More Than One Eye
by Swellison
Sam watched as Dean finished a shot. He grabbed Dean's arm before he could pour another. "Something you wanna say, bro?"
"Leggo," Dean snapped.
Sam sighed, releasing Dean's arm. "Just like Dad...gotta be drunk or injured to really talk to me."
Dean poured another shot, eyes habitually scanning the bar before meeting Sam's gaze squarely. "Wasn't just Dad," he admitted, "I swung by Stanford, too."
Sam blinked, putting the pieces together. "November second, my freshman year...you shadowed me back from the library. I *knew* I felt something."
"Couldn't leave ya unprotected on that night, Sammy. First'a many times."
"Thank you."
A/N: From Bugs: Dean: "[Dad] used to swing by Stanford whenever he could. Keep an eye on you. Make sure you were safe."
OOPS! Some last-minute tinkering resulted in me accidentally editing out the challenge word. This revised chapter puts it back in, where it belongs. Sorry.
This is what I call CW Canon Wannabe – because in my version of the Winchester Universe, John isn't the only Winchester who checked up on Sam at Stanford. Also, since this is Superbowl Sunday and it's all about the advertising, this is a blatant attempt to get y'all to go and read my Stanford drabbles, A Door Opens. This week's chapter is a precursor to More Than One Eye.
Lastly, let me put on my virtual cheesehead. GO PACKERS!
