[Fourth Floor CR, Late Sunday Night (post-voices back)]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec and Dean had found an empty common room and claimed it as their own, setting up shop with a pile of junk food and some channel with bad movies lined up throughout the night.

Right now was Assault of the Slaying Persimmons.

Watching a particularly badly acted scene, Dean made an involuntary sound of derision, then froze because he'd actually made a sound.

He cleared his throat and could hear that too. Glancing over at Alec he tentatively tried words. "Your voice working again?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec blinked; he hadn't even tried talking in a long while, really, so it took a second before he thought to speak instead of mouthing it. "Maybe? Ha! Looks like it!"

He grinned and threw his arms up in the air, stretching just to hear himself groan as joints popped slightly. "Damn, it feels good to make noise again."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hell, yeah," Dean agreed. "Not being able to talk totally sucked out loud." He grinned a little. "So to speak."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Cocking his head, Alec shrugged slightly. "I didn't mind it too much. Besides the heartstealing things, it was kind of interesting. Lot easier to communicate like this though."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I like being able to talk, thank you very much. Typing everthing out took too long. And you ended up with weirdness like my girlfriend decorating you in green... things. Did we ever figure out what they were supposed to be?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Flowers?" Alec lifted his arm to look at the messy green splotches. They'd smudged, so he figured they'd come off if he scrubbed, but he hadn't yet bothered. "Or maybe funny looking demons, for all I know."

"With Dawn, it's hard to tell," Dean said leaning over to take a closer look at the blurred drawings on Alec's arm and still not being able to make them out. "Why did you let her start drawing on you in the first place?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Because it was funny," he said, smirking. "And pretty girls can draw mutant asparagus on me if they want, as long as they come off later."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean snorted. "Mutant aspargus?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec shrugged broadly. "You got a better suggestion?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"No, not really," Dean said after a moment's thought. "I just worry about how your brain works sometimes."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"My brain? It works just fine," he said, bemused.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but it's coming up with things like mutant asparagus. Not something that normally falls into conversation." Dean shook his head and stood up. "Mutant vegetables or not, I think getting our voices back deserves some kind of celebration. Milkshake?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Any offense that might have been taken was discarded in favor of anticipation. "Really?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean chuckled at the look on his double's face. "Really," he said, heading into the small kitchen area. "If you think that's good enough for celebrating."

Alec got up on his knees and draped himself over the back of the couch to watch Dean, the tv still blaring behind him. Persimmons were eating people and causing mayhem, but that was nothing when there were milkshakes to be had. "Definitely."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate okay?" he asked, hiding a smirk at Alec's wide eyed reaction.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure," he said, grinning.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean shook his head as he got out the ingredients and started putting them into the blender. "Dude, you are so easy."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec shrugged. "About certain things."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Milkshakes."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I blame you for my addiction," Alec said gravely, nodding.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"That's me," Dean said breezily, putting the lid on the blender and turning it on. "Filthy pusher and purveyor of dairy treats everywhere."
