Last thing Sam remembered was the impact as the side of his face scraped across the asphalt.

When he came to, gentle fingers enclosed his face. He could feel the warm, viscous blood matting his hair.

"Sammy?" Dean's voice had that familiar edge of panic.

A fingertip soft on his upper eyelid was his only warning for the blinding light of Dean's flashlight.

"Nnnngh," Sam groaned.

Dean let out a relieved breath. "Come on, get up, Sammy. Concussion means hospital."

Sam tried to help, but his long limbs weren't responding. No matter… Dean had him.

His brother always had him.

A/n: Only thing to add: concussions suck... One way to tell if there is brain swellage is pupils. If the pupil won't constrict, there's some bruising going on up there. Hence, the flashlight and hospital trip.
