"What's that?" Sam shielded his eyes from the offending sunlight sleeping through the shabby curtains.
"Christmas present," Dean chucked the shoddily wrapped box at his brother. "Birthday present." He threw about four more boxes at Sam, each landing with a hard thud on his chest. He might have been throwing them a little too hard.
Sam pulled himself into a sitting position and folded his arms across his chest, "What are you doing?"
"Spring cleaning," came the curt reply. Dean turned back to his bag and continued rummaging.
"You got me Christmas and birthday presents? We never got each other gifts," he counted the boxes. "There's one..."
"For each birthday and Christmas..."
"I was away," Sam jumped out of the bad and ran out of the motel room.
"Come on. You're not gonna cry are you?"
Sam padded back into the room and thrust a wad of papers at his older brother.
"What's this?"
"Letters. Postcards, really. Twenty-eight."
"For each..."
"Month I was away. I thought about sending them. I really did. But then I realized dad would probably be the one checking the P.O. boxes," Sam paused and looked down at the floor."I really am a selfish bastard. I'm sorry."
"Yeah, you are. Were. Probably will be again. No harm no foul."
"Dean, one of these days I'm going to understand what makes you tick."
"God, I hope not."
