A Cup of Memories

By Swellison

Dean settled in his seat, handing Sam a cuppa joe. "Here."

Sam reached eagerly for the lidded cup, noticing the brown cup's spotted tan swirl-and-curlicue design after his first sip. The cup slid from nerveless fingers, splattering the Impala's floorboards. Sam didn't hear Dean's squawk, seeing only the coffee cup landing upright on the hospital's tiled floor, and dad's still form sprawled yards away.

"Sammy! What'sa matter?" Dean's hands gripped his upper arms.

"C-c-c-cof-f-fee cups's the s-same as-as the one I-I bought Da-Dad-dd wh-when---"

Dean pulled him closer, Sam resting his head on Dean's shoulder. "S'okay. I'm here, Sammy."
