Fourth floor common room, Thursday evening

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean had left his room, wondering if a change of venue would silence the music, which not so much.

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

He flopped down on the sofa and grabbed the tv remote, wondering if he could find something to drown it out. It was a good song and all, but there was only so many times through he could listen to it.

Comments

"Good song," Dawn commented as she entered, "I could hear it as I came down the hall and thought it was maybe you. Seems to fit."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Better than the song that never ends which I was getting round lunch," Dean admitted grudgingly.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"The song that what?" Dawn had never heard it. "Sam had a show tune moment this morning."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean snorted laughter. "Serves him right. The neverending song's all his fault anyway."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

It goes to my head like brandy,
I enjoy being a girl!

Dawn was giggling as she remembered. "Yeah? How'd'you figure?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"When Sammy was four and a half there was a time he couldn't stop singing it, until Dad was ready to gag him and lock him in the trunk and I was ready to help."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Awwwwww," Dawn said before she could stop herself, even though she knew that wasn't the point of the story. "Did you get revenge?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I think I still am getting payback," Dean admitted. "Or trying to train Sammy's musical tastes, but probably at least part of the former."

Live fast die young
The only way ta play
Wouldn't have it
Couldn't have it any other way

Never make it out of this a live
Never say never say never to my self
So what who cares, never meant to survive
Paybacks a bitch now you're gonna feel
The wrath

Dean looked annoyed at the air. "Not quite that kind of payback, but thanks for that."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Do you really think that way?" Dawn asked, "Because you're wrong."

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the Sinners are much more fun...

Only the good die young.

She scowled. "Shut up. That's not helping."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it's much easier to talk without comments from the choir invisible."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I was noticing that," she agreed, "and kinda hoping it was done for the day."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

And I've been takin' care of business everyday
Takin' care of business every way
I've been takin' care of business It's all mine
Takin' care of business and working overtime

Dean rolled his eyes. "That's not funny," he said to the air.

Vacation
All I ever wanted
Vacation
Had to get away
Vacation
Meant to be spent alone

Dawn scowled again. "All I meant was that you sound like you could use a break."

Sam came up to the fourth floor and peered into the common room, happy to see Dean. "Is it safe in here?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean opened his mouth to answer but got interrupted by the invisible music playing:

So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy - he's my brother

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Dude, you are too heavy, gigantor that you are."

[likethegun]

"I'm not that heavy," Sam said, looking down at himself self-consciously before sinking down onto the couch. "I was really hoping that there wouldn't be any music up here."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, but it's in full force," Dean said. "It spent a lot of the early evening calling me wayward and telling me to carry on and earlier it was singing That Song."

[likethegun]

"I got called a girl in a number of different ways," Sam admitted. "What song is That Song?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You know. That Song. From when you were four?"

And obligingly,

This is the song that never ends,
Yes it goes on and on my friends
Some people starting singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because...

Dean groaned and buried his face in his hands.

[likethegun]

Sam laughed, and for the first time all day, he sang along with the music.

This is the song that never ends,
Yes it goes on and on my friends
Some people starting singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because...

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You really want me to hurt you, don't you?"

[likethegun]

"I'd like to see you try." For his own safety, Sam switched to humming instead.

"I could... gag you with dildo cozies," Dean heard himself blurt, thinking back to the conversation he'd had with Alec earlier.

[likethegun]

"...I think that's one of the freakiest things you've ever threatened to do to me."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hey it got you to stop singing," Dean pointed out.
