An extremely heavy, loud bass-beat is thumping down the hallways and spewing out of the library.
Dean has acquired a boombox.
He's also legitimately doing research, for once in his life, plucking books here and there and stacking them in a rather haphazard fashion on the nearest table, all the while singing along to
Separate Ways by one of the

Unless you include Santana storming out of his room because he wouldn't have sex with her.
And Kurt storming out of the living room after Dean told him he wasn't gay.
...teenagers sure do get wound up.
But this guy is new, and possesses a hulking tallness that rivals Sam's, and a taste in music that is obviously killer-awesome. Dean has no idea if the kid has any relation whatsoever to the cheerleaders, fashion diva, and homophobic meathead, but if he likes Journey, he's in Dean's good books. Figuratively, of course. Dean doesn't have any books except dad's journal. He grins broadly.
"Thanks, man," Dean reaches over, turning down the volume enough to hear normal speech. He shuts the book in his lap, tossing it to one side and pushing himself up out of the chair. Dean hits about six-foot-three on the regular measuring scale - at least, he did the last time he was in a police lineup - and this kid's practically an inch taller.
Brings back memories.
He jerks his thumb back at the CD-player. "Was gonna switch it to ASIA next, 'cause all the stations here suck." Dean jokes, thinking about all the channels filled with people's whiny transmissions.
"Dean Winchester," He introduces himself, shoving his hands into his pockets and tipping his head up a little. "What's your name, kid?"

ASIA's cool. I don't know a lot of their stuff, but 'Heat of the Moment' beats out, like, 'Wannabe'.

[The stuff of actual relevance, relating to music, is sort of lost for a moment as Dean recognizes the name.]
Yeah, uh...'Finger On the Trigger' ain't so bad, if you wanna listen to it, but...you wouldn't happen to know a kid named Kurt, would you?

Kurt Hummel? Uh, yeah, he's my step-brother.

Yeah. He falls pretty hard. But-- but he's TOTALLY awesome. He just, I dunno, doesn't have a lot of options, you know?

[Dean shrugs. He likes Kurt, he really does, but Kurt has the tendency to dream a little too big.
And Dean has the tendency to be oblivious.
Shut up.]
Heard him complain enough times about my music, but I don't think he knows anything that ain't from a musical or earlier than the eighties. [Dean suppresses a tiny smile, silent for a moment.]
...you remember that bitchfest he threw a few weeks ago? About the guy who broke his heart? Yours truly. Dunno if he's completely forgiven me yet.

[Dean grimaces.] I think of 'im like a brother, though. That's the thing, dude. He reminds me a lot of my own brother.

[Well this is awkward.]
So, uh...you like Journey? Tell me you got some Zeppelin in your playlist, man.

Dude, are you serious? You're the first damn person here with some good taste. [He raises an eyebrow.] Joe Walsh recorded Rocky Mountain Way before or after joining The Eagles?
