Dean was headed to chemistry when he heard it.
“Oh my goodness, Jane! The new boy in our government class is so cute!” Dean turned to see a few freshmen girls making their way slowly down the otherwise deserted hallway.
“I know, right? He’s so adorable! And his dimples, ugh! I wonder if he has a girlfriend.”
“I highly doubt it. He just moved here. And even if he did, she’d be too far away to do anything about it.” the first girl giggled loudly. The girls turned the corner chatting excitedly and disappeared.
Dean, however, was frozen, mind racing at the thought of his Sammy with something as ridiculous as a girlfriend. He mentally backtracked to that time in his life. Quickly doing the figuring, Dean blanched. He had lost his virginity by that time. Even if his brother was decidedly more prudish than Dean, that didn’t mean that Sam hadn’t thought about girls, about kissing them…
Dean stormed down the hallway, his mood now dismal. Sam hadn’t even mentioned being interested in someone, but what if that was because Sam didn’t trust Dean enough to go to him with these kinds of issues? Or maybe he was embarrassed about his lack of knowledge in that particular area compared to Dean? The 18 year old stomped into his classroom and slumped into his seat. Not many paid him any notice, happily carrying their conversations and ignoring the anger practically rolling off the new kid.
The teacher soon silenced the room and commenced class.
Dean spent the class in agitated turmoil. He had long since accepted his feelings towards his brother as something more than platonic, but that didn’t mean that he had actually thought about Sam with other people. Rage and jealousy boiled under Dean’s skin, and he willed the clock to go faster so he could go and find his little brother. As soon as the bell rang, Dean jumped out of his seat and charged toward their designated meeting spot. When Sam came into view, a little bit of the anger seeped away. Dean wasn’t so much mad at Sam as he was at himself for not realizing sooner that of course Sam could be interested in other people.
Sam watched as his brother came into view, and noticed immediately that something was off. Had a student said something to piss Dean off?
“Hey, Dean,” Sam said uneasily.
“‘Sup, Sammy?” Dean replied distractedly, scanning the halls and placing an absentminded hand on Sam’s shoulder. The younger boy warmed under the contact; Dean rarely touched him in public. His love for his older brother far surpassed what was considered normal, but damn if Sam didn’t love it when Dean physically showed his affection.
“Ready to go?” Sam asked, looking up at his brother.
Dean nodded distractedly and lead Sam to the car, hand never leaving Sam’s arm. Sam inwardly grinned and allowed himself to be pushed towards the impala. He climbed in and threw his bag over the back of the seat, Dean doing the same.
“Sammy?” Dean questioned hesitantly. Sam paused in his process of buckling his seat belt to look over at his brother.
“Yeah?”
Dean slowly shook his head and threw on his “big brother” grin.
“So, there any girls you dig?” he asked as turned the key in the ignition. Sam’s eyebrows drew together.
“No, why?”
Dean shrugged. “Just wondering.” but he looked a lot more at ease. Sam’s heart started to race at the implications.
“Dean, does that—? I mean, do you—? That is…” Sam stuttered, fiddling with his fingers and cracking his knuckles. “Were you jealous?” Sam finally blurted and almost slapped himself.
Dean blinked. “You sound a little hopeful, there, baby boy.”
“Well, I, um… I just—” Sam sighed and dragged a hand through his hair. Dean pulled up to their motel and put Baby in park.
“Yeah?” Dean encouraged, staring at his little brother.
“Uh, what I mean to say is, um… yes.” Sam admitted and looked down at his lap, terrified of what Dean’s face was doing. Had he assumed wrong? Dean wasn’t saying anything. Oh god, he fucked up big time. “Dean, I, I’m sorry—”
“Shut up, Sam.” Dean said, and Sam’s eyes snapped over to his older brother. Dean was smiling, well and truly smiling, hope lighting up his eyes. Sam’s breath caught.
Suddenly, Dean lunged, grabbing his younger brother and dragging Sam into his lap. He laughed giddily and pulled Sam in for a kiss. The 14 year old yelped but returned the kiss enthusiastically.
Out of all the make out sessions Dean had participated in, this one was definitely towards the lower end skill-wise, but Sammy more than made up for it in enthusiasm. His fingers gripped Dean’s shoulders tightly, as if letting go meant getting shoved away, so Dean wrapped his arms around Sam’s waist and dragged him closer. Sam wrenched his mouth away suddenly and dropped his forehead onto Dean’s.
“Thank you.” he whispered. Dean huffed.
“No chick flick moments.”
“Jerk.”
“Bitch.”
