Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural that privilege belongs to CW, Kripke and Co, I'm simply borrowing them for a while. I'm not making a profit, this is just for fun and all the standard disclaimers apply.

He Ain't Heavy...

Dean's knees crash into the packed-dirt ground of the cave; numb fingers brush through his brother's hair, tracing over his cooling too-white skin, and around his unseeing wide-open eyes.

He reaches out for his brother, cradling him carefully; pulling him in so close he can taste bitter-blood on his tongue.

“Sammy.” He whispers it over and over until he chokes on it. He deserves far worse.

“We go together. That's what you said. That's what you promised.”

This world, and his own, can go to hell for all he cares. He's done.

He packed his gun; it's in his bag.



A/N: Eeeeee I'm so sorry, but this is just what came out after I watched the episode, because of course Dean would have gone back for Sam, no matter what Cas said, or how much time they had. Anyway, I just had to get this out of my system. I loved this episode though; a few weird bits, but most of it was divine and gave me many feels. As always I'd love to hear your thoughts too; on the episode, on the drabble, on everything (just no spoilers for season 14 please). Take care :)

Those are the exact two things I had issues with as well...and they could have been solved so easily in the writing!!! Grrr, I hate when Show is dumb like that...

Exactly! I think perhaps some writers get distracted with myth arcs and other characters, that they forget what the heart of the show is. It's a simple fix, and it would have made a huge difference to the scene (for me anyway). As a viewer I didn't know that Sam was for sure 100% dead, and we didnd't until a few moments later when we saw him. But Dean didn't know that, so Cas should have spelled it out more clearly.

It is very frustrating, but fandom has pretty much fixed it, so I'll leave it be. But it is annoying.
