Chapter Text
Dean watched as Sam shot him a disapproving look. “Just get in the car, already.”
“Why? Just tell me what’s going on,” Sam grumped as he complied with Dean’s demand. Once seated, he turned to Dean. “Where are we going?”
Without a word, Dean started the Impala and pulled out of the parking space, leaving the motel as a fading image in the rearview mirror. “You’ll just have to wait and see,” Dean stated, turning on the music and ending and further conversation.
Sam slumped down in his seat, shooting furtive glances at Dean as they drove to some mysterious destination. As they rounded a corner and pulled up to the gate, Sam sat up, hazel eyes wide, as Dean paid for their admission into the drive-in. “A drive-in?” Sam asked excitedly.
“Yeah, cool, right?” Dean asked with a smile, knowing how Sam had always wanted to experience what he considered to be normal, and he wanted that for Sam. As he pulled up to an empty spot and parked, he turned to Sam. “I figured since it’s summer and you’ve always wanted to go to a drive-in, a perfect summer night like tonight was the time to do it. We got plenty of snacks in the back, so settle in and enjoy.”
Sam shot Dean a dimpled smile. “Thanks for doing this,” he said as he grabbed the bags filled with snacks, offering a bag of popcorn to Dean.
Dean just chuckled and settled in to watch the movie, happy that he had put a smile on Sam’s face.
