Kayla was still getting her things situated after the guys were done. Dean seemed unusually upset, even for Dean and had been outside for awhile. Sam eventually followed him. She decided to stay out of it this time.
Sam saw his brother leaned against the porch, that familiar thoughtful look on his face. "Hey man."
"Get the hell away from me."
"Uh, a little more forward than usual. What's up?"
"Dude." He turned to look at him but he didn't look angry, he looked hurt. "Find something to do. Go crawl into bed with Kayla, you seem ok with that."
"Are you serious?!" He was not gonna pull this crap with him. "Dean, if there's extra room she takes it. It's not her fault that you dumped her."
"I did what was right."
"Oh son of a…" He stopped and leaned against the wall next to him. "All you have to do is talk to her, don't you get that? She's waiting for you snap out of it."
"You don't know what you're talking about."
"She loves you. Even a complete idiot, like you're being, could see that." Dean grimaced in response. "Face it, if you wanted her out of your life you would have told her to go home already."
He had a point. Dean sighed quietly, still being stubborn about it. "I'm gonna get so wasted tonight."
Sam paused and raised an eyebrow. "That's an idea." He went back to the room.
Later that evening
He was convinced this would get things started. Dean was at a table by himself and only occasionally spoke to Jo when she flirted with him. Sam and Kayla were sitting at the bar; he was trying to have a shot competition with her.
"Come on Kayla, keep up."
She laughed and took another shot, her face distorted in disgust as the taste hit her. "I didn't know you were such a drinker."
"First time for everything."
Ellen set another two shot glasses in front of them and looked to Kayla, she was looking a little tipsy already. Lightweight. "You trying to get her drunk Sam?"
"Yes mam." But it's not why you're thinking.
"Kind of shallow isn't it?"
"That's not why, it's not for me." He motioned to Dean. "He's already drunk and she's getting to about her limit. I'm kind of hoping it'll make them stop being so stupid because honestly, I don't know how much more of the drama I can take."
Ellen smiled softly. "You're trying to get them back together. That's sweet of you Sam."
"No, just selfish. We have bigger things to worry about, this shouldn't be one of them."
Kayla hadn't been listening to the conversation but she was starting to piece it together. "Wait, you're doing what now?"
He slid another shot in front of her. "Dominating this contest."
But it hadn't gone like he wanted it to. Kayla was a happy drunk but Dean wasn't and neither of them said a word to each other in hours. The whole thing was stupid. Sam finally gave up and went back to his room, leaving them to their own demise.
