âGood morning, father Winchester, how was your hiatus?â A young mother asked as Dean welcomed her into the church, her little daughter perched carefully on her hip.
âMy hiatus?â Dean questioned, though tried to make it too obvious that he hadnât any idea what she was talking about.
âWhy, yes; your four-month hiatus, to strengthen your relationship with god. How was it?â She questioned once more, a hint of impatience creeping into her voice.
âOh; yes, it was wonderful, thank you,â Dean hummed, doing his absolute best to smile as he continued to greet the guests into the church.
Dean eventually carried on the service, as usual, standing in front of everyone; however, about three minutes into the service he began to struggle slightly.
The braille pages beneath his fingers felt foreign after all this time, the words seemed almost caught in his throat but Dean had to push through it, the quiet shuffles and coughs of people in the building overwhelming him slightly.
Near the end of service, the man almost had to have Sam take over, but he was too stubborn to allow it and ushed on; it was a relief when it was finally over, Deanâs energy mostly depleted by the time lunch was served.
âSo get this,â Sam announced as he sat down at the table for lunch after Sunday service, the newspaper resting in his lap as he ate.
âApparently, thereâs a town in the next state thatâs had an unusually high amount of mariticide; nearly a dozen wives in the past two months murdering their husbands, all from the same town,â Sam told them, though Dean was slightly distracted by the sheer amount of noise that the many guests were making.
The many chattering guests mixed with the sounds of his two associates chewing their food, along with whatever other bothers were coming from the forest, the eldest Winchester couldnât help but be reminded of his time in hell.
âThat is very odd⌠do you think it may be worth travelling for?â Castiel asked as he took a bite of his burger, a bit of ketchup falling onto his plate.
Dean shrugged, stuffing a bite of food into his mouth like he hadnât eaten in days.
âI think itâd be worth looking around, I'm in need of a good fight,â The priest joked, straightening his posture and whipping his face with a napkin as he heard someone approaching.
The person veered away, though, walking off towards some other table away from the priest, his brother and best friend.
âAlright, weâll leave right after lunch clean-up, then,â Sam settled as the three finished their meals.
Dean continued to struggle throughout the cleaning process, his ears beginning to ring and his blood pumping in his ears as he fought off what could only be called a panic attack, caused by overstimulation.
