42nd Hunt [Video] But what is and what should never be.

[The device is sitting in the passenger seat of the Impala. For once the music is off. Dean is parked outside watching an impromptu baseball game between a father and his son. He grips the wheel of the Impala tightly so that his knuckles turn white. When he starts speaking it's softly.]

All I ever really wanted was Sam to get a normal life. To play baseball with our Dad. Do boy scout things with him--I don't even know what the hell boy scout things are but I wanted Sam to get to do it. Instead he got me staying up all night 'til I figured out soccer. We were never in one place long enough for Sam to join boy scouts.


People don't appreciate their normal lives. They don't realize how god damn lucky they are so they take it all for granted. I can teach the kid to play baseball later. I can skip boy scouts because there's a meeting next week. I can mow the lawn tomorrow. Or worse they bitch 'cause their lives are boring. They've gotta do this or that or something else.

Screw you all. You got to raise your kids the way you wanted to. You had time with them. You weren't crawling into bed with them holding a loaded shotgun at three in the morning because monsters are real and you're the only one there to protect them. You're not assuring your kid brother that he'll make new friends or stealing a bike that you're gonna have to leave behind when you move again.

[He shakes his head, cranks the car and pulls away from the curb]

It's all bullshit. You ought to appreciate the hell outta what you got.

Heh. Dean, I get you. God, I wish I didn't. But I do.

I hate it when people take things for granted...because they can take those little normal bits of life for granted. They don't have to worry about a ghost ripping through their organs and stopping their hearts...the most normal people gotta worry about is bills that they'll always be able to pay.

They actually get to have families and kids and nice, normal lives that they'll always take for granted and...augh. I hate it. I hate them.

I need a beer.

Ain't sayin' anything to the contrary cause I agree with ya, but what's brought this bitch-fest about? You alright?

[Alexis flips on the screen and offers Dean a small smile just cause he sounds like he needs one.]

So when I was little I used to get so upset that I didn't have a mom around. My dad dated a lot so there were always girls around but they weren't... mom. And I'd get really upset when she'd come and pretend I was important and then leave again for some show or some guy, depending. But my dad always found a way to make me feel like I didn't need two parents when I felt that way. I mean he... always tried to make sure that he chose me since he knew that it upset me so much that she never did.

I guess all this is to say that I get what you're saying. You should be thankful for what you have. And I am.

See that's not anything close to normal either. You get to be in the club that wants to smack the shit out of the people who don't appreciate things.

I need a whole friggin' bottle of whiskey. Meet you at the bar?

You betcha. See you there, kay?

Right now, Dean... I just can't be made to care enough to even want to.

Good. Sounds like you have a great dad.

[identity profile] dude-imbatman.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. I'll be there.

Cool.

[Dean's sitting at the bar as promised with a bottle of whiskey and a glass in front of him. He's sort of trying to avoid looking at himself in the mirror over the bar. At least he's not likely to see anyone with an apple pie life in here]

[ooc: Sure! I may be slow but if you don't mind it works for me]

[Hanna comes in, looking tired and angry. He perks up just a bit at seeing Dean, though, and sits next to him, before taking off his glasses. His vision is terrible, after all...and he'll feel better not being able to see himself in the mirror.]

...Hey.

[ooc: I'm gonna be a bit slow too, but it's all good! :D]

Well I was... trying to agree with you. Not make you even more upset. Sorry.

... I'm weary of this place. Bone deep and tired.

I'm starting to hate it here.

No kids should've been raised the way you and your brother were. But sittin' here complainin' about it ain't doin' anything but makin' you the pot callin' the kettle black. You're doin' the same thing you're tellin' others they're doin' just from the other side of the fence.

I say we have a few beers and calm down.

[Dean isn't even sure what to say. He knows about Myrnin, of course.]

Sorry things had to happen the way they have lately. Anything I can do? I'll take you out and get you smashed. Promise to get you home safe and sound.

Not gonna turn down beer. That's for sure.

I don't think getting drunk will help, but thank you for the offer.

... do you know how he's doing? There was a hole in his head, after all.

I talk too much sometimes.

[But she smiles again and nods.]

Yeah I have a few left over from yesterday. Where are you and I'll bring you some. They're still really good.

[identity profile] backseatangel.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you appreciate what you have?

Re: [Voice]

[identity profile] ditchabledate.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Thought so. I got a twelve pack that between you and I could be put away real quick.
