E/O Challenge: Blunt. Set after the episode "Dream a Little Dream of Me."
"You're not, you know."
Dean, having zoned out, hadn't realized his brother was speaking to him.
"What?"
Sam sighed, sounding sad. "Dad's blunt instrument."
Crap.
"How did you…"
"You were talking in your sleep."
Double crap.
"Oh," was all Dean could think to say.
"And he did care that you lived. He loved you. More than he'd ever say, I'm sure."
"Dad wasn't really big on the verbal sentiment, huh?"
"Is it a wonder where we get that from?"
Both sat in silence on that.
"We could be different."
Sam smiled.
"We could."
"Bitch."
"Love you too, jerk."
"Alrighty then."
