We all know that Dean was the good son, but was he the favored son?
Dean's POV
Just left town, ghost of some 1920's flapper that just wouldn't leave the speakeasy that she died in, cause a real annoyance for the new owners. Sam is just dozing in the passenger seat of the Impala, I'm just driving aimlessly on the long highway. Lots of time on my hands, lots of time to think…
Always the good son, never the favored son…
Sam always says that I'm the favored son, but that isn't the truth. Sam has always been the favored son; I have always been the good son. I gave up my own path to follow dad, I protected my brother from the worst of the worst, I played the referee between dad and Sam, and I took the role of the breadwinner when neither dad nor Sam would do it.
It's not fair, I stayed when Sam left, still dad always went to Stanford to just watch Sam from a distance. I had dreams too; I gave them all up for the good of the cause yet does Sam or dad ever appreciates it? No, they don't, all Sam sees is the good little soldier that never questions dad, all dad sees is the brave little soldier that does what he's ask to.
They never see me…just what they want to see…the masks of Dean Winchester. Wish for once they see the real me. Not the good son, but the little boy that lost it all and just tries so hard to keep what little he has together.
Sam thinks that I was favored son…he never realize how much pain John Winchester feels when he looks at the face of his older brother: with the face so much like his lost love, who is a bittersweet reminder of good ole days when John was happy. With Sam, John sees so much of himself in his youngest and his youngest can't remember those good ole days, Sam can't remind John of the time before. But with his oldest, there is always the reminder of what could have been. I tried so hard to not remind dad of the things that could have been. With Sam, he could always just focus on the mission, while with me there is always the tension of what was once there. It's not fair…
I do everything for dad and Sam, but in the end I'm always second best. Dad is the best hunter; he's got instinct for the business. Sam is the smartest, got into Stanford with a full-scholarship.
Always the good son, never the favored son…
