[b][u]LEXI AND NATALIA[/u][/b]

Seeing Dean get all flustered and worked up made both girls smirk, especially as he was quickly discovering that he wasn't going to win this teasing of Natalia. His reaction to Nat's fake invitation to hearing all about her love life with Cason made her chuckle smugly, feeling rather proud of herself for getting under her brother's skin just enough to still classed as playful. Yet she also got more amused when Dean turned onto Lexi for sticking up for her. "natural instinct?" Lexi retorted with a shrug, which seemed to be a good move in Natalia's eyes as she was starting to see more of Lexi than she initially did when she first arrived. 

"Oh brother, don't ever change" Nat said as Cason turned away from the stove and started to bring the plates of bacon and eggs across. Hearing Cason call out to them all to refocus their attentions to breakfast and what needs to be done on this day. As Dean scoffed about Cason acting like the boss, Natalia rolled her eyes, whereas Cason just gave a straight laced answer. 

Lexi, with one arm still partly round Dean's back, rubbed his back with her thumb whilst her head turned toward Anya's phone out of a newly formed habit. Anya's comment about preferring Cason to take the lead did make Lexi softly chuckle as she couldn't deny that Anya's words were pretty valid. She then let go of Dean and walked over to help with the plates and cutlery, as did Natalia, except Natalia couldn't resist deliberately brushing passed Cason, leaning up slightly and kissing his cheek before she grabbed whatever was left to be grabbed and walked out into the war room for the bigger table.

Sam looked at Anya when it was clear she was wanting eye contact with him and saw the expression she was giving him. He knew in that moment he needed to let go of the tension he mentioned, even if it was always hard for him to do so as he had a tendency to cling onto negative feelings- albeit not nearly as much as Dean did. 

He gave her a small but genuine nod to let her know he would listen to whatever she had to say, and he did. The moment she pressed play on her phone, he took to heart the words that came through. Her positive energy and mindset was such a breath of fresh air yet again to him, reminding him of just why he was so drawn to her. He kissed her back when she leaned up to kiss him and he instantly began to softly smile again and not feel so tense. "I'm sorry for being so tense and pensive...but you're right" he replied to her as the others all spoke amongst themselves until Cason broke up the individual conversations. 

He smirked seeing Cason and Dean still slightly butting heads, whilst he clearly was still feeling ganged up on between Natalia and Lexi. If Anna, Natalia and Cason all stayed for a little while, he just knew this bunker's vibe was going to become very interesting to say the least. He watched as everyone began to scatter and help with the plates, whilst also being amused at Anna smacking Dean's hand away from the toast. She really hadn't changed too much when it came to feeling confident enough to do such an action to Dean. He was grateful that what he did to her and everything else in this life didn't completely destroy her personality around Dean. 

Standing up from the table, he followed everyone else into the war room before grabbing a plate and helping himself to food when it was good to do so. He then found himself a new seat and grabbed a fork to begin to eating, without really waiting for anyone else. 

"well someone is hungry" Lexi teased with a smirk, "and you're not?" Sam retorted back, noticing Lexi didn't exactly wait either for grabbing food. "fair point" she replied, sitting down.
