“I don’t deserve you.”
 
Dean was a wreck. Four days he’d been camped in Lisa’s house, nearly all of that time drunk, unable to talk, unable to tell her what was wrong with him.
 
And she still hadn’t kicked him out.
 
Instead she had sat beside him and pulled his head against her shoulder, and rubbing his back, murmured, “Shh, shh, you’re safe here.”
 
***
 “I don’t deserve you,” Dean murmured into Lisa’s neck as he nuzzled that delicate spot under her ear.
 
“Mmmm.” Lisa pressed tighter against him and shortly Dean wasn’t thinking about anything other than the feeling of being with her.
 
***
“I don’t deserve you,” Dean laughed as Lisa handed him the paper plate loaded with one of Sid’s masterpiece hamburgers and potato salad and an ear of butter-loaded corn.
 
She flashed him an impish smile. “I’ll think of something … maybe you’ll have to cook all next week.”
 
Dave from across the street shook his head. “Lisa is one helluva chick. Wish I had your charm…”
 
Swallowing the perfectly cooked bite of burger, Dean replied, “My charm had nothing to do with it.”
 
***
“I don’t deserve you.”
 
Brilliant green eyes met chocolate brown ones and Dean knew that Lisa understood the unspoken ‘but I’m glad you’ve ignored that’ end to his words. For the first time in … well, maybe ever, Dean was being given the chance to not have to choose between what his heart wanted and what his mind demanded.
 
“I’ll call every day … and,” he said it before she could, “I’ll be careful.”
 
***
“You don’t deserve me,” Dean muttered as he snapped his cellphone shut, not leaving a message. “You deserve so much more than the shit that comes with me.”

I really, really hope she hasn't given up on Dean but it doesn't look promising.

I will not be able to cope this.
I wanted so badly that Dean would have his own family. :(

Me too. Why does he always have to be the one sacrificing?

That just broke my heart. Poor Dean, he can just never catch a break. Beautifully done.

Oh, that's rough. Dean is not going to have an easy time hanging on to her, is he? But I hope hope hope that he does. Or she does. Whatever. As ling as there is more Lisa love.

Great job capturing Dean's bitter despair/self-esteem issues. So sad!

Lisa has had her head on straight so far, I am deperately hoping she will give Dean another chance!

Thanks for reading!

So so sad. Poor Dean. But you just know he's thinking exactly this.

I really hope Lisa hasn't given up on him. That would break my heart! I loved his phonecalls in the last episodes and his smiling. It was so sweet. Now he is "alone" again!?
He doesn't have HIS "Sammy" and no Lisa & Ben. Poor Dean.....
You see....your words hit every button. It's sad, but i loved it :) Thx

Awwwww....

I wish show had the budget and time an - well - INTEREST to give Lisa more backstory. I wanna know what she's doing now (I SO hope she was just talking to Mr. Singer, demanding answers, but I don't trust the writers that much). I want her to STAY in Dean's life, and I'm deeply worried about her. Because females with character don't last long in the life of Winchester :-(

I could see the justification in her severing all contact to protect Ben.

But I want her to be better, to not give up on Dean.

Wish we could be assured of a happy ending, but not from this show...

I think Lisa should make that determination, but I can't help but wonder--if she knew that he'd been a vampire when he visited her and Ben, what would she have done? He told her his LIFE was violent, and he brought that violence, or at least its potential, to her home, her son. Would she just have accepted him back after THAT?

Love,
Robin

That's the thing, she would be within a reasonable person's rights to get as far from Dean as possible.

But he did resist and he really needs her as a touchpoint right now!

Anticipating more heartbreak...

Awww. My poor Dean. I loved Sam/Dean, but Sam is such a shit these days that I really wanted his new family to work out for him.

Swallowing the perfectly cooked bite of burger, Dean replied, “My charm had nothing to do with it.”

Dean and Lisa really get each other, and I don't think that it's over for them. I have a fic brewing about where Lisa is right now.... which I hope I'll have time to work on today!

Thanks for this lovely progression of vignettes.... you've hit perfectly on the way their understanding works.

To me, Dean getting voicemail doesn't mean it's all over... I was really confused when people read it that way... but I'm sure Lisa needs some processing time to deal with such a traumatic visit. Too bad that it's certain that Dean will stew in self-blame the whole time before she finally calls. :(

I stopped precisely there because I'm holding out the probably vain hope that the writers won't take everything away from Dean...again.

Awww so sad! You really can't blame Lisa for not returning his calls at the end of 6.5 either!

That's what makes it so heartbreaking--her reaction is totally understandable.

Sniff. So sad. I understand Lisa cutting links in canon though - she has to protect her kid first...kind of made up for the annoyance of her expressing how she wanted Ben to have a father (having raised him pretty well for ten years herself!). She was a cool character.

I really think Lisa had her personal act pretty together, which is why she had the emotional energy to help Dean through his despair. It was so refreshing to see Dean in a reasonably healthy relationship.

I am hoping (probably in vain) that the writers let the two of them work out a compromise after the situation with Sam gets under control.

But yeah, not really expecting to get it.

Thanks for reading!

Aww....I like Lisa and liked her and Dean together. I think she'd be willing to take all the shit that comes with Dean if she didn't have Ben to watch out for. She's got to put her son's safety first. I still hope they manage a happy ending, somehow.

I think Lisa is absolutely awesome and really hope they can work it out!
