Out of It
By Woman of Letters
E/O challenge: Game. (I did this when the word was Grade and I made a mistake.) Dean misses Sam. Spoiler warning for End of Season 5, Beginning of Season 6
His love lay sleeping beside him, but his heart was with his brother.
His brother, who he had promised to save.
His brother, trapped in the pit with two madmen - the devil inside him and the zealot in their half-brother's skin.
Hunting had been a game that he could win, but only with Sammy beside him. Sammy made the game fun…his laughter, his all-too-emotional eyes, the practical jokes, teasing...
But without Sammy, he had no desire to play. If he couldn't save the one soul worth the world to him, what was the point of the game?
A/N I intend, at some point, to write a longer story based on this. Something involving the boys and them growing up, and hunting being a game they played. Please let me know if you'd like to see that.
