Fireman Sam part 1

Turning the blinker on in the big red truck Sam maneuvered the fire truck around the corner of another street.  When there wasn't an emergency his chief told him to drive around and wait for the call at random times.  Said it made people feel more safe if they could see a truck was near.  Scratching his stomach he pulled his black shirt up a bit, then fixing it back into the fire resistant pants.  Looking around it was a pretty quiet street, not that much ever went on in this city.  Sure he was a little bitter he couldn't find that special guy, but he was happy.  Relatively so at least, he could come home to a clean apartment and just relax with a beer and try to forget anything bad for a while.

Though there were days when he wished he could come home to a hot meal, not have to make one himself.  Get a kiss and a hug and maybe even a shoulder rub from where it's hurting from carrying someone out of a house.  Someone to care for his bruises and scratches and just give a damn.

Letting out a sigh he made another turn, looking around again cocking his head as he saw a little girl by a tree.  She seemed to be reaching up and wiggling her fingers like she was trying to get something from up there.  Slowing down he looked and couldn't help but laugh at the irony.  In the tree there was a calico kitten that didn't look like it was going to come down anytime soon.  Pulling over he shut the truck off and took the keys, throwing them in his pocket.  Getting out he made his way over to the distressed little girl.

"Hi there, need some help?" He asked, smiling as the girl looked up at him.

"Can you please help me get my kitten?" She asked turning her green eyes to him, her freckles standing out against her pale skin.

Nodding he reached up and was able to grab the kitten and detach it from the branch and bring it down.  Holding it against his chest for a moment he petted it a few times to stop it from shaking.

"Is she an outside cat?" Sam asked, handing over the kitten to the girl.

"No daddy told me to check the mail and she ran out here, bad bug" She said, wagging her finger at the cat.

Sam laughed a little then jumped as he heard, what he guessed was the little girls, name being called.

"Alice, what are you doing out here with Bug"

Sam looked up and found himself getting lost in Alice's dad's looks as he looked at his daughter.

"I went to check the mail like you said and she sneaked out past my legs and went up the tree then got scared and the tall fireman saved her"

For the first time the man seemed to realize there was another person there and looked up at him.  Sam could see where Alice got her eyes and freckles.

"Hi I'm Sam, fireman and cat rescuer" He smiled, trying not to fixate on the very kissable looking lips of the man in front of him.

"Dean and thanks" He held out his hand and Sam shook it.

"Daddy are you going to ask him out?" Alice said, making Dean blush dark red.

"Ali why don't you take Bug inside?" He asked, looking away from Sam.

"Aww fine" She said and headed into the house talking to Bug.

"I'm sorry about that, she thinks I should ask out every guy that is nice"

"Huh" Sam said.

"Yea, sometimes if the guy is straight it gets a little tense, last week she told the guy at the store he should ask me out and he damn near punched me"

"Wow, that blows and just for the record if you did ask me out, I wouldn't say no"

Dean smiled up at him. "Really now?"

"Really"

"Then how does meeting at the Texas Roadhouse at 7 sound? If you're off work by then that is"

"I'll be there, you better give me your number though incase something does come up"

Dean nodded and took Sam's phone when he held it out and typed in the number, saving it.

"I'll see you tonight then" Dean said.

Sam smiled and typed out a quick text, that made Dean's phone buzz a moment later.

'See you then'
