Title: I've got you.

Disclaimer: Sometimes in my dreams, they're mine. Well, not in my dreams, per se, but in that time before slipping into sleep.

A/N: Inspired by Mad Servers 21 favorite Dean words. I couldn't get them all in, but this isn't even where I'd planned on going with it… so I will keep trying.

Word Count: 100. Which is harder than I thought it would be… though, it turns out I use a lot of unnecessary words… so this may actually be a good exercise for me.

Tight muscles strain against soft cotton as Dean heaves over the porcelain bowl.

Sam drops a light hand on his damp back. Dean pulls away, trembling against the wall as the cramping eases.

"Personal space, dude," he breathes, running a shaky hand over his hot forehead.

Sam leans over him to snag a towel, staying close.

Wetting the towel he soothes, "Here. Clean up. You're a mess."

Crouching beside him, one hand resting on Dean's abdomen, he can feel muscles still taut from exertion.

Dean snuffles and makes a woozy attempt to stand.

Then clings to Sam.

"I've got you."
