Summary
Prompt found at http://hoodie-time.livejournal.com/393050.html?thread=5087322#
Dean is at Stanford checking up on Sam. He stops in a bar on the way out of town thinking that since it's a school night, Sam can't possibly show up there. Of course, he does.
Sam invites Dean to sit with his friends and tries to keep changing the subject to topics he thinks Dean can handle (cars, movies, etc). One of Sam's friends is a big jerk and turns the topic onto something academic. To everyone's surprise, Dean is able to not only keep up but he wins the debate.
Sam is surprised, Dean's hurt that Sam thinks he's stupid.
