LOVE'S LOSS
Something that used to be important to the brothers seems to have been
left behind. Shopping for Dean's Christmas present, the realisation finally
starts to prod at Sam. (Based on something I've noticed for a while now,
certainly throughout series 12 and to where we've got so far with series13).

Walking along, Sam gazed at each smiling couple, hand in hand, side by side, so close their body's bumped while they shopped together for Christmas. Some chatted animatedly to one-another, some teased each another, others moved past Sam in comfortable silent synchronicity. They were all with their love, the one who loved them back. And the joy of having found shared love lit their eyes.
Women Sam had loved, died. So without voicing it, he reconciled to a lifetime shared only with his brother; forcing himself to forget he had ever loved at all.

Sam couldn't remember when he and Dean last spoke about relationships. Whether looking forward to finding The One; or voicing worries about how hard The Life made finding The One. But he didn't recall them together ever voicing a complete acceptance that love would never be theirs. Love, somehow, merely ceased being an issue, topic or consideration. Separately and silently, they each left love behind, a forgotten sock, abandoned in a vacated motel room. Together they continued to navigate destiny's twisted road, battling both adversaries and themselves, given no time to recognise that somewhere during their journey, they stopped bothering to talk about finding love anymore.
