Log;

After the prank he'd pulled earlier, Sam thought Dean might need a break. He also thought it might be prudent not to be home when Dean got there. So Sam staked out a favorite bar of Dean's, called some of his friends, and left a note.

Dean--

Hey, didn't feel like cooking so I went out. Meet me at [some bar, come on Dean, it's your favorite! they have tater tots], okay? I have something to tell you. Sam

There was a chance Dean wouldn't come, but it was a bar, and the house would be quiet and lonely, and Sam was pretty sure he'd come. In the meantime, he savored the thought of the day Dean must have had...

Sam can get away with it. Probably anytime but particularly on days like this. Dean hugs him back, patting his shoulder and squeezing tightly for just a moment.

"Thanks, Sam." He glances around the room before looking back to Sam. "For all of this."

It's been almost damn normal and considering how his last birthday went...it's very appreciated.

"You deserve it," Sam says, with a twinkle in his eye that means maybe he means the prank. But really, Sam's just not ready to give up on birthdays yet. Maybe Christmas, okay. But his last birthday hadn't gone all that well, and that's ending right here. "Kinda weird, you know?" he asks, turning slightly to take in the small crowd. "Us having friends."

[dudeimbatman]

Yeah, it occurred to him that he meant the prank. Dean likes that he's not ready to give up on birthdays. It's a Sam sort of thing, not give up hope.

Dean glances around the room and then back to Sam before nodding. "Yeah...it is kinda weird. Not hating it though."

There's not a little relief in Sam's smile. He hadn't fucked this up. "In fact," he hazards, taking his own fortifying sip of beer, "you seem pretty... happy here."

Dean frowns a bit considering it. "I don't hate this place. I guess I ought to but home is waiting when ever we get out of here so...I don't see the point."

Besides, even with Mary gone, Sam is here and he's still Sam. That's worth a lot to Dean.

"There's often not a lot of point to how we feel," Sam points out, but it's unnecessary. "But... yeah. I mean..." He looks down, toying with his bottle. "Never thought I'd see Jess again."
