Rush
Dean can't hold on any tighter, but that doesn't stop him from trying. Four months up here was 40 torturous years below, but now he only wanted to focus on the fact that he's back with Sam and everything, so far, seems relatively okay. Dean scrambles to envelop even more of his brother within his embrace.
Sam is shocked and overwhelmed. Four months of numbness shatters the moment he feels Dean's arms lock around his back. Colors and feeling and warmth all return at once. Sam takes an involuntary, shuddering breath, stifles a sob, and holds on tight.
Oh, God. Dean is back.
