back again after some time. This piece just kinda happened while listening to "river flows in you" by Yiruma. I highly recommend to listen to it while reading.

Warnigs: Dean/Sam - nothing explicit.

Disclaimer: boys don't belong to me but to Kripke Enterprises and so on. Just borrowed them for a while.

Hope you enjoy! HS

River flows in you

It's like the time is standing still while he stares at his brother in wonder. A soft breeze catches the silky strands of Sam's hair and Dean wants to reach out and touch it. The salty air of the sea fills his nostrils as he closes his eyes and lets his hand drop. His heart yearns for his brother, has been yearning for so long. But still Dean can't bring himself to reach out and take what he so desperately needs.

Sam's standing still, watching the ocean, feeling the calming effect it has on his too fast beating heart. He senses Dean's watching him, his brother's emotions radiating from him unguarded. Pained. Haunted. Scared. And above all there is so much love that Sam can hardly breathe. He wants to turn around, wants to take, needs to. But he's not sure he's allowed to. Too much has happened.

"Sammy..."

Dean's voice is hoarse, a quiet whisper and it sends shivers down Sam's spine. It sounds like music to his ears, music that is both sad and so enchanting that he can't fight the urge to turn around, showing his emotions bare and raw.

"Dean..."

The force of the emotions shimmering in the hazel of Sam's eyes nearly knocks him off his feet, but Dean's standing tall like always does. At least when Sam needs him just like that. Dean knows it then, knows what to do and that it's alright. It's alright because Sam came back to him. After all this time, Sam came back to him, because of him. For him.
His first steps are shaky but with every stride the goal gets clearer and as he's reaching out he can actually touch him. His fingertips linger on Sam's soft skin and the hazel eyes look hazy and shift from pain to relief - to pure love.

"It's okay, Sammy. I'm here..."

Sam shivers and his breath hitches in his throat as the music that is Dean's voice fills his heart and soul. A trembling hand follows the one already on his face, covering it and he can hear Dean sigh. A tear slips from his closed eyes because that sigh is so heavy and Sam just wants to make the pain go away.

"I'm not leaving Dean." he whispers and draws another sigh from his brother's lips. Sam knows when he opens his eyes he will see the love shining in those emerald depths, because he can feel it deep inside his soul. "Not ever again."

Dean's lips tremble as Sam feels them on his own and he can taste salt and despair and love. "I promise." he whispers against the soft skin and he can feel strong arms around his body, pulling him close, keeping him from falling. With every touch, with every kiss, Sam grows stronger and he knows that this time it's going to last. When he finally pulls away, not too much, just so their noses almost touch, Dean's tears are gone and so are his own. There is wonder in those green eyes and something that is so beautiful that Sam starts to smile. Trust. Deans's trusting him again. Finally.

When his brother starts to smile it shoots right into his heart, filling it with sunshine that he thought was long gone. His heart swells and even if it never can be as bright as his little brother's, Dean's smiling back.

The sun slowly sets, disappearing in rays of red and gold but for them it never stops shining from within. They found each other. They will hold onto that. They will never let it go again.

The wind is playing softly with Sam's hair and Dean's fingers run through it, knowing they will never stop touching that silkiness again. Because that's all they ever wanted.

Reviews would be so so kind. Would make me very happy. xo HS
