J,GOB, Early Saturday Morning

[likethegun]

Sam had promised to have breakfast with Dean after his ceremony with Karal was over, even if that meant eating way earlier than usual. When he saw Dean looking not at all rejected, he figured celebratory food was in order.

"I want to know everything," he said as they headed inside. "Don't you dare leave any of the good details out."

[Open for your bakery needs, but Sam and Dean are just here for themselves.]

"Dude, it's not like there was an orgy or anything," Dean said as he perused the menu board.

[likethegun]

Sam stopped in his tracks, and got a disturbed look on his face. "I really didn't need to think about you and Karal having sex. Thank you so much."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'm not his type," Dean blithely assured him.

[likethegun]

"That's very reassuring," Sam said dryly. "I take it the whole thing was a success, obviously."

Dean pulled the medal Karal had given him out from inside his shirt. Somehow it just felt right to wear it next to his skin. "Yep."

[likethegun]

"Oh wow," Sam said, reaching out to touch the medal before pulling his hand back a little. "Can I...?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean nodded, leaning forward a little so Sammy could get a better look without him taking it off. "It was all glowing and warm when I first got it."

[likethegun]

Sam leaned in as well, looking impressed. "You really got blessed, didn't you?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

'Blessed' seemed like a small word for what had happened. "Holy water gets blessed," he said. "I got accepted."

[likethegun]

"Okay, then you really got accepted," Sam said. "Didn't I tell you you had nothing to worry about?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but, no offense but hearing it from you and hearing it from a god are two different things."

[likethegun]

"I'm your brother. I should come pretty close after the god," Sam pointed out.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"You're my brother so you kinda have to think I'm awesome. Gods can be more discriminating."

[likethegun]

"Trust me, Dean, there are many, many times where I do not think you're awesome," Sam said. He ordered a muffin and a drink, and then glanced back at Dean. "Was it a long ceremony? I mean, were you out there for a while? It's kind of cold still."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It wasn't that long," Dean replied. "And there was a fire. Like at the Winter Solstice ceremony Karal had?"

[likethegun]

Sam laughed softly to himself. "Of course there was a fire."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"And I didn't really feel cold when it was happening anyway." He paused and then offered almost diffidently, "He was actually there. Like, not physically, but He was there."

[likethegun]

"Really?" Sam asked, sounding awestruck. "That's so awesome."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it really kinda was," Dean said with a shy smile. "I wasn't really expecting that."

[likethegun]

"You were expecting to get turned down. I think any kind of presence would have been a step up from that," Sam replied.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't expecting to get turned down," Dean protested. "Just wasn't convinced I wouldn't."

[likethegun]

"You should have been convinced," Sam said. He still thought Dean was crazy for not believing that. "Did you have to like, spill blood or anything?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Nah, nothing like that. Just had to answer some questions."

[likethegun]

"Like a test? From what you've been reading?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean shook his head. "Nah. He's a sun god not a better have done your homework god. No, it was more about why I wanted this. And if I was sure."

[likethegun]

"You seemed sure the last time we talked about it," Sam said. "I'm not surprised you got such a strong response, not with what I've seen Karal do."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, he's pretty awesome at this priest stuff," Dean agreed.

[likethegun]

"Does this mean you've taken the first step to becoming a priest too?" Sam said, unable to keep from grinning at that thought."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean snorted. "Hardly. I'm totally not the priestly type. Nah, I'll stick with being a hunter. Considering how He stepped in to help us with old Yellow Eyes, I'm pretty sure Vkandis approves of that profession too."

[likethegun]

"Yeah, I guess he does. Maybe I should pray to him to make my visions stop," Sam said, at least half teasing.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Dean said. "But -- I know you hate them Sammy and I'd totally take them from you if I could -- but they have saved my bacon more than once. And other people's too."

[likethegun]

"I know," Sam admitted. "We might not have even know the demon was coming if I didn't see it."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Y'see?" Dean said. "So yeah, they suck, but they're not all bad."

[likethegun]

"Yeah, I guess." Sam glanced at Dean and gave him a serious look. "So, are you happy about this?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Dean said honestly. "It's nothing I expected, but it feels right, y'know?"

[likethegun]

"Good," Sam said, breaking into a grin. "That's all I need to hear."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I think He likes me too," Dean said. "I mean, beyond the yay, new follower thing."

[likethegun]

"I'm shocked, really," Sam said sarcastically. "You know, considering how much you like fire and fighting for good and all."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"More than that, I think. I got this whole... feeling of amusement."
