Soldiers And Sunburn
"Have you two done your training for the day?" John asked his two sons, who were both sitting on the floor. Dean was re-reading a car magazine from six months ago, while Sam was building a house out of playing cards.
"No sir." the two brothers said in unison. The oldest, fourteen, left his magazine on the ground and started searching for his sneakers in the small motel they were occupying. Sam, ten, sighed and knocked down his house of cards. After he replaced the deck in the box, he slid on his shoes. Dean eventually found his sneakers behind the bathroom door. How they'd gotten there in the first place, no one was really sure.
Just as his children were heading towards the door, John noticed the boys were only wearing shorts and shoes. The Winchester family was currently in southern Florida hunting a spirit. They couldn't risk burning the body until night fall, though.
"You boys not going to wear shirts?" John asked, knowing the answer.
"It's too hot out, Dad." Sam replied, stopping to tie his shoes.
"Seriously." Dean nodded, waiting for his little brother.
"Remember Arizona?" John raised an eyebrow, "Sunburn for a week."
"We'll be fine." Sam rolled his eyes, standing up straight and continuing his way to the door.
"Sammy's right, Dad." Dean said, "Plus we're only going to be out there for like, an hour. If that."
"Fine, but don't come complaining to me when you can hardly walk." John shook his head as his two sons walked out the door, letting it shut loudly behind them. With a sigh, John went to the Impala and drove to the nearest general store. He was going to need a full bottle of Aloe.
~Supernatural~
"Hold still Sammy!" John ordered as the ten year old once again moved away from his father's hands. "Son if you don't stop moving I can't get the Aloe on you, it'll help your burn-"
"But Dad it hurts!" Sam complained.
"It's just gonna keep hurting, Sammy." Dean said, wishing once again he'd listened to his father an hour and a half ago. "Just let Dad put the stuff on you and we can go watch TV or something, alright?"
Sam gave him a light glare, but nodded his approval. John inclined his head towards his eldest. Dean could convince Sam to do anything.
"Ow!" Sam half-shouted, again moving away from his father.
It took another ten minutes before John was finally done putting the Aloe on his youngest son. Dean did his himself, claiming he was old enough to do it by himself. As Dean rubbed the Aloe on his shoulders, John sat in a chair.
"So when I say to put clothes on next time, what are you going to do?" John asked, crossing his arms.
"Put on clothes." Sam and Dean said in unison, a bit annoyed that their father had been right.
"What are you going to do when I say you're going to get sunburns?"
"Ask the sun to not burn us?" Sam shrugged.
a/n: got the sunburn idea when i woke up a week ago and thought about how lucky I was that i don't burn easily :D
