"Sammy, let's go."

Sam rolls over, one eye peeking from behind the covers. "Five more minutes."

"Okay, but if Dad…."

Sam groans, pushing himself up from the bed. "Why do we have to train so early?"

Dean shrugs. "No idea. Ask Dad."

"Yeah, right." Sam yawns. "You know, I'm gonna let my kids sleep as late as they want."

"You say that as if you actually think someone will marry you."

"Well, I'm not gonna do this forever. I want a normal life. Don't you, Dean?"

Dean ignores the question but his face looks pained. "Get your crap. Dad's waiting."

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

A/N: The bible verse just hit me while thinking about the challenge word and then I realized how incredibly sad it is when compared to Sam and Dean's lives. :(

Thanks for reading! Comments are always welcome! Also, I posted a one-shot yesterday for Dean's birthday called, A Force To Be Reckoned With, if you're interested.
