Fourth floor common room, Sunday night

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean had all kinds of munchies and was settled in to watch The Amazing Race. He was ready for an entertaining night of doing nothing.

[ooc:open! And Dean would probably even share his munchies. Just not the M&Ms]

Peyton was still feeling rather restless today, so she was glad to see someone in one of the common rooms. And then she saw who it was and nearly bolted. But... she was working on being less skittish about the whole thing, so instead she took a deep breath, stepped in and waved. "Hey."

"Hey," Dean replied with a lazy wave. He was focused on the tv and didn't remember right away why Petyon might be leery of him. "Come to watch reality tv?"

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Uh... sure," she said, coming a little farther into the room. "What are you watching?"

And which one are you?

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Amazing Race," Dean said. "Just the second week so it's a little early still to figure out who the really annoying people are. But still."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure I've ever watched it," Peyton admitted.

"It's kinda like a global scavenger hunt," Dean explained. "Sammy and I? We'd totally kick butt if we ever were crazy enough to go on it."

Dean, then, not Alec.

"I bet you would," she said, then coughed quietly into her hand. "Christo."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

The soft Christo jogged Dean's memory and he gave Peyton a soft sad smile. "I'm not a demon. Promise."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

She blushed. "Sorry. Just... checking, you know."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I know," Dean said softly. "I understand. Can't be too careful."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm kinda going on the once burned twice shy thing," Peyton admitted, smiling to show she was okay. "Sorry. I don't mean, you know, to be rude or anything."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I'd do the same thing in your shoes," Dean said. "Hell, I have."

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Okay, good, 'cause I didn't want - don't want - any of this to be awkward or well..." She looked at him ruefully. "I'm babbling."

Okay, that settled it. The fourth floor was officially more interesting than the second.

Also, it was nice to know Alec looked almost as pretty when clothed. "Hi!"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Pretty girl he hadn't met yet. "Hi," Dean said with his best welcoming smile.

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"You look almost as good with your shirt on," she remarked, sprawling on the couch, legs stretched out in front of her.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean stared at her blankly for a moment, trying to remember if he'd been shirtless in public recently before realizing that it had to have been his double. "I'm Dean, not Alec," he said. "Though yeah I do."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Oh, right!" She belatedly remembered Peyton saying something about that. She started blushing. "Um, congratulations. I'm, uh, Molly. Carpenter."

Very suave.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Molly," Dean said. "Dean Winchester. I take it you've met Alec?"

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Briefly, at the picnic. It was kind of memorable, though." Not everyone talked her into taking her shirt off, after all. "Wait, you're one of those demon-hunting brothers, right?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"That's me," Dean said smiling. "And yeah, Alec tends to make an impression."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"How do you get into that, I mean, as a hobby?" She tucked a leg under her and turned to face Dean.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It's less of a hobby and more of a calling," Dean said. "My Dad taught me. He got into it when my mom was killed by a demon."

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

Molly winced. She didn't always get along with her mother, but the idea of not having her around was inconceivable. "I'm sorry about your mom."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Dean said. "So for us demon hunting's kinda the family business."
