Library [11/19]

Sam had very fond memories of working in the library during high school. When he remembered it was Monday, the day he'd usually had his shift, he headed down to the library and situated himself behind the desk with a small stack of books, and a look that dared anyone to try to get him to leave.

Sam caught the bag and grinned at Dean. "The need for a quiet place to do research never goes away," he said. "I'm glad you came by, I was just starting to think about lunch."

"Twenty years later and you still can't feed yourself," Dean teased.

"I was going to go feed myself," he said. "Eventually."

"Uh huh. Probably some time when you noticed the sun had gone down."

"That counts as eventually too," Sam teased. "Seriously though, thank you."

"Any time," Dean said. "Y'know you never did tell me last night what you were doing now. Just that I was still the best hunter around."

Sam wasn't sure how much of the future he should tell Dean, but no paradoxes had been created yet, so he figured he might be all right. "We're both still hunting," he said, taking a bite of sandwich. "I make you do all the hard work though. I do mostly researching for people."

"Yeah? So we're still a team?"

Sam smiled. "Yeah, we're still a team. Never really could get the hang of working without you," he said. "And somebody's got to make sure you don't get killed, 'cause God knows you can't do it for yourself."

"I bet you still get into more trouble than I do," Dean declared.

"I still get choked more," Sam admitted. "But we're pretty equal on the trouble scale."

"A matched set, huh?" Dean said with a little grin and then got more serious when he asked, "So college wasn't all that great after all?"

"It wasn't so bad. I don't regret going," Sam said. "But...it wasn't the transformation to normalcy that I thought it would be."

Dean shook his head. "I'm never going to understand the hard-on you get for normal. We wouldn't be who we are if we were quote, unquote 'normal.'"

"I know," Sam said, shrugging. "I wanted to see what kind of person I could be if I wasn't me."

"You do realise that makes absolutely no sense."

"Yes, it does," Sam replied. "I wanted to see if being normal would make me a better person."

"Sammy, you're one of the best people I know," Dean told him. "Okay, also a giantic pain in my butt a lot of the time, but..."

"I know," Sam said, smiling softly. "I mean, I went to school, and it didn't make me any different. I was just me, away from you, and Dad, and Zoe and Grace. And it sucked."

"I'm pretty sure I've pointed that out to you that it would," Dean couldn't resist told you so'ing.

"Yeah, you did. But there was a difference between me just listening to you, and me finding that out on my own," Sam said. "Then I could come back without any regrets."

"What, my word's not good enough for you?" Dean joked.

"It is now," Sam replied.

"Slow learner."

"Not as slow as you, especially when it comes to parenting."
