Chapter 6

Sam woke and yawned, He stretched as he sat up and looked over to the window where the sunlight fought to force it's way through the closed curtains, He swung his legs over the side of the bed placing both feet on the cold floor ,glancing about the room and spotting Dean's empty bed he wondered where Dean was.

Then he noticed something at the foot of Dean's bed seated on the floor ,oh there was Dean ,but what was he doing sleeping there ,his head tilted to one side he thought again why was his brother sitting asleep on the floor when there was a perfectly good bed , as he stood up he could see the answer to his question,

The 3/4 empty bottle of hunters helper lay by Dean, and two empty glasses one laying on its side . and Angel, all snuggled up to Dean who held her close in his arms, her head was resting on his chest, his head tilted ,cheek resting on her head.

Sam smiled he recognised the signs, He made his way to the kitchen area, thinking of his brother and Angel ' Don't even go there,that is not an image you want burned into your brain Sam' he said very quietly to himself.

Perhaps he thought it had been a moment of drunkenness for the pair , after all they had been drinking for the bet part of the night then another 3/4 of a bottle back at the room, Sam decided that must be the answer, he continued to make coffee and removed a box of cereal from the cupboard ,he retrieved a bowl and poured some of the contents into it splashing it with a good amount of milk, and sat eating at the dining table,flipping open the laptop which sprang to life within seconds he started scanning the local news for any possible updates.

Dean groaned slightly as he began to open his eyes his head was sore from the drink and he felt very stiff all over, although the curtains were still drawn he flinched at the light , he became aware that he wasn't the only one seated on the floor, then the memories and flashes of the night before hit his brain , as he moved he disturbed Angel who then also groaned and sat herself up right ,She yawned and caught herself looking at Dean, although both remembered the drunkered memories neither seemed too worried , They were after all full grown adults and both hunters if it hadn't been with each other they'd probably found themselves waking up looking at some strangers faces and maybe regretting there actions a lot more which was what some time happened .

Angel was first to raise from the floor although she had drank as much as Dean her eyes didn't seem to mind the light , She looked over towards Sam " Morning!" she said ,

"Morning" he replied, then looked over at Dean ,who was no also on his feet and standing behind Angel, Dean just raised his eyebrows and shrugged ,making Sam smile with a cheeky , I know what you did smile.

Angel in the mean time disappeared into the bathroom leaving the two boys alone, Sam spoke quietly " Dude , are you crazy ?"

"crazy" Dean repeated " No not crazy Sammy , A freak! , yeah , but last time I looked not crazy , Sam smirked, then spoke again " Angel !.What was the doorstep closer?"

Dean caught on to what his brother meant and he coughed " oh, um, that ," he gave one of his surprised looks , " what's wrong with two hunters passing some time together?" he finished "we're two hunters and we don't ..." Dean jumped back in ,pulling one of those gross looking faces ," but we're brothers, brothers Sam ,it's a bit different"

he smiled at Sam "Anyhow she started it..." he started to say winking at his brother, but the bathroom door opened and Angel re entered the room. he'd dressed herself in a pair of jogging pants and a T shirt, she moved over to her rucksack and drew out a pair of running shoes . both men watched her as she put the shoes on,

" Right guys, I'll catch up with you both in around an hour,I'll meet you in the dinner and i'll have some coffee and scrambled egg thanks,"

she glanced down at her watch it said it was just after 9.30 .

"running ,you freaking run!" Dean exclaimed

"sure , especially after drinking like we did last night, clears the head better than anything I know, always works for me."

with that she left ,both watched her as she jogged away from the motel (having opened the curtains) Dean turned back to Sam "jogging"

Sam looked back at his brother and once again allowed a smile to form on his face , "what ?" Dean said, Sam replied

" I think you two are more alike than you know "

Dean shook his head,and Sam continued "DEan,think of it, your tough, so's she , you can hold your own in a fight, and from what we've both seen so can she,and from the looks of it the heavier she drinks the less it effects her, sound familiar, hall I continue?"

Dean looked away," And what do you mean by that?" he said

"I mean , perhaps you guys are drawn together because you're alike,"

both ceased the conversation , Dean grabbed a cup of coffee and Sam returned back to the awaiting laptop, Dean didn't want to allow Sam to see that Angel had got through his tough exterior the place hardly any other person was ever allowed to go ,Angel had gone for a jog not to clear her head , but to analyse the fact that she'd let someone brake that deep high wall that she hid her real feelings behind , she found herself thinking about him whilst she ran his smile the way his eyes creased when he smiled and those eyes ,beautiful long lashed , soft green eyes .
