Fourth floor Common Room, Sunday evening

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

After taking Sammy out for a run and a game of catch, Dean grabbed all the fixings for phenomanl subs and headed down to the common room. Making himselfa couple of huge sandwiches, Dean settled down on the couch to watch the American Gladiator finale.

Every now and then, he'd toss another piece of deli meat to Sammy.

Liir had originally intended to go to the third floor common room with his work, but there'd been no one there and the scratch of his pens on the page and the turn of pages had seemed especially lonely to him today. As such, he'd decided to head up to see if any of the others had anyone sitting around, doing homework, cooking... even watching television.

He could stand the things when they were on, even when the screen was curved.

He gave Dean a smile and a wave as he walked in and found a spot, but didn't bother him further since he hadn't spoken to the other boy since his first weekend, as far as he could remember. He didn't want to bother him, after all.

...though he did wonder about the dog.

Sam was happily munching away on the deli meat as he stretched out on the couch. He had almost no interest in what was on the TV, but he couldn't leave Dean while Dean was providing him with food.

"Hey," Dean greeted him with a lazy wave and tossed some ham to Sammy.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Hello," he said, turning the page on his work. "Been a while. I hope you don't mind. The quiet was bothering me downstairs."

He peered over the table at the dog.

"He's a handsome animal. I didn't know you had a pet."

Focused more on the tv, Dean reached out and absently scritched Sammy's ears. "Dude, strong women are hot."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I do. A cat named Hunter. But this isn't a pet. This is Sammy, my brother." Dean waved a hand. "Random Fandom weirdness."

[likethegun]

Not as hot as Dawn, Sam thought, giving a sniff of displeasure at the TV.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He nodded, though he wondered what the Random Fandom weirdness he might be referring to could be.

"I'm sure he's a very nice Dog. I'm sorry I didn't meet him previously."

...no, it didn't occur to him that this might be the Sam who was in his cooking class with him. Why do you ask?

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Everyone's a critic," Dean said, giving him some more meat and some more scritches.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean smiled wryly. "He's usually a lot taller. And less furry. Same puppy eyes though."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He looked at Dean.

Then Sam.

Then Dean.

"You mean that's Sam from Miss Lulu's cooking class?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean nodded. "Yup."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

His eyebrows both jumped up at once before settling again.

"Hmm." The Witch would have been fascinated. "Can he speak? Or was he turned into a dog as opposed to a Dog?"

He realized only after that he might have been rude by speaking of Sam as if he weren't there.

"If you can understand," he added, "my apologies. I don't mean to talk about you as if you're not there."

[likethegun]

Sam sprawled happily under the scritches. As much as he preferred being human, he could have ended up in a worse way than being a dog.

When one of the female gladiators came on the screen, Sam barked at Dean. Is that your type?

Peter came in and saw what was on the TV. "Gotta say? Show about demons would be less frightening. Hey Dean."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Who, Crush? Hell, yeah. You saying you wouldn't want to Hang Tough with her?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Peter. And what, you don't think strong women are hot?"

[likethegun]

Sam picked his head up at the sound of Peter's voice, and was caught between wanting to run up to him, and wanting to blend into the couch so he wouldn't notice him.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Nothing against strong women," Peter said. He made himself comfortable on a couch. "I'm just a little scared of the outfits."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Sam was soooooooooo outta luck.

"Is that Sam?" Peter asked, since 1) Dean was in the room 2) beagle and 3) it was a rare Saturday when Peter didn't listen to radio.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, okay, I can see that," Dean allowed. "When I had to wear the cheerleading uniform was bad enough."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"If God is kind to me, there are pictures of that," Peter said.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Not that I'm aware of," Dean said. "Though I've got some of Alec in his."

[likethegun]

Sam wasn't terribly surprised that Peter knew it was him, and barked at him in reply before hopping off the couch and going over to him.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure I'd want to see the pictures of Alec in outfits that you felt like keeping," Peter said, gently teasing.
