Sam watched Dean grin at him and reach for the door handle and he couldn't help but steal a glance at the way Dean jeans tightened when he leant to get out of the driver's seat.
It took a bit of willpower not to laugh at himself. Why? Because he had said to himself that if he was going to give into his feelings and if Dean felt the same way, then he wouldn't half arse it, but he wondered if this was getting out of hand. Seriously, he caught himself checking dean out something like once every two minutes.
He allowed himself a small chuckle at how not-weird-about-this he felt and then followed Dean out of the Impala, up to Bobby's front door.
Dean knocked, "Hey, Bobby!" Dean was looking down at the doormat, but his gaze meandered around.
"Bo-"
"GOD, just wait a second would you? Idjit," Bobby called out from inside.
Moments later, Bobby came to the door opening it and gesturing for them to come in.
"Hey, boys. You're looking… great." Sam couldn't help but notice something strange about the way that Bobby had emphasized that and he checked Bobby's facial expression, only to find sincerity and surprize.
"Well, geez, Bobby," Sam grinned to his ears, "I'm sorry that we don't look tragic."
Dean chuckled and all three of them walked into the kitchen.
"Sam, Dean, this is my friend Rufus and a couple of his friends, Smith, Arianna and Payne."
After greeting' were exchanged, they got to planning the raid.
"So, plan is, Payne, Smith, Arianna and Rufus are going to go around the back, with me covering the exit. Then you two will come in through the front. Their nest is split up into tree main sections; there's this back room here, then there's a storeroom that goes all the way along the left side of the building and the rest of the space is taken up by what we think is being used as some kind of feeding room…"
"What do you mean, feeding room?" Sam couldn't help asking.
"Well, we think they've been capturing people and keeping them alive, feeding off them at intervals so that their bodies can repair. We think the Vamps think this will make them last longe-"
Dean piped up, interrupting him, "Yeah, we'll take your word for it."
"So, does the plan sound good?"
"Well," Sam said, reasoning with his idea, "is it a good idea to leave the front exit unguarded?"
"I mean, one of you three," he pointed at Arianna, Smith and Payne, "Could guard the front entrance while Bobby guards the back. That way, two people will filter in through each side and ach exit will have someone manning it."
Bobby nodded in content agreement.
"Yeah… yeah, that sounds better actually." He started to trace a pathway through the building on the blueprints.
"You two can take the left side, here and try to get to all the vamps you can in the storeroom. We understand that they're running low on feeders," the man that Sam and Dean knew as Payne spat the word out and continued, "They're probably not top-notch condition. We also have a fair amount of Dead Man's Blood in syringes, so each of us can take a certain amount…"
The strategy planning went on for a while, until they were all happy and sure that they knew where to be, when. They unanimously decided to carry out the raid as the sun was rising, so that they weren't extremely visible, but so that it was light enough that, by the time the raid was underway, the sun had come up enough to weaken the vamps if they tried to turn tail.
Sam and Dean went into a room that Bobby had said they could stay in to find that there was one bed.
Both of them had to keep themselves from sighing in appreciation at the happy misunderstanding and, after changing into a t-shirt and briefs, Dean fell onto the mattress, closely followed by Sam. Dean felt an arm fall over his waist and droop to pull him back until they were pressed closely together and they fell asleep like that, worn and tired from the day, but more comfortable than they had been in quite a while.
((YAY I DID IT. A whole other chapter and it only took… four…. hours… oh well! at least I got another chapter down right? Also hold up because this is just in… I was going to end it this chapter but NO!
I'm going to continue this now… at least for a couple of chapters. Happy Halloween by the way. Sorry for rambling, Lizzy.))
