I don't own Supernatural. And I sorta lied about the dog. It's my parents dog.


"Sam, maybe you should drive." Dean tossed his brother the keys and used the Impala for support as he moved to the passenger side. "I think I'm going to take a nap."

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I just took some of that medicine." Dean coughed and slid into the seat, spitting onto the concrete before closing the door.

Sam started the engine, his face pensive.

"What's that look for?" Dean sighed.

"What look?"

"That look."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know, that look you get. The one that's all 'I'm not happy but I'm not going to say anything. I'm just gonna mope.' That face."

Sam shot a look at Dean.

"And there's the bitch face."

"Fine. You want to know what's been bothering me? It's you. You've been sick for months with that cough and I can't deal with worrying about you on a hunt and keeping myself safe."

"I'm taking the medicine. Not much else I can do."

"You could go to the doctor." Sam turned his head to stare at Dean.

"Dude, keep those eyes on the road." Dean pointed out the windshield.

"I'm serious, Dean. I know you don't really care about yourself but after losing Dad and almost losing you with the electrocution and the car crash—"

"I thought we agreed not to dwell on that stuff."

"Dean, I—"

"Drop it, Sam. And I'm serious about the road. Eyes front."

Sam gritted his teeth and drove forward a few hundred feet, then slammed on the breaks and veered to the side of the empty country road. Dean held on and felt his stomach flip at the sudden motion. "Nope, Dean. I can't. You're all I got left and if I lose you I'm going to go crazy. Mom, Jess, Dad, all my friends at college. Madison. I've lost almost everyone I've gotten close to and I can't stand to lose another one. So, whether you want to or not, you're going to a hospital."

"You're not going to stop, are you?"

Sam smiled tightly with a slight shake of his head.

Dean sighed. "Let's make it quick then."


Just a set up and some friendly(?) brother banter. The next chap should be up within the hour.
