A/N: I can honestly say I had trouble with this one. I tried about 5 different ideas before this one finally stuck. I still like how it turned out...

Season 4


Year of the Brother

Wind lashes at their exposed faces. The cold nips; the snow whips. Fingers flex; teeth chatter. Being out in the middle of nowhere, freezing cold, wasn't exactly how Dean expected to spend New Years.

New Years never was a big deal to a Winchester. But ever since he had risen from Hell, Dean felt like he and Sam should be spending every waking moment together being brothers. His heart flutters and his head burns at the thought of leaving Sam again. Not even this blustery night could squash that heat.

Fear is Dean's foe, but Sam is Dean's brother. Maybe this year they could start acting like it.

End


A/N: Sometimes they don't seem like they're acting like brothers and more like partners. I hope it was all right considering my troubles with it.
