Dean & Open
Dean left work, went home and changed into more comfortable clothes before setting out to Ernie's. He' had a gift for Justin, some he'd used with Seamus many a time by now, and thought Justin would appreciate. It wasn't quite the same with Seamus not being able to attend, but there was nothing to be done about it. Besides, Justin was planning to come by later anyway. They could pick up Seamus at work and hang out a bit longer and celebrate.
Celebrating was something they needed. The rash of nightmares showed no sign of dying down, nor did the murders. Dean was left feeling unsettled at best and afraid at worst. Every time one of his friends complained of another night's bad dreams, Dean only grew more worried. He was doing his best to to make it obvious, but he knew he wasn't really fooling those closest to him. Hopefully tonight would take his mind off it, at least for a little bit.
