-begin rant- I'm desperately trying to learn out of victimizing Sam. But Dean's reaction to getting hurt still seems to be a shrug and a gruff "I'm okay."
Whereas Sammy...he's a veritable Werther!
Something about him makes it so easy for me to imagine him hurt, conjure forth all sorts of nasty stuff, all the myriad ways of trying to break him, succeed, only to piece him together again afterwards...
Besides, he suffers so delightfully. ;) -end rant-


SHARDS, SHREDS, SCRAPS
Stitches

"You stupid ass... what the hell were you thinking, charging into Chaney Jr. like that?"

"I'm not hearing gratitude for saving your ass..."

"I had it under control."

"Yeah, sure you did - watch it! You were gonna wait it to death?"

"Stay still if you don't want to go to the ER."

"Those things are freakin' fast. You wouldn't have made it."

"So instead of letting me take my chances with it, you decided to see how good wrestlers they are?"

"With those claws, they don't play fair-"

"What were you thinking?"

"Distraction?"

"Blood works better inside the body, you know."

"Knew you'd have my back..."

"You think I enjoy patching you up?"

"Hey, there's lots of people who'd appreciate getting to see this work of art!"

"In that case, the next time you decide to let a ghoulie perform some impromptu surgery on you, I'll just drop you off at the nearest bar and leave you there..."

"And run off with my baby?"

"-sigh- Dean...you gotta stop doing this."

"Well, I'm not gonna let you just drive off with her, not aft-"

"Dean. If I'd fumbled..."

"A good thing you didn't, then? I said, watch it!"

"You're lucky to be alive! So stop complaining about a few stitches, and stay still and let me do my job!"

"...sigh..."
