Sick Day
Dean caught up with Sam at the local library. It had been a long couple of days, so he wasn't surprised when he walked into the otherwise deserted reference room and found his brother - head on the table and drooling on a book.
But any plans of embarrassing the kid were shelved when Sam didn't stir despite Dean's un-stealthy approach. He lightly touched exposed skin on the back of Sam's neck and didn't need a thermometer to tell that a fever had set in.
Dean grabbed his brother's shoulders and gently shook.
"C'mon, man. Let's call it a day."
