E/O Drabble Challenge
Word – Relax
Disclaimer: Nope I don't own them but I do enjoy playing with them. Will give them back if I have to…*pouts* But I would rather keep them.
Word length – 417
Not sure I can play often, nor do I seem to follow the rules regarding the word count.
Please let me know what you think. I don't mind constructive criticism as long as you give examples but please don't flame me.
I will add on drabbles as I figure them out or my muse cooperates with me. I love both brothers but for some reason I really love a hurt Dean. Hope you don't mind me joining in…even if I don't follow the rules.
For some reason I couldn't use the word as the title but it is in the story…so hopefully that counts?
Insomnia
Don't look at the clock. Dammit, I told you not to look at the clock. Fine, it's been five whole minutes. Five minutes since I've checked out the time and figured out tonight's gonna be a long long night.
Francis is snoring away. Why can't I join Sasquatch in sawing logs? I'm so tired, exhausted, my entire body hurts, but can I sleep, escape to oblivion? Nooooooooo…I guess not.
Of course, my evil side wishes to get even. I should get up; jump up and down on his bed. Scream, create a ruckus, so that my little brother gets as little shuteye as I do, but that would be too cruel, right? Right. Sigh, it has to get better, it has to.
Okay, where was I on the count, 99 sheep. 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, you take one down, pass it around…damn, now I want a beer and we're out. Hurts too much to get up just to go to the bar…puppy dog eyes, why did I cave to those damn puppy dog eyes. Should have gone to the store and gotten several cases of the good stuff. But no, I had to cave and let the Sasquatch rule the roost.
"Dean, come on…Relax you need to sleep. One nice deep breath, one little pinch. It will only sting for a second and then you'll be out like a light." A voice filtered through the maze of pain.
"Ouch!"
"Don't be such a baby, just relax and you'll drift off into oblivion. Sorry, but this time I'm not taking no for an answer. You need to rest to heal. I need you back on your feet."
"I can't sleep, it won't work…" He nodded off mid-sentence and soft snores replaced his voice.
Now, maybe we both can get some sleep. Quickly and efficiently he checked over the bandages. So far you've been lucky, nothings infected, but tomorrow I better see what supplies I can scrounge up. Funny now that his brother had relaxed he looked so young and innocent. But this was one hunt that could wait for his brother to heal up before they finished it up. Carefully he got under the covers beside his snoring brother. He wanted to wake up if his brother stirred during the night. After all it was his turn to keep watch.
