20: [Video/Action] Open Arms
Feb. 28th, 2011 09:24 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
dashboardliteDean is slumped in one of the easy chairs in his room, seemingly completely oblivious to the camera he's left on the bedside table. It's at enough of an angle that half his face is obscured by the shadows in the dimly-lit room, and the only sources of illumination are the floor lamp off in the far corner, and the soft electric glow of the radio's face.
The only thing it's been playing today are Journey's greatest hits, but it's been stuck on a loop of Faithfully and Open Arms, which made Dean think, and thinking is always a bad idea when he's convinced that he's fucked up almost every close friendship - or relationship - he's had with anyone since coming here.
Dean is starting to see a pattern, and if the expression of grim pain on his face isn't enough of a giveaway that something is wrong, then the beer bottle dangling from his fingertips over the left arm of the chair ought to be. Reaching down, he tugs off one of his heavy biker boots and chucks it at the radio, which clatters to the floor and fizzles out of whatever reception it was getting.
He knows he should be happier. His brother is here. Sam, Sasquatch that he is, is here - albeit older - the the guilt he feels over moping when he should be catching up with Sam is...really awful, actually.
But everyone has those days, right?
Right?

[Sigh.]
Anyway, what's got your goat? You need to talk any?

Date: 2011-03-01 04:21 am (UTC)Dean chuckles a little.]
If I coulda changed the channel, I would've. [He shifts a little in his chair, turning to look at the communicator and furrowing his brow a little.]
Who else's been mopey?

Date: 2011-03-01 07:57 pm (UTC)Dean?
[ ...Especially since Philip was pretty sure that Dean's brother showing up would make things better and not worse for him.
So either he really misunderstood something here or... ]
What's-- What's wrong?
[video]
Date: 2011-03-01 08:07 pm (UTC)[Dean's face was pressed into the crook of his elbow until the communicator crackled and Philip's concerned voice came over the line. Lifting his head wearily and lolling it to one side, he appraises the comm unit for a moment before dragging himself from the easy chair laboriously and trudging over to the desk, pulling up a seat on a stool.
Folding his arms on the desk and burying his face in them again for a moment, Dean mumbles something incoherent as an answer, though the tone is laced with obvious misery.]
[video]
Date: 2011-03-01 08:13 pm (UTC)For a moment Philip wonders if he could have missed the start of an event, but if this is Free Booze For All: Round II then somebody must've neglected his fill. And the pink dress, thank god. ]
I'm afraid you're going to have to run that by me again.

Date: 2011-03-03 03:15 am (UTC)You're a Journey fan, huh? [There's a half-hearted smirk playing at his lips, but he's hardly one to talk since he has a secret liking for music less elegant than everyone seems to assume.] Is this a pity party that anyone can join?
[Video] yessssss ilu forever
Date: 2011-03-03 04:39 am (UTC)So Dean raises his eyebrows and straightens up in his chair a little, returning the smirk.]
It sure as Hell ain't by invitation only, newbie. If you can make a face that makes the angels cry- [Wow, how ironic, in Dean's case.] -then you're welcome to join.
[Video] I do what I can. =D
Date: 2011-03-04 12:27 am (UTC)Well, I don't know about angels, but I've got a face that can bring grown men to tears if that's any use. Name's Arthur, by the way.
