Datey times of the awkward date [Semi-open, see OOC note]

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

Nervous? Why should he be nervous? They talked before (kind of), they even married (though only for a mission mostly), and slept together( weirdest night EVER). Everything should be great. Full of song and dance... wait no, that's bad because that way leads to people burning up and he already apologized a million times for that demon.

Right, so it's sort of a date. Kind of. Maybe. Well it's just the two of them walking around and talking, it's harder to do the traditional dinner and a movie on the ship. There's not a Bronze-like place to hang out or a coffee place for coffee. Sooo ok, maybe this isn't a great idea, but Sam seemed to like it. He definitely liked it, so it's good.

Good.

Now about the knocking on the door part. He should really do something about that.

(OOC: After Sam's thread, gawkers, popcorn eaters, and the like are welcome to be peanut gallery to comment or run into them.)

"Beats being a Chosen One I'd imagine. Sometimes it's better when you're not." He softly smiled, remembering what he said to Dawn on the subject.

Sam looked over at him, then nodded and settled again. "Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a lot better when you're not."

Xander gestured to the screen where Gandalf went after the Balrog and fell down from the precipice, "Ok, do I have to turn in my manly card if I admit I cried at this part?"

[chosenfamily]

"Yes. Yes, you do." But Sam grinned, laughing softly. "I'd read the books, knew it was coming...and it was still a gut wrench, though."

He hmmphed and then smiled back, "Yeah, I read the books. Kind of. Or really Willow would read chapters to Jesse and me when we were all younger. Will still cried even more at it." He could read, it's just never interested him as much, and Willow didn't mind reading.

"I didn't tend to have much to do in the back of the car but read. So I did a LOT of reading when I was a kid." Sam grinned. "And a lot of mailing library books back because I forgot I had them when we moved."

"Yeah, yeah I guess punch buggy blue loses its charm after the first hour."

Xander thought for a moment, "Pretty sure Willow read almost all the books in the library. Especially Giles heebie jeebie books in the library. Some of them were locked down."

"Dean punches harder." Or did back then, at least. "Not that we didn't have plenty of other things that we did. And usually got yelled at for."

He thought about it, and could see how the guy could. He had seen how close the two were.

"Yeah I already got the big brother protective speech from him. Must have felt good to outgrow him huh?" And he's seen some of the guy's temper, he could be scary.

[chosenfamily]

Sam laughed at that. "Not that Dean ever lets me get a big head about it. Or forgets to tell me that he could kick my ass." And there were times when that was comforting. "But yeah, it was pretty good for a bit there. Especially when I got that first inch on him."

Xander just chuckled at that as he listened. He glanced up toward the screen, not even realizing his thumb was tracing tiny lines over Sam's hand.

Sam noticed. He just didn't stop Xander, either. Didn't want to. It was really nice and a much better way to spend the film.

[thexanwhosees.livejournal.com]

It was nice, very nice once Xander noticed as well. And noticed the fact that Sam noticed and seemed ok with it. His good eye glanced toward him as he settled in closer to watch more.

It was a long movie. A really long movie. Which gave them plenty of time to just sit there quietly. It was nice. A lot nicer than he'd expected. Especially since he hadn't done anything like this since before he'd lost Jess.
