Building Rome: At One Time

Summary: Cas is about to learn when Sam wants to learn something…you better get out of the way.
Disclaimer: Don't own them.
Castiel titled his head as he watched Sam work.
Whatever it was, Sam has been working days on it. He rarely left the small black book alone. He brought it outside while Dean was working on the various cars. He brought it with him when he ate dinner which he had noticed wasn't very often.
He also noted that Sam was right about Dean.
Dean avoided talking about Ellen and Jo. He would talk about things like plug sparks and card boxes then he goes on to show him where they got in the car. It is all very confusing and made his head hurt.
While Dean was talkative, Sam wasn't.
He should rephrase that line of thinking. Sam talked to Dean at approximately 3 in the afternoon and 10 at night. He was slightly confused on why Sam chose these times to talk to Dean. He was slightly distracted and used quite a bit of energy on taking apart those cars.
Perhaps, he will ask Sam about that later.
If Sam would talk to him.
Outside of his conversations with Dean and occasionally, Bobby, Sam rarely talked. He acknowledged his presence with the nod of his head. For the past few days, he thought Sam was grieving. By the end of the week, he changed his mind. Sam's behavior became erratic.
He slept about three to four hours a night.
He didn't eat adequate amount of food.
It was starting to show in the hollowness of his cheeks.
He noticed that Bobby was noticing but he was unsuccessful at Sam to acknowledge there was a problem. It was mildly frustrating and confusing.
At one time, he would care little about the welfare of Samuel Winchester.
At one time, he would care only if Samuel performed what he was destiny to do.
And now….he is left with emotion that he once only reserve for Dean.
Worry.
He no longer worried just about Dean…but Sam and Bobby as well.
It was confusing.
He could already hear Dean's voice inside of his head telling him that he was becoming more human.
He had no idea how to feel about this.
But he knew that he needed to worry now.
His hand brushed the little black book that Sam left on the desk. His curiosity was peeked but he has no business looking into the book.
"You can look, you know," Sam's voice said behind him.
"It is yours…I have no business reading it," He said as he stepped away from the desk. Sam came into view and picked up the book
"Actually, it is Bobby's book. I am just borrowing while I was here."
Sam held it in the palm of his hand and flipped it open. He turned it around and showed him.
It was his language.
Enochian.
He reached over and his fingers ghosted over the familiar symbols.
"Why?"
"I wanted to learn and it keeps the mind occurred at night."
"You are unable to sleep?"
Sam shrugged his shoulders.
"Nightmares…Lucifer…take your pick. They are both to the same to me."
He had no response for that.
"I can…"
The look on his face cut off his sentence.
"No."
"You need your strength."
"No."
He marveled at the determination and strength on Sam's face. Briefly, he wondered what Sam faced in his dreams. He turned his attention back to the book.
"I can teach you."
Sam tilted his head a little and stared at him for a moment.
"I would like that."
At one time, he would care little of Samuel's dreams.
At one time, he would care little of Samuel's choices as long as it was the right ones.
Now, he would care if his brother came into his dreams.
Not because of the world…
Because now, he cared.
