Darkness stretches over the abandoned road, the Impala a silent silhouette under a starless sky. Inside, two warriors have succumbed to exhaustion. Dean, who never sleeps easy, is slack in Castiel’s steady hold, his head tipped back, breath falling into a deep, even rhythm. The only sign of life outside is Sam, his tall frame powdered with grave dust and straw, as he walks back from the ruined barn. He pauses at the driver’s window, a knowing, affectionate smirk touching his lips at the sight: his older brother nestled against Cas as if he’s finally found safe harbor. Sam lifts a hand and raps his knuckles lightly against the cold glass.
