As Dean opened his sleep encrusted eyes, he noticed two things. First, Sam had moved slightly in his sleep, which was a good sign. The second was not such a good thing. The only light that was brightening the room was coming from the fire place. The windows were still covered with snow. They were still trapped.
It had been two days since they had first entered the shelter. After it stopped snowing, they discovered that the snow reached about 3 inches above the windows, making the total snowfall around 6 feet. The only way out of the tiny house now was through the emergency exit on the roof.
Sam hadn't awoken in those two days, but he had stirred a little. They had found medical supplies and dressed the wounds. They had stopped the bleeding and everything else seemed to be ok. Except for the fact that Sam had a high fever and hadn't woken up yet.
Suddenly, Dean was struck with an invisible, heavy object. An objected most people refer to as dread. Sam was stuck here, with out medical attention. "He's going to die. You know it, they know it, everybody knows. And after he dies, you'll be all alone," an evil voice in Dean's head hissed.
"He is not dying, stop it, shut up!" Dean fought back. Tears came to his eyes as he thought about what the voice was saying. "Stop it. This is ridiculous. Sam is not going to die."
The tears went away and he turned his attention back to Sam, who was now mumbling in his sleep.
"Sammy? Sammy, wake up. Come on Sam," Dean said, lightly slapping his little brother's cheek, "Time to wake your lazy ass up."
When Sam didn't wake up and stopped mumbling, Dean let out and exasperated sigh. "Come on Sammy, don't do that. Wake up Sam! You have to wake up now, god damn it. Sammy! Damn it, come on," Dean cried.
No tears came to his eyes this time; he had been cried out. In their place came a yearning of the heart, mind and soul. Every time Sammy showed a sign of life but did not wake, it was as if Dean was getting a tiny taste of something he would never get, and it hurt. God, did it hurt to see Sammy, his little baby brother Sammy, to weak to even open his own eyes. It made the elder Winchester feel a pain that he could have never even imagined, even after everything he had seen in his life. He wanted with all of his heart and soul to be in Sam's place, for him himself to be the one lying on the couch.
A light murmur brought Dean plummeting back to reality where Sam was the one laying on the recliner, his eyelids fluttering. Thinking it was only another cruel joke that the world was playing on him, Dean merely held his brother's hand. But what he saw left the hunter speechless.
Two brown eyes blinked at Dean, filling him with so much glee, even I, the narrator, don't know how to describe it. It didn't matter to him that they were slightly unfocused and glazed over, all that matter was the they were open and reconnecting the bond between these two men that was so strong, even death itself couldn't break it.
"Dean?" a weak and confused voice asked.
"I've got you, Sammy, and I promise I won't ever let go."
Once again thank you all for commenting, but for some of the people who read it but don't comment, I would really appreciate it if you would leave me a small message! Thanks! I'll update soon!
