She would be very disappointed in herself if he weren't learning more from her. Ruby will wonder for a long time if he's really okay with what she is. He'll be forgiven, but it won't be forgotten for a while. That's not entirely his fault. She worries about it because she believes he deserves more, because she believes that she doesn't deserve this much, something this good. However, it does more good when he smiles, when he leans into everything, into them as a couple. She likes making him blush and it's so much easier to make him blush at this age. She glances over her shoulder while her back is turned so she can see him turn that shade of pink. "Consider me in waiting then," she teases. She's not actually going to help him remember. It's fun to see him flustered. Besides, he'll figure it out soon enough.

He's doing okay. She thinks the shirt thing counts. After all, she's got him out of it. "No one with taste," she dismisses it, aware that person is probably Dean. She is a little curious what Dean and the parents think of him being here, but that's a conversation for later. She'll remind him to text Dean and tell him he's staying the night later. She doesn't want any annoyed Winchesters banging on the door. The gesture confuses her a half a second before she links her fork to is. "What are we toasting to?"

[weirddreams]

Well, Ruby is a good teacher. She shouldn't need to wonder if he is really okay with what she is because Castiel got through to him. For a while, it will be and should just be Sam that worries about her forgiving him for his outburst. He's the one that essentially shut the door in her face. He owes her no matter what better she or anybody thinks he deserves. It's also simply not true. That he deserves better. She does. He can only smile because she makes him and a part of him realizes maybe they had their first fight and are working through it. He'll get a little redder when she teases him and figure out where he was with the food soon enough.

Of course it's Dean. He doesn't really know anybody as well as his brother. Ruby dismissing it prompts a little grin, and if his heart weren't already pounding, it would be right now. "You have taste," he happily provides, moving the conversion on. He would admit he is curious how Ruby ended up a fan but he has a sneaking suspicion that the answer would look back at him in a mirror. He'll text Dean after the movie or later or something. It's not late enough yet that he's thinking about that. He's caught him off guard when she asks him what for. "Y'know, movie, food, company." It's a meager explanation but the only one to come off the top of his head.

[peaceonearth]

Insecurity and worry aren't always rational. It will take a while, a conversation or two and possibly an event or two for it to go away. It's good that he's taking the issue of her forgiveness seriously though. It helps the whole situation a great deal. It allows her to take it lightly, and that's the better situation. If they both go forward with what they want rather than what's owed or deserved, it'll serve them both better. Ruby could care less what she deserves or doesn't; she knows she wants Sam regardless. They've fought before, but he doesn't remember it. Regardless they are working through this one beautifully.

"Duh," she teases in return and bumps his shoulder with hers. A lot of human things that Ruby likes circle back to him. He's the first person she's tried to be human with and for. She nods a little at his explanation. "Those are as good as any," she says in agreement.

[weirddreams]

Rationalizing everything is one thing Sam needs to learn to do less of, not more. A conversion (or two) will be good for them in the long run. He is taking it very seriously. He could learn a thing or two about want (desire) over what one deserves or needs to be responsible for and all from Ruby. He wouldn't imagine they ever fought before. How could they have when he sees himself as more mature when he's older? He'll let her be the one to judge how he's doing.

He grins because she's always very modest (as in not at all and he finds that attractive). He rolls his shoulder against hers in response to her brushing against him. Never in a million years does he think she'd harm him and this is one reason why. He feels more comfortable sitting there shirtless because her demeanor is positive. "You want to add anything?"

[peaceonearth]

he absolutely needs to learn to think with his heart sometimes. Ruby will be happy to help with that. He's more mature, but he's not perfect (and neither is she).

It's one of her best virtues (not at all so it's a good thing he finds that attractive). She doesn't see any reason to be humble about something that is fact: for example, her body is hot and she's personally got great taste.It's actually a really big thing that he feels comfortable and safe around her, especially now that he knows she's a demon. She purses her lips, pondering that for a moment. "Well, shirtlessness is something I currently feel like should be toasted right now." A wicked smirk tugs at the corners of her lips (yes, she's still very pleased with herself). She leans closer to him, her shoulder pressing against his. "Also...making up."

She'll let him decide where he's comfortable going with that right now.

[weirddreams]

He can absolutely do that the moment he stops trying to earn her forgiveness. First, he just needs to be absolutely sure that he has earned it.

Well, her best virtue is hardly a sin either. Ruby does have a great body (hard not to think that when he's seen her naked a couple of times, including just a moment ago). The toplessness is still on his mind. He's pretty sure nobody would play a con that long even if they were human if they were out to hurt him. Safe may be the more accurate word of the two. He nods slowly, feeling more confident in his decision. "Sure. We can count that too." A bashful smile comes out after looking at her telltale smirk. Is he reading the signal wrong or is that a move on him? He leans closer to her and a little more until he leans in far enough to kiss her cherry red lips.

[peaceonearth]

Oh, he's supposed to think of it. That was part of the reason she put on his shirt (the other is that it smells like him and somehow feels like him). It's pretty unbelievable that anyone would play a con that long. The problem Dean kept running into when he was grappling with accepting Ruby was that it would be a long con with no visible gain in the end. Itinere takes a lot of typical motivations for that sort of thing away (which is probably one reason there's not a lot of crime here). In any case, she's not running a con. At first, she'd been genuinely fascinated by Sam. Once she'd gotten to know him in their world, she'd liked him. Once she'd spent some time with him here, she'd fallen in love with him (something she'd thought impossible given her demon status and stunted emotions--which aren't nearly as stunted now as they once were).

He's definitely not reading the signal wrong and in any other situation, she'd be the one to kiss him without hesitation. However, she wants to make sure it's his choice to kiss her a demon. Once his lips touch hers, she moves even closer, arms wrapping around him, one hand tangling in his hair. When the kiss breaks, she smiles. "Definitely worth toasting."

[weirddreams]

Well, he's not going to be able to shake it for the rest of ever. His shirt and Ruby will be in his dreams when he goes to sleep tonight. He genuinely believes the best in her.

It's good that she gives him the chance to make the first move as it allows him to feel more certain, more bold in choosing it. However, it would still be an amazing kiss if she were the one to initiate it. Ruby's an expert kisser from what he can tell. Her lips melt like butter on his and her hands in his hair prompt his own to come up to the sides of her face just at her ears, melt deeper into the kiss. As the kiss breaks, his eyes open again with inquiry (did they have to stop there or could they can kiss again?). "Thank you." He is certain that was a compliment.

[peaceonearth]

Just another way she influences the person he becomes. It's occurred to her (mostly prompted by Dean) that she ought to feel guilty for that, but she can't manage to actually feel any guilt over it. After all, the Sam he grows into is a very good man. If she had anything at all to do with that, she's proud of it.

Sometimes her instincts are right on. She hadn't ever kissed many people before him so he can thank himself for that. She chuckles at his acceptance of the compliment (or was he thanking her for the kiss, she's not sure) then initiates that second kiss he'd wanted, abandoning the food (they can heat it up later or take a break from the making out to refuel). She moves into the kiss, so that she's half in his lap.

[weirddreams]

Well, she should not feel guilty for letting him have all the same experiences as other teenage boys. Yes, even if that means his head is full of thoughts of her instead of school work or the family business. It's the first time he's ever found himself alone with a girl for this long. Her influence is teaching him how to be a man that can read the signals.

Ruby has good instincts or maybe she is learning some patience. Sam can't bring himself to ask her how many people she kissed before because the answer maybe more than he'd like. He's kissed very few people too. His kissing skills may still be subpar. He is most definitely thanking her for the compliment, but it goes without saying that it applies for the kiss too. One nice thing about their food is that it still tastes good at room temperature. When she moves half into his lap, he wants her the rest of the way in it and his hands seek to pull her in.

[peaceonearth]

If that's how he's going to look at it, then she'll continue to make sure he's got those experiences. She'll share that logic with Dean when and if he mentions it again. It's important that he learns to read signals and to trust his instincts.

She's learning patience with him at least. Oh, Sam. He really shouldn't worry so much about that. He's the first good non-toxic relationship she's ever had. His kissing skills are improving. Practice makes perfect after all. She readily allows him to pull her into his lap. Her arms slide around him as she settles into his lap. The kiss breaks and Ruby moves one hand to rest on his heart. She can feel it pounding in his chest. "Are you still hungry?" she asks, not sure if she ought to let him eat instead of kiss attacking him.

[weirddreams]

Yes, he will look at it that way the second he returns to normal. Dean can't beat this logic, not when it's true. She's teaching him all that.

At some point everybody needs patience with Sam. He does appreciate hers above most others though. If not that, then what should he worry about? Nothing? Well, eventually he won't. When he can tell himself his kissing skills are close to hers. It's a new goal he just set. Look at Ruby be responsible for once. Sam feels an ache in his chest when the kiss breaks but half roused again when her hand rests over his hearts, eyes fluttering open to briefly look down at her hand then straight into her eyes. His heart might as well be trying to lunge into her hand. "Am I?" he phrases the question back, for a minute unable to process the real question. "Oh, I- I guess. We were going to watch the movie too, right?" Kiss attacks are alright with him, but he'll go with taking it slow again because that's what starting from the beginning should be.

Right?

[peaceonearth]

Dean will spend a few days watching Sam and making sure he came back 'Sam', just as he did after 16-year-old Sam went home. Ultimately, he'll find that Sam is still very much himself.

That's part of existing with other sentient creatures. Even demons (and Ruby assumes angels) need to have patience with each other. It's a goal that benefits them both, Neither of them are intending to kiss anyone else so it works in their favor. He won't ever know if she's not the best kisser he's ever had. Well, she's got a vested interest in keeping him fueled up. She's a little fa. fascinated by her own ability to make his heart pound like that. She nods at his response. "Right. The movie," she agrees then reluctantly unwinds herself, sliding back over to her own space. It's highly unlikely that this will be the last kiss attack tonight."You should eat," she tells him, taking a bite of her own pasta. "It's good."

[weirddreams]

The fact that Sam could come back to Itinere and not be himself is very much why their lives are crazier at home then they are here. Everybody will be relieved to see that he isn't soulless or possessed by Lucifer, Meg, or Gadreel upon his return.

That's such a deep way to think about it. Sam could learn a thing or two from Ruby's perspective if she's willing to continue to teach him in indirect and direct ways. There is absolutely not no bone in his body that has any intention of kissing anyone else while she is the light in his eye. It should be a well known fact by now that he has energy like a Duracell battery after eating rather than at any point where it's close to time a to refuel. His heart pitter patters just by looking at her, nodding. Yeah. The movie. He slinks back into the couch before leaning over to grab the closest thing. "Right. Food is fuel." He watches her take a bite of the pasta first then has a spoonful from his. "It's something I helped make up."

[peaceonearth]

Things are practically normal here in comparison, even with the age switches.

She's lived a very long time. It changes a person's perspective. She'll be glad to continue their studies. He's a good student. She knows, more than he, that he will kiss many other people, but she's okay with that because at least when he's here he's got no desire to kiss anyone else. She likes her little Duracell battery. She mock gasps at his comment. "You helped make it up and it doesn't have a single drizzle of chocolate syrup or a gummy bear?" she teases him. After all, the things they made when he was here as a kid were always loaded with sugar. "Careful. Pretty soon it'll have kale in it."

[weirddreams]

He'll take age switching over possession any day.

Maybe they could start with something less orthodox with how he doesn't realize sex brings out his powers. He might be able to handle that he is different if she told him. In steps. Their studies should return to learning to use them one way or another. Ruby will still be the only girl he's ever kissed that is an expert. Her mock gasp prompts him to turn a little red. "Well, no... But you can't microwave gummy bears without a huge mess either. Chocolate syrup on pasta would taste like puke." Oh, he doesn't realize his taste buds are already vastly improving. However, Kale is still pretty out there and his face wants to look at her like she's crazy. "Don't even joke about that. How do I know kale wouldn't taste like puke too."

[peaceonearth]

Ruby will as well. At least Sam is still Sam regardless of his age.

They've got a plan then. He's special, unique and gifted, but yeah, she'll try to explain it to him. It might make it easier to know he's got demon blood in him now that he has accepted her. Well, see has learned how he likes to be kissed. "Hmm, yeah, neither of those sound appetizing," she agrees. His taste buds are maturing and it's interesting to Ruby to be able to be a part of that. "I wouldn't say puke, but bitter...like you think anything that green and leaf looking would taste."

[weirddreams]

So if he's special and gifted, does that make her a natural? Seems like something to distinguish between here. It probably would be easier to explain that he has demon blood in him now rather than before. At the very least it would explain much, including why he feels there is something similar about them. Bold kisses are generally the best kind. "I thought you would agree," he nods because she accepts this knowledge. He's clueless that there's anything to be a part of but happy with her desire to know more about him and his reasoning. He considers what kale would really taste like with Ruby's instinct on the matter. "Okay, maybe... But I think it'd taste like grass. Something like celery is more preferable with peanut butter."

[peaceonearth]

Well, she is a full blooded demon so...yes? In time, he'll probably be able to feel her close by the way she can feel him. His kissing preferences have been noted and filed away in her head. There's a lot that Ruby doesn't know so she'll often accept Sam's knowledge as truth. She wrinkles her nose at the celery and peanut butter comment. "You can have the celery.," she pauses, "and the peanut butter. I don't like the way it sticks to the roof of my mouth or my tongue."

[weirddreams]

The feeling that she is close by may already be there when he is normal but it could be something he imagines too. Sammy has the same sort of feeling, in his head or not. He is just learning these things for himself so she shouldn't accept everything he says when it comes to what he thinks. She can tell him more about herself or test things out. His eyes crackle (light up) at her stuck up reaction. "It's not fun if I get by myself," he informs her (complains). "Next time we do try caramel apples or chocolate bananas. It doesn't have to be celery or peanut butter."

[peaceonearth]

It's not something he imagines, but they'll figure that out later. He needn't worry; she doesn't accept everything he says as fact. She does like to hear his opinion, his thoughts, and his interests. "I don't think we've tried caramel apples," she offers. She's not opposed to trying it. She's just not a peanut butter fan and she does only eat for the taste and texture.

[weirddreams]

Enough about him. He's interested in her interests, her thoughts, and her opinions. The second she share that they hadn't had caramel apples as a couple, he wants to be able to be first version of himself to do it with her. "Would you like to?" Try a caramel apple. "I remember the place that had them. We could probably even make it ourselves." He makes a mental note to save the peanut butter snacks for when he is alone.

[peaceonearth]

Now that he knows the truth about her, she'll be happy to share all of those things. It'd been difficult to talk much about herself when he'd only known a part of what she was. He gets a half crooked smile at his suggestion. "If you want to go now, I'll return your shirt and grab one of my own," she suggests."Otherwise, we can make them here."

[weirddreams]

She could start with her interests sometime in the future. He won't make it as difficult for her to feel heard. Well, he didn't mean now, but he also has a hard time seeing why not. "You tell me. Do you want to make them here?" Because he can probably make them, no problem. Just look it up on the internet, right. He's not in any rush for their time without eyes and ears to end.

[peaceonearth]

"I would 100 percent prefer to make them here," she tells him. They absolutely can look it up on the internet or the ITINernet. "There's the whole shirt thing...and the other people thing." Yeah, she's in no rush for their alone time to end.
