A/N: So, this just hit me in the face yesterday and decided not go away 'til I wrote it all down. Then it grew, and became… A Drabble Series.
No idea were it came from, either…. :thumbs up: It is set in no particular season, really - put it where you want! :grin:
Disclaimer: Obviously, I do not own Supernatural, Sam or Dean. Not even a teeny tiny knife or weeny gun.
Lyrics are the amazing Within Temptation's "Memories". (So, not mine either.)
~Suffered In Silence ~
-Helpless-
In this world you tried…
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way…
I'll pray to the gods: let him stay
They're over at Bobby's to ask for help about their latest hunt - they need his advice, and they know he'll only be too glad to help out.
It's taken a long - very long - journey, but now they're finally here.
At last...
Dean yawns and stops the engine. Glances over and sees Sam, who is currently sleeping, head against the window.
For once…
He sighs, one of frustration. Just when Sam has finally gone to sleep, he now has to wake him up. Something which he doesn't particularly relish.
But he has too, and with some reluctance, leans over.
A poke.
"Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. We're here."
No response.
Another poke, then a -
"…Uh...?" Never let it be said that Sam Winchester was ever at a loss for words.
Sam starts, opens his eyes and stretches. He gets out of the car before Dean can say anything to him.
A curse, then he follows.
They're soon at the door, and Bobby's there, looking at Dean and then at Sam.
"Sam…?"
The look of shock that crosses the older hunter's face at the sight of Sam makes Dean look closer at his brother.
It's been a month, now - a month of him being sick, not sleeping properly…A month of him losing weight.
He's constantly pale and looks like something they regularly salt-and-burn - that skinny. Sam's taken to wearing baggy sweaters and shirts to hide it yet he hasn't been able to fool Dean. And judging by that look, hasn't fooled Bobby, either.
Who looks at Dean as Sam pushes past him into the house.
A silent "What the hell?" written on his face.
Dean shakes his head helplessly, looking at his brother's back.
I don't know…
