Home and healing
Characters: Dean, Justin & Ernie (& Seamus, if you like)
Setting: The Finnigan-Thomas household, around 5:30 PM, Nov. 19
Summary: Dean's finally home from Mungo's and gets a visit from two of his very best friends.
Rating: Mostly worksafe. Justin's involved, after all.

Take-away was a blessed thing, Dean decided. Dean usually did the cooking, because honestly Seamus could probably set fire to a dish of water if let loose in the kitchen. They'd long since decided that Seamus shouldn't go near the cooker at all. However, Dean wasn't really in any shape to cook. He still only had the one good hand, and cooking decidedly required two.

Dean realized as he walked past the still-shut door to his studio, that he actually wasn't certain if Justin was bringing take-away or making something himself. Justin was just the sort of person who would think he was helping by trying to make a warm home-cooked meal...but Dean wasn't sure how that would turn out for any of them involved. Ernie would be coming over as well, and Dean realised he was really looking forward to having their friends over and trying to regain some sense of normalcy.

Dean settled onto the sofa, his right hand still bandage, and kept it elevated on the sofa's arm. One-handed or no, he was being adamant about doing what he could, as many normal activities as he could handle. He was tired of feeling anything like an invalid. At least his bruises were gone now. All that was left to heal - if it could - was the still mostly-deadened right hand. If it couldn't well then there was a whole lot of Dean's spirit that would need mending as well.

Dean pushed himself up with his good hand and went to the door. He tugged it open and smiled at Ernie. "Good to see you mate. You've actually beat Justin here. Come on in." He stepped back, letting the door stand open for Ernie before closing it back.

He glanced at everything Ernie was carrying and offered to take the paper bag. He gestured to the table. "Here, set things down. When Justin gets here we can rearrange with food."

Dean waited until Ernie's hands were free to give his friend a one-armed hug. "How've you been mate? Better than me I hope," he added, trying to inject a bit of levity.

"Good to see you too. Really? I think that's a record then," Ernie said, smiling, glad to see his friend in good spirits.

"It's alright," Ernie said as he did the juggling of setting the items on the table. Ok, so he was something of a bit more conscientious around those who have been injured. It went with his Man-of-La-Mancha-type self...

"And I've been alright," he added, with as much care to not indicate that things had been otherwise. Between the nightmares and the guilt he hadn't been sleeping enough.
