Dean x Reader - Normalcy? (Request)

You know how the saying “My boss is a monster.” Well in your case that was true. As you look down at the bloody mess that was once you’re worst nightmare you let out a sigh filled with relief and pain, you had lost your best friend to the monster lying lifeless at your feet only a few days earlier. Your heart clenches at the memory as you remember the past few days.

~Flashback~

Beep-beep-beep! Your alarm clock rang out forcing you to wake from an amazing dream where you were on some distant island lying on the beach soaking up the sun. “Alright already I’m up!” you yell out as you smack the top of your alarm clock causing a shrill sound to emerge from it. Eyes barely open you turn and give the clock an annoyed glance to see the time was flashing meaning sometime in the night you had lost power. You quickly grab your cell phone and opening it says, “Dammit!” You were an hour late for work; you doubted your boss would let you off the hook again. This was the third time this month that you had lost power and it was starting to drive you crazy. You knew the apartment building was old but you couldn’t beat the rent.

Quickly you pull your (H/L) (H/C) hair into a business style bun and made your way to your closet and put on a grey business suit. As you look in the mirror you let out a sigh at the mess that reflected back at you. You could tell how the day was going to go. Grabbing your purse and sliding your feet into a pair of business appropriate heels you quickly make our way out the door and head down the stairs only to see a group of people gathering around your neighbors’ apartment door. “What in the?” you say as you momentarily forget that you are late for work and start to peek around people to see what is going on. “Can you believe that some animal ripped Mr. Jennings throat out?” You hear a lady say as you eavesdrop in on their conversation. “That’s strange considering we live three miles from downtown.” The other lady replied as she noticed you listening in and gave you a scowl of disapproval.

You smile politely back at her and make your way around the onlookers when you make it to the doors of your apartment building the emts push you out of the way causing you to fall back and pull the sheet off the body they were carrying on the gurney making it visible for everyone to see the mess that used to be their neighbor. As you look up at the body you recognize the destruction that the EMT’s were calling an animal attack. Your eyes go wide and forcing yourself to stand you apologize and quickly make your way out the door and down the block to your job. You make it to work only to have the boss call you into the office. You let out a sigh as you set your stuff down at your cubicle and give your Best friend Myka a irritated glance.

She smiles as she say’s “Let me guess power went out?” You nod and she takes a drink of her cappuccino from Starbucks. “Don’t worry you weren’t the only one who showed up late,” “You were late?” You say a surprised tone filling your sentence. “My power was out too along with a few other people here. Good thing I have a back up alarm on my cell phone.” “Overachiever,” you say under your breath as you make your way to Mr. Dawson’s office. Knocking on the door you slightly open it to see him motion you inside as he was on the phone. You look around and see that there was something different about how his office looked today. Instead of it being the usual tidy office there were things scattered all around. You sit down in the chair opposite him and notice that he looks paler than usual, there were dark circles under his eyes and the faint traces of liquor lingered on his breath. His dark brown hair usually slicked back in the neat business style was lying messily in his face.

“Okay, _______ do you know why I called you into my office?” He says as he hangs the phone up and clenching his jaw looks up at you. “I know I was late Mr. Dawson and I don’t mind staying later to make up the lost time.” “Don’t worry about it just,” he pauses in mid sentence and clenches his jaw tighter making blood vessels pop out on his neck. “Are you okay?” You say as the hair on the back of your neck stands up. “I’m fine just get back to work!” He growls at you causing you to stand and quickly make you way out of his office and back to your cubicle. As you set down Myka peers over the divider between the two of you and says, “So, what happened?” You look up into her placid green eyes and say, “That was both weird and awkward and I never want to go through that again.” Myka nods as she twirls a strand of her burgundy hair in her fingertips. “I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed he was acting weird, oh I saw that the creepy old guy from your apartment building was attacked by some weird animal.”

The picture of Mr. Jennings lifeless body flashed through your mind causing you to cringe. “That reminds me; didn’t someone else die in your building a couple weeks ago?” You look up at her completely clueless and she rolls her eyes, “Really _______, are you that consumed by your work that you don’t even notice people dying around you?” You look down at the stack of paperwork that stood about a foot tall and said, “I don’t have time for much else.” “And this is why you don’t have a boyfriend, come on _______ you need to go out and have some fun, meet a guy, and possibly get laid.” You smile as she lowers her voice at the last part. “You’re such a weirdo.” Smiling she says, “I know but that’s why you love me.” Shaking your head you turn back to your computer only to have your cell phone ring out ACDC’s  “Whiskey on the Rocks” causing you to jump in shock.

“Jesus!” you say as you reach into your purse and pulling out your cell phone stare blankly at the name. “Are you going to answer that before or after Dawson calls you back into his office?” Myka says as she cautiously looks toward Dawson’s office then back at you. “What’s wrong?” She says noticing your expression. You take a deep breath as you answer the phone. “Hello?” “_______, Glad to hear your okay.” Rolling your eyes you say, “Hang on a sec.” you look toward Dawson’s office and then when you are sure he isn’t watching you, you head toward the employees break room and closing the door make sure you are alone. “Rufus, of course I’m okay why wouldn’t I be?” You say a little meaner then you meant to. “_______, I’m pretty sure that there is a rouge vamp living in your apartment building.” “Your point? I told you I was done hunting.”

“_______, look I know we didn’t part on the best of terms but you need to listen to me now. The vamp in your building has killed three other people in your building and I think it may be the same vamp from three years ago.” Clenching your jaw you say, “Like I said, I’m done hunting. I have a job now and I need to get back to it.” You go to hang up your phone when you hear him call out your name. Slowly you put the phone back to your ear and say, “What?” “Just in case, I have a couple friends that are going to come check it out. Their names are Dean and Sam Winchester. I’m sorry about Mark _______.” You feel tears threaten to fall from your eyes but quickly clear your head and say, “I don’t blame you Rufus, and I blame myself for not being strong enough to protect him. Thanks for the info though I’ll keep in touch.” Hanging up the phone you put on a happy face and walk back to your cubicle where you see Dawson flirting with Myka.

You raise an eyebrow at the two of them as you knew he was married and she had a fiancé that was in the Peace Corps. When Myka noticed you looking at her she straightened up and said, “Is everything okay?” You smile and say, “Yeah, just some family things. It’s all good.” “________, I have invited you and your coworkers out to Charlie’s pub down on seventh tonight so don’t work too hard.” Then he turns as head back to his office. You follow him with your eyes as they widen in amazement. When his office door is closed you turn back to Myka and say, “What the?” she smiles as she says, “I know right, but if he’s buying then I’m going that’s all I gotta say.” Rolling your eyes you quickly get back to work. A few hours later Dawson comes out of his office and says, “Alright that’s enough work for now everyone can go home.” You all look at each other in amazement but shrugging all gather your things and start to make your way down the elevator and out the door.

“_______! Wait up!” You hear Myka say and you turn to see her running toward you. “Figured we could walk home together.” You smile as you say, “Myka you usually take a taxi home is there some reason you don’t want to go home?” She smiles as she says, “Honestly I just want to raid your closet.” Rolling your eyes you two slowly make your way back to your apartment. “Wow look at that car!” Myka says as she points across the street to a 67 Chevy Impala. “I knew we were friends for a reason.” You say as you pull your keys out and unlock the door to your apartment building only to be stopped by two men calling out your name. You turn to see a tall guy with shaggy brown hair and the other guy was shorter with short light brown hair. “Can I help you?” You say as you look back and forth between them. “I’m Sam this is my brother Dean, Rufus called us and asked us to come down here.” “Yeah, this is my friend Myka.” Sam nods a hello toward her and Dean smiles as he looks the two of you up and down.

“Myka how about I call you a cab, I’ve got some family stuff to take care of with Sam and Dean.” Myka raises an eyebrow as she says, “Okay, but make sure to make it to Charlie’s tonight.” You nod as you walk over to the street and whistle for a taxi. One quickly makes its way over to you and saying a quick goodbye Myka hops into the taxi and you wave as it drives away. You turn back to face the brothers and let out a sigh as you walk back to the apartment door and unlock it. The three of you walk up the stairs to your apartment. When the three of you are inside you take your shoes off and toss your purse on the floor. “So what all did Rufus tell you?” You say as you turn back to face them. “Just that there are signs a vamp is after the people who live in your building.” You nod as you say, “Okay well I guess you guys can crash here. I have a guest room and then there’s the couch. Just make yourselves at home.” They nod and you turn and walking back to your room hears Sam say to his brother.

“Do you think she knows about Mark contacting Rufus?” You freeze in your footsteps as you hear Mark’s name. “Dude quiet she might hear you. How do you think she’ll feel once she realizes the vamp we’re after is,” Dean stops in mid sentence as he looks down the hall at your frozen form. You clench your jaw and turning toward them say, “Is this some sort of joke? Mark’s dead, he died a long time ago.” Sam look at Dean and Dean looks back at you and says, “Mark’s alive, he’s been watching you for a while. He called Rufus after the second murder.” You swallow a gulp of air and before they can saw anything else you run to your room and slam the door shut. Tears threaten once again to pour from your eyes but you hold them back by taking a deep breath and vowing that you would find this vamp, gank it and move on. You walk into your closet and reach into the back of your closet and smile as you see your old leather jacket hanging there. You quickly change into a pair of skinny jeans and a white tank top with a flannel over shirt.

You look back at your closet and sigh as you open the hope chest in the back and pulling out a machete you see a picture lying peacefully next to some old clothes. Reaching down you pick up the picture and holding it up to your face smile. You hear a knock on your door and you quickly close the chest. “Yeah,” You say without turning around. A few seconds later Dean comes around the corner and knocking on the closet door says, “Are you okay?” You stand and walking toward him say, “I’m fine why?” He raises and eyebrow as he says, “I don’t know maybe because you just found out your old boyfriend is still alive.” “Mark wasn’t my boyfriend,” Dean looks at you confused and you sigh as you say, “Mark is my brother, three years ago we were hunting a rogue vamp and he died defending me. Now you say he’s still alive that only means one thing, my brother is a vampire; and I have to kill him.” “I’m sorry from the way Rufus explained it, it seemed like Mark was your boyfriend.” You look at him and say, “Ew, that’s like saying you and Sam are boyfriends.” Dean’s face turned green and you smiled.

“Now let’s go get this vamp and make this building safe again shall we?” Dean smiles as you walk past him and head toward your front door. “Come on Sammy!” Dean says as you walk out the door and down the stairs. “So where are we going?” Sam asks as he falls into step beside you. “Well I do have plans tonight so you are welcome to come and then after that we can go look for the vamp.” “Oh, what do you mean?” Sam says as he reaches forward and opens the door for you. “Look I know you guys are here to do a job but I made a promise to Myka to be at this stupid party tonight. If you guys wanna come that’s cool but I understand if you want to do the job and get back to whatever it is you were doing before.” Before Sam can say anything Dean says, “As long as you’re buying the first round I’m in.” You smile as you start walking down the street toward the pub.

When you arrive you look around and find Myka dancing on the dance floor with Mr. Dawson and you roll your eyes and make your way over to the bar. “It seems your friend has a boyfriend.” Dean says as you order three beers. “Fiancé, actually but that’s not him. That’s our boss Mr. Dawson.” You say without looking over at them. Dean looks over at them and raises an eyebrow and opens his mouth to say something but Sam stops him by clearing his throat. “So changing the subject, how’d you do it?” You look over at Sam and say, “Do what?” He looks at the bar as he says, “Move on, you know after Mark died how’d you get out and become normal.” You take a drink of your beer and say as you let out a sigh. “I made my brother a promise that the vamp we hunted when he died was the last one. I would become normal get a job and move on. So I did just that.” You quickly down your beer just as Myka walks over to you and throws her arms around your waist. “I’m glad you came!” She says holding you tight.

You smile and spin your chair around so you can face her. I see you’re having a good time.” You say as you smell the alcohol on her breath. “How many have you had?” She scowls at you as she says, “I haven’t had that many!” Then she stumble’s backwards into a group of people almost knocking them over. “Oops!” Myka says as she bursts out laughing. “Okay I think you should go home.” Myka frowns at you as she shakes her head in disagreement. “No, I wanna stay!” “Myka you’re drunk come on we’ll take you home.” “I can take her home?” Sam says and you all turn toward him. “I’ll make sure she gets home.” After a look at Dean you nod and say, “Okay, Be careful.” You say as you write down her address and hand it over to Sam. “Oh yes big tall and sexy is taking me home! I feel like I have just won the lottery!” You laugh at your friend as Sam slowly coaxes her out of the bar and to a cab. “You look good when you smile.” You hear a voice say and you turn to see your boss standing next to you staring you up and down with a lustful look on his face.

You look at him confused and he smiles as he reaches up and runs a finger up your arm to your face. You open your mouth to say something when you feel an arm wrap around your waste and pull you away from your boss and you hear Dean say, “Sorry, she’s taken.” Your boss looks at Dean then back at you and you could almost swear you saw an extra set of teeth in his mouth as he growled low in anger. He quickly composed himself as he said, “That’s a shame. I’ll see you at work.” Then he turned a walked back to the other end of the bar and started flirting with some blonde haired girl. You let out a sigh of relief and then become aware that Dean’s arm was still around your waist. “Um Dean,” “Yeah,” He says as he finishes his beer and orders two more. He turns back to see you looking down at his arm. He smiles as he says, “Just in case he tries to come back over.” You half smile as you say, “Are you just saying that so you can hold me?” He smiles as he says, “What,” You raise an eyebrow and smile at him as he says, “Okay, maybe.” You let out a laugh as you say, “You sir are lucky my brother isn’t here.” You take a drink of your beer and let out a sigh.

“You wanna go?” Dean asks and you nod. After you split the difference and pay for the beers you and Dean slowly make your way back to your apartment. About a block from your apartment you hear a low shrill and turning down an alley way you pull out your machete from your leather coat and slowly make your way toward the noise. As you near the noise you see a man leaning over a girl’s body. “Hey!” You yell out causing the man to turn toward you. You gasp as you see your boss baring fangs at you. “I knew it!” you said as you race after him. “________, Wait!” Dean says behind you but you ignore him. You follow your boss as he runs away down the street. You lose track of him when you come to a dead end. “Dammit!” You yell out as you kick some trashcans. You start to make your way back toward where you left Dean when someone jumps out from behind you and grabs you, their cold hands covering your mouth to keep you quiet. You thrash around trying to free yourself from the vamp’s grasp when you feel teeth bite down on your collar bone.

You feel blood trickle down as his hand muffles your screams. All the sudden you feel the vamp being ripped away from your neck causing you to fall to the ground grasping your neck. Vision blurred you turn to see someone slice the vampires head clean off his shoulders. You feel helpless as the man who cut off the vamps head starts walking toward you. When he reaches you your eyes start to fill with tears, “Mark?” You say as your brother’s face comes into view. He clenches his jaw shut tight as he picks you up in his arms and heads toward the entry of the alley just as Dean rounds the corner. “Put her down!” Dean says as he holds his machete up at Mark. “Dean,” you say as you turn to look at him.

“Look she needs a doctor fast; you’ll find the vamp back there. Please let me pass so I can save her!” Mark yells out as he cautiously nears Dean. You turn back to your brother and smile as you reach up and touch his face. “Mark, I missed you.” Dean glances from you to the vampire holding you and says, “This is your brother?” Mark rolls his eyes as he says, “Yes I’m her brother now could we please get going so I can save my sister!” Dean looks past Mark to the vamp lying lifeless in the alley and nods. “I call an ambulance!” He says as he pulls his cell phone out of his jacket pocket. “Mark, why didn’t you tell me?” You say as you start to lose consciousness. “No! _________, stay awake!” Mark yells at you as he holds you tight. “The ambulance is on its way!” Dean says as he runs over to them. You turn to look at Dean and smiling say, “Dean this is my brother Mark, he’s a vampire.” Before you can say anything else you black out.

When you open your eyes you are in a hospital bed. You look over to see Dean laying his head on your hospital bed his hand wrapped in yours. You smile at him sleeping soundly and then remember that Mark had saved you and you turn to see him right as he walked through your hospital room doorway two cups of coffee in hand. “Mark,” you say your voice sounding hard and raspy. He walks over to you as he says, “Hey sis,” You scowl at him as you say, “Why didn’t you tell me?” He looks down at the two cups of Joe and says, “I thought it would be better if you thought I was dead. You moved on, you got out. That’s all I ever wanted for you.” You look down at Dean sleeping peacefully and say, “Is it done?” “I got one of the vampires, the other one is still loose but Sam, Dean, and I will deal with it. You need to rest and get better.” “How many days was I out?” He looks down at you and says, “Three days.” Your jaw drops as the realization that you were probably fired. Then it hits you, “Where’s Sam?” “He’s at Myka’s watching over her.” “Okay,” You look at Dean and hear Mark say, “He’s been there for three days straight, hasn’t left your side.” You smile as you reach over with your other hand and smooth his hair back.

“Will you cover him up for me?” You say as you look up at your brother’s worn out face. He nods and reaching into one of the cabinets pulls out a blanket and drapes it over Dean’s body. “How do you do it?” You say not meeting your brother’s eyes. “You mean how do I stay alive?” Turning toward him he sighs as he says, “I don’t eat people if that’s what you’re asking. I have a guy that I go to that gets me packets of donated blood.” You nod and then say, “Are you happy?” Letting out a sigh he runs a hand through his jet black hair and says, “I don’t like what I am but I have accepted it. I’m a vampire, I can’t change that but I can still save people. So that is what I do I hunt others of my kind to protect you and other humans.” You let out a sigh as you say, “Now that I know you are alive and that you are managing, I can live happily. Just promise me one thing, don’t become like other vamps. I don’t want to have to kill my own brother.” He simply nods and then sitting down in a chair beside you, you feel Dean stir next to you.

“Hey sleepy,” You say as he turns and looks at you. “How do you feel?” You smirk as you say, “Are you asking if I still feel like I was a vamp’s chew toy, then the answer is no.” He smirks at first then looking at my neck he clenches his jaw and looks away. You are about to ask him something when your cell phone rings. Mark grabs it and is about to answer it when you lean up and grab it from him. Opening it you place it to your ear and say, “Hello?” “________, help me! He’s got Sam tied up and he says he’s going to kill us!” “Myka!” You yell out as you sit straight up. “Oh my god ________, I’m scared!” Then all of the sudden she lets out an ear piercing scream and the line goes dead. “What is it?” Mark says as you rip your IV out and start getting out of bed.

“What’s going on?” Dean asks as he bolts up and grabs you before you can make it to the door. “Let me go Dean!” He reaches up and tilts your face to his and says, “______, Tell me what’s wrong.” Tears fill your eyes as you say, “He's got Myka and Sam!” Anger flashes through Deans eyes as he quickly releases you and turning toward your brother says, “Take care of her, I’m going after them.” Dean quickly turns and makes his way out the door and runs down the hall way. You turn toward your brother and say, “Get me out of here. I’m goin to help them.” Mark clenches his jaw and then nods as he pulls your clothes out of his back pack and setting them down on the bed turns and heads out the door. You quickly change your clothes and walking out of the hospital you quickly make your way to Myka’s apartment. When you reach it you see the curtains covering the windows and you clench your jaw in anger. Reaching into you jacket you pull out a bobby pin and walk up the stairs to Myka’s apartment.

You quickly pick her lock and slowly open the door to peek inside. You see Sam unconscious tied to a chair in the living room but no sign of Myka. After the door is open you cautiously walk inside and freeze as you look down to see Myka’s lifeless body lying on the floor her throat ripped out. You fight the tears as you run over to Sam and check for a pulse. You feel Sam stir under your fingertips and you let out a sigh of relief as you untie him. “Sam, where is the vamp?” You say when Sam opens his eyes. “________, what are you doing here?” You look down to see that Sam’s arm had been cut and blood was drained from him. “I’m here to rescue you. Come on we have to get out of here.” You say as you lean down and help him to his feet. All of the sudden you hear someone clapping their hands and you turn to see the vampire responsible for Myka’s death.

“How touching, it’s too bad Myka isn’t alive to enjoy this.” Anger starts to fill your body as you gently set Sam down and silently say to him. “Where’s your knife?” He shakes his head and you look around to see it lying a few feet away. “That vamp your friend killed was my maker; did you really think I would let you get away with that?” You stand up straight and smirk as you say, “Like I care, honestly I think your whole kind should burn for what they have taken from me.” You make a dash for the machete and grabbing it feel the vamp pull you back by your hair and throw you into a wall. Pushing yourself up you feels blood start to trickle down from your neck and you smile. You look back at you old boss and seeing his fangs drop as the scent of blood feels the room smile. You twirl the machete in your hand and say, “Let’s dance!” He rushes you and you move out of the way causing him to run into the wall. Before he has the chance to turn around you bring the machete to his neck slicing it clean off his body. You watch as his body falls lifeless to the ground and sigh.

~End Flashback~

All of the sudden you feel dizzy and looking down realize you have lost a lot of blood. You reach up and pressing your hand to your neck make your way over to Sam. “Come on let’s get out of here and call Dean.” He nods and pulling out his cell phone he calls Dean as you walk over to your friend and looking into her fear filled dead eyes your heart clenches. “I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you.” You lift her head up into your lap as tears fall from your eyes. A few minutes later Dean and Mark show up. After Dean sees that you are okay he runs over to his brother to make sure he is okay. “You just couldn’t wait could you?” Mark says as he leans down and wraps his arms around you. “I couldn’t save her!” You cry out into his chest. “Come on we need to get out of here.” He lifts you up into his arms and carries you downstairs and gently sets you in the back seat of a car. Moments later Sam joins you in the back seat still a little out of it from the loss of blood.

Then Dean and Mark climb into the front seat and we drive away. After we are back at my apartment Mark says, “Dean, I’ll help Sam upstairs, could you carry _______?” Dean nods and then opening his car door makes his way over to yours. Slowly he opens the door and kneeling down beside you says, “________, I’m sorry about your friend.” You swallow a gulp of air as you say, “It’s okay Dean, I wish I could’ve saved her.” Dean nods as he says, “I’ve lost some good friends too, I know what you’re going through.” You reach up and gently run your finger down the side of his face over his stubble and say, “Does it get any better?” Reaching up he takes your hand in his and says, “No, You just move on. Stay strong and save others.”

You nod and say, “Guess I’m gonna have to move again.” “If you want, you can join Sam and me.” You look down into Deans eyes and finally notice how beautifully green they are and smile as you lean forward and gently place a kiss on his lips. “I’d like that very much.” Then smiling he reaches down and lift you into his arms and carries you into your apartment where you pack your bags and say good bye to your brother who says he is going to go back to hunting vampires and protecting you from afar. As Dean, Sam, and you drive away from your apartment tears fall from your eyes as you say, “Goodbye normal, hello crazy hunter life that I love.” You look across the front seat at Dean and smile as he reaches across and takes your hand in his. Maybe being normal was too good for you? Maybe being a hunter was the only normal thing in your life and if you had to keep hunting at least you had Dean in your life to make it better.
