003 {Video} Failed private to Bobby Singer

Jan 06, 2012 12:36

[The first thing you'll notice it that John looks like absolute hell. He's been floating from bar to bar or at least a day. His clothes are completely rumpled and you can practically smell the whiskey and desperation coming off him.]

Hey, Bobby? I need a favor, bad. [He scrubs a hand across his face, looking completely exhausted.] I need to crash ( Read more... )

[Hard to tell what his expression is right now, but Dean is pinching the bridge of his nose.]

...taking a break. Right. And what's this about something happening to me?

[What.]

Dean?!

[Those might be tears you see in your dad's eyes, Dean.]

[Just like mom. Damn, there's a brief moment of shock here then he settles in, and nods.]

I don't remember anything, but yeah. I'm here.

[Sorry, give him a second to collect himself. He's falling apart like a girl, Christ.]

Where are you?

[So he can hug the shit out of you?]

At mom's, I'll come to you. [He's already grabbing his coat and pulling it on.]

[At mom's? Oh, of course she wouldn't even have the courtesy to call and tell him their goddamn son was alive and well in the city again.

Doot beep boot, sending the location of the bar to Dean. It takes a few tries, but the third time he sends the right one.]

I'm in the back.

[Hey man, he got in at 3 am or so. Still, he accepts the location data and heads for the door.]

Alright, I'll be there soon Dad.

[Have a small sad smile that is very much un-dadlike.]

See you soon

[Dean pauses at that and let's his dad seem his tired but soft smile in reply.]

Yeah.

[Then quietly cuts the connection so he can get going.]

[When Dean gets to the bar, he'll find John alone in a dark corner booth. There are two glasses, one full and one empty, on the table, along with a bottle of Jack.]

[It's a sight so familiar to him that it takes Dean back a moment. He shakes his head as he walks over and joins him.] Hey.

[When he sees Dean, John lets out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. There was a part of him that was convinced he was hallucinating, or someone was fucking with him when he was down and out. Seeing Dean alive and well and here, though, it's the best possible thing that could happen to him after these past few terrible weeks.

Hope you don't mind getting hugged to hell and back Dean, because it's happening. Also, it's probably more affection he ever showed you from age 13 onward, but let's not dwell on that.]

[Like he'd ever mind an actual hug from his dad. It's a shock, sure. It makes him feel like he's a kid again. But Dean returns it abet awkwardly, and feels slightly more put together than he has in years. He sticks with it as long as John does and feels reluctant to let go when it's over. But he does.]

It's been a long time, Dad. It's good to see you.

[When he pulls back, it's more to pull himself together than anything.He's still got that image of dean lying dead and bloody on the ground, so having him right here is sort of surreal.]

Good to see you too.

[He slides back into the booth, and vaguely gestures to the other side.]

[The image of John's body going up in flames via the pyre hasn't left Dean. It's just as surreal to see him alive again.

He slides into the other side of the booth and rubs at his temples.]

I only got in a few hours ago, right around three am. Gotta say this place has a heck of a greeting for a guy.

[The next time a patron opens the door, an odd little device slips through. It looks a bit like a roomba, only it's hovering, and it has a very fluffy grey cover on top, kind of like a small cat bed. In actuality, it's a ceiling duster. The important thing here is that nestled on top of the duster is a small covered platter, made of very nice, nigh-indestructible ceramic. Inside are hot, freshly baked cocoa-peanut-butter cookies, lightly dusted with nutmeg and cinnamon.]
