This drabble is for 29Pieces. The prompt was "How did you not see that?" I really enjoyed this one! Hope I did it justice. :) Also, if y'all are looking for some great writing then go and check out 29Pieces' page. She posts weekly and has multiple completed works.
"Dean, did you see that?" no answer. "Dean?" Sam said again before looking at his brother and realizing that he was miles away in his own thoughts. He decided to try again. "Dean. Earth. To. Dean." After his fourth attempt to get his brother's attention Dean finally decided to return to earth.
"What?"
"Did you see that?"
"See what?"
"That shooting star!" Sam said looking over at his brother and frowning when he shook his head. "Oh c'mon! How did you not see that?" Sam said, looking at him incredulously before sighing and turning to grab another beer out of the cooler.
"Sammy, look," Dean said, grabbing his arm.
Sam turned, about to make a smart remark about how Dean had decided to pay attention now and not when it actually counted, but stopped short when he realized what his brother was looking at. The sky, which had been completely still when he had turned away, was filled with streaks of light as the meteor shower began. He looked up in awe before looking over at Dean and taking in the wonder on his big brother's face. He looked all but twelve years old and Sam couldn't help but think that in that moment Dean was living out the childhood he had given up. "Yeah, Dee. I'm looking."
A/N If anyone out there has a prompt, I would love to write it. They need to be six words and be a coherent sentence. Reviews are love and prompts give me life. Thanks for reading! Love and hugs!
