Through His Eyes

XIII

Dean rounded the couch and sat in between Seth and Tia, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. The dreams of Tia haven't subsided any, actually, they've grown more vivid and detailed. Those cold showers early in the mornings are only doing so much. He buried his face in her neck and inhaled deeply. She always had a scent to her that seemed to cling to her skin. No amount of shampoo and soap could make her smell this sweet, like sugar and roses. His lips stretched into a smile against her skin and she leaned away shyly, ticklish. He chuckled and leaned away as well, glancing over at his friend to apologize for the PDA, but Seth wasn't looking at him. His gaze is steady on Tia's face, a look that Dean couldn't help but note: longing. Dean shuffled a little closer to Tia and tightened his grip on her possessively. Seth seemed to snap out of his trance and looked at Dean blankly as if he was the stranger in the room and not Tia. Without a word, Seth got up from the couch and trudged, with heavy feet, into the kitchen pushing past Roman who was walking out. He frowned as he watched Seth go.
"What's wrong with him?" Roman asked, pointing at Seth with his thumb.
Dean looked over at Tia, at her round, beautiful blue eyes that were staring at nothing, then turned back to Roman.
"Nothing," he muttered.
He would will his friend's wistful look away. Seth knew how he felt about Tia. He was too much of a good best friend to go after something that had been Dean's from the start.

"Okay, so where do you want to start?" Seth asked Tia as they entered Victoria's Secrets, leaving Dean and Roman sitting on the bench outside.
"Anywhere's fine," Tia said. "I don't want to keep you in here too long."
"It's fine," Seth told her quickly. "Today's all about you." He was hellbent on making this trip into VS as long as possible. He was alone with Tia, really alone. Not with Dean in the bedroom next to him or with Roman just a few feet away in the kitchen. He had the five-foot-even lady all to himself and he was determined to keep it that way for a while.
"Um." Tia tapped her chin, thinking. The action made her look really cute. "I guess," she gulped shyly, "bras."
"Alright," Seth replied, hardly fazed.
He had a mom and two little sisters back home that he took care of. He knew all about girls and the things that happen to him, from breasts growth to periods. Helping Tia shop for more bras and underwear was nothing.
They made their way over to the bra section. "So what size are you?" Seth questioned.
Tia scratched the back of her neck. "I'm not exactly sure," she said, embarrassed. "I've never went shopping for bras before."
"Well, I'll just check for you," but then, realizing what he said, quickly asked, "Is that okay?"
"I guess so," Tia whispered.
Turning her so that her back was to him, Seth slowly lifted Dean's shirt that she was wearing up. She inhaled sharply as Seth flipped the back of her clasp and examined the tag sewn in there.
"44 Double-D," Seth read, choking.
"Oh, okay," Tia said with so much nonchalance that Seth was embarrassed that he was the only one out of the two, wide-eyed about her ample chest.
He always knew she was heavy up there-knew it ever since he saw her-it wasn't something you looked past, but he never knew that she was that big. Now, Seth couldn't help but stare as Tia ran her hands along the new bras on display.
Seth's phone vibrated in his back pocket and he whipped it out to look at the new message.
Dean-4:24
Everything okay in there? What's taking so long?
Seth rolled his eyes, they hadn't even been in here for more than five minutes. He stuffed his phone back in his pocket, not even bothering to reply.
"Can I help you guys with something?" A blonde worker with blue eyes-not nearly as mesmerizing as Tia's, Seth couldn't help but think-materialized in front of them with a polite smile on her face, her hands folded in front of her.
"Hi," Tia greeted, moving her head around, not sure if she was talking in the right direction. Seth came up from behind her positioned her head where it was originally. "I'm shopping for some bras and underwear."
"Oh, okay," the lady said excitedly as if Tia was going to say she was shopping for anything else in this place. "What's your size?"
Seth bit his lip as Tia told her. "Right this way."
