Outside the Dorms, Wednesday Evening

[likethegun]

Sam had gone out for a late night food and coffee run, and was just on his way back from town with a bag of stuff for himself and Dawn.

[For one person in particular.]

John was out picking up some things Zoe requested and spotted his son. "Sammy," he called.

[likethegun]

Sam turned at the use of that nickname. "Oh, hey Dad."

"Hey." He smiled. "I was going to give you a call when I got back to the tower. Guess I don't need to now."

[likethegun]

Sam sense of foreboding kicked up at knowing his dad wanted to talk to him, but he hopes that the fact that he was smiling meant he didn't want to talk about something bad. "Is everything okay?" he asked.

"Yeah," John said quickly. "I was just wondering if you had anything planned for tomorrow."

[likethegun]

"Not anything in particular," Sam replied. "Why?"

"I thought you and I could take a trip to the mainland. Maybe pick up some stuff for Scout...?"

[likethegun]

"Really?" Sam couldn't fight breaking into a grin. "You'd want to do that? 'Cause he really could use some new things, but I was going to wait until Dean got back and get him to take me."

"Well, figure I owe Scout something for slightly mauling him when I was.. experiencing a second childhood," John said with a faint grin.

[likethegun]

Sam laughed. "I don't think he minded that much. He likes attention, even if it is slightly crazed attention. But that doesn't mean I'll keep you from making it up to him."

"All right, then. Come to the tower tomorrow morning, we can have breakfast and then go."

[likethegun]

"That sounds like a plan then," Sam replied. "Um, thanks," he added.

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

John nodded. "Breakfast won't be waffles," he said dryly.

[likethegun]

Sam snickered, and did his best to fake disappointment. "That's all right, I think I understand."

"I seemed to have developed an aversion to them," John explained, then chuckled.

[likethegun]

"Hopefully that won't be anything permanent. You seemed to really like them when you were younger."

"Strange what kids fixate on," John replied.

[likethegun]

"Yeah, really strange," Sam said, trying not to laugh too hard.

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Go ahead," John said patiently. "Get it out of your system."

[likethegun]

Sam snickered some more, and then shook his head. "I'll stop now, really. I can be good."

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you can," John acknowledged. "And often are."

[likethegun]

That got a much different smile out of Sam. "Thanks. I'm glad you think so."

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

John smiled back. "I always do." His smile widened a little. "Even when you're driving me crazy."

[likethegun]

"I'm going to remember you said that the next time you claim I'm driving you crazy," Sam replied, before gesturing to the bag he was holding. "I should probably go and bring this stuff to Dawn before it gets cold. But, uh, I'll see you tomorrow morning?"
