   ─         the  mirrors  surrounding  you  did  as  they  were  meant  to ,  reflecting  back  a  spitting  image  of  jensen  ackles    -    but  it’s  clear  something  is  wrong  from  the  moment  that  a  vision  of   𝘫𝘢𝘤𝘬  𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨  𝘨𝘰𝘥   strikes  you .    perhaps  it  was  a  passing  daydream  in  the  frenzy  of  the  funhouse .    you  reassure  yourself    -    you’re  𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐍  𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 ,   a   𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘺  𝘰𝘯𝘦   year  old   𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘  𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗙   whose  virtue  lies  in  your   + loyalty   &   + selflessness ,  although  you’ve  been  told  that  you  tend  to  be  quite   - short  tempered   &  - self  loathing ,  and you’re associated with  𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒆𝒔  𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅  𝒃𝒚  𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒔  𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔  𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏,  𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈  𝒈𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔  𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉  𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒚  𝒌𝒏𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒆𝒔,  𝒕𝒉𝒆  𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒓  𝒕𝒐  𝒓𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒆  𝒕𝒐  𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒓  𝒐𝒇  𝒂𝒏  𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆,  𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒅  𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆  𝒋𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒔  𝒂𝒏𝒅  𝒇𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒍  𝒕𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅  𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔  𝒂  𝒃𝒆𝒅 ,  by  those  around  you .    suddenly,  however,  you’ve found   𝐉𝐎𝐇𝐍'𝐒  𝐉𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐋   on  your  person    -    was  that  always  there ?     from  the  moment  you  leave  the  funhouse ,  memories  from  your  life  in   𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡   have  begun  to  return   -   leaving  whoever  you  had  been  before  in  the  mirror’s  reflection  behind  you .    you  can  almost  hear   𝚁𝙰𝙼𝙱𝙻𝙴  𝙾𝙽   by  𝙻𝙴𝙳  𝚉𝙴𝙿𝙿𝙻𝙴𝙸𝙽  following  in  your  wake .
hi  i  love  dean  winchester  so  stinkin’  much   ...   i  am  ....  so  excited .    he  deserves  a  life  where  he  wasn’t  hunting  monsters  all  the  time !    one  where  he  got  a  job   &   had  kids   &   is  just  living  life !    let  dean  have  a  life !
full name :     dean  henry  winchester . alises :   the  righteous  man .   the  sword  of  michael .   squirrel . age :   forty  one . gender & pronouns :   cis male ,  he / him . sexual & romantic orientation :    bisexual / biromantic . species :   human . identifying  marks :    multiple  scars  across  his  body .   some  looking  like  they  came  from  knives ,  others  from  guns .    his  memory  on  how  he  got  most  of  them  is  fuzzy
    ─        𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍  𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 .
i  will  try  to  make  this  short .    dean  was  born  to  mary   &   john  winchester   &   for  four  years  he  had  the  most  simple  apple  pie  life  a  four  year  old  could  ask  for .    in  1983 ,  a  demon  went  into  the  winchester  house  to  visit  their  newborn  son :  dean’s  younger  brother  sam .    when  mary  interrupted  the  demon’s  visitation ,  he  killed  her .   slashed  open  her  stomach   &   burned  her  on  the  ceiling .    dean’s  father ,  john ,  witnessed  the  terrible  end  of  his  wife’s  life   &   though  he  made  it  out  alive  with  both  sam   &   dean ,  the  event  would  irreversibly  change  him .
john  became  obsessed  with  discovering  what  it  was  that  killed  mary .   he  learned  to  hunt  the  supernatural   &  ruthlessly  trained  his  sons  to  do  the  same .    dean’s  toddler  life  of  toys  turned  into  tinkering  with  guns ,  his  warm  bed  into  dirty  motels ,   &   his  carefree  existence  into  only  worrying  over  his  younger  brother .    he  became  the  perfect  killer  but  it  took  a  toll  on  him .    his  father ,  far  from  perfect  even  before  this ,  became  harsh  on  dean .   molding  him  until  he  was  more  dutiful  soldier  than  he  was  boy .   dean  did  everything  his  father  asked  &  followed  his  every  order  with  blind  faith   &   even  then  he  would  never  be  the  perfect  son  to  john .    sam ,  on  the  other  hand ,  rebelled  against  the  life  john  gave  them .   though  dean  tried  constantly  to  settle  their  explosive  arguments  as  best  he  could  no  matter  his  thoughts  on  the  matter  at  hand ,  desperate  for  peace  between  the  two ,  he  still  couldn’t  stop  sam  from  running  away  in  the  end .    he  wanted  to  hate  sam  for  it  at  first ,  but  he  never  could .
years  later  when  john  went  missing  on  a  hunt ,  dean  reached  out  to  his  estranged  brother  for  help .   the  job  was  supposed  to  be  a  simple  one  but  after  coming  back  unsuccessful  to  the  tragic  death  of  sam’s  girlfriend  ( same  as  their  mothers ,  in  fact )   sam  entered  back  into  his  life  for  good .   
though  the  plots  of  both  heaven   &   hell ,  sam  &  dean  became  pawns  in  the  story  of  the  world’s  end .    the  apocalypse  slowly  set  into  motion  &  started  with  the  winchesters  at  the  center  of  it  all .    even  though  they  managed  stop  the  world’s  end ,  though ,  it  was  hardly  the  last  threat  to  humanity .    as  years  passed ,  the  brothers  found  themselves  thrust  into  apocalypse  after  apocalypse .     an  endless  cycle  that  they ,  eventually ,  discovered  was  god’s  doing  all  along .   they  were  simply  the  main  characters  of  a  never  ending  tragic  story  that  god  was  writing .    furious ,  the  two  brothers ,  with  help  from  their  rebel  angel  best  friend  &  the  half  angel  son  on  lucifer  himself ,  devised  a  way  to  defeat  god  for  good .    in  the  end  they  succeeded .   jack ,  the  mentioned  son  of  lucifer ,  took  god’s  place  after  his  defeat .    the  world  is  their’s  in  the  end .   they ,  for  the  first  time ,  get  to  choose  their  own  paths .
   ─        𝐀𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃  𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 .
there  was  still  a  fire  at  the  winchester  house  when  dean  was  four  years  old .    an  accident  this  time .    an  electrical  fire .     a  normal  tragedy .     their  mom  was  still  lost  but  dean ,  holding  onto  the  bundle  that  was  his  little  brother ,  watched  as  the  fire  fighters  pulled  his  dad  from  the  flames .     sitting  with  them ,  brother  in  his  arms ,  while  they  consoled  him   &    let  him  wear  their  helmets  would  always  be  a  far  more  comforting  memory  to  dean  than  the  ones  his  father  gave  him  in  the  years  to  come .    john  winchester  became  distant .   negligent .    borderline  abusive .    dean  did  his  best  to  take  the  bulk  of  what  their  grief  drowned  father  put  on  them ,  trying  to  shield  sam ,   &  gave  a  lot  of  his  life  to  helping  raise  sam  where  john  fell  short .   they  moved  around  a  lot ,  finally  settling  in  alucard  when  dean  was  around  seventeen .
when  he  was  a  late   teen  if  he  wasn’t  at  home  or  sneaking  out  for  a  smoke   &   some  girls ,   dean  worked  at  being  a  volunteer  firefighter .    it  was  something ,  he  thought ,  slightly  productive  to  do  with  his  life  as  it  was  already  obvious  to  him  that  he  wouldn’t  be  able  to  go  to  college  with  sam  still  needing  him  around .   at  age  eighteen ,  with  his  high  school  diploma  stating  he  graduated  with  average  grades ,  dean  officially  joined  the  fire  force  at  an  entry  level   &   began  saving  up  money  for  his  own  place .    a  place  away  from  his  father  but  close  enough  that  sam  could  use  it  to  get  away  at  any  time  as  well .   though ,  as  the  year  went  on ,  he  found  that  john  would  have  been  unlikely  to  allow  dean  to  live  under  his  roof  anyway .    
dean  was  notorious  with  women   &   thought  himself  as  careful  but  clearly  not  as  careful  as  he  thought .    when  he  found  out  he  was  going  to  be  a  dad  at  eighteen  he  initially  rejected  the  idea ,  wanting  nothing  to  do  with  the  child  out  of  fear  of  turning  into  his  father .    sam  was  the  one  who  talked  him  down  from  the  anxiety .   with  his  encouragement ,  dean  slowly  worked  to  learn  how  to  be  a  parent .   preparing  a  room .    reading  parenting  books .   anything .    it  came  as  a  shock  a  month  before  the  due  date  to  when  he  found  out  the  mother  was  backing  out  of  keeping  the  child .    she  had  been  the  one  initially  for  raising  it  at  first  but  suddenly  felt  she  couldn’t  do  it .    though  he’d  be  on  his  own ,  dean  had  steeled  himself  to  becoming  a  father  too  much  to  let  the  girl  to  go  up  for  adoption .    beverly  winchester  was  born  feburary  13th   &   dean  took  full  custody  as  her  sole  guardian .    he  kept  in  touch  with  bevery’s  mother  still ,  who  went  on  to  study  psychology  outside  alucard .
being  a  single  father  was  far  from  easy  but  dean  managed ,  always  taking  help  where  he  could  from  his  brother  or  from  friends .    one  friend  even  got  closer  than  others .    when  beverly  was  nearing  three  years  old ,  dean  started  seeing  a  foreign  exchange  student  from  england  who  was  taking  classes  at  the  local  university   &  the  casual  feeling  of  the  affair  wasn’t  there  for  long .    things  blossomed  into  something  serious   &   when  it  was  discovered  she  was  pregnant ,  this  time  dean  was  far  more  sure  about  things  than  when  he  was  twenty .     the  wedding  was  small    &   around  nine  months  later  dean  became  a  father  of  two  as  simon  joined  the  winchester  family .  
for  a  few  years  this  seemed  the  perfect  arrangement .    dean  worked  up  through  the  ranks  at  the  station ,  setting  himself  up  to  be  the  new  fire  chief  one  day ,   &   raised  his  kids  happily  with  his  wife .    but  perfect  sometimes  doesn’t  last  long .    their  relationship ,  after  all ,  had  been  a  rushed  one .    after  around  six  years ,  things  simply  didn’t  have  the  same  spark  as  they  used  to .     the  divorce  wasn’t  nasty ,  they  knew  it  was  a  mutual  thing ,  but  it  still  stung .     he  left  the  court  as  a  single  father  again ,  now  with  joint  custody  of  his  son .    he  didn’t  seen  simon  much  after  the  divorce .   shortly  after ,  he  &  his  mother  moved  back  to  england  which  dean  was  always  bitter  about .    though  simon  came  to  visit  sometimes   &   dean  called  whenever  he  could ,  he  always  felt  like  he  was  far  from  the  boy .
at  fourty  one ,  years  later ,  he’s  gotten  well  back  on  his  feet .    no  serious  relationships  seem  to  stick  but  at  work  he’s  finally  gotten  fire  chief .    he  misses  being  in  the  middle  of  the  action  sometimes ,  but  he  loves  his  job  nonetheless .     if  not  at  work  he’s  visiting  his  brother ,  the  bar ,  fixing  his  car ,  or  dedicating  time  to  beverly   &   simon  who  has  recently  moved  to  alucard  to  be  around  dean ,  much  to  his  delight .    as  his  life  is  coming  back  to  him ,  though ,  it  is  stressing  him  out .   the  world  was  already  dangerous  without  remembering  monsters .    he  feels  as  though  this  is  just  another  story  he’s  now  lived  out   &   isn’t  even  sure  whats  real .
  ─        𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑  𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 .

is  also  now  having  to  cope  with  the  fact  that ,  in  this  new  life  he  remembers ,  he  doesn’t  even  HAVE  his  kids .    closest  thing  he  has  to  a  child  there  is  jack   &   he  doesn’t  even  know  if  jack  is  okay .
still  has  the  impala  here .    can’t  have  dean  without  his  car .

while  he  mostly  works  on  his  car  himself ,  he  still  brings  his  car  to  the  garage  a  few  times  a  year  for  things  that  his  own  garage  doesn’t  have  the  tools  for .   they  know  him  there  from  his  recognizable  car .
his  father  has  been  alive  for  sometime  but  he’s  recently  found  out  he  died  from  a  stroke  in  his  sleep .   dean  is  stuck  between  the  duty  of  giving  his  father  a  proper  funeral   &  his  own  bitterness  at  the  man  for  how  he  treated  him   &  sam .     this  is  only  worsened  by  the  memories  of  john  that  will  come  back .
he  is  bisexual !   because  i’ve  watched  this  show   &   have  eyes !    i  know !    is  he  repressed   a  lot   &  hasn’t  exactly  had  an  offical  coming  out ?   also  yes !    doesn’t  mean  he  HASN’T made  out   &   gotten  with  a  guy  or  two  in  the  past .   just  means  he  never  felt  like  he  could  say  anything  about  it  all  growing  up   &   now  just  figures  it’s  too  late .
uuuuuuuuuuuuh   anyway .    i’ll  add  to  this  more  if  i  think  of  more .

Babysitter on Duty (Dean x Reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: The reader asks an old friend for some help.
Pairing: Dean x Single Parent!Reader
Word Count: 2.9K (Wow, this one’s a doozie!)
Warnings: language
Square filled: Single Parent AU for @spnfluffbingo2019
Author’s Note: I am aware that Sweet Home Alabama has only one barre chord, but for the purpose of making Dean look like a guitar extraordinaire, let’s pretend there are multiple.
Author’s Note 2: Ahahahaha look at the title it’s so fucking shitty forgive me
*Unedited, all mistakes are mine.*
You were sure it was him. Yup. Plaid, bowlegs, brown hair. It was him.
You still didn’t want to go up and ask him, or even talk to him, because you were sure you’d start crushing on him again.
You and Dean Winchester had worked on a chemistry project in high school together. It wasn’t the best, but it was whom you’d worked with that had made it worth the while. Dean was extremely sweet. So helpful. He didn’t know jack squat about chemistry, but he listened to you and tried to understand so you wouldn’t have to do all the work yourself.
One evening after working on the project till really late in the evening, he busted out his guitar and played some songs for you. His mother asked you to stay back for dinner, and so you did. He had an adorable younger brother who seemed too smart for his age. His mother was also very sweet, offering to drop you back home in the car.
Dean took it a step forward and walked you home. It was really lovely.
But that was where it ended. It was your senior year of school, and once the project finished, both of you got very busy with your own priorities. Sure, Dean would sometimes catch your eye in the hallways and smile, but that was it.
But you still crushed on him. You crushed on him hard.
So if you walked up to him now, and if he was still the sweet bastard that he was ten years ago, you were gonna be right where you began. Ugh.
Besides, you had to be at Mia’s school to pick her up in fifteen minutes, you couldn’t possibly wait and engage in small talk. So you picked up your coffee when they called your name and headed right out the door.
You drove to Mia’s school all the while thinking about your high school friends, namely Dean Winchester. Mia told you about her day as soon as she sat into the car.
Once she was done, you asked if she’d like to have a cupcake today.
“Yeah!” Mia said happily. “How come?”
“Well, everyone needs a cupcake from time to time,” you said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.
You drove back to the coffeehouse where you’d gotten your coffee from, secretly hoping you’d find Dean again, regardless of whether you were going to talk to him or not.
Yup. There he was. Still sitting in the same spot, his eyes glued to his laptop screen, one hand on the trackpad, other idly holding his coffee mug. You wanted to watch him for a few more seconds, but Mia was already tugging on your hand, dragging you to the display.
She pressed both of her hands on the glass, her eyes scanning all bakery products. She turned to you, “Can I get a cookie instead? No, a donut?”
You smiled at her endearingly, “Whatever you want, sweetie. But only one. Too much of anything is not good.”
“You taught me the word for that! Modelation?”
“Moderation,” You said, running a hand over her head, letting her take her time with her choice.
You turned around, wanting to look at Dean again. You weren’t going to talk to him, but looking wouldn’t hurt, right?
Except, when you turned around, you didn’t see him in his spot. Instead, you found him walking towards you. You started to panic, not sure what to say when he does say something. He was smiling, his arms held out slightly. “Hey, Y/N?” He called out.
You smiled, your mouth open, “Hi!” You said, waving stupidly. “Dean!”
“Wow, you look gorgeous!” He said happily, pulling you in for a hug. Once he pulled away, he ran a hand over the back of his neck, looking at you like he was awaiting a response.
“Aw, no,” you said shyly.
“Come on, look at yourself! How have you been?” He asked.
“Great, how —”
“Mama,” your daughter called out, moving her eyes between you and Dean.
You looked at Dean, raising your eyebrows. He nodded, ushering you to take care of her first.
“I’ve chosen what I want.”
“Come on, we’ll go get it.” You told her, turning back to Dean, “Give me a minute?”
“Sure, I’m sitting right here,” He pointed to where he was sitting earlier.
You scoffed in your head, like I need telling, you thought. You and Mia went over to the cashier, paying for the donut she had ended up picking. You asked Mia if she would be okay sitting with you while you talked to your old friend, to which she said she didn’t mind, as long as she got to enjoy her donut.
You made your way over to Dean’s table, holding Mia’s hand. “Dean?” You called out.
“There you are,” Dean gave you a toothy smile, motioning to the bench opposite him. “Please, have a seat. You too, darling!” He said, looking at your daughter.
He was so goddamn sweet, ugh.
“Her name’s Mia.” You said.
“Hi, Mia. I’m your mama’s old friend. My name is Dean.” Dean said.
“Hi, Dean,” Mia said, smiling too. Unlike you, she had absolutely no problems talking to strangers, and you weren’t sure if that was a good thing or not, considering she was only five.
Dean turned your attention to you after booping Mia on her nose, getting a giggle out of her. “How have you been, Y/N?” He said, his voice softer than before.
“I’ve been great. Well, kinda. Taking care of a five-year-old is no easy job.” You joked.
“Well, she’s gorgeous, just like her mother.” Dean nodded, making you blush. “I babysit for my brother sometimes. You remember Sam?”
“Yeah, how is he?” You asked, clearing your throat, trying to shake the nervousness.
“Hotshot lawyer.” Dean always had a different look on his face while talking about his brother. It was always a look of love. Of respect.
“Wow, that’s really amazing! What about you, Dean?”
“Just moved into town,” Dean explained, “Had an auto shop in Lawrence. I just needed a fresh change. So I decided to move. Still going to keep the shop.”
“Does your father still drive the Impala?”
“It’s mine now!”
-
Without realizing it, you and Dean had talked for a good hour. You were supposed to get back to work — which you did from home — at four, and it was closing in. It was Mia who had reminded you.
“Shoot, I should get back home.” You said hurriedly.
Dean shot a glance at his watch before looking back at you, a frantic look on his face. “Well, it was really awesome catching up,” he stood up as you did, “Would you like to catch a little more?” He asked, rubbing his hand on the back of his neck, “Not like — like, I don’t wanna — if you don’t have the time, we don’t — you know what? I just —”
“Dean,” you said, smiling as he fumbled with his words, “I’d love to catch up a little more. This was really lovely. How about lunch? Saturday?” You asked, acknowledging as Dean nodded. “You like burgers?”
Dean only smirked.
Whoa. Turns out, Dean really likes burgers. When you took him to the famous food truck in your city, he spent about fifteen minutes simply picking a burger. You watched as he devoured it, finding it adorable that he enjoyed his food so passionately.
Dean did get embarrassed a few times, though, suddenly remembering you were there, trying to regain composure and wiping at the corners of his mouth. You told him every time that it was okay with you.
After you were both done, you sat down at an outdoor table, bottles of beer in both your hands.
You enjoyed the quiet of the area for a few minutes before Dean spoke up, “You don’t have to stick around if you need to be back home. Your husband must —”
“I don’t have a husband. I raise Mia alone,” you said, tapping your fingers on the beer bottle.
“Oh,” Dean said slowly, a little surprised at your indifference. “Boyfriend?” He added nervously.
You chuckled lightly, shaking your head, “I wish,” you sighed.
“You wish?” Dean repeated back to you, a small smile on his lips.
“Yeah, it would be so much easier to take care of a child, then!”
Dean nodded for a few seconds before the expression on his face changed completely. “Wait, who’s with Mia right now, then?” He sat up a little straighter as if to show he was worried.
“Relax, Dean. I’ve got a babysitter.” You said, touching his hand briefly before wrapping it back around your beer bottle. “He’s expensive, but he’s good. He’s good with kids.”
Dean nodded again, taking in whatever you were saying, “I’m good with kids,” he said, his voice dropping a little.
You looked up at him through your eyelashes, “You are?”
Dean cleared his throat, “Yeah, I used to take care of Sam’s son all the time.” He looked around nervously for a few moments, before adding, “If you need me to, I can totally look after Mia when you need it. I also don’t charge,” he added the last part jokingly.
You laughed along, “Nice of you to offer,” you let him know.
“I’m serious.” Dean reaffirmed. “Anytime, give me a call.”
-
‘Anytime’ had come a little sooner than you had expected it.
An emergency had come into work, on a Sunday, and even your babysitter had said that he was going to charge you a lot more because you were calling him in on a Sunday.
So, hesitantly, to say the least, you called up Dean, seriously hoping he wasn’t joking.
Dean was more than willing. He showed up at your house half an hour after you texted him the directions, giving you enough time to make yourself presentable. He knocked on the door as you were putting your hair up in a ponytail. Holding the hair tie between your teeth and your hair in one hand, you pulled open the door, seeing Dean smiling at you from the other side.
You pulled your hair through the hair tie quickly, making way for Dean to come into the house. “Thank you so much, Dean,” you said, grabbing him by his sides out of gratitude.
“Oh, it’s no big deal,” Dean smiled, taking off his shoes. “I was gonna watch…” he began, stopping after realizing you were walking into the kitchen without listening. He followed you in.
“So sorry, I’m supposed to be at work in fifteen minutes, but I live twenty-five minutes away,” you shook your head, pouring yourself a glass of water. “What were you saying?” You asked, bringing the glass to your lips.
“I was gonna watch the game at my place, I can just do that here,” Dean rapped his fingers on the kitchen counter. “I can, can’t I?”
“Oh, totally. Movies, books, anything. But try to look after Mia a little bit.”
“Of course, that’s why I’m here, Y/N. Don’t worry at all. I really am—” He didn’t get to finish his statement yet again, because you were walking towards the living room, going over to pick up your bag and bid Mia goodbye.
“Be back soon, Mama,” Mia called, putting her little arm around your neck as you kissed her on her head.
“I will, sweetie, I think I’ll only be gone for a few hours,” You assured her. “Dean will be here to spend time with you.” You turned your attention to the man in question, “We have a guitar, Dean, feel free to use it.” You smiled.
“Oh, yes!” Mia said happily, “Guitar, please!” She asked Dean.
Dean nodded happily, “Anything you want.”
Mia seemed happy with that. Smiling one last time, saying goodbye to the pair, you made your way out the door, getting into your car and switching into work mode.
You were at work for a few hours, and by the time you were done with everything that needed to get done, it was closing in on lunchtime. You had not anticipated being here that long. When you made it back to your desk, you saw seven missed calls on your phone. All of them from Dean.
You called him back, packing up all of your stuff as you did.
“Y/N,” Dean said before you could say anything.
“Dean, sorry for not picking up. Anything you had a problem with?”
“Yeah, Mia had started to get hungry about an hour ago,” Dean began. You gritted your teeth, remembering that you had forgotten to tell Dean about meals altogether. Your earlier babysitter already knew everything.
“I’m so sorry, Dean,” you began, but Dean cut you off.
“It’s alright, Y/N. I just hope it’s alright that I made her some pasta. I found the right ingredients around your kitchen and I really didn’t want Mia to go hungry for long.”
You smiled, happy at Dean’s care for your daughter. He was still that sweet idiot that you were right to fall head over heels for.
“It’s perfectly okay, Dean. Thank you so much, you’re the best.” You told him, walking out of your office. “I’m on my way home. And before you say anything, you are staying for lunch, if you haven’t had anything already. I’m not taking no for an answer.”
Dean laughed. “I don’t have any plans, so sure.” He said.
“Great, see you at home.”
-
When you got home, it couldn’t have hurt your heart more to see Mia sleeping with her body leaning on Dean’s. Dean was also nodding off, halfway through watching Toy Story. They looked really adorable.
You were glad that Mia and Dean had taken a liking to each other. You didn’t know if things were going to go anywhere with Dean romantically, but you did intend on maintaining a platonic relationship with him otherwise.
You walked over slowly, pausing the movie before picking Mia up in your arms, letting her wrap her arms around you, nuzzling into your neck. You put a hand on the back of her head, carrying her to her room.
When you got back, you noticed Dean was sitting up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
“Sleep well?” You asked him, smiling. You walked over to the couch, sitting down next to him, taking your hair out of his ponytail. Dean only smiled. “I hope Mia wasn’t too much of a handful.”
“Oh, no, she’s a total sweetheart,” Dean told you, turning his body towards you. “She kept talking about how she wants a cat, though,” he said, grimacing, “Not sure how that’ll work with me babysitting, I’m allergic.”
“You only tell yourself that because you’re afraid of them!” You called Dean out, seeing him holding his hands up in surrender. You continued after a few moments, “Listen, thanks for babysitting today, you were a huge help. But I have a babysitter, I really won’t need your help again.”
“Didn’t you say your babysitter is expensive? Really, Y/N, I had a great time with Mia!” Dean said to you. “I mean, it’s totally your call, but don’t think I did it out of compulsion. Anything for a friend.”
You smiled, feeling warmth reaching your ears. You tried to divert your mind’s attention from the fact that Dean was being so fucking nice to you. “Pizza?”
“You know it.”
-
“Y’know, Mia was really happy with me playing the guitar,” Dean said, finishing off the crust of the last slice of pizza. “You play often?”
“I don’t get any time for it.” You said, sighing softly. Your legs were up on the coffee table, mere inches away from Dean’s. “I wish I did, though. I really enjoy it. I enjoy listening also,” you said, looking at Dean from the corner of your eye. “Shame I didn’t get to listen to you, though.”
Dean knew where you were going with this. “I’ll go get it,” he said almost immediately, getting up and walking towards your guest room.
Once Dean was back, he sat down on your coffee table, right across you. “I know you used to like Sweet Home Alabama as a teenager.”
You smiled, nodding, “You remember?”
“Of course I remember,” Dean winked. You felt something coil in your stomach. Dean positioned his fingers over the strings, clearing his throat dramatically. You watched as his fingers skilfully danced over the fretboard, barre chord after barre chord, looking at you continuously.
You joined him in singing, watching as Dean ultimately got up and sat down next to you.
As the song ended, Dean sighed, satisfied, setting down the guitar next to him. “I hope that met your standards, m’lady.”
“Totally, kind sir.” You said, your neck turned to look at him better. You looked into his forest green eyes, taking them in. Dean mirrored your gaze, and you had a feeling he had leaned in just slightly. Just a feeling.
Both of you stayed like that for what seemed like forever. Dean licked his lips, looking down to yours and back at your eyes. Your heart was beating a mile a minute, your breathing was shallow.
Dean whispered, “I was serious about looking after Mia.”
You nodded, feeling brave, leaning in to close the distance between the two of you. It was a ghost of a kiss before Dean took it further, pressing his lips against yours. His hand came to your neck, his calloused fingers rubbing softly. You pulled away before it could go any further, still maintaining close proximity to Dean’s face. “You might get to spend more time with me, too,” you whispered back.
Dean smiled shyly, “How could I pass up an offer like that?”

Season 13, Episode 1 (The One Where Blake K Doesn't Get a Rose)
Welcome back, Bachelor Nation! I’m super excited about this season of the Bachelorette (mostly because Rachel is not Nick Viall and will never be Nick Viall). You all know how I feel about Rachel (and that I knew she’d be the next Bachelorette since the first episode of last season), so I won’t wax poetic about her. Instead, I’ll just start this recap. Let’s go!
The episode opens with Chris Harrison talking about how much we all love Rachel. Duh. Obviously. Let’s move on. 
Rachel does some street dancing, plays basketball alone, “goes to court” (by which I mean she performs in an instructional video about what lawyers do as directed by someone who doesn't know any lawyers), flashes back to meeting gross Nick (complete with beignet eating and limo crying), takes a plane with her DOG WHOSE NAME IS COPPER (!!!), poses for some pictures, chats with some grandmas, and finally drives up to the mansion. 
Time to meet some guys! 
Pretty Boy Pitbull Kenny King is a wrestler. He is very sweaty and panty for a solid chunk of his intro video and has a very tall ten year old daughter. (Is Rachel ready to get engaged to a man who has a ten year old child and possibly be that child’s step mother?). He makes a pun about rings.
Jack Stone is a lawyer (like Rachel), is 31 (like Rachel), and is from Dallas (like Rachel). He talks about the passing of his mother while staring out at some water and then plays with a dog. 
Alex would like to let you all know that is not a meat head. He likes books and coding and learning and Rubiks Cubes. Ok? Those are things meat heads don't like! Only nerds like those things!
Mohit is a start-up guy. He loves dancing with his family in his living room. 
Alright. Here he fucking is. Whaboom -- a manboy named Lucas who frequently wears shirts that have cartoon versions of his own face on them. This guy is going to be either my most favorite or my least favorite.
Blake E (omega Blake) is a sports nutritionist and certified lunatic. He works out on the beach and talks about how amazing his penis is (by which he means it’s slightly below average). Fuck this guy.
Next up is Diggy, who loves clothes and has 575 pairs of shoes (or 1150 individual shoes). Diggy, you see, is a fashionista. He also has a dog, but we don't get to know how many pairs of shoes the dog owns. 
Josiah makes me cry. Top 5, easily. E A S I L Y . His older brother killed himself when he was younger and Josiah had to cut him down from the tree that he hung himself on. Josiah has an amazing story and is either this season’s winner or next season's Bachelor. 
A meeting of the minds commences. Among Rachel’s panel of advisors is Astrid (who I forgot about), Whitney (who everyone forgot about), nanny-having Corinne, dolphin lady Alexis, Raven (the true winner of Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor), beautiful princess Kristina, and Jasmine G. (the one who choked Nick -- big fan). Everyone loves Eric, Raven believes that DeMario is amazing (but Whitney thinks he’s THERE FOR THE WRONG REASONS™️), and some ill-advised voice likes Dean (the one who made the “I’m ready to go black and I’m never going back” comment). 
Time for the men to come out of the limo. Finally.
First out of the limo is Peter. He is wearing a nice jacket and doesn't say anything awful. Congratulations, Peter!
Next is Josiah, this season’s winner. He makes a lawyer joke. Smells like a wedding to me!
Out comes chiropractor Bryan. He speaks Spanish and looks like a much more attractive version of my neighbor. 
Kenny calls her “Pretty Rachel” and then dances with her. I am overcome with grief. 
Rob doesn't get much of an introduction, but who cares?
There is also a man named Iggy. Diggy and Iggy. Fine.
Bryce, the transphobic firefighter, lifts Rachel off of her feet. Get out, Bryce.
Next out of the limo is Steve Urkel, followed by Stefan Urquelle. His real name is Will. As in when Will this end?
Here comes Diggy, who loves The Devil Wears Prada. He makes a pun based off of his name. 
Kyle shows Rachel his buns. Who is Kyle?
Blake K (alpha Blake) talks about his grandparents who recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Big fan of Blake K. Huge.
Brady shows up with a sledge hammer. He is immediately terrifying. He “breaks the ice” at which point I feel he should be lead away from Rachel with his hands behind his back. He is also possibly wearing lavender lipstick. 
Dean, who made that cringe-worthy comment when he first met Rachel, is shaking and grinning. Rachel lies about loving the comment. This is your season, Rachel. You do not have to lie to anyone.
Here comes Eric, my first round draft pick. Now I find him boring. 
DeMario, who brought plane tickets to Vegas to his first encounter with Rachel, looks forward to more “first moments” with her. His confidence is overwhelming. 
Gross Blake E arrives with a marching band. Do less, Blake E. I implore you. (Side note: Blake E’s hair is straight up disgusting).
Let’s make misogynistic comments about Rachel! A smart and funny woman? How is that possible? No woman has ever been smart AND funny! There must be some sort of catch! Several men’s heads explode. 
Fred, who knew Rachel in elementary school, brings a yearbook. Rachel remembers his bad behavior. I sincerely hope he becomes this season’s Liz the Doula. (Miss you, Liz!)
Jonathan, the tickle monster, makes me scream into a pillow. If anyone ever tried to tickle me upon meeting me I would actually knock them out. Not appropriate, creepy Jonathan. 
Lee, whose guitar lets me know it’s alright to hate him, wastes no time in introducing himself as a monster. He is a self-proclaimed singer/songwriter, and a me-proclaimed douchebag.
Alex the Mensa genius brings a vacuum because why not?
Milton, who literally admitted that he wanted to be discovered by a talent agent, takes a selfie with Rachel. Bye!
Adam brings a mannequin named Adam Jr. Adam Jr. (AJ) will more than likely compete on Bachelor in Paradise because Rachel hates him. AJ is left in the corner where he conspires against all of the other men in the house whilst Jonathan tickles people. 
Matt is a penguin. Can’t wait until Alexis decks him on Paradise. 
Grant arrives in an ambulance. 
Anthony is wearing a beige suit. Different!
Jamey is unsavory upon first sight and unsavory upon further inspection.
Jack Stone has a great (crocodile) smile. Maybe he uses it to bite people. 
Mohit makes some kind of comment about her having the upper hand. Is he a dom? A misogynist? Both? Neither? Where are his dancing family members?
A man whose legal name is Jedidiah quotes a Bible verse about crying. He is not wearing a full suit. 
Michael brings a brownie. I pick him.
The men wonder who will go crazy. Here’s Whaboom. He is contractually obligated to show up when someone says “crazy,” “maniac,” “Whaboom,” or “testicles.” He turns bright red while yelling and carries a megaphone. Can't wait until he’s full drunk.
All 31 men (and 1 mannequin) are now in the mansion. Time for Rachel to like actually kind of meet them, but not really because chances are they’ll speak with her for like 10 minutes each and continuously steal her from each other. 
Josiah tells Rachel his story, but she's only kind of buying what he's selling. It’s ok. They just need time to fall in love.
Dean and Rachel build a sand castle together. Dean, the youngest man in the mansion, thinks this is cute. Rachel is his babysitter.
Rob brought a baseball card with Rachel on it. 
Anthony would like to understand Rachel.
Eric and Rachel dance again, but the spark is gone. 
Someone gave AJ a glass of champagne. He is a child! He cannot drink! 
Matt the Penguin asks if Rachel prefers Michael Jackson or Prince while AJ (who, like a clown, is hilarious and terrifying) (mostly terrifying) professes his love for Rachel in French.
Rachel remembered Fred the moment she saw him. He’s the top 5 guy who makes her feel comfortable, connected to her past, but he won't win. 
Bryan steals Rachel. He is mature and handsome and surely top 5 material. His confidence, unlike DeMario’s, is endearing because it’s over-the-top in a funny way. You can tell he doesn't really believe all of these things about himself. (I hope). Rachel and Bryan kiss. She didn’t want to kiss anyone tonight, but says that she enjoyed him. 
The first impression rose is brought out. Everyone starts sweating (and drinking). Let’s be honest. Bryan is getting the rose. No one else spent that kind of time with Rachel. And, as a first impression rose winner herself, she knows who’s real and who’s fake. 
DeMario talks a lot, according to Josiah. Rachel is impressed by his confidence. 
Jamey mentioned that his suit cost $2,000. He is Gob Bluth and I was right to hate him.
Men swarm Rachel. She is starting to get nervous. Cancel the season! Send everyone home! Let Rachel have fun in the mansion by herself. 
Mohit is drunk and can't seem to find the right way to steal Rachel. 
Rachel tells Peter that she doesn’t like chocolate while Whaboom narrates through a megaphone. 
Blake E hates Whaboom so I officially love Whaboom. I would very much like to see Whaboom deck Blake E. I would very much like to see anyone (especially Rachel) deck Blake E.
None of these men seem to realize that they can only have a few minutes with Rachel. There are 31 of you and her time is more valuable than all of yours combined. Get with the picture. 
I also just realized that Alex brought a vacuum because when we first met Rachel during Nick’s season she danced with a vacuum. Fine.
“Cash me outside, how bow dah?” asks Josiah. Oh, Josiah. I was rooting for you. 
Kenny brings up his daughter -- his favorite person in the whole world. Maybe I was wrong to judge him. He’s a good father. 
The first impression rose goes to Bryan because duh. Mohit gasps. He is the DGAP.
it’s finally time for the first rose ceremony!
Roses go to: 
- Normal Peter
- Will Urkel
- Smiley Jack Stone
- Slimy Jamey
- Forgettable Iggy
- Dance Machine Eric
- Confident DeMario
- Jonathan the Creep
- Transphobic Bryce
- Alex the Mega Genius
- Kenny the Wrestling Dad
- Baby Dean
- Matt the Penguin
- Anthony (and his eyebrows)
- Brady the Lip Gloss Aficionado
- Josiah the Future Winner 
- Hatable Lee
- Fashion-forward Diggy
- Fred from Camp
- Adam (but not Adam Jr, which is rude)
- Blake E who is more than likely sticky 
and last, but certainly not least
- Whaboom (because this is reality television)
Roses do not go to:
- Bland Rob
- Drunk Mohit
- Forgettable Kyle 
- Blake K (who actually voluntarily left to see his grandfather in the ICU -- i.e. the true winner of this season)
- Grant, who was not on this episode
- Bible-quoting Jedidiah
- Milton, who will never get the chance to be famous now (FIRST CRY OF THE SEASON)
and
- Brownie-bringing Michael
Alright, the season has begun. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will beat the crap out of Blake E? Here’s to finding out!
