A late birthday drabble for the awesome amberdreams, who wanted some Dean whump. I hope you'll settle for whumped Dean!


Summary: Dean's exhausted and hurt…what, you need more?


If it weren't so much harder to get out of wet clothes, Dean wouldn't have bothered shedding them before stumbling into the bathroom. The lukewarm water trickling out of the shower head didn't begin to ease the ache in his muscles and he closed his eyes against the sight of water tinged red against the yellowed porcelain. He stood there, numb with exhaustion, until the water ran cold, then dried off, grabbed a bottle, and fell into bed.

Eventually, the alcohol blunted his pain enough for him to fall into a restless slumber. Tomorrow it will start all over again.
