AN: Still don't own anything but a new found obsession with this pairing.

They walked into the restaurant holding hands and smiling, John was thinking over what Jason had just said.

When Dean was a kid he used to try different ways to get John to sing.

Around the time Dean turned seven he told John that his singing helped Dean remember his mom, and after that John tried sing a lot more often, just for Dean and Sam, he never sang when someone else was around, the boys had picked up on that, and had asked him why a few times but he'd always found a way around it and eventually even Sammy stopped asking.

He was sure that Dean figured it had something to do with Mary, and had told Sam that. When Mary was alive they would sing to Dean, and later Sam to, together.

He'd always felt that Mary was the better singer, and that he shouldn't even bother, but when they were dating she decided that she wouldn't sing unless he did, and she had a beautiful voice, he loved hearing her sing so eventually , she won and he started singing for her, little bits at a time, never a whole song.

After she was killed, when Dean would ask him to sing, and he'd try to sing full songs because he'd realized both his boys slept better without nightmares when he was there singing to them at night, which he then tried to do regularly, until Sam was about twelve, when they'd grown out of wanting his help thru the nightmares, then the only time he sang was when one of them was hurt or sick, because by then he figured Mary would have wanted him to and he liked being there for them when they needed him.

Then one day both boys were sick, and Dean was hurt as well, after throwing himself between Sam and danger yet again.

Dean was passed out on one of the hotel beds and John was singing to them while doing research.

Sam was curled up in the bed reading a book, everything seemed fine but suddenly Sam was angry about something which was per usual in those days, the next thing John knew Sam was going off about his singing and yelling about how much he hated it.

And after that John stopped singing for the third time in his life.

Dean had stayed passed out during that particular fight, which John was actually happy about, kid got caught in the middle far too much, but he asked John a few months later why he'd stopped singing.

Then John started yet again this time for Dean, when Sam's not around and Dean's hurt or sick, because there was no way he'd tolerate being babied any other time.
