The Winchester Hug Paradigm

By Jan J. (P.J.P), Little Sister's Keepress

"Dude, what are you doing?"

"I'm reaching out for a hug?"

"Sam, are you dying?"

"What? No! God, Dean, do you want me to die?"

"Of course not, little brother. Just checking your state of mind."

"My mind is fine! What's wrong with me wanting to hug you?"

"Sam, men don't hug. I know this is traumatizing, but you are a man. A girly one but still a man."

"That's—Since when—You're a jerk."

"Uh huh."

". . ."

"Deep down inside, you know I'm awesome."

". . ."

"All right. Stop talking to me all you want. I don't care."

". . ."

"Sammy?"

". . ."

"Oh, for crying out loud, I already hugged you!"

"Look, Dean. You don't have to lie to me. I understand that you're still mad at me for leaving."

"Sam, I'm not lying."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Okay, so let's say that you did hug me. Where was I when you did?"

"Back at your apartment."

"What?"

"Right before meeting your girlfriend."

"Dean, you had me pinned to the floor."

"Yep."

"A hug is not tackling someone after breaking in!"

"Ah, well, that was it."

"'Hug' specifically means 'to clasp the arms around and hold close as a sign of affection.'"

"Sam, you actually looked up 'hug' in Webster's?!"

"No. I looked it up in Macmillan Dictionary."

"You're such a geek, college boy. Anyway, you're just jealous that I was totally winning in that hug."

"No, I'm not! Man, hugging is not about winning or losing! And I so pinned you in the end, Dean!"

"Whatever. Green doesn't suit you, bro. Admit it. I'm a better hugger than you."

"I thought men didn't hug."

"Shut up, Sam."

". . ."

"Okay. Okay. Men do hug."

"Thank you."

"At gunpoint."

"Dean!"

"Sheesh, all right, Sammy. And they hug chicks. Can't forget hugging the chicks!"

"Including Mom?"

" . . ."

"Yeah, Sam. Especially Mom."
