[ Give him ten and he's gonna show up with a pie box in his hands and a grin on his face; he's proud of himself, he finally has a freakin' kitchen )albeit a small one) that he can put to use instead of making do with shitty motel burners and gas station burritos. ]
[David is, as promised, up on a stepladder with a duster in hand when Dean shows up, heralded by the tinkling bells over the door.]
Wow. You give the Jimmy John's guys a run for their money. [a pause.] I just realized I never asked specifically where you're from? I just assumed my Earth. Jimmy John's is a sandwich delivery place.
Okay, um -- yeah. I know what Jimmy John's is, had it a bunch. They deliver on bikes, it's kinda cool except most of them are teenagers who don't know what the fuck deodorant is.
Oh. [A pause, where David is embarrassed about having over-explained sandwich delivery, and then he shakes his head.] Well, good. Perfect. Anywayβyeah. Pie.
[He accepts the pie, lifting up the lid as he eyes Dean with something like impressed written across his features.] Oh, hello. Um, Brownie Points, this smells heavenly.
Right? My whole place smells like pie now, and I couldn't be happier about it. [ he is so fucking pleased with himself. ] Got some forks somewhere in this fancy place, Givenchy?
[That's kind of adorable and David has to repress the sudden, saccharine urge to ruffle Dean's hair. God, who even is he?
He gives them both a good-sized piece and immediately forks into it, mouth watering. He has to sniff it first, because he's got a ~refined palate~, but he doesn't wait much longer to eat it, and his shoulders sort of melt as he gets a mouthful of pie.]
[ It's a joke, mostly. He wouldn't mind doing it as a side hustle while working in a garage somewhere, though. Dean's Pie Shop and Garage. Has a ring to it. ]
Hell yeah, success. [ Because -- yeah, it's delicious. ]
You'd have at least one enthusiastic customer, [David quips, forking another bite into his mouth.] God, cheese and apples is such a good combo.
[Reluctantly, he sets his plate down and leans back against the cash wrap. He tilts his head at Dean, giving him an expectant look.] What else have you been doing, besides baking up a storm?
Right? Just kinda came to me - but it turned out really well.
[ He's still shoveling pie in his mouth when he's asked, so he swallows like a normal person and gives a little shrug. ]
Not much, honestly. Just getting the lay of the land, figuring out what to do here, snagging some 'dates' every now and then. [ insert finger quotes. thanks cas ]
I'm a big fan. [David sighs as he goes in for another bite, like he's really being burdened with this. His gaze cuts sideways, a smirk playing around his mouth.]
'Dates,' huh? Good for you, making friends. Anyone cute?

[ an - y - way. ]
Uh, here -- pie. I was just experimenting, it's apple cheddar; never tried it, sounded good. I didn't get to bake a lot. But I guess I don't have anything better to do here.

Oh, I have forks. Wait here, I'll be right back.
[He sets the pie down on the cash wrap and disappears into the back room; when he comes back he's got two paper plates and two plastic forks in hand.]
I didn't peg you as the baking type, [he remarks as he begins carving out slices for the both of them.]
no subject
Yeah, no one does. But I raised my little brother, y'know? I picked up a few things. Just never had an opportunity to do it.
Or a stove.
