A/N: This is for the endlessly toasty Beaming Sunshine, who is having a birthday! Her request: a little bit of sleepy or sick and cuddly Sam and confused but relenting Dean.


Sam starts shivering before the sun sets. Exhaustion or fever, too close to call.

They hole up in a cave for the night.

"Sam. Get off." Dean shoves haphazardly at his brother.

"Sorry." Sam snuffles sleepily, pulls out of Dean's space.

Dean counts the seconds. Thirty-two and Sam's hot breath is encroaching along his side again.

He edges sideways. Sam follows.

Sam's cold nose nuzzles into his ribs.

Dean sighs.

Sam shuffles closer, hand inching around Dean's knee, forehead burying in Dean's side.

Dean drops his head back against the rocky wall, rests a hand across Sam's back, and sleeps.
