As this is a tag, I tried to keep the story close up to what was said in the series. So if anyone thinks I'm being a bit harsh with Sam, I apologize, but as he said in the series, he never realized the effect his running would have on Dean. So I felt I had to make him a bit young and naive, not yet quite understanding how his actions can have a impact on the ones around it, especially not on his superhero brother. But still managed to squish in a brotherly moment later on.
Enjoy!
Sam was thrilled, both the adrenaline and the rush of freedom propelling his legs to move ever faster down the streets. He needed to get away from it all. Away form hunting, away from arguing, away form dad, just away.
Dean was the one highlight in his life, but God, even he could be a major pain sometimes, especially when he played dad. He was only four years younger for crying out loud, he didn't need his big brother to babysit him anymore, he could take care of himself. But apparently neither dad nor Dean thought that with their constant vigilance and tight leash on him. He was going to show Dean he was perfectly able to care for himself. Sure he had taken some money from his brother, but he wouldn't mind. He might not even notice it as he usually just gave it all to dad anyway.
Besides, a break from each other would be good for them. They had been cramped up together way too much recently, and never being able to get a moments peace was really getting on his nerves, causing him to lash out at his big brother. So surely Dean wouldn't mind some time on his own, might even relish it. This would also give his sibling time to hang out with his own friends, no longer forced to being cooped up in the house watching over him or being forced to drag him along everywhere. Surely Dean wouldn't mind. If his brother hadn't been such a stickler when it came to following dad's orders he would probably just have asked him in the first place. But he knew his brother would never go against an order from dad, God forbid. So running away had been his only option to get away without Dean tagging along.
Either way, it wasn't like he was going to be gone long, just a week or something. He would be back before dad returned, cause if he found out there would be no end to it. Not only would he yell at him and probably ground him for the rest of his life, he would also punish Dean. And knowing Dean, he would as always take the punishment gladly, like the good little soldier he was even though he hadn't done anything wrong. No, neither of them needed that on their heads.
He had been planning this little getaway for over two weeks, ever since he heard about dads hunting trip. By the sound of it there was no way in hell they would be allowed to go with him, not that he wanted to anyway, so he knew they were going to be stuck alone for quite some time. Not having the ever watchful eye of his father, just his trusting brother, made it much easier both to get away.
He had silently gathered all the stuff he needed and hidden it away in his room, Dean hadn't even noticed. But as his brother had both walked him to and from school his original plan to runaway unnoticed as the school day started had gone down the drain. Frustrated that his plan had been foiled, he had been even more moody then usual. This time lashing out at Dean on purpose, hoping to get him to give him some space. It seemed to have worked as Dean soon after had announced that he was going out to fetch them something to eat.
Seeing his chance, he had bolted almost as soon as Dean had rounded the corner. He would get his freedom this time around, no doubt about it.
