Wishes on Lashes

-

The older boy gingerly collected the eyelash from his brother's cheek, holding it out in front of the smaller child on an outstretched finger.

"Make a wish, Sammy." Sam closed his eyes momentarily before opening them and blowing the lash away...

"Leave the sick alone," Dean protested as his brother plucked an eyelash from his fevered cheek.

"Make a wish," Sam said.

"Oh, c'mon, Sammy, don't tell me—"

"It worked for me."

Dean studied him a moment, remembering that moment from their childhood. "Fine," he sighed. Then he wished for Sam's wish to continue— that somehow they'd always be close.
