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.

Nothing happened with Ruby because Sam couldn't think about anything else. In fact, Ruby was the one suggested ways he might relax with a soak and a sleep rather than pace in the room the rest of the night. She was right. Admittedly, he wasn't feeling as raw and argumentative when he woke up before the two of them walked to the diner down the street.

His mood was helped more with a little to eat. Although nothing could change the awkwardness at breakfast. Sam also needed the nudge from Ruby and a little of his own sense to sit with Dean. Silence spoke more than words could at the table; he could see Dean was working up to saying something. It was clear going with his brother to their next destination was something they both needed. Of course he thought Dean might be planning to ditch Ruby too. What he doesn't share is that Ruby already had access to his GPS with his permission.

Sam has one more kiss for Ruby just for Dean's complaint, before turning to get in the passenger's side. He rolls his eyes as Dean cranks up the music. Fine. If his brother doesn't want to talk right away, they won't. He makes himself comfortable for the three-hundred mile drive ahead.
