I FOUND IT
Fast Car
Dean Winchester x Female Reader
Summary: The three times that Sam watched Dean and Y/N sing along to one of their favorite country songs and the one time he didn't.
TW: Pre-established relationship, fluff, dancing, kissing, marriage and children.
Sam sat at a small table in the corner of the crowded country bar as he looked through news stories on his laptop. They had just finished a case in Oklahoma and Sam had the responsibility looking for their next hunt.
He looked up from his screen, eyes quickly finding his brother across the bar. Dean's hands were resting on his girlfriend's hips, holding her close as they sang along to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.
"You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living."
Dean pulled away slightly, taking her hand and spinning her around with a wide smile. She laughed, leaning into him as he pulled her back in. Y/N had always loved country music and she had been slowly expanding Dean's musical inventory to include her favorite songs.
Fast Car had quickly become their song and they couldn't go on a road trip without playing it at least once. Sam couldn't bring himself to be annoyed because of how happy it made his brother.
How happy Y/N made his brother.
They were perfect together and there would always be a part of Sam that hoped to find a love like that again after he had lost Jess.
Dean's hands slid from her waist into the back pocket of her jeans as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
There was something almost sad about the song, it was something that he and Dean would probably never be able to experience.
A simple life.
Settling down and starting a family.
And Dean deserved it more than anyone in the world.
...
The impala sped down the highway, the music was blasting and the windows were rolled down. Sam sat in the backseat, staring out at the vast field that ran alongside the highway.
The summer air was hot and the roads were empty as they drove back to the bunker after a successful hunt.
Y/N was in the front seat, body turned towards Dean as they sung along to the song.
"So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone."
Dean looked over at her, watching the wind blow her hair around as he drove. His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her over to his side before his eyes returned the road ahead of them.
Sam watched them for a moment, smiling to himself as Dean drummed his hand against the steering wheel to the beat of the music.
Y/N turned her head, pressing a kiss to Dean's cheek. He smiled, thumb stroking across the material of her t-shirt fondly.
She rested her head down on his shoulder, hand resting on his knee as she listened to him sing along to the music.
...
Sam made his way down the hallway towards the kitchen after his run, glancing at his watch with a frown as he paused in the doorway.
Music was blaring from Y/N's speaker as her and Dean moved around the kitchen making breakfast. Y/N chopped up strawberries on a cutting board while Dean flipped a pancake in a pan with bacon crackling away on another burner.
Dean suddenly turned towards his girlfriend, using the spatula as a microphone as he sung to her.
"You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs."
Y/N smiled widely, abandoning the knife on the cutting board before singing the next line into the spatula. Dean reached out and grabbed her hand, spinning her around before pulling her back against his chest.
Y/N laughed, hand resting on his forearm as they swayed together. Dean spun her back around before releasing her with a wink.
He turned back to the stove, flipping the pancake before sliding over to his girlfriend and pressing a kiss to the back of her head. His hands found her hips before pulling her away from her cutting board and into his arms. Dean spun her around in his hold, taking her hand and wrapping his other arm around her waist before guiding them in a few practiced steps. He held her close to himself, singing along loudly before pulling away and spinning her around.
Dean pulled her back against his chest, pressing a kiss to her temple before sweeping her back into their dance.
They glided around the room, he spun her a few more times before wrapping both of his arms around her waist and pressing his lips to her's in a gentle kiss.
Y/N's fingers tangled in his hair before they reluctantly broke apart and returned to their tasks.
Their relationship almost seemed effortless to Sam.
It was almost like everything else faded away when they were together. It was the purest form of love that anyone could hope to find in this messed up world.
...
Dean turned off the television, tossing the remote aside with a sigh, "Nothin' on, buddy," He muttered, looking down at the Terrier mix who blinked up at him from the floor. Dean grabbed his phone from the coffee table, clicking the power button and feeling relieved when he didn't see any notifications on his screen.
Sam was supposed to come over for dinner to see some of the renovations that Dean had done on the new house. Dean still couldn't believe how many changes had occurred in the last few years.
Dean had made the decision to leave hunting behind and finally made a life for himself. Sam was finishing up a quick case a few states over before going into his own version of hunting retirement. They had both given so much of their lives to hunting and now it was time to live for themselves.
Dean looked over at the bookshelf, his eyes finding the stereo sitting between the books. Dean stood up, making his way over and turning on the power. He flipped through the channels, quickly turning up the volume when he heard the familiar tune start.
"No way," He muttered.
"So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way."
He straightened up with a smile, "Baby, c'mere for a minute," Dean called. Y/N made her way into the living room of their home with their daughter held against her side.
"Is that-?" "Yeah... I thought that maybe my two favorite girls would wanna dance," He said.
"Of course," Y/N smiled.
Dean carefully took their daughter from her arms, cradling her in the crook of his arm before holding out his hand.
Y/N rested her hand in his, gold wedding band catching the soft afternoon sunlight pouring in through the window.
She wrapped her arm around him, smiling down at their daughter as he guided them around the living room. Dean carefully spun his wife before drawing her back in, singing down to their daughter as they swayed together.
This was the life he had always wanted and now he had it.
His beautiful wife, his baby girl, his brother, a house and the dog.
Dean never would have thought this kind of life would be possible for him and now he couldn't dream of living any other way.
He had everything he could possibly want and he was finally happy.

Hey there!
I am a huge Sam girl and I was hoping you could write a nice fix for us wherein the reader gets badly hurt on a hunt but doesn't tell the boys and later passes out on Sam in the bunker. That's when they find out and both the boys panic especially Sam but take good care of her to get her to recovery. Reader recovers physically but mentally she's got a bit disturbed and gets a bad panic attack but Sam helps her through it as well and then it's all fluff in the end maybe? Pretty please! Also, I love your account!
A/n: This is literally so cute, Iâve actually thought about this before! There have been a few times where Iâve been very close to fainting, so I based this off of my own experiences. Thanks for the idea, I hope you enjoy! Also, for the sake of this imagine/os, Samâs room is near the library because my dumbass forgot he sleeps in a whole separate hall lol.
Warnings: Fainting, mentions of slight head trauma, worried Sam, Sam daydreaming about you in his bed (If you really squint)
Funnily enough, Dean was the first to notice something was wrong. The way you slowly swayed side to side when standing, before bracing yourself on the countertop you stood by. His eyebrows furrowed as he watched you, nonetheless, he continued to shove another handful of frosted flakes into his mouth.
It wasnât until Sam entered the room that you began to feel really spaced out. He laid a file and some newspaper clippings on the table in front of Dean, turning to you to go over new information about your current hunt.Â
âI think we might be dealing with a Berserker,â He stated, opening the folder to further explain.
Dean set his box of cereal down, brushing the crumbs off his hands. âFantastic, because I know exactly what that is.â he replied sarcastically, Sam rolled his eyes and held up his hand as if to say Hold on, Iâm getting to that.
You stepped away from the counter, standing closer to Sam as he proceeded to explain. You felt nauseous, opting to stay silent as you felt talking would only make it worse. As he went on, you felt a head rush creep up on you, your vision going blurry before becoming completely clouded.
Dean watched you rock to the side trying to keep your balance, again.
You turned your head, pretending you were able to actually see Sam when you turned to look at him. He hadnât yet clued in to the near blank expression on your face, not until he turned to face you as well.
Your face went white as his voice began to sound muffled, you could almost make out his faint, âYâokay there, hun?â
You blinked, barely making out a response before stumbling forward and dropping in his arms, Sam quickly catching and holding your limp body upright against him with a small stumble.
âWoah, hey- hey!â Dean jumps up from his seat to grab something, anything, really. He spins and paces around the floor, realizing now that heâs up and about⊠he has no idea what the fuck heâs looking for. Sam turns his head, frantically looking at him before rolling his eyes. âAnything with salt or sugar, Dean.â
Dean speed walked around to find something to get your blood sugar up, while Sam carefully lifted you up and carried you to his bed. Itâs the nearest one, he thought, might as well lie her down as quickly as possible, thatâs all. He'd be lying to himself if he said he didnât get some form of butterflies at the thought of you sleeping in his bed, but thatâs beside the point.
He laid you down as gently as he could, trying not to fall on top of you out of nervousness in the process. He sighed, brushing his hair back from his face before shaking out his blanket and laying it over you.
You stirred a little bit before waking, slowly blinking your eyes open to find yourself in bed. Sam stepped into the room with a glass of water, setting it down on the small table beside the bed next to a bowl of dry frosted flakes and extreme cheddar Goldfish (courtesy of Dean Winchester). You rub your eyes with your knuckles, feeling your head pound until Sam flicks off the light.
âBetter?â He sighs a little, you nod and wince.
âWhat happened today?â Samâs voice was soft and quiet as he knelt down beside you, his hands resting on the edge of the bed. You bring your fingers to the bridge of your nose, pinching it lightly to relieve the pain in your head. Sam gave you a pained look before reaching his hand up to feel your forehead, which was a tad warmer than it normally should be.
âWhatever that⊠thing was, when it threw me, I mustâve hit my head harder then I thought.â You sigh, âI threw up when we got back, âbeen dizzy since we lost it in the woods.â He shakes his head, sighing.
âWhy didnât you say something?â He rested his hand on your knee, running his thumb back and forth ever so slightly. A blush creeped itâs way across your cheeks, his touch sending butterflies straight to your stomach. You hope he doesnât notice.
You hastily shake your head, âI didnât wanna worry you guys, orâŠâ Your hands tangle back into your hair to massage your scalp a little. âI âdunno, bother youâŠ?â
He chuckles at that. âHow would that be a bother?â You scoff, rolling your eyes at yourself. âI âdunno, sometimes I just feel in the way, I guess.â
Sam tilts his head before shaking it softly, hand moving to take hold of yours. âYouâre not in the way. Not at all.â He frowns a little at your way of thinking. He knows you donât mean to feel so negative, but he feels bad knowing they may have made you feel that way.
âIf we, or I, ever made you feel that way, I am so, so sorry.â You lazily nod, looking down.
He tilts his head down, moving lower to find your eyes. He grins when that pulls a giggle out of you, âI promise you, âkay?â He says through a chuckle. You nod your head with a little more enthusiasm, though still trying to avoid any further pain in your head.
âThanks, SammyâŠâ You address him by his nickname for the first time, which was always said to be reserved for Dean, and Dean only. Instead of protesting, Sam simply brushes the hair from your eyes, smiling sweetly. âOf course, darlinâ â he whispers before standing up.
âYou wanna come out and laze in the library for a bit, or do you wanna sleep in here?â Sam secretly hoped youâd pick the latter, as he was just fine with you sleeping in his room, and maybe even sharing a bed with him for the night. Just in case you need help during the night, of course.
You hesitate to answer, your injury somehow giving you the confidence to ask: âCan I do bothâŠ?â
Sam quickly nods his head. âYeah!â He clears his throat, âYeah, thatâs fine,â He watches the smirk appear on your face, you find his caring and somewhat nervous demenour sweet. You nod in response.
He helps you to stand, guiding you back to the library. You slump into the seat, all of you continuing your prior conversation (much more quietly, as itâs highly possible itâs a concussion youâre dealing with). Dean chucks a pair of sunglasses at you after you complain about the bright room for the third time, and you all sit around each other, cracking jokes the rest of the night when you should be focused on research. Sam is much more protective of you for the next little while during your recovery, and neither of them allow you to join them for this hunt until you feel better again.
Youâve never felt more cared for than you do right now, with them. Youâve never felt more at home.

admit it -
pairing: sam winchester x reader
summary: samâs sleep schedule finally catches up to him
remiâs notes: i had sassy, early seasons sam in mind while writing this so you should too even though the plot doesnât match <3 anyways enjoy loves ! (-2 degrees celcius is close to 28 degrees in freedom units)
You had advised him to wear a jacket. It was raining, and -2 degrees outside as you trekked through the forest in an attempt to retrace your steps and find where the Impala was parked. You had gotten lost after the hunt for the burial site of an angry ghost. Usually Dean was pretty good at remembering where he parked his beloved car, but it was dark when you arrived and this forest was much bigger than anticipated. At the sound of sniffing behind you, barely audible over the twice-echoed sound of leaves crunching in your path and rain thudding on the forest floor, you stop and turn to Sam. He shoots you a glare.
âDonât look at me like that. Iâm fine. And rain canât even make you sick,â he says in response to your stare before continuing to walk past you.
âSure, rain canât make you sick. But being cold and wet for prolonged periods of time can. Weâve been out here for an hour. And you donât get a healthy amount of sleep, which can put you at risk for illnesses,â you reply, paraphrasing the article you had memorized just for this occasion as you catch up with him.
âI get plenty of sleep. Trust me, Iâm not sick.â
Dean then looks back to you both, shaking his head in annoyance.
âYou two are being a real help here.â
Sam rolls his eyes.
âDo you even know where weâre going?â He asks, narrowing his eyes at Dean.
The older Winchester stops and turns back, looking offended.
âOf course I know where weâre going!â
You both stop as you reach where Dean stood, eyes peering through the curtain of rain over the river that stood before you, to the trees that stretched for acres. The sun was rising over the tops of the woods.
âHere,â Sam says, sniffing between the actions of reaching into his pocket and then handing Dean a crumpled map. Dean groans, throwing his hands up before snatching the map from him.
âYou had that this whole time?â He asks rhetorically before unfolding the map and turning to face the forest. Sam leans over his shoulder, before turning sharply into a forceful sneeze. Both you and Dean turn to stare at him. Sam wipes his nose as heâs met with both your looks, Deanâs grimace and your amusement. He frowns irritatedly before waving it off.
âIâm fine. Figure out where we are, Dean.â
Dean shakes his head, gazing back over the map.
âI think that weâre here,â he accentuates with a jab to the river on the sodden map, âso that means that we need to go that way.â
He gestures up a soft hill and begins walking again, you trailing behind and Sam bringing up the rear. You fall into step beside him, lumbering along in Deanâs wake. Up close you could see the dark circles under his eyes, the undeniable consequence of his sleeping habits. Hell, none of you had gotten good sleep in a long while. But you knew Sam had it the worst. Occasionally youâd hear his low-voiced discussions with Dean, spoken in low voices when they thought you were out of earshot. It wasnât that he didnât trust you, not at all, despite the teasing and the way he seemed consistently annoyed with you. He hated talking about his dreams, feeling like he was burdening someone with his own issues. Even with Dean he struggled. Youâre interrupted of your psycho-analysis of Sam as he realizes youâre staring. Again, but this time he could see the subtle concern in your gaze. It bothered him.
âWhat?â
âNothing,â you say, shaking your head as you turn back to look ahead. You recognize the pullout a few feet ahead, where Dean was already brushing leaves off the Impala. Youâd never been happier to see that car, and Sam seems to have a similar sentiment as he sighs in relief.Â
The ride back to the bunker was quiet. Dean was too tired to put any music in, and the rain had quieted to a gentle tapping on the hood of the car. Cas was waiting when you got back, offering a quick congratulations on your success with the ghost before baiting Dean into another hunt. Sam had relentlessly tried to convince all of you that he was functioning as usual, that he could go with Dean and Cas. He was soon after proven wrong by the violent sneeze that followed. So now it was just the two of you, and Sam had locked himself in his room with a box of tissues. All the better for you. It wasnât like you wanted to listen to or take care of an irritated, fever-ridden Sam. Youâd offered him some tea to help with his throat before he left to sulk in his room, which heâd accepted begrudgingly. He still refused to accept the fact that he was ill. You had attempted to research for long enough, disrupted in your focus each time Sam came in or out of the kitchen. You finally decided to check on him, whether he liked it or not.
âSam? I have soup,â you say through his door, bowl in one hand and the other on the knob.
âI donât like soup,â he grumbled hoarsely from the other side.
âToo bad.â
You push the door open, receiving a huff from him. He was laying back, four blankets over his lap and a fan pushing cold air towards him from a few feet away. Empty mugs littered his bedside table, along with a bottle of aspirin and a half empty pack of cold medicine capsules. A few tissues had been balled up and tossed around the trash can. You held in a snicker.
âOh, how the mighty fall,â you quote. Sam sighs again, exasperatedly. You set the soup (mushroom) on his bedside table before turning to the TV.
âLove Island? Seriously?â
He furrows his brows at your judgement.
âItâs really not that bad. I mean, obviously itâs fake, but itâs somewhat entertaining. Better than a Gilmore Girls marathon, I guess.â
You shrug, picking up tissues and tossing them into the garbage before gathering the mugs, Sam watching your tidying carefully.
âYou really donât have to do that,â he says, turning the volume down on the TV.Â
âItâs fine,â you reply, carrying the stack of mugs out of the room, when Samâs voice stops you.
âCan I⊠have more of that tea that you made earlier? Please,â He asks. He much preferred coffee over tea, but ever since you had made him earl grey, (with a bit of milk and honey) it had become a quick favorite.Â
You turn and smirk.
âYou like it?â
âItâs not bad,â he said, shrugging.
Your smirk remains as you walk to the kitchen and set the empty mugs near the sink, setting the kettle back over the stove. For some reason, you were happy he liked your tea. And that he wasnât being as stubborn as usual. You had been slightly caught off guard with his change in demeanor, from constant irritation to a⊠softness. After a few minutes of breathing in steam, the kettle whistles, announcing that it was finished boiling. You pour the water into one of the only remaining clean mugs and follow the routine of what youâd made before, when a shadow moving in the corner of your eye almost causes you to knock the still-hot mug over. The thing coughs roughly and you realize who it is.
âJesus!â You say, steadying the mug.
Samâs eyes meet yours, expression shifting from hard-set to attentive, brows furrowed slightly in concern.
âDâyou need help?â He asks, taking the mug and holding it in his hands, looking down into the swirls of milk in the dark like he was searching for an untold prophecy. You watch in amusement as he sips the tea, making a face as it burns his tongue.
âItâs hot,â you add, smiling as he scoffs and sets the mug aside.
âYou need to get back to bed.â
He rolls his eyes.
âWhat, so I have a curfew now?â
There goes soft, polite Sam. You sigh. This was going to be a long night. You usher him back to his room and somehow convince him to even take more medicine. He lays back on his bed, observing you as you lean in the doorway.
âYou just going to stand there?â Sam asks, raising an eyebrow.
You shrug.
âI can leave. You need to sleep anyways.â
âIâm not tired.â
You roll your eyes, when a grin starts to spread across your face.
âYâknow, I donât think that Iâve ever seen you get sick. Between the awful crap you come into contact with and your sleeping tendencies, youâd think there wouldâve been at least one instance. But no. Somehow you avoid any illness. Howâd you do it? Bribe a god? Is it something in those so-called âhealth shakesâ of yours? Honestly, itâs a medical mystery. You should be studied.â
Sam listens to your slight ramble, face growing more and more skeptical.
âThose shakes are actually good for you,â he replies.
âOut of everything I just said, thatâs what you choose to defend?â You say, resisting the urge to scoff.
Sam rolled his eyes.
You look him over for a moment, before walking toward the desk cot pick up the few newer balled-up tissues.
âSeriously though, you should at least try to get some sleep now. Even if you donât want to. And, youâre probably too fatigued to dream-â
As soon as it slipped out you knew you shouldnâtve said anything. Sam looks to you as soon as it comes out, narrowing his eyes.
âLemme guess: Dean?â He asks, irritation flooding his tone.
âNo, no. Iâve heard you talk about them. With Dean. I wasnât trying to eavesdrop, I swear,â you add, âbut Iâve heard enough.â
Youâre both quiet for a moment.
âYou could talk to me about them, Sam. If you wanted to. My opinion of you wonât change,â you say, voice much lower than it was before.
âYeah, I know. Itâs just not your problem,â he says, sucking in a breath.Â
You sit down in the chair, facing him but avoiding his gaze.
âIt can be our problem. All of us. This is really corny, but youâre not alone, Sam. Really.â
He sniffs.
âThat was corny,â he agrees, laughing and then smiling slightly, âbut⊠thanks.â
The lamp light cast shadows over his face, and you could see the dimples of his genuine smile. You suddenly wanted to kiss them, a thought that you tampered down.
âHowâre you feeling?â You ask, leaning forward to press the back of your hand to his forehead. He looks surprised, eyes flicking up to yours. They stay there, his lips parted like he was going to say something but never does. You smile, having the notion to just go for it.
So you do. You kiss him. And it isnât rushed, or passionate or lustful or anything of the sort. Itâs just a kiss, but it means so much. Finally feeling comfortable. Safe. Needed. He goes rigid for a moment, before finally catching up and kissing back. His lips are slightly chapped, but also soft. A vague comparison skitters across your mind, something about him being rough around the edges, but itâs lost as you kiss the sides of his lips, his dimples as he grins into you. Then he grabs your shoulders and pulls back slightly, breathlessly, still smiling.
âFantastic⊠thatâs how I feel. But also- sick. And I donât want you to-â
You laugh, âOh, so now you admit it?â

âËâč⥠in a week | sam winchester x reader
based on the song in a week by hozier
a/n - iâve been wanting to write this fic for SO long and i know itâs kinda short but iâm happy with how it turned out!! in a week is my favourite hozier song and honestly one of my favourite songs of all time and aaagh i just had to write something for it, i hope you like it!!
cws - fem!reader, 1.4k, character death, fatal injuries, blood, process of dying, hurt/comfort, mentions of heaven
other fics can be found on my masterlist
ËËË â
ËËË
Sam knew as soon as he hit the floor that he wouldnât be getting up again.
It was strange, how the cold of the air made his blood seem almost hot against his skin, staining his rapidly paling flesh with a deep red heâd seen far too many times it was a wonder it hadnât become his favourite colour. His favourite colour was actually green, natural and calming, far from the monsters and grime of his day to day life, closer to the comfort of his brotherâs eyes and his own whenever he looked in the mirror and knew that he was okay. The damp grass beneath him was green, and though he wasnât okay, having her at his side somehow made it all alright.
There was blood on her too, not too dissimilar to his own injuries. Theyâd both been in the clutches of death far too many times for the feeling of the tiredness that had started to cling to their bones not to be similar, but it was the first time Sam had ever felt comfortable over the whole thing.
With her laid at his side, it felt almost peaceful.
âCome here, sweetheart,â his arm lifted to tuck around her and that was enough for him to wince at the movement through he just grit his teeth through it until her body was pressed up against his, slotted together amongst the damp grass and the flowers of the early spring nature. âThatâs it, there we go.â
It had been a while since theyâd both gotten to the floor. There had been a silent understanding in the fact that neither of them would return to their feet, that they would spend their final moments by each others side with the bugs and the dirt. Sam could list numerous times that he had been fearful of her life, had done everything he could to save her, because he simply couldnât live without her, couldnât let her die alone.
Bodies held against each other, blood mixed and soaked into the earth, they werenât alone.
âStars are out,â her voice trembled, far too breathy, but she still sounded so pretty. The same voice that whispered in his ear to wake him up and the last thing he heard before he fell asleep. Sam had always admired foreshadowing and the beauty behind it. âLook, itâsââ her breath stuttered on her next inhale and his hand easily found hers, cold skin pressed to cold skin, clinging with what little strength they both had, a silent comfort, encouragement. ââitâs Orionâs Belt.â She finished, and though Sam couldnât quite make out the individual constellations through his blurred vision, he was happy to enlighten her regardless.
âItâs pretty,â he murmured, blinking up at the beads of light that blurred and warped in his vision, before his head tilted to look at her instead. Even as his vision broke down slightly, he could picture her features. The shape of her nose, her lips, the colour of her eyes, eyelashes that tickled her cheeks as she blinked or laughed or smiled at him. It was enough to bring a smile to his face and he leaned in to kiss her temple. âYouâre so beautiful.â
Her breathing hitched, a wet catch in her chest, and he didnât need to see the tears in her eyes to know that sheâd started crying. Sam had known her for so long that she had become a part of him, her soul intertwined with his in golden string, so he knew all of her mannerisms and sounds. The tears werenât for panic or pain, something closer along the lines of contempt, tears that settled with acceptance.
âI love you,â the words practically heaved out of her chest and her fingers trembled in his as she struggled to tighten her grip much. He had felt in real time as the strength in her body bled out along with the crimson that stained her clothed and skin. It would have been frightening if not for the way his own strength had left him, evaporating with every heavy exhale. âSam, Iââ another struggled breath, another significantly weakened squeeze to her hand. ââyouâre my home.â
Sam didnât realise that his fingers had started going numb until he lifted his free hand up to cup the side of her face, a cheek usually flushed with colour now just paled hidden beneath his palm as he held her. And despite the way his vision blurred, with tears that time, he smiled at her. It took a lot more effort than he liked though he leaned in and pressed his mouth to hers, lips soft and shaky breaths as he kissed her, pouring all of his affection and feelings into her mouth along with their last kiss. âI love you.â
When Sam laid back against the grass again, he knew he wouldnât sit up again.
There was so much he could have said, so many words and kisses he could have given her in that moment, but as he glanced down at her once more, felt the heaving of her chest with each breath, it all felt unspoken. He was comfortable to lay at her side, he felt loved. Sam had often wondered over the years how he would finally be taken out, but in the arms of his lover in a field of grass under a pretty sky was better than anything he could have imagined. He couldnât have pictured a calmer or more secure way than sealing his last breaths in the touch of his lover.
Their flesh was colder, paler, and if he had the energy in him he supposed he would have started shivering. The night was cold, a remainder of the biting winter freeze that was slowly being melted by the spring. Whenever the sun came up everything would warm, though Sam wasnât sure if heâd see the next sunrise. His heartbeat was slowing, he knew hers was too.
âIâll find you,â he promised softly, words more breath than voice, blinking through tears that felt hot on his cold cheeks as he struggled to squeeze her fingers. âIf we donât get there together Iâll find you, honey.â
A soft sniffle at his side. âYouâd better, Winchester.â
Sam smiled, wet and shaking, tears fell when he couldnât squeeze her hand anymore.
He supposed that it would take some time for them to be found, in a week or so. The field wasnât really near anywhere populated. Theyâd be accustomed to the local wildlife and the bugs in the ground before their bodies were discovered, but there was a comfort in knowing sheâd be at his side through it all.
Hours, they must have laid there in each others arms for, or years, Sam couldnât really tell. Her hand was still tucked away in his by the time the sky started to glow orange and it made him smile softly, a final sunrise. Theyâd spent countless mornings on the road or on cases together, stole small moments away to appreciate the sight.
âLook, sweetheart,â he breathed, a struggle in itself to tilt his head towards hers. âLook at that.â
Only once heâd blinked through the film of tears the sight of her eyelids instead of her irises was unmistakable. Curled into his side, her hand tucked into his, she looked like she had done every morning at his side for the better part of his life. Only she was cold and pale, and her chest wasnât moving anymore.
âHoney?â
She stayed still, a perfect imitation of beauty at his side, tucked amongst flowers and green grass, she looked so pretty.
The sound that left him was wet and shuddery, though somewhere in his mind he was thankful that she had left first, she could hold the door open for him.
With what little strength he had left Sam curled on his side, her body completely pressed up against his as his head dropped, forehead pressed to hers, hand still and discreet in hers. A deep breath left his lungs, and they didnât expand again.
Their bodies were found in a week, at home with each other amongst the flowers.

That was absolutely unhinged of me and I wish I followed through

DUDE
my boy only breaks his favorite toys â sam winchester
cw : gn!reader, angst, canon typical violence, injuries, knives, non-sexual partial nudity, guilty sam, rejection, talk of death/dying, sort of a case fic at first, mentions of stitches, lots of feelings, poorly edited & my first(?) attempt at a full angst fic lol (no happy ending!), set in season 5, so some spoilers, 10.6K words. listen to my boy only breaks his favorite toys by taylor swift. requested !
summary : you get injured and sam realizes heâs more scared of getting you hurt than he is of anything else, even losing you and your love.
to be in love is the strangest experience. to be in love for a long time, for years on end with little to no reciprocation is even stranger.
somehow, you can watch him fall in love with someone else, kiss somebody new, romance another girl, and be blindsided by a fourth. jess you could never be mad at. she seemed too sweet and good for sam, for you to dislike. madison never did anything wrong either, but you did hate how much she unintentionally hurt him. sarah, too, was sweet and brave and helpful and she made him smile. that, of course, didnât stop you from wanting to be that person instead, but you didnât feel like you could complain.
ruby, you still feel rightfully angry with sometimes. for samâs sake, you wanted her help to be real and true, but it felt clear to you from the beginning that not everything was right. now youâre dealing with the apocalypse and samâs guilt that you alternate between wanting him to let go of and wanting him to feel it just a little bit longer.
besides, jess and madison are dead, so itâs unkind to be too jealous of them, and youâre sure that sam hasnât spoken to sarah in years. and rubyâs dead too, so she doesnât pose a threat any longer.
itâs all been so strange, because youâve seen sam go through it all, kiss them all, love them all in some way or another, and youâre pretty sure all itâs done is make you love him more. at this point, youâre sure that youâll never love anyone the way that you love sam. unceasingly, ardently, passionately, and for now, quietly.
but after the knowledge of the looming apocalypse has come the strangest part of it all. having loved sam since he was seventeen and secretly doing everything in his power to get away from this all, you know him and each of his mircroexpressions and tones of voice all too well. and these days, sam looks at you in ways that youâve never noticed before. these days, sam looks at you like heâs trying to figure out if heâs in love with you.
itâs not as if youâd given up hope completely, because no one whoâs as in love as you are ever will, but youâve learned how to live with unrequited love. the pain can be stabbing and all-consuming sometimes, but itâs survivable so long as he doesnât stop smiling at you or letting you rest in his lap or being the only one to call you a special nickname. even if youâre not the love of his life like he is yours, youâll always mean something to him as his closest friend.
so now, it catches you off guard when sam looks at you as if heâs considering the possibility that youâre the one who hung the stars up in the sky or talks to you with this gentle joy thatâs just somehow different from before. those moments are rare, but incredible to have when you consider the looming apocalypse that sam is blaming himself for. heâs battling the fact that heâs supposed to be the vessel to the devil himself, but he still finds the time to hold your pinky finger for a fleeting moment and not say a word about it. and now, sam does that thing where you say something and it makes him smile, and instead of casually holding your gaze like he used you, his gaze will falter and heâll tilt his chin down and lick his lips as if heâs suddenly shy around you.
last night, dean was out and you and sam were researching for the case youâre working on. you ended up sitting side by side on your shared bed, trying to get comfy as the hours dragged on and the moon moved higher through the sky. completely unprompted, sam had lifted his arm up and around your shoulders, using his gentle hand to cup the side of your head and bring it to rest on his wide shoulder.
your heart soared and you did your best to keep researching, but the lull of his breathing and the clacking of the keyboard as he typed one handed sang you to sleep right then and there, tucked all cozy into his side.
you waking up in his arms certainly set the tone for today. this case is ugly and there was another victim last night, but sam has this sweet, touchy air about him. as you walk to the crime scene his hand lingers unprofessionally close to the small of your back, and from the tightness to his lips, youâre guessing that heâs holding back from saying something he knows will make you laugh.
you resist the urge to give him a secret smile, soft and loving because youâre selfish enough to try and get him to see that you want him like this. you want him to see that you already love him back, and all he has to do is let himself fall. but you donât want to overwhelm him, so you go about assessing the crime scene and interviewing the witness like heâs your fbi partner and not the person you love most in this world.
the witnessâs statement along with the security camera footage that dean saw at the police station confirms that youâre up against a shapeshifter. much like the first one the three of you hunted together in â05 it seems to be disguising itself as a loved one before killing its victims.
âthis thing can shapeshift to look like literally anybody, but it canât come up with something original?â dean jokes.
sam shrugs in his usual sam way. âwell, it is an effective method,â sam reasons, despite knowing that deanâs just making fun. samâs not even looking at dean; his eyes alternate from checking his computer screen where he scouts out city plumbing maps to find the best places in the sewer to look for the shifter, to letting his eyes roam over your features. you wonder if youâll have to get used to sam staring at you as much as you do him. though, you canât say that thatâs a bad thing by any stretch. maybe heâll finally notice the way that you look at him and maybe heâll finally realize that it might be you who heâs been loving this whole time.
sam stands from his spot across from you, grabbing a map of the city from the bedside table. instead of returning to his original spot, he slots himself right next to you to lay the map out on the table. he runs a hand along the length of it, crossing your chest and brushing your nose with the fabric of his flannel before moving his hand back to rest right beside yours on the table top. he leans over the map and you tilt youu head to look up at him as he points out the most likely spots that the shifter could be hiding out at. you only pay half attention as he speaks, more able to take in the sight of his lips moving than the actual words that theyâre forming. youâre not uncareful, you just know that sam will make sure you and dean remember the most important things when you get in the car.
â
âare you sure splitting up is a good idea?â sam stresses from the passenger seat of the impala.
âwe know how to test for the shifter and we all can take care of ourselves,â dean says, repeating just about the same thing that he said before.
you lean forward in your seat. âweâll be fine, sam. i agree, itâs not ideal, but thereâs a lot of ground to cover and we canât let the shifter get to anyone else,â you reason.
âi know,â he huffs, still unconvinced due to the possible dangers. but, thereâs always danger, and if youâre siding with dean, he knows he doesnât stand much of a chance of winning the argument anyway.
â
the sewers are dark, damp, and smell like shit. they grow even darker as the sun begins to set above ground and youâre grateful for the bright flashlight that you have on hand. youâve been tramping through the dark and sewer waste for over an hour and heard nothing helpful from the boys.
you keep your silver knife at the ready, in case you run into anything or anyone. you all agreed that if you see each other, the very first order of business is to test yourself with your own knife to be sure. when you hear footsteps, you immediately press yourself against the wall, doing your best to stay hidden until you can see whatâs heading your way. the second you see a personâs frame, you immediately recognize it as sam. he told you that youâd probably run into each other at some point, so you relax a touch. even so, you keep your knife in front of you as you step into the pathway.
âsam?â you call out, stopping a good length away from him.
âhey. yeah, itâs me,â he says, holding out his hand and knife to show you as he slices a thin line across his forearm. you sigh in relief, then quickly repeat the action to confirm to him that youâre you as well.
âyou heard from dean?â you ask, closing the space between the two of you. sam meets you halfway, shaking his head.
ânothing,â he sighs, turning back where he came from.
âdamn. an hour in the sewers and weâve got jack,â you frown. âexactly how i like to spend my friday nights.â
âcourse it is, itâs the perfect date spot,â he jokes back, leading you left, down a new path you assume he skipped on his way over to you.
âmmm, does that mean weâre on a date, winchester?â you flirt. he takes the quip with composure as you step back into a main hallway, wide enough to walk side by side. he waits for you to be next to him before he continues. he didnât even laugh a little awkwardly at your comment like he normally might. he must be in a flirty mood.
âif thatâs what you want,â he flirts back, flashing you his gorgeous grin. the passage is still sort of tight, so his knuckles continually brush against the back of your hand, and the fabric of his jacket rustles against yours.
âbeing a flirt today, are we?â you tease, maybe pushing the limits a little.
âjust for you,â he fires back, and that just about stuns you into silence. heâs in an awfully good mood for someone stuck hunting a killer in the sewers under an unfamiliar city. you nudge him playfully with your elbow, not even sure how to respond with words. so with that, you fall into a comfortable, familiar silence, the only sounds being the echo of your sloshing footsteps through the sewer.
out of boredom, sam teases you with his pinky finger, sticking it out and poking your hand with it. you push back gently, playing along. he escalates the game by poking your side. you giggle a little, swatting at his big hand.Â
âstop that!â you whisper-shout. âwhat if the shapeshifter comes along and weâre too distracted because youâre tickling me?â his proximity, his flirting, and his goddamn smile are already distracting enough.Â
âi wasnât tickling you, just poking,â he teases, but doesnât do it again since youâre right enough.
âyeah, you said that last week after you did that. it tickles, which means youâre tickling me,â you retort before letting the silence fall over you again.
you head down a narrow path, forcing sam to walk behind you. even then, you can feel his closeness. a minute later, you step out into a wider area where a grate lets in a stream of moonlight. sam comes out after you, stopping by your side. the moonlight casts a glow on his face and, like you always do, you canât help but think about how pretty he looks, even after a long hour and counting of traipsing around in a sewer. continually, even in the more open space, he stays right by your side, close enough for your elbows to brush.
âthink we should call dean?â he suggests, âregroup, maybe call it a night?â
you tilt your head to the side in acknowledgment. âtempting,â you respond, âiâm getting hungry. letâs at least call him, then go from there.â you step further into the space in fron of you, trying to escape the chilly draft coming from the narrow pathway you came in from. but the floor in here is slicker than you realize, and you slip embarrassingly hard, completely losing your footing and letting out a short gasp as you fall.
samâs instincts are impeccable as always, and a strong arm wraps around your waist before you can fall too far. once youâre steady, sam doesnât move to pull you all the way up and onto your own feet. he just keeps you dependant on his hold to stay off the slippery floor and brings his other hand to meet the one wrapped around your side. he looks down at you, half of his face illuminated by moonlight, the other half fallen into shadow. you stare right back up at him, flustered but too happy for any sort of such purposeful physical contact with him to care about that.
it feels like a movie with you in his arms like this, willingly stuck there by the both of you. then he leans down closer to you and your eyes widen. in the partial darkness, he looks at you like heâs no longer just wondering if he loves you, more like he knows it for sure. he looks at you with such unabashed love, so overwhelming in a way that you hadnât expected from him for a long while, if ever. you think that for sure heâs going to kiss you, and you know even better that youâd let him without a second thought.
this certainly isnât how you imagined itâd be at all. not this soon and not in the middle of a sewer system, surrounded by awful smells and an unpleasant humidity. you suppose that the moonlight filtering down is nice enough, and that youâd never expected anything grandiose or overly romantic with him anyway.
then you hear footsteps, and a split second later, your name being called in samâs voice. only it wasnât the sam holding you who said it, it was someone behind you. it only takes a millisecond for everything to click. this sam, the one holding you close, cut himself with a knife you recognized. thatâs why you didnât bat an eye, but you failed to remember that that particular knife of samâs isnât made of silver, just a weaker and ineffective metal alloy.
before you can process it, that exact knife is being plunged into your gut. you let out a strangled cry of pain.
sam, the real sam, shouts your name again and you think you hear his running footsteps until he stops dead in his tracks when the shifter yanks the knife from your stomach and puts it to your throat. you cry out again, choking a little on your own breath as you stretch your neck, trying to see your sam.Â
but the shifter presses the knife down, drawing a line of blood on your neck and growls, âlook at me. youâre going to watch your precious little sammy as he slices your throat.â
you can imagine sam putting his hands in the air, mouth open and ready to talk the shifter out of it when you hear two loud gunshots, and youâre dropped to the floor, too shaken up to break your own fall. your head hits the ground hard, and the next thing you can register is sam again. you get his voice and his hands, one sliding under your neck to cup the back of your head and the other pressing hard against your wound. he winces when you grunt in pain at that, but keeps his hand in place.
âhey, hey. stay with me. look at me, câmon.â his words are followed by your name, said in a sweet and desperate sort of way. youâre still dazed, but your head begins to clear up a bit. above you, samâs face is pinched in worry, so much more worry than youâd expect him to express because of something as easily fixed as a measly stab wound.
itâs not completely inconsequential and itâs bleeding a whole lot more than youâd like, but youâve dealt with this sort of thing and worse before. sam will stitch you up and youâll be as good as new in a few days. even better, cas might come around soon and heâll fix it right up for you.
ââm fine, sam,â you grumble as dean drops down by your other side.
âshifterâs dead. we should go,â he says, more to sam than you since heâs clearly the most worried out of you all. dean places his hands on your arm, ready to help you up, but sam just pulls you into his arms and up against his chest. he stands and you wince from the pain of the movement, but relax a little seconds later. you expected to limp out of this nasty place, one arm slung around each of the boys as they do the heavy lifting but keep you on your feet. it seems sam wonât risk even that; he needs you closer, more protected, and in less pain.
dean leads the way to an exit, climbing up the ladder first and opening the heavy grate. only when you urge him to does sam let you down. he knows that he canât carry you up, but he sure would have liked to. instead, he has to settle for lifting you as best as he can, his strong hands never straying from you until theyâre on your ankles and deanâs got you, pulling you up the rest of the way and letting you lean on him until sam reappears.
the fresh air is amazing to breathe in and to feel on your skin, but what youâd most like is to be laying in bed after a long, hot shower. and to not be in quite as much pain. you sigh into deanâs jacket, and just a second later heâs shifting you back into samâs waiting arms. he doesnât sweep you up this time, but he keeps you steady while dean jogs off to get the impala and bring it to you. with strong hands, sam eases you to the curb on the side of the road and wraps his arms around you, keeping a wide palm pressed against your wound to staunch the bleeding.
as you wait, sam is silent, and not in the soft and comfortable way he often is around you. youâre sure that heâs got a million things to say, not all of them 100% fair to you and all of them completely worried.
and thereâs just so much to say that he canât choose, and he thinks that, for your sake, he should hold back. sam knows he can get a little too angry sometimes, and youâre bleeding badly with your face smushed unattractively against his shoulder and he knows that this isnât the time. he shouldnât yet interrogate you about what happened or tell you aloud that heâs overly worried about you because suddenly heâs feeling things for you that he didnât realize he was feeling before.
you let him brood in silence, and though this is just about the closest physically that youâve been with him today, he feels sort of distant and unreachable. it pains you.
when dean arrives, sam loads you into the car, piling into the back seat after you to give you a shoulder to lean on. you can feel deanâs eyes on you as he glances back through the rearview mirror, and youâre sure that he too wants to ask what happened, how the shifter managed to trick you despite the rules youâd set.
âdean, we should head to the hospital,â sam says, his voice cutting into the tense silence of the car. you shake your head weakly.
âno, sam. iâm fine, seriously.â
âno,â he counters, âyouâre bleeding a lot. weâre going to the hospital to get you some real stitches.
âyour stitches work just fine,â you argue, your words half lost in the fabric of his coat.
âand what if you need more than just stitches? we canât risk that,â he presses, and you know heâs not going to give up.
âsammyâs right,â dean piles on, and you sigh, then wince in pain. you donât even grumble out an annoyed, âfine,â and instead just like the silence take over again as a begrudging relentment.
When all the doctors do is give you a few stitches and an iv and let you out just an hour later, you resist the urge to say âi told you so.â but really, youâre glad for the professional help, knowing that, though you still feel like shit, youâre far better off than you wouldâve been if youâd gone straight back to the motel. the car ride is quiet, but you know that youâre due for a bit of an interrogation when you get back.
tonight, dean starts it, because sam is practically brooding in the corner.
âso, you gonna let us in on what the hell you were thinking back there?â he asks, sounding ready to just about throw his hands up in the air. âdid you really not follow the single rule we set? it almost got you killed.â
âi know, and i did,â you sigh, âbut it tricked me. it had one of samâs knives and it cut itself and i wasnât paying enough attention to realize it wasnât one of samâs silver knives. it was a damn good actor too,â you explain. dean clenches his jaw, probably looking for some other point to make. these winchesters never know when to stop arguing. âweâve all been tricked by shifters before. it happens, i messed up, you saved my ass. thatâs all.â
you guess deanâs not in as much of a fighting mood as you thought, because he just shrugs. âyouâre damn right about the ass saving part.â
you crack a wry smile, âguess itâs my turn to save your ass then.â
âonly thing i need saving from now is that sewer stench. so i will call first dibs on the shower.â he leaves no room for argument on that front as he disappears into the bathroom. only then do you glance at sam, wondering if heâll say something. his expression has got so many emotions swirling around that itâs almost unreadable. but youâre you, and you know him and love him in a way that nobody else does, so you can decipher it all pretty well. thereâs anger, like always, probably targeted at the shifter and a bit misplaced in you for getting yourself hurt. then thereâs guilt, because, in classic sam fashion, he likely thinks that itâs his fault.
youâd put the pieces together a bit ago in the hospital. the red marks above samâs eyebrow and around his wrists and the shifter having samâs knife and appearance tells you that the shifter got the jump on sam. it probably hit him over the head, tied him up, and stole his knife after stealing his appearance and accessing his memories. and though you can know that itâs clearly not samâs fault the shifter got to you, heâll still think so.
heâs thinking that because the shifter got the drop on him, you got hurt. heâs thinking about how trusting you were because it looked like him, about the position he found you in, and though he couldnât see it, he knows the look you were giving his lookalike. heâs sure that it was that syrup-sweet, honey-dripping-from-your-eyes look that heâs been all too aware of and all too fond of these days. and because of that, it must be his fault.
on top of that, he feels like he was the one to do it. you got hurt by something with his face. you were almost killed and the last thing you would have seen would have been a cold, dark smirk on his face as he killed you. that thought pained him more than anything he could express.
you, of course, donât yet understand the full depth of his guilt, but it bothers you anyways. you wish that sam could stop blaming himself for everything bad thatâs ever happened when all heâs ever done is try to be good. while in the midst of wondering if you should speak first, interrupt his self-destructive thoughts and tell him itâs not his fault, he beats you to it.
âyou shouldâve been more careful.â his voice is unexpectedly hard and cold, devoid of his usual guilt and gentleness. tonight, heâs more focused on his anger. and of course, you know itâs because of that guilt that he lashes out, but it hurts nonetheless. even so, you want to soften him and get him to open up, so you apply the opposite tactic as him.
when you speak, you let your voice be full of emotion, of sincerity and gentleness and understanding. âi know, sam. iâll pay more attention next time, i promise. but iâm okay.â
this catches him off guard a bit. normally, when he targets misplaced anger at you, you fire back and tell him how stupid it is that heâs trying to blame you. he already knows itâs stupid, and your soft eyes make him even more guilty. itâs not as if heâs being just as silly this time, but your approach works, a little.
sam does soften a bit; you can see the slight change in the way that he holds his shoulders, but itâs not enough to get him to admit that heâs just worried and blaming himself. all you get is pursed lips and a tight brow. he just canât get over the image of himself plunging a knife into you, canât get over your cry of pain or the feel of your hot and sticky blood seeping through the cracks of his fingers.
samâs realizing that, for all the countless times youâve come close to death, this is the first time since heâs started to think that heâs most likely in love with you. and that, more than anything else in the world, not the literal devil or the apocalypse or whatever, is the scariest thing that samâs had to realize and endure in a long time.
now, sam canât run from being luciferâs vessel. even if he never gives in, he has to confront it and fix it somehow. he certainly canât run from the apocalypse, or the world will end. he canât have that, not when the world is you. itâs his responsibility. sam canât run from those things, but he sure as hell can run from the way he feels about you. and heâd do that because he canât afford to be in love with you. you canât afford for him to be in love with you or for you to be in love with him because it seems like thatâs already gotten you stabbed by a hand that looks just like his own. and all thatâs happened between the two of you is playful flirting, sidelong glances, and shared smiles, so he canât imagine what might happen if things go an inch further than they already have.
he got jess killed, he hurt you bad with ruby, and though sarahâs still alive as far as he knows, he attributes that to the fact that sheâs far, far away from him. not to mention the people he loved like family who are dead because of him too. thatâs another horrifying thought because even if sam didnât love you the way that he does, heâd surely still love you some other way.
so, samâs going to run, samâs not going to let you any closer, sam is going to keep you at an armâs length. heâll stop looking at you like he wants you, heâll stop hovering so near, heâll quit his goal of making you smile or laugh at least three times a day, and heâll do everything he can to make sure you donât love him too much. he canât let you tell him you love him, he canât let you confess because heâll be too far gone if he hears that come out of your mouth. heâs gonna run because heâs decided with horror and glory all at once that yes, he does love you, and thatâs the worst thing he could do to you other than slit your throat with his own two shaking hands.
from where you sit, just feet apart, you can see sam grow more and more distant by the second. you canât figure out whatâs going through his head, but youâre sure you wouldnât like it if you heard him say it aloud. you open your mouth to say something to him, get him to say something back, but you canât find the words. anything you come up with gets stuck in the back of your throat before you can even make a sound.
sam looks at you, just for a fleeting moment thatâs too fast and slippery for you to grab hold of it. his eyes hold regret, like heâs done something that he canât take back, and he doesnât like what heâll have to do next in order to keep the consequences at bay.
then his eyes are gone from yours, along with that strange look, and youâre suddenly at a loss of how to reach out to him. it hurts because you know that what it will really take is time and patience, maybe more than he deserves.
you barely notice the time passing, but you watch sam take deanâs place in the bathroom and you can feel deanâs eyes on your back. youâre sure he can feel the shift in the air. when sam returns from the shower, you realize just how badly you want to get clean. you walk to the bathroom and feel a little lucky when you find a small plastic tub to fill with soapy water. you canât take a real shower for the sake of keeping your stitches dry, but youâll be damned if you canât get that sewer stench off of yourself. when you bend to place the tub at the bottom of the bathtub, you grunt audibly in pain due to the movement. you sort of expect sam to come running to help like he always does, already surprised that he didnât offer from the start when you told the boys you were going to wash up.
apparently, dean had expected the same; while heâs more than happy to be the one to help you, sam almost always beats him to that sort of thing before he can even try. you glance through the open door and see dean looking from you to sam, back to you before he stands from his bed in a rush.
âhey, hey, whatcha doinâ all that by yourself for? canât have you busting any stitches, we paid for those,â he jokes, already in the bathroom with you by the time heâs finishes talking.
âpfft, yeah with stolen credit cards,â you retort, without actually resisting his aid. he takes your place by the faucet, nudging the bucket under it and turning on the hot water. youâre lucky that the shower doubles as a small bath, meaning you can easily sit in it alongside the bucket and just wipe yourself down without getting the floor wet.
you sit on the closed toilet seat as dean fills up the bucket, adds some soap, and mixes it around a little.
âwant me to help you in?â he offers.
âmm, are you trying to see me naked?â you poke fun.
âand if i said yes?â he jokes back.
âthen youâd never see the light of day again,â you threaten, already moving to slide off your jeans, with a bit of a struggle. deanâs strong hand immediately finds your elbow, holding you steady. youâre not worried about either brother seeing you in just your underwear. with the life you live, stuck in motels, or getting hurt in less than ideal spots, theyâve seen you that way plenty. and while dean canât hold back from a lewd comment or two, he completely respects you and views you like another sibling. he helps you with your shirt too, as lifting your arms up proves even more painful than youâd thought.
dean kindly sets a folded towel down on the bottom of the shower bed for you to sit more comfortably, then helps you ease in. then heâs grabbing two clean wash rags, dunking one in the water and handing the other to you.
âtry and keep those stitches as dry as you can,â he instructs, and you oblige by placing the dry rag over your covered wound. âweâll change the bandages when youâre done.â
âmhmm,â you nod, âthank you, dean.â
ââcourse, kid. you want me to get your back? or i can send sammy in to help instead,â he offers, saying that last part loud enough for sam to hear. you glance out the open bathroom door only to catch sight of samâs back as he heads for the outside door. he moves out of your line of sight, but you can hear the door being open and shut behind him. you sigh in disappointment and a bit of hurt. dean curses lightly under his breath and you suddenly feel awkward and ashamed for no practical reason. but dean knows that sam isnât being as good to you as he should, so heâs being extra nice instead.
âif youâ if you could do it that would be nice. thanks,â you frown, then try to fix it with a strained smile. when dean is done, he hands the damp cloth to you, and you thank him again quietly.
âjust holler if you need anything else,â he reminds you before walking out, leaving the door open by just a sliver.
you carefully wipe down the rest of your body, relishing in the heat of the water and the feeling of being just a little cleaner. youâre slow about it, letting yourself savor the alone time and telling yourself that you wonât worry about the events of the day until tomorrow. during the time that you clean yourself, you hear the outside door open and close twice more, and you assume samâs come back and left again. by the time youâre done with the soapy water, itâs gone lukewarm, but youâre successfully feeling much more relaxed.
âdean!â you call out, hoping heâll come and change the water for you so that you can get rid of any extra soap suds still lingering on your skin. thereâs no reply for a long moment. âdean?â you call again. âcan you help me again?â
without a word in response, you hear footsteps, then the creak of the bathroom door. instead of dean, you find sam poking his head into the room.
he clears his throat awkwardly. âdean left to get some more food. i can, uhâ i can help.â
âoh, okay,â you smile at him a little, then feel sort of pathetic because of the hope that rises in your chest. you force your voice into nuetrality. âthanks, sam. i, uh, i just need to dump this out and get some new water. itâs just sort of heavy.â
âright, yeah. of course.â sam enters the room fully, filling up the small space with his tall, broad frame. when he gets close, you extend a hand, silently asking him to help you stand first, despite the fact that you could do it yourself with the help of the wall. but sam canât very well deny you, so he obliges by grabbing your hand and placing the other around your bicep to hoist you up. his strong hands and arms pull you up easily, and help you back onto the tile floor. you feel the tickle of a rivulet of water run down your right leg, then a few more on your left. sam dutifully pulls the towel you were sitting on out and hands it to you before he dumps out the soapy water and turns on the faucet, checking the temperature before letting it splash into the bucket
you stand there in silence, watching him work, watching him keep his eyes averted from your almost naked form, watching him struggle with being so close to you.
âthere,â he says simply when heâs done, grabbing the towel from you and placing it back on the bottom of the tub. once heâs eased you back down to sitting in the shower, he straightens and takes a step backwards towards the door. but he canât just leave, not like that. âis there anything else you need?â
you think youâre allowed to be a little selfish sometimes, so you say yes. âuh, yeah. could you, uhm, could you just wipe down my back? i canât tell if thereâs still soap on it.â sam almost tells you that there isnât and just walks away, but he caves to you and the look in your eyes.
he looks like heâs not sure if he wants to stiffen and close himself off and do it in silence, or soften and open himself up to being gentle with you. it seems heâs unable to treat you too coldly, no matter what sort of fear or silent commitments to staying clear of you heâs made.
ââf course,â he agrees after a moment, getting down on his knees, pressed right up against the wall of the bathtub as he takes the wet rag from you and dips into the newly hot water. he keeps his eyes trained on the skin of your back, and you keep yours to the plain white surface of the tile wall in front of you. his hand is as gentle, warm, and encompassing as you know it to be. of course, heâs trying not to touch you directly, keeping most of his hand covered by up the cloth. but the motel rag isnât a generous size, and his hands are, so the base of his palm or the pads of his fingertips keep brushing against your cool skin. heâs hot in comparison to you, as per usual.
the task doesnât have to take long at all, but sam must be having trouble parting from you now that heâs back and so, so close. so, he takes the rag across the whole expanse of your back more than once, applying a gentle pressure that soothes and relaxes your still tense muscles. only once heâs heard a sigh of satisfaction leave your lips does he bring his hand away from you.
thereâs a few more moments of quiet, only punctuated by the sounds of lightly sloshing water as he dips the rag back into the water, then squeezes it out so that itâs not too soaked for your next use. he hands it to you and asks, âanything else?â without getting up or even glancing at the door like he wants to escape. he lets himself look at your face for a moment, before tearing his gaze away once more.
you shake your head lightly. âthatâs all. thanks.â
âmhmm,â he nods, âtell me if you need me.â thatâs not how he meant to say things, but itâs how it came out anyways. and oh how you wish to tell him, i need you. he wants to hear you say it too, until he remembers himself and the fact that heâd cave if he did. and he canât cave, not ever, not even if you told him that you need him. these days he feels like he needs you.
âokay.â you wait for him to leave before you put your attention back on yourself. when he closes the door behind himself, you heave out a deep sigh, then yawn, suddenly hit with a wave of bone-deep exhaustion. you make quick work of wiping off the rest of your body and brace yourself on the wall to stand. youâre not sure you can bear being stuck with sam in such close proximity again tonight, so you dress yourself with just a bit of trouble and leave the tub of water alone for one of the boys to take care of tomorrow.
when you leave the bathroom, deanâs still gone and samâs laying on his bed. you almost tear up at the sight of him, tucked tightly into one half of the space and his back so purposefully facing your side of the bed. upset with this small cruelty, you climb into deanâs bed instead and fall asleep on your back before you can even change your bandages.
â
last night you caught sam reaching for your hand. he was motioning with the hand further from you, distracted as he complained about something dean said earlier. you glanced down for no particular reason and a movement caught your eye. his unoccupied hand had drifted closer to you, reaching out seemingly on instinct, as if walking next to you should mean holding hands with you. quickly, you looked away, and you never felt his hand even brush past yours. but you heard the rustle of his jacket as he moved, the pause in his words, and the shift in tone when he finally continued to speak. you donât think he knows that you noticed.
and the day before that, he gave you this dazzling smile and didnât even think twice about it. sometimes heâll smile at you wide, and the pretty look on his face will be ripped away as if heâs had some horrible realization that smiling at you is somehow a sin. but this last time, the smile faded naturally, untouched by the overbearing hesitancy he seems to have kept clutched in his hands for the past few weeks since that night with the shapeshifter.
thereâs this constant push and pull coming from him that you canât quite wrap your head or heart around. many days, heâs distant and thatâs it. all you get is talk of cases or how to stop the goddamn apolcalypse. other days heâs able to be decently normal; heâll joke and chat a little and youâll get a glimpse of your sam. and some days he just canât stay away, like thereâs this tug pulling him to you thatâs too strong to resist. it calls his hand towards yours, his eyes all over your face, and his body to stand right by you. those days he canât cover up any sort of longing gaze and heâs stuck staring right at you and missing you more than he ever imagined heâd have to.
you suppose you prefer the in between days, because theyâre the closest to the sam that youâve had by your side for so long. theyâre closest to the sam thatâs your best friend, the sam who didnât know he loved you yet. those are the days you can most easily pretend that something isnât wildly off about you and him, because dealing with unrequited love has sort of become your norm. and while the days he canât hide that he feels more for you are a desirable confirmation that thereâs some part of him that canât resist you, theyâre also a painful reminder that itâs not quite enough to keep him from distancing himself.
and lord, it just hurts so much when one of those sweet days turns sour. youâll feel at ease, hopeful and glad for the dayâs luck, when suddenly the good day has turned too good or one of you has laughed too sweet and loud because of the other. at that, sam will instantly pull away as if itâs dangerous to be happy together. you can see his eyes change from content because of you to tortured because of you and all you want to do is take him by the shoulders and shake him hard. then mostly likely kiss him hard too, if you can get him to come to his senses.
of course, thereâs that never ending love. you really donât think you could stop loving him if you tried with all of your might. but thereâs certainly anger. each day that passes by, you become angrier and angrier with him, so frustrated with him and his stupid decisions. with too much time to think about him and his odd behavior, you feel nearly sure that heâs just plain old afraid. of losing you or hurting you or some other classic, stupid reason and frankly, itâs completely unromantic. itâs making you feel like youâre losing your mind.
so when sam takes today, a half-normal day where you donât feel the weight of his hesitance bearing down on you, and he snatches that away with a simple, closed-off expression, you feel far too fed up to just let it go.
deanâs off at some bar and though his support in your argument might helpâbecause youâre almost positive that dean is on your side and is getting nearly as frustrated as youâyou need to confront sam alone first.
you let silence reign in the motel room until samâs done showering and about to settle into doing a bit of extra research before heading to bed.
âsam,â you start, already cursing to yourself when he looks at you without any of his usual eagerness to hear you talk. youâre sure he can already tell that youâre displeased from the way you said his name. âwe have to talk.âÂ
his jaw clenches and he glances down at the closed laptop in front of him. he contemplates how to answer for a moment. âi should really check for any signs of lucifer. we havenât gotten anything new in weeks, weâre bound to catch wind of something soon.â
your anger flares, but you tamp it down in favor of keeping this conversation as civil as possible. an angry you plus an angry sam never ends well, and youâre determined to make yourself heard before either of you walk away in frustration.
âno, sam. donât ignore me. i know that you checked during lunch today, so it can wait until tomorrow,â you counter.
âthis is important, you know that.â his voice is so flat and emotionless and stubborn and so unlike him that it hurts.
âit is,â you agree, âbut you already checked today, so iâm asking you not to make excuses and listen to me, sam. itâs not that hard.â you bite your tongue, almost wishing you hadnât made that last biting comment because you know itâll just antagonize him. but you also know that your anger is warranted.
you can see sam realizing he canât get out of this conversation in the way that he purses his lips in frustration.
âiâ yâknow, iâve really tried to give you time.â you donât wait for him to really look at you to start. âwe all need time sometimes, but itâs not fixing anything. youâre not⊠youâre not trying to fix anything, it feels like.â
he wonât even look at you when he talks. âwhat do you want me to fix?â
âthe way youâre treating me!â you say, indignant and raising your voice a little, unable to hold back. âyouâ i donât know, youâre acting so strange! likeâ like one second youâre normal. normal sam, my best friend sam. and then you act like you donât want me around. like youâd rather be stuck in the car and motel rooms with anyone else in the world but me.â only once you start talking do you realize just how much you have to say. itâs not just stop acting this way, or letâs talk about it, itâs so much more. so much that you need him to hear and to understand.
your voice quiets again. âyou know, once, you told me that i was a god-send. that, that you can put up with all this shit because we get to do it together. itâs always been you and me! of course, itâs always been you and dean, but sam! weâre best friends,â you say it more like a plea than a statement. âyou used to say that. then it got to the point where it felt like we didnât even have to say anything at all. we just were. it used to feel like youâd do anything for me, just like iâd do for you. i never even questioned that, not once until ruby came along. even then, i knew it wasnât you. not an excuse, but i knew, once she was gone, youâd figure it out again. just like always. we always figure it out. so why, why for the love of god are you not even trying?â your own words hit you like a wall of bricks. when things happen, when things go wrong, or you donât understand something, youâve always figured it out together. what youâre supposed to do is voice your concerns to the other and usually without saying the words, ask for help. this time, sam wonât share the burden with you, wonât attempt to figure it out with you even when it so clearly involves you.
sam opens his mouth to speak, and at least heâs looking at you now, but you wonât let him say a word yet. heâll shut you down, and you canât have that.
âwhy do i suddenly feel so stuck? i feel like thereâs nothing i can do, like youâre slipping away, right through my fingertips! and thatâs just the strangest feeling when, for the longest time, i was convinced that youâd be the one constant in my life. i really, really thought that way, sam. and i get that iâm biased and blinded by my own feelings, i just never imagined that youâd do anything like this, pull away so suddenly and quickly and adamantly like itâs your lifeâs mission to put a bulletproof wall in between us. so, i guess at the very least, iâd like a bit of an explanation as to why you donât want anything to do with me anymore.â
your question hangs in the air, heavier and more smothering than a water-soaked wool blanket. you suppose you could keep talking; youâre not anywhere near out of things to say, but you need him to respond. heâs the one letting the silence take over, not you. he takes a deep breath, like heâs known heâd have to explain eventually, but would never be the one to willingly bring it up.
he answers plainly, almost honest. âitâs safer this way. itâs dangerous for you to be close to me.â you want to scream because you were right. you wouldâve loved to have been wrong, for him to have magically had some good reason for all this. but in the end, it has come down to the evils of the world pressing down on a good man and that good man caving to believe what the evils tell him he is. you want to scream because sam is wrong. being close to him feels like saving grace.Â
heâs not cursed, heâs not the cause of all the pain and death that rains down on the people he loves. and what about him? what about all the pain and death that rains upon him? where does he get reprieve, an apology for being singled out and tossed through all of these horrors by unexplainable forces? why canât he blame god? why canât he see that itâs not his fault?
âthatâs not true,â you beg, âand itâs not an excuse to treat me like shit.â he looks away, a physical manifestation of the fact that he doesnât want to admit that youâre right about at least that.
âiâm not trying to⊠to hurt you.â sam face just falls. he looks devastated. he wasnât trying to hurt you, in fact, he was trying to do just the opposite, but it happened anyway. âsee?â he pleads, desperate for you to understand, âno matter what i do, being around me is hurting you. i canât keep putting people through that.â
âso what? youâre gonna pretend to hate dean too?â you counter.
sam looks hurt. âi wasnât pretending to hate you. iâd never even pretend to feel that way about you, iââ he stops himself before he can say the words and clears his throat, not trying to be subtle when he changes the subject. âdeanâs different. heâs involved in all this shit too. he doesnât have a choice but to be around me, but you? you could be safe somewhere else.â
âand you think i want that? you think iâd make the choice to leave you, just to be a little safer?â you want to keep going, but he interrupts you.
âno, thatâs exactly it. youâd never leave us, and i know that. but ifâ if we stay at a distance, you might be safer.â heâs doing everything he can not to make it sound like he wants you to go. he just canât explain that the issue is that he loves you, that he thinks the solution is to stop loving each other.
âthatâs bullshit,â you shake your head. âsam, i know that you think youâre cursed or some shit like that, but itâs not true. none of this is your fault.â
âhow? how is it not my fault? the people i love die because of me, and no other reason. how is that not my fault?â he argues, desperately believing himself.
âbecause youâre not the one who killed them! you didnât make that choice. those things happened to you too, sam. how much grief and loss have you had to go through because of things you couldnât control? it was never your fault, sam.â
âand yet, if they werenât around me, they never would have died. it doesnât matter what choices i made, it was the simple act of being close to me thatâs gotten so many people killed. and i canât lose you, too. i just canât and itâs just too possible that itâll be because of me. i canât live with that. i canât let you get hurt.â this is the most raw his voice has been in weeks, months maybe even. you can see just how completely, irrationally terrified he is that heâll get you killed and youâre starting to think that heâs too far gone for you to reel back to reality, to hope and perseverance and closeness. but you canât seem to give up, still full of things to say.
âthatâs not how this works!â you refute. âthis is my life, itâs your life, our life. and whether or not iâm around you or close to you, iâll still get hurt! itâs not like iâm just going to quit hunting so you donât have to worry. so sam, you could hurt me on purpose; pull away, refuse me when you have to know damn well how i feel about you. itâs not like iâve ever really been that subtle, you were just never looking for it until now. orâ or you could do your best and if i get hurt, itâs an accident, right?â you practically beg for him to agree, for him to see that treating you this way is so much worse than anything else that could happen to you because of him.
he curses under his breath. youâre getting so close to saying the sort of words that will make his resolve snap, one way or another. he says nothing and youâre still waiting for him to understand you. so, you hit him with something even more solid and irrevocable than your logic: your love.
âyou canât seriously think that iâm going to just let things go on like this, can you? is this really your plan? to pretend we donât care about each other? to throw over a decade of friendship out the window because you think somehow itâll keep me safe?â you make sure that heâs looking you straight in the eyes as you continue, voice thick with emotion, âsam, thereâs nothing, nothing that could keep me from loving you. iâve loved you since you were seventeen, at least. i was watching you study, realizing that you really were gonna go to college. damn, i was so happy for you and i was ready to do anything to help you get there. then i started thinking about how much i was gonna miss you. wondering if maybe i could get away too. if we could get away together. the next week my dad dragged me away on another hunt and i didnât see you for a year. we saw each other nearly right before you left and i considered asking if i could run away with you. but i didnât want you to have to drag any remnants of the life with you, and i was exactly that. i wouldnât have been able to make it anyway.
âand you know, the saying that absence makes the heart go fonder, itâs not psychologically true. the more time you spend with someone, the more you get to love them. but i really felt like it was sort of true because i missed you so bad that it made me love you all the more. i tried to talk dean out of asking you to come back to look for your dad, but when i saw you again i gave up on that. i didnât care that you had had jess or that you liked madison or sarah, and sure, ruby hurt a little more than them, but no matter what, i just liked being close to you. when i saw you again, i swore i couldnât look away. and i was content loving you through looks and longing and letting you be.Â
âbut sam,â your voice cracks as you say his name and you try to swallow your tears, âthis is just cruel. thereâs not even anyone else, but you feel so much farther than youâve ever been. youâd really refuse me after you dare to give me hope that you might actually love me back? i spend far too much time looking at you to miss the way you look at me. and i love listening to your voice so much that i could never miss the way your voice has changed when you talk to me as of late. you gave me hope for just a few weeks, and now youâre asking me toâ to what?â you shake your head, not even sure what heâs trying to change or fix and how.
âyou want me to let you go? and what, thatâs it? do you want me to stick around but pretend i donât love you? orâ or do you want me to just stop loving you and you think thatâll somehow fix things? because that sure as hell isnât possible,â you look at him so carefully, so deeply as you search for an answer in his eyes. âor do you just want me to go?â
you didnât mean that question, but sam truly considers it. at first you desperately wish that you could take it back. you donât want to go, you donât think you can be apart from him like that.
but he goes and does the worst thing that he could and he tells you, âyes. you should go.â he canât even look you in the eye when he says it and you know that you with certainty that you canât stay. you canât do that to yourself, to your pride, to your peace of mind. because with those four words heâs told you that he loves you, but not enough to try.
or too much, perhaps. he loves you too much to try, because itâs him who will really be worse off if something he does gets you killed. sure, youâd be dead, but sam⊠sam would be alive and stuck with far too much guilt and loneliness and loss and greif to deal with. but if you go, then sam canât be responsible for you. he canât curse you with his love that way, so sam may want you closer to him than heâs ever wanted anybody, but he wants even more for you to go.
you want to say something awful back. i hate you crosses your mind, but itâs so far from the truth that you couldnât even say it out loud. if you did, it would still mean i love you.
youâre horrible, sam, is the next thing that falls into your mouth, but you clamp your jaw shut before those words can fall out. you donât swallow though, you let the words sit on your tongue and you taste them and consider them. because in a way, theyâre true. samâs being horrible to you. but youâre naive, and, oh right, hopelessly in love with him, which means you want to spare him. it means that you donât want to convince him further that he can never be good enough for you, because he is. he is when he isnât being like this, and if he can figure it out, maybe heâll beg on bended knee for you to come back, say heâll do anything to make it up to you, tell you he still loves you so much and he canât be apart from you if youâll let him come close again.
but youâre so fucking angry at him. youâre almost blinded with love, but not quite because you already know that those hopes of yours are ridiculous moments after you think of them. heâs burned any possibility of you and him to the ground. you know this and you know that he knows it too. you hope it haunts him forever and you donât care if thatâs cruel.
âgo ahead, sam,â you laugh humorlessly, bitterly. the sound makes him look up from the guilty hole heâs burning into the table top with his eyes. âadd me to your list of ghosts before iâm even dead, and know, without a doubt, that this time it really was you who did it. you lit the match, sam. you pulled the trigger.â he looks at you, dumbfounded as if he finally understands what youâve been trying to say this whole time but knows that heâs gone too far. once a triggerâs been pulled, it canât be undone and he knows that. that knowledge is a sort of pain that rings in his ears and swirls violently in his stomach.
you grab your coat from the hanger on the wall beside you.
âwait,â he chokes out, tears shining in his eyes. you shoot him a harsh look and he shuts his mouth. he doesnât get to say that word.
âiâll call if i figure out how to stop the fucking apocalypse. otherwise, tell dean not to call, âcause iâm not coming back.â you grab your bag from the floor by the bed and walk past him to take all the cash from his wallet. you feel his eyes follow you until you reach the door.
hand on the door knob, you turn back to him and you stare him square in the eye to be sure he can see your tears, to show him he made you cry. you wonât tell him heâs horrible, so youâll settle for a simple, âyouâre wrong, sam. youâre wrong about this.â
then you walk out the door, cursing yourself for hating the sound of him crying more than anything in the world.
