Third Floor Common Room - Sunday afternoon

Sam was lounging on one of the couches in the common room, reading Crime and Punishment and just generally enjoying the act of relaxing, because that's exactly what Sundays were meant for.

"Right." Dean began running the comb through his brother's hair. "So who did this when I was gone?" he asked. "Dad?"

"Yeah, for the most part," Sam said, doing his best to hold still. "I'll admit, trying to cut my own hair was not as easy as I would have liked."

Dean picked up the scissors and snipping at the back of Sam's hair, taking off maybe half an inch. He knew if he took off any more, Sam would shriek bloody murder. "Yeah, well, it's hard to see what you're doing to your own head." He paused. "Might get you to give me a trim next time I need one."

Sam had forgotten how nearly relaxing this was; a lot more relaxing than when his dad did it, that was for sure. "I could be up for that," he said, with just a hint of an evil grin.

"Well, Dad's not around to do it and you at least know how I like my hair so..." He gave a half shrug, brushing off any deeper significance his statement might have had.

Sam smiled, allowing himself to feel the tiniest bit honored. "I do, yeah. And I promise, I won't cut anything that won't grow back."

"You better not because I can still beat your ass, extra years and height notwithstanding." He moved to the left side of Sam, beginning the pattern of combing and cutting again.

"Really? You sound awfully certain about that, and I'm not sure if that's wise." Taunting Dean while he was still cutting was probably not the wisest move in the world, but Sam was willing to take the chance.

"I am certain of that," Dean said with a smirk, as he carefully cut around Sam's ears. "I'm not the one who's given up sparring since we got here."

Sam just barely kept from moving to make a face at Dean. "Okay, so maybe I'm focusing a little more on the educational possibilities of our summer. But I could still kick your ass if I needed to."

"Dream on geekboy."

Sam laughed. "Oh, I will."

Dean moved to the other side of his brother, "Seriously though, Sam," he began as he was combing, "you really should keep in shape. There's enough weird stuff around here that who knows when you might need to defend yourself -- or against what? You can't afford to lose your edge."

Sam sighed, but decided to just humor Dean for the moment. It wasn't like he didn't have a point about how necessary defense might be. "I'm not going to lose my edge. And can I remind you that you really don't need to worry about me as much as you do sometimes?"

"Yeah, well, everybody needs a hobby." Truth was, he probably did worry about his brother too much, but it was hard to break the habits of a lifetime. Worrying about Sammy was practically part of his personality now.

"And what, you can't take up collecting coins or something?" Sam tried to muster up a tiny bit of whining, but in the end, he couldn't do it. He knew how much worrying about him meant to Dean. "I'll keep up on my sparring, I promise."

"That's my boy." Finishing trimming the other side, Dean moved to stand in front of Sam and regarded his bangs. "I'm assuming you want to keep most of the forehead foilage."

"Yes please," Sam replied, snickering. "It's not foliage, and it makes me look good."

"Don't know if I'd go that far, but I probably wouldn't recognise you if you did get rid of it," Dean admitted. He combed out Sam's bangs and carefully measured about half an inch above his eyebrows. "This long enough?" he asked before cutting.

"Yeah, that's fine. I don't want people to not be able to recognize me; I'd have to do the whole introduction thing over again. Of course, I could try saying that I'm Alec's brother this time around, and see how far that gets me," Sam said innocently.

Dean chuckled. "Watch it, Sammy. Place like this, saying something like that could be tempting fate. Maybe the next new student will be your long lost double."

Sam thought back to when he met Rory, and how she mistook him for her ex-boyfriend. But there was no way the two of them could look as alike as Dean and Alec. "Not gonna happen. The world isn't ready for more than one of me."

"Yeah, you're something all right. Hold still now or you're going to end up with crooked foiliage."
