de-aged [For samefivealbums]

[onlytobenormal]

When Sam woke, it was in a bed that wasn't his own and without his dad or brother in sight... needless to say, there was a lot of freaking out. He fumbled out of bed and went looking through the apartment he was in... only to find a dog and not much else. Nothing that would tell him where he was anyway or where Dad or Dean was, when they'd be back.

He even got desperate enough to grab the phone and try their numbers... only to find them no longer in use which was just... even weirder. Now he was even more worried.

Dean will be forever grateful for that, too. There were things hidden in their bedroom that he was not about to explain to any kid Sam's age. Hell, there were kids ten years older than Sam that he didn't want to explain them to, either.

"If we walk straight down this street, we can go through a couple of little park type squares, then we'll pass your book store before we hit downtown."

"Cool." He strayed close to Dean, looking around the area they were walking curiously. "So... we've really settled in here, huh? Like, we have a real home and everything?"

That was about the best news Sam could hear at that age, really.

"Yeah, we're rockin' the normal life, Sammy. All we're missing is the white picket fence." Which Ozzy would love, but Dean would hate for the damn lawn mowing. No thanks. Parks were easier. "It took some adjusting, but we figured it out. You seem really happy with your school and job stuff you've got going on."

"It sounds really nice..." He can't help but be in a good mood either, knowing that one day... he'll actually get what he wants. A normal life, even if it's not until he's older. He even has Dean with him... and that's something he'd wanted too.

"It is. Better than I expected. Never figured I'd make it in the normal world." He led Sam down the sidewalk toward their favorite cafe and Sam's bookstore. Maybe wouldn't take him in, but it would be a nice sight to show him.

"Well, you are a weirdo, Dean. Bet that hasn't changed." He flashed a teasing look, but as soon as he saw the cafe and a book store, he was giving Dean's shirt a tug to get his attention.

"Is that where I work?"

Dean looked down at the tug and over to the store. He nodded, smiling a little. "Yep. That's it, dude. We'd better not go in, though. People will ask a lot of questions."

He offered Sam an apologetic smile. "I can show you the rest of the cool spots, though?"

[onlytobenormal]

There was a hint of disappointment that he wouldn't be able to go into the store, but the promise of seeing some other places perked him back up. He nodded. "Okay, Dean... where to first?"
