Dean didn't even remember passing out, or falling asleep. In fact, there was a lot he didn't remember. Why he was in a room surrounded by popcorn and covered in butter might have been at the top of the list, but there was a rather large blank spot in his memory that was worrying him

The popcorn room had become part of Sam's regular rounds through the school. He still visited the library, still spent time with Cas and Death, and most evenings were occupied with Sookie; but he still felt his brother's absence keenly. He stayed in the same room that he'd shared with Dean, unable to bring himself to pack up his things or move anywhere else. He had to hang on to the hope that sooner or later, Dean would find his way home.

In the meantime, he passed by the popcorn room every day, hoping that he'd catch a familiar sight, or more likely, a familiar bellow.

His morning round was no different than any other, and he walked past with a mug of coffee in one hand. Sam froze at the voice, relief sweeping over him like a wave. He pushed the door open and grinned at his brother before enveloping him in a crushing hug.

"Hey Dean."

"Oof! Get offa me you you giant-" Dean froze. That smile flashed across his mind, the voice.... For a moment he just stood there, silently taking it all in. How was this possible? He'd watched Sam fall into the pit. There was no way....

"Sammy?" He hugged him back tightly, voice catching in his throat.

Sam pulled back, still grinning at his brother. It didn't matter that his shirt was covered in butter (again), or that they were both very likely to land on their asses on the greasy floor. Dean was back.

"Welcome back, dude. It's okay if you don't remember, this place kinda does that to some people. Hey, we gotta tell Cas you're here too." Sam knew he was rambling, but he couldn't seem to stop it. Dean was back. He was safe. That was all that really mattered.

[onefootinhades]

Welcome back? He'd been here before? Dean pulled back to look his brother over, continuing to hold tight to Sam's arms as if he might vanish if he let go. So many quations were filling his mind, boiling over. Where was this place? How did he get here? How was sam alive and what happened to lucifer? Why the hell was he covered in butter?

He opened his mouth to ask but all the questions seemed to want to leave his mouth at once, so what came out instead was a strangled jumble of unintelligible syllables.

The archangel arrived with a soft whump of displaced air, leaning casually against the wall and watching Dean slip and slide with a highly amused look on his face.

"Oh don't look so stunned, Peaches. You've done this little song and dance before. A few times actually."

[onefootinhades]

"Yeaah? Well then why don't I remember it?" He glared at Gabriel as he tried to pull himself up again and fell. "Dammit! ...Hang on a second." He looked back at the archangel sharply. "You're supposed to be dead!"

[low_key_angel]

Gabriel manifested a candy bar and considered Dean with a smirk. "Been hit too many times in the head? An impossibly thick skull and small brain? Could be any number of reasons why don't remember Dean-o."

He tore into the candy with gusto and waggled his eyebrows. Yes, he was supposed to be dead, but it'd be fun to make the chucklehead wonder for a little while at least.

ohgod, that icon!

[onefootinhades]

Oh he'd forgotten how easily Gabriel could get on his nerves. If he didn't owe him for saving their asses at that pagan motel stint...

"Thanks. Great. That was even less than not helpful."

Sookie was making the rounds, actually looking for Sam, she knew he came around the popcorn room hence her sticking her head in to look " Sam? You in here?" she called out. There was a blink at the mess on the floor then at the butter coated Dean." Dean! Thank goodness." She found her self extremely happy to see him and butter be damned she was going in for a hug, and probably a metric ton of awkward.

[onefootinhades]

[Oh man. Hot chick hugging him. This would normally be a good thing, but it's obvious he's supposed to know her and it's a little embarrassing that he doesn't]

Good to see you too....You.

[lovereallybites]

Fortunately, she was too glad to see him for it to register that it didn't seem he knew her.

She held up a finger. " I'll go get, Sam." she smiled to him. " He is going to be so happy to see you. He about drank himself stupid because you were gone ya know."

oops! brackets!

[onefootinhades]

Sounds like Sam to me." He snorted fondly and gave his head a shake. They were the worst kind of symbiotes.
