Car Wash
E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: paint
Warnings: Angst
Summary: The Impala is clean, inside and out. Can the same be said for Dean?
:: paint my body red - with blood, with rage
paint my heart black with the taint of sin
then scrub me clean again
if you can ::
Sam finds Dean outside, bare arms covered in grease and a ready smile on his face. The gleam in his eyes is brighter than the Impala's new-burnished paintwork.
Who'd have thought black could dazzle the senses so?
Sam's eyes avoid the rawness of Dean's scarred forearm, as if by not seeing the Mark he can forget about the different, empty dark that had filled Dean's eyes before.
Caring without sharing – it's the Winchester way.
A/N okay I apologise for squeezing angst out of the marvellously indulgent and happy-making Episode 200...but somehow that's what happened when I thought about paint. Go figure. I'm sorreeeeeeee!
