Baseball Metaphors and Big Brothers

by Kailene

E/O Challenge. Wow: Busy. It was just part of life, right? Simple. And Sam Winchester knew more about life than most adults. Then why was he so clueless...so out of his element...so freakin' lost on this one topic. But that's where having such an awesome big brother like Dean came in handy. Pre-series.

Author's Note #1: Better late than never, right? So this is set pre-series, Sam is 16. A bit of back trivia, the girl he is referring to, Rachel, is the girl he brought to his Junior Prom...the same one we later find out was a demon.

You can interpret the advice that Sam is seeking any way you wish.

Author's Note #2: Big thanks, as usual to Riathe Mia.

ooOOoo

"Dean!" Sam gasped into his phone, flustered and out of breath.

"What the hell, Sam?" Dean barked. "Six rings? Dude! What a'ya' doin?"

"Sorry. Uh…I was…uh…busy." Sam cringed. Smooth, Winchester.

"Busy?"

"Rachel…" Sam huffed. Stupid. "Just doing…stuff."

"Ah…Busy" Dean drawled. "That what you kids are calling it?"

"No! We were…I mean…" Hell.

It's now or never.

"Um…I like her…a lot. But…when do I know …how do I…"

Come on, this is Dean. Why are you havin' so much trouble.

"Run the bases?"

Oh yeah. That's why.

"Ya know, forget it."

"Sammy," Dean assured, "you'll know. Then…this is what you do…."
