Sam giggles when his friend starts tickling him, little cold fingers trying to reach any inch of his belly. Dad isn’t home tonight-- he’s working again or something, and Dean is in his room doing ‘teenager stuff’. Sam doesn’t want to know what that truly means, but for him it means he’ll have a lot of free time to play with Max today. He’s cool with that.

Sam doesn’t like it when Dad says Max’s just an imaginary friend. Max is real! They play together all the time! He doesn’t know why Dad can’t see him, nor Dean-- but Max is real and they’re best friends and that’s fine because he has a friend only to himself, just like Sully. Sometimes Sam misses Sully-- but it’s different this time, because Max isn’t like Sully.

“Hey, wanna see something real cool today?” Max asks after Sam stopped laughing and had enough time to catch his breath. “I found this thing--”

But the younger boy doesn’t finish his sentence, because Dean is suddenly in the room, messing Sam’s hair playfully and smiling at his little brother. It’s good to have Dean around-- he’s funny and nice and Sam wishes he could see Max too, because they all would have so much fun together! Well, at least Sam thinks so.

“Hey, short stuff.” Dean smiles a bit more, adjusting the old leather jacket around his body. He’s going out and Sam wonders if he’s meeting with some random chick he’s just met. “Dad called. He’s going to be a few weeks late.”

“Okay.” Sam shrugs. It won’t be the first time Dad’s taking a long time to come back, but for the first time Sam wishes he’d take a bit longer. He doesn’t want to move again. He can worry about this later. Dean is grabbing his keys and almost reaching the door. “Where are you going?”

“I need to buy some stuff. Wanna tag along?”

Sam stares at Max for a second, wondering if this things he’s found will be more interesting than going into town-- but his friend isn’t paying attention to him. Max is staring at Dean and he has this really weird expression on his face, bordering on creepy. Sam frowns. It’s not the first time Max acts weird around Dean, but Sam can’t really understand it. Dean is cool-- he believes Sam.

“Nah. Max’s going to show me something nice.” Sam says, and Max just nods softly, still eyeing Dean.

“Okay. You guys behave and don’t leave the house. I’ll be back soon.”
