( video ) chapter two: i want to know what love is

[ when the feed opens on becky's face, it's obvious from her expression that she's trying to hold back her excitement about something. her grin seems to say she knows something that everyone else doesn't know — and, well, it's something everyone has probably been wondering about since tuesday. at least, the ones she'd subjected to being set up. she would have attempted to hide her identity as the person responsible for the blind dates for longer than a few days, but she's simply dying to know how they all went and the only way she can find out is if she outs herself. or she could just stalk everyone, but this way is much easier and much more direct. ]

Soooooo... [ the vowels fluctuate in a sing-song manner and she stares expectantly at the screen, brows raised. ] How was everyone's Tuesday? I'm dying to hear all about it.

[ yeah, she's really not trying for subtlety here. she might actually die from excitement at this point the way she's practically holding her breath. it's almost like she's saving it all in case she needs to let out a powerful fangirl screech... sadly, that probably won't happen. maybe next time, becky. ]

[ He thinks of Cora. Of the date. Of Becky, taking an enormous amount of time and effort (or not) to set up all those people, and all Sam says is: ]

You know how I feel about Tuesdays.

[ ... oh.

oh.

this one actually hits her pretty hard, because, well.

she does know. she knows very well, in fact. how she'd managed to overlook that little detail is beyond her, but now it's too late and, well, she's just going to give him the most pathetic puppy dog eyes because she really was trying to do something nice for him. ~~or get rid of her competition, but, you know, same diff.~~ ]

... Okay, but other than ... that. Did you like it? [ at least she didn't set him up with her!! or his brother. ]

... Yeah, actually. [ Thank you for not drugging him again or setting him up with Dean. ] It was... pretty nice.

[ And exactly the kind of thing he likes, dammit. She knows him too well. Sam sighs shortly and tries to offer what he hopes is a faintly grateful smile. ]

D'you know Cora?

[ look, she's at least trying to get on his good side, which is why she didn't just set him up with herself. or dean. she could have done both very easily, but she didn't!! see what a good person she is, sam. you should totally like her now because she knows you so well. she's definitely glad he enjoyed it, though. ]

Um... sort of? [ if alternate universe high school shenanigans count as knowing someone. ] I just figured she might be... your type. [ ugggggggghhgh she hates even saying it. she honestly doesn't even know about the werewolf thing, she just saw cora and thought of madison. funny coincidence if either of them finds out. ]

[ Yeah, he's very. Very glad she didn't do either of those things. ]

My type. [ Said... with a sort of strained dubiousness, but also a slight acceptance. Because she does know his type, and it's weird as Hell, and there's nothing he can do to make her forget.............. ]

... Right. Uh-- I don't know about that, but it wasn't... bad. [ mumble ] I'd actually spoken to her once or twice before.

[ she's also, you know, read the parts where he gets naked with his type. except usually she just inserts herself into those scenes. sorry not sorry.

she does seem genuinely surprised to hear that they'd spoken before. she hasn't had that much time to stalk him, okay... ]

Oh, really? I mean, I had no idea. I just, you know... You deserved to have a good time after... everything. [ even if it had accidentally happened on... a tuesday... ]

[ No talking about his sexual encounters with Becky!!!!! ]

I don't think I-- [ "Deserve much of anything," he begins to say, but falls silent. She'll say something... well, nice and encouraging after, and he doesn't much have the stamina to fight her insistence. Even if he thinks he really doesn't deserve it. ]

It went pretty well. So, thanks.

[ that's right, buster, don't you start with the "i don't deserve it" nonsense. don't make her mom you. ]

It was nothing, really. I just wanted to do something nice for people, but... I guess surprise dates weren't exactly everyone's idea of a good time. I'm glad yours went okay. I mean... it was one of the easier ones to set up. [ one, because she knows sam so well; and two, because the mansion did most of the work for her. ]

Right. [ awkward shuffle ] So, uh... what about the others? I didn't hear about much. M'sure they were pretty... different considering the people here.

[ And the monsters and the element of fiction........ ]

[ oh, sam, you've just opened the floodgates. let her tell you all about the dates. she is pretty proud of some of them. ]

Well, I'm sure you've heard about Dean's disaster pie date... [ she looks a little upset about that, because she was really hoping that one would work out better. ]

But I set up some really fun stuff in the woods and the gardens and Jo even said she had a good time! That one was Beauty and the Beast themed. [ until dean ruined it, apparently. not that she knows that. ]

[ she sighs wistfully, her eyes dreamy. ] I even set up Captain America and Bucky and I'm pretty sure they're finally realizing their undying love for each other. [ uh. yeah, okay, maybe not, but a girl can dream! ]

[ and... sam probably didn't even want to hear about that. oops. ] Um. Yeah! Anyway... Not all of them were total busts...

I didn't hear too much from Dean, actually. [ Not from him, anyway. He knows Ned was there... ] Hey, if less people are fighting now and more're being friendly, I'd call that a win.

[ becky looks... well, slightly disappointed that dean hadn't told sam much. they're supposed to tell each other everything. but, then, she isn't aware of how much their relationship has changed over the years. she probably couldn't handle knowing about the breakup during the apocalypse and even after it. good thing she doesn't have access to all those other manuscripts. ]

Oh. Well, you should ask him. Or... find something else to talk about. I mean, how long's it been since you had a real brother-to-brother conversation? [ she's more concerned with the state of how things are with them than anything else. she doesn't doubt it's been rough since the whole dean being murdered incident. ]

Uh-- [ He tries to quickly come up with a response, but he really doesn't know. It's been a while, but maybe not too long; they start to blend together after a while in this place where it feels like they're going in circles with these talks. ] I mean, probably not... too long.

[ As if she can't see right through that one. ]

Look, I know you're... worried about us, but there're bigger things happening her than... that.

[ Than he and Dean being as close as they were, which might not ever happen. ]

[ he's right, she does see right through it. it's pretty easy when she's read a third of his whole life story and technically been inside his head... ]

So it's been a while. [ not gonna fool her, sammy. ] I just know... you two are stronger when you're, you know, brothers. [ she doesn't even mean it in the weird incesty way... okay, well, maybe she does a little bit. this is still becky we're talking about. ] Whatever else is going on around here, don't you think you ought to figure it out together?

Yeah, maybe. [ sigh ] Look--and don't take this the wrong way--but you know how things work with us. Sometimes we're better off together, sure, but a lot of times...

[ He shifts, uncomfortable. This is still Becky, after all. ]

Sometimes we're not.

[ she really doesn't believe that, not at all, but she doubts he wants to fight about it. it's still his life and he should know better than her, right? she's just a fangirl who reads too much into everything — too much into things that she shouldn't even know about. ]

I guess... things have really changed, then, in the future. I mean — it's just, the Sam I know wouldn't say that. [ but ... does she really know him? really? they aren't friends, barely more than acquaintances; she knows the sam on the pages of the books, but when it comes down to it, that's all she knows. this sam, the real sam and the sam in the books — they might be the same person, might have shared the same experiences and thought the same things and eaten the same food, but there's so much she still doesn't know, can't possibly know. ]

[ real life doesn't just stop at the end of a book, and as much as she knows that, she desperately wants to believe that he's wrong about him and dean. she may not know about the apocalypse or soulless sam or leviathans or purgtory, but family has always been stronger than any of that. that's the whole point of the books — the whole point of their life. sam can say what he wants, but becky will always stand behind the winchesters — brothers, soulmates, and the best damn hunters of their age. but it only works if they're together. ]

[ there's no i in team, sam. ]
