Summary: Because it's Father's Day here in the UK, here's John and his boys. Dean is eight and Sam is four.
John doesn't think about having a home after Mary dies. It's a long time before the smell of burning stops following John around, and it never leaves his dreams. It isn't until John's confronted with his boys' warped concept of home that he realises the emptiness he carries round has consequences.
"What's the matter, Dad? Don't you like it?"
John looks at Sam's quivering bottom lip, at Dean's anxious eyes, then stares down at the card they've made him for Father's Day.
Dean's drawn the Impala and Sam's drawn a white picket fence around it.
John's heart is stripped bare.
A/N - Sorry I've not been around much (reading or writing drabbles), I've had a few real life things going on that seem to have put a dampener on my drabbling muse. Hopefully I'll be around a bit more in future. :-)
