Supernatural Imagines

The Only Way (Dean Winchester)/ (Sam Winchetser) platonic

Summary: Dean leaves without telling you. You and Sam discover that he's planning on being locked up with Michael for eternity.

"Morning, or afternoon! Do you know where Dean is? He's not in in our bedroom or here, apparently" you and Dean were night owls and rarely woke up early if there's no case. Most of the time, when you woke up, he was still sleeping next to you and if he ever got a case or had to be somewhere, he'd tell you and kiss you before leaving. So, not waking up  next to him or him telling you anything made you wonder.

"It's almost evening, Y/n. Dean went to see mom" Sam informed you.

"In Minnesota?" you knew were she was, but wanted confirmation, since it's a long way from Kansas.

"Yeah" Sam nodded in confusion.

"When did he leave?".

"A few hours after midnight. Y/n, did Dean not tell you he was going to see mom?" he questioned.

"Not really, no, which is weird, because he usually tells me when he's headed out. Do you by chance know how long he's gonna stay there?".

"A couple of days, he didn't exactly say. I find it strange too. He hugged me before he left and you know that we don't hug unless it's the end of the world" he informed you.

"If he hugged you and didn't even tell me he was going, then there's definitely something going on. Did he take anything with him?".

"There was actually a bag, but I didn't see what's inside it. I think he went to the archive room before coming here. I'll go check it out, see if anything is missing".

"Then I'll check our bedroom".

"Y/n" Sam called your name from the other room.

"Is there something missing here, too?" you came to see.

"A couple of books. What's missing from your bedroom?".

"There was a photo of the three of us in a frame, now the photo is gone. Your brother and I are gonna have some serious talk. I hope he doesn't do something stupid".

"I'm coming with you. Neither Mom or Dean are answering".

"Let's just hope we're not too late".

—

"Y/n, slow down, you're gonna kill us" Sam wasn't happy with the speed you were driving  with.

"Calm down, I don't think speed is gonna be the thing that kills you".

The distance that was supposed to take seven hours, ended up taking three and a half hours, thanks to you. When you arrived the house was quiet and dark. They were either sleeping or not home. Suddenly Dean appeared and pointed a gun at the both of you.

"Hey, wow, easy! Dean what's going on here?" Sam put his lifted his hands in surrender.

"It's mom, she's gone" he informed you "Y/n what are you doing here?".

"I was worried about you. You didn't tell me, you didn't call and when I called you didn't answer".

"Yeah, sorry about that. I thought I told you" he lied.

"Do we have any idea where she could be?" Sam asked.

"Not a clue".

After searching the house and discussing where she might be, Donna called and informed Dean that she was kidnapped by Nick. Ten minutes later, she arrived and soon after she got a call, about a stolen car, which Nick was driving. The four of you headed to the location and found them. Nick has released a demon called Abraxas to know why he killed his family. All of you were disabled by him but Nick eventually kills him and you're able to move again.

The ride back to the cabin and when you finally arrived Dean confessed the truth.

"It's a Ma'lak box. Secured and warded. Once inside nothing gets out, not even an archangel. Especially an archangel" Dean showed you and Sam the box.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've – I've read about these, but no – but no one's ever – They're impossible to build" Sam said.
"Yeah, well, not so much".
"That's your plan? You want to be buried alive?" Sam wanted to know if he got this right, while you stayed quiet.

"Buried is not safe enough. Plan is, pay a little hush money, charter a boat to take me out to the Pacific. Splash" Dean explained.
"You and Michael, trapped together – for eternity?".

"Yeah".
"You do realize how insane this is, right?".

"It's the only sane play I've got. Michael gets out, that's it for this world. And he will get out".
"Well, how do you know that for sure?".

"Because I do. Because I can feel him in my head. That door is giving. I can feel it giving".
"But there has to be another way" Sam tried to stay hopeful.
"There's not, okay? There – Sam, Y/n you've tried. Cass has tried. Jack. And I love you for trying.  But none of it's gonna work".
"We don't know that".
"Yeah, we do" Dean sounded certain.
"What?" Sam didn't understand.

"Billie".

"Billie?" he was now confused.

"She paid me a little visit. She said that there's only one way that this ends right. And this is it – this, right here, this box. So she gave up the special recipe, and all I had to do was the work. It's fate" Dean was convinced that this was the only way.
"Since when do we believe in fate?" Sam questioned, knowing it's not like Dean to believe in such things.

"Now, Sam. Since now".
"So you came out here to see Donna, to see Mom on some-".

"Some what?".

" Some sick, secret farewell tour? You were gonna leave, and you weren't even gonna tell me. Me or Y/n. Do you realize how messed up that is, how unfair that is?-".
"I didn't have a choice! Sam, you're the last people I could tell, the last two people I could be around, 'cause you're the only ones that could've talked me out of it. And I won't be talked out of it. I won't. I'm doing this. Now, you can either let me do it alone or you could help me. But I'm doing this" Dean insisted.

"Y/n why are you quiet. Aren't you going to say something?" Sam needed your help to convince him.

"Sam, could you give us a second?".

Sam nodded and left the room. You were waiting for Dean to speak.

"Y/n don't give me that look. You can't talk me out of it".

"You think that's what it's about? Dean you left without telling me or saying goodbye and you were gonna do this alone. What happened to no more secrets between us?" you were disappointed.

"I'm not gonna apologize for this. It was for the best and if I could turn back time, I'd do it all over again, because I can't imagine myself saying goodbye to you. I can't watch you get your heart broken" he admitted.

"Is that supposed to make it feel better?" you tried to hold your tears back.

"I don't know. All I know is that I love you and I can't watch you get hurt or worse, be the reason you're hurt. And if Michael ever got out, he'll come for you and I can't let that happen. You have to understand".

"Well, if you're gonna do this, then I'm gonna get in the box with you, because I don't want to live in a world, where I know that you'd be suffering for eternity".

"Absolutely not".

"It's not your choice to make".

"Y/n, you can't".

"I can and I will. Unless you decide otherwise, I won't back off. If you ever believed in me you won't do this" you took a step closer and cupped his face.

"Please stop. I have to do this" he put his hands on yours.

"Not if we can find another way and trust me, we will. I just need you to believe in me. Give me a couple of weeks".

"I don't have that long".

"Then a couple of days. Try to hold on as long as you can and if that doesn't work, then I'll help you" you suggested.
"All right. I really hope you find something" he kissed your forehead and held you tight to him.
