Chapter Text
“Dean.”
His brother turned around, a look on his face that Sam could not remember ever seeing; so free of worry and stress was it. His eyes crinkled in the corners as he looked at Sam, clearly delighted to see him.
Sam could barely move. He could hardly believe he was finally here. That he was seeing his brother again, in the flesh.
Well…maybe not in the flesh.
Dean reached for him, pulling him in and Sam just melted into his brother. Dean had hugged him many times and he’d felt the safety, the protection, yes, even the love – had known it was there. But this was different. This was like sinking into it, being enveloped and submerged in the essence of Dean’s love. Dean’s love for Sam.
Sam took a deep breath and just…breathed it in.
Finally. I’m home.
