Prompt: Splinter
Note: Takes place during "Hunted" (season 2)
Together Again
The explosion from the back room created a violent spray of splintered wood and plaster. Dean ducked as far as the ropes would allow and released a muffled scream of panic, desperation, and fear.
As the debris settled into silence, he became dizzy with despair and deafened by the pounding of his own heart until he heard the scuffle, the thud,…and finally, the pattern of familiar footsteps which loosened the clamp around his chest.
But it was the feel of a casted hand, dropped heavily onto his shoulder and followed by a gentle squeeze, which allowed Dean to breathe again.
