A/N- Hiya :) Thanks again for all the follows, favourites and reviews. Please, please, please keep reviewing :) I hope you enjoy this one-shot. I can remember getting 20p for each of my teeth from the tooth fairy, and I could never understand at the time why my friends always received more haha :) Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Sam is 5 and Dean is 9.
"Dean, look at my tooth!" Sam said, running over to Dean, and started to wiggle a bottom tooth "It wiggles even more now!" Sam told him.
"Sam, stop!" Dean told him, pushing Sam away from him. He hated the sight of a wobbly tooth, it freaked him out. He would take on a ghost bare handed rather than look at Sam wobble his tooth all day long. Sam's tooth had been wobbly for two weeks now, and with Sam wiggling it almost constantly it looked like it was going to fall out soon.
"Dean, do you think the tooth fairy will come when it falls out?" Sam asked.
Dean sighed, he had forgotten about the freaking tooth fairy. The freaky assed person who supposedly entered a kid's bedroom to steal a tooth for their weird ass collection, and then only give the kid a couple of cents for the body part.
"Maybe, depends how much you annoy me with the damn tooth" Dean replied, picking up a comic and started to look through it.
"Why does it matter if you get annoyed?" Sam asked innocently.
Dean looked at Sam, ready to tell him that the tooth fairy wasn't actually real, but remembered how young the kid was. He wanted Sam to have a normal life, well as normal as they could get. If that meant he had to be the tooth fairy, he would do it.
"Because, as soon as the tooth fairy hears that you have a wobbly tooth, they check up on you. Just to make sure that you're being good and not annoying people about it." Dean lied.
"Oh" Sam said, dropping his finger from his mouth instantly.
"That's better. Tooth fairy might come now" Dean said smiling and returned to reading the comic.
"Dean?" Sam asked again, hopping onto the couch.
"What?" Dean asked, exasperated.
"Does everybody get the same amount of money from the tooth fairy?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"Jimmy from play group said that he got three dollars for his tooth! That's a lot, isn't it Dean?"
Dean cringed, that was a lot for a tooth. He wasn't sure if he even had a dollar on him. He was hoping to get away with a couple of quarters. Of course, Jimmy's parents could afford three dollars, they were rich. "It depends on how much money the tooth fairy has on him" Dean told him "Sometimes the tooth fairy is a little short on cash"
"That's not fair though!" Sam replied, horrified that the tooth fairy doesn't treat everybody equally.
"Well, life isn't fair" Dean said harshly. He instantly regretted it when he saw Sam's tears in his eyes. "Sam, I'm sorry. But sometimes the tooth fairy runs out of money, and then he has to give some kids a little less because he knows they are awesome enough to accept a little less to help out the tooth fairy." Dean told him, praying that Sam bought it.
"How does it help the tooth fairy?" Sam asked, intrigued.
"Well, it means that the tooth fairy doesn't run completely out of money and can buy things to live on and feed it's family" Dean told him
"The tooth fairy has a family?"
"He sure does" Dean said
"I don't want three dollars then, if it means that the tooth fairy can look after his family." Sam said earnestly.
"I think the tooth fairy will appreciate that" Dean said with a smile. As much as he found Sam annoying from time to time, he couldn't wish for a better little brother. "Now eat your lunch" Dean told him, pointing to the sandwich on the table. Sam nodded his head and took a bite out of the sandwich.
"Dean"
"What?"
"I just lost my tooth!" Sam said, holding the tooth out in front of him, giving Dean a grin showing where the hole is.
