But ffor now....on with Dean freaking out about flying! lol
Sam sat in the airplane seat waiting for the plane to take off. On either side of him were his brother and his fiancé. Jess had taken the window seat; she loved planes and always called the window seat. These past few months Dean had increasingly gotten more and more talkative, it was hard to get him to shut up now. But at the moment he was being uncharacteristically quiet. Sam decided not to ask him why because he assumed it was probably just about Sandy's death.
Jess was blabbing on about planes and how it feels to take off and turbulence to Dean who had never been on a plane before. The excitement of the plane was
"We'll be up about 20,000 feet in the air! It's amazing how these big giant chunks of metal can fly through the sky! You'd think they'd drop right down!" Jess told his brother
Sam watched as Dean instantly paled and his breathing sped up. He could see Dean fidgeting. He took off his glasses and cleaned them over and over. He cracked his kunckles loudly. He reached his arm over onto his back and started scratching at the wounds through his shirt.
"Hey quit scratching at that!" Sam scolded Dean at slapped at his hand "You'll make your back infected. Are the burns bothering you? Do you need more ointment on them?" Sam's tone changed from annoyance to worry.
Dean growled and pushed away from Sam. "First of all if they did itch I wouldn't have you put it on in front of all these people! And no, they are not bothering me."
Sam sighed and ran a hand through his hair; his brother could be so darn difficult sometimes. Why couldn't he just tell Sam how he feels without Sam forcing it out of him??
"Dean, something's bothering you, you haven't spoken all day it seems like. You're fidgeting like crazy. Usually I can't get you to shut up. What's going on?" Sam questioned
"It's….it's…..this!!" Dean stuttered and held his arms out while waving them around.
"The plane?" Jess asked, coming into the conversation which received a nod from Dean.
"Seriously??" Sam couldn't help the chuckle that escaped from his mouth
Dean glared at him and Jess slapped him.
"Sam! Your brother just told you he's afraid of flying and you laugh about it?" Jess asked with disbelief as she reached over to hold Dean's hand.
"Oh, come on! I was just trying to put some humor into the situation to take his mind off of the fear! It's just I can't believe he of all people would be scared of such a simple thing as flying." Sam tried to reason
"How is flying such a simple thing Sammy? Your up in the air thousands and thousands of feet above the ground in a metal contraption going at insane speeds! Please tell me how that's simple!" Dean scowled and his face now gained a greenish complexion.
"Dean, people fly all the time. Some people fly almost every day for their jobs." Sam explained
"Sam, millions of people are afraid of flying. It's a common thing to be frightened your first time." Jess said and rolled her eyes at him before she looked back at Dean. "Oh, Dean! You look like you're going to throw up any second! Let's get you to the bathroom before the plane takes off." Jess told his brother and then pushed past Sam as she led a hobbling Dean to the bathroom.
Come on you guys? Now you're teamed up against me? Okay, maybe it was wrong to laugh at his brother's fear but he just found it funny that Dean was afraid of flying. But Dean and Jess were way overreacting, they needed to chill out.
Dean and Jess came back five minutes later. Dean still looked extremely nervous but at least he didn't look green anymore. Sam decided he better apologize or this plane ride would be very uncomfortable.
"Dean, listen man, I'm sorry for laughing at you." He said as soon as Dean sat down
"No, it's all good Sammy. I was just nervous and overreacted, I spazed out on you when I shouldn't have."
"I for one still think you shouldn't have laughed at him Sam." Jess told him but in a calm voice this time.
"You still love me?" He teased her while nudging her arm
"There's no way I'd be able to stop." She laughed and took his hand
"Ugh, you guys are going to make me throw up all over again." Dean groaned
"Dean you know that there is a better chance of being killed by a dog than being killed in a plane crash??" Sam told his shaking brother
This seemed to calm Dean a bit. "Really?" He questioned
"Yep. You rarely hear of plane crashes anymore. There are thousands of planes flying everyday." Sam informed Dean
"Heh, I guess I'll have to tell Cassie that. She's never been on a plane either and said she's scared too. Although not as much as me but…"
"Hey, so what is up with you two anyway?? You've been spending a lot of time with her." Sam smiled
"Umm well we're…..good friends." Dean said but he could tell Sam wasn't buying it when he raised his eyebrow "We kissed alright? And well….she's my girlfriend."
To say that Sam was shocked was an understatement. "You have a girlfriend?? How come you never told me??"
Sam spun around to face Jess who wasn't surprised at all. "Did you know about this?"
"Yeah Sam she did. I told her. It happened a few days ago. I was going to ask you on Sunday what I should do to ask her out but that's when we got in that fight. I went to find you at the diner to ask you and…well you know the rest. Then Sandy's death happened and I just got around to telling Jess. I was going to tell you I swear, I was just nervous I guess…."
"That's what you went to find me for? Man, Dean I'm so sorry…I ruined everything." Sam apologized yet again
"No, Sam it's okay. I know now that even if you would get drunk, you'd never hurt me." Dean assured him
"Why would you be nervous to tell me?"
"Because….because I didn't know if you would approve I guess."
"What? Dean, you don't need my approval to go out with someone." Sam asked, confused
"Well duh Sammy, I know I don't need your approval, you're not my mother. But I want your approval. I want to know if my girlfriend is someone you like, if you think she's good for me. I don't want to date someone my family doesn't like." Dean explained himself
"Dean." Sam shook his head and smiled "I think Cassie's great for you. When she came over to visit you I didn't see one thing bad about her. And for the record, I totally approve big brother and I'm so happy for you." Sam playfully punched Dean in the arm.
"Thanks Sammy." Dean smiled
"No problem Dean, you can tell me anything, you know that. About Cassie, about school, anything."
Before Dean could reply though, the flight attendant announced that they would be taking off in 5 minutes and for everyone to buckle their seatbelts. Dean fumbled for his seatbelt before he remembered that the first thing he did after he sat back down was buckle the thing in fear that the plane would take off without notice. He sat still, counting down the time on his watch.
"Dean, dude, it's alright." Sam told his brother after sensing his nervousness. He grabbed one of Dean's hands in his own. Dean looked down at the hand in disgust.
"Uh-uh, dude I'm not your boyfriend. Don't you even start another chick-flick moment in here." Dean whispered harshly at Sam, but just then the plane started moving and Dean yelped, practically jumped out of his seat and grabbed onto Sam's hand tightly.
That reaction from Dean even got a giggle out of Jess and Sam laughed quietly as he held onto his brother's hand. "We're just going to circle the runway for a couple minutes and then we get ready for takeoff. It's not bad at all Dean."
Eventually the plane was ready for takeoff as it charged down the runway, gaining more and more speed. Dean had closed his eyes and sank the furthest down he could in his seat all while his hand was so tightly around Sam's that he was losing circulation in it. It took all of Sam's will not to pull his hand away. Finally they were up in the air, ascending into the clouds.
"Dean, it's over now." Jess gently told him and placed a hand on his shoulder
Dean slowly opened his eyes and looked around. "That's it?" He asked
"Yep, I told you it wouldn't be bad bro." Sam smiled at him
Dean then looked down and saw that he was still holding Sam's hand. He yanked his hand away quickly. "Hmm, I was expected the whole plane to shake and rattle so hard that you couldn't sit in your seat. All that I feel is a little pressure and my ears need to be popped."
"Yeah, the pressure on you and in your ears is from gravity because we're so high. But you see, it wasn't scary." Sam told him
"Scary? Who said I was scared?? I was just nervous, that's all." Dean said smugly
"Whatever you say Dean, whatever you say."
John watched as Sam, Dean and the girl entered the airport, retrieved their luggage and met a friend to take them to a motel. He was glad that his disguise was working, the cops sure sucked at trying to catch him from escaping jail. Wouldn't they have realized that he only has one eye? Heh, he had that little demon child to thank for that, but soon justice would be served. All he had to do was follow them to the motel and take Sam, easy enough. Sure Dean and the girl might come looking for him, but once they find out the demon that he is, they won't miss him, they'll be glad he's gone.
And they'll have him to thank for it.
It would finally happen tonight.
