de-aged [For samefivealbums]

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.

"Sounds good. C'mon." Dean led Sam and the puppy down to River Street. They had to take a steep, long staircase down from the main street to the lower, cobble-stone street along the riverfront. Dean carried Ozzy down, since the pup was too nervous to take the steps down.

On the riverfront, they wandered down even more stores and kiosks of tourist junk and restaurants. There was also a second candy store (the one Sam refused to work at!), which they had to stop in, too.

He had a job working in the bookstore! He didn't need to work at a candy store just for Dean a discount... though Sam, right now, was more than willing to step inside and shop around.

He never pictured himself settling down in Savannah, Georgia of all places, but Sam had to admit... it really seemed nice here, like they had made a real home really.

Dean loved Savannah, really. It was such a quirky town. People were nuts in an entertaining way and their dog could go everywhere. The candy shop worker even tossed Ozzy a cookie when she caught sight of him.

When they were done shopping in the candy store, Dean led Sam back out onto the sidewalk, heading toward his bar and the paddle boats. Watching his brother soak up all the sights and look so happy gave him a little pang, though. It made him wish he'd settled down for Sam a lot sooner. He remembered how unhappy his little brother was at this age, but at the time, he hadn't been grown up enough himself to understand it. Now, he wished he'd done things differently. A lot differently.

Eventually during their walk, Sam looked up at Dean to flash a quick smile. Right now? He was having fun, seeing new things, and not having to hear talk about hunting or training. Still... really sucked to know this wouldn't last though, couldn't last.

He let out a soft sigh, straying a bit closer to Dean, looking down at Ozzy, who was still walking just a little ahead of him. "We've done a lot of walking today, you know." He looked up. "Think we should sit down somewhere for a bit and let Ozzy take a break?"

When Sam moved closer, Dean wrapped an arm around his shoulders again. He nodded at the question. "Yeah, we should probably give him a break. You wanna see where I work?"

He could probably take Sam to the restaurant without too much worry. Sam wasn't as known for visiting him and making public gestures of affection like Dean was at the bookstore.

Sam leaned in when Dean's arm came around him and he nodded. "Yeah, sure."

Seeing where Dean worked, at least, sounded nice even if he couldn't go into the bookstore... which didn't make sense, really. No one would recognize him like this, but he'd save any questioning for later.

Dean walked him down to the restaurant and up the wide stairs to the bar deck. He settled Sam and Ozzy at a table on the balcony over-lookng the river and then went to the bar to get himself a beer, Sam a soda, and a bottle of water for Ozzy. When asked, he told his co-worker behind the bar that his cousin was visiting. The family resemblance was obvious.

He brought the drinks and a menu back to the table, in case Sam decided he was hungry. Handed the menu and the soda to Sam, then sat down to pour out some water for Ozzy into a shallow pan borrowed from the bar.

Sam took the soda and looked over the menu when he was handed it to see if there was anything that looked good on there. "It's a nice place you work at, Dean."

Really cool looking at least. He took a sip of the soda and watched Ozzy drink his water for a few moments, just looking around.

"Thanks, Sammy. I like it. The burgers are awesome." He grinned. "We have a pretty good time here. My co-workers are pretty cool."

He liked the view of the river, too. It was cool to watch the boats and cargo ships sailing by.

"Of course they are. You wouldn't like it if the burgers weren't." He rolled his eyes, leaning an elbow on the table as he looked out.

"What else is good here? That isn't a burger?"

"You just don't know what's good, dude." Dean shook his head, but he shifted his chair around to peer over the menu with Sam. He pointed out a few things that adult Sam seemed to enjoy when he ate here. The food was actually pretty good all around, so anything he picked shouldn't be too bad.

"I know plenty, Dean, but all you ever want to eat is burgers." He wasn't exactly starving after that pizza earlier so eventually, he decided on an order of cheese fries to snack on while they sat there.

Besides, they still had candy to munch on later.

Dean doubled the cheese fries order and then sat back to watch the ships sailing. All in all, it had been a pretty good day so far, in spite of finding his brother shrunk. Hopefully, Sam's questions would stay as benign as they had been. He hated lying to his brother, but there were some things he couldn't answer for him.

"Anything you wanna do after this?"

"Maybe go home?" Felt weird to call that apartment 'home', really, but not in a bad way at all. "We could watch a movie or something."

Sam wasn't stupid, but he wasn't really at the age where he was thinking about Dean as anything but his big brother and it really didn't occur to him to consider the option, even if he was noticing a lot of weird things.

He just couldn't quite wrap his mind around them, that's all. The single bedroom (from what he'd seen anyway), the way that Dean wanted to avoid the bookstore Sam worked at...

Either way, right now? He just wanted to enjoy whatever this was. The peace and quiet, Dean right there with him. "Something with Bruce Lee in it."
