Summary: Takes place after The Magnificent Seven (but there are no spoilers). Dean's thoughts on what he wants to say to Sam regarding why he made the deal with the demon in the first place to bring Sam back (because we all know it must be something more). 100 word drabble.

I wish I could say, "I'm sorry, Sammy."

I wish I could say, "It'd be all right."

But I can't bring myself to say it because I know it won't be all right. It won't ever be all right, not as long as you live. Not as long as I live.

But the one absolute thing I could do for you, Sammy, is to defeat all the sons of bitches that escaped from hell. Kill all the evil things out there for you, Sammy, and give you a normal life to live.

That's what I want to do for you.
