AN: I finally managed to write a one-shot. A real one-shot. With one chapter only and less than 3.000 words :)
So here, have some drabble about the boys shopping and a little bonus-Castiel too
It was Jess' Birthday when Sam went shopping - for the first time on his own. Real shopping. Not the occasional coke 'n' chips. He wanted to bake a cake and had found an easy looking recipe online. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour, chocolate and some spices. He had planned on just grabbing this stuff and being out of the supermarket in no time. But that actually proved much more difficult than said. Back when he was still with his family it always had been Dean doing the shopping. Sam knew there would be different brands of products, but this was just ridiculous. There where 15 different kinds of butter. Tea butter, summer butter, yogurt butter, hay butter and so on. Flour was not much easier. How was he supposed to know the difference between type 450, type 700 or type 900? A glance at his watch told Sam he had to hurry. Jess' party was going to start in about 2 hours and this cake surely wasn't gonna bake himself. So he settled on taking the most expensive choice each. Because this cake was going to be something special. Damn. He really missed Dean sometimes...
Dean craved for pie. Unfortunately he'd just overcome a nasty piece of stomach flu so bought pie was not an option. Luckily he'd been cooking (and baking) practically all his youth and knew a few recipes even an upset stomach would appreciate. The mall was not very big but they had a decent assortment.
Yogurt - check
The creamy ones were much better for cooking as they needed less stirring. And they weren't even more expensive.
Flour - check
Normally Dean would never take type 400, whole grain lasted much longer before the hunger returned, but Dean had learned early on his gastrointestinal tract was not very happy with this healthy stuff and right now? Not a good idea.
Honey - check
Dean loved honey. He would replace every bit of sugar any pastries would need with honey.
Eggs - check
free-range of course. Dean hated cages.
Nuts - check
Actually he would like to have almond but they were way too expensive if christmas didn't happen to be near.
Spices - check
Dean's secret ingredients. Not even Sammy knew what Dean used to gain this gingerbread like taste. Sam. By force of habbit Dean had bought enough for them both - damn. He would bee eating pie for the next two days... he really missed his little brother.
Castiel had a list. Dean had written down the names of a few magazines and a 'news paper' although calling the Weekly World News a 'news' paper beard so much sarcasm even Castiel could not miss. The other items were solely 'skin mags' as Dean called them. Porn magazines with bikini clad females on the cover displaying their surpassing chest measurement. Castiel knew humans would find it embarrassing buying such amount of graphical magazines at one time. But he was no human. And he really did not feel anything. Really. At least he tried to made sure nobody thought any different.
