"Sam!" Dean called again.
He wasn't used to this silence. He expects to get a response from Sam whenever he calls for him. No matter how mad Sam was, he never ignored Dean when he was called by the nickname that only Dean was allowed to call him. So, he tried that.
"Sammy. Sammy, come on dude." But the response didn't come. He grabbed Sam's shoulders and shook him.
"Sam, come on man. Wake up. We need to get out of here." Dean shook him harder this time. And Sam's eyes fluttered a little.
"There you go. Sam, look at me." Dean grabbed the back of Sam's neck and straightened his head to look at his face.
Sam tried to open his eyes. God he tried so hard to look at Dean. He just can't not answer to his brother when he is calling him with so much effection.
But opening his eyes were so hard. The darkness behind his eye lids were addictive, like it was the solution to his sleep deprivation. Maybe it was. He couldn't think clearly. Sleep and Dean were trying equelly hard to pull him to the other direction.
And it was easier to give in to the darkness of sleep.
"No.NO. Sammy!" Dean tightened his arms in Sam's back and pulled him closer. They were both wet with sweat and sticky with blood. The blood pouring out from where the angel blade had impaled Sam's side soaked through Dean's jacket and through his shirt, making him slick.
"Please Sam. Stay with me baby brother. We gotta get outta here and get ya patched up." Dean tried to stay strong.
He had to. His baby brother needed his help. Needed HIM. So he wrapped himself tighter around Sam. As if trying to hold Sam's soul in his body.
He had so much to say. So much to explain. Sam was his entire universe and everything in it. And he couldn't leave Dean like that. So, he tried to will Sam's wound away.
Sam heard him. And Dean's voice cut through the blanket of darkness right down to his torned up soul. So he forced his eyes to open. He had to see that person. The same one that was everything and the only thing he ever had.
And he saw green. Like a forest or an ocean full of weeds. Green eyes that was like oxygen to him. The green eyes that had been made glossy with tears and dark with anger and sparkling with love so many times because of him.
"Dean" Sam rasped. The name felt like liquid glass in his mouth.
"Yeah Sammy? I'm right here. I got you, okay? Just stay with me."
"I'm sorry Dean." He caughed and choked on the blood that had faught it's way though his throat and out of his mouth.
And it came back, the thick black in his eyes. Came with so much force that Sam had to give in to it. The loud buzzing in his ears and the throbbing pain in his stomack faded untill he couldn't feel anymore.
Couldn't feel Dean's hands on his back, head, hair, face. But he knew that they were there. And that's all he needed to know. That Dean was here. He just hoped, no, maybe he prayed or begged to whoever was up there that Dean would get out of here in time.
"Sammy. Sam you're scaring me. Sam. Sam WAKE UP!" Dean shouted.
The burning sheets had started to fall from the roof. The house losing the battle to the fire.
"Dean we need to get out." Crowly said. Castiel grabbed Sam's limb arm in an attempt to separate him from Dean.
"Don't touch him. Don't you touch him." Dean screamed and jerked his hand away. His Sammy needed him. No one else. He couldn't leave him.
He gathered his little brother's lifeless body in his arms and crushed him to his chest. Pressed untill there was no space left between them. And he sobbed. His screams stood higher than the roar of the fire and tore through the thick night.
If that was it, if Sam was dying, then he wasn't dying alone. Dean would make sure of it.
Outside, Crowly, Castiel and Amara stood still. Their war against each-other forgotten as they watched the wooden house finally crack and crumble down with burning heat and blinding light from the fire.
No one dared to try to save Dean. They didn't try to separate the brothers like they had so many times before.
They just watched them end. Or maybe it was a new start. It didn't matter. What mattered was that the brothers were together.
Sam an Dean against the world...... like always. That never changed.
