[manorsuperman]

[ooc: Set several hours after this thing that we started a long friggin time ago. Should have gotten this up sooner.]

It had been a long drive from Smallville to wherever it was they were now. Honestly, Lana hadn't been paying attention. There had been a little talking in the car, but she had mostly listened to whatever conversation was going on, fiddled with her phone or iPod...or watched Sam from the corner of her eye. She couldn't exactly put her finger on it, but there was something very familiar about him, like she'd met him somewhere before. But if she had, she was sure she would have remembered him.

Now they were all settling into their rooms. As she expected, Chloe was wholly set on sharing a room with Dean instead of her. Hopefully there wouldn't be too much noise filtering in from the other side of the wall.

Lana set her bag on one of the beds and sat beside it, starting to pull off her shoes and make herself comfortable.

Comments

[manorsuperman]

Now her mind was really in the gutter, and she mentally scolded herself for it. No matter how deprived she was or how incredibly hot he was, it was absolutely ridiculous for her mind to turn something innocent into anything else.

"Okay." She answered casually, but kept her eyes on the ceiling, for fear if she looked at him her eyes would betray her, or that her face was a little redder than it should be. He didn't need to think she was a pervert, because she wasn't. Not usually.

[likely_evil]

Of course, if she cornered him, there might nothing that a naked, cornered wet Winchester could do.

He escaped into the bathroom, leaving the door open a crack as he took a quick shower. He would come back into the room about 10 minutes later, the undershirt stuck to his still semi-wet torso as he rubbed his hair dry.

"Any word from next door?"

[manorsuperman]

As little time as he'd taken to shower, Lana had almost fallen asleep after she curled up on her side. It was his voice that brought her back. Her eyes slowly roamed his chest, but after a few seconds came back to her senses and looked away. She was embarrassed, evidenced by the pink hue of her cheeks, but still managed to keep her expression relatively neutral.

"Uh, no. No, I haven't heard anything, and I really hope I don't." There was no way of knowing what was going on over there, but Lana knew what her friend was planning, and she didn't want to hear any of it.

Though now her body seemed to want the very same thing from Sam. Stupid sex drive.

[likely_evil]

"Think it's safe to go over there?" He smirked at her, having a good idea of what Chloe wanted from his brother.

And Lana sleeping there... he couldn't notice how pretty she looked sleeping. He had almost hated to wake her.

[manorsuperman]

Lana sat up carefully and gracefully, turning her body toward him and shaking her head. "Not even close."

[likely_evil]

"Well, I guess we'll have to amuse ourselves." He sat down on the other bed, looking over at her.

"What do you want to do?"

[manorsuperman]

She looked around the room, hoping maybe something would give her an idea, but no luck. "I...really have no idea," she said with a warm chuckle. "I guess we could just sit and talk. I mean...Chloe is like a sister to me and I'm sure she had the best of intentions, but..."

[likely_evil]

"But she's in the same room with my brother, who isn't really what I would call the model of sainthood." Sam smirked.

"I'm up for talking. Not sure what about, but talking sounds like a good place to start."

[manorsuperman]

Right. Chloe had a stake in this, too. She gets a wild night with a wild guy and Lana was dragged along to have awkward conversations with the brother...not that she was complaining. Not exactly.

She smiled back at him and said the first thing that came to her mind. "You and Dean are like day and night. I'm surprised you haven't killed each other."

[likely_evil]

"We've gotten close, but then we'd be alone and it's boring that way." Sam leaned back a bit. "It's the same with you and Chloe... though you guys do seem to really have the whole best friends forever mindset going."

[manorsuperman]

As Sam leaned back, Lana found herself leaning forward, though not on a conscious level. "It hasn't always been that way. She moved to Smallville from Metropolis, so it's not like I've known her all my life. I was, uh..." She blushed a little. "I was that cheerleader everyone was in love with and she was the new girl with a fascination with the strange and inexplicable. Not exactly the best formula for a good friendship when you're a teenager."

[likely_evil]

Sam chuckled. "I'll admit I find that funny because Dean was the one who chased after the cheerleaders, and I liked the strange kinda dorky girls."

[manorsuperman]

That certainly made her blush. "Well, we aren't those people anymore. At least I'm not."

[likely_evil]

"Out of practice, or just changed perspectives?"

[manorsuperman]

She paused for a second before answering. "My mom was a cheerleader...she and my dad died in Smallville's first meteor shower. I wanted to be just like her...but by the time I got to high school, I just got so tired of being around those people. Just the shallowness and the disrespect to anyone who wasn't 'cool' enough...I never really fit in there." She paused again before adding one last thing. "I don't think I ever fit in anywhere..."

[likely_evil]

"The longest I went in one school, except senior year, was maybe a month or two. Freshman year of high school, I was in three schools before it was even November. I never had a chance to fit in anywhere because i was always the new kid."

[manorsuperman]

So moving around was natural for them. That was interesting considering she'd spent most of her life stuck in one place. "Was your dad in the military or something?"

[likely_evil]

"You could say that." Like Sam was going to tell Lana what he and Dean did for a living.

[manorsuperman]

After years of experience with Clark, Lana recognized that phrase and knew there was something he wasn't telling her. It nagged at her a little, but she didn't push. It might have taken her a while to learn, but she understood that sometimes people kept secrets for very good and valid reasons. Whatever it was, he didn't want to talk about it, so she would leave it.

"What about your mom?"

[likely_evil]

Sam looked away, obviously uncomfortable. "She died when I was a baby."

[manorsuperman]

"...oh."

Awkward silence. She didn't know what else to say. Someone else might have said they were sorry, but Lana had been through that before. After a while, she'd gotten tired of hearing it. Maybe he had, too.

[likely_evil]

"Want to go get something to eat? They can find their own food."

Change of subject and get them out of the room.

[manorsuperman]

She nodded, glad for the change of subject.

"Good idea. Chinese?" She certainly hoped so.

[likely_evil]

"Actually, I haven't had chinese in awhile. It tends to just be burgers and pizza with Dean."

He went over to his laptop, starting it up to look where a local place would be. "Buffet or just cartons?"

[manorsuperman]

As good as cartons sounded, that still meant they'd be just a room away from Dean and Chloe's dangerous liaison. Dangerous as in the possibly of certain noises ruining the mood of the evening. "Buffet."
