A/N: Second SPN fic, I tried for something worthwhile, I did. This happened instead.

Internet cookie for anyone who see's the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference.

Dean has always looked out for Sammy, it's a fact that will never change no matter how old they get. Dean is Sam's protector, but even Dean can't protect Sammy when it's himself wanting to kill the kid.

Eleven year old Dean turned back to his brother to ask once again "Okay, I checked the water is perfect and you've got the yellow towel, and I got Mr. Gordo all ready for you when you get out. Can you please get in the bath now." Receiving another shake of his twerp of a brother's head, Dean was ready to throw the kid in the water, Batman shirt and all.

Heaving a heavy sigh he turned back to the seven year old, "What is it? What do you need to take a freakin' bath!" Like a snake was wrapped around his belly Dean felt the anger and guilt rip through him, he didn't want to act mean to Sammy but he was so, so tired, all Dean wanted was to crash into bed.

Big baby eyes looked up at Dean from thick dark lashes, "You. I want you, you're'gunna leave once I get in. I want you to stay." The command was obvious but the face was turned away with a slight colour staining Sam's cheeks.

Once again letting out a deep breath Dean couldn't stop the twirk of his lips. "I'll stay if you want Sammy, always will." Receiving the so sought after nod, Dean helped his baby brother take off what was left of his clothes, preparing to spend the rest of the night just the way Sammy, and he, wanted to.

A/N: I'd be lying if I said I knew why I wrote this. Review anyways?
