Disclaimer : I own nothing.
Summary : Sam and Dean have a talk. And Sam says what needs saying.

“He said he loved me.”

“What? Who?” Sam looks up from his laptop, rubbing at his eyes tiredly. He didn’t get much sleep the night before, tossing and turning in his bed, thinking about what had happened. And his whole body aches like crazy. He has taken two Advils which do not seem to do anything. Dean looks even worse than him, sitting at the end of his bed, shoulders slumped, dejection written clearly all over him.

“Dad. That thing. Whatever. He said he loved me.” Dean looks down at his clapsed hands, his expression unreadable.

Sam doesn't say anything, waiting for Dean to say more.

Dean sighs.

“I should have known there and then that it wasn’t him,” he laughs. It sounds bitter.

“Dad .. all his life, he never said that to us. Maybe he did, before Mum died, I can’t remember, but never after.”

Sam gets up from the table and goes to sit on the bed beside his brother, close, shoulders and hips touching. He chooses his words carefully.

“Dean, you know Dad loved us, loved you. God, Dean, you knew him better than I do. He did the best he could, you know that.”

“Yeah, I do. I guess I had been wanting him to say that like, forever. And that thing knew it, knew which buttons to push. Knew that I would do anything after that. Pathetic, huh?”

Sam sighs. The silence stretches between them.

“Dean?” He hesitates.

Dean grunts.

Sam takes a deep breath, thinking, It's now or never.

“DeanIloveyou,” he says in a rush. There. He has said it. He can feel his face getting red.

‘Huh?” Dean is looking at him weirdly, like he has been talking in some foreign language or something.

“You’re right. The chicks are right. These things need to be said. So, Dean. I. Love. You.”

“You’ve been watching too much Oprah.” But Dean looks … pleased, the tension easing out of his face somewhat. He gets up from the bed, grabbing the keys from the table.

“Come on, Samantha, lets go get some breakfast.”

Sam grins. Dean has not said he loved Sam, he's Dad’s son through and through. But Sam does not need Dean to say it now, not in words. Because he has been hearing it all his life.

Loud and clear.

"Dean has not said he loved Sam, he is Dad’s son through and through. But Sam does not need Dean to say it, not in words. Because he has been hearing it all his life."

That is beautiful, right there :)

It would be one of the deleted scenes in the S3 DVD, mark my words *nods*

:D

*hugs you back*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling. I try ...

THANK YOU!!! ♥

I kept thinking on how easily Dean believed that the caller was John. Three words, and that's it. And that thing ( I'm still not quite sure what to call it, a demon? ), he knew that Sam would probably not be taken in, but Dean was easy where John was concerned.

Oh Dean, he wanted to believe so very much *sniffles*

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

marked :)

[cologne-chick.livejournal.com]

That's beautiful :-)

Some day, some way, Dean will tell Sam that. I'm sure of that.

Oh, I love this, Layne. *hugs you*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Anja :D

I love that episode, so much Dean-pain!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I wish they really *would* say it, for real ... and fandom would explode collectively :D

*hugs you back*

♥

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

Oh Lin. *meep* I love this.

Sam grins. Dean has not said he loved Sam, he is Dad’s son through and through. But Sam does not need Dean to say it, not in words. Because he has been hearing it all his life. I may be grinning like Sam a wee bit myself.

*love love love*

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

The story goes straight to my memories. *grins*

It's lovely, Layne. Wish you were one of SPN's script writers.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Remember WIAWSNB when Dean asked Mary something from his childhood, to make sure that she wasn't a demon or something? I was thinking that maybe he could have asked John something, but he didn't. I think he lost all ability to think properly the minute "John" said he loved him. Poor boy ...

Thank you, sweetheart ♥

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Heee! Thank you so much, Dian!! Ha, they won't have time to hunt anything if I were one of the scripwriters. There'd be heart-to-heart talk all day long!

[bandwench]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, YAY! I could see this play out perfectly in my mind and what a sweet, satisfying scene it was! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I am now off to work with a sappy-happy smile plastered on my face that nothing will dislodge! *hugs you till you squeak for mercy*

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Heheheh..guess so. :))

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I LOVE your icon And yes, Dean is Sam's, forever!!!

The scene at the end of the show, Dean badly wanted to talk about it I think ( for a change! ), but he didn't quite know how, and Sam wasn't helping either ( *smacks him* ) so I just have to give him, them, this.

Thank you, sweetie :))

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

This is just incredibly right. You got their personalities and their voices perfectly.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh honey, thank you so very much. Poor Dean, he wanted so very much to believe that that was his father he couldn't think straight anymore. And the demon knew it. I don't think Sam would be taken in at all.

Nice ficlet. I liked how you managed to give us the hurt/comfort we yearned for in 3.14 without sounding too chick-flicky for the boys.

“I should have known there and then that it wasn’t him,” he laughs. It sounds bitter.

Sadly, I thought the same thing when I saw the teaser. :D

Nice job.
