Author's Note: This was my first E/O Challenge drabble and also my first SPN fic. Originally, I posted it with 115 words, but that bugged me enough that I went back and edited it down to the regulation 100-word limit. Here's what I ended up with - same story, just a little 'lighter'.

"Damn right I hate it!"
"Dean, that thing would have killed you. Hate me all you want, but given the choice between stumbling in my recovery and watching you die—"
"Wait—I don't hate you…So, you…stumbled. I'm still breathing, so let's just call it even, OK?"
"I can't promise it won't happen again."
"Yeah, well, you stumble, I'm still gonna catch you…every time."
"Every time?"
"Yep. Every time."
