men stood you up before. You didn't know what it was. Maybe you came off desperate or maybe you were ugly or something.

You watched people walk by you, always wondering if the men passing were your date. The third time you looked at your watch, you realized he was 45 minutes late. You sighed and looked down at your dress, playing with the ruffles.

"He's still coming, just a little late. He probably got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape." You said to yourself. Another 15 minutes went by and you knew he wasn't showing up. There's always next time, right? You thought to yourself as you flagged down a taxi.

"Hey, I remember you. Have fun on your date?" The same taxi driver asked you as you got in.

"Yeah, tons." You lied with a fake smile on your face.

She's talking to angels,
Counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers,
Falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, yeah, in his arms, yeah
Waiting for Superman
