15 hours?! As cool as Santorini was, Dean had not enjoyed the long flight. He had managed to sleep some but not as much as he would have liked. Part of that was due to Lainey, who also struggled with sleep, and all he really wanted was to be making out with her, which was distracting.
By the time they made it to Greece though Lainey seemed in worse condition than Dean. After getting the key card for their room and their bags were taken for them, Dean had scooped Lainey up into his arms as they walked down the hall, looking for their room number.
He awkwardly fumbled with the handle for a second before using his foot to nudge the door open once unlocked. Their bags were already there. Bring her over to the bed, he gently laid her down on the pillow and bent down to kiss her forehead. He then pulled off her shoes softly, tossing them over his shoulder unceremoniously and grabbed the blanket he had given her which she had had on the plane and placed it softly on top of her.

Try as she might to fight it, the struggle to stay away was real. She instantly understood why toddlers were so cranky when they missed naptime. She tried to sleep on the plane, but the most she got was maybe a spotty one hour of sleep as she just couldn't get comfortable. She couldn't sleep well in a car, let alone a plane.
When they finally landed and had made it to the resort, it was taking every bit of energy to not just fall to the floor, and even though she mildy protested at Dean picking her up, she was also very grateful because she didn't think she'd make it to the room without assistance. She rested her head against his shoulder and tried, but failed to help him push open the door to their room.
Her eyes were already drooping close as Dean placed her on the bed, and she practically melted into it. She barely registered the tugging motion on her feet to realize her shoes were removed and then she felt something soft being dropped over her. She rolled to the left, and then the right then, essentially cocooning herself in the blanket. "C'mere." She requested of Dean, pulling an arm out to pat the bed beside her. If and when he did join her, Lainey would roll over to snuggle right up against him. Pressing her nose into his chest to just breathe him in. "Oove uu." She mumbled before she finally gave up fighting the sleep, and promptly let it take her.

Dean chuckled softly at her as she rolled into the blanket like that. As she patted the bed beside her he kicked off his own shoes and collapsed onto the bed next to her. As she snuggled up to him he wrapped one arm around her and the other rested above his head. He stroked her back softly and turned to look at her against is chest.
He smiled as she mumbled her love, resisting the urge to chuckle so as not to disturb her. "I love you too." He whispered to her, though by then she was probably already asleep.
He watched her for a long time, memorizing the shape of her face, each and every freckle and line, the exact shade of her hair, and the soft sound of her breathing. He thought of his past, of every other girl he'd been with and how different this felt from them. The woman in his arms was his fiancee. He was going to marry her. Part of him was terrified of that. They had only known each other for a few days. Less than a week. It was scary, a guy like him who had never been able to commit for longer than half a year and now he was giving this woman his whole heart. His whole life.
But it wasn't just scary. It was exciting and his heart swelled. He never felt more love for a person before, had never let himself be fully vulnerable with someone. He supposed he still hadn't fully with her, they hadn't a lot of serious chats, but he knew he could be vulnerable with her and that was what mattered. He couldn't imagine how he could possibly love her more than he did, he didn't know that love could feel this intense and overwhelming and exhilarating. He had never believed in soul mates before, he had laughed at the idea, but now his own soul mate was sleeping in his arms and the thought of letting her go terrified him way more than of fully committing and marrying her.
He wanted her, all of her, all for himself. A tear ran down his cheek at the overwhelming emotion he felt and he brushed it away with a swipe of his hand. He wasn't sure how long he laid awake, lost in his thoughts, but eventually he fell asleep as well.

Lainey didn't know what time it was when she woke up, but when she did, she did a full-body stretch, arching her back as she went and felt very warm. She was disoriented from the jet lagg still, and didn't know where she was, other than the bed was very comfortable and whatever was pressed against her side was a heater. Her pineapple blanket was twisted around her, and she it slowly registered that she in a bed, and then heater next to her was a passed out Dean. She quickly covered her mouth to muffle the giggled that wanted to come out. He was so cute! He definitely had bed head, but she knew so did she.
She took a moment to watch him, looking at the steady breathing he had. There was a surprising innocence about him she noticed when he slept. His face was relaxed from all the worries of the world, and she could tell his stubble had come in darker which just made him all the rugged and handsome. She held the blanket up over her nose as she peaked over it, biting her lip. This whole situation was nuts. Bananas! How had this happened? Seriously. She was halfway across the world with a man she'd bet five days ago. It was crazy and wonderful, and for a moment Lainey's gut clenched wondering if this was a mistake. It couldn't work, right? The experiment?
But as she laid there watching Dean, she felt the tension ease, and she was reminded of the connection they had. The feeling of knowing him, even if it had just been for a short amount of time. She couldn't fake that, or the sense of love she felt for him. She thought of Jude, and how she had thought he was the one. Given the last two years, however, she wondered if she only thought that because Jude had dug her out of her bad place. But Dean? That was a whole different kind of love, and he was all hers. Not being able to resist anymore and she leaned up and kissed his cheek before she slowly pried herself out of the blanket and off the bed. Making sure as to not disturb him because she didn't know when he'd fallen asleep.
She made a quick trip to the bathroom, picking her suitcase up and just taking it in with her so she wouldn't have to worry about waking Dean up with the zipper. She shook her head in awe at the bathroom, half her own living room would fit in here. She quickly flipped on the shower, and undressed. Mostly doing a rinse off from the travel and sleep, and the dried herself off before she put her pajama's on, that consisted of a Nirvana shirt and short cotton pants. She dragged the suitcase back out and then wandered over to the back door to see that they had their own pool and jacuzzi. "Well, we don't have to worry about anyone walking in now..." She mumbled to herself before she walked back to the bed crawled back onto it.

Dean slept deeply but not well. His dreams were full of loss. He had wandered around in a dark maze trying to search for Lainey but she was always just out of reach. It was one of the dreams where you couldn't run and he moved at a draggingly slow pace as he pulled himself desperately along. He could hear her voice, her laugh, but could never find her. And then her laugh turned into a scream and he tried to rush to her but his damn feet felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. Vines snaked out and wrapped around his arms and body trying to pull him back and he tried to yell for her but he could barely get out more than a whisper.
There were beads of perspiration on his forehead and his brow furrowed in his sleep until he suddenly woke with a start. "NO!" Fear wretched at his heart to find that Lainey was no longer on his chest and for a moment he panicked, disoriented from sleep. He sat up quickly, clear fear and desperation in his gaze until he turned and he found Lainey beside him still. He breathed heavily, his hand over his heart as he looked down at her, his brow did not soften as he looked at her desperately. "You were gone. Lost. I couldn't find you. You were screaming." He said, his eyes intense and his voice strained.

Dean startled Lainey with his shout, as he sat up. Concern quickly took over and she was right next to him, turning her body so she was facing him. The look he gave her broke her heart and she wondered what he'd been dreaming about, but he quickly told her and her heart broke. "I haven't left aside from a quick shower baby." She told him gently. She sat up on her knee's, and knee walked to fill the space, before she wrapped her arms around him, and rested her head on top of his shoulder. She rubbed his back, wanting to comfort him after he looked so distressed from not being able to find her.
"It was just a dream." She said gently. "You're okay, I'm okay, I'm not lost, as far as I know I'm not screaming...yet... and I'm right here with you." She told him as she leaned back to smile at him. Wiping at his forehead with the back of her hand, before running her fingers gently through his hair to tame some of the bedhead.

Dean couldn't take his eyes off of her as she moved towards him, as if he was afraid that if he closed his eyes or looked away that she was fade into nonexistence. As she held him he wrapped his arms snugly around her body, nuzzling into her neck with a quite sound that was almost a whimper. His body trembled around her. It had been years since a dream had affected him so much and though logically he knew that it was only a dream he still couldn't immediately shake the feeling it had left in its wake.
He did manage to let out the tiniest huff of a laugh at her joke of not screaming yet before she sat back to look at him. His arms were still wrapped around her, afraid to let her go and he sighed at the feeling of her hands in her hair but he still didn't dare close his eyes. His gaze searched hers, desperately clinging onto reality through those pretty blue eyes. "Just a dream..." He finally managed to say with a trembling whisper.
His hand moved to touch her face, his fingers tracing over her features as if trying to prove to himself that she was a real. His hands still shook.

Lainey met Dean's gaze not realizing how badly he was shaken until his hands touched her face and she could actually feel his hands shaking. She reached up and placed one of her hands over his. Her other hand touched his face. Rubbing her thumb against his cheek. "Just a dream." She told him gently. She turned her head and pressed her lips into his palm. Not breaking eye contact. It seemed important to Dean in that moment to stare at her to ensure that she was in fact real.
She leaned in and pressed her lips against his forehead. "Just a dream." She murmured. She leaned back and then pinched him lightly. "Feel that?" She asked with a grin. "Not a dream."

The vividness of the dream slowly began to fade as he focused on her, feeling the warmth and tenderness of her hand on his face and her lips on his forehead. His breathing began to slow, the heat from the sweat starting to feel cool again, giving him the chills. He finally cracked a small smile as she pinched him and he winced a little.
He sighed then with a nod and moved to lay back down, pulling her with him. If she let him he'd pull her into him so that he was spooning her, her back against his chest and nuzzled into her hair. He didn't talk for a long time but when he did it was in a whisper. "I'm afraid of losing you."

Lainey went with Dean, wanting to give him whatever he needed to feel better. She wrapped her arms up arm his, kissing his arm as he nuzzled her hair and just laid there. Closing her eyes and letting her presence calm him until he finally spoke. At that moment, she'd nearly fallen asleep again, but he drew her back out, and she turned in his arms. Scooting up so her head was level with his and she gripped his jaw gently in her hand, and while her other hand stroked his face gently.
"I'm not going anywhere Dean Baelish. You're stuck with me." She said with a small smile. "You're amazing and wonderful, and I love you SO much. It's going to take a SWAT team or a meteor to get me away from you." She told him fiercely. "Unless you magically turn into a grade-A dick or my ex, there's nothing to be afraid of sweetheart." She told. A small smirk appearing on her face.

Dean gently smiled at her fierce promising answer. He moved to touch his forehead to hers and sighed contentedly. Feeling more settled, he placed a kiss on her nose before rolling onto his back and stretched before sitting up again. He turned his head a bit to look down at her and smiled. "You look comfy. Are we going out or staying in?" He asked. "I'm hungry, but I should shower real quick either way."

Lainey propped herself on her elbow and rested her head on her hand as she watched him stretch. "I am. I was thinking we could just stay in and maybe think about maybe being social tomorrow." She said with a smile. "Go shower, I'll attempt room service." She said sitting up. She threw her arms around his neck and leaned in to plant a big kiss on his cheek. "I'm sorry about your nightmare love, but if it makes any difference you're fucking adorable when you sleep." She placed another kiss on his cheek before she rolled off the bed.
Placing her hands on her hips she looked around for the phone and the menu they had. "Any preference? What do greeks eat?" She asked curiously.

"Deal. I like it." he agreed. His arm wrapped around her middle as she kissed him and his smile brightened. "I'll survive. I'm a big boy. At least I'm a cute sleeper." he said with a teasing air, though to be honest he was still shaking off the last bit of emotions from the dream. He was sure he could wash the rest away with a shower.
He scooted off the bed and took off his shirt, tossing it on the end of the bed. "I don't know...gyros?" he said with a shrug. "Surprise me, I'm not picky." he told her. He grabbed his toiletry bag from his suitcase and swatted her butt as passed her to head into the bathroom to shower.

Lainey had the phone pressed against her ear, and glanced over her shoulder at Dean after he had smacked her butt on his way to the bathroom. She admired the view of his own butt before he disappeared into the bathroom, and the line for room service answered.
After a good several minutes of trying to pronounce what she wanted and the very polite thick accented greek man being patient with her, she managed to place their order. Since she'd been barely awake when they arrived at the room, she had to run out into the hallway to look at the room number before running back in to tell him where to deliver it too.
Once that was done and over with she went and flopped on the bed face down, before rolling onto her back, tucking her hands up behind her head. She could hear the water running in the bathroom, and rolled onto her side, watching the door. She was still a bit concerned about Dean, given how he'd woken up and reacted to strongly to whatever happened in his dream. She frowned, hoping he'd feel better. Spotted his shirt that he'd tossed on the bed and reached over and pulled it to her. It smelled like him, and she couldn't help but bury her face in it for a moment. Her shoulders sagging at the comforting scent. Okay, maybe sniffing his shirt was a bit creepy. she sat up, and folded it before tossing it on the foot of the bed, and then folded up the pineapple blanket before she set it on the foot of the bed as well. She walked to the patio door then, and opened it, feeling the warm air of outside whoosh into the air-conditioned room.
She walked back to the bathroom door and then shouted through it, hoping Dean would be able to hear her. "Going out to the patio!" She called. Wanting him to know where she was especially after how he woke up. She walked outside then up, and walked down to the pool area they had access too, to rest her arms on the railing so she could look out at the ocean. It really was beautiful, and she felt like she was in another almost. This whole experience was amazing, and not one she would ever forget.

Dean showered quickly and the clean water seemed to wash away the rest of his discomfort. He was really looking forward to spending the rest of the night with Lainey and he smiled to himself as he washed his body. After his shower he came out to the room with his towel wrapped around his waist. He hadn't brought his clothes into the bathroom with him. He spotted the folded shirt and blanket at the foot of the bed and smiled to himself. He spotted Lainey out on the patio and just took a moment to admire her, before he dropped his towel and got dressed, pulling on some gym shorts and a white v-neck tee.
He stood by the door for a moment, resting his shoulder on the door frame, the sun was just starting to set and color the sky and Lainey looked like a daydream out there. He smiled and walked over to her, making sure his footsteps were just loud enough that she would know he was coming and he wouldn't startle her.
He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her middle for a moment and then drew his hands down her arms and interlaced his fingers with hers on both hands. If she let him, he'd then lift to extend her arms out like she was flying. He grinned. "Come Josephine, my flying machine and it's up she goes, up she goes." He sang softly to her, playing with their interlaced fingers.

Lainey heard Dean coming and glanced over her shoulder at him. A smile on her face as he came up and hugged her from behind. She wondered what he was doing then as he intertwined their fingers and held their arms up and out that the sides. As soon as he started to sing she couldn't help but start to laugh as the reference finally hit her.
She leaned back against him, resting her head against his shoulder and then brought their hands in so she could kiss his knuckles. "Are you feeling better?" She asked as she tilted her head back to look up at him.

Dean chuckled as she started laughing and he kissed her cheek before she leaned back on him. After she kissed his knuckles he kept a hold of her hands wrapped them around her middle again, embracing her softly and gently swaying back and forth with her.
"Much." He told her, looking down at her. "How are you? Did you get some sleep?" He asked.

"I am fantastic." She said grinning up at him. "Still a bit tired, but I did sleep. Probably the most I've had all week." She said with a sigh. Enjoying being in Dean's arms. She stared out at the ocean for a moment and then glanced up at him. The orange of the sky was cut out partially by his dark head of hair, and she watched him for a moment. Memorizing the planes of his face more before she finally looked away and let another happy sigh out. Wiggling a little in his arms as she settled.

"Oh don't worry Killer Thighs, I'll definitely wear you out enough that you'll sleep great for the rest of the trip." He said with a sly smirk and a playfully teasing tone.
He looked at the water and the way the warm orange sun played on the sea. He almost didn't notice her looking at him but looked down to meet her gaze for a moment before she looked away again. He smiled and squeezed her softly in his arms. He released her fingers and moved his hands up and down her upper arms, almost in a warming motion.
He leaned down and placed a kiss just behind her ear before he looked back out at the scene. It couldn't have been more perfect. "Did you order us some grub?" He asked after a while, enjoying the peace.

Lainey's face turned red at what Dean said. Having no doubt that he would wear her out in more ways than one. She enjoyed standing there in his arms in the peaceful moment. The faint echo of the waves somewhere and the scent of the ocean.
She shivered when Dean placed a kiss behind her ear, and her fingers tightened around his from where they were around her middle. She titled her head back up to look at him. "I did, took about five minutes to pronounce everything, but it should be here soon." She said with a chuckle. She looked to the view. "Damn it sure is pretty here. Other than missing Dug, I don't think I want to leave." She laughed. She hummed softly before she turned in his arms, and wrapped her arms around his waist. Hugging him tight as she rested her head on his chest. "I can't think of anyone better who I would want to spend this time with." She sighed happily.
