We need to have a talk (Sam and Dean S4)

[dudeimbatman]

Dean was not happy. He'd spent the night stewing over it while Sam was in another room with Ruby doing God knows what. Suffice it to say he is unhappy about Sam's reveal of his relationship with Ruby. They'd fought about it last night before Sam stormed out to spend the night with Ruby. Dean had gone to the bar to drink too many whiskeys before he returned to the motel room to see that Sam was still with Ruby.

Breakfast that morning had been an awkward, silent affair in which Dean had spent the morning plotting how they would ditch Ruby. Of course, that idea is squashed when Sam walks Ruby to her car, kisses her (gross), and loudly says "I'll see you there."

Dean grumbles "oh christ on a stick," then gets in the car and shuts the door, cranking the music up as he waits for Sam to join him.

Sorry, Dean. The last thing he wants is to fight about Ruby by sharing too much too soon. Why? He's worried Dean will reject him for continuing things with Ruby. As nice as it is to hear Dean believe in him (as far as his humanity goes), it still doesn't change that he feels different. He doesn't wish to fight about it either. "Not with any demon, Dean. With Ruby. I think you should ask her yourself what she wants." Truth is, he believes Dean needs to hear it as well as see it. He firmly Ruby is nothing like the demons they were taught to hate. She is no one close to as detestable as Yellow Eyes.

It's all he asks for, but he spends a moment deciphering how much Dean means it. "So you will talk to her?" When they get there.

Oh, Sammy. Dean would never reject him; he's incapable of it. Dean wouldn't know what to do with a life that didn't have Sam in it. Dean hesitates and then nods. "Fine. Yeah. I'll talk to hr when we get to the motel. We'll share dessert and chat about her feelings and motivations for you."

They always have been in communication one way or another. Sam hadn't been able to cut Dean out of his either. But the words have to come out of Dean's mouth. There isn't anything in any book that can tell him how far is too far with Dean. It takes a little effort on his part not to pick apart the choice of words.

"I think food is a good idea once we reach the motel. We skipped lunch already."
