Gym, Thursday Evening

Dawn was trying to remember the workout routines Kennedy had drilled into the slayers and was eventually working at three-quarters speed, complete with practice stake as she got her muscles back into the habit.

Next would come some time on the treadmill. Running away should always be an available option.

Since his main workout partner had taken off with only a note, Dean decided to head down to the gym and workout on his own. He paused when he walked in and saw Dawn there, but then continued forward determinedly.

He wasn't going to let things be awkward between them.

"Hey Dawn," he greeted her with a genuine smile.

Dawn had missed that memo and promptly tripped on the mat. "Uh, hi."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Still smiling determinedly, Dean walked over and offered her a hand up. "That probably isn't the best move to try in a fight."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Dawn hesitated, then took his hand as she got to her feet. "No, falling on my face doesn't usually work so well."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Dean chuckled. "Yeah, I hear that."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Sam and I are okay," she told him, wiping her sweaty hands on her yoga pants. "What about you two?"

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
"We're good," Dean said. "Glad to hear it -- means I won't have to lock the two of you in a closet until you work it out."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
She grinned. "Could do that anyway."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll keep that in mind." He paused and in a more serious tone asked, "So you and I - we're okay?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I--" she ducked her head. "I want to be."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Me too." He tried for a smile but it was kinda wobbly. "I mean it's not like I have so many friends that I can afford to lose one to Fandom weirdness. They run off unannounced enough as it is."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't want to lose any either, especially you." Which didn't mean she was quite ready to hug him the way she would normally. "Who ran off?"

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Alec took off to chase down his long lost clone brother or something. You hadn't heard?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I only listen to radio on Saturdays," she shrugged a shoulder and brushed some hair out of her eyes. "He just left? Like no note, no nothing? And wait, he's got a brother? Are you okay?"

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
"He left me a note. I got home from your party last Wednesday and found it on my bed," Dean explained. "And it's not brother in the Sammy and me sense. If I've got it straight, it's another X5 with the same DNA profile so he's walking around with my face too." The not answering the other question was surely merely an oversight.

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow, that sucks." And definitely merited a hug, should he want it. "How many more of you guys are there? Because I gotta say, it's very pre--"

She broke off. No flirting with Dean for a while. She reached out to poke him. "You missed part of my suave questioning."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Why wouldn't I be okay?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Because you got left behind?"

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Dean kept from flinching at that, but just barely. "He didn't want backup. Said I'd slow him down. Not in those words exactly, but that was the gist. Maybe he's right. Lord knows I don't have the X5 speed thing happening."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
That, Dawn actually understood. After all, it was why she'd let Mel finish patrol on her own the other night. "He might have a point, Dean. Plus, this way he doesn't have to worry about you getting hurt or having you distract him."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
"I can handle myself," Dean defended, completely forgetting he was 'okay' with Alec not taking him along. "And how the hell am I supposed to watch his back if I don't even know where he is?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course you can," Dawn got all eyerolly, "Maybe he doesn't need you to watch his back this time? Sam's got one you can watch, if you're looking for something to do."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, because going to classes here is so much more dangerous than walking into the Manticore's den."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"It's the weekends you've got to watch out for," she grumbled. "You're not going after him, right?"

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Wouldn't know where to start looking," Dean grumbled.

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
"So you'll wait here, and Sam and I will try to come up with ways to keep you busy?"

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Dean looked up at her. "I'm almost afraid to ask what you'd have in mind."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
She decided to leave the vampire hunting as a last resort. "You could help me and Sam with our relationship homework?"

Yeah, still evil.

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Dean stared at her. "What would make you think I would be even remotely good at that?"

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow. Sense of humor at zero. I was kidding, Dean."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Right.

"I knew that."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure he'll be back," Dawn said. "He's too tough and too good. Besides, this is home."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Dean said, taking a deep breath. "And I am so kicking his ass all over the island when he does come back."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds fair." She stretched her arms over her head. "Want to kick mine now? I could use the help."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Dean smiled slightly at that. "Sure, if you're comfortable with me grabbing you."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so slight hole in the plan. She could do this. "Sure, I can do that."

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Right then," Dean said, his smile widening. "Let's spar."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
She reached up to tie her hair back. "Is this the time to remind you that I'm little and delicate and bruise easily?"

[identity profile] saltandammo.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry." Dean said moving to stand opposite her on the mats. "I'll keep track of the fact that you're not Sammy or Alec."

[identity profile] lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com 2007-10-06 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
She flashed a grin as she tried to think about strategy, "I'll try to remember that you're not a slayer or a vampire."
