Sam Winchester was use to moving around, leaving behind every life he's made. It's a part of the package deal that is hunting. Normally he can do it, easy to become the "new kid" loner. He'd make one friend, maybe two who he could easily forget. He never gets close, that's the one rule he has made in his time. One rule he hasn't found the exception to... Until Danny Fenton joined the picture.
"Do you want to do Hansel and Gretel?" Danny cut through his thoughts, looking up to him from his own computer. Sam paused, eyes trained on the other teen. He had realized how extremely blue the other boy's eyes were.
"I was thinking something more odd." Sam shrugged, looking down at his opened tab. Wendigo. "Not many people know about wendigos, so I thought it would be a good idea." The shocked look that filtered through Danny's eyes drew Sam's attention more.
"I didn't think anyone else knew about them either." Danny breathed, a sheepish smile sliding on his face. "I'm pretty sure no one in Casper knows about them."
"So it's settled?" Sam asked, hiding his shocked. Maybe he shouldn't be so surprised considering Danny's parents. It was clearly going to be an interesting project but Sam didn't really mind. He was actually kind of looking forward to it if he was being honest.
"Hey Sammy." The serious look on his brother's face dulled the annoyance at the nickname. The younger teen turned his full attention to his brother, keeping his mind from jumping to the worse conclusions. "I got word from dad while you and Danny were working."
"Are we leaving?" Sam asked, his heart seeming to freeze. For the idea of leaving hit him harder then anytime before. The soft smirk that slide onto Dean's face, the expression only making Sam want to punch him.
"The ghost case is being a little more difficult then he expected." Dean explained. "We'll be here for maybe two more weeks."
"Jerk." Sam grounded, but he knew he's brother saw his relief.
"Bitch." Dean countered before grabbing his jacket. "How bout a movie?"
"Only if its not one of your stupid macho ones."
"I was thinking more along the lines of your nerdy superhero."
"What's the catch?" Sam's eyes narrowed, watching his brother as they made their way out of the motel.
"No catch." Dean responded nonchalantly. "Can't I do something nice for my baby bro?"
Sam kept a clean eye on Dean through out the movie and the drive back. There was always some kind of a catch with his brother.
The catch came sure enough, leaving Sam to wonder around amity, and leaving his brother the motel room for the night. Sam's parting warning was his part better stay people free. He didn't necessarily dislike the warning, it was better then hearing it until he decided to find his way somewhere else. Without realizing it, the teen found himself walking in the direction of Fenton Works.
At this hour the library was closed, and if Danny happened to be spending his night doing something better then being home, Sam could always make his way to the Nasty Burger. Nevertheless, Sam found himself doubting his choice as he knocked on the door. After a few beats, he thought maybe it was time to go...
"Sam?" The voice pulled the teen from his thoughts as he was met with a tired looking Danny. "What are you doing here? Actually sorry, come in."
"Hey Danny... I hope you don't mind I dropped by like this." Sam offered sheepishly, stepping into the chill home. "Dean has some companion over and I didn't quite want to stay there."
"Of course not, you're always welcomed." Danny smiled, but Sam could see the tiredness attempting to hide.
"Did I wake you?" Sam asked, feeling slightly bad for this choice. "I could-"
"No, no. It's okay." Danny shook his head, leading Sam towards the kitchen. "I was working on some assignments, would you like something to drink? eat?"
'Water thanks." Sam took in the dimly light room, and the layout before something popped into mind. "Would your parents mind me being here?"
"They wouldn't, they aren't here either." Danny seemed to catch Sam's underlining question. "They left on some job consultation a few hours over." Sam had a feeling he knew what the Fentons' were up too.
"Is it okay if I hang here until my brother gives me the okay to trek back?"
"Nonsense, like I said. You're always welcomed. We can hang in my room."
Maybe coming there hadn't been the best idea Sam has had. Granted he did have a fun time, he couldn't shake the feeling that moment before Dean showed.
"Everything good?" Dean asked once he's baby brother was situated in the car. Sam nodded, eyes glued to the window as they drove off to the motel room. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right Sammy?"
"Sam." Sam spoke for the first time since the pick up. "Yea I know, its just... I don't know."
"Did something happen with Danny?" Sam could feel the glances his brother was throwing him. "Did he do something?"
"No Dean, it's not like that." Sam sighed, turning to his older brother. He had enough on his mind and he didn't want his brother on him as one of them. "Can we drop this... for now... Please?" Sam turned to his brother, making eye contact before the elder sighed and turned his gaze back to the road.
"Okay, for now." Dean agreed, turning his attention to the road. Sam could basically hear the gears turning in his brother's head. Which only added to make his current thoughts worse... He really didn't know what he should do about all this.
