Valentine's Date for startswinging

[electrokinetic]

Elle had been more than a little nervous getting ready for their Valentine's Day date. She had never planned something like this before. She had asked for advice from other girls and gotten some suggestions, but eventually, she decided on just trying to do something simple. They had both been a little awkward before going out, so she thought maybe it would be nicer if they just stayed in this time.

She had met with Claire earlier this week (not Sam's Claire, but the other one) and she had helped show Elle how to cook dinner for Dean. The first few tries hadn't gone very well, but she finally had gotten a batch okay. She had kept it simple, cheeseburgers and homemade french fries. She was pretty sure he'd prefer that over something fancy anyways. She hoped so.

She wanted them to have a nice time, things had been a little rocky for both of them lately, and she just...wanted to have a nice time. Besides, this was her first time celebrating with someone.

Even though they were staying in she had still dressed up, wearing a nice red dress. She had blow dried her hair, letting it frame her face with a small curl.

She was lighting the candles she had placed out on her table, occasionally glancing at the clock now, waiting for him to arrive.

"I know, believe me." He rolled his eyes with a playful smirk. "You make it hard to forget."

Dean was easily led into the kitchen. Wherever there was food, that's where Dean would want to be. When he saw the way the room was set up, he ducked his head a little to hide the smile. No one had ever done something like this before for him and it wasn't exactly his style, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't like it. Just as long as it wasn't like this, with the candles and all that, all the time. But with Elle, he knew it wouldn't be.

He pulled on her hand to bring her closer to him, giving her a quick soft kiss. "You're spoilin' me."

Elle was glad for his approval. She had been worried that maybe she had gone a little overboard, but she couldn't help herself. She never really got the chance to celebrate Valentine's before, or any holiday really, so she had wanted to make the most of it. It wasn't like she was going to start doing it all the time or anything.

She returned the soft kiss with one of her own and a playful smile as she pulled away with a small zap. "Just as long as you don't get too used to it," She teased playfully.

Dean had to snort at that. There was no way he would want to get used to something like this. He would much rather veg on the couch with her or something similar. But he could deal with doing it once every now and then. "I won't, don't worry."

With one more kiss on the cheek, he moved to the table to sit down.

"Just making sure," She called back with a shrug of her shoulders. She filled with the bottle of champagne for a moment or two before finally managing to pop the bottle open. She poured them each a glass before sitting down at the other seat.

She brought the glass to her lips and took a sip, wrinkling her nose a little at the taste. "I think I prefer my girly drinks."

Dean was so glad she had said that. As she was opening the bottle, he had been staring at it like it was about to grow limbs and attack them. Champagne was in the list of girly drinks that he didn't like. But she had put in effort to do this, so he picked up his glass, inspecting it like as if he was looking for a bug or something in the liquid, and then shot half of it back. He wrinkled his own nose at the taste. "I definitely prefer whiskey or beer."

"I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future," She laughed a little sheepishly. "In movies and stuff this is what they usually drink for romantic dinners...but it's really kind of gross tasting." Definitely not something she was going to bother buying again.

"Thank god we're not in a chick flick, then." He shot back the rest of the champagne, wanting to get rid of it before he dug into the food. Which is what he did straight away to get rid of that taste.

"Good thing," She laughed, taking another sip of her own champange before setting the glass down and digging into her own food. At least that tasted pretty good, even if it was kind of overdone.

The food was amazing in Dean's mind. Even more so because she cooked it for him. It might not have been the best, but the best had been diner food. So it wasn't the same and as far as he was concerned, it couldn't be compared to this. He would never say that thought process out loud. "This is freakin' amazin'."

Elle beamed brightly at the praise. She was so glad he liked it. She'd never admit how nervous she had been that he wouldn't. But instead she just grinned up at him. "I'm glad you think so. You should see what I bought for after dinner."

Dean stopped his bite of the burger midway at that. His eyebrows were raised, eager to know what it was. "What's for after dinner?!"

"It's a surprise," She said with a smirk. She couldn't resist drawing it out a little longer. She was sure he would like it though, and that's what was important.
