Title: Glimmer In The Eye
Challenge: Glimmer
Disclaimer: I do not own supernatural. If I did the show would end with sammy having a peg leg and dean a patch over one eye.
A/N: Double drabble with extra angst for Nana56's birthday. Don't worry, I'll write something again more trimmed to your request. SET AT THE END OF THE SECOND SEASON. ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE PART ONE. K? We good? Enjoy.
Sam searched the horizon for any escape.
Then he can see his brother again, they can laugh all this weird shit off, and drink a beer. And Sam will see that glimmer of smugness that is Dean.
Dean will say, damn its good to see, it took me forever to find your sorry ass.
Sam will ignore the jibes because he'll be home. He looks up again, and he sees it is Dean. His disbelief washes away in a tidal wave of hope.
He smiles, but hears rustling behind himself. Then pain.
And he escapes past the living world.
------------------
Dean is somewhere kneeling on the ground. His brain his screaming one thing: This isn't real.
Sam's not talking. This isn't real. Not moving. Can't be. No breath. Not real.
Even with Bobby's help, as they move to the car, he's still waiting to hear Sam grunt. To say, damn its good to see, it's been a hell of a week.
Time passes, Dean's still waiting. He knows he'll look up and see Sam, with that playful glimmer in his eye. But Sam's dead when he should be alive. That's what's real.
Dean realizes he's going to have to redefine "real".
