fandomhigh | Library [09/22]

Sam's back at the front desk, and armed with coffee. That should make reading a little better.

Dean, having a free period between classes, decided that it was his god given duty as big brother to go and ~~harass~~ check up on Sammy and his first day of work.

Finding him at the front desk with coffee and his nose buried in a book, Dean observed, "So this is pretty much your idea of heaven, huh?"

Sam looked up and smirked as he marked his page. "If it isn't heaven, it's certainly close enough," he replied. "I didn't think I'd see you in here. You haven't gotten lost or anything, have you?"

"Just because I'm not a geek like some little brothers I could name doesn't mean I don't occasionally visit the library and read a book," Dean informed him with great dignity.

"Yeah, when you have to, for research." Sam snickered. "And I've decided that there's nothing wrong with being a geek."

Dean shrugged and sat on the edge of Sam's desk. "Never said there was. I mean it's not a lifestyle choice I would choose, but..."

Sam rolled his eyes. "Of course not. You're too cool for that," he teased. "But Dawn seems to be especially fond of geekiness, so..."

"So that's still going well?" Dean asked with a grin.

"I think so. I still don't know exactly how to classify what's going on between us, but whatever it is, it's good."

"Generally the accepted term is 'dating,'" Dean said, then narrowed his eyes at his brother. "Don't tell me. You haven't actually asked her out on an official date have you?"

"Well...no? I mean, there hasn't been much of a chance to. And it's not like we don't see each other every day anyway," Sam said defensively.

Dean resisted the urge to facepalm. "Yeah, but you've seen each other every day practically since we got here. If you're going to go out with a girl, you actually have to, y'know, ask her out. Otherwise you end up in situations where you don't know what to call whatever it is you are doing." And yeah, Dean was perfectly aware that some of what he was saying applied equally to him and Alec, but that was completely different. Really. "You need to ask her out. Homecoming's coming up, you couldn't ask for a more perfect opportunity."

Sam looked a little pale at the mention of Homecoming. "I've thought about asking her to Homecoming. A lot. I mean, girls like dances, right? So Dawn probably wants to go?"

Dean gave him a look. "Did Dad drop you on your head as a baby when I wasn't looking? Dude, it's homecoming. Of course she wants to go. And even if she didn't, I can practically guarantee she still wants you to ask her."

"Are you sure?" Sam asked uncertainly. "Because Homecoming means getting dressed up, and dancing, which might not be the wisest thing as far as I'm concerned."

"You don't clean up so bad," Dean told him. "But more to the point, Homecoming means Dawn dressed up. With you getting to look at her all evening."

"I did think about that," Sam admitted, smiling warmly as his mind went to his previous thoughts. "I know she'd look fantastic."

"Well then." Dean spread his hands. "You know what you've got to do."

Knowing what to do didn't wipe the look of worry off of Sam's face. "Yeah, I guess I do. Any tips for how to ask without making a fool of myself?"

"You could try something like 'Hey, wanna go to Homecoming with me?'" Dean told him. "It's not rocket science, Sammy."

"Maybe not for you," he grumbled, glancing at Dean as something occurred to him. "Hey, are you going to go to Homecoming?"

Dean shrugged. "Dunno. Maybe. Depends if I can find someone to go with or if I decide going stag's okay."

Sam couldn't resist snickering to himself. "You don't think Alec wants to go? He could have a dress all picked out, just waiting for you to ask him."

"Dude, I never want to see Alec in a dress because then I'd know what I would look like in a dress. I'm happy to stay in ignorance on that point."

"That's a good point. I think I want to stay ignorant in that respect as well," Sam replied. "So, he'll be okay if you go with someone else?"
