"Squeak." It was so quiet at first that Sam wasn't sure that he'd heard it at all. Closing his eyes again, he turned to the side and put his hands under his pillow.
"SQUEAK!" The noise was loud enough for Sam to sit up straight in his bed. He slipped out of the covers quietly and crept towards his door, hoping that it was a rat that was making this noise.
"Squeak squeak squeeee-squueee squeeaaakkk."
"DEAN!"
At hearing Sam bellowing his name out loud, Dean stopped trying to slide across the floor in his new shoes and looked at Sam like a child who'd done something wrong.
"What the hell are you doing?" Sam asked, scrubbing his face down tiredly. It was 2am. Trust Dean to still be awake at this time of the night.
"I'm trying out my new shoes," Dean told his brother enthusiastically.
They'd passed a shoe store while coming back from the grocery store and Dean had used his extra pool money to get himself some brand new shoes. He'd asked Sam if he'd wanted some new shoes too, but Sammy had shrugged and said that there was nothing wrong with the shoes that he wore right now.
"Why?" Sam asked his brother, blinking his eyes furiously as his eyelids got heavy.
"Becauseā¦.," Dean started off, moving his feet from side to side. It was because Dean would never admit it but he had secretly wanted to try out these new shoes ever since he'd bought them. He'd decided that he'd wait until he was alone to try them out but he really couldn't delay it any longer.
Sam suddenly noticed the joyful expression on his brother's face and realised the same thing. It was very rarely that Dean got to buy something for himself and it was only when Sam had told Dean to get himself the new shoes that he'd actually decided to buy them for himself. "They are pretty cool, though aren't they?" Sam asked, smiling when he saw his brother nodding excitedly.
"Yeah," Dean said clearing his throat, "and I got you a pair too." He went to his room and retrieved a pair of shoes which, Sam had to admit were, were pretty awesome.
As Sam stepped forward and took the shoes, trying them on, he also had to admit that they were pretty comfortable and fit him perfectly. In fact, he definitely liked them more than the shoes he wore now.
"You like them?" Dean asked, recognising the look on his brother's face.
"Yeah," Sam answered with a smile that showed his teeth, dimples deepening, "Yeah. They're great! Thanks, Dean."
Dean flashed Sam a quick smile before ruffling his hair and shook own head as he headed towards his own bedroom, glad to know that he'd made the right call when he'd impulsively decided to buy his brother a new pair of shoes too.
Just as Dean was getting comfortable in his own bed, sighing as he wrapped the bed sheet around himself-
"Squeeaaak squeeee-squee-squueee."
"Dammit Sammy!"
