War of Hearts - Russell Taylor

WHO ||Dean, Rose, Sam, Alainn [closed]
WHAT || Dean & Rose spontaneously tie the knot
WHERE || The French Quarter 24/7 Wedding Chapel, New Orleans
WHEN || A couple weeks post LA, after the Rafael rescue (2017)
HOW || Actionspam (single thread)

[ No one probably ever thought this day would come, probably least of all the bride and groom.

But a surprise proposal (of sorts) from Rose has led them both here, as the clock clicks close to midnight, to one of the only 24/7 wedding chapels there is, conveniently located right here in New Orleans, where they happened to make the decision.  Neither one of them seems to want a big wedding, so much as they just want to get married already, although everyone is a little concerned that Dean is going to develop cold feet as the time draws nearer.  With a nat 20 will save though, he's actually eerily calm about the whole thing as Sam drives him to the place and they fill out the paperwork, while Alainn gets Rose ready in a nearby room.  Dean takes a moment to slip the guy running the place some cash money under the table not to put their name up on the public registry that they keep on their website, to at least not flagrantly advertise their location.  By the time anyone traces them here from the actual signing of documents, they should be long gone.  Once all that's done, Dean and Sam have a few moments alone while they go to process everything, and he steps into the chapel room, walking slowly down the aisle with his hands shoved in the pockets of the suit that Alainn picked up for him and Sam talked him into actually wearing, studying the kooky decor with a pensive look on his face. ]

[Sam sure as hell didn't think this day would come, and even if he did he didn't know if he'd be here with them, but now that it's happening it almost feels like there's no other way this could gone.

Leave it to Rose and Dean to do something like this in the spur of the moment. That's generally how they all lived their lives anyway.

Sam's got on his flannel/vest combo, which miraculously fits him, and he's quiet as he follows after Dean into the chapel room. He's also ridiculously calm (will save 30) as he glances around, his expression one of contentedness.]

I bet they could get us a couple beers while we wait if you wanted one.

[He's...mostly teasing. And also trying to keep the atmosphere light considering how heavy it got back at the motel.]

[Alainn may or may not have...actually forgotten to get her own outfit for this makeshift wedding so uh this is what she ends up actually wearing... And apparently she is more concerned about making her bestie look like a bamf, cuz she got a 21 disguise check to glam Rose up as much as she would allow, while for herself she got a whopping 9. She really doesn't care though, so long as no cold feet or freakouts happen.

Just before she and Rose go out to join the boys in the chapel, Alainn will pull this out of her pocket, holding it up to show her friend. It's a simple celtic knot, a bit battered that looks almost hand made in it's little imperfections.] You have the something new and the something blue, and if you'll wear it, this can be your something old and borrowed.

[ hello alcoholism, my old friend. after alainn's proposed stop at the liquor store, they make their way back, and gather in dean and rose's room for a powwow that is a far cry from a usual wedding night. a brooding silence falls over the room as dean tries to gear himself up to explain any of this to the man who is like a father to him. for now, though, he's trying to find the bottom of this bottle. ]

[Sam will make sure he and Bobby get Alainn back to her room safely before heading to the front desk to secure the extra room. Once inside, Sam does a quick check of the room and the bathroom before settling on the edge of one of the double beds, letting out a heavy sigh and looking over at he and Dean's father-figure.]

Welcome to the clusterfuck, I guess. You walked into quite a mess.

[Par for the Winchester course, though.]
