In which there is a class trip.

Alec was not a happy little camper. He wasn't even trying to hide it as he stood in line with the other kids from his class. They were mostly bouncing around, happy and eager. He, however, clung to his father's hand and practically hid behind him. He could smell the water even out here and he wasn't a fan. At all

Dean felt Alec clinging to him and really didn't blame him. He knew how the kid felt about water and wasn't about to push him any, but he was a little excited about this. He and Sam had never had the chance to go to an aquarium when they were kids -- they never really stuck around long enough to go on field trips, and John wasn't exactly one for educating his kids, so this was his first time as well.

Ben was up ahead with his friends, not wanting to hang out with his dad at the moment, and Dean didn't really blame him there, but Alec was sticking close pinned to Dean's side like he had an abnormally thick leg. Dean did his best to move him along, though, inching them closer to the door, a gentle hand on the back of his shoulders.

"Relax, kiddo. It's not gonna be so bad."

Alec let his father move them forward, willing to at least not fight it. But only because Dean was there. Only because he could trust his father to protect him. "Says you! I can smell the water already." It smelled strange. Salty. He would have been curious if it had been anything but water.

Dean paused for a moment, before looking over at Alec with a bit of an eyebrow raise. "You do know that we aren't going in the water, right?"

"Yes." He replied promptly. There was a pause and then much quieter. "No? No one told me that."
