Fourth Horseman in Aquarius
Sam was sprawled out, reading the paper and relaxing after a hunt, when Dean wandered back in from the bathroom.
"There's no hot water left," Dean said unapologetically, as he pushed Sam's feet off the couch. He snatched the newspaper section Sam was reading and helped himself to his brother's coffee.
"Sheesh, this stuff tastes like pond water," Dean complained.
Sam sighed wearily on discovering he'd been left with just the horoscopes. "Aquarius: it says here you're gonna have an unexpected and unwelcome visitor in your future."
"I'm pretty sure that's all just a crock," chuckled Dean, as he took another cautious sip of his drink.
As if on cue, there were four stentorian knocks at the door.
"Don't look at me, it's your future," shrugged Sam, quite proud of himself for the quick-thinking dodge.
Putting on a brave face, Dean crossed the room and gingerly opened the door to reveal Death standing cross-armed with, even for him, a more forbidding frown than usual.
"I thought you were..." Dean gave an embarrassed cough and quickly changed the subject. "Apparently your visit was predicted in my stars," he finished lamely.
"It must have been your horror-scope," said Death through gritted teeth.
