Supernatural Imagines

Safe Place (RSJ)

Hey, so this is just something I thought up. I thought it was a cute concept, so here it is.

I don't think there's any warnings, but I've made the reader's name Henley and she is Rich's daughter
_______

"What's it like being Rich's daughter?".

I chuckle a little and shrug "Um… I don't know. I guess it's the same as being anyone else's daughter. Only difference is I have the cast's phone numbers". Everyone laughs and I sigh, pursing my lips "I dunno, man. He's pretty awesome… sometimes. He's always been there for me and it's like, I don't really know how to describe it. Sometimes he'll be like my best friend. Other times he's saved me from doing something stupid or embarrassing. But most of the time it's fun. I like to call him my safe place". I recieve an aww and smiles "Also, it's cool because Rob's kinda like a second dad to me. He only lives two seconds away from us. Audrey's one of my best friends, so I'm over there a lot. I think I'm at Rob's more than my actual house. He's cool though, I just wander in. I don't even bother to knock anymore, it's just as normal to be there as it is at my own house. Unless I'm at my mom's. But that's not the point". I sigh "I don't know what I'm sayin' anymore, to be honest". "Tell us a story!" Someone yells. I hum, then chuckle "You want a story? I don't have any stories. I don't think there's anything you haven't heard already. My dad's pretty much covered it all". I sigh, trying to think of something and gasp "Oh, I might have something. But I don't know if it's very good. I don't know, I don't have any stories!". I giggle and the audience laughs. I breathe out a sigh of relief when I see my dad and Rob come out with the band. I sigh "Dad, these people want a story and I don't have any". He chuckles "I think you do". I purse my lips and he smiles "The detention one". I grin "Oh, yeah. Guys, wait. Don't go! I have a story". Everyone laughs, making me giggle "Okay, so a few years ago, long story short, I got detention. Some boy used a lame pickup line on me. He asked if it hurt when I fell out of heaven. I looked at him and said "No, but I did scrape my knees when I crawled out of hell". And he later tried again. He was in my English class and said to me "Sticks and stones may break my bones. But words will never hurt me". So, I grabbed a dictionary and threw it at him and it broke his nose. I screamed at him "How's that for words hurting you!". Then some other stuff happened. Anyway, I got suspended. So, my dad had to come pick me up. When he did, I explained what happened. And he took me out for ice cream".

After the panel, we go back to the green room. My dad and Rob sit on the couches. Misha, Jensen, Bri and Kim are already mulling around. All the adrenaline from being on stage wears off and suddenly I feel exhausted. So, I sit beside dad before leaning into his side. "How was the panel, kid?" He asks me. I shrug "It was fun, but terrifying". Both him and Rob chuckle in response. I grab the cushion next to me, then put it in his lap. Then I lie down with my head on the cushion. He doesn't say anything, but I can tell he knows I'm tired. I feel him starting to run his hand through my hair as he continues talking to someone. I assume it's Rob, but I'm too tired to acknowledge whoever it is. Eventually, I drown everyone else out, giving up on trying to stay awake.

Hours later

I jump awake, feeling movement beside me. He immediately hushes me "Shh, shh. I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't mean to wake you up". I frown "Did you leave?". He sighs, nodding "I had to, Henz. I'm hosting". "Where are you goin?" I ask, slipping into my Southern accent a little. He chuckles softly "Sweetheart, you've been asleep since this morning. You slept the whole day away. You hungry? We're going to get dinner soon". I nod a little, yawning "Yeah". He nods "Well, come on. Let's get going, everyone's waitin". I sigh tiredly, rubbing my eyes before sitting up slowly. "Can I get a piggyback ride?" I ask, pouting. He smiles, rolling his eyes playfully "Sure".
After a few minutes, he walks out of the room with me on his back. I wrap my arms around his neck before resting my chin on his shoulder. He chuckles "Panels really take it out of you, huh?". I shrug, nodding "I guess so. They're more exhausting than I thought they'd be". He hums "Maybe tone it down a bit with the panels for you then". "I'll probably get used to it" I reply. "Henley, you're way too tired. You aren't doing a full panel by yourself again until I say so, okay?" He tells me. I sigh, not bothering to argue "Fine". We exit the building and find Rob, Matt, Jason, Bri and Kim waiting there for us.

Bri smiles brightly when she sees us "Aw, sleeping beauty's awake!". I blush a little when everyone turns their attention to me "I wish I could go back to sleep". They all chuckle at my response.

Later, after dinner

I was lying with my dad on the couch in the hotel room. I had my head resting on his chest with his arms around me. He hums "Hey, sweetheart. Can I ask you somethin?". I nod "Sure". He sighs "About what you said in your panel. That true?". I look up at him "What did I say?". "That I'm your safe place" He replies softly, brushing his thumb over my cheek. "You weren't supposed to hear that. But… yeah. You aren't just my dad, you're everything. I don't know… it's comforting, or something. I feel better if I know you're in the same room as me. It's… less scary when you're there with me". He turns on to his side to look at me. He smiles softly, silently encouraging me to continue. I sigh quietly "I don't know why. It just gives me comfort. I think I've learned to associate you with a feeling of safety. So, as long as you're there, nothing will happen to me". He chuckles "Well, I've done my job right then, huh?". He gently rests his forehead against mine and smiles "You're right though, Henley". I furrow my eyebrows "About what?". "I can be anything you want me to be, sweetheart. But first and foremost, above everything else, I'm your dad. So, if you're in a room and for whatever reason, I'm not there, all you need to do is pick up the phone and I'll be there before you can hang up" He promises. I smile slightly and nod "I know, dad". He kisses my head, then rests his chin on top of it as I bury my face into his chest.
