A/N: I was struck with the urge to write some Hurt!Dean and some brotherly schmoop. Re-watching some episodes of Season 4 can do that to a person.

Challenge Word: Twitch

Dean groans.

Heat pulses through his veins and down his leg. He chokes on his breath, body slumped against a tree.

Misty green eyes squint. A large dark figure kneels beside him. Soothing words and wild eyes.

"Sam?" Dean's honey smooth voice slurs messily. "Leg, it hurts."

Sam's lips twitch into a wry smile. "It should. You got a piece of fence stuck in your thigh."

Dean blinks. "Really?"

"Don't worry, man. I'm gonna take it out and we're gonna get you to a hospital."

"M'kay." Calloused fingers twitch before curling into a fist. Dean braces himself. "C'mon, hurry."

A sliding pop and a burst of fire. Dean stutters out a gasp, feels warm blood soak heavy denim.

Sam's voice is shaky but reassuring in his ear as he's hoisted up. "You're gonna be okay, Dean. I gotcha."

"Can't wait till I get some damn morphine."

Sam laughs.
