Chapter 4 - lunch time
[Dean]
It was around lunch time, and Dean was finished with his first two classes. Walking out of his second class Dean still had not finished drinking his coffee. It was pretty much cold by then, but he was still sipping on it, his mind on something completely else than the coffee.
He had tried very hard to block out his own thoughts, but he couldn't help thinking about the barista with the blue eyes. Not because he was ever planning on going back to the coffee shop, or anything like that, he just hadn't expected it. He had been surprised himself at the reaction the pretty boy had caused.
Not because he was shocked at feeling attracted to a guy, despite how much he tried to repress that fact he acknowledge that that was something that had happened before, and would likely keep happening. No matter how much Dean tried to hide that fact.
It was just the fact that he had never reacted like that just by being faced with an attractive guy. He usually managed to keep his cool, and only one time before had he become a stuttering, stumbling mess, because a guy had flirted with him at a party. Something, luckily, no one had noticed.
The barista had just looked at him in a way he hadn't been able to read, something about him had made Dean freeze, and he still tried to get over that fact, and hoping for god's sake that no one had noticed how he acted.
"Hey! Winchester!" He had been so lost with his thoughts that it took the person trying to reach him to be right beside him to finally get a response. He jerked his head to the side, meeting with a pair of brown eyes on a pretty face, framed with blonde hair. A face he knew very well.
"Jo, hi." He responded, watching her look at him with eyebrows raised, probably because it had taken him so long to respond. Jo Harvelle, was his sort of adopted step-sister or however he was supposed to explain it.
Her mother, Ellen, was married to his adoptive father, Bobby, and he was pretty sure there wasn't a good word for what that made her. She was liked a sister to him though, so he supposed it didn't really matter with the exact title.
"You really are tired, are you Dean?" She grinned, and only then did he notice the people she was with. It was three guys and one girl, all four people that usually hung around with Dean's sort of gang. They were all younger than him, but people he would easily call friends.
"Yeah, I didn't sleep very well." Dean shrugged, not intending to discuss the details around it. It didn't seem like Jo intended to either, because she just nodded and stood, which made Dean realise he had sat down, somehow he had done that without even noticing it.
"Well, we're going to get lunch. Wanna come?" One of the guys asked, his name was Matt, and Dean had taken notice of his seeming interest towards Jo, not that he dared touch her if Dean was nearby. They all knew he was pretty much her older brother, and they also knew not to mess with the Winchesters, either of them.
"Yeah, sure." Dean tugged on his bag to make sure it was in place, and stood up as well, walking beside Jo as the group began moving through campus to the place nearby where most people from the college would get their lunch as well.
"So, how's it being back?" Jo asked, referring to the fact that they were both back from summer holiday for another year. Dean shrugged, not really knowing how to respond to such a casual question.
"Pretty much the same as before, I guess." Dean grinned, thinking he knew exactly what his year was going to be like. Parties, drinking, trying his best to keep up his relationship with Lisa, hanging out with Sam and with Jo and Charlie, trying to befriend Dorothy to be able to get a ride on her awesome bike. That and studying, studying and studying was what he intended to be doing this year, so, not such a big difference really.
"Well I think it's nice having an everyday routine again, to be honest." Jo gave a slight chuckle, and Dean smiled. Both relating and not relating at the same time. He did like having some kind of schedule, he also just wished he could sleep to 2 pm again.
They arrived at the place they had decided to eat, and found a booth to sit in, fitting them all quite well. The group begun ordering food, and had just gotten it to their table when the door of the place swung open and someone Dean knew very well entered.
His brother Sam, having finished his first classes entered, a girl Dean also knew a fair amount at his side. Dean had noticed the two hanging out quite a lot, both before summer and now that they were back. Though he wasn't sure if they had seen each other during summer break, he couldn't help but wonder if they had something.
The two came over to their booth, and somehow managed to cram themselves in as well. Sam hopped in beside his brother, and Eileen, with her long brown hair down, scooted in on the opposite side, sitting across from Sam. Which was the most practical for her, considering she needed to be able to see him to easiest communicate.
Eileen was deaf, and though she usually managed quite well reading on people's lips, it was practical for her when people knew sign language. Sam, had taken a course in high school, and still knew some coming into college. So when Eileen asked if it was a possibility for her to have a translator to easier follow the professor in her classes, Sam, who was in most of them, had offered.
Dean gave her a slight wave and a smile, knowing it wasn't a point in speaking as a greeting to her. "So, you managed to stay awake, huh?" Dean's attention was pulled to Sam who was now talking to him.
Dean nodded. "Got a cup of coffee." He shrugged, lifting the cup of coffee, that was for some reason still in his hand. Sam raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly surprised to see that Dean had gone to the coffee shop at campus, and that he was drinking coffee at all.
"Didn't think you were much of a coffee drinker." Sam pointed out. "Maybe you'll want to come with Eileen and I to get coffee sometime then?" Sam offered, turning his attention to Eileen for a second, just to check if she was following the conversation.
Dean shook his head in response. "I'm not a coffee drinker, but I needed something to keep me alive." He shrugged, not really planning on ever returning to the coffee shop, and especially not to the pretty blue eyed barista. He already had enough to deal with, and he was for sure not going to have to deal with that.
"Well, you're welcome to come with us." Eileen added to Sam's offer. Dean scrunched his face slightly together and shook his head. Not really feeling he ever would, especially because it meant getting up earlier and he had no intention of doing that if it was avoidable.
The coffee deal was dropped in the rest of the conversation, as Sam and Eileen ordered food, and Dean tried finishing his while being thrust into a discussion about which football team was the best, and how the college football team would do this year.

idk sports what
so this was pretty much to introduce the final characters and background I wanted to get in, well up until I introduce girl with glasses from chapter 2. but yeah, Bobby adopted the boys after their dad died, yes both Mary and John are dead, and then he married Ellen, so Jo is their sorta sister. Yes I decided on Eileen as Sam's love interest because that wasn't really explored in the show, so I thought that would be the most fun.
Just imagine they are all basically the same age, in their early twenties or whatever and live with me this is an AU I can do what I want
