Sam usually considered himself to be a pretty respectful sort of guy. Between him and Dean, he always thought of himself as the good brother verses the bad brother. But, when said good brother has just found out that bad brother—hunter of all things evil and slayer of all women’s hearts—is actually afraid of something? Well, good brother just can’t sit back and do nothing. There are pranks to do.

 

Just because, y’know, good brothers don’t have to be good all the time.

 

So, maybe the first couple times Sam hung an airplane from the rearview mirror in the Impala were mildly amusing, even though Dean threatened to beat him halfway across the country and back. And when Sam bought a piece of soap shaped like a big red airplane, that was pretty funny too, but mostly because Dean couldn’t run out of the shower to get him, since Sam had stashed all the available towels outside the bathroom. But, when Sam made a comment about some more traveling via air, Dean looked up from the magazine he was reading and said, “That’s it. You just wait,” and Sam knew he was in for it.

 

Dean was quiet—passive, really—for the next few days until one morning when Sam was taking his shower. Dean opened the bathroom door a crack and rapped his knuckles on the inside. He barely got the words, “Hey Sam…” out of his mouth when Sam screamed and ripped the shower curtain aside.

 

“You did this!” he yelled, pointing to his head where thick clumps of his hair had fallen out to reveal the skin underneath. “You—! My hair!”

 

Dean fought back the urge to smirk and instead produced the bottle of Nair from behind his back. He shook it in front of Sam’s bewildered face. “Payback’s a bitch, Sammy. Payback’s a bitch.”

Hee!

(I particularly like the red soap airplane; I envision it as soap-on-a-rope.)

That's what I wanted it to be, but I didn't think very many people would get it. But, that's what I always saw it as, too. It's like you read my mind. Scary stuff that. Hee. ;)

Scary -- or -- just as expected. ;D

Ha! I just watched that episode with the pranks in it. I know I'm far behind but I'm watching it with a friend and we don't get together all that often. Staying spoiler free is hard though.

Anyway, very cute. At first with the fear I thought it might be angsty but I enjoyed the humor. :)

Oh my, I could imagine staying spoiler free is definitely hard! Good luck! And I loved Hell House; it was such a fun episode (besides the obvious drooling over Sam's towel scene, too. Heh.)

I almost went angsty on it, but so many of these fics have been angsty. Even I need a break now and then. A bit of humor never hurts. :)

ADORABLE. Oh, Dean. Oh, Sammy. *loves*

Thank you! :D

hahahahaaaa, ahhhhh those silly BOYS!!! this reminds me of "hell house"! :))

Definitely has Hell House vibes...probably because I stole the Nair idea from that episode. Figured hey, Dean's afraid of airplanes, what could Sam be afraid of? Losing his hair? Hee. :D

the return of the nair! heee. poor dean, letting his weakness show and opening himself up to the brotherly pranking.... very cute. ^_^

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

I just had to add some pranking to Dean's fear. I'm still surprised at how indifferent Sam was to it when Dean mentioned it in Phantom Traveler. Besides pranks are so much fun, too. Hee. :D Thank you for the feedback!

*snickers* Prank wars are always amusing, aren't they? And this one was definitely fun to read.

Favorite lines:

LOL! Just love that last line.

Thanks for a fun read. :)

Prank wars are great. I hope they give us another fun episode like Hell House this season! It was just so much fun to watch those two go at it. Hee.

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. :D
