A thank you for

purridot who prompted me with "Sam catches Dean reading a book he would never have expected."

Title: Mars Attacks
Words: 125
Rating: gen

"You've got to be kidding me."

Fuck. Dean never should have taken refuge from the rain in a bookstore. "What?" He sounded totally innocent, and the sleeve of his jacket was hiding the book's cover. Probably.

"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?" Sam could not sound more scathing if he tried. Bitch.

"I thought it was about aliens. You know. A space book?"

"Dean, you don't even like science-fiction."

"Whatever. You done? There's a burger out there somewhere with my name on it."

"Were you…" Sam sounded nervous. "Were you gonna call Cassie again?"

"What?" Dean laughed, and then cursed himself, because that might have been a good cover. Better than telling his brother he'd been looking for ways to make him happy.

OMG, so sweeeet! And hee! I read MAFM,WAFV when I was 15 and even I thought it was kinda dumb. I'll bet I could come up with better (and much more fun) ways that Dean can make Sam happy.

I read some excerpts from it in my sociolinguistics class at UCSC. Dean was so reading the part that recommends leaving notes for your love in the refrigerator or in their lunch box, and he was feeling sad because they have neither fridges or lunch boxes, and he wanted to leave his Sammy notes, and then he remembered that he's not a big girl's blouse, and he's not supposed to tell Sam he's in love with him anyway, so meh to the stupid book anyway. If he's gonna tell Sam, he should just be a man about it. :D

It's possible this drabble was bigger in my head than drabble size

OMG, I just loved Dean's attempt at saving face! Darned if those guys aren't the cutest things ever. And Dean calling Sam "bitch" *always* makes me smile. :-)

And the expanded explanation in the above comment is just as precious *pets Dean*

Thank you *so much* <3

Yay!!! i'm glad you liked. Because, seriously, thank YOU! Even though they were fairly small points in the grand scheme of things, they have made my essay better. *hopes for an A*

Dean is totally adorable :D *loves him*

Thank you, again, and you're welcome!

I'm glad to have helped in even a small way! Thing is, I don't like to mess with people's ideas when I look at writing, because they know what they want to say. And it's not like you need any help in that department! But I like looking at structure and grammar and that sort of thing :-)

Awwww!!! How schmoopy and sweet! :D
*hugs it*

I seem to have a hard-on for schmoopy-sweet this week. *cuddles boys*

Thank you for reading, glad you liked!

*grins*

Thanks, honey.

Ahh! <3 Dean for wanting to make Sam happy.

bless him. :)

thank you for reading and aahh-ing ♥

Ha ha, awesome!!

(Even though I cannot think of that book without seeing the scornful face of a former friend who insisted that MEN and WOMEN are exactly the same emotionally. But that's an anecdote, not a comment, so I'll leave it at that.)

thank you! *g*

and WTF? had this person ever spoken to a man and a woman? yes, men and women are both capable of the same range of emotions. But the way they communicate? and the way they experience them? and if you talk to any post hormone therapy transexual they will tell you that men and women experience emotion differently. *climbs down off soapbox*

*snuggles you*

*accepts snuggles with gratitude*

*joins you on the soapbox*

Oh dude... there was no grey area with this woman. She had some pretty dogmatic views. I was a constant source of disappointment to her, LOL!

Hell, you hang around animals enough and you notice the biological and behavioural difference between their sexes! And they sure don't have any political agendas to worry about! *g*

Awww, Dean! Sam, stop being such a whiny bitch and let Dean get on with his book buying and trying because cute doesn't even come close. *snuggles drabble*

OMG, ICON OF J2/SAM/DEAN JOY.

*breathes*

Sam doesn't need notes in his lunch box though. *brain goes to place of Sam's enormous lunch box, as displayed in those gun-totin' Impala-leanin' promo shots* He knows Dean loves him. Dean just doesn't know what to do with these confusing I'd like to pin my brother down and lick him all over thoughts he's been having lately. Silly boy thought John Gray could help. Bless his cotton socks. There's a trick he could use though. Do the laundry without being asked.

*has had waaaaay too much sugar this morning and feels high as a kite*

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! at Dean's book choice. And such a sweet little twist at the end, as to why. :-)

The abridged version was the most popular rental when I worked at an audio book rental place. I can totally see Dean sitting in a chair in the corner of a book store reading it and thinking the guy's totally on crack, but also kinda wondering, Hmmm, would that make Sammy happy? He's such a girl, after all... :D

thank you for reading! ♥

Awwwwwwww! *melt* That's adorableness itself, it is.

*pets the adorable boys*

*smishes you*

thank you! :D

I like this for all kinds of reasons, not for the least of which is that Dean thinks he can find a way to make Sam happy by looking in a book about relationships between men and *women*. Oh, Dean, don't ever change. *shakes head ruefully*

Great job!

Dean thinks he can find a way to make Sam happy by looking in a book about relationships between men and *women*.

I'm SO glad you commented on that, because it was one of the things that appealed to me about this whole thing. He's so stuck in this place where he's reduced the differences between him and Sam down to Sam's such a girl, that it's just silly. He can't bring himself to really examine what is going on, so he grasps at straws.

Thank you!

Heehee, I haven't read it, but it's a self-help relationship girly book, right? Dean's so sweet, reading it to help Sam. Awww, bless.

It's pretty awful. Mostly. It purports to explain how men should talk to women and how women should talk to men. And gives advice like that women respond well to having notes left for them in unexpected places like in a box of left-overs or between the pages of the book they're reading. Or to their men doing the laundry without being asked. This is the sort of thing I was thinking of that Dean might think about doing for Sammy. Though little does he know, Sam would respond quite well to being pulled close and kissed breathless :)

Hee! So adorable. And the last line is made of the awesome!!!

Thank you! :D

Now that's just perfect - funny, and with a very clever ending. I love a good drabble! ;)

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it :D I do love a good drabble too. So I am glad this one qualifies :D

[link] [parent] [reply]

Heee! That's awesome. I kinda want it to be elongated though - Dean trying out romantic gestures, but in a manly way, and Sam not noticing, or thinking he's cursed...

And yes, I totally meant to comment much earlier, but somehow I failed to. Sorry.

SHHH! I have homework and I'm trying to write a sequel to Down on your Luck. No more bunnies at the moment. I am not one of these people who can do many writing things at once. But that would be adorable and I might have to add it to the queue...

Thank you for commenting, hon. Now I know you rarely do, I feel honoured and extremely pleased that you comment on my stuff! :D

[link] [parent] [reply]

Well, of course I'll always comment on your stuff. You and Alex are pretty much the only people who always get a comment.

Oooh, yes, enqueue that plotbunny...I'm happy to wait...
