Chapter Six - Phantom Traveler
"Do you salt and burn the plane now?"
I tip-toed across the room, careful to not wake the Whore. He lay asleep on his stomach, arms curled as his hands rested under his pillow. He wore nothing but a t-shirt and boxers. I made my way between the two beds. Sam let me have the other one last night since he didn't sleep much anyway. I gently set my phone down on the nightstand. I turned, banging my knee against the nightstand.
I bit my lip to keep in a groan of pain.
Then, suddenly, I was falling forward, pinned to the bed on my stomach. "What the fuck?" I asked.
"Oh, Red, it's you." Dean blinked away dreariness, chest pressed against my back, body leaning over mine. One of his hands pinned both of my wrists above my head. "Thought someone broke in."
I blinked. "Are you fucking crazy?"
"I take it you two are having a good morning," Sam's voice made Dean look over his shoulder.
"Get off of me, you idiot." I scoffed.
Dean stood, knife in hand.
The Whore was going to stab me.
"Just to make sure it's clear, we were not fucking nor were we getting ready to fuck. I would not let him touch me with a ten foot pole," I said, brushing imaginary dirt from my clothes.
Dean sank back into his bed, voice still raspy and eyes still sleepy. His hair stuck up in a million different directions. "What time is it?"
"Uh, it's about five-forty-five," Sam answered.
"In the morning?"
"Mm-hm," I hummed, sitting down on my bed and crossing my legs.
"Where does the day go?" Dean muttered to himself. "Did you get any sleep last night?"
"Yeah, I grabbed a couple of hours," Sam lied.
"Liar. Because I was up at three and you were watching the George Foreman infomercial and Red was tossing and turning like she's a rotisserie chicken."
"Did you just compare me to a fat bird?" I asked.
"What can I say? It's riveting TV," Sam added.
"When was the last time you got a good night's sleep?" Dean asked.
"I dunno. A little while, I guess. Not a big deal."
"Yeah, it is," Dean corrected.
Sam chuckled. "Look, I appreciate your concern—"
"Oh, I'm not concerned about you. It's your job to keep my ass alive, so I need you sharp."
"Sam, let him and his ass die," I said.
