newport, oregon

Ana is heading back to her apartment she went to the grocery store to get some food, for dinner. She has lived in Newport, Oregon, for little over a year, as she always wanted to live out west. She has since she was a little girl. So that is what she did, she had saved up throughout her life just to get a crappy apartment in the city.

It isn't uncommon to hear noises in the apartment as her apartment is haunted but far as she knows the spirits that resided her are harmless spirits. But in the supernatural world sometimes that comes far in between. Just as she got up the stairs to her third-floor apartment, her paper bag full of groceries fell out of the bag. She let out an annoyed sigh, when she saw a third hand is when she freaked out. Last time that she checked she has two hands, not three.

When she looked up, she didn't expect to see Dean Winchester standing in front of her. When she saw it was Dean, she jumped back, as her eyes widened. When she saw his famous smirk that is when she wanted to punch him in the shoulder. But she didn't, even if she wanted too so bad.

She caught her breath, as he held her groceries that fell in his hands. "What are you doing here?" She breathed out as she carried the now ripped grocery bag in her hand, as she grabbed her keys.

She heard Dean's footsteps behind her, the slightly heavy footsteps behind her let her know that he was following her. "For starters dad, doesn't know I'm here." Dean says as Ana let out a laugh, Dean gave her a small glare, but he had his smirk still on his face. "Second of all, I want to talk to you."

Ana let out a hum, but her curiosity was getting the best of her. She unlocked her apartment door, as she let Dean in, then she closed it. He walked towards her kitchen before setting the groceries that were in his hands on the counter. "Nothing bad. Just nothing that I could say over the phone."

Ana put her stuff on her couch, as she walked towards her kitchen, she looked at Dean's face for a moment. Before she passed him and began putting her groceries away. "About what?" She asked as he sighed, as she handed him a container of berries, and he opened the fridge and put them with the left-over berries that were in the fridge.

Dean was hesitant about answering not knowing how she would react to it. Ana slowed down when she didn't hear Dean say anything. It was slightly worrying her if she is being honest. Her eyes slowly met his as her anticipation was slowly rising. "Dean?" Ana asks as Dean opened his mouth, but no words came out. They were caught in his throat, before he even said anything.

He watched her as she put her hand on his shoulder, as her green eyes looked at his, her emerald, green eyes staring into his. He could get lost in them forever if he could. When he felt her touching his shoulder, he leaned a little in her touch. He eventually found the words that he was trying to say that didn't want to come out. "It's about us."

When he said that, Ana's body froze not expecting him to say that. Seeing Ana react like that, he knew it was to be expected, but it still hurt a little. "It's nothing bad, Annie." Dean says using the nickname that he came up with. Dean is the only person who can call Ana, Annie. It makes her heart flutter when he said that. "I love you, Annie. I always have you are my best friend. My ride or die. I would die for you if it came to it. I love you so much, with all my heart. I love you, baby."

"I love you too." Ana tells Dean which made him smile before his face froze when he realized what she said.

'Wait, what?' Dean was screaming in his head at what she said, as he thought that she was lying and or kidding. Or just saying that. He didn't know, and now his head was starting to hurt of him overthinking it. "Wait, you do? You actually like me? You're not kidding, right?" Dean asked as Anastasia shook her head, no.

"I love you, Dean, I always have always will." Ana says to Dean which makes his stomach bubble in a good way. Out of all the girls he's been with, Ana will always forever have a special place in his heart.

Ana leaned forward and brushed her lips against Dean's. He cupped her cheek, and he leaned down to kiss her bringing her closer. He closed the gap between them. He had his other arm around her waist. The kiss was nice and slow, as they were both testing the waters between the two of them before it got too heated. He didn't want Ana to feel uncomfortable during this.

He lifted her up into his arms and carried her to the couch without breaking the kiss. Once he laid her on the couch and she adjusted herself on the couch, Dean pulled away from the kiss to look at her in the eyes. "You sure about this?" Dean asked her not wanting her to be uncomfortable.

"Yes, I am."

That was all Dean needed to hear as he crashed his lips onto hers, as his hands were on her waist, holding her close to him. She had her arms around his shoulders, playing with the little hairs on the back of his head. He broke the kiss enough to go down the side of her face just underneath her ear as he nipped that area, which made her moan.

"God, I love that sound babygirl." Dean grumbles into her skin which made her shiver a little at the feeling of Dean's lips touching her skin under her ear.

After their make out session they panted from the adrenaline. Ana went from laying down on the couch to being on Dean's lap. Which she wasn't entirely complaining. It didn't get too far except for Dean leaving a couple hickeys on her neck and collarbone. Dean didn't want to push her boundaries, which is fine.

"That was good, Ana." Dean says as Ana nods her head as he kissed her lips again, before they both pulled away with small smiles on their faces.

"That was awesome." Ana says as their foreheads touched.

"It was, babygirl." Dean says as he had his arms around her waist keeping her close.

"You can stay the night if you want?" Ana asked Dean as he kissed her cheek. "I take that as a yes, then?" Dean then softly brushed his lips over hers as it was slow.

.....

a couple days later

.....

It has been a couple days and Dean still hasn't left, not that Ana has mind. It makes her quiet nights in the apartment not so bad. Dean has moved the little stuff that he had into Ana's apartment. He would take local hunts within the area of Portland and or the Oregon state area. The farthest that he would go to is a couple states over. But he would try to come to Ana as quickly and safely as he can.

Ana had convinced Dean of letting her hunt with him. He was hesitant but he knew that she wouldn't back down as she would still find a way of talking him into letting her hunt either way. Whether that meant her bribing him of letting her come with him.

John never knew where Dean went for weeks, as they went their separate ways. Mainly because John, Dean and Sam had got into a huge fight and the brothers had gone their separate ways. Sam went to college and Dean went to Ana. That is what Dean had told Ana. Which she doesn't blame the brothers of leaving their father, as John isn't the easiest person to get along with and or talk to. That are the multiple reasons why Ana doesn't like the man. Yes, she has her own list.

.....

two weeks later

.....

Dean and Ana have finished a hunt of a spirit who was killing people who lived in her home and disrespected her. Dean and Anastasia got back to her apartment as Ana is stitching up a wound that Dean had as the spirit had cut him with a blade.

After Ana got the first aid kit, as Dean was letting her do this. Mainly because where he got cut he couldn't do it by himself. Anastasia got a washcloth wet of cold water to get some of the dried blood off Dean's shoulder.

Dean winced when the coldness of the washcloth touched his shoulder, as for now Ana was holding his other hand more so to reassure him that it is okay. She was also trying to reassure herself.

"Glad you didn't get banged up worse otherwise I would be at this all night." Ana joked again trying to lighten the mood. Which is a coping mechanism of silence. Dean thinks it is cute. Even if it isn't the right timing in some scenarios, he thinks that it's cute as he will sometimes pick on her about it, as a joke.

Dean had a ghost of a smile on his lips at her trying to lighten the mood. He nodded his head at what she said. "Thank God, because I need sleep, in an actual bed. As much as I love Baby, I really do, sleeping in her isn't exactly a five-star hotel." Dean says about his car which Ana couldn't help but agree more. As it isn't wrong. If isn't exactly a five-star hotel for sleeping. Mainly because of the cold leather.

Ana let out a small chuckle as she rubbed her thumb on Dean's wrist as she is trying to distract him from the coldness of the washcloth. Once the dried blood was cleaned off, at least for the most part. Ana put down the washcloth, which had some slight blood stains but nothing that a little bit of bleach can't handle.

Ana grabbed another washcloth and dabbed some rubbing alcohol on it before she looked at Dean as now, she is going to disinfect the cut. Which she never wants to do, mainly because it stings like hell. Dean knew what she needed to do as he nodded his head letting her know that it is okay. She gave his hand one last squeeze as Dean held in a breath knowing what is going to happen as she then put the washcloth on Dean's wound. He let out a hiss at the sting which made Ana look up him. Despite the sting from the rubbing alcohol on his wound, he gave her a nod as to reassure the two of them. He put his free hand onto her shoulder.

After a couple more dabs of the rubbing alcohol on his shoulder and Dean wincing every time which is to be expected as this is what happens when he disinfects his wounds. Luckily, Dean's cut didn't need stitches as that would hurt even more than the rubbing alcohol on his arm. Ana put the first kit, into the bathroom as Dean hopped off the counter. He grabbed his shirt that is now slightly bloody shirt and the two wash cloths that Ana had used for his wound on his shoulder.

Ana came back with a thing of painkillers, and she tossed the bottle at Dean and with his uninjured hand he caught it successfully. He then opened it remarkably well, and he put the capsules in his mouth before he downed it with a nearby whiskey bottle.

"Thanks, Annie." Dean says as Ana nods her head at him.

"You would do the same thing for me. Don't worry about it, D." Ana says as Dean smiled a little as she has always called him 'D'. Like how he always calls her 'Annie'. It is something that the two of them do around each other.

Dean nods his head as he knows that she is right as he would do the same thing to her. Even if both of them are capable of cleaning their own wounds, they wouldn't let each other do them by themselves. That is how they care about each other, as it is both of their love language, along with Ana comforting Dean when he needs it.

"Yeah, I would, even if I have to hog tie your ass to a chair just so that I can clean you." Dean says as Ana isn't wrong as she is stubborn when it comes to her own wounds. She is independent when it comes to her wounds, but if it involves anyone else, she will jump to helping them.

"Whatever." Ana says as she grabbed the bloody shirt and the two wash cloths that she used on Dean so that she can wash them. Ana also threw in a small load of her clothes that needed to get washed to add on to the three things that she needs to wash.

When Ana came back Dean was on the couch scrolling through the channels on Ana's TV. Nothing was eye appealing just some shows that had confusing titles. Ana got bored and also slightly hungry, at eight at night so she decided to fry up some bacon. As if Dean could smell bacon from a mile away (he probably could, along with pie), he turned his head towards Ana who is in the kitchen frying to some bacon for a weird night snack choice, but she could care less.

May not be the healthiest snack choice but even Dean wasn't complaining. Bacon is his favorite food as he calls himself the 'meat man', which makes Ana giggle at the ridiculous name but she knows it's true. He clicked on a random movie not really caring what it is. He put the remote beside him on the couch which was oddly comfortable. He got up and walked towards the girl in the kitchen. Ana was too busy focusing on the bacon as she didn't even flinch when Dean wrapped his arms around her.

He put his chin on her shoulder as her burgundy red hair is in a messy bun as she has some wispy hairs on the sides of her head. Which makes her look even more cute. He kissed her exposed shoulder as she's wearing a tank top. She smiled a little as Dean had his arms comfortably on her abdomen, but where she still has enough room to move around. Ana leaned a little on Dean's chest as he kissed her shoulder again.

"Bacon smells good, Annie." Dean says which makes her smile even more. He knows how much she loves being called 'Annie'. Given the fact that is what he has for her contact's name in his phone, so it makes sense.

"Almost done, D." Ana says as Dean hummed as he took a piece of the bacon to 'test' or and make sure it's not poisoned. Which of course, wasn't. It was safe to eat. He had to make sure, even if he knows that Ana wouldn't poison him. He could never be too sure. "Bacon thief."

Dean looked at her with an innocent smile on his face as Ana shook her head at Dean playing innocent especially when he is anything but innocent. "D." She says slightly scolding him like a child who got caught doing something they weren't supposed to do. Which in Dean's defense he wasn't supposed to be eating the bacon as it's not done.

Dean batted his eyes a little which made Ana shake her head again at his antics of trying to prove to be innocent. She couldn't be mad at Dean for being a bacon thief. She put the rest of the deliciousness on the plate where the other bacon is. "You're lucky, I love you, D." She says which made him smirk at her, as she playfully rolled her eyes at him.

"What I wanted to make sure that it wasn't poisonous, Annie." Dean says in a guilty tone with a fake pout on his face which is making him cuter. Ana shook to head as she couldn't hide her smile from the corner of her lips. No matter how much she wanted to scold Dean like a child, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Though, it would be funny as hell if she actually did it. She had Dean wrapped around her finger so bad that it wasn't funny.

"Would I actually poison you?" Ana asked a as she grabbed the plate of bacon before Dean could get any more. More like before the 'bacon thief' strikes again.

"I mean if I give you a reason to you probably would." Dean says which isn't wrong as she probably would do it, if he gives her a reason to poison his food.

"Don't piss me off then." Ana says to Dean as he saluted her as Dean gave her his best innocent smile that he could muster. Even if she knew that he was not innocent at all. Then again it is Dean Winchester. What do you expect. Course Dean isn't innocent. Go figure.

"Noted." 

Ana walked towards the couch as Dean followed behind her as his mouth was slightly watering and not from the bacon but how Ana's clothes had fitted snugly around her hourglass figure, and the way her shorts were going up and down her legs was making his mouth water, at wanting to taste her. Ana sat down on the couch, as Elf was oddly enough the movie that Dean had clicked on randomly. When it wasn't even Christmas, it wasn't even June yet. It was the beginning of April.

Dean sat beside her, as she put the plate of the bacon in between them, more so using Dean's leg as a table for the bacon. She leaned her head onto his shoulder as he had his left arm over her, keeping her close as she ate the bacon. He couldn't help but not look at her when she was eating, as when she gave him a side-eyed look that's when he looked away from her. Shit. Knowing that he got caught looking at her. But then he went back looking at her, like he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. It was almost like she was teasing him, which kept turning him on.

It was like she knew that he was staring at her, practically ogling her, and she did nothing about it. The way that her tank top showed enough cleavage before he saw her shorts were just barely on the bottom of her butt. Her outfit alone was turning him so on, that he was starting to get even harder. When he saw that slow teasing smile it slowly made his eye twitch from him wanting to pin her onto the couch and eat her alive literally, but he was barely holding on. He doesn't know how much more teasing that he can handle, before he snaps.

When the movie eventually ended, Ana maneuvered to get off the couch, when she finally stood to her feet, her shorts showed just a little bit of her butt cheek which was only making it worse for Dean. It got so bad that he had to close his eyes to stop looking, then he heard the soft padder of footsteps of her moccasin's brushing against the floor as she walked to her kitchen.

It was like she knew that she was turning him on, without saying anything. All it was turning him on, and the teasing that she was doing to him. He then heard the soft clank of the plate that she used for the bacon go into the sink. He brushed a hand over his hair as he sighed a little that she was gone. That was sort of a good thing. Because he doesn't know how much of this teasing that he could take. But he misses her being on his lap, as he is leaving marks on her neck, claiming her as his.

As she is his.

He was desperately trying to keep his thoughts to himself, otherwise she'd know, and that is what he doesn't want to happen. At least not yet. When he turned his head towards the kitchen where she was just before, she was gone. Then he heard the sound of the washing machine lid being open, and then the dryer door being opened. Moments later he heard the sounds of the dryer starting, as she was putting the small load of laundry in the dryer.

Then he saw that she didn't come back, like he had wanted her to, so he got up looking for her like a lost puppy that didn't come back to their owner. He knew it was pathetic how he was acting but he would seriously follow her like this for as long as he is on this earth alive and breathing. It is so terrible how bad enough she has him wrapped around her finger, that it isn't funny. If she tells him to do something, he'd do it no questions asked, but when he asks her to do something, he is damn sure that she'd say something sarcastic and witty. That is how she is, and how she's been. She might look all sweet and innocent, and a virgin, but he knows that deep down, she is most definitely not innocent.

He saw that her bedroom light was on, which made him confused for a moment, then what made him jump slightly was hearing the water starting in the bathroom, which meant that she was going to take a shower. He wanted to make it obvious that he wasn't A) following her, B) wanting to join her in the shower. It was a struggle to do both, but he managed to control himself.

When the water stopped and the shower door being opened, that's when he snuck a peek at her bare body, as her back was facing towards him. His mouth gaped open at the sight of her slight curves on her body, and her beautiful five-foot two figure. It made him want to eat her out, but he held against it. 

He quickly left making it less obvious that he was watching her, but little did he realize was that she saw. He made it to the couch, and moments later she came out into view wearing a hoodie and what looks like short shorts underneath her hoodie, but he could he wrong. "Okay, I know you were watching me, Dean. You're too obvious." Ana says calling him out on him trying to make it less obvious that he was indeed looking at her. 

He looked up at her giving her a look which only made her smile innocently. "Okay, and? What you going to do, stop me?"

"Well, no." Ana says to Dean as he just raised an eyebrow. "Just don't make it obvious." Ana says to Dean, as her smile slowly grew. 

"Here, I am getting flirting advice from you of all people." Dean says as Ana let out a giggle. "Since, when do you have flirting advice?" He asks her.

"Well, genius. First of all, I am friends with you for some reason...that and we somewhat grew up together. I was bound to learn something, somehow."

"That and how many boyfriends did you have?"

"Only a couple and some of them barely lasted a month." Ana says defending herself.

"What was the longest relationship you had?" Dean asks.

"Why are you asking? Mr. Flirting with everyone at school." Ana says.

"Just a question, feisty." Dean says.

"I guess probably three months, it was a summer fling, and then at the end of summer we broke up." Ana says to Dean. "More like I broke us up." She says to Dean.

"Wow, you broke up with them. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?" Dean jokes, as she rolls her eyes slightly.

"Keep it up mister, and you can be the next one I kick the curb." Ana says semi seriously, which made Dean's smirk slowly drop.

"Yes, Ana." Dean says guilty like a child, being denied something that they want.

"Good boy."
