"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?"

Dean nodded. "Alec and me, we've got an... understanding."

"Better than the understanding he had with Jaye, I hope?"

"I'm not Jaye," Dean pointed out the obvious. "I know what I'm getting into and I know what Alec's capable of. I'm not suddenly going to go insane and freak out because Alec acts like Alec."

"Well, that's reassuring, because you're best at your current level of insanity. You get any crazier and we might have a real problem," he teased. "But seriously, I am glad you guys have figured stuff out. You're ahead of me, at least."

Dean grinned. "I'm older. Experience counts for something."

"Is there ever going to be a situation where you being older won't be a suitable answer for everything?" Sam asked, rolling his eyes.

"Not as long as I am older," Dean shot back with a smirk.

"You're lucky that wasn't a four year portal," he teased half-heartedly.

"Wouldn't matter if you did lap me in age," Dean said with a shrug. "I'd still be your big brother."

"Yeah, I guess you would be," Sam admitted. "It's too bad that 'I'm younger than you are' doesn't work to end arguments the same way."

Dean shrugged again. "No one said life was fair."

"Life is fair for older brothers, but not younger ones, right?"

"Nah. We got to fall the older brother rules of conduct," Dean said deadpan.

"Do I even want to know what those are? Or am I not allowed to know because I'm not an older brother?" he asked, laughing.
