ooc; Set for about two years after This Thread. ; Nearing the end of Season 8.
"Hey." Sam came up behind Dean in the bunker's library, his complexion a little paler than its normal shade, and a light sheen of sweat coating his brow, which were both seemingly permanent fixtures to the younger Winchester's features these days with two trials down and only one left. Dean was leaning back in his chair, his feet kicked up on the table in front of him, drinking a beer. He lowered the bottle. "You ok?" It was pretty much the first thing he asked Sam every day upon first laying eyes on him whenever he woke from one of his long naps, and was on a loop throughout the day, repeating the question multiple times. And Sam was ready with his just as repetitive answer of, "I'm fine." Coughing roughly a few times, Sam took the seat opposite his brother and pulled two folded sheets of paper from an inner jacket pocket, dropping them down onto the table between them. "I found something. A case." Dean massaged his temples with the beer-free hand wearily. "Sam" he began but Sam cut him off, pushing the pages closer. "Three people in Gainesville Florida have been found stabbed to death inside their locked apartments. No finger prints, no forced entry." Dean swung his feet down from the table, straightening in his chair. "Sam, we've been over this. You are sick. We're taking a knee until"- "Until what Dean" Sam interrupted again with an exasperated tone. "Look, we both know what this is. We both know it's not GOING to get better until the third trial is done. Well guess what? We don't know what that is." "Kevin's working on it" Dean insisted. Which was true but so was what Sam countered with. "It could take months for him to get anything workable with just half a tablet. Remember what you said" he went on, speaking over whatever argument Dean was going to put on the table next. "At the beginning of the year. We don't ignore things like this because of personal issues. We save as many people as we can while waiting on Kevin."
Well Dean thought this was a little unfair. It was totally different circumstances for one thing. The personal issue he'd been talking about had been Sam taking a year off and wanting to shop at a farmer's market rather than look into several apparent heart attacks that weren't heart attacks at all. Being lazy and being sick were two entirely different things. This was also the second time recently Sam had quoted his own words back at him. "What do you do, memorize everything I say" Dean grumbled, unsure whether he was annoyed or flattered by this. Sam didn't answer this, merely waited with a pointed look for Dean to cave. Which didn't take very long. "Fine." He threw up his hands. "We'll go." As concerned as he was for Sam's health, saving people was their job.
Their life.
