"What are you doing?"

Sam had woken up when his still mostly asleep brain had registered the absence of something intrisic, the gentle sound of his brother's snores. Sam would bitch for days about the noise but the simple fact was, he'd gotten used to it. Stanford had been a bleary half-awake nightmare for the first three months of his stay because he just hadn't been able to sleep.

"What's it look like?"

"It looks like your holding a washing machine at gun point," Sam says, ever the stater of simple fact. Dean does indeed have his shotgun resting against the metal side of the washer that had just had the misfortune of being subjected to their clothes earlier that day. It had been a blessing and a curse to find a motel with a public laundry room attached.

A blessing because Dean's clothes were ready to get up and start hunting things by themselves and a curse because... well, they had no excuse not to do washing.

"Bingo."

"Okay, let me rephrase. Why are you doing that?"

"Because the little fucker can't hide forever is why," Dean says, voice a low growl while he nudges the washing machine with what looks like all the menace he can muster. It's not really that menacing considering he's wearing only a t-shirt, boxer shorts and one sock.

"Oh my god, we're not doing this again," Sam groans, slapping a hand to his forehead. He loves his brother, it's true, but he has all these damn quirks. Like sometimes he gets a notion in his head and nothing in the world will shake his resolve. He's also damn picky about what he believes in. "There's no monster that eats socks."

"There is," Dean insists. "It's been following us for five damn states and it got my last pair this morning."

"Well, technically it only got one."

"You're not helping," Dean complains, finally cutting his gaze to Sam. "Why can't you-?"

It's right about then that something dark and fluffy shoots out of the washing machine and straight up the wall opposite. Dean spins but he's too late as it disappears into a vent opposite that has a large hole in it. There's a chittering noise and then what sounds like an long and fairly lusty burp right before the remains of a fairly well-masticated sock thumps to the floor out of the vent.

Sam just stares at his brother for a moment, unable to form words right up until Dean cracks a grin.

"Next time I floor it when I see a rainbow I don't want to hear shit from you."

I knew it! There HAS TO be a sock monster!!

^_________^
Loved your little story!

[ejtheviking.livejournal.com]

Of course there's a sock monster!
Get it Dean! Evil sock stealing thing!

[lembeau.livejournal.com]

Can I just say how much I love this? I can't even begin to express my amusement and glee, lol. When I was younger I had this entire underground sock mafia theory to explain the disappearing socks and this just took it to the next level. Lusty burp, hee! Of course the monster'd followed them 5 states, Dean's socks would be damn tasty.

Plus, the image of Dean in shirts, boxers and one sock and a gun is beyond adorable, in an odd way, lol. Poor washing machine, imagine if it had been sentient?

He loves his brother, it's true, but he has all these damn quirks.

Loved that line, it's so true to the boys. Thank you for sharing!

Hee! Love the image of Dean with one sock on.

[glorfinniel.livejournal.com]

This has put a BIG smile on my face. Love it :)

Obviously, there's some sort of attached dimensional nesting cave where they all roost that somehow connects to laundry rooms everywhere. (I'm picturing this monster as a cross between a bat and that laundry bear.) The ground below is quite colorful, littered with the remains of all those socks...

Dear Dean: You may hunt the sock monster at my house any time. Love, me.

Also, loved this!

[tabaqui]

Heeeeeeeeee!
Oh, i love it.
*snickers*

Especially the t-shirt/boxers/one sock.
Heeee!

[iamstealthyone.livejournal.com]

Tee hee! This was very fun to read. Missing socks drive me nuts. I can’t tell you how many of my girls’ socks go missing in the laundry, leaving orphans wasting away in their sock drawers while I wait for the MIA socks to turn up.
