Dean raised his eyes from the pie, and looked at Lexi when she told him to have as much pie as he wanted.  After months of barely eating any food at all, the idea of living off pie didn’t sound like such a bad thing.  Even as full as his stomach already was, he had saved plenty of room.  He rolled his eyes at Sam, while cutting himself a large piece of pie, smirking at Lexi defending him.

“Listen to the lady. I’m a growing boy.  I need my food.”, Dean scoffed, carefully putting the piece of pie on a plate as if it was a delicate flower.  He picked a spare fork from the counter and made his way back over to the table, “I took a shower, and I smell good.  I deserve a reward.  That’s the most effort I’ve made in months.”

He dug into the pie almost instantly, turning to look at Lexi with a mouth full, “This is perfect.  You’re an angel.  And to answer the question in the room…no.  I still feel like crap, but it’s only polite to not smell up the place when we have guests.”

Dean shrugged his shoulders and tucked back into his pie, taking another massive bite.  He turned his eyes to Sam and nodded his head.  He wanted his brother to know that letting Lexi stay was a good idea.  Hell, having Jodi over would have been enough to make Dean at least open his door and take a shower, not that Jodi would have let him keep drinking himself to death anyway.  She would have removed his door, if that’s what it took to keep him from sulking.

“So, what’s this hunt you guys are working on?  I haven’t exactly been in the loop lately, and I don’t even know that I want to get back in the loop, everything considered…but it seems important, for you to ask for help.”, he asked Sam carefully, taking another bite.
