LOOKING GLASS: Dean Winchester (and his reflection)
So it’s like this: I was bored. smilla02 was bored, and both of us were desperately craving some ficspiration of the Dean Winchester variety. Earlier, on a random comment thread ages ago, that’s who-knows where, I was ranting about how awesome it would be if I could just prompt AU’s for other people to write (mostly because I love inventing them, but am ( Read more... )
Before Sam can snap back, the mattress shifts and a small furry head smashes itself against Dean’s thigh.
Oh, now the thing comes up to him. Now, after he’s already filleted Dean’s face and arms and hands, he thinks it’s suddenly appropriate to come on to him like a five dollar whore. Well, he can just fuck off right now.
“You know no one would have said anything if you’d just given up after the second roof, right?” Sam asks softly, rolling up his brother’s sleeves to take care of the scratches that are covering his forearms.
Yeah, right. No one would have said anything, except Dean promised that little girl that he was gonna get Otis back for her and who knows if the stupid cat would have ever found its way back home from all the way across town and anyway, it wasn’t about saving the cat or risking his life for a little kid’s pet. It was about that sucker thinking he could outrun Dean and Dean Winchester doesn’t turn down a challenge. That’s all there is to it.
“Ow!” he whines again when Sam starts torturing him with his sewing skills.
Otis does that thing again where he rubs himself against Dean’s leg. Dean likes to think it’s a sort of cat apology and Sam is still focusing on cleaning out the scratches, so for a quick moment he allows himself to let his bandaged hand ghost over the soft fur.
The small motion elicits a loud and content pour and Dean has to put all his left over anger into his glare to keep Sam from making whatever comment seems to be on the tip of his tongue.
Which is good. It’s also good that Sam decides to ignore the fact that Dean doesn’t complain again about his ministrations, even when the whiskey cloth makes a reappearance, as long as one of his hands can stay curled in the cat’s soft neck.
The next morning, Sam finds Dean nursing a nasty bite wound on the back of his hand.
“He bit you?” Sam exclaims in wonder, hurrying over to take a closer look at the
bleeding punctures. He figured the two of them settled their differences sometime between sharing a slice of left over pizza and sleeping in the same bed.
“Nah,” Dean breathes past the lump in his throat when his brother gets the whiskey out of his duffel again.
“He didn’t bite you?”
“Well, no he did,” Dean admits sullenly. “But it was my fault. I rolled over and I think I scared him, so he lashed out.”
Sam’s bark of a laugh echoes around the small kitchen area of their room. “That cat and you?” he giggles, barely holding on to the bottle in his hand. “You’re totally the battered girlfriend in that relationship.”
Dean glares but doesn’t really come up with any snark to deny the accusation.
By the time they pull up at Otis’ owners’ house, Dean has three newly bandaged scratches across his face and a pouring cat in his lap and Sam is seriously worried that he’ll have to prevent some kind of violent tug o’ war between his brother and a ten-year old girl with a howling cat in the middle.
