Day Seven - Late Night
Who: Shannon Rutherford and Sam Winchester
What: Late night talk
When: Day 7, late night
Where: the museum
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete



It had been a long, drama-filled day and Shannon was exhausted. She'd had a not-terribly-pleasant chat with Sam that morning after having taken a bow and arrow shooting lesson with Domeki and after that she'd gone hunting with Anders. It was cold as all fuck outside and the snow was ridiculous. So ridiculous, in fact, that she and Cheryl had had to meet up to dig poor Edward out of the snow and, well, at least her hand had stopped stinging once she was back indoors and the wind and snow weren't whipping against the small laceration she'd acquired in the process. The journals had blown up with bullshit high school drama, Domeki and Watanuki had come to the museum - rounding the number of residents out to a whopping seven - because they'd been snowed out of the thrift shop, and Shannon was fucking beat, emotionally as well as physically.

She slunk back into the room she and Sam shared, bringing her torch with her and wedged it into the floor in a knothole she'd found there. After spreading out the blanket that she'd gained from waking up naked with Anders, Shannon took off the hoodie she'd been wearing and hung it from the nail the painting he'd used to cover himself had fallen from. Next, she dropped down onto the blanket and sighed, taking a drink - good thing she had ganked more alcohol before the snow had fallen. Today...sucked ass.

Sam put his arm around her and gave her shoulder a squeeze. Shannon wasn't sure how to take that. It was a friendly gesture, but when coupled with the conviction in his voice when his words insinuated he was going to take care of her, it became confusing.

"I know," she told him honestly, because she did know, even if she felt that he meant it on a very different level than she wanted him to. "But that's easier said than done," she added.

Why couldn't this day just be over, she wondered. Her eyes were cast downward then and she turned her head to look back at the wall in front of her, sitting stiffly beside him and feeling altogether uncomfortable by the fact that she'd rather he touch her face and kiss her than give her shoulder a squeeze. Apparently, not everyone in existence was so easy to attract and pull into the web. Good for Sam, she thought miserably, if he can resist without effort. Probably better off for him in the long run, anyway, she supposed. Especially since she was a curse. Now it was even extending to girls with whom she considered herself close. Great.

Sam felt her stiffen under his arm and he realized that he had acted out of line. Way to go, Winchester. Touch her when she's worried some guy with women issues is coming after her. Sam let a breath out through his nose and pulled his arm back. "Sorry," he said, looking at her as she stared at the wall in front of her. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

"I'll send a message to him tomorrow," Sam said, looking down at his hands. "Make sure he understands."

Shannon looked back at Sam, her brow furrowed slightly at the tone in his voice; she hadn't meant to make him feel badly, after all. "It's fine," she said, shaking her head. "It's just...today," she added awkwardly. This morning. Make up your fucking mind, because I can't stand this. Is this how Dean feels about me right now? No wonder he doesn't want to be around me...

Taking a drink and then offering Sam the bottle, Shannon went back to staring at the wall and wrapped her free arm around herself in an effort to block out the cold. No matter how awkward things were...she was going to have to stick out tonight if she wanted to be warm. Things wouldn't feel different for him and the conflict was internal for her. So long as she just sucked it up, it'd be fine. He'd be warm, she'd be warm, and come morning, it'd be over and she'd try to figure something else out.

Sam took the bottle and took a drink. He wished it'd been some Jack and would at least give him the impression of warmth going down, instead it was cold and tasted of peppermint toothpaste. He swallowed and looked down, his eye catching Shannon's now empty hand.

"Shannon, what happened to your hand?" He asked, reaching out and wrapping his fingers around her wrist as he pulled it towards the light and closer to him. He put the bottle down and traced the inside of her palm lightly with his fingers to see how bad it was. It looked long but not deep. Luckily there wouldn't be any dental floss stitches required.

Shannon didn't have a chance to hide her hand before Sam had noticed it and her breath caught in her throat as his fingers moved over her palm after his other hand closed gently around her wrist. "It's nothing, I just knicked it," she said. On Edward's hand, so don't even get me started on that little what-the-fuck moment...that's just another notch on the bedpost of my shitty day.

Her eyes were on his face and her stomach was fluttering at his touch...and she hated it. Why was she wasting her time being attracted to someone who didn't even notice her? Not that way, at least. Not the way she wanted or the way she was used to being noticed.
