You watch Garth pull Dean into a big hug and Dean's smile is contagious as it makes you smile as well. You and Dean had helped Garth solve a tough case and now it was time to say goodbye and hit the road.
When they part from the hug Garth then comes over to you and gives you a big hug too. You close your eyes and let out a long sigh with a smile still gracing your lips.
"Alright we gotta get going," Dean says as he abruptly breaks the hug by gently grabbing your elbow and leading you both out the door.
You both slide into the front seat of the Impala and you lean your head against Dean's shoulder as he puts the car in drive. An hour passes and you notice that Dean has been acting strange ever since you left Garth's house. Usually he will have the radio on and the two of you will belt out the lyrics or he'll have his arm around you, but he didn't do either.
"Hey...what's wrong you haven't said anything since we left Garth's?"
"Just tired is all."
"No, something's wrong I know you Dean Winchester."
A moment goes by and Dean gives you no reply as he continues to stare at the road ahead of him with a stoic expression.
"Deannnnn," you say dragging out his name impatiently.
"You just seemed real friendly with Garth earlier giving him a long hug and all." Dean says to you while not taking his eyes off of the road.
"Really Dean, you mean to tell me that a small hug made you jealous."
You immediately cross your arms and shake your head back and forth in disbelief.
"You hugged him for like a minute straight I had to remind you that I was even in the room and pull you away." Dean exclaims with a heated tone.
"Dean...come on you know that you're my one and only. Garth is just a friend, and he's 'our' friend for cryin' out loud."
Dean seems to not have anything else to say as he grips the steering wheel with both hands still focusing on the road ahead.
"I love you." You say so quietly that you're not even sure if he heard you speak them.
He finally looks over at you with soft eyes.
"I think it's time that you know." You say looking down at your hands nervously until Dean takes ahold of your left one and brings it up to his lips for a quick kiss.
"I love you too. I've been wanting to tell you lately. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions."
"Just like a woman." You say as a comeback and he lets go of your hand to playfully ruffle his fingers through your hair.
"Oh shut up." Dean says looking back to the road with that heartbreakingly beautiful smile of his that you'll always admire.
