Over at the interactive Supernatural Challenge Community
SPNland, they finally had a writing challenge and I thought I'd post my entry here now that it was over. I belong to Team Sam (thanks
muses_circle) and we are kicking ass. So while my little effort did not win anything, Team Sam once again took first place in points - Go US!!
Title: Next Time
Characters: Dean and Sam
Spoilers: None - Set Preseries
Prompt: Luck
Dean had left the Impala on the other side of campus. It was too much like a big neon sign announcing his presence when he was trying to be stealthy.
Now, he stood in the shadows of the quad watching Sam be an ordinary college guy.
His Brother sat on a blanket next to a blond chick having a picnic. Dean couldn't remember doing anything as normal as taking girl on a picnic.
Half-eaten food was pushed to one side in favor of text books, but they were doing more kissing than studying which made Dean smile.
She's way out your league, Sammy, he chuckled.
Dean desperately wanted to talk to Sam, but he couldn't bring himself to approach the idyllic scene; afraid that his brother wouldn't be happy to see him. It had been over a year since Sam had abandoned them…him with no contact. Dean finally understood why he'd left and he truly hoped that Sam would be lucky enough to find the normal life he wanted.
Dean took one last look at Sam, willing him to stay safe, before heading back to the Impala. Next time, he thought. Next time I'll say hello. He almost believed that.
