Where Security means babysitting your jailed bro.

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

It was pretty late on the ship, and Dean had crashed out in a chair near the brig that was holding his brother. Any advice to go find a real bed was ignored because he's the big brother and he knows better. Also while Sam was stuck here with Schmuz still in his head, he just wanted to keep a close eye. Make sure there were no problems. The puppy Bobby was currently curled up near the bars of Sam's cell, also asleep.

Sometimes Dean twitched and whimpered a little in his sleep as some of his dreams were less than restful.

Dean was amused anyway.

"Oh you know I'm good, baby."

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Of course he was. Kaylee just stuck her tongue out at him and started walking.

"You comin', or am I gonna have to start by myself?"

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

"Not coming yet. I'll walk with you though." He strolled alongside her.

Yeah he's being a bit of an asshole right now.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Have a slug to the arm, Dean.

"Yeah yeah. I can always stay here, if you like?"

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

"Hey! Wait, no, no, aw come on. I'll be good, I'll be good."

"I dunno, you're right, that chair does look mighty comfortable..."

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

"No it doesn't. It sucks."

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

"You sure? I think I might just be able to make myself nice 'n cozy on it."

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

"Very sure, bed's a lot more comfortable for you, Sunshine. Don't need you waking up all sore."

Dean's very much as a do as I say not as I do kind of guy.

Kaylee glanced up at Dean, with one of those I-Told-You-So looks on her face.

"I got my point made, then? Just wanna be sure." And she wouldn't move until he agreed, either.

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

Dammit, she's so crafty! Crafty woman!

"Yeah, yeah you got me. I get it."

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Grinning, Kaylee laced her fingers through Dean's, and started pulling him down the hall.

"Long as you understand~"

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

He gave her hand a squeeze and a small grin as they walked along, "Yeah I do." He then yawned but tried to cover it up.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Oh, she caught it alright, and offered up a small smile. "C'mon, let's get you to bed."

It wasn't much further to the house once they got to the city level, if still a good stretch of leg inward. It had been much too quiet now with Sam imprisoned and Cas and Taj missing. He hoped it was just due to GLADOS, but he wasn't sure. And Cas had disappeared to the pods before.

Still it was a nice 4 bedroom house in the city, if a fixer upper. Clearly a work in progress since the stairs and much of the house looked worn. But servicable, and really nicer than some of the dumps he and Sam used to stay in with their old man growing up.

"Been too quiet around here." It was another reason he didn't mind sleeping in the chair by the brig. It was easier to sleep when he could hear Sam's steady snores nearby.

"You can always stop by 'n sleep in Serenity, y'know. She's plenty good at makin' a body feel welcome and not so alone." Kaylee knew that well. With no crew around except herself, she spent plenty of time on the ship alone.

She gave Dean's hand a squeeze, and pulled him inside.

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

Dean yawned again, but grinned back. "The Impala's kind of like that too. She's always been home for us." But with his brother behind bars, it was hard to even sleep in her backseat.

"Probably take you up on that if it's ok."

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

"Seein' as it's just me 'n her at this point, the company'd be appreciated. When Sam gets out, he could even jump on too. If he wanted, anyhow."

She gave him a small tug, urging him to get to his bed a little faster. The sooner he got some sleep, the better.

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

"Thanks Sunshine, I'll give him the heads up." It was one thing when they had people in here. If Cas returned, that'll change. Same if Bobby woke up.

He stumbled slightly on the steps up to the master bedroom as he followed her along. There were two beds there, and he flopped onto the one closer to the door. Old habits. Dean then grinned, trying to tug her to the bed.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

"And I'll make sure to follow up on it, so you both know I mean it."

She holds back for only a second before flopping lazily onto the bed next to him, and cuddling up close to his chest. "Better already."

[notadamnangel.livejournal.com]

"Mmm-hmm" He shifted an arm around her, and kissed the top of her head contently. Dean yawned again, and his head was already drooping with need for sleep though.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

She had expected just as much, and she wasn't about to do anything that might ruin his heading for sleep. A hand ran over his forehead, but other than that she tried to keep settled. It would be easier for him to sleep if she wasn't playing the distraction.

He was so tired that he just snuggled in more as he drifted off to sleep. At least his dreams were more pleasant this time. There was a brief hum of Warrant's Cherry Pie as he slept in fact and a small grin on his face.

Five and a half? More like it's going to be ten at least for him.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Kaylee was even better with the idea of ten than five, but she wasn't exactly going to get her hopes up until it happened. It wasn't a long wait before he fell asleep, though she waited a few extra minutes to make sure he was there before she carefully pulled away, kissed his forehead, and headed back toward Sam.
