RECAP

"Anything for you, Dean" Sam says, giving him a big, Sam-like grin.

"Anything?"

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Sam nodded at his older brother.

"Yes, Dean, anything" Sam says, standing and going to rinse a towel he'd used to cool Dean down. Dean watched him go into the bathroom and shivered when he was out of sight. He'd do anything for Sam too, but he didn't know if Sam actually would go that far. Dean loved Sam, but he didn't want to push him into anything.

Sam came out of the bathroom, sitting down next to Dean again. Dean looked at him.

"I'm starving'" he says, rubbing his stomach. Sam immediately stood.

"I'll go get you some food, okay?" he asks, concern and love in his voice. Dean stood as well.

"I'm not an invalid, Sam. I'll go with you" he says, irritated.

"Dean I'm just trying to make sure you don't agitate your wounds even more" Sam says, looking down at his older brother.

"I know that, Sam. But I'm stronger than you give me credit for, I would think you of all people would know that" Dean says, grabbing his jacket and walking out of the motel room. Sam sighed and followed with the car keys. Dean was standing outside the driver's side of the Impala, frowning.

"Dean there is no way I'm letting you drive" Sam says, going around and getting in the driver's side. Dean rolled his eyes and walked around, getting in on the passenger's side and glaring at Sam. Sam just looked at him.

"I'm doing this for your own good Dean. Don't tell me you wouldn't do the same" Sam says, knowing he'd won the argument. Dean crossed his arms and looked out the window. When they got to the restaurant, the boys walked inside and looked around, finding a table. Sam pulled Dean's chair out for him.

"Dude…I'm not a girl" Dean says, very irritated and somewhat embarrassed.

"Okay Dean, okay. I'm sorry" he says, sitting in his own seat. He looked at the menu for a moment and then put it down. Dean didn't even have to look at the menu; he always ordered the same thing. The waitress came and took their orders, all the while making googly eyes over Dean and, for some reason unbeknownst to Sam, making Sam jealous. Sam glowered at the waitress until she walked away, then sighed, crossing his arms on the table. Dean looked at him, figuring out something was troubling his younger brother.

"What's the matter, Sammy?" he asks, copying Sam's position. Sam looked at him then sighed again.

"Nothing Dean" he says, looking around the room, trying at any costs to avoid looking at Dean. "How're your ribs?" he asks

"fine" Dean says dryly, staring directly at Sam. Sam sighed and closed his eyes until he heard the waitress approaching again. She set their food down and winked at Dean, who just chuckled and began eating quietly. Sam ate slowly, still not looking at Dean. The brothers ate in silence and Sam paid.

"Well Sammy, I gotta say you sure know how to treat a man" Dean says, chuckling at his own joke. Sam blushed deeply and looked at the ground, fidgeting in his seat. Dean raised an eyebrow.

"You okay there, Sammy?" Dean asks, curious.

"Fine!" Sam says a little too quickly, standing and walking outside, praying to God that Dean didn't see his blush. Dean stared after him for a moment, then a smile crept over his face and he got up and followed Sam. He got in the passenger's side of the impala with a large, satisfied grin on his face. Sam was looking down so his hair covered his eyes and most of his face as he started the impala. Dean glanced at him as he started driving back to the motel.

"Gotta be hard to see, Sammy" Dean says smugly.

"I'm fine, Dean" Sam says softly. The rest of the drive held nothing but silence. Sam shut off the Impala and Dean went back into the motel room. Sam followed minutes later. Dean stepped in front of Sam before Sam could sit down on his bed.

"Excuse me, Dean" Sam says, stepping to the side. Dean stepped to the side as well.

"really, Dean?" he asks, stepping to the other side, Dean following suit. Sam rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Move, Dean" Sam says angrily, glaring down at him. Dean just smiled.

"You don't scare me, Sammy" Dean says, looking up at him. Green eyes locked with Hazel ones as they captured each other's gaze. Both brothers knew that they should look away, but neither one could. Dean stepped closer to Sam, causing Sam to back up. Dean frowned and stepped toward him again, causing Sam to back up again.

"Stop avoiding me, Sammy" Dean says, stepping toward him.

"We can't do this, Dean" Sam says, backing up. "Do you know what dad would do to us?" he asks, sadness underlying his tone.

"I do know, Sam. Frankly, I don't care at the moment. You said you'd do anything for me. Well, this counts as anything right?" Dean asks seriously. Sam sighed and nodded.

"I'm not asking you to fall for me, all I'm asking is for you to…help me…occasionally…only when I really need it. There will be ground rules of course" Dean says, finally breaking his eyes free of Sam's. Sam continued watching him, unable to remove his eyes from the beauty that was Dean..

"Rules? Like what?" Sam asks.

"No kissing. It'd be awkward and the would definitely be attachment that way" Dean says, completely serious.

"Okay," Sam says, nodding.

"No visible hickies. We don't want Dad finding out" Dean says, looking up at Sam, who simply nodded in understanding.

"Last…protection. Always. Unprotected means attachment…" Dean says, looking down. Sam nodded and approached Dean, pulling him into a tight hug. Dean raised an eyebrow for a moment, then relaxed and wrapped his arms around Sam as well, feeling his little brother in his arms. It felt right. Like Sam had been made to be in his arms. Sam closed his eyes and rubbed Dean's back, causing Dean to relax even more. Dean let go of Sam and ran his hands under Sam's jacket, pushing it off Sam's shoulders and just looking at his little brother. He liked what he saw. However, he wanted more. He wanted to see his brother's bare body just waiting to be touched. Question was…would Sam go that far right here right now?

A/N: Well, here you are. Yes I know I'm evil for leading up to so much and then giving you nothing…but that just means there's more to look forward to next time! YEAH!
