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.

Lurve this! Trust Dean to go with it, "here, do something with this, it’s all yours,” lol!

Beautifully written, so visual, so delightful. Thank you.

Adorable and completely the way Dean thinks about Sam. Love that Sam is so flustered by the idea.

Hehehee... thankyou! That icon is the perfect Sammy expression for this... :D

Nicely done. Good job going from a lighthearted start to a more serious tone.

Favorite lines:

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

*snickers*

“What, even me?”

“Especially you,” Dean said, tone suddenly serious.


Aww. :) And yeah, I can see Dean thinking of Sam as his. No matter how old Sam gets.

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

This makes me kind of sad, thinking about how John gave Dean so much responsibility for Sam at such a young age. But yeah, Dean would totally own up to that, would take it on and take it seriously, because he’s Dean.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely. Thankyou!

One day Sammy will learn not to question Dean-logic and then he'll be able to remain blissfully ignorant of things like who owns him. Heh.

Awesome.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehehee... because Dean-logic is not our earth logic... :D

Oh, yes. I love the finding of the bill, and the bald-faced declaration of ownership of all things.

i was completely unprepared for this to take a left turn into serious, but i like how it did that. i can see how dean might feel possessive about sam.... i mean, he did practically raise his brother on his own.... also? sam's efforts to get the gum unstuck from the twenty made me giggle.

Oh, perfect. Totally Dean. And poor Sammy, all "what? how come?" and "dude, no way", even though any older sibling will tell you that it's OBVIOUS the younger one belongs to them. *nods*

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehehee... I'm a younger sibling and yes, sometimes I got that 'owned' feeling. :D

[identity profile] batgurl10.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
oooooh WOW. I heart this so much! So much to say about why I love it so much, but it would probably end up longer than the actual fic.
This totally is supported by cannon, yall. Dean is VERY possesive of his sammy! and now I know why! :-)

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
He absolutely is... I'm sure there's been a time or two where Sam has woken up with 'property of D. Winchester' written somewhere on him in permanent marker... ;D

Aw this is lovely. I like how you take a lost and found and turn it into something more. Nice!

Thankyou hon!

This is a) incredibly funny and b) slightly disturbing. Which is par for the course when dealing with Winchester family dynamics, so I think that means you did it right! :)

"Here, do something with this, it's all yours." That is just priceless. Even if Dean's notion that he owns Sam is not exactly healthy.

And I love the idea that Dean would stick his gum in a twenty-dollar bill. Sam's focus on the structural integrity of the bill was even better. Bwahaha!

Thanks for a good read.

b) slightly disturbing.

I think that's par for the course with my writing too... ;D

Aw. Winchester family dynamics are cute and messed up.

[identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, probably the best way to describe them... :D

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

And I think we can all see John saying exactly that in exactly those words can't we?

Awesome. I love these little "in between hunts" stories. Dean and Sam are so TYPICALLY brothers- yet its a story like this that remind me why I love their dynamic so much.

I'm a fan of the in between myself if you can't half tell... *smiles*
