Library [06/02]

Once the library was set up for the day, Sam went into list-making mode. One set of lists was everything he planned on taking with him to New York vs. what he was going to leave at the house vs. what he was going to throw out or give away. Then came the lists of what was going to get packed together (to lead to the fewest amount of boxes possible, of course), and then the lists of what he was going to bring to New York when he visited Peter vs. what he'd be bringing when he actually moved. That list was mostly books; hopefully Peter wasn't kidding about putting up more bookshelves for him or they were going to be tripping over Sam's collection in every room.

"I guess I'll plan for both then," Sam said. "Do you believe me when I say it's not about getting away from you?"

"Yeah," Dean said. "But it's not about that, not the way you're making it out. It's not about you getting away so much as you not caring to stay."

"I care a lot. I'm going to miss this place like crazy," Sam said. "I just...miss Peter more, I guess."

"More than you'll miss me. Us. The family." And, okay, maybe he was irritated -- to say the least -- at this. "This is possibly the last few months we'll have to be here -- be home -- together like this for who knows how long you're blowing off the opportunity just to move in with your boyfriend a couple months sooner."

"That's not what I meant. Right now, I don't miss you at all, because I'm here. I'm sure that when I'm in New York, I'm going to miss you just as much as I've missed you all year," Sam said.

"Yeah, but this opportunity won't be here later," Dean pointed out. "Hell, you think I didn't miss Alec last summer? You think I don't miss him now? But I stayed last summer and I came back this summer because I wanted us to have these last few months together in the same world before we go on to completely different lives."

Now it was Sam's turn to frown. "It's not like I'm going to go to college and we're never going to see each other again, is it?" he asked. "I mean, you're going to come visit me and I'm going to come whenever you need help with a hunt and--right?"

"If you're not too busy being all college boy with your boyfriend," Dean muttered.

"Hey," Sam said sharply, trying to look Dean in the eyes. "I will never be too busy for you. Got it?"

Dean stared at Sammy for a minute, weighing whether he should ask the question that was on the tip of his tongue or not. It wasn't the least bit fair, but he really didn't feel like being fair right now. "What if I asked you to stay the rest of the summer?"

Sam sighed, looking more guilty than he had all afternoon. "Dean, I can't. I'm sorry."

"Right," Dean said, with a slow nod. "Guess I know where we stand then."

"No, you don't," Sam said shortly. "I'm sorry I won't be around and I'm going to miss you like crazy, but I can't change my plans."

Dean took a deep breath and deliberately changed the subject. "You can talk about phone sex however you want in class, I'll leave the details up to you, but you don't have to say anything that you feel like would embarrass you."

Sam sighed softly, and nodded. "I'll come up with something, I promise."
