Orange Otter Pops - Sparta Verse Question

[lovesrain44]

I had a question about Orange Otter Pops - Little Orphan Orange flavor, to be exact. In the past, in my Sparta verse, Sam has been wanting orange otter pops.

He's asked for them, hinted at them, written them in ghostly letters as a suggestion to Dad to get them when he's at the store. Readers have kindly asked that Sam be given otter pops. I have refused them because I want Sam to suffer, and not getting otter pops makes him suffer. That is, suffer more than he already is.

Here's a question: What event would transpire that would have Dad buying otter pops for Sam? Would it be as a reward? Or as compensation? Or just because John's damn tired of listening to Sam go on?

I have an idea about this, but I wanted to know what readers who like Sparta verse would think, and I want to make sure that I'm not softening the summer from hell any - but, I'd like to give Sam otter pops too.

Here's a picture of Otter Pops, in their natural form....

I know that it might be very emo of me, but the way I see John finally caving about the otter pops is to maybe overhear Sam tell Dean that he doesn't think that their father loves him. Not in a whiny teen way, but sadly detached.

Your John might not be the touchy feely type, but I could see him slipping the pops into the freezer, just as a little sign that he loves his kid, even if he has to be tough on him. JMHO.

Now that is an incredibly sad and angsty idea! And it certainly is in keeping with the general "John is guilty" theme, so thanks for your comment because it's letting me know that I'm (mostly) going in the right direction with the story. : D
