Chapter Twelve – Hindsight
I should have seen this coming.
I bought into the whole 'Let Dean have his life' speech.
I'm not as close to Sam, but I should have noticed he wasn't the same.
Maybe I saw what I wanted to see, a Sam who put his brother first.
I wanted Dean out.
After watching Sam die, after Dean's death.
I just wanted the dying to stop.
Wanted one Winchester to live free of all this evil.
I wanted Dean to have that chance at a normal life.
Sam was so resigned to being a hunter.
That should have clued me in.
The End

All standard disclaimers apply.
I still maintain Bobby loves both boys as sons. Dean simply needed him more and hence, they do have a closer bond. Doesn't mean Bobby doesn't love Sam. Like a true parent, you love all your children equally but in different ways, providing what each one needs.
Both boys suffered from John's absence, but Sam had Dean. Dean was the one looking for a father-figure to fill that void, someone he could look up to and depend on.
Thanks for reading, comments welcome. Take care, B.J.
