"Yikes." Sam's back was a palette of black and brown. Dean frowned at the tube of Ben-Gay.

"Wassa matter, Dean?"

"Not sure where to start. Everything looks…painful."

"Star' anywhere. Nothin' hurts." Sam turned his head to smile at Dean. "Really. Nothin'."

"Good painkillers, huh?"

"Mmm-hmmm."

Warming the liniment between his palms, Dean hesitated. "How about the heating pad again?"

"Uhn-uhn. Ben-Gay."

He touched Sam's shoulder blades. "Here okay?"

"No. Here." Sam swung one arm out, slapping his thigh.

Concerned, Dean poked Sam's jeans. "That didn't happen today."

"Old soccer injury."

"Say what?"

"Jus' do my back. Quit worryin'."

"Little bitch."
