I know the concept for this has been done before but it hasn't been done my way so I'm taking a stab at it. I know AU, especially supernatural stuff, isn't everybody's thing so if you give this a chance, thank you.


Jay pouted, folding his arms, leaning back into the couch and glaring at his older brother.

His older brother turned to look at him from where he was sitting, Indian style, in front of the TV, smirking before going back to watching his cartoons.

"You never let me pick." Jay huffed, frowning, his little lower lip sticking out. His brother ignored him so he stared forward at the TV, at the stupid show that wasn't what he wanted to watch. He glared at the back of his stupid brother's head, his brow furrowing, the gears in his six-year-old mind turning, trying to think of a good way to get him back.

Jay's frown quickly disappeared though when he heard the sound of keys in the door. He jumped off the couch and ran towards it, stumbling and bumping into it when he got there. Unfazed, he reached up and opened it quickly, grinning.

"Jay, thank you!" His mother smiled down at him, putting a hand on his shoulder as she walked through the door. "How was your day today?"

"Good!" He answered quickly before taking in a breath, ready to launch into the story of what had happened in kindergarten today. His mom smiled at him, placing a gentle hand on his head and brushing the dirty blonde hair of his eyes.

"You need a haircut." Jay wrinkled his nose and she laughed a little, "Not today though. Mommy's going to go to the bathroom and put her things away," she said, adjusting the tote bag on her shoulder, "but you're coming with me to the store, right? You can tell me about your day on the way."

"Yeah!" he replied, grinning and running back into the livingroom, "I'll go put on my shoes!"

"Don't forget your jacket!" he heard his mom say as he looked for his socks from today in between the couch cushions.

"OKAY!" Jay yelled back, fishing out his socks and running upstairs to grab his jacket, tripping when he was almost to the top. His brother laugh and Jay frowned, walking into his room and and looking for his blue jacket. He stopped to build the legos that were scattered around the floor into nothing in particular before he remembering why he was in his room in the first place- he grabbed his jacket off of his bed and ran back downstairs.

His brother looked back at him as he jumped back onto the couch, putting on his shoes and socks. "Going with Mom to the store again? You're such a baby Jay." Jay pulled his shoe on, not saying anything, and his brother smirked, satisfied before turning back to the TV.

Jay sat on the couch, waiting until he heard his mom come out of her room and grinned. As soon as her heard her footsteps at the top of the stairs he ran over to his brother, punching him in the back as hard as he could before letting out a wail of his own.

"OWWW!" he screamed, "Mommy he hit me!" he sniffed, cheeks red as he whimpered pathetically. John stared at him in shock as he heard his mom step quickly down the stairs, kneeling down in front of Jay.

"Are you okay honey?" she asked, concerned, brushing a lock of hair behind his ear. He nodded, sniffing, eyes watery. She patted him on the head before turning to his brother, "John, don't pick on your brother!"

"What!" he whined, trying to protest but Jay was good.

"I don't know why he's so mean to me," he sniffed, looking up at his mom, "I was just," he sniffed again, "minding my own business," sniff, "when he," his voice was high pitched and upset.

"Oh Jay it's okay," she cooed, running a hand through his hair, "Come on, I'll get you something from the store." Jay smiled and she stood, putting a hand on the door handle.

"Randy we're leaving!" She yelled up the stairs, "Watch John and Josh!" she waited for him to respond before opening the door, "Ready Jay?"

"Yeah..." he mumbled, waiting until she was out the door before grinning back at his brother.

"JAY-" he tried not to laugh at John as he jumped out the door, his Mom locking it behind him. He followed her to the car, getting into his car seat and looking out the window as she drove. He told her all about his day, about the kid in class who had licked his shoe (but don't tell anyone), about the books they read, the two girls that had gotten into a fight. She smiled, looking back at him in the mirror occasionally, laughing and responding when appropriate. Jay smiled at her- he loved that he got to spend time wither her, all her attention on him, even if it was just for a couple hours every week.

She held his hand as they walked through the parking lot, grabbing a hopping cart and lifting him up to sit in it, tickling him a little as she put him down. Jay squirmed and laughed, eyes wandering as she pushed the cart into the store. There was a man by the automatic doors, leaning against the wall next to the lottery machine- their eyes met for a second, and he smiled at Jay who whipped his head around shyly.

"What were you looking at?" His mom asked him, laughing a little at his reaction.

"Nothing..." Jay said, turning back to look at where he was but he had already left. He thought nothing of it though and was soon distracted by everything he saw in the aisles, asking a million questions about everything he saw. After going through what seemed like the whole store though, he was bored and ready to be out of the cart.

"Can I pick something now?" he asked as they started to go down the aisle with the cookies and snacks. His mom picked him up out of the cart, glad to have him out of her hair for a second, and he almost took off running to the end of the aisle, pausing in mid-step when his mom called out to him.

"Don't go running off too far!" She said, bending down to pick something up from the lowest shelf. Jay nodded before taking off to the end of the aisle, stopping once he was in front of all the cookies. So many choices, what would he pick this week? Oreos? No, that was last week. Animal crackers? Hmm... He looked up to one of the higher shelves, frosted animal crackers.. yes. They were out of his reach though, so he'd need to get his mom.

"Is this what you wanted?" Jay jumped when he heard a voice behind him, almost backing up into the shelf. It was the man from earlier, and he was really really tall- he grabbed a bag of the frosted animal crackers and looked down at him.

Jay stared at him for a minute before nodding, reaching out a hand to take them. The man smiled and got down to his knees in front of him, and Jay backed away a little. He looked at him and smiled, holding out the bag and Jay took it slowly, clutching it to his chest.

The man laughed at him a little, and his teeth were really white Jay noticed as he ran a hand through his long blonde hair to pull it out of his face. He was wearing dark jeans and a black shirt that Jay couldn't read, and his smile was friendly. He waved before turning around to run back to his Mom.

"Jay," he stopped as the man called his name, turning around to look at him, "See you later." Jay stared back at him for a second before running back to his Mom's cart, stopping to pulling on her shirt.

"Is that what you want?" His mom asked and Jay nodded. She smiled and put him back into the cart, "You're going to have to share these you know." Jay made a face but nodded, at least he'd gotten to pick them out. Next time he'd pick something that John didn't like. He looked back at the end of the aisle but the man was gone again. He looked at the bag of cookies in his hand and smiled.

They finished up their grocery shopping, checking out and loading their cart with tons of bags. Jay looked up at the stars as his mom pushed the car outside and to their car, putting Jay in his car seat, leaving the door open as she put everything in the trunk. He looked down at the toys on the floor of the car before looking around the parking lot- stopping as he saw the man who'd helped him earlier looking at him as he leaned against the side of his red car. He waved and the man smiled at him, waving back before opening the door of his charger and getting in.

Jay's Mom came up to the door and gave him and odd look while she buckled him in, "Who are you waving at?"

Jay tried to look around her but couldn't, and she turned around after she finished getting him in the seat. No one was there. She looked back at him and he shrugged at her, "I don't know." She smiled, shaking her head and ruffling his hair before closing the door and driving them back home.
