Dean shifted on the bed. The jagged edges of his broken ribs ground together, taking his breath away. He laid his head back on the pillow, breathing shallowly and waiting for the pain to subside. The last hunt had been a real nightmare.
Literally.
Seemed like Dean couldn't close his eyes without the images of Sam writhing on the motel bed playing inside his head. Trapped inside his deadly dreams, Sam had gone where Dean couldn't follow.
They thought they had come on a normal witch hunt, what they found was a much more urgent danger.
Dean had left Sam in the shower the second morning. He'd be back from the coffee shop right around the corner by the time Sam was finished so they could get to the research more quickly. He hadn't taken into account it was Monday morning in a small town with one coffee shop. By the time he got his coffee and Sam's froufrou tea, he was wondering if he should just invest in a single-cup coffee pot to carry with them.
When Dean returned, he found a chicken wing tacked to their door, the feathers flapping in the breeze. He set the coffee tray carefully on Baby's roof and drew his gun before slipping into the room. The only one in the room had been Sam, lying unconscious on the floor, his towel still around his waist. Dean knew the wing was supposed to make him think "voodoo", but he'd had experience with real voodoo and knew that wasn't it.
Dean maneuvered Sam's huge frame up onto the bed, bundling him under the blankets. He stepped out to grab the drinks, dumping them in the trash on the way in. Dean wasn't taking any chances. He dug out Sam's laptop and got to work.

A/N: I have been unfriended on LJ and probably unfollowed on here. I get it, and I'm sorry to see some people go. I know I've been MIA for awhile - some of you know why, some of you don't. We've had a couple losses in the family last month, and one of my best friends has been in the hospital. I've been doing what I can for my family and I can't be sorry for that. I'm way behind on my drabbles, and I missed Dean's birthday. (I don't think he'd mind, I nearly missed my own too. Since mine is about a week before his, I think he'd understand.) So here's a drabble with a bunch of words, with another chapter to come as soon as I can get it finished.
