KH*DW*KH*DW

Dean watched, nose scrunched up in disgust, as his girlfriend of five months stirred her cup of milk with 'coffee jelly,' of all things. Wasn't anything sacred anymore? What was wrong with a good, old-fashioned cup of steaming hot Joe? Personally, he liked his coffee straight. No sugar, no milk, and definitely no coffee jelly. Who actually enjoys stuff like that? Certainly not him.

Although, he bet Sammy liked unnecessary condiments like that. Sam and Kagome got along well, especially since they were the same age, and both were academic nerds, so Dean wouldn't be surprised if his younger brother actually knew what 'coffee jelly' was. It was almost sickening how alike the two were, but he was just happy the most important people in his life were getting along and were friends.

Kagome watched, amethyst orbs sparkling in amusement, as Dean continued to make various faces while he stared at her drink. "Something the matter, Dean?" she asked, knowing exactly what was bugging the hunter.

"What?" He straightened in his seat, finally tearing his eyes away from the monstrosity that ruined a perfectly good cup of milk. Did I seriously just think that? Come on! "Nothing's wrong, Kagome." His mouth curved into a charming smile. "Why would there be? I'm with my favorite girl, and we're enjoying the morning with a good cup of coffee." He lifted his mug of the dark, caffeinated drink for emphasis.

A slim brow rose, almost mocking. "Or in my case: a good cup of milk – with coffee jelly," she said, teasingly. And, just to watch his face screw up in disgusted horror, she scooped out a cube of said jelly, and ate it with exaggerated delight. "Mm, this is good."

Dean nearly choked, shuddering in horror. "Geezus," he nearly wheezed out. "I still have no idea how you can… how you can eat that stuff." He'd seen some gross, disturbing things throughout his entire life, but nothing made his gag reflex twitch as much as coffee jelly did. It was just unnatural. It was the most inhuman thing he'd ever come across.

Kagome laughed. "It's not that bad," she reassured. "You should try it. It won't bite, unlike some of things we've come across since our acquaintance." She'd met the Winchester brothers during a hunt in a small town. They'd teamed up, because it had seemed like the best idea to get rid of the demon faster, and Kagome had just never left afterwards. Dean had definitely helped with that decision, and she hadn't looked back since.

"Send me into a nest of vampires, shape-shifters, whatever, any day," he said. "But I'm not eating that. Nope. Nu-uh. Ain't gonna happen, sweetheart."

She pouted prettily. "Not even if it meant saving my life?"

"Like there would be anything dumb enough to take you captive," he scoffed, rolling his eyes at the sheer ridiculousness of the thought. His girlfriend happened to be a badass, all-powerful priestess. If any demon or evil being tried to touch her, let alone threatened her, she would simply turn them into a pile of ash.

"Sam might," she countered.

Dean gave her a look of disbelief.

"He might," Kagome reiterated. "Well, he would, if I told him it would get you to eat coffee jelly."

"I knew he would know what that stuff is," he grumbled under his breath, shaking his head in exasperation.

Sam's voice suddenly cut into the couple's conversation.

"Who is he, and what does he know?" The younger Winchester took a seat between Dean and Kagome. The café they were in was spacious, well-lit, with circular tables and tall stools for customers. When Dean shot him a scornful look, Sam smiled boyishly. If his older brother didn't want anyone sitting next to Kagome, he shouldn't have left the space open. "So, what or who are we talking about?"

When Kagome opened her mouth to answer, Dean quickly interrupted her. "Nothing and no one." He took a sip of his coffee for emphasis. From the corner of his eye, he saw the raven haired beauty pout adorably at him for ruining her fun. His mug hid the smirk that twitched his lips upward.

"Okay," Sam drawled, not believing that for an instant. With a shake of his head, he brought out his laptop. "Anyway, I did some research on our next job…"

Going over the information didn't take long. Dean mostly listened, running a mental inventory on what they'd need weapon-wise, while Sam and Kagome heavily debated what they knew about the lore surrounding the supernatural being causing the town's current problems. He knew better than to cut in from personal experience, especially when the two really got into it.

The hunter trio were about to leave when Sam finally noticed Kagome's morning beverage. His entire expression seemed to perk up, and he smiled.

"Oh, this place serves coffee jelly?" he said. "You don't see that very often. I should get some before we head out."

Dean groaned. Kagome laughed. "You're killing me, Sammy," the former said.

"What? Why?" Sam asked, perplexed.

Instead of answering, the older Winchester shook his head. Throwing some money onto the table, he turned to exit the café. "I'm gonna wait outside. I'm not watching another drink get butchered by," he cringed, "coffee jelly." With a full-body shake that was reminiscent to a dog shaking water from its fur, he quickly left without a backwards glance.

The last thing Dean heard before the glass door closed was Sam asking, "What's wrong with coffee jelly?"

He gave another shudder of revulsion. "Definitely unnatural," he muttered. A thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his handsome face. "I wonder if that stuff can be exorcised?"
