Some people go their whole lives without seeing beauty. Dean sees beauty every day in his baby brother, and he thanks whatever creature out there, is listening, for it every day. This world that he lives in is so cold, so hopeless and broken that sometimes he is sure it can't go on. Then he sees Sam and he remembers; he remembers that no matter how many times this world has rejected him Sam has always tried to save it. Sam who had protected this world for 28 years and has never once received thanks, Sam who has never asked for the thanks he so rightly deserves.

Sam is the sun, pure and blinding, when he is saving the world. If people could see him like that, they would build monuments and shrines in his honor. But Dean wants to build a shrine in honor of this moment right now; with Sam all sweaty and grease stained from working on the Impala. Sam may be as bright as the sun when he's saving the world, but when he's laughing, joyous and carefree, at some stupid joke Dean has made about his incompetence with cars, then he is bright her than any star in the heavens, then he is the most beautiful thing in the entire universe.
