[ dean's just hanging in his room, quietly playing some vinyls on his new player and sound system courtesy of viveca. mostly just zeppelin iv, but he knows not everyone is a fan like him, so he'll turn it down a little more in prep.
and frantically straighten up and throw his clothes in his closet. ]
[ However rushed, a bit of tidying up is appreciated. Once Jim chimes on the door and Dean opens it, he steps inside with a smile, handing a bottle of some liquor over to him in way of greeting. ]
And good taste in music, too. Color me surprised.
[ He is not, in fact, surprised by Dean's taste, but he is actually impressed to see that he has actual vinyls and a player. ]
Okay, that's officially the coolest thing I've seen around here.
[ He grins, expression brightening, because music is his thing, it's kind of a passion. ]
Right? I asked Viveca for a player and a few vinyls, and she set up a whole system. It connects to me ear thing too, so it's sorta like headphones, if I want.
[ she'd really done him a solid, he can't thank her enough tbh. ]
[ Oh, Jim loves music, especially classical stuff like this. Sounds like his and Dean's tastes might actually be pretty similar too, which is great. ]
This is really nice, [ He agrees, picking up one of the vinyl covers, fingers brushing along the edge and touching the edge of the vinyl itself. ] I miss my collection. It wasn't too big, but this kind of stuff's hard to come by, in the 23rd century. I had a couple of Led Zeppelin records, too.
Think it's hard to argue with that, it was the most famous of their records. At least, that's the notion we get in the 23rd century, or the few of us who still listen to old music like that.
[ It's the kind of music he likes to listen to louder too, but for now he doesn't up the volume. He likes being able to talk to Dean. ]
Got a couple glasses? [ He says while retrieving the bottle again, getting it open. ] What other bands do you like?
I'll trust your 20th century expertise, [ He teases, waiting until Dean comes back with the glasses. He takes them with a fond little smile and a bow of his head as thanks, setting them down on the table and pouring some of the liquor for them both. Just a little for them to try first, just in case it's complete crap. ]
Mm, that's nice. I listen to other stuff too, but those are very good. You have all of those names in your vinyl collection over there? Because I might have to come by more often if that's the case.
[ Honestly, any whiskey is going to taste like a dream to Dean. He's used to shitty malt liquor, corner store garbage and Bobby's rotgut. Anything put in front of him is gonna be better than that. ]
Yeah, I do, actually. Viveca pretty much gave me everything I could've asked for.
[ How? He doesn't know. Does he care how she did it? Not at all. ]
Compared to me, you really are, [ He counters with a chuckle while sipping from his glass. It' not bad, could be a lot worse, and it's definitely real alcohol, so he'll take that as a win. ]
Mm, I will. [ His eyes flick over Dean, then he adds with a little smile. ] Last time was fun.
[ And there wasn't even any music. Just other means of entertainment. ]
I feel so dated. [ He laughs, cheeks pinking up, freckles dotting his skin. An actual grandpa in comparison - at least he knows some shit with great certainty. Like stuff on zeppelin. ]
[ He'd never really made out with a guy let alone fooled around with one, so, you know. It was a whole ass learning experience and he's pretty sure some dudes don't like that. ]
You're being too hard on yourself, here. You weren't that awkward.
[ Maybe a little awkward, but more in an unsure, inexperienced way than anything. Certainly nothing that Jim minded or that made him feel at all uncomfortable. ]
[ Dean's got plenty of experience with women, but when it comes to men he feels like a friggin' blushing nun. It may not be dumb, but he kinda feels that way. Like, get with the program, man - it's the same concept, just different puzzle pieces. ]
[ He shoots Dean a wink, tipping his head at him to coax him closer. He'll just hook one finger on one of his belt loops and tug once he's within reach. ]
And nothing for you to be nervous about, either. Experience or not, you knew what you were doing.
[ There's a teasing air to his tone, an amused twinkle in his eye as his lips curl into a pleased little smirk. He tugs Dean close enough to tilt his head just so and kiss him, a light and brief touch, though he doesn't move far when he breaks from it. ]
But that's fine. It's cute when you blush, anyway.
[ Jim does so love to get what he wants, and he looks almost like he's just won a prize with the smile on his face when he pulls away. His eyes bright with delight, they sweep over Dean's face, almost as if counting every freckle on skin. ]
Not my intention. If you don't like compliments, I can always stop.
[ Dean laughs a little, cheeks pink, but he determinedly continues on. Enjoy watching him blossom under your tutelage, Jim. He's really coming into his bisexuality. ]
Well, I was thinking you can show me a few new moves.
[ Oh, he's enjoying it alright. He's too weak to a cute blushing face like that, and there's these little dimples on Dean's cheeks when he laughs like that. He runs his thumbs over Dean's collar, giving it a slow little tug. ]
You know all you have to do is ask.
[ He's made his interest plenty clear so far, after all. He just has been careful not to make Dean uncomfortable. ]

[ Like, shit. He can't even imagine. But it's nice that it's all still around, that it's somehow survived the test of time. ]

[ He may or may not be biased but he isn't wrong, either. It was their best selling album. ]
Yeah, one second.
[ He'll rummage around, produce a set of tumblers he's snagged from the kitchen, presenting them with a little flourish. ]
I like most classic rock, I guess. Kinda grew up with it, so it sorta stuck on me. Metallica, AC/DC, Van Halen, Kansas...all the good stuff.
[ and taylor swift too but he doesn't need to advertise that to anyone other than the one person who already knows. ]

Didn’t suck, did it?

Dean. Are you kidding? It was great. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.

Not my intention. If you don't like compliments, I can always stop.

I can think of some better things to do than talk about how cute I am.
