There was a strange little void in between the cushion and the seat back on the passenger’s side of the Impala that was a catchall to all manner of things. Sam liked exploring this space right before he parked his butt because oftentimes there were dangers lurking in the dark in the form of sticky, hairy, smelly things.

Every now and again though, treasure.

“Aha!” Sam said, letting out a crow of triumph as he unearthed a wadded up twenty dollar bill as he slid into his seat. Dean, already settled behind the wheel raised an eyebrow. Sam was expecting more enthusiasm considering they were about six hours away from their closest mail box and didn’t have enough cash to flash to make any seedy bar patrons even remotely interested in a game of pool.

Twenty bucks meant burgers and the next six hours not looking quite as bleak.

“Give it here,” Dean demanded, holding one hand out as he used the other to steer them onto the road.

“Why?” Sam asked, discovering to his dismay that at some point in probably the very distant past, they had been so flush with cash that apparently Dean had taken it upon himself to use the twenty-dollar bill as the final resting place for a wad of gum. The money was salvageable, but just barely.

“Cause it’s mine.”

Sam stopped trying to tweeze the bill open with his fingers without tearing it and retaining most of its structural integrity when Dean made his request. Sam paused in his labors and raised an eyebrow at his brother in return. “No way, dude. Community property,” he protested.

“S’mine. Give,” Dean repeated, waggling his fingers in the space between them.

“Why is it yours?” Sam asked again, finally liberating the money from the gum and only with the tiniest of tears left behind. He carefully smoothed it out on his knee and traced the two and the zero with his pinky.

“Everything in this car is mine,” Dean said like it was a forgone conclusion, written in blood and stone somewhere.

“Who says?” Sam said with a small snort of derision.

“Everything within the confines of this Impala is property of Dean Winchester,” Dean announced, flailing his hand about the car, narrowly missing clipping Sam in the nose, to illustrate his point.

“What, even me?”

“Especially you,” Dean said, tone suddenly serious. Sam blinked at him, looked out the windshield at the road disappearing under them and then turned his gaze back to Dean.

“I’m sorry, I think I just misheard. It sounds like you just said that you owned me.”

“I do,” Dean agreed with a shrug.

“That’s… Dean, you don’t own me.”

“’Course I do,” Dean said, now studiously not looking at Sam, but he wasn’t grinning either which was always the way Sam could tell Dean was messing with him. This was something different. This was… Dean being serious.

“Who says?”

“Dad.”

“Dad who?”

“How many fathers you think we have Sammy?”

Sam had gone back to his default position of just staring at Dean. He really couldn’t have guessed that his innocent discovery of a twenty-dollar bill would lead to something quite so disturbing. “Since when?” he asked instead, almost nervous about what Dean was going to come up with. Dean’s mind and more importantly Dean’s logic was often a scary place to venture into.

“Since you were three and Dad kinda threw you at me and said here, do something with this, it’s all yours,” Dean said, doing a fairly accurate and therefore disturbing impersonation of the late John Winchester, demon hunter.

“I…” Sam began but was at a loss.

Awesome fic. Great job with the unexpected twist. I thought it was going to be an innocent argument over the twenty, but then Dean spoke and shocked me as much as he did Sam.

Since I'm new here, I'll also let you know that I'm a fan of your SPN fic in general. I can't think of a story of yours that I haven't enjoyed. :)

Aw, Dean. Yeah, he totally believes that. And Sam totally doesn't know what to do with that information.

awwwwww omg soo cute and absolutely true!!!!!!!

Wow. I'm not sure if it's adorable that Dean interpreted John's comment to mean that Sam was really his, or sad because, really, that's kinda exactly what happened what with John so wrapped up in hunting by then. I mean, that may have been the only time John said anything to that effect, but his actions sure spelled it.

And duh, Sam! Of course you're Dean's.

This fic is so much awesome, packed into such a small space.

This fic should come with a 'brace yourself for a kick in the guts' warning. It's so fun and full of great brother banter, then it punches you in the face with that "here, do something with this, it's all yours." :( Great writing, but ouch!!

“Since you were three and Dad kinda threw you at me and said here, do something with this, it’s all yours,” That's frighteningly plausible.

Heeee! Loved how serious Dean was about owning Sam and how he remembered John's words exactly. Of course Dean would take that as law--I mean, he'd probably been thinking it since Sam was born, he was just waiting for John to catch up with the program.

Heh. It probably makes sense in Dean-logic. I'll accept Sam's being blindsided, and mellower about their Dad since he became The Late, for his not pointing out that unlike the Impala, he wasn't John's to give away.

I love this. Of course Sam belongs to Dean. And I love the way John apparently handed him over, too! Very cute. ♥

As Sam should know, possession is nine-tenths of the law. Clearly, this means that Dean does in fact own him. Obviously.
