Closer to Death

Gazing upon his brother, seeing him smile for the first time in what must be weeks, fills an empty space in him that was days ago brimming with red hot hate.

He can't comprehend why he has such undying capacity to loathe him like he does, why he places his brother below everything.

Seeing Dean happy makes him happy…

Lights up his life.

It's as simple as that.

So the youngest is left in awe when it takes him this long to realize he doesn't need space.

He and Dean are not only inseparable…

Being apart is closer to death.
