It was a warm Sunday afternoon, and the Winchester brothers were spending it sprawled on a couch watching college football. Every time the Jayhawks lost the ball Dean would exclaim in outrage and Sam would stuff his face with pretzels. Tony would cheer. The traitor.
"I swear to God, Tony, you cheer one more time and I will throw you out of your own apartment." Dean threatened.
"I have to root for the Buckeyes; I played for them." Tony replied matter-of-factly, finishing his bottle of beer.
"I went to Stanford, and you don't see me cheering for them," Sam pointed out.
"But you didn't play for them," Tony countered.
"Whatever happened to loyalty? You were raised to be a Jayhawk fan!" Dean grabbed a handful of pretzels from the bowl that Sam was hogging.
"You're just mad that KU is losing."
"Well, the game isn't over yet."
The game continued with boos and cheers and an "OW!" from Tony when Dean hit him after Ohio State got two touchdowns ahead. The game was now tied up, however, and seemed to be going nowhere.
"I don't know how you do it," Dean remarked, sounding defeated.
Tony glanced to his right, "Do what?"
Dean and Tony were alone on the couch, Sam having gone to grab more beer and pretzels from the kitchen.
"Go after people all day. I mean, demons and monsters I get. People are just crazy."
Tony laughed, "What you do isn't exactly a cake walk either."
"Monsters, demons…they want destruction for destructions sake. People have the choice between good and evil. And the fact that some choose evil? It's just…crazy."
"Amen to that. But what gets me though it is that I'm helping someone. We do the same thing, Dean. You just fight what the general populace doesn't see."
"Yeah…" Dean's eyes were drawn suddenly to the television. Could it be? Was that…? Yes!
"RUN, RUN, RUN!" Dean shouted at the T.V. as a Jayhawk ran down the field, ball tucked safely to his side without a Buckeye in sight.
"Am I missing it?" Sam called alarmed, beers tucked under one arm and pretzels in the other.
"Yeah, hurry up! The Jayhawks are about to take victory!"
"No! Come on, what are you doing? You can catch him!" Tony complained. Why did the Buckeyes have to start playing lousily now?
Sam plopped down between Tony and Dean, and passed the beers with little care, eyes riveted to the screen.
"YES!" Sam and Dean cheered in unison, throwing up their arms in victory.
"NO! Why…?"
"Ha-ha! That's what you get for switching teams!" Dean laughed.
"There's always next year."
"You know who says that Tony? Losers!" Sam taunted.
"Yeah? Well loser this!" Tony grabbed Sam in a headlock and proceeded to give him a noogie.
"Hey! I thought we outgrew this!"
"Heh. All's fair in love and war Sammy!"
"You suck!" Sam kicked the coffee table out of the way and grabbed Tony around the waist and threw them both to the ground. On the way down Tony let go of Sam's head and grabbed for Dean in the vain hope of keeping himself from tumbling to the ground with Sam. All he succeeded in doing was dragging Dean into the wrestling match.
The day passed with many laughs and taunts. When Monday morning came, they promised to see eachother again soon. All in all, it was a nice vacation from the monsters that lurked both in the day and night.
