A/N: Teen-Chester bickering as a belated Birthday present for LivingforTV. Idioms are fun, and as it happens, my pal Slicey McGore actually told me not to pet the sweaty stuff last week when I was having a minor nervous breakdown due to having a crap job that I hate... My reply was that I would write a drabble using that phrase, and low and behold, this week's challenge was for idioms. Kismet much?
"Did you take the last soda?"
Dean ignores his brother's bitch-face and fingers the can's ring pull lightly. "I just ran five miles," he pants. "It's hot out there and I'm thirsty."
Sam throws his hands wildly in the air. "What am I supposed to drink?"
"There's water in the tap." John interjects, looking up from his book. Determined to kill the huge teenage tantrum that's about to start. "Don't sweat the petty things, Sam."
Sam lunges for his brother, trying to wrestle the can from him, but Dean effortlessly blocks his efforts.
"Don't pet the sweaty things either, bro."
