More than Magic

Once upon a time, there was a species of supernatural beings who liked to watch over the ones with deep desires in their hearts. If they were good, they would grant them wishes, and help them on the way to finding true love and happiness.

In the old days, they were so loved and revered that stories would be told of them. But the fairy godmothers, as they were known amongst those who held them dear, grew to be more and more presumptuous about the wishes of their wards. In short, they got cocky and more and more of the granted wishes backfired. It got so bad that people stopped loving them, stopped telling stories about them, and when they finally stopped making wishes to them the species started die out. Without the wishes giving them the power, there was nothing to keep them in existence.

But of course, some stories alive and there was always the occasional wishes dropping in from little children that had yet to stop believing, so a few stayed a live. A handful at first, then only a couple, and finally just the one.

The very last of the fairy godmothers is a mess to behold.

He's fading, there's no doubt of that, and his once gloriously sparkling gown hangs in tatters. His beautiful mane of silver and cream has lost all luster and is falling out by the handfuls. His wings barely function anymore, and he's generally had one too many hits of Mumbo Jamma Juice. Bothering with wishes isn't really a thing anymore. Occasionally, he will come across something that catches his attention enough that he uses the last drops of his power to try to grant it.

Sadly, he rarely gets it right.

Like when he comes across this semi-young hunter with a plethora of the most sore and sad wishes in his scarred and broken heart. The hidden longing for love and family and home, reminds the fairy godmother so much of the princesses he used to cater to thousands of years ago, that he can't resist the need to want to bring just those things to the hunter.

Except, again he gets it wrong. He gets those wishes all garbled up and can't differentiate between love and home and safety, and he thinks the best thing he can do for this one called Dean is to turn his beloved car into a human. And the face the old fairy picks, is the first one he can pluck out of what lies in Dean's heart.

"Good." And that seems settled enough that he starts walking down the street toward the bar and then the guy has to go and say something like that and he comes to a halt and reaches out to put a hand on Baby's chest to make him stop too.

"That's another thing. Sex is...to people who aren't Dean and FDR, sex is a private act. Between the people doing it. Whoever Dean's...had relations with, that's between those people. And it's their choice to talk about it. Do you understand? Why they got so upset with you, B?" Because that's what FDR calls him.

"For all they like to pretend, sex isn't always a casual thing. It's between two people who like and care about eachother and choose to be intimate. And that's-that's special." Hi, meet Tuck the romantic.

Baby frowns a little. There are a lot of concepts that he's still learning and this new explanation of sex is completely different from the casual thing that Dean made it seem.

Being human is hard. There's a lot of things he's not supposed to say and there's a lot of things he still has to learn and a lot of things people are getting mad at him for.

He nods again. "Okay." He'll learn everything eventually, right, and then being human won't be so hard? "What can we talk about?" he asks as he looks down at the hand on his chest.

"Well." And his hands slide into his pockets as he starts walking again. "It's never nice to talk about other people. But you're always welcome to talk about yourself. It's got to be hard, this change, yeah? How are you adjusting?"

He does. Dean, if nothing else, is consistent with their sex life. He's good. He's skilled. He's learned in the art of FDR. But the anger in his gut is so hot it's cold, and he knows one damn spark is all it's going to take to make him explode. So he tries to ignore what Dean knows how to do. And it's hard, but he's nothing if not stubborn. Even if he's licking his lips when Dean pulls away.

"Then say it." He orders.

He catches that gaze, even holds it for a moment. Because he gets this is Dean trying to pacify him. It only pisses him off more though.

"Great. I'm special. We good?" And there's a a half-assed attempt at a smile before he's trying to pry that hand out of his shirt.

"Dean." And there's just a ...tiredness to the way he says the guy's name. "I don't want to do this. We don't have to do this. There's nothing you're gonna say that's gonna fix...any of it."

"Okay. I don't." And he shakes his head before bringing a hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose for a second. "Look, I'm just saying, there's no reason to go down this road."

And if Dean isn't going to break, he is, and he takes the stick off the table and lines up the ball before making the break. It's solid, and the balls scatter across the table, but his anger might be seeping out a little bit since not a god damn ball makes it in the hole.

[personal profile] bigvessel 2016-02-01 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh my god, you are so immature. Put the ball down." Seriously, Dean? "Look. I've got nothing to say. But obviously you do. So I'll listen okay? If you put the damn ball back down."
bigvessel: (Default)

[personal profile] bigvessel 2016-02-01 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
With a sharp inhale he put the cue stick back down on the table and took the few steps necessary to get in Dean's personal space. "Alright. You want to be an ass about this. Fine. You wanna know what I think? I think someone took the two fucking things you like the most right now and shoved them together. And now you get your car with all your daddy hang-ups and history and whatever else some metal means to you. And you get my face on it. Which, let's be real, is my best feature. So, yeah, it seems pretty damn obvious how this is gonna go. And to top it off you fucking tell him about it. Oh. And add to it all the comments about the matching big dick he's got like its something you've actually considered? I'm just bracing myself for the inevitable here."

He makes a face at the idea of the threesome, but that's a whole new issue that he's not going to bother getting into at the moment.

He has a harder time letting go of the fact that Dean just called him Frankie like he's twelve. But even that is...forgettable. So his arms cross over his chest stubbornly. They're all valid points, but one fissure in the mask is all it takes for the rest of it to start cracking. And it's easy to tell himself that all of that doesn't matter because it's never been this before. It's never been his face and Dean's car. That there's always greener grass on the other side.

"Yeah, and what would that billboard say, Dean?"

Pussyfooting around the issue is only going to give him a reason to blatantly ignore it, which he's feeling rather inclined to do. But he asks because maybe it's something he'd rather not....ignore it completely.

"It is hard," Baby agrees readily and bobs his head as he follows Tuck, trying to figure out this pacing thing. He's supposed to walk beside Tuck, right? He can do that. Tuck doesn't make him feel like he's just a car. It's nice.

"I can't see to say anything right. Nobody's happy with me. Dean never yells at me, but he yelled at me today." He looks so, so sad about that. There is definitely some guilt going on with that right now. "I'm sorry I hit on you."

He didn't really mean to. It wasn't what he was trying to do.

"Yes, well." And his hand moves up to jerk at the collar of his shirt, obviously not sure exactly what to make of that apology. "As for angering Dean, just try to keep in mind that the stories you know might be something he never expected to share with anyone but you. Do you understand what secrets are?"
bigvessel: (pic#8637364)

[personal profile] bigvessel 2016-02-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
He knows exactly what he's doing. He knows what would be slapped on that billboard and he's let Dean go far too long without having to address it. Maybe because they've made this too easy on themselves. Not acknowledging how close they've become, how often he looks forward to curling up on the couch with the man as often as he does to rolling around in the sheets with him. And he knows Dean is eager to come back to him when he's finished with a mission, whenever they both have some time off to see each other.

So yeah. He's pushing. He's pushing and Dean is sweating and backing up and rambling. And they're things that...well, things he did need to hear. Because it makes sense. But secrets are his job, and he doesn't exactly like something walking around that knows more than him about Dean.

He follows Dean, and he'll corner him if he has to. "Why do you like me then?"
james_kirk: (Baby)

[personal profile] james_kirk 2016-02-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
"I know what secrets are." Dean has a lot of secrets. So does Sam. Every human seems to have a lot of secrets. "But everything I know might be a secret. Does this mean I can't say anything?"

It's hard for him to draw the line between what's meant to be said out loud and what isn't. "He tells me a lot of things. How do I know what's secret?"
bigvessel: (Default)

[personal profile] bigvessel 2016-02-02 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Well. It's hard to know, really. But, the polite thing to do would be not to talk about anything he's told you or done, just assume that was meant to be between the two of you. If you want to talk to people, talk about yourself. How you're feeling. What you want. Nobody's going to learn anything about you otherwise."

They make it inside with just the few casual nods that indicate this place is familiar to Tuck, and he leads Baby toward the back where the darts are. "FDR tells me a lot of things too, but I don't repeat them. Because that's what friends do."

He's not sure what he's expecting as an answer. Rich. Cool car. Cooler house. Good in bed. He's not expecting all of the sappy shit that comes tumbling out of Dean's mouth, and he definitely doesn't expect the way it warms his stomach in ways that he hasn't felt-well, he's not sure he's ever felt.

"Oh, do I?" He grins, once Dean is finally cornered, and he leans in, sets an arm right above his head. They're close but not touching. "Well. That sign would probably say that I love you, you moron. Not something I've ever been scared to say. Just didn't think you wanted to hear it."
