Lessons Learned the Hard Way

by zookitty

Some lessons have to be learned the hard way, others are just down right fun. Weechester, Teenchester and episode tags, with lots of brotherly fluff. For the SFTCOlARS weekly dabble challenge, which means lots and lots of updates!

AN: I told you there would be lots of updates! Woohoo, I hope you like it. Lesson 5 is for Jenn, because she's awesome hehhe, but also because she wouldn't stop bugging me till I wrote it. -winks-

Lesson 3: Some Things Can Be Fixed
Challenge 3: Snow
Word Count: 100

Dean's heart was in pieces. He was twelve and for the first time, a girl broke his heart. Why did they call it heartaches anyway? All the pain he felt was in his gut.

He collapsed on their porch, looking dejectedly at snow that swirled by.

THAP!

Something cold hit his arm.

"Sammy..."

THAP

"SAM!"

Dean leapt up and ran after the kid, tackling him into the snow. They rolled, the snow seeping into their skin as they grappled. Dean pinned his brother to the ground. Sam beamed at him, and Dean laughed.

Maybe not all things couldn't be fixed.

Lesson 4: Separate Before You Wash
Challenge 4: Purple
Word Count: 100

"Dean!"

"What?"

"Did you take my clothes to the Laundromat?"

"Yeah, so?"

Sam glared menacingly, lifting up an oversized button up.

"It's purple!" Sam's prepubescent voice really could hit some strange octaves.

"So?"

"It wasn't purple before you took it!" the exasperated younger brother ranted.

"I don't know Samantha, it looks like most of the pansy stuff you wear," Dean tossed back easily.

"You are never doing laundry again!" Sam shouted, storming out of the room in a huff only a preteen could muster.

Dean let a wiry smile rest on his lips. Just the words I wanted to hear.

Lesson 5: Avoid Great Expectations

Challenge 5: Joke
Word Count: 100

Like most things it started simply. Bobby had the Sam for the weekend. It wasn't the first time, and it was hardly the last time. But it was one of the most memorable.

"Sam stop! No…no not that!" Bobby thought the hardest part of life ended when he stopped hunting, but that was before he met Sammy. Just as frustration found its peak he looked down at the boy. Sam was covered head to toe in flour, red sprinkles catching in the eyelashes framing his doleful eyes. Bobby couldn't stifle a laugh.

Making cookies with Sammy? Who was he kidding.
