Summary: Sam watches Dean get sick.
A/N: This is a lead-up to Enkidu07's "Signs." It was written for the Enkidu07/Onyx Moonbeam Drabble Challenge Of Amazing. The prompt was "It comes on slow."
Disclaimer: I don't own these guys.
It comes on slow.
At first it's just spilled coffee, a nick on his chin from the morning's shave. Then the car keys hit the pavement, and Sam knows something's up.
Watchful now, he doesn't miss the dark smudges under Dean's eyes, or the way his fingers trail across his forehead at red lights, rub hard against his temples. Stray sneezes, a lean lunch, a failure to flirt with their prettiest interview: it all adds up.
When Dean forgets where the car's parked, Sam eyes his drawn face and decides the last witness can interview himself.
"Let's hit the books."
