Library [10/08]

Sure, today was a holiday in some strange, normal places. But this was Fandom, and that meant Sam was doing his usual Monday duty of getting the library open.

Odds are, he would have done it even if it was a holiday. Geek.

"..down the wrong pipe," Peter said, as an explanation for the coughing. Which was a lie, but it was the first thing he could think of.

If he was suaver he would've remembered Sam had just said something else. But this was Peter so... no.

"Oh," Sam said, totally willing to accept that excuse in the name of keeping things simple. "So, have you? Had the urge to start killing people, I mean."

Peter thought about answering "Besides myself in the past couple of minutes?" but he'd promised not to joke about that with Sam. So, out loud, he said, "No. Not lately. Or, uh, ever. I mean Nathan ticks me off sometimes but I think that's genetic."

That managed to get a good laugh out of Sam. "Then I think you're safe from your encounter."

"Guess I should've figured that out when walking outside didn't make me burst into flames," Peter admitted, sheepish. Then, after a second: "That is true for them, right?"

"As far as I know. Not walking in the sun, staying away from garlic and holy water and crosses, those are all important things about being a vampire."

"No hope of swinging that into trying to get out of a midnight mass, huh?" Peter said, with a joking grin.

"I don't know, it might be worth a shot," Sam replied.

"Eh, it's not that bad," Peter said with a shrug. "Besides, I kinda like the tradition."

"Me too. I've only gotten to go a few times, but it always seems like the best mass out of the whole year."

"Didn't know you were Catholic," Peter said, pleasantly surprised.

"Yeah, I'm kind of the only one in the family," Sam replied, thinking about his earlier conversation with Dean.

"Yeah, I don't have that problem," Peter said, grinning. "So - you converted? Everybody else lapsed? Feel free to tell me it's none of my business."

"It's not so much that they lapsed, but...well, I honestly don't know what my dad thinks, except that if he does pray, it's not in a church. And Dean doesn't have any faith at all, after what happened to our Mom."

"Well, you know me," Peter said. "Believe in destiny. My family. That ultimately there's got to be some goodness out there, even if we make it ourselves. Totally sucked at CCD though. Ma kept getting notes about how I kept asking smart-ass questions."

He grinned at Sam when he said that last bit.

Sam feigned a look of shock. "Smart-ass questions? You? I can't believe that at all."

"I thought they were perfectly legitimate," Peter said. "How was I supposed to know she'd get so cranky when I brought up the idea of dinosaurs for pets?"

"You brought up dinosaurs to a CCD teacher? Tell me you didn't go somewhere where they had corporal punishment."

"I saw it on a TV show!" Peter said in his own defense. "Plus I loved hanging out at the Museum of Natural history. I used to get lost in there for hours. Literally. They had to track me down and drag me home. Folks used to get so pissed."

"I think my dad would have killed me if I'd tried anything like that," Sam said, sounding almost jealous. "I'd be willing to make him pissed though, if it meant getting to hang around in a museum for hours."

"We should go," Peter said. "Next time we're in the city. I'll show you all the best spots to hide."

"I'm totally going to remember you said that, and hold you to it," Sam said.

"Name the museum," Peter said. "Could do Natural History, could do the Met - there's tons more."

"Natural History sounds like it could be fun. And interesting too. I apologize in advance if I get really nerdy."

"If you're not impressed by the whale then I don't want to know you," Peter replied, grinning.
