Rooftop - Tuesday round sunset

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean lugged his camera and the things he needed to set up the photos he wanted to take up onto the roof, along with a small cooler with ice and drinks and munchies for afterwards. He looked around, picking out the best angles and waited for his model to show up.

"Hey," Dawn said, already sweating as she closed the door behind her. There were a lot of stairs and it was still pretty darn hot out. "Did I hear right this morning? Did Sam get called into the principal's office?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, he did," Dean confirmed. "Principal gave him detention for hitting Alec. I went down to the office and tried to talk him out of it, but he'd already confessed." He shrugged. "Hard to do too much for him after that."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"How would you get him out of it?" Dawn asked. "I mean, isn't there video? Not to mention, Sam did hit Alec." She was a little proud he'd owned up to it.

"So. What'm I doing here?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I told Principal Washburn that it was an accident and he hadn't actually meant to hit Alec," Dean said. "Since Sammy had already confessed she didn't believe me." He grimaced. "And gave me detention for lying."

His grimace turned to a wide smile. "And you're up here because you're a wonderful girfriend who has consented to help me with my photo assignment of berries, birds and air."

"So you're both spending Saturday in detention?" Oooh, prime underwear dancing time right there. Not that she ever did that.

"Berries, birds and air?" She poked her own arm, then shrugged at Dean. "Um, I hate to break this to you, but I'm not any of those things."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I had noticed that," Dean said sliding his arms around her waist. "Don't worry, I'm not actually expecting you to turn into a bird-- although this being Fandom that isn't as impossible as it sounds. There will be feathers involved though if that's okay?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Feathers?" She may have looked a little suspicious. "No glue."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure the only reason Dad hadn't searched for it before is that Sammy never told him he lost it." Dean grimaced. "He would've told me, but I wasn't around."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

She stopped braiding and turned around to look at him. "You never talk about that. What happened when you went through the portal, or what it was like when you got back. Is it weird for you?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Not so much now," Dean said, thinking about it. "Coming here so soon after getting back was probably a good thing -- everything here's so different from what I was used to, any weirdness from losing three years kinda got lost in the weirdness of being at school." He was silent for a moment then said in a softer voice, "It was beyond weird when I first got out though. It was like everything was just... left of center, y'know? I worried..." Dean shook his head. "I worried about stupid things."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Like what?" She brushed a feather against the palm of her hand.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I worried that I didn't have a place anymore. That what I had been, who I'd been, wasn't there anymore. That Dad and Sammy..." He broke off and looked down at his hands in Dawn's hair. "Like I said, stupid things."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yes, they were stupid," Dawn twisted around and hugged him. "Who could ever take your place?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I can't deny it was... surreal," Dean said with a wry expression. "But at least we still knew each other." He smirked. "Even if my brother had shot up like a freaking beanstalk."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Wow, it really bothers you that he's taller, doesn't it?" She teased.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Well look at it from my point of view. One day, he comes up to my shoulder, the next I'm having to look up at him. It's just unnatural." He grinned suddenly. "Besides it's something I can tease him about that isn't going to, say, sucker punch me in the common room."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I still can't believe he did that," Dawn said, finishing a braid on the right side of her head and adding two feathers. "So, how stupid does it look?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Actually I can believe it. I've seen Sammy lose his temper before. It's never pretty. You on the other hand..." Dean smiled at her. "You look... exotic. Amazing. Gorgeous. If all birds looked like you I'd take up bird watching in a second."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Wow. Definitely don't want to get Sam angry with me," Dawn decided, then blushed. "So, is this enough, or do I need more feathers?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Sure if you want," Dean said as he continued to shoot. "Alec posed for my first assignment, Jaye for my second. And I've got a few candid pictures from when I was fooling around with the camera when I first got it."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Of course I'd like to see them," Dawn said, plopping down on the ground and letting the braids and feathers cover her, so only her eyes were peeking out. "You did them, and it sounds like you've put a lot of thought into the project. Do you like the workshop?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I like that," Dean said admiringly and knelt to get a better angle. "Yeah, the workshop's a lot of fun. More than I thought it would be."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"What's your favorite part?" Dawn asked.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"This," Dean said, holding up the camera. "Getting ideas, even some far out ones and then managing to actually get them on film." He smiled shyly. "Never really considered myself the creative type before."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You seem like you know what you're doing," Dawn said, hoping she was being encouraging, "and you're really easy to relax with. What's the most far out idea you've had so far?"
