Cat and Mouse
Summary: Gazing through the window with a blank – almost natural (Or at least it should feel that way) gaze, Sam sighed, a pit of anguish gnawing at his stomach. He couldn't do it. He couldn't take away Dean's happiness. This was his burden and his only. With a soft flutter of wings, he was gone.

AN/Story Background: After seeing Sam watching Dean at the end of 5x22 and getting over the initial shock of 'Oh my god! He's alive!', I started thinking about how and why he was back.
My initial thought, probably like most, was that he was Lucifer, but decided that that couldn't be right because season 6 is going away from the apocalypse and 'How would they kill him if he can't even stay in his cage?', as well as the fact that Sam 'won'.
So then I thought – because of the lamp bulb – either he's a demon, Sam with demon powers, an angel or half angel/half demon. And then I just had to write this story, so I was like 'which is the best possibility?' and this was the brain child of those thoughts.
And because I loved the whole 'Chuck narration', I've kept the layout in a similar way to the finale.

Prologue:
No doubt endings are hard. But then, nothing ever really ends, does it?
Despite all signs saying otherwise, we now enter the second part of our story, in some ways darker than the first but, all the same, about two brothers and their love which knows no bounds.
At first, Dean tries to ignore it, telling himself that he won't not look back on his past life but to Sam, and the promise he swore to keep. But as the days and months go by, he finds it harder and harder: voices, eerily like Sam's and that of Angels, whispering to him at night. The feeling of someone watching over, protecting him, much like he used to do himself. And then the sightings; a mop of brown hair, hazel eyes peering through the dark, Sam himself. At first he tries not to believe. But soon, he knows he must. But every time he tries to search for Sam, it's fruitless; he begins to think himself crazy.
Sam also tries to ignore it, that small urge he has to reveal himself to his brother. One day, he almost makes it to the front door. But he can't. He won't. In Sam's eyes, Dean deserves everything and he won't let him be pulled back into this life; no matter how much Sam knows he needs Dean. Or how much he knows Dean needs him. But as the days and months go by, just like Dean, Sam finds it extremely difficult to stay away. So he stays invisible, a perk of his new found status, only goes at night and watches over his brother like Dean used to do for him. But it's not enough. He watches him during the day, almost getting caught many times, until he's explicitly told to stay away; told that Dean's looking out for him. His heart breaks as he thinks of his brother, desperate and broken, pleading for Sam to appear.
And then one day, everything changes.
Hope you like the prologue!
The first chapter should be up on Monday!
