Bunny!
So I haven't written in ages, right?
And then I go and decide to rewrite PUWWLO.
And you know what happens?
Yep. That's right. The attack of the plot bunnies. Two this time, can you believe it?
I don't believe I'd get to writing them, maybe as part of the Picture Perfect 'verse, but I doubt it. There's an author out there I'd REALLY want to see writing these, but she said she's too busy with other projects... *sigh*
She's quickly becoming my fav. author, so having her write it would be awesome...
Anyway, the bunnies:
Both concern Dean and John (and damn, where'd that third one come from? Sneaky bugger...)
Ok, so three.
One is Dean getting a crush on a girl in his class. It'd be... grade 6? The go out a couple of times, with Dean being totally adorkable, and Sam teasing and John feeling a sudden urge to take pictures, but then the girl dumps him. Says she likes someone else. She doesn't laugh at him or anything, just a 12 year old being a 12 year old. And Dean's all broken hearted and trying to be brave about it, and he and John have a father-son moment... Man, I'm squishing him already...
Two is totally Picture Perfect material. John's in the bathroom, shaving, and notices wee!Dean watching, so he smears shaving cream on wee!Dean's face and teaches him to shave (only with no razor), and there's tickles and laughter and .... and... squishes. Yep. Picture Perfect material alright.
Third is not too different. Dean's at school, maybe at some team practice or just hanging out, and someone - could be a girl's father or a coach or something, starts badmouthing him; saying he's good for nothing, that he's a smartmouth, that the farthest he's gonna get in life is a jail cell, that he's dumb and useless and will never amount to anything. And there's a crowd out there, too, hearing it all. Dean plays brave, pretends none of this bothers him, but John's also there, came to pick up his kids, and he hears it all. He ducks away and pretend to get there a moment later, pretends he heard none of it, and they leave. John studies Dean, and realizes his son's too goon an actor, that had he not heard for himself, he'd probably never know about it. He can hear Dean crying though, late at night when he thinks nobody's awake, and it tears John apart, so he goes and finds the jerk and rips him a new one - telling him Dean's a better kid than anyone's kid, that he's smart and intuitive and is gonna go farther than anyone in that godforsaken town, that his son's mature and responsible and more intelligent than the guy's entire lineage. And then John beats him up and goes back home to try to put together his son's fragile self-esteem.
And seriously, Squish.
