It hurts to love him, when time and circumstance has separated your lives so well that the only thing left is the ghost of his lips on your skin.

After two vegetarian restaurants, an almost serious usage of the term "buttercup," and an incident with Dean's mouth pressed against his ear, Sam came to the disorienting conclusion that they were quite possibly dating. Or, more accurately, that Dean was honest-to-god courting him like a modern-day knight in distressed leather armour.

Dean was dirty. He was wrong and sick and something inside of him must be a little bent. It has to be, because why else would he be looking at his older brother like this? [age swap!au, top!sam, bottom!dean]

Sequel to Old Ghosts. Sam is injured in a car accident and Dean meets Sam's parents for the first time in the worst circumstances.
