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.

	"It was just a question, Ruby. Has anyone ever asked you about being a demon or do they just try to kill you once they know?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ruby's eyes briefly flashed black. "Most people just see a demon and go straight for the salt and holy water, Sam. It's very racist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you /do/ realize what's been written about demons over the centuries, right? You guys haven't done yourself a lot favors by living up to the worst that things that people say about you." Sam says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're not all that bad," Ruby said. "At least...you don't seem to think I am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't think you /are/, Ruby. I think you're only 'bad' because /you/ think you have to be." Sam says. "What if you could be human again? Really human? Would you?" Sam asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know, Sam." Ruby said, a little irritated. "This is a lot to just suddenly ask me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My mistake." Sam says, closing his book. "Didn't meant to piss you off. I'm going to go take a walk." He gets up and heads for the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sam..." Ruby got up from the table, taking his hand. "You didn't piss me off...just caught me a little off-guard." She smiled at him, leading him towards the bed. "C'mon...let's just forget about it, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sam sighs. He should get out of there, because he knows he's not thinking clearly when it comes to Ruby. He knows he's going to need his wits about him for whatever comes next. But he follows Ruby to the bed, because it's easier than being angry. "Sorry. You're right. We should just forget about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She pulled him down on the bed with her. "Yes...yes we should." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sam follows Ruby down to the bed in order to work on forgetting their previous discussion, deciding they'll have a different one instead. (Reply to this)(Parent)
