late Sunday morning, gun range

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

After breakfast, Dean headed to the shooting range for some target practice and to check and clean his guns.

The latter tended to take longer than the former just due to numbers. Not that he minded; cleaning his guns had always been soothing for Dean, even meditative. So he was humming to himself as he took his weapons apart, letting his mind drift to all the things he had to think about this past week.

Alec wasn't quite ready to go hang in Dean's room with certain fuzzy personages, but he was happy go track his double down elsewhere. So when he found Dean at the gun range, he grinned and took at seat nearby. "Want a hand with that?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean glanced up at his double. "Sure," he said, pleased to see Alec.

Picking up the next gun, Alec began checking it with easy thoroughness. "So how's it going?" He glanced at Dean, curious.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Weirdly," Dean replied honestly. He studied Alec for a moment and then said, "If I tell you something, can you promise to not let it go any further?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Sure." Alec frowned slightly, pausing in his cleaning as he looked at Dean again. "What's up?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Dad got Zoe -- Principal Washburn -- pregnant."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec gaped, then looked immensely disappointed, sighing. "Man, that sucks."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean stared at him. "Huh? Why?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec gave him an odd look. "Dude, you hadn't noticed? She's hot. Pregnancy kind of seals the deal on her being off the playing field though."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Okay, first off, she's the principal. That kinda means she's always been off the playing field for you. Secondly, I tell you my Dad's having another kid and that's all you have to say?"

Dean opened and closed his mouth a few times. "You're worried about Hunter watching us?" he asked. Hell, he knew Alec had problems with the cat, but he hadn't thought kitten voyeurism was one of them.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec sighed and rubbed at a spot on the barrel, the expression on his face making it plain he wished he hadn't said anything to begin with.

It was, Dean thought, something they would definitely have to work on, but he wasn't about to give up sex with Alec in the meantime. "I could always put him in the bathroom for a little while," he offered.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Dawn said she'd take it," Alec said without looking up.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, she mentioned," Dean said, not mentioning the rest of that conversation even though it was tempting to watch Alec's reaction to the idea of him marking his territory like a cat. "But that's not something I can ask her to do all the time."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec sucked in his lower lip, chewing at it as he glanced at Dean. "Guess not."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"But he'll be fine in the bathroom for a few hours," Dean offered again.

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Alec allowed, though sounding somewhat dubious still.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"The bathroom is a whole other room, y'know," Dean said, pointing out the obvious. "With a door and everything."

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"I could hear it," Alec said, though he made a face when he thought about how long it would be before he and Dean got time alone otherwise. "But maybe."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Of course you can," Dean said, reaching over and patting Alec on the shoulder. "You finished with that gun?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec blinked and glanced down at the handgun he'd been holding. "Oh. Yeah."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"The rest can probably wait. You want to put these back in the locker and get out of here?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec grinned again. "Oh yeah."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned back, looked around to make sure they were alone and then leaned over and kissed Alec. "Let's go then."
