Dean hadn't come out of his room for three days. Sam knew how he felt. He was sitting at the table cradling a cup of tea reading a book on angel possession when he heard shuffling feet behind him. "Heyya Sammy." Dean said. He looked horrible and smelled worse.
"How are you feeling?" Sam asked.
"I'm fine." Dean said. Dean always said fine when he was at his worst. "But I was just wondering, since you've been possessed by Lucifer, how'd it...feel?" Dean asked.
"At first it was easy. The fighting was finally over and I could just rest. But then he started hurting people I care about and it hurt to see that happening. And fighting him was so exhausting." Sam said absentmindedly pressing his thumb into his palm.
"We have to get him back." Dean said looking hard into Sam's eyes.
"We will Dean." Sam said. He didn't mention how unfair it was that Dean got to keep his angel while Sam's was killed by Lucifer so long ago. He didn't mention how unfair it was that he'd gotten so little time with Gabe while Dean had so much more with Cas. Dean didn't mention he'd been in his room praying to Cas for three days straight. Sam didn't mention that he'd been praying to Gabe since his death. "But first you need a shower and some food." Sam said pinching his nose playfully.
"Yeah sure." Dean said, his hollow eyes and parched lips and dirty bathrobe went to clean himself up.
