WHO: Claire & Dean and whoever else is attending
WHAT: The ~~wedding reception~~ post-wedding party!
WHEN: 9PM; Halloween
WHERE: Harvelle's Roadhouse
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress
NOTES: This is going to be one of those threads with sub-threads that your character can reply to. For instance, if they're getting a drink, have them reply to the bar sub-thread, then someone can reply to them for a conversation. No one is required to post (you can just say your character attended) but if you want, feel free! Basically during this party the candy will also start to take effect, so your characters may start acting a bit... immature. ;) So have fun and Happy Halloween everyone!

Ellen had put everyone without shouting distance to work just as soon as the word had come that Dean and Claire's reception was going to be at the Roadhouse. By the time the wedding was said and done, the bar was fully stocked, a band was scheduled to play primarily classic rock, and there was a spread of various finger foods on a series of tables that took up one wall of the main room. All-in-all, Ellen felt they'd done a damn good job of throwing the whole thing together.

Now she just hoped that the rest of the party went as smoothly as the set up had gone.

Ben wasn't going to cry. He had decided hours ago and it was a pretty serious promise, made to himself, and he fully intended to honour it.

He wiped his sleeve on his hip to try and return it to it's original condition. It wasn't hugely successful. It wasn't even the first time he had cried today but it was astonishingly different. These tears, embarrassing as they were, were far more welcomed.

He excused himself from Molly for a minute. There was something he wanted to do and he wanted to do it alone. Just the three of them. He was fast and lucky and found them, for the moment, alone. His arms slipped around Claire's waist, his head rested on her shoulder. "So, do you come here often," he grinned, even as a stray tear made its annoying way down his cheek, right when he happened to be looking at his dad.

He didn't expect it to feel different. It wasn't different but he felt... a little safer. He knew neither Claire, nor his dad, would ever leave by choice but now he was somehow more sure.
He turned his head a little, hiding his face in Claire's hair. "I love you, mom," he said softly, holding himself close to her for a moment. He released her slowly to approach his father, the man he had looked up to since he was eight years old. He wrapped his arms about Dean, stepping into a hug of his own making.

"You'll do fine," he said, patting his father gamely on the back. "And I love you." His voice was soft, only for his parents. He had been hungry for this time with them since he read that message but this moment rendered all the earlier anguish forgotten. All the fear he'd carried for the last few weeks evaporated. He finally felt things were going to be OK. That their family was going to be whole. That he could stay. That he wanted to stay. That he was looking forward to meeting his siblings. That he was home again.

Ben leaned against his father for a long minute before taking back his own weight. He reached for their hands. "We're Winchesters," he said proudly, "and nothing's gonna be too much for us." He smiled at each of them. "Got that?"

"Awesome's a really good word for it," Dean agreed, before kissing his wife. Kissing his wife. He felt really good about that thought. He hit his glass against hers and smiled fondly. "To my wife. It's nice to drop the '-type-person' from the end of it." He grinned, shaking his head and laughing. "Thank you for being crazy enough to marry me in spite of my tendency to punch every problem in the face. And I hope you never come to your senses."

Then Ben was there and everything was perfect. "Hey now," he said. "No putting the moves on my wife." But he was grinning and he hadn't felt this good in years...maybe not ever. When Ben called Claire 'mom', he had to subtly wipe at his eyes, because it felt like he'd been waiting for that for too long and suddenly everything had coalesced into something good and right. This was his family, and he would do just about anything to keep them safe.

He hugged Ben tightly and nodded his head. "Love you too, kiddo," he said. "More than anything." He sighed. "And you'll do just fine too." He hugged Ben for a long moment, then let him go and took his hand. "Damn right, Ben." All the earlier nervousness was gone and he felt at peace with things in a way he hadn't before.
