[Dean's a little (unsure) about this whole blindfold business for a moment, and shoots her the most skeptical look ever, but part of him thinks maybe he's signing up for some kind of kinky sex game, so whatever, he'll put it on without bitching.

He wonders idly, while standing there waiting for whatever this is, if maybe she's done some decorating or something while he's been busy dealing with Dad. Or... hell, he doesn't even know. She said it was a surprise for him, but...

The second she says music, his eyebrows lift beneath the blindfold, and climb even higher when he hears some insanely familiar chords that feel a lot like old friends he hasn't seen in a very long time]

... No freaking way. [And then the blindfold's whipped off and she's smiling and looking incredibly pleased with herself, her eyes sparkling as she unveils her little surprise, and he can only stare slack jawed for a second with a dumbass smile on his face.

This is probably the most thoughtful gift anyone's ever given him in his life, considering most

[incaution]

[That only gets her to look more pleased with herself, and she walks over to stand beside him.]

I know, I know. I'm pretty much the best person ever.

[She hasn't really ever seen him ridiculously happy before. She's seen him smile when he's sad, seen him smile when a joke is funny, seen him smile those lopsided lovesick grins at her when he doesn't know she's looking. But a smile like this?

This makes all of the annoyance and money she had to go through to get it for him worth it.]

I'm glad you like it, Dean.

[And really, she is. She already knew that making him happy makes her feel happy in return, but this particular instance is giving her a pretty amazing state of content. She leans her head up against his arm and smiles fondly at the music selection. She really is just the best girlfriend ever.]

Are you kiddin'? [He glances down at where she's cuddled up to his arm and slides his hand around her waist, so pleased that he's chuckling] I don't even know what to say.

[He turns his head to look at her] I love it. How'd you even-- [No, never mind, he doesn't even want to know yet] Nicest thing anybody's ever done for me. [that wasn't something like 'sell my soul so you can live' which Dean is not counting as... nice.

A chagrined thought strikes him.] Dunno how I'm ever gonna top this.

[incaution]

You don't have to top it. [She grins up at him, shaking her head. For once, Jo doesn't want to compete over something. Competing to top one another in the gift department would cheapen everything, and she doesn't want that.]

I know it sounds at least fifty different kinds of cheesy, but I like seeing you happy. It's one of those weird relationship things where seeing you happy makes me happy, and it's just a whole ball of nauseating happiness that makes everyone around us sick and disgusted.

'Sides, you sticking it out with me for this long tops pretty much anything I could give you, anyway.
