E/O Challenge: Grate
Late Birthday present for Tuppence who wanted a happy Dean moment. Enkidu07 rhapsodized about Dean with a sore throat.
Word Count: 100
Sam bent over suddenly, standing with a fifty-dollar bill between two fingers. "Sweet!"
His elbow knocked a distracted Dean sideways toward the curb. He landed heavily on a sidewalk grate, the clang of metal echoing beneath him.
"Sam!" Dean rasped out, sore throat reducing his growl to a whisper. He glanced warily through the grating. "I hate these things."
Sam walked on. "I can get that new phone."
Dean's scowl became a wide grin. There were more bills under the car next to him. Rubbing his throat, he re-read the 'Sorority Bake Sale' sign ahead. "I can get some pie."
