Fourth floor common room, Monday evening

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Still in the wolf form that Umbridge had turned him into, Dean was stretched out on the couch, chin resting on the armrest, tv remote in his mouth. With careful experimenting, he'd figured out how to turn on the tv and change the channel by biting down gently on the buttons.

He was currently watching an old werewolf movie; it had seemed appropriate given the circumstances.

[ooc: Yep, Dean's a wolf. Open like an open thing.]

"Oh, okay." She relaxed. "What else did you do while I was in LA?"

[likethegun]

"Um, I took Scout out for a lot of walks. And I did some reading. And I didn't go to the girlkissy party," Sam said.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"There was a girlkissy party? How come you didn't go?"

[likethegun]

"Because I figured you'd get all glare-y and mad if you found out I went to a party to watch girls kiss each other?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn sighed. "Just so we're clear? Because we're not married, you're a teenage guy, and there's this thing guys have about watching girls kiss each other? I don't care if you watch other girls kiss each other--I don't, really." She leveled a look at him. "Sam-kissy is another story."

[likethegun]

"There definitely wouldn't have been any Sam-kissy," he assured her quickly. "And girls have the same thing about watching guys kiss each other, you know."

"It's okay, and I'm not gonna tell 'em not to kiss in front of me if they want to," she shrugged, "but it's not a do or die thing with me, y'know?"

[likethegun]

"It's not a do or die thing with me either," Sam replied, laughing. "That would be Dean, not me."

"So, if I were to go, oh, I don't know, like, underwear shopping with Rikku, you wouldn't want to watch?" Dawn teased.

[likethegun]

The way Sam's eyes got glossy for a moment as he pictured that said more than any answer he could give.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn promptly started giggling.

[likethegun]

"That was such an unfair question, throwing underwear in there too."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

The giggles tapered off, and now she was just smirking at him knowingly.

[likethegun]

"What's that look for?" Sam asked.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

It was very third grade but... "I know something you don't know," she sing-songed.

[likethegun]

Sam gave Dawn a strange look. "Does this involve your underwear? Because if it does, I'd really like to know."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I think you'll have to wait," she decided, nodding once. "Yep. I definitely think patience would be good for you."

[likethegun]

"What if I don't want to be patient?" Sam asked, throwing in some puppy eyes for good measure.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Darn it. "Then you miss out on a pretty decent surprise, if I say so myself, and I do."

[likethegun]

"You're very mean," Sam said, but at least he dropped the puppy face.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"And you love me anyway, so what does that say about you?"

[likethegun]

"That I'm crazy. Or that you're worth the abuse."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn stuck her tongue out at him. "See if I show you anything now."

[likethegun]

Sam flailed a little and tried to look repentant. "I meant that it means you're a wonderful person who isn't nearly as cruel as I think, because that would mean not showing me anything."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Now you're just kissing my butt," she grinned. "Which will be very attractively attired. Rikku gave her approval and everything."
