Notes: so I was reading through my unfinished Supernatural file last night and came across this. I read it and realized it was done. So, here 'tis.
You know how this ends. You always knew this is how it would end. So don't stand there and glare or pout or lecture me, because this... this is how it goes. How it always had to go.
You were always going to say yes.
You can't say no. You won't. Not to me, not about this. I won't say you were born for this, for me, for all that comes next. I won't say it's destiny and fate and meant to be, written in the stars. (It is, and it always has been, but you don't want to hear that.)
I also won't tell you that you'll forgive me; you won't. Not ever. Even when we're alone among the stars, a million eons or longer from now, you will never forgive me for this. And I'll never ask.
You won't understand. I know that. I can talk about saving the world, saving existence, but you don't care. You can't care, anymore. Too much has happened.
But some things have to happen, and some people have to do what needs to be done, and I won't tell you that you were born for this, but you were.
Standing there, eyes full of despair and rage, tears on your face, hatred in your heart, you know that this is always how it would end.
Cain and Abel, my brother said. Cain cried, too.
I was there. I was there, and I comforted Cain on those cold nights when the mark burned.
You won't forgive me, but you'll survive to loathe me for a long, tiring time.
Your brother died so that you would. (And I'll never tell you this, either, but he was born for this. To die. The perfect sacrifice.)
You say yes because he's not alive to, and that's the way it always had to go.
