Summary: You can spend your lifetime doing laundry.
Disclaimer: Written for entertainment purposes only. No money, no sue.

There are some things Sam knows and he has no idea where the knowledge has come from.

The average person spends approximately twenty four years asleep in their lifetime. They spend two years on the phone and eat thirty five thousand cookies.

They will spend two weeks kissing although Sam’s pretty sure Dean’s reached that hallmark already because c’mon.

However, Sam is also pretty sure that he has spent about eleven million years in a laundromat and experiences a time-shift every time he enters one to accomplish this. It would explain why the décor never changes. The clocks start going backwards as soon as the machine clicks on, eating your change and not really guaranteeing clean clothes or that they will come out the same colour they went in, or at all. Sometimes they will still vaguely smell like swamp creature no matter how much bleach you dump in with the load because that shit is nasty.

He also knows, without fail, that Dean will –

“Hey, I forgot about these!”

Yep, right on time.

Sam watches Dean lift the lid on the machine that’s nearly done and dump a whole stack of t-shirts in that have probably been in the footwell of the Impala for two months, zombie guts congealing and making an unmovable stain. “Dean, those were nearly clean,” Sam snaps when Dean drops the lid again.

“You can just start it up for a second go-round when it finishes,” Dean says, shrugging and helping himself to the neat stack of coins Sam has placed on the next machine, wandering over to the vending machine in the corner to see what’s on offer. Sam’s stay in the laundromat extends by five point eight million years.

Fifty percent of Americans have grey hair before they reach fifty and Dean Winchester can drive his little brother up the wall in under three seconds.

“You could’a just started another machine,” Sam says, exasperation colouring his tone and arm sweeping to indicate that they are indeed completely alone and there are twenty machines sitting idle.

Dean Winchester will allude to the fact that Sam Winchester is indeed a female at least eighty seven times in a single twenty-four hour period. “Do you have your period or something?” Dean asks.

“Just can’t you… I don’t know. Be a little more considerate?” Sam huffs and can see Dean’s expression melt into a you’re kidding right? frown.

“Well sor-ry your majesty,” Dean snorts and opens the machine back up, digging into it for the offending t-shirts that are now hopelessly tangled with Sam’s jeans and two hoodies. Dean pulls the entire lot out and dumps it on the floor, an arc of sudsy purple foam that smells like death and kitty litter hitting Sam square in the chest and soaking his single clean shirt. Dean half-turns and then bites his lip to fight back the smirk that really wants to break free.

Sam stares down at his sodden shirt for a moment in abject disbelief before looking back up at Dean.

He’s pretty sure that by the end of the day the murder rate for Wisconsin is going to go up by one.

AHAHAHAHA.

Ha.

I love this. I have quite a bit of experience with laundromats myself, and everything you said...yes, yes yes. And all the statistics? So something our very own Walking Encyclopedia of Weird would know.

And Dean...hee. I love the guy, but I think just about anybody would be ready to kill him. Poor Sammy.

Hehehee... I see Dean being the most endearing/infuriating person ever... :)

Bwee. I love when they're being annoying at each other like that. This is also a glimpse of the ordinary routines they have to do, like anyone else -- only there's zombie guts on the laundry.

I'm a sucker for domestic Winchester if you can't half tell... *smiles*

From: [identity profile] elaeazeph.livejournal.com


*laughs* Oh, that's cute. You write the boys like boys, in that roll-the-eyes-at-them way. (Which is meant to be contrasted with the fact that most writers will write boys through the girl-filter.) I scoffed aloud at Dean for dumping them all on the floor, and I certainly appreciate the kind of realistic writing that can produce that kind of reaction. Excellent job; short and light-hearted. Just what I needed! :)

Oh, I could so see this - good job!

eat thirty five thousand cookies

Seriously? For real? If so, I think I need to work harder at eating cookies...

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Hahahaa... I found the stats on the net so it's possiblymaybealmosttrue... :)

From: [identity profile] wilwarin1.livejournal.com


Oh, awesome!!

Dean is the best big brother in the world...most of the time.

I can so understand Sam's frustrations here!!

From: [identity profile] luxorien.livejournal.com


Lawl! Love it. So Sam and so Dean. Gets into the mundane aspects of their life without losing their unique style. And I <3 the statistics motif.

*snickers*

Poor Sam. Dean really can be a pain in the butt.

Fun fic!

From: [identity profile] tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com


heeee. poor sam. he would know all those statistics, too. and why should dean start a new load of wash when there's one already going? *snicker*

From: [identity profile] dev-earl.livejournal.com


AHAHAHAHA.

Dean Winchester truly is a brother. *g*

I adore all the tiny facts Sam knows. Especially the last one. Hee!

Hehe!! This is too much fun. I love this: Dean Winchester will allude to the fact that Sam Winchester is indeed a female at least eighty seven times in a single twenty-four hour period. “Do you have your period or something?” Dean asks.

Such a very accurate way of summing up Dean's responses to Sam's complaints.

Great job :-)

haha this is great. you know... an abnormally high number of serial killers have come from wisconsin... but thats neither here nor there
interesting story. i always like seeing them do random day to day activities. :O)

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Really? Maybe they were all driven insane by bothersome brothers... !!

From: [identity profile] keziah14.livejournal.com


Oh Boys!
This was so neat ^_^
Love all the statistics, and it's so like Sam to know them hehheh.
:)
You really are good at brightening my day!

From: [identity profile] adannu.livejournal.com


Hah! Sam is so going to get Dean for that. And Dean is pretty but that kind of attitude would drive a saint to drink.

From: [identity profile] panicstrickyn.livejournal.com


This is great - funny but real, and all the little statistics are so well chosen and perfectly placed. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the inside of Sam's head sounds like, spewing out random bits of information like ticker tape. Awesome job. :)

From: [identity profile] maychorian.livejournal.com


Ah! Adorable! And a very clever way to tie it all together.
