E/O Challenge: Word prompt: Tense. 100 words.
AN: Tag for AAH.

Sam found his brother standing out in the rain, staring into the dark night. He couldn't help but notice the signs that his brother was suffering.
Dean seemed to hunch a little, leaning to one side to protect ribs that had been bruised when Lucifer had thrown him. The broad shoulders that were usually relaxed despite the burdens they often carried were tense.
Sam wondered how much of the glisten on Dean's face were tears.
"You okay?"
"I can't lose anyone else, Sam. I can't."
Sam refrained from pointing out that there was hardly anyone left to lose.
