Gauntlet

by Enkidu07

E/O Challenge: Shoe. Dean plus snowshoes equals hostility. He'd take it out on Sam but he's having a hard time staying on his feet. Rated T for angry Dean words.

Challenge Word: shoe
A/N: We got about 15 inches of snow over Christmas. It made me feel inspired. It made Dean feel hostile.

"What the- oomph!"

Sam coughed as Dean took a header into the fluffy snow. In his haste to push himself up, Dean sank thigh-high into the drifts.

"Sam." Dean was past pissed, white flakes clinging to dark lashes.

"Problem?"

Dean tugged at his mangled snowshoe, almost sending himself into the powder again. Sam caught his arm and asserted, "You're not doing it right."

Dean scowled. "Switch shoes with me."

Seeing the glint in his brother's eye, Sam carefully took a step back, snow crunching beneath his webbed feet. "No."

"Sam."

Silent flakes floated between them.

Suddenly Sam grinned, "Make me."
