August 4th

2: The Sleepover

​As they walked to Bobby's house Dean couldn't stop talking even though Bobby had told him otherwise. Sam sometimes chimed in but Dean usually cut him off to continue on what he was saying before he was interrupted and Jimmy didn't say a word he just wanted to listen to Dean's voice, he liked Dean's voice, but he did nod in agreement most of the time. Bobby got to listen to the boys the whole way home.
Bobby's house was old looking but stable and in need of a good cleaning. There was all the regular stuff a normal house would need but there was something a little different about the house inside, it had a lot of weird stuff like jars of unknown substances, tons of leather bound books with symbols on them, old and dangerous books in general. The outside was just cars and cars and cars and a garage. His property was once called Singer Auto and Bobby would help people with car problems. If you can't tell already Bobby's last name is Singer.
When they got home, which to twice as long as it normally would, Bobby sent the boys upstairs to get washed up for supper. Bobby thought that Dean would help Jimmy wash off the blood. The most damage was mostly some blood and a few bruises so after Dean and Jimmy washed the blood away they looked a lot better. After they got cleaned up Jimmy called his parents and told them what happened and where he was so they wouldn't be worried about him and they said it was fine and they were happy he was making friends. Then it was suppertime.
​Bobby had cooked eggs and bacon for everybody because that was the only thing he had enough for everybody and no one complained.
​"Uncle Bobby, how did you know when to come to the park when we needed help?" Dean said.
​"Sam-" Bobby said but was cut off.
"Wait, Sam? I told him to stay where he was so he wouldn't cause trouble or get hurt." Dean said while glaring at Sam who was avoiding all eye contact by looking down into his food as if he had never seen it before.
"Dean," Bobby said raising his voice "it's not his fault. He came in rushing in here alone practically in tears saying that his big brother was being killed by giants. So I grabbed the closest knife in one hand and Sam in the other arm and ran out the door. I ran the whole way to the park then you know the rest of the story."
Then there was a tense silence that lasted for the rest of supper and even when they were cleaning up until-
"Sorry for not listening to your instructions earlier, Dean. I was just so scared for you." Sam apologized while still not making eye contact.
"You know what little bro," Dean said with a smile spreading across his face and moving his brother's head up so he could make eye contact with him "I'm happy you went to get Uncle Bobby," Dean's smile fading "but I'm not that happy that you disobeyed me."
The boys went upstairs after Bobby went back to work and had dismissed them to their room. Dean was again talking a mile a minute while they were heading up the stairs. Jimmy didn't catch all he was saying but he got most of it. Something about that Sam and Dean shared a room and that they weren't allowed anywhere upstairs except their room and the bathroom which was across the hall but Jimmy wasn't entirely sure that's what he said. There was some other stuff Dean said but Jimmy didn't hear it at all because he was talking too fast.
Sure enough Sam and Dean shared a room and the bathroom was across the hall from the room. Their room wasn't too big or too small, had a bunk bed, clothes everywhere, posters coving most of the wall, and toys (mostly fake guns) and books practically covering everywhere else. The bathroom was a little on the small side but it had a shower, sink, toilet, and a cabinet under the sink. Nothing fancy but Jimmy liked the rooms they just seemed to fit.
"So we're not allowed anywhere upstairs except in here and the bathroom? Right?" Jimmy asked for clearance from Dean as they were walking into Sam and Dean's room so they could sit on their bed and relax.
"Yea and not in the basement. Sammy went down there once for some odd reason and he broke a jar and Bobby got pretty mad and Sam said that there was a really heavy looking door with some kind of symbols covering it. So that door is practically a legend because neither of us have actually got a good look at it." Dean said.
"No basement. Good to know. Your uncle seems scary enough with just that yelling that he did." Jimmy said.
"He can be sometimes." Dean said.
"What's today?" Sam asked. Dean and Jimmy almost forgot about Sam because he was on the top bunk.
"Tuesday, August 4th, why?" Dean said.
"I wanted to count how many more days until school starts. I'm so excited for my first day in kindergarten. What grade are you going into, Jimmy?" Sam asked with a calendar in his hands on the month of August.
"3rd grade. What about-" Jimmy was stopped midsentence because Dean gasped.
"Me too! Are you 9 years old too?" Dean practically shouted.
"The local school? And yes! My birthday is on September 27th!"
"Yes! My birthday is on September 25th!"
"Then I hope that we will be in the same classes." Jimmy said.
The boys were smiling for the rest of the night while talking about school. Sam fell asleep earlier than Jimmy and Dean but he tried to stay up as long as he could. Jimmy and Dean were up for a couple more hours then when they were about to fall asleep Dean Whisper shouted to Jimmy.
"I like you Jimmy Novak. We should hang out more before school." Dean said.
"I like you too Dean-"
"Winchester"
"Winchester and I think we should hang out. I'd like that a lot. You know what?"
"What?"
"I've never really had a real friend to hang out with. I usually just read and the people in the books become my friends and I'll always have them and I can always rely on them." Then there was a moment's pause.
"Well, there's a first time for everything."
Then it was silent and the boys were asleep just like that with smiles on their faces and happy thoughts in their minds of all the fun activities they could do with each other in the summer, during the school year, holiday breaks, and anything and everything else they could think of.
Jimmy and Dean were very tired but very excited for school. That's a first for Dean. He always hated everything about school but he was 100% positive that having Jimmy as a best friend would make his life easier and Jimmy already knew every second at school would be easier with Dean by his side.

In the morning the boys had cereal and around 10:30 Jimmy's parents came to get him. Dean was sad to see him go but he also knew that he would see him again. He didn't know when he would see him again but he could always call his house. The phone has the record of when Jimmy called his parents yesterday so he could just call them back. He was so excited for school now and couldn't wait to see his new friend again.
