The pretty girl in the diner... (for lil_nellie)

[likely_evil]

RP for demon!Sam verse

They were in a diner having lunch as they drove through town. Alec and Dean had said there was a job. There was always a job. Something to hunt. Someone to save. Family business.

Alec and Dean had left Sam in the diner to go and get supplies. So he sat there in some new clothes that Dean had got him. Jeans. A shirt that buttoned down. A white shirt under it. lace up boots and new socks and underwear.

Right now he was curled up on his side of the booth. There was a plate of french fries in front of him. And a big pile of ketchup. And a big soda with a straw. His laptop was in his lap and he was researching water wraiths. He was being useful.

His eyes were glued to the computer and every now and then his hand would grab a fry without looking, dip it in the ketchup, and eat it.

Sam helped Dean and Alec like this, and he was going to help a lot. And he wasn't allowed to leave the diner. The Impala was outside, but Sam had to stay right there until Dean and Alec got back.

Comments

"You can ride bulls in Texas. The rodeo is the official sport there."

Yeah, like Sam was going to make this easier. He had no idea what was going on. Mentally, he was five. He didn't know what flirting was anymore.

First the menu hit the table, then Alec's forehead. They were killing him. He was going to hurt himself trying not to laugh.

Dean had half a mind to smack him. But he was going to restrain himself. For the sake of the company.

He just shrugged back in Nellie's direction. "I don't know. Seems like there's a lot of places that would be pretty nice to live."

Her teeth fell over her bottom lip at Sam's comment. Hard. It had been way too long since she'd gotten any and the hot boy making hot comments - knowingly or not - was not helping. She nodded, keeping her eyes on Dean. "Sure, there probably are, but they're not for me."

"I like California. Lots of beaches. And I want to learn to surf." He smiled a bit. "You ever go to California?" he asked Nellie.

[smart-alec494.livejournal.com]

Alec wrinkled his nose. He wasn't a fan of open water. Or. . .water anywere that wasn't in a shower or a sink. At least it curbed his urge to laugh. He still didn't trust himself to talk though.

[jstliketherifle.livejournal.com]

Dean nodded slowly at her comment, before listening to Sam talk about California. And tried not to remember why Sam had left California to begin with. Those were bad memories he didn't need.

She smiled. "I love beaches. I could spend my whole life on a beach." She looked down in her glass and sipped from it, trying to think only pure thoughts.

[likely_evil]

"It's fun to run on the beach. Warm sand between your toes, then diving into the cold water for a long swim."

He was remembering the first time they had gotten to the beach. He had been 4, and built castles with Dean.

[smart-alec494.livejournal.com]

Ugh. they could keep their swimming. Alec? Alec had a jelly packet. He pulled the little foil wrapper back and licked it.

[jstliketherifle.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, California's a nice place," Dean nodded.

Nellie got her pancakes then and quietly leaned over them to eat, unsure what to say to the guys. It'd been a lot easier before the happy couple showed up.

[likely_evil]

Sam looked at Nellie, then at Dean and Alec. Now he realized something was not right. Nelli wasn't smiling at much. She was quiet. Alec was quiet. Dean was watching Nellie with a look Sam didn't understand.

He bit his lip. He had to fix it. How can he make everyone smile again?

"Can we all go to a movie? We need to laugh, and movies make people laugh."

[smart-alec494.livejournal.com]

Alec blinked at Sam, and then looked around at the table. Oops. "Did you have one in mind?" He wasn't sure if Sam knew what was playing, but you never knew what Sam would pick up on. And he pretty much never wanted to dampen Sam's good mood.

Dean turned to his brother and waited for him to answer, as well as tried to relax a bit. He still wasn't sure he liked the idea of this girl hanging around his brother, but he didn't want to upset Sam either.

Nellie felt unwelcome. She shook her head. "I really can't, Sam. I have to get back on the road. In fact.." she set her fork beside her unfinished meal. "I should do that."

[likely_evil]

Nellie was now subjected to the biggest set of puppydog eyes that Sam managed to muster. Because she really did look sad now. She hadn't been until Dean and Alec came. She was smiling and happy before.

So he pouted. "You sure?" he asked softly.

[smart-alec494.livejournal.com]

Alec, sitting beside Nellie, was caught in the beam. "Oh God. Those should be registered as a deadly weapon."

He turned to Nellie. "Look, I'm sure I did something to make you think I'm an ass. And I am, I'm sure. But it's nothing personal. I'm just weird? And Dean, he's just real protective of his baby brother. So. Yeah. Uh.. . make Sam stop making that face."

[jstliketherifle.livejournal.com]

"You think they're bad now, try when he was really five," Dean muttered, before looking over at her.

"Sam's -- a little special. I don't want you getting the wrong idea."

[lil-nellie.livejournal.com]

She gave Dean a look as sour as she could muster. "I didn't have any ideas, thanks. Like I said...I have to go."

[likely_evil]

Sam also looked at his brother. There was something in his eyes that showed he was not happy with that Dean had said.

"That was mean," Sam stated. "You should say you're sorry to Nellie."

[smart-alec494.livejournal.com]

Alec wondered how he had become the adult here. Since he was pretty sure he was the youngest person at the table.

He also didn't think Dean meant special as in short bus. He thinks Dean meant special as in special. Kinda like a short way of saying 'my reason for living.' And that meant protecting Sam from everything. Including flirting women. He wasn't quite sure how to fix this though.

"Look. Um. . " See here is where he got stuck. "You two were having a good time before Dean and I showed. And uh. . .maybe Sam was kinda missing the flirty subtext," And he didn't say that like there was anything wrong with flirting. Because, seriously? It was flirting. Harmless. "but you were still having a good time. So . . you try to not let the freak brigade scare you away from a decent meal and a good conversation and Dean will try and tone down his mama bear impression. I'll try not to act like a complete ass and we're all order pancakes?" He gave the entire table a wide eyed, hopeful look.

[jstliketherifle.livejournal.com]

Dean caught the look from his brother, then looked away, diverting his attention back to the menu and away from Nellie. He wasn't going to apologize for being protective of his brother. That was just job, and he wasn't going to say he was sorry for doing it.

He probably should apologize for being an ass, however. He wasn't, but at least he was acknowledging that he should. Instead he just did as Alec suggested and backed off, turning his attention elsewhere.

[lil-nellie.livejournal.com]

She rolled her eyes and looked at Alec. "Excuse me, can I get up?" She really had no interest in being around stubborn, moody men right then. Sam was sweet, Alec was okay, but Dean was not worth taking time from her road trip. She just wanted to leave.

[likely_evil]

Sam looked at his brother a moment longer, then shook his head at Alec. No, let her go, he meant, and he pushed his plate of fries further away as he pouted in the corner.

"Goodbye then. Nellie."
