PJs and Movies [Backdated to before Possession Plot]
This was very likely the most normal his life had been in the past four years. There was something sad about that, but he wasn't thinking about that right now.
Right now there was Bobby with his head resting on his thigh and a movie from his childhood playing on the TV and his head was completely his own. All good things, comfortable things, safe things.
It was relaxing, and that was all, the wag of Bobby's tail and the quiet voices from the TV. It was nice to do something that didn't need to mean anything.

Being able to smile was a luxury. A good one, one he was enjoying experiencing. Made everything else seem so much less important.
no subject
Kaylee nodded. "He should be able to, I'd think. Promised me he would next leave, at least, so if he don't we'll just have to go drag him out kickin' and screamin'."
no subject
Dean chuckled and reached down to pet the still sort of puppy aged dog, and stepped inside, noticing the sounds and voices.
"Let me guess, my party invite got lost in the mail?"
no subject
Hey, he could admit that. Really.
Then Bobby perked up. "Oh no," Sam muttered, just in time for Bobby's scramble off of his and Tom's laps. Which would have been fine, except for one stray paw that made Sam's eyes cross. He folded over, biting down on a whimper. That just wasn't manly, after all.
But DAMN, that hurt.
no subject
"Welcome home, Dean. We were just talking about you. You ok, Sam?"
no subject
There was a sympathetic grimace for both Sam and Tom's physical well-being, and the tiny, "Ah--" that escaped in reaction to poor Sam couldn't be helped. "Gorram dog's got good aim, don't he." Or the worst aim, one of the two.
"Impromptu party, Dean. Good luck findin' a place on the couch."
no subject
He tilted his head at wincing Sam, "What's with you?" A brief second before Bobby was jumping up on the couch eagerly.
"Heh, guess he's got as good aim as his namesake." He chuckled with a touch of sympathy, and patted Sam's shoulder.
Dean then shrugged and smirked at Kaylee, "You could sit on my lap."
no subject
Bobby grinned up at him, then jumped up to flop over Tom and Sam's laps again.
no subject
He blinked a bit at the odd turn of phrase, making a questioning noise. "Dog is too excited by people being in the house, you'd think no one was ever here or something." He grunted at the return of the dog's weight, ruffling his ears automatically. "I swear if you trampoline me one more time today, Bobby, I'm not doing anything more on your walks but letting you do your business."
no subject
She slid off the couch, allowing Dean time to sit and settle before she joined him. In the meantime, she smiled at Tom. "Gorram," she said, a little more clearly. "Like damn, little more powerful meanin' than that. Lot of people here use 'goddamn' instead?"
no subject
He also smirked toward Sam, "Dude, who wants giant floppy haired kids anyway?" Even if he wouldn't mind being an uncle to Sam's kids if it came to that.
no subject
He rolled his eyes and flipped Dean off instead. "You'd love them and you know it." Because family was sacred to them both.
no subject
"Oh. So it's a curse word." He tipped his head. "Seems like that's all I end up picking up." He lifted a finger, tapping it against his forehead. "I'm pretty sure of the standard galactic language all I know is curse words and 'open' and 'locked.'" He smiled faintly. "I know about a hundred dirty words that I could safely use without my mother knowing I was using them."
He looked down at the dog, then back at Sam, giving Bobby a soothing pat. "Everyone else seems to have shown up. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up without warning.
no subject
She let go of Dean quick enough to give him a small thwap on the side of his head. "I'd like to see 'em, Sam. Think they'd be cute as buttons, with that hair of yours. Think Dean'd make some pretty nice ones, too..."
no subject
He got really quiet when she mentioned the idea of his kids, and just mumbled, "Bet they'd be cute like their momma."
no subject
Huh. He hadn't realized it was quite THAT serious.
"Come on. You know the kids would be awesome. Momma's smile and Daddy's pout?" Just a little teasing to defuse things.
no subject
Tom smiled, eyes dancing with happiness, unable to help himself, fingers still buried in Bobby's fur. It felt warm and nice. Perfect, like a slice of pure and utter normalcy. Like family. This was what normal families did, wasn't it? He thought it might be. Was this how he and Jake should have acted? "And you'd all be great parents." Anyone who could put up with a broken teenager trying to put himself back together with nothing but scraps couldn't be anything but.
"But they'd all probably end up with Sam's hair. All those curls. Is that why you wear your hair short, Dean?" He grinned, unable to say anything really, his own hair was a hopeless mess of them.
no subject
She trotted in the door and made a beeline for the sounds buzzing through the house - familiar voices, that made her hold her tail high.
Of course, she noticed the dog as soon as she stepped through the doorway and froze, her fur standing up along her spine. She pulled her pre-loaded personal shield out of the catalog of spells in her mind and held it there, waiting for the activation word.
no subject
Right, back to Tom.
"More a shift, I think. A lot of it's a mix of English 'n Mandarin, which I'm glad Stacy takes care of for me sometimes." Kaylee had more than enough trouble trying to explain the little bits of Mandarin that occasionally got through the translators. Poor Jamie...
Oh, but there was a cat at the door now. Kaylee eyed Bobby warily, ready to reach forward and grab him if need be. No use in knocking Sam around more than once today, right?
no subject
Right, anyway. Bobby was getting up to bark at Rhiow, but Dean spoke up over the barking, "Hey Rhiow, it's ok, it's just Bobby, he's friendly."
no subject
Which, now that he thought about it, was probably one of the reasons why he was so interested. New scent plus having smelled it on Sam before probably made the pup curious, at least. He looked over at Rhiow, then pushed Bobby down off his lap. He kept hold of Bobby, though, following him over and keeping him back a few paces. "I think he only wants to meet you?" he said. "Though you probably know better than I do."
Rhiow said that everything spoke the Speech. So it was entirely possible she knew exactly what Bobby was saying.
no subject
He felt like someone should tell Bobby that even if he took it into his head that he was the sort of dog that chased cats, chasing that cat was very bad for his health.
He flinched automatically, expecting another swift introduction of Bobby's paws to his stomach.
He stayed quiet, watching Rhiow curiously over the back of the couch, completely distracted from the movie by now. They hadn't really met since their introduction, and that had been rushed at best, considering Shiva and bombs and the fact that there had been no way in hell Iniss was going to let go of control just so he could say hello.
no subject
"Houiff," Rhiow said, vaguely disgusted. Her fur still bristled, and she kept the spell loaded, but she trotted up to Bobby all the same, sharing scents with him. He smelled not quite as disgusting as Earth houiff, which was a comfort. "Behave yourself or I'm going to open your nose up." She flexed her claws to let him know he wasn't kidding, and jumped up onto the arm of the sofa. "I am of the People. Our species is felis catus, or the common housecat."
"I'm a dog!"
"Yes, I know that." Rhiow turned her attention away from the puppy - he was young, after all, she couldn't expect him to speak sense. "I'm sorry I haven't been around in some time, I've been monitoring the progress of the new railway going through Grand Central. I hope you're well."
Mentally, she added a quiet Hello to Schmuz. Never one to leave him out of the conversation.
no subject
"Love to teach you," she replied to Tom, obviously excited by the idea. "If we can get the translators to calm out for a bit I think it'd be shiny." It wouldn't be hard, she didn't think, and all they really needed at first were a few key phrases and words. The rest would come with time.
no subject
Dean pouted at Kaylee but settled against her, his hands now just at her hips to keep her steady as they sat there.
"You gonna watch a movie with us Rhiow? And we should have got snacks for this."
