This girl, Samantha or Sarah or something. Blonde. Hot. These long ribboned braids running right down her back. They’d rescued her sister, and she’d made sure they had towels and first aid kits and hot drinks after. She’d brought Sam in this medicinal crap without asking.
“Peppermint tea,” she announced, setting it down. Sam leaned back and twitched his nose reflexively. “Try it, seriously, it’ll make you feel better. Great for coughs and congestion.”
Sam just rubbed at his nose and murmured a stuffed-up thank you.
“You want some coffee Dean?”
“Sure,” he shrugged. “That’d be great.”
Sam rolled his eyes when she headed back into the kitchen and unfolded a wad of tissue from his pocket.
“Dude, you have to tell her.”
“It’ll be finde.” He blew his nose ineffectually and took a sip, pressing a knuckle against his nostril with a grunt of discomfort.
“Here you go.” She breezed back in to the living room with a coffee and a pot of sugar for Dean. Dean winced as Sam creased up his face, obviously uncomfortable.
“Hhh…HHhh… Huh’HUHuhAHHtChCHYEW!”
The girl set the cup down in a hurry. “Oh God Sam, bless you.” She hurried over with a box of Kleenex and Sam somehow managed a nod of thanks as his eyes leaked and his breathing jerked uncontrollably.
“Huhh…HuHEHSHHHshyew! TSCHhhhSHYEW! TCHhhhhYEW! TSHHH’SHYEW! TSCHHHUH! SHHHUH! TSCHHH’SHYEW! Ugh, Jeez.”
Maybe it was because he was ill, or whatever, but in years, Dean had never seen Sam have a reaction like this. He leant into his brother when the girl went running for more Kleenex.
“Sam, seriously.”
“HEHpTSCHchyew! TSCHyewww! PPttCHyeww!”
“Tell me you’re at least going to hit that.”
“ESCHH! EtCHHH! EhHSCHYEW! Yuhhh- You know I think I’m actually a little less congested… HuhhASCH’SHYEW!

“Half-price candy with every gas purchase,” Dean had announced. “You want one?”
He had thrust a bag of toffees in his brother’s face and tried not to smile as Sam unwrapped one.
His brow furrowed as he chewed, and he brought a fist up to his mouth.
“HhHPTchCHUH! “ He sniffed. “Ugh. I think these are mint, Khh’HhhATCHAH!” Sam rubbed at his nose with his wrist. “Are these assorted toffees?”
“I guess,” Dean answered, popping a toffee into his own mouth as he started the car.
“ThhSCHuhhhh!” Sam sneezed into his cupped hands. “TSCHHuhhhh! HuuhSCHUHhh! HEPT’TSCHUH! Ugh! God!” He wiped his nose on his wrist and sniffed, filing in the glove compartment for a napkin. “EhhhUSHCHHshyew! Shit.” He spat out the toffee into a folded paper cloth. “Ugh. If I try to eat that I’m just gonna keep on sneezing.”
Dean leaned over from where he sat in the driver’s seat. “Wanna try another?” He offered, with a grin. “Hey, it’s like Russian roulette.”
Sam grinned and took another toffee. He pinched at the bridge of his nose and his face instantly fell.
“HKKkYEW! TCHSHYEW! Huhhh…HuhhhTiiSCHHH! Shit!” He rubbed furiously at his nose and frowned, taking in the situation. “Uh, Dean… is it a bag full of mint toffees?”
Dean met his eye for a split second and that was apparently all it took.
“Damnit, you… ESSHH! ESHHH! You fucking bastard!”

“Peppermint!” Lisa suggests, hair kinda swishing back behind her shoulders as she turns around to Dean, face all a-fucking-glow. She’s looking at air freshener for this fancy-ass gadget they have, that will switch from one fragrance to another. “Peppermint will feel really Christmasy!”
“Sure. “ Dean tells her in return. “Sure. No reason why not.”
It’s funny what you miss about a person.

you really have a talent for, like, getting stuff to connect. i'm trying to think of the right term for it. it's like… umm… like you're very good at composition. everything always has such a nice flow to it and that's a LOT more difficult to do than you make it seem! i am always really impressed.
okay, and let's see, god all these details i don't even know where to start because you just NAILED everything that i was looking for and then some (which you always seem to do). like… sam shaking his hair out of his face (man have i got a thing for his hair) and how he insists on using the toothpaste which suggests that he's really not TOO bothered by all of the sneezing, and he's just so casual about it (which also kind of implies that he's USED TO IT, oh my god) and that's really really hot.
aww, and you gave him a cold in the second part!! my favorite kind, where he's so stuffed up that it's really screwing with his speech and also coughing like crazy but still feeling okay enough to hunt. i swear i could read about that type of cold hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times and it would never get old.
also, mid-october is my favorite time of year.
and sam having to drink the medicinal PEPPERMINT tea while dean gets coffee (which is such a normal drink)!! i love it. and sam with the tissues in his pockets, like he's been using them all day and he knew that he'd have to so he came prepared. also dean's empathetic wince because he knows that sam is about to sneeze!!
and sam is being so well-taken-care-of, which is really sweet and great. and the "ugh, jeez" at the end of the fit is so hot too! gosh. actually, i'm really loving all of the dialogue throughout this entire thing. really really a whole lot.
"tell me you're at least going to hit that." TOTALLY DEAN. i love it.
the PRANK WAR! yes! i like sam sneezing into his fist and hands in this one, i don't know, it's like so urgent and the hands are the most accessible because there's less twisting and contorting and you don't see that as much and sometimes deviation from the norm is just, like, extremely hot, i guess. and they're coming so FAST and he's so exasperated at first but at the same time just so casual. my favorite ever.
dean's russian roulette comment! i love his reaction to the thing throughout this entire fill, he's so, i don't know, so CHEEKY. it's amazing. and how he's about to trick sam into trying however many of the mint toffees and making him think that there's a chance of him getting one that won't make him sneeze!! the beeeest.
and oh man, the ending! i know i said it back up there at the top but seriously, the way you tie this in to the beginning is so perfect! poor poor dean. (although it makes me feel better knowing that sam is going to come back.)
yeah, yes, this was so so good. WOW. thank you so much!!!!
