John doesn’t know why the lady across the counter at
the gas station goes a little pale when he says: “If you’d ring it up quickly
that’d be great, ‘cause me and my boys are in a bit of a hurry.”
Impatience claws at him when she glances out the window
at the Impala. “Those are your sons?” she asks, faintly.
John follows her gaze. Dean’s in the front seat reading
a map, Sam’s slouching moodily in the backseat. Nothing is out of the ordinary,
and John says tightly: “Yeah. Now, if we could hurry this up?”
Her eyes flicker over to John’s for only a moment, and
there’s something in her eyes. Fear perhaps; John sees fear in everyone’s eyes these
days, but this just might be pity,
and John glares at her as she hands him his change.
“God bless you all,” is the last thing she says, and
John must stop himself from rolling his eyes.
Fuck, he’s
happy to leave these bible belt states, even if it’s for a wendigo in North
Dakota.
John doesn’t know that she’s seen his boys before.
He doesn’t know that just the night before, his boys
had wandered into the same gas station with Dean’s arm possessively slung over
Sam’s shoulder. He doesn’t know that Dean had bought Sam ice-cream; doesn’t
know that Dean had kissed Sam’s pink mouth right there in front of her; doesn’t
know the smug smirk on Dean’s face as he’d made Sammy blush prettily beneath fluorescent
lights.
John doesn’t know that she’d cooed over them and asked
how long they’d been together.
John doesn’t know that Sam had gazed dreamily up at
Dean and said: “Since forever.”
Your brother smiles at you around a mouthful of blood and you think, this is our life. This is the nightmare that keeps us awake at night. This is the reward we get for saving the human race.
Your brother smiles at you around a mouthful of blood, and you wonder when you stopped caring about the way it stains his teeth. When did it stop making you feel sick? When did it start feeling normal?
Your brother smiles at you around a mouthful of blood, and you want nothing more than to lick it clean, to kiss into his mouth until it doesn’t taste of copper anymore.
Your brother smiles at you around a mouthful of blood, and you smile right back, because this is your nightmare and this is your reward.
a couple of caps from the samjess project that i’ve been working on recently. the full animatic should be finished for valentine’s day so watch this space !
i see this gif’d/capped a lot but can we talk about the context and what sam says right before this look?
you meet someone like her, ever make you wonder
if it’s worth it? putting everything else on hold, doing what we do?
and dean looks at sam like are you kidding me? i would put anything on hold just to sit here in this car next to you because you are the light of my life and my favorite thing and i would die for you a thousand times over and live for you too, only for you. nothing has ever been more worth it.
