A Very Merry Christmas In The Bunker || Destiel ✔

Chapter 8

"Okay, we've got at least a week to get a tree and decorate the bunker before Dean and Cas get back." Sam says, looking around at everyone.

He's sitting in the bunker's library currently with Eileen, Jack, and Mary going over the game plan for getting the bunker all decorated for Christmas while Dean and Castiel are off on a hunt.

But depending on how easy the case is to take care of, they only have at least a week if not less to get everything set up before they return, so hopefully that'll be enough time to get everything done. Though they don't have a lot of decorations to put up, so it shouldn't take them too long. They weren't planning on going too overboard with the decorating.

However, they still need to get a tree. That's the one thing they need the most. Not a very big one though, just a simple tree will do. Maybe they can get a nice looking fake tree instead of a real one. That way they can reuse it again next year... if they're still alive by next Christmas....

Although a real tree would look much nicer, a fake one is just as good and cheaper. It's not like they really have the money for a real one anyway.

"Mom, you and Jack can start decorating, and Eileen and I can go out and get a tree." Sam says.

Mary nods. "Anywhere specific you want us to decorate, or just everywhere?'

"Well we don't have very many decorations to begin with as I don't want to go too overboard, so maybe just the library." Sam says. "And maybe just anywhere else where it'll look good."

While he and Eileen are out getting the tree, Sam thinks that they should maybe also buy a few more decorations. Decorations mainly for the tree, cause what they had bought last time are likely going to all be used for decorating in the library and anywhere else around the bunker they find places for them that'll look good.

"This sounds like it'll be a lot of fun." Jack says, smiling.

Jack has never done anything like this before, so he's excited to decorate and experience his first Christmas with Castiel and the Winchesters. Even if Dean will be in a bad mood throughout it all. He's not going to let Dean ruin it for him.

Sam nods, glad that everyone is informed on what to do. Mom and Jack are to start decorating the library, while he and Eileen go out to get a tree and a few more decorations specifically for the tree.

"Alright." He says, standing up. "Let's get to it then."

"Dean, you're making a mess." Castiel says, watching as Dean eats a large burger, sauce squirting out from between the bun onto the table, and sauce and mayo dripping down his chin.

They had decided to stop off at some diner to get something to eat before checking into a motel. And of course, Dean just had to get one of the diner's biggest burgers.

Dean looks down at the table, before shrugging and going right back to eating. Which causes Castiel to sigh as he picks at the fries in front of him that Dean managed to talk him into buying so it doesn't look strange that he's not eating anything.

He's grown used to Dean's messy eating, but they're in a public place, he should at least try to not eat so messily.

"So what's the plan for tomorrow?" Castiel asks. "We going to talk with the families of the victims, or going straight to the morgue?"

"Morgue first, then talk with the victim's families." Dean says around a mouthful of burger. "But if it's just a couple of vamps, then this case will be a piece of cake, and we can get back home in no time." He says. "But I swear to god if Sam's put up any decorations while we're gone..."

He shakes his head. He's not sure what he'll do if Sam's doing exactly that while they're gone, but he'll do something. Having the bunker all decorated is something that he does not want happening.

Although he's not entirely sure why he doesn't want it all decorated for Christmas.... Possibly cause of the mess maybe? He doesn't know. All he knows is that he just doesn't want any decorations up.

Or... maybe he'll be able to tolerate it if it's nothing too overboard if Sam insists they need to decorate.... But he's not going to admit that just yet. Not even to Castiel.

"Dean." Castiel sighs. "Even if he does put up decorations, I don't think he's going to put up a lot." He says. "If anything, I think he only plans on decorating the library anyway."

Dean just huffs in reply, continuing to eat his burger and stealing a few fries from the bowl in front of Castiel - not that Castiel minds, he doesn't need to eat.

Sitting back in the chair, Castiel waits for Dean to finish eating so they can leave and find a motel for the next few days while they take care of this case.

Thankfully, it doesn't take too much longer for Dean to finish off both his burger and the fries Castiel barely touched, before they're off to find a motel. But first, Dean insists they stop off at the store to get pie and a six pack of beer before checking into a motel....
