holdmesamthatwasbeautiful:

It’s normal for them, these days, to allow their
fingers to twine when they’re in public. It finally comes naturally, after all
these years of hiding, to give each other a small kiss in the line at the gas
station; to ask for a king sized bed without blinking.

It’s just.

It’s just that sometimes, Sam can’t help hearing the
whispers behind them. The dirty looks they’re thrown in bars, when a rosy
cheeked Sam places a peck on Dean’s cheek. Sam feels their disapproval in his bones, and for someone like Sam who’s
spent his life yearning for normalcy but never conquered it, it hurts.

That’s when Dean turns to Sam and places one hand at
Sam’s neck. It feels warm and safe when Dean pulls Sam’s face down, fiercely protective,
and whispers: ā€œDon’t listen to them. I’ve got you, Sammy. We’re good, OK? I
love you.ā€

Sam kisses Dean. It feels so simple, so lovely; and
Sam thinks, Perhaps normalcy is subjective.

Like…. all of the hearts for SamJess

benevolentsam:

ā¤: who is more affectionate in public? in private?

In public, definitely Jess. She loves fussing over Sam, petting his hair and holding hands. In private, Sam is so huggy and clingy, just happy to have someone who loves him

ā™”: who is the bigger romantic openly? secretly?

I think Sam for both. Sam loves making these little romantic gestures for Jess. She’s his first real girlfriend and he this is the girl he’s gonna marry he wants to prove how much he loves her

ā„: who is more likely to plan something big for valentine’s day?

Sam! Like I said he never had a chance to do something big for anyone so he likes being able to treat Jess.

ღ: who is more likely to initiate hand-holding in public?

Jess. Sam gets a bit nervous about these kinds of things, but she’s so comfortable with it that even when Sam’s too shy to hold her hand Jess will do it

šŸ’•: who is more likely to make huge declarations of love in front of other people?

Neither of them are all about big declarations, but Sam has gotten in a few of their friends in on plans (he once got one of his friends who were in a shitty college band to write a song for her and play it when he took her out for their one year anniversary)

šŸ’˜: who developed a crush on the other first?

Jess won’t admit it, but she absolutely did. She’d seen Sam at a couple of parties, hanging around campus, and most importantly she’d seen him hanging out with Brady from her pre-med course. So she practically begged Brady to introduce them. Sam thought it was him who got a crush first, because he fell for her the minute that Brady introduced them, but like Jess had a good couple of months of stalking him beforehand

šŸ’: who spends more time (possibly overthinking) what presents to get the other?

Jess. She knows Sam never had a lot growing up and he’s not a very materialistic guy. She never knows what to get him and always overthinks it

šŸ’“: who initiates most physical contact?

Jess does in public, like holding hands and kissing. Sam is much more likely in private, sometimes he can’t keep his hands off of her. (sometimes that’s just a confirmation that she’s safe)

šŸ’Œ: who is more likely to send cutesy texts to the other?

Jess loves sending cutesy texts. All the heart emojis. Sam rolls his eyes whenever he gets them, but he saves them all because they really make him happy

šŸ’Ÿ: who spends time reading their zodiac compatibilities?

Surprisingly Sam. Sam has enough knowledge of the supernatural to know that nothing is just coincidence and that outside factors often play a bigger part than people realise. Jess thinks it’s a bunch of malarkey but goes along with it anyway, asking Sam what her stars for the day are

šŸ’™: who is more protective?

In a general sense, Sam is way more protective. It has something to do with his paranoia and what he knows about the supernatural. Every bump in the night, every shadow, and Sam is immediately up and separating Jess from whatever the threat is. But, Jess is super protective of Sam too. Some of their classmates are huge assholes, and people like to pick on Sam because he never fights back. Jess always stands up for Sam when someone starts calling him names

šŸ’š: who tends to get sick more often? who is better at taking care of the other?

Sam gets sick so often but doesn’t admit it. Thankfully, Jess is (as I headcannon) is in pre-med so he is in great hands. Jess absolutely loves taking care of Sam, even when he won’t admit he’s sick

šŸ’œ: who said ā€œi love youā€ first? or, if neither has said it yet, who is more likely to say it first?

Sam. He said it so quickly, after only a few dates. It was only a breathy whisper, barely loud enough for Jess to hear. But she did, and she said it back straight away

šŸ’›: who believes in soulmates?

They both kinda do. Neither of them felt this way about anyone until they met each other, and whether it was love at first sight or they were actually soulmates, there was definitely something between them
