Thanks for all the support guys! I'm glad this story is doing well!
Dean's POV
I woke to the sound of keys clicking. I knew that sound rather well by now. "Really Sam? We just got done with a hunt. You can't be looking for another one already." I felt admittedly better than I had yesterday and I definitely owed Barry for that. After all, the kid had given up his bed for me.
"I couldn't sleep." Came my brother's simple answer. I groaned and rolled over. "Wake me up in 2 hours. I'll go get breakfast then." All I heard was a mumbled reply before I drifted off to sleep. Sam woke me up exactly 2 hours later by throwing a pillow at me. "Seriously dude?" I rolled over and threw it back at him. "You found anything?"
This time he did look up "Maybe… you said you were going to get breakfast. I want coffee 3 sugars and creamer. Also get me some waffles with a side of eggs." He had his nose back in the screen and he looked focused. I repeated what he wanted in my head as I walked out to the Impala. I stopped outside the window and peered in. Barry was still sleeping. He could probably use the extra hours and I knew once he was awake he couldn't go back to sleep.
I head off on foot to the closest diner. I order Sam food and myself some. I started to order Barry the same thing as Sam when I recalled he liked bacon more just like I did. I got him bacon instead and asked for a bit of milk in his coffee. I was pretty sure that was how he liked it. I didn't really make it a point to remember coffee orders because Sam always changed his around. Some days he liked straight up black coffee and other times he wanted a ton of sugar and other crap.
Barry's order stayed constant which made it easier to remember. That's why I knew it. I carried back the tray of drinks and the bag of to-go boxes to the hotel. I drop off Sam's food first then go to wake Barry.
When I get back into the hotel room Sam had already eaten an entire waffle. "Dude… you're a beast." I was grinning and he just shrugged as he dove into his second waffle. I eat my food and then hop into the shower. The warm water did wonders. I could stand here all day if I wasn't the only one in need of a shower. I step out and dry off before wrapping a towel around myself.
I walk out and spot Barry on my bed. Usually I don't care about being in only a towel, but this time… I don't know. It felt weird and I was suddenly rather aware of how naked I was under here. "Okay… who's next?" Barry gets up much to my relief, so I step out of the way to let him get to the bathroom. By the time I'm dressed Barry is walking out.
I was startled to find I was disappointed he hadn't walked out in a towel like I had. Instead he was completely dressed from head to toe. I had dropped off into thought for a moment or two because Barry's voice startled me and Sam was no longer in the room. I give a weak shrug even though I had no idea what Barry had said. "Sam has been on his computer since 3 a.m."
That seemed to be a good reply to whatever the kid had said. Actually I had no idea what Sam had been doing for all those hours. I get up and walk over to look at the screen. I read the title out loud and honestly it doesn't sound like anything to get excited over. I started to read the article when I felt eyes staring at me. I realized how close I was standing to Barry now. We were almost touching and I could feel his eyes on my lips. I had no idea what I was even reading anymore all I could focus on was the fact that he was looking at me like he wanted to... I swallow and force myself to focus.
I managed to get through it and make a joke I only half remember. I could finally function right and get proper blood to my head once I moved away from him. I hated that Barry had that effect on me and I refused to think deeper on that. I was just glad when Sam finished that way I wouldn't be alone with Barry any longer.
Sam explained his reasoning behind choosing this particular place and after a few minutes I was convinced, but he kept on talking. I found myself zoning him out. I didn't realize I was staring at Barry until he started to stand. "Well let's get this show on the road" I say a bit awkwardly. I really hope neither of them caught on to that.
Judging by the way Sam was looking at me I wouldn't be that lucky. In fact he stopped me before I could walk out. Barry had gone to put his stuff back into the car "You're totally into him." He was grinning like he had won some imaginary bet. "No…" I say shaking my head like a petulant child "I just…" I huff "Shut up." I turn and walk out. I hear soft chuckling behind me as Sam followed.
