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.

"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."

"Dude, I totally helped raise you and you didn't turn out so bad," Dean shot back before the comment really sunk in. "Wait, that's the second time someone from the future's mentioned me having a kid..."

Sam grinned. "That's because you do have one, sort of. You and Alec kind of adopted a kid."

Dean stared at his brother. "Me and Alec...?"

"Yeah. You rescued him from Manticore, and then you got attached to him, so you guys kept him." Sam snickered to himself. "I make him sound like a pet, sorry."

"Huh," Dean said, a slow smile taking over his face. "So if you and I are hunting together and I'm still with Alec, does that mean the two of you are finally getting along?"

"Oh hell no," Sam replied, laughing. "But we haven't tried to beat each other up in a long time."

"Well that's good. Have to set a good example for the kid and all. Speaking of which, am I an uncle too?"

Sam shook his head. "No, just a dad. I haven't had as much luck in that area as you have."

"You should check and see if older Dawn is seeing anyone -- the way she was talking, I don't think so."

Sam shifted a little in his seat, and started looking interested in his research again. "I don't know. We talked but...it was awkward. I don't think she thinks of me like that anymore."

"Or she doesn't think you think of her like that anymore," Dean countered.

"Dude, I totally think of her like that, all the time," Sam said. "It's Dawn. I've never stopped thinking of her like that."

"I'm not the one you should be telling that to."

"I don't want to make things more awkward between us," Sam replied. "We had a good talk yesterday, and I'm thinking we should keep things like that for a while before I make a move."

Dean facepalmed. "Dude, have you learned anything in the past 20 years? I could have sworn we had this same conversation last year about Dawn before you decided to be a complete idiot and ask a pirate to call you a eunuch."

"I've learned that I don't need to have someone in my life like Dawn, and to take what friendships I can get," Sam said. It was safer that way, after all."

Dean stared at him. "Okay, now I want to go and kick older me's ass because it's obvious he's been falling down on the job if that's what he's letting you settle for."

"Older you knows the things we've been through," Sam pointed out. "He does his job just fine."
