π€ during a hunt, you put yourself in danger to save someone about to be attacked and after you somehow make it out alive, dean rants to you about how stupid your actions were until he says too much. π€
protectiveΒ‘older!dean x hunter!reader(fem)
the car ride home after the hunt was almost unbearably tense. you knew dean was mad at you for putting yourself at risk like that but thatβs what hunters do. he does it in almost every hunt- so why is he getting mad when you do it?
the second you step foot in the bunker, dean immediately starts ranting to you. βyou couldβve died! you wouldβve died had i not found you last second! were you really willing to throw your whole life away for a stranger?β
you almost laugh when he says that. βoh because youβve never done that right? you never throw yourself in the way so you could save someone right?β dean turned to face you for the first time since you got home.
βthatβs not fair-β you cut dean off before he can finish his sentence. βno dean. what βisnβt fairβ is how if i do anything youβre so quick to criticise or turn it into a rant. the fact that i canβt do anything because you tell me itβs βtoo dangerous for meβ is unfair.β
he falls quiet, his hand coming to his face to pinch his temple. when he finally speaks his voice is low, barely a whisper. βlook, itβs different for you okay kid? i canβt- i wonβt stand by and watch you put yourself in dangerβ
you chuckle humourlessly, βthatβs what we do. you and i are the first people to know that being a hunter is dangerous. i mean itβs practically in the job description!β
βso you think that gives you a good enough reason to put your life on the line? just because me and sam have came back doesnβt mean everyone will.β deans tone was hard as he spoke. you chuckle again, almost bitterly, βright. mustβve forgotten you and sam are the universes favourites.β
dean scoffs at your words, βoh come on. donβt play that card. now that isnβt fair.β your sigh echos around the bunker βiβm just tired of you acting like iβm a little kid made of glass whoβs gonna crack on every hunt we go on. why do you care so much about this? it was a stupid βmistakeβ if thatβs what you think that saved an innocent womanβs life! and iβm still here!β
βyeah but you were close to being gone, kid.β deans voice was laced with something youβd never heard from him, β you donβt understand how dangerous this job is, iβve been doing it a lot longer than you have. if you hadnβt made it our of there alive, which you very really didnβt, yβknow where youβd be right now? in hell sweetheart. because thatβs where all hunters go.β
βbut iβm not there, iβm here so why canβt you just drop this whole thing? we both know you ranting to me about this is pointless anyways.β your voice rang through deans head. βi canβt βjust drop itβ okay? you donβt get it do you?β he sits down at the table in the centre of the bunker.
you flash him a confused look as to tell him to elaborate. βlisten kid, i care about you. a lot more than i should. and that scares me which makes the thought of loosing or even the thought of you getting hurt scare me a hell of a lot.β his eyes meet yours, looking down at him. βas if it wasnβt goddamn obviousβ he continues after seeing your shocked expression.
βand you chose not to tell me? why?β you sit next to him, now just a few feet away from him. dean almost laughs at that. βyou think it would be that easy? iβm old enough to be your dad. i shouldnβt have these feelings towards you, yet i continue to, no matter how much i try to push them away.β
your gaze and voice soften as you reach forward to place your hand on his. βwell youβre not loosing me anytime soon so you can stop worrying so much.β his face crinkles into a smile.
βyou promise?β you chuckle βpromise. and about the whole age gap, you think i care two shits about how old you are? i donβt know if youβve noticed but youβre hot. like really hot. age donβt matter to me as long as the candies till sweetβ
deans laugh runs through you βthen weβve got some talking to do kid.β he groans βsee, now calling you kid feels weird!β
a/n: okay so ik this is ass but do i care? no! i just need to post something im on my grind
