Hey! You guys need to stop trying to kill my friends.

[onteamdyson]

Who: Dean Winchester and Kenzi
What: GETTIN' DRUNK! And re-bonding.
When: Day 55, evening
Where: The bar
Warnings: Strong language and alcohol consumption. Probably also stupidity.


"I've got a theory, dude, just hear me out. What if the science guys are secretly keeping this bar barely stocked at all times because we're more hilarious when get get shitfaced? Or... what if they drugged all the booze or we're drinking nanobots or something?" Kenzi turns away from Dean and stares at the shot glass in front of her suspiciously before shrugging it and tossing it back in one fluid motion. She winces as it goes down That shit burns!

It's kind of a miracle that there's any booze left in this bar, even if it's just the cheap shit. Anything will do right now and she's thankful for it despite the headache she knows she'll have in the morning. Alcohol is fucking soothing. Alcohol means not having to think about all the shitty things going on because you're too busy trying to walk without falling on your face and see straight without the room spinning like a damn record. It means she doesn't have to dwell on the fact that both Kobra and Party are currently MIA and the guy sitting next to her has no idea who she is beyond 'crazy chick that jumped me for no reason and somehow knows my name.'

"Nanobots are only cool if they're in someone else or you get super powers or something."

It's kind of the last thing he was expecting, and there's not really any reason for it to bring as much relief as it does? Like, he barely knows her, no matter what their past was, but he thinks she's pretty cool. Funny, maybe kind of annoying in her energeticness but that's just because Dean's so not, and she's pretty great when she's drunk, even when she's petting his face and making him feel kind of weird.

And then she goes and says that and Dean doesn't know what to do with it or how to process it. People don't feel that way about him so easily, and especially not with him not even remembering part of their time together. Though he's about to be kind of a jerk, he totally can't hide where his expression softens, and that sad face turns itself up to eleven before he gets a handle on it.

Reaching up, he takes her arm by the wrist and pulls her hand away from him, and he raises the eyebrow of doom.

"The drunker you get, the more cool points you lose," he says gruffly, but he can't fight the smile at the end when he lets go of her hand and then leans back.

"You sure you want to be friends with me again? It's not like I'm a prize. S'a whole town full of people out there."

No way! She can't lose points! Not that points even matter without Party. But he'll be back ... he totally has to come back. Maybe she can keep her hands to herself and stop with the shots for the sake of points and cash them all in when Party gets back. Dean would totes vouch for her, she just knows it!

"I am sure as shit. Whole town doesn't get it. You get it. You're just like... my kinda people, you know? You'd understand stuff if I told you... but not yet. Too soon." Kenzi smirks and keeps her hands folded in her lap, "I like a challenge, dude! Befriending anyone else is too easy."

He's not sure how to deal with her being all... friendly -- not like he's rejecting it. It's not exactly possible for him to reject offers of friendship like this anymore. See: Garth, and all the times he let Garth hug him, and especially the twenty seconds he let himself like it. No, the real issue is that she's just throwing it all at him so fast that he's trying to keep up, which wouldn't be a problem if he weren't still so shocked and maybe touched (not on the face, but in the emotional way) that she... cares so much. Or at all.

"Too soon?" he says, scoffing and brushing it off because that's how he has to approach this. "What, are you going to tell me megaporn closed? Because I know that one already."

RIP.
