A/N: This was a tag that I wrote to What is and What Should Never Be. Enjoy! This is in Sam's POV.
Hurt
He's hurting again. He's tired of playing hero. I was scared. I was so scared because I thought I lost my big brother. He's always been there for me, watching my back when no one else was there or even could. He stuck up for me numerous times along with saving my life, and has beaten up countless things; be it bullies or monsters that threatened to harm me. Truth be told, I sorta felt like I lost a piece of him that day.
Dean is so complicated and he uses his belligerence to cover his emotions; only, I can see right through it. This man, my brother, I've never seen him like this. I've never seen him want to give up hunting so bad, I have never seen him just wanting to break down and cry. He wants to cry, but he won't. He won't cry; not in front of me. He's hurt, and I have to learn to let him come to me and spill his thoughts and feelings rather than to pursue conversation. It's weird, but eventually, he always comes to me and spills everything, every little thought that occurs in that stubborn Winchester head of his.
He'll be okay, he always is. I know he'll never stop worrying about me, but you know what? I'll never stop worrying about him either, so we're even I guess.
