Disclaimer: I still don't own Supernatural. Damnit, that crossroads deal totally didn't work!

Author's Note: A nice John-Dean moment because Dean clearly didn't get enough on the show!


Rain

He's driven 22 hours straight but it's worth it. It's middle of the night and there's the youthful half-snort coming from the first room that tells him that Sammy's fast asleep.

Taking his coat off and shaking his head in a futile attempt to get rid of the water, John can't hear a deeper snore over the sound of the rain. He enters the room and finds Dean feigning sleep.

'Happy birthday kiddo,' John drops a kiss on his forehead, letting Dean keep his dignity intact from such chick-flick-like moments. He's exhausted as hell but it was always worth it.
