A Drabble for the SPN100 Challenge
Challenge Word: Star
Summary: Dean may have only had one example of parenting, but it doesn't mean that his dad had all the answers. Maybe he could do a better job.
Notes: During the year that Dean was with Lisa and Ben, with a brief recollection of Dean's youth.
"Mom, Dean, look! I got a gold star" Ben beamed as he handed Dean the paper.
Dean's thoughts drifted back; he was eleven, just home from school.
"Dad, look! I got a gold star!"
John looked, glowered, then tossed the paper on the bed. "Gold star in bullshit." He tossed Dean a rifle. "Here, gold star this, you need the practice."
Dean learned his father's priorities quickly.
Over his nostalgia, Dean looked at Ben. Then he smiled, stood up, and gave the kid a hug.
"Great job! Keep it up."
Ben smiled back. Dean was determined to do this right.
