Summary: Sam tries to figure out what's bothering Dean. Written for slashthedrabble.
"Dean, I honestly didn't know that you were trying to work her for free pie. I would not have reached for your hand across the table if I knew."
Stony silence.
"How about I buy you pie with supper? Will that make it up to you?"
"It's not the same."
"Same as what? Last time I checked, pie was still just pie, no matter how obsessed you are with it."
More silence. Sam gave up and decided that he'd be better off getting some sleep than trying to get Dean to forgive him for his little mistake back at the restaurant.
Sam woke when the Impala stopped.
"I'm tired of driving. We're stopping here for awhile," Dean announced. He put on his sunglasses, slumped down in the driver's seat and pretended to try to sleep.
Sam moved quietly across the seat until he could breathe in Dean's ear, "I'm sorry that I can't keep my hands to myself in public." Sam slid a hand up Dean's arm and Dean snatched it away.
"What is it that's really bothering you, Dean? This can't still be about a piece of pie."
"It's about being seen as a man," Dean grumbled and turned his back to Sam.
Sam was confused. "You don't think I see you as a man?"
"Like a woman sees a man, Sam. I need to know that a woman still thinks I'm desirable. That's what makes me feel like a man. The pie is just extra."
"You need some waitress to get all starry-eyed for you to feel tough and cool?"
Dean gave an uncomfortable shrug, "Yeah. I can't help it. It's just how it is."
"It's no big deal, Dean. Just let me know the next time you're going to work the charm and I'll go along with it. "
"Really?"
"Yeah. Did you think I'd mind?"
Dean turned onto his back. "I wasn't sure what you'd think."
"Baby, if that's what it takes for you feel like yourself, I'm all for it," Sam smiled.
"You're not yanking my chain?" Dean was cautious.
"Seriously, it's not a problem."
Dean smiled wide. "I knew there was a reason I loved you."
"You mean besides my body?" Sam smirked.
"You do have an awesome body," Dean eyed Sam up and down and looked like he was going to start to drool. "But, it's your open mind that makes me stay."
