fandomhigh | Good Omens...And Bad: Prophecy in Theory and Practice, Class Six

Monday, October 9, First Period

Since it would be the first sign of the apocalypse if there wasn't a table laden with breakfast pastries and tea...there is indeed a table laden with breakfast pastries and tea. There is also a pile of review handouts for the students to pick up on their way in.

"Good morning everyone. I hope you all had an enjoyable time at the Homecoming festivities. Before we begin, I'd like to remind Miss Halliwell to please turn in your take-home test from the Lab." He smiled at Phoebe.

"Today we're going to have a review of the material we've covered in the first five weeks of class, followed by a test on that material. Your handouts should help you in reviewing, and this is the time to ask any questions you might have."

"Like... girlfriend for example."

"Unless you're telling me he's already got one, we've worked that part out," Dawn informed him with a dopey grin. "I am, and he is, and we're good."

"Yeah?" A wide grin spread across Dean's face. "That's great."

"So you can relax and stop being all nosy," Dawn teased.

"Yeah, except when I'm not all nosy I don't find out things I need to know and do things like ask the girl my brother likes out. Not that I regret at all us going out," he added quickly. "But if I'd known, I probably wouldn't have asked. Well, except maybe asking for him, but..."

"Then I'm happy you didn't know," Dawn said stubbornly, jaw set, "because as much as I like Sam, I'm not sorry you and I dated. At all. There are things you and I did that wouldn't have been the same if I'd done them with Sam. Not bad, just different. And those things were perfect, and I wouldn't trade them."

Dean gave her a slow genuine smile. "It was a really good summer," he agreed. "I wouldn't trade it for anything now either. So yeah, okay bad example of Sammy keeping his mouth shut."

"It was a good summer," she repeated, smiling just as slowly. "But I know what you mean, kinda. And I promise to keep what you said in mind. Soooo....how's Alec?"

Dean chuckled. "That's not the least bit subtle, y'know," he pointed out. "Alec's good. We're good. And I talked to him about the whole making fun of Sammy thing; I think I've got him to stop. At least for a while."

"Subtle? What's that?" She asked with a laugh, then pointed out, "That's good. I really don't want to have to visit Sam in jail."

Dean shook his head. "Would never happen. Dad would never let Sammy rot in jail. Hell neither would I. But yeah, I'd prefer if my brother and my... Alec didn't kill each other."

"Your...Alec?" Dawn grinned. "Want me to ask him if he likes you? I could pass you a note in study hall, if we had study hall."

Dean laughed, imagining Alec's face if Dawn actually did something like that. "No that's okay. Really. He's been pretty good at making it clear how he feels. He just... kinda freaks at pretty much any label that even hints at a relationship so yeah, I kinda stumble over my tongue sometimes trying to figure out how to describe it."

"Do you want him to be your boyfriend?" Dawn asked, unsure how this worked.

Dean shook his head. "Labels don't matter and frankly 'boyfriend' doesn't really seem to fit Alec," he said with a wry grin. "It is what it is. I'm fine with the way things are. Okay, it makes it kinda hard to talk about in nice easy soundbites, but..."

"I think it's okay that it's not a soundbite, unless that's what you want," she decided. "So he's Alec and you're you."

Dean considered, then nodded. "Yeah, that works."

"That's so cute!" She squealed a little.

Dean stared at her. "Cute?"

"Uh huh," she nodded. "I want you to be happy too, Dean."

"I am," Dean told her. "Who'd have thunk it?"

"Um...with Alec? Not a lot of people. Congratulations on being unpredictible."
