The Long Goodbye
A/N: a slightly different (all right! A really different) version of the first episode. More like the whole season but you know…
Dean finds something out about his little brother and after he does, will he want to go on this journey with him?
Thanks to my beta, Vanhelsing's Angel. She's done a great job with making sure it wasn't too OOC!
This is very OOC, okay? Just informing you so I don't get a flood of emails saying this story sucks big time.
It took me a lot of courage to write this, seeing as I'm a hardcore Sammy Luva. I just want you to know I don't encourage the writers converting Sam to the dark side.
I know they say if you love somebody,
You should set them free,
But is sure is hard to do,
It sure is hard to do,
I know they say if they don't come back again,
Then it's meant to be,
But these words aren't pulling me through,
Cause I'm still I'm love with you,
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle,
But it's just you and me,
Going through the myth,
Climbing up a hill,
This is the long goodbye,
Somebody tell me why,
2 lovers in love can't make it,
just what kind of love keeps breaking our heart,
now matter how hard I try,
you're gonna make me cry,
come on baby it's over,
let's face it,
all that's happening here is the long goodbye,
sometimes I ask my heart if it really gave
love a chance,
but no without a doubt,
love turned it inside out,
and if we walked away it would make more sense,
but it tears me up inside,
just to think we still could try,
how long must we keep riding on this carousel?
Going round and round,
and never getting anywhere,
On a winded prayer,
This is the long goodbye,
Somebody tell me why,
2 lovers in love can't make it,
just what kind of love keeps breaking our heart,
now matter how hard I try,
you're gonna make me cry,
come on baby it's over,
let's face it,
what's happening here is the long goodbye,
This is the long goodbye,
Somebody tell me why,
2 lovers in love can't make it,
just what kind of love keeps breaking our heart,
now matter how hard I try,
you're gonna make me cry,
come on baby it's over,
let's face it,
what's happening here is the long goodbye,
Are you ever coming back again?
Are you ever coming back again?
Are you ever coming back again?
Dean shut the door of the impala, the familiar squeak reminding him that she'd always be there for him. He ran over to the other side of the road and stood in front of what he presumed to be Sam's humble abode. He knew Sam was living with someone, he just didn't know who.
The front door was open when he reached it, "doesn't he know anything?' Dean muttered and pushed the flimsy screen door open. He entered what looked like a kitchen, then accidentally tripped over a chair that had been left out. He swore loudly, then clamped a hand over his mouth. He thought he heard something at the other end of the house, but dismissed it.
In the blink of an eye he was fighting with someone on the floor. "Dean?" the figure asked cautiously and Dean stood up, "Sam?" he helped his little brother up and noticed how much he'd matured since he last saw him. "what are you doing here?" Sam asked and Dean gave him the famous lopsided smile, "just passing through. You know"
Sam raised an eyebrow, "Dean, on dad's orders you haven't spoken to me for 4 years. You didn't think you could just turn up and expect me to welcome you back into my life again, did you?" Dean shrugged, "maybe. But that's not why I'm here. Dad's gone missing" a light went on in the hallway and a sleepy looking guy stumbled out. "what's going on out here?" he asked, standing next to Sam.
The man looked from Sam to Dean, "is there something you're not telling me?" he asked Sam and without Dean's knowledge Sam took his hand and held it behind his back. "Jesse this is my brother, Dean. Dean, this is my flatmate Jesse." Jesse leant over to shake Dean's hand while still holding Sam's with the other. "Sam, I need to talk to you. Privately" Jesse let go of Sam's hand and started towards the bedroom.
"no. anything you have to say about dad you can say in front of Jesse" Dean sighed, "all right. Dad's missing" Sam gave him the look, "so what? Dad goes missing all the time. wait a day or two and he'll come back" Dean shifted slightly and played with the ring on his right hand, "Dad went on a hunting trip. He hasn't been home in a few days"
Sam immediately turned to Jesse, "could you excuse us for a few minutes? there are some things we need to discuss" Jesse left the room and took Dean down to the basement. "you know Dad and I aren't exactly peas in a pod. The last time I saw him was when he chucked me out!" Sam paced the length of the basement as Dean tried to reason with him,
"I really need your help Sammy. I can't do this on my own" Sam threw his arms up, ""you don't need me! Anyway, I have an interview on Monday" Dean couldn't believe what he was saying, "a job interview? You can't seriously be telling me that some job is more important than your own flesh and blood?" Sam gave in to his older brother, "fine, but we need to be back by Sunday night"
Dean nodded, "we can be back by then. Go get your stuff" Sam headed back up the stairs and into the bedroom. 'so you're going to look for your dad at 3 in the morning?" Jesse asked and Sam smiled softly, "yeah, I am" Jesse sat back down on the bed, "your brother doesn't know about us, does he?" Sam shook his head,
"I don't plan on him knowing anytime soon either" he finished shoving clothes into a bag and swung it over his shoulder, "I'm gonna miss you" Jesse stated and Sam leant in to kiss him, "I'll miss you too. Go back to sleep and I'll see you on Sunday" Jesse smiled and tapped him on the nose, "go get 'em tiger"

it was two hours after they set off that Dean actually attempted a conversation with his little brother, "so, how long have you and Jesse been together?" he asked and Sam turned his head sharply, "3 years. How did you…" Dean chuckled, "Sammy, I'm a hunter. When people put their hands behind their backs, I notice" there was a bit of silence then Dean snorted with laughter,
"what now?" Sammy exclaimed and Dean turned to him, "so you're his bitch!" Sam gave an exasperated sigh and rolled his eyes. "you're playing your own team then?" Dean asked and Sam exploded at him like a raging fire, "this is why I never told you! I wouldn't be able to take all the homo jokes you threw at me! And the fact that I thought I wasn't ever going to see you again"
Dean was taken back by his brother's outburst. Sam wasn't one to throw spazzes, but something had definitely changed about him in the last 4 years. Dean pulled over and shifted so he was facing Sam. Sam sullenly stared out the window into the rain, "I have absolutely no problem with you batting for the other team, just don't take everything to heart!"
Sam hesitated, "so dad up and left you?" Dean responded by refusing to answer the question. "have it your way" Sam told him and leant back, sinking into the leather interior of the Impala.
