Skinned Knees

Sam had barely called out in pain before Dean was at his side.

"It's okay, Sammy, I've got you," Dean consoled, sliding an arm around his brother's broad shoulders.

He grimaced as he strained under the considerable weight, but uttered no complaint as he guided Sam back to their room and the dubious comfort of a sagging bed.

He made a start on cleaning up the mess of tattered denim, blood, and swamp water. It was far from the skinned knees of their childhood, but Dean would always be there to pick up the pieces and make everything better again.

Give Me Some Skin

"You sly dog, I saw you slip away with that hot redhead last night," grinned Dean, as his brother joined him in the diner.

Dean chuckled as Sam tried to hide a smug smile behind the menu. "I take back everything I ever said... mostly. I'm obviously finally rubbing off on you," he added, holding up a hand for a high-five.

Sam grimaced, but returned the gesture; skin contact was always welcome.

"Although, I'm surprised to see you before noon, but I guess you built up an appetite."

"I certainly have," commented Sam. I've never shifted into someone this big.
