A/N: Good to be back after RL knocked me for a loop for a bit. Hugs to BarbaraGER and MeAzrael for their support and our wonderful musketeer challenge. These little drabbles are like therapy :) Our musketeer challenge word of the week (chosen by me) is: freckle.
Summary: tag following the final scene in A Very Supernatural Christmas - After the game and many drinks later...
- The Space Between -
Sam kept watch as the loose-limbed sprawl and quiet introspection of too much alcohol replaced warm laughter and fond reminiscing.
Changed gears, let his fear and desperation show, dropping the pretense all together when he slipped the drink from Dean's lax fingers.
Eyed the splash of delicate freckles on pale skin as lashes fluttered, emerald gaze pinning him with the naked fear Sam knew to be there all along.
"Hey," gentle, knowing Dean wasn't fully there.
Guard down, his brother was exposed and vulnerable, too tired to hide.

Determined, protective, "We'll find a way Dean. I promise."
Omg - the angst on this show! It's truly in a realm of its own.
AND DID YOU *SEE* THE PREVIEWS FOR NEXT WEEK? HOLY CRAP!
