comment_ficGood morning/afternoon/evening, everyone. I'll be your guest host for the week & I'll always try to post as close to 12am PST as I can (though of course there may be times when I fall asleep & post a little late... which is what's happening right now, please forgive me). Our first theme is TV Tropes. Invariably, all forms of entertainment media rely on tried-&-true creative devices to shape their stories, develop their characters, just get their points across, etc, & today we're using those tropes as prompts.
You can visit the TV Tropes site here & pick out any trope(s) you like. Careful, though - people sometimes get lost in that site, it's so vast & so awesome!
Please keep these rules in mind when posting prompts:
Supernatural, Dean/Castiel, hands-on approach
Inception, Arthur/Eames, did I just say that out loud?
CWRPS/Supernatural, Misha/Castiel/Dean, the existence of an identical stranger should probably be a bit more upsetting... though, at the moment, Dean's having a hard time remembering why
Nothing really interesting you today? That's alright, there are plenty of Lonely Prompts out there waiting for love.
Alright, you crazy kids. Have fun!

Date: 2010-09-28 02:36 am (UTC)And he'll make sure you know it.
1) The Motel
Dean is starting to get used to not having Sam around. Not that he likes it, but it's for the best, he's sure of it. He can't trust Sam, and you have to be able to trust your hunting partner. But asking for a room with one bed took awhile to get used to. He's finally getting the hang of it.
He barely thinks twice about it tonight when he's booking the room.
"One bed or two?" the clerk asks.
"One."
The clerk raises her eyebrows, which seems strange to Dean until he notices the faint feeling that someone is standing right behind him. Sure enough, when he turns around, he find himself about one inch from Castiel's face.
"Oh, hey, Cas," Dean says as he ignores the way his stomach jumps.
"Hello Dean," Cas says, ever stoic.
"That'll be $45.50 for the one bed," the clerk says as Dean turns back around.
Dean pays and takes the key from her.
"I'd be careful, if I were you," she says before Dean and Castiel leave.
"Careful?" Dean asks.
"Yeah. I mean, I'm okay with it, but this is a small town. Closed-minded folks, you know." She raises her eyebrows meaningfully and Dean gets it.
"Oh, no, we're not--I mean, we're just--" but he couldn't figure out how to explain to her why he only needs one bed when he has a friend with him.
"I'm not gay," is all Dean can think of to say.
The clerk holds up her hands defensively, as if to say that she's not judging, and Dean thinks of telling her again, but Castiel pulls at Dean's arm and leads him out to the parking lot.
And yeah, Dean's pretty sure Cas spent the whole night watching him sleep, and for some reason, it didn't bother Dean as much as it had all the times before.
Dean thinks that that's okay, because it just means he likes feeling like someone's watching his back again.
He thinks maybe it makes Cas a little gay, though.
Heterosexual Dean 2/5
Date: 2010-09-28 06:02 am (UTC)Sam's back. It's only been a day, but they're falling into old habits. Sam's reading the newspaper to see if they can find a local case and Dean's staring at the menu, trying to decide between pancakes and waffles.
"Get both, Dean," Cas' voice comes from the side, sounding suspiciously patronizing.
Before Dean can object, pointing out that he's not a pig, Cas continues as he slides into the booth next to Dean. "I will eat whatever you don't eat."
Dean smirks, now sure that Cas is patronizing him, but he can't find it in himself to care.
"Hey, Cas," Sam says distractedly just as their waitress, a fiery red-head with a name-tag that reads "Hailey" arrives to take their order.
Sam orders an egg-white omelet, which Dean rolls his eyes at, and Dean orders for him and Cas.
Dean then begins to question Cas about what he's been up to lately, and Cas is reliably vague, but still entertaining.
When their food arrives, Sam finally puts the newspaper away, announcing that there weren't any cases nearby before digging in.
Dean reaches for the maple syrup as Cas butters both the waffles. Then Dean reaches over to pour the syrup on to the waffles while Cas butters the pancakes. Swiftly, Dean grabs the blueberry syrup and pours a bunch over the pancakes. Meanwhile, Cas had moved on to Dean's coffee, pouring half a packet of sugar into it and stirring it with a spoon.
It's not until they've finished preparing their meal that Dean notices it's been silent far too long. Sam has stopped eating, and when Dean looks up from his pancakes, he realizes that not only is Sam staring at him, but so is Hailey, who apparently had brought Sam some orange juice.
The difference is, Sam's stare is two parts shock and confusion while Hailey's is amused.
"Never would've guessed," Hailey mutters under her breath as she walks away. The disappointment in her voice doesn't escape Dean's notice.
Dean knows immediately what she's saying, but he's not sure why until Sam says, "Wow. Do you two want to tell me something? Because that right there?" he gestures between the two plates, "That's like old married couple level of weird."
Dean scoffs. "What? We were helping each other out. It's no big deal."
"Yeah, Dean, it's not big deal. Except you guys are like freakishly comfortable with each other and have this weird psychic connection. Like you can predict each other's actions. You moved as if you'd done this forever. It's weird." Sam sighed. "So seriously, is there something you want to tell me? Are you and Cas...you know?"
And no, Dean really doesn't know. Well, he does, but he can't believe that Sam is seriously suggesting this. He searches for a trace of humor in his brother's features, but he finds none.
"Dude!" Dean exclaims. "No! We're not--we're just used to each other, you know?"
Sam winces, and Dean knows he's struck a nerve, but there's nothing he can do about that. Dean thinks of pushing the matter further, but he doesn't want to put his foot even further inside his mouth.
He glances over at Cas, who seems more sullen than usual, staring down at his waffles, picking at them occasionally.
Dean rolls his eyes and digs in to his pancakes. Food first. Then he can worry about whatever Cas is upset about. Because after what he'd seen in the future, he figures the best way to keep Cas from falling that far is to be at least a somewhat decent friend.
It's really the least he can do.
Even if Cas is sitting a little too close to him on the bench.
