CHAPTER 2: INSPIRATION
When Dean came to bed, it was 10:30. Sam pretended t be asleep, and within minutes, Dean was off in the land of nigh-nigh. His arms and legs were splayed out on the bed in their usual display of ownership, and Sam was thinking about his homework. He had failed t do it. He didn't know who his hero was.
Watching his brother sleep, chest rising and falling slowly, Sam tried to define a hero. Was it a person that saved the world? No, Sam defined a hero as someone you can look to, to aspire to be like, someone who does good in the world and not someone widely known. Not someone who drew attention to themselves. Someone who was strong, would listen, was selfless, and takes pleasure in helping without boasting about what they had done.
And then Sam realised he was giving a perfect description of his brother.
The answer had been in front of him all along. Dean was not someone who walked around wearing a superhero cape, he was someone who wanted to be unnoticed. He was on the earth for others, not for himself. He saved the day. Period.
Slowly getting out of bed, Sam reached into his bag and pulled out the piece of paper. It was slightly crumpled, it had been squished by his pencil case, but he spread it out on the desk and turned on the light.
Dean murmured something, but did not wake. SAM sat down on the chair and began to write.
His pen scratched across the paper, and occasionally, there was silence, as Sam watched his brother, looking for those odd little habits that Dean did, like those short panting breaths when he slept. It seemed, that even in his dreams, Dean was never safe. He was always running.
And when morning came, Sam's personal piece lay tucked safely in his school bag.
