"Just a shot of local anesthetic." Sam kept his attention on the vial.

"Why?" Dean's face scrunched up in dissent.

"Dude, you're going to need about 20 stitches along your shoulder blade."

"I do." Patient.

"But it's my back."

"Dean." Pause. "I'm going to use a little anyway. It'll keep you from squirming around."

"I don't squirm."

Sam didn't answer, just eased Dean back down on the bed, leaving one hand on the back of his neck to keep him there.

"I've got it. Just relax."
