A Very Merry Christmas In The Bunker || Destiel ✔

Chapter 9

"Mary, how does this look?" Jack asks, stepping away from the bookshelf he was just stringing Christmas lights up on.

He thinks it looks okay, and he thinks he's done it right. But he'd like to hear Mary's opinion of his work before he does anything else to it or starts decorating something else.

Mary momentarily stops what she's doing to take a look at Jack's work. "It looks good, Jack."

At Mary's words, Jack smiles. He's glad to hear that Mary thinks he did a good job. Although he thinks he could possibly do something else to make it look a bit better, but he'll figure it out later, as he moves onto decorating a different part of the library.

He chooses to drape red and green tinsel across the backs of the chairs and around the edges of the tables, but after examining over it, he takes them off to put elsewhere. While it does look alright, having tinsel on the back of the chairs and around the edges of the table will likely make a mess and not be the most comfortable thing to have there while someone is sitting and working at the table.

And there's no doubt that Dean will for sure complain about that placement of the tinsel.

So instead he hangs it on the wall and drapes some across the few small potted trees and plants they have. Which seems like a better placement, and looks a bit better.

"Hopefully Sam and Eileen will be back with the tree soon." Mary says, while she sets up little Christmas themed figurines on top of shelves and in the center of the tables. "We're starting to run out of decorations.

As Jack looks through the bags the decorations were in, he finds that Mary is right. There's not many left in any of the bags. But it's likely that Sam and Eileen will buy more decorations while they're out getting the tree, because what they have already is certainly not enough.

"I'm sure they'll get more." He says. "After all, we'll need more if we're supposed to decorate the tree too."

Mary nods. "Alright." She says, knowing that Jack's likely right that Sam and Eileen will get more decorations. "Let's get this all finished, and then I'll make us some coffee."

"Sam, I like this one." Eileen says, walking towards the display of Christmas trees towards a medium sized dark green tree in particular. She turns to Sam, who's right behind her pushing a trolley full of decorations, snacks, and other items they've run out of in the bunker. "What do you think?"

Sam moves closer to get a better look at the tree. It's fake of course, but it looks almost exactly like a real pine tree. And it's a decent size too, not too big and not too small.

"I think so too." Sam nods, signing to Eileen that he agrees with her and they'll get this tree.

He searches through the boxes of dismantled trees for the one they'll get, setting the box in the trolley once he's found it.

"I think this'll do." He says, looking up at Eileen. "There anything we're forgetting?"

He's pretty sure they haven't forgotten anything, considering there wasn't a lot that they needed to buy. All they needed to get was a tree and some more decorations along with a bit more food and drink that they've ran out of (even though Dean and Castiel had gone to the store to stock up on a few things a couple days ago).

Eileen shrugs, looking through the trolley. "I think we've got everything."

Sam nods. If this is all they need, then they can go pay for everything then head home. "In that case let;s go pay for these then head home." He says. "Mom and Jack will have likely finished decorating by now."

With that, they're making their way to the checkouts to pay for everything, and then they're on their way back home to the bunker.

Jack and Mary have finished decorating by the time they get back and are seated at the table in the kitchen. The pair two of them both drinking a mug of hot coffee.

"We got the tree and some more decorations." Sam says, as he and Eileen set down a couple bags of food and drink on the bench.

"Do you want to set it up now or a bit later?" Mary asks, watching as Sam packs away the food and drink into the fridge and cupboards.

Sam shrugs. "We could put it up now, or wait until later." He says. He's not too fussed on when they'll put the tree up. "We could get something to eat first I guess."

Getting something to eat before putting the tree up might be best he thinks. He's not eaten all day (he's not sure about the others though), and he thinks that getting something to eat first sounds like it might be a better way to go.

"Getting something to eat first sounds like a good idea." Mary says. "We can always put the tree up tomorrow."

They'll likely be able to wait until tomorrow to put the tree up. Dean and Castiel will still be busy taking care if the vampire case, so they'll be able to put the tree up and decorate it before they get home.

And Sam has elected to ignore the fact that Dean will be pissed once they get back and find the library decorated for Christmas. That's not something he needs to worry about just yet. He'll worry about that later once Dean and Castiel return from their hunt.

"Alright." He says. "What do you have in mind?"

"I could go out and get pizza?" Mary suggests.

Sam nods, liking the sound of pizza. "Alright. That sounds good."

Pizza now, then put up the tree either later or tomorrow. Sounds like a good idea.

Mary nods, finishing up her coffee, before she's getting up and turning to face Jack. "You want to come, Jack?"

Jack nods, glad of the chance to leave the bunker. Even if it is to go out to get pizza with Mary. But he likes spending time with Mary. She's the closest thing he has to a mother.

"Sure." He says as he finishes his coffee and gets up.

"Alright, we'll be back soon." Mary says, before she and Jack are off to get pizza, leaving Sam and Eileen alone in the bunker.
