            Dean’s whimpering again. 

            Sam flinches at the sound, caught off-guard every time. It’s just… not right, not right at all for Dean to make that noise. He’s Dean.

            The pain killer isn’t working. Sam’s whole left side aches, but he got the good part of the deal. At least he wasn’t almost shredded. He shudders at the images flickering in his brain—nightmare fodder for a lifetime.

            Dean tries to roll over and groans, lashing out at something that’s not there. Sam moves as swiftly as he can to his brother’s side. 

            He whispers, “Dean,” placing a gentle touch to Dean’s shoulder. “You’re dreaming, man. It’s alright, we’re both alright.” Not quite a lie—they’re both alive.

            Dean’s eyelids flicker open. “Sammy?” he murmurs. 

            “Yeah. I’m fine, Dean.” Sam came so close to losing Dean; he wants to shake Dean until he swears to never do something that stupid again—but it won’t do any good. He’d settle for clutching Dean close and never letting go, but Dean won’t allow that, either.

            Dean’s hand grips Sam’s wrist. “You swear?” he asks, voice less than a murmur. Dream must have been bad, then.

            “Promise,” Sam says. 

            His grip loosens around Sam and he slips back under.
