            To be honest, Dean had forgotten about the clowns. He really had, and it was almost disappointing that he hadn’t thought about his little brother’s biggest fear at all during the past months. In his defense, it had been a few years since he and Sam had spent so long together, and it had been even longer since he had first discovered Sam’s clown fear. Back then, he had gone overboard, torturing Sam endlessly until the kid learned how to fight back. After that had gotten nasty and, as usual, Dad had to get involved. Dad, who had made them clean the outside of his truck with a toothbrush.

 

            Now, though, there was no Dad. And while that was a thought Dean was not going to dwell on, he instead set his mind on another all too favorite topic.

 

            At first it was clown socks mixed in with their clothes when it was Sam’s turn to do laundry. There hadn’t been much reaction from that except for a mild, “Very funny, Dean,” snort as they had passed each other outside later that day. After the socks, it was a clown bobble head stuck to the dashboard of one of Bobby’s clanking minivans.

 

            “What is that?” Sam asked disgustedly.

 

            “A new friend. You like him?”

 

            “Get it out of here.”

 

            “Now, Sammy, look how happy he is to see—” And before Dean could finish with his sentence, Sam tossed the bobble head out the window and said nothing for the rest of the ride. He crossed his arms and glowered like a stubborn toddler who had just been told it was bathtime.

 

            Then there was the night Sam awoke at two in the morning to circus music and clowns above his head. He tumbled onto the floor, ending up in a mess of twisted bed sheets and falling pillows, as Dean burst out into maniacal laughter. On the ceiling, a child’s musical mobile twirled aimlessly. “Asshole,” Sam grumbled and crawled back in bed, pulling the covers over his head and leaving his toes pointing out at the end of the mattress.

 

            Finally, one morning while Sam was sitting at the kitchen table and tying his shoes, Dean entered the room with a white grocery bag dangling from his wrist. “I got you something,” he said with a shit-eating grin, and Sam rolled his eyes.

 

            “Grow up, Dean.”

 

            “Aw, c’mon, nothing wrong with a little fun, right? Besides, I got ‘cha something.” He crossed the room and pulled a clear plastic container from the grocery bag to reveal a discounted birthday cake. Across the top in brightly colored frosting, circus clowns danced happily. Dean opened the lid and waved it under Sam’s nose. “Want a piece? Smells good, don’t it?”

 

            Sam, standing up, took the cake from Dean. “Yeah,” Sam said, looking down at the tubby clowns, “it does.”

 

            Dean grinned, and he started to say something with a sarcastic tone to it. Just as he did so, he was met with a face full of cake. He cursed in surprise, and when Sam finally pulled the container away, Dean’s face was a smeared array of blue and yellow frosting with dots of reds and greens. With the edges of his thumbs, he wiped the gunk out of his eyes and glowered at Sam.

 

            Throwing his head back in laughter, Sam patted the side of Dean’s sugary cheek. As he made his way out of the bedroom, licking frosting off his fingers, he smirked. “Boy, that does smell good, doesn’t it, Dean? Smells real good.”

CAKE FACE :D

I'm hyper, I'm sorry but it was the logical reply

[alias_chick.livejournal.com]

Oh Dean! You TOTALLY set yourself up for that one!!

[taintedlust.livejournal.com]

Sigh. So them. Very good. Now I want cake.

LOL!!

[whispersins.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! Just kick ass funny!!

[allstar12.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I love smashing cake in people's faces XD

Tee hee! After last night’s angst, it’s nice to read something lighthearted. Of course Dean has to torment Sam about the clowns, but I especially love Sam having the last laugh.

Favorite lines:

LOL! I can totally picture this, and it amuses me greatly.

LOL! I love this image.

And I have the urge to lick the frosting off Dean’s face.

Yum.

LOL! Perfect!

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

bwahahaha! dean TOTALLY deserved that. (altho the teasing is funny.)

He should have seen that one coming. :P

Last nights episode was just so...heartwrenching. I was in shock when Dean started hitting the car, I mean it's his baby. They are so screwed up. Man, I just want to give them both hugs. I'm not sure I like the idea of a girl for Dean. Part of his Deanness is his non-commital nature. Don't want people leaving me. No attatchments other than necessary. I guess the producers need to bring in some T&A for the guys. Man...*grumbles*... :P

[papered.livejournal.com]

YAY SAMMY. :D

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

HEE.

I like how not subtle Dean is. The socks about cover it in his attempts to sneak the clowns in there. Which, very nice, but thereafter? Zomgz look Sammah, CLOWNS! Haha, so very Dean, that.

Also- cake shot. Of course. Silly Deeeeeen, just handing the ammo over like that. I think that's another point for Sammy, really.

Sam: 2
Dean: 0
Redairplane: FTW

It's so true! And of course the parents always believe the younger ones. Us older ones never get away with anything. *pouts*

Thank you. :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

It's totally the logical reply. Because you know there's no better image than Dean covered in cake. Ah! Who wants to write food fight fic? Anybody...? *shoos plot bunny away* Go bother somebody else, I've got enough to write.

Thank you. :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Of course! But, hey, at least Sam got a kick out of it.

Thank you. :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Cake does sound good, doesn't it? With frosting, of course. I like the frosting more so than the cake sometimes.

Thank you. :)

Btw, your icon is great! Hee.

Re: LOL!!

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Because nothing's better than playing with your food...with other people. Heh. I'm all up for food fight fics with the brothers. Think of the possibilites!

Thank you. :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Thanks! After seeing everybody either scared or sad, I thought this fic might be enjoyed a bit. And Sam definitely has to have the last line. Otherwise, he'd just seem way too tormented. ;)

And I have the urge to lick the frosting off Dean’s face.

Yum.

Amen to that. ;D

Thank you. :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Oh, he totally did. And you know Sam enjoyed every minute of it, too. ;)

Thank you. :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Of course he should have, but...it makes for much better fic if he didn't. ;)

When Dean started hitting the car, I think that was just a sign that he's just absolutely lost it. Part of me wants to believe that because Dad's gone, nothing matters anymore, not even the car, so who cares anymore? Another part of me thinks that maybe since Dad gave him the car, and he's angry at Dad leaving, he's taking his anger out on that.

And the whole girl for Dean thing? I'm not so sure how I feel on that. I've heard rumors that both of the boys will get a "romantic interest" by the end of the season. I like Dean's non-commital nature, I really do, and so far, all of the girls he's been with/flirted with, I really haven't liked. The only few female attachments for the boys that I've liked have been Jess, Sarah, and the one girl from Wendigo whose name I can't remember. And the girl from Dead in the Water wasn't bad either. It's like when the writers try to have this great love interest for Dean, it just doesn't work for me.

I want to like the girls because I like Dean and therefore want to be happy with/for him and all that happy stuff. But...it's just not him. He's a bachelor.

And that's enough rambling, yes? Yes.

Thank you for the feedback. :)

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Of course! :D

Thank you. :)

And you know he's totally going to wear the socks and when they're walking around, casually lift up his pantleg just to annoy the crap out of Sam.

Sam: "Dude, stop it!"
Dean: "But, you looked! Not my fault I had to scratch my leg!"

Gotta love the cake. Dean was just so proud of himself that he found a cake with clowns that he didn't stop to think, "Oh, wait. Cake. Smash. Face. Frosting!"

Silly Dean.



Lil' red airplane rules all.

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Too freaking hilarious, lol!!

*Snorts*

*Pets Sammy*

Fantastic, dear!

*HUGS*

Dean: This was my only clean pair!
Sam: The only way we'll get to the next job in time is to fly.
Dean: ::glower::
Sam: ::try me::

Heh.

Silly Dean. ::harts::

it will come as no surprise at all that indeed this is where i also went "zomgz wincest time." but i didn't think it necessary, at all, for i don't need the wincest to be happah reader. howevs. frosting pre-shower then frosting cleaning with red airplane soap on a rope could be good. hee.

Lil' red airplane can't be beat.

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Sorry about the late feedback, but thank you very much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. :)

[nativestar.livejournal.com]

Such a welcome break from all the angst! Thanks for sharing.

And while that was a thought Dean was not going to dwell on, he instead set his mind on another all too favorite topic.
This line really stuck out to be because I could see Dean focusing all his energy into teasing Sam just to avoid thinking about certain topics and proving that he is ok when he is anything but.

I'm doing a ELaC rec on spn_epific and I'd like to include this there.

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the break from the angst as well. I remember being so suffocated by the angst after that episode that I just needed something that wasn't angsty.

Oh, yes, you're more than welcome to include this over at spn_epific. Thank you very much for reading! :)

[wolfish-willow.livejournal.com]

Yay for Sam! Dean totally deserved that, preying on poor Sam's completely rational fear of clowns. Cake in the face is awesome.

[pixel-0.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm happy you enjoyed it! :) Thank you for reading!
