If You're Gonna Act Emo…

Dawn had been pissed when she finally got a hold of his right hand when they had finished with the faith healer. Why did the Winchester boys think they were indestructible? She ignored the nagging fact that the same thing had often been uttered about the Summers girls.

The whole Darla-look-alike had really gotten to her, and Dean's moping and Sam's freak out and Faith's unusual quiet were not helping. Not at all. So she needed a pick me up, and irking Dean - even if he was a newly recovered former heart patient - still gave her a few jollies.

She'd gotten his right hand completely painted when he woke up, his eyes open just a crack so he could catch her doing it. Dawn could feel his eyes on her and spoke first as she finished his thumb nail.

"You being sad that she can't ever live a normal life while you can, well, kinda - it doesn't make her feel better," Dawn murmured.

"Layla?"

"Layla, Darla - whatever she's going by here - it doesn't fix anything. So will you stop moping, or do I have to paint the other hand black?" Dawn pursed her lips as she looked into his eyes. "Cause if you're gonna act all emo, you're gonna need Sammy's crash course pronto."

"Hey! I do not act emo!" Both Sam and Dean shouted at the same time.
