Another Night, Another Bottle
Sam Winchester knows, deep down, that he's better than this, better than letting himself drown in self-pity and a cheap bottle of whiskey, but he doesn't care right now. He doesn't care that his brother, Dean, would want him to find a way to move on with his life and get out from under the cloud hanging over him, but Sam doesn't care about that, either.

Dean is dead, and much of Sam's purpose in life went with him. Dean was the one who'd first gotten Sam into hunting, into this life of moving from place to place and helping where they could. He'd been happy in law school, leaving this all behind, before Dean came asking for his help. Every time Sam needed his brother, Dean was there to help, there to encourage him.

But when Dean needed him, Sam couldn't come through for his brother.

He takes another drink, letting the alcohol burn as it runs down his throat. The drinking dulls the pain somewhat, keeping his guilt from eating him alive completely...

...at least, until the whiskey runs out again.

	"Don't tell me you count calories? I thought you demon-types had insurance against that sort of thing?" Sam asks, looking over Ruby's new body. It seemed to have all sorts of surprises hidden in it... Focus, Sam. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You have to ask, considering what we just did?" Sam asks,a small smirk coming to his face. Considering what he'd like to do /again/.

"Unsalted fries and pizza. Dean would go for something like that." Sam says, quietly.

His brother ate the worst, most fattening things, though he was healthy as a horse. They used to have arguments about it. Dean wasn't big on health food, but Sam was. Right now, though, a pizza sounded good, if only because it reminded him of his brother.

	"Maybe I just wanted to hear you say something again," Ruby said, smirking at him. "We can eat healthy if you want," Ruby said, noticing his change in mannerisms. "We don't need something battered in grease and fat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, pizza and fries is good. I'm fine with it." Sam says, reaching around to wash Ruby's stomach. "Life is short. Can't spend it worrying about dying, right?" he asks. Yeah, he was going to need a drink after this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She stepped a little closer to him. "No you can't," she said. "Sometimes there's worse things to worry about than death." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes," she said. "I don't know what happens when demons die. Obviously heaven's not in the picture for me... but I don't know if I'd just go back to hell, as I haven't run into any of the demons I've killed. Maybe I'll just cease to exist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And they spend a bit more time in the shower than they meant to, as Sam tells himself that /this/ is the last time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When they were done, Ruby stepped out of the shower, wrapping herself in a towel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wayward_son 2011-05-15 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	Sam gets out as well, wrapping himself in a towel and drying off, before heading back into the main area of the room. He finds some of his clothes that are still clean, a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt, and puts them on, along with socks and boots. "I'll get the food and come back...and then, I guess we'll figure out what needs to happen next." Sam says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You leave me, I'll find you," Ruby said. "Don't think because we had some great sex that I'll let you go easy." She smirked a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sam returns the smirk as he walks out the door. "If I leave, how will you get more of it?" he says, the door closes behind him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A little while later, Sam returns with a large pizza and a huge order of french fries with water and soda for the two of them. "Food is here!" Sam calls out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
