HAPPY BIRTHDAY smalld1171!
You've made us the present of many many countless hours with your wonderful stories
(all you Hurt!Dean fans out there, let's shriek in unison!),
so now it's time for us to give something back!


Why?

His lungs were burning, his back protesting, his brain telling him that he was too slow. That the weight in his arms wouldn't make it. John ignored it. Just like he tried to ignore the warmth running through his fingers, down his arms, the steady trickle of dark liquid from his son's mouth, nose and ears.

It's not possible to bleed from the goddamn ears, damnit!

A gargling whimper and tears started to fall.

No.

"Shhhh. You'll be okay, Dean, you'll be fine..."

What's your plan? Why do you punish me?

But he didn't answer. God never answered.
