~ Motel Room, Morning ~

Dean and Ethan were asleep in separate beds, Sam was nowhere to be seen.

As the door opened, Dean woke up and slipped a hand under his pillow. Ethan also woke up and grabbed a knife from under the bed. They both turned to look; it was only Sam. He came in the room carrying three coffees and some pastries.

"Morning Sunshines"

"5 more minutes dad..." Ethan dropped the knife, wrapped his pillow around his head and tried to sleep again. Sam chuckled at that

"What time is it?" Dean groggily said

"Uh, it's about five forty five" Sam replied

"In the morning?"

" Yep"

" Where does the day go? " Dean sat up, " Did you get any sleep last night?"

" Yeah, I grabbed a couple hours"

" Liar. Cause I was up at three, and you were watching a George Foreman infomercial." Dean reasoned

" When was the last time you got a good night's sleep?" Dean asked, concerned for his brother

" I don't know, a little while, I guess. It's not a big deal"

"Yeah, it is"

" Look, I appreciate your concern-"

" Oh, I'm not concerned about you. It's your job to keep my ass alive, so I need you sharp" Dean interrupted

" What about Ethan?"

" He sucks at that job..."

" I heard that!...but it's true!" Ethan's voice was muffled by the pillow.

Dean smirked, Sam just shrugged

"Seriously" Dean looked at Sam "Are you still having nightmares about Jess?"

Sam crossed the room and put down the coffees on the nightstand. He backhandtapped Ethan's back "Move"

Ethan groaned, but nonetheless, sat up. Sam grabbed one cup of coffee and gave it to Ethan "Thanks" Ethan mumbled half awake. Sam gave the other to Dean then sat beside Ethan holding the last cup of coffee.

"I still have nightmares of Jess yeah, but it's not just her. It's everything. I just forgot, you know? This job, Man, it gets to you" Sam said after a minute

" You can't let it. You can't bring it home like that" Dean advised

" Yeah, it's not good for you" Ethan added

" So, what? All this, it...never keeps you two at night?"

Dean and Ethan shook their heads

" Never? You're never afraid?" Sam asked

" No, not really" Dean answered

" Nope" Ethan answered

Sam reached under Dean's pillow, he grabbed something and pulled it out, it was a large hunting knife. He then reached at the other side of his and Ethan's shared bed and grabbed the knife that was under it. He held the two up for evidence

Dean took back the knife and Ethan just stared at his as he sipped his coffee.

"That's not fear, that's precaution" Dean reasoned

"Yeah, you could never be too cautious especially with a job like this" Ethan reasoned before taking a sip of his coffee

" All right whatever, I'm too tired to argue" Sam conceded
