Hey guys :) ... Just a little AU tag for 14x20 "Moriah"... Spoiler!
What is going to happen at gunpoint?
Boys are not mine.
...
Pulling the trigger
„So", Sam started. His voice still sounded hoarse from screaming and presumably also from crying. His eyes wandered over his brother's calm form. Dean hadn't uttered a single word since they had entered the car. He was driving out of town, is gaze on the road.
"What Sam?" Dean sounded annoyed.
"Why didn't you pull the trigger?" Sam took a shaking breath. "Even he was okay with that."
"Maybe because my Sasquatch brother stood between my target and the gun?" The older hunter still didn't look at him. "I don't want to talk about it, Sam."
"Well, tough." The younger brother let his head fall against the window. He didn't expect Dean to answer to that. The older one would stick to the story anyway. He would say that Sam was the reason why he hadn't pulled the trigger.
...
Flasback
"Dean! No!" Sam held both his hands up in the air, his eyes on the gun that was now directly pointed at him. He ignored Jack who kneeled behind him. "Please. Just… please!" Over the last decade this has become quite frequently. Dean pointing a gun at him. Ironically, this time seeing the gun was rather comforting. It meant that Dean hadn't shoot yet.
"He killed MOM!" Dean shouted, waving the gun.
"Not on purpose!", Sam's voice cracked. "Dean, please! I also miss her. I want to turn back time, but I can't. I want to bring her back, but I can't." Sam brushed a hand over his face. "Killing him won't bring her back." His breath hitched. "Dean. Please! He is family!"
"Not MINE!" Dean gritted his teeth. "Sam get out of the way!"
"Yes he is." Sam shouted. "Look, he didn't want to kill her. We can't kill him! Cas will find a way to bring back his soul. He WILL find a way! WE will find a way. He is not bad, Dean. He is NOT evil."
"He called killing mom a MISTAKE!" Dean gestured with the gun in Jack's direction.
"I called freeing Lucifer a mistake!" Sam felt his eyes tearing up. "Please. You've said that you believe in us!"
"Yes in US. Not in him!" Dean was angry.
"Dean", the younger man begged. "He saved me. He saved my life. He saved yours. He was the one to really keep you out of the box. He killed Michael. He is on our side! I can't... I..."
End Flashback
...
Back in the bunker Sam accepted the beer that Dean was handing him with a small smile. "Thanks", he took a sip, bottle already open.
"Jack is with Cas." Dean sat down on the table, one foot on the chair next to Sam's. "They stay with Anael and try to", the older hunter searched for the right word. "…sneak into heaven."
"Anael?", Sam raised an eyebrow.
"He can't stay on earth." Dean shook his head. He paused for a second before he sighed. "I really wanted to pull the trigger. I was…", he trailed off. "You were right, Sammy." The voice was gentle. "He is just a kid and he is not evil. I would want him to be, but he isn't. He helped us more than once."
"Thank you", Sam nodded, looking up to his brother.
"Don't thank me." The older man gave a quick smile before he gently patted Sam's cheek once. "Let's take weekend off. Just the two of us. What do you think?"
"You finally realizing that you're giving me grey hair?" Sam teased, taking another sip from his beer.
"Payback is a bitch, little brother." Dean smiled. It felt like an eternity since he had smiled sincerely. Nevertheless, his little brother didn't give up on him. And that really felt nice and made him smile.
Thanks for reading :)
