You Never Even Called Me by My Name

Dean walks through the front door with grocery bags in his hands. Old country music is heard playing in the distance. He sighs, and sits down his grocery bags. He walks over to Sam's armchair, and turns off the stereo. Sam is heard humming and singing along, and he is very visibly and audibly drunk. Sam is slumped over on the side of the armchair, with a fifth of Jim Beam plastered in his left fist. Sam raises his head up, and tells Dean that he was listening to that. Dean sighs, and takes the cassette tape out of the stereo. He asks Sam if he got them from Baby, to which Sam shrugs. Dean pours Sam a glass of milk, and asks him to sip on it instead. Sam was wearing a different outfit, he was wearing a plaid Carhartt button up, and light-washed Carhartt jeans. Dean tells Sam that they should only have to stay at the house for a few more weeks, and then it will be safe to head back to the bunker. He also tells Sam that Bobby didn't recommend going back immediately. He pauses for a few moments, before snoring is heard coming from Sam's armchair. Dean looks over his shoulder at Sam, and realizes that Sam is sleeping. He sighs, and says under his breath that Sam is lucky that he loves him. He hunches over, and picks Sam up. He struggles to hold him, his arms give out, and Sam rolls off of his arms and back down onto the armchair. Dean makes lunch, and there is another time-skip. Merle Haggard's "Fightin' Side of Me", is heard playing from Sam's armchair, again. Dean looks back, and sees Sam slumped over, humming along. Dean walks over and turns off Sam's stereo for a second time. Sam looks up at him, before shielding his eyes, as the blinds were up. Dean tells Sam that he will have to see the sun one way or another, to which Sam tells Dean that he had quit his job. Dean notices that Sam's eyes are heavy, he helps Sam to bed. Dean tells Sam that Sam smells like dead ants, before Sam falls back onto the bed. Sam looks up at Dean. Dean looks down at him, his hands on his waist. He tells Sam that he needs to change. He pauses, and sighs. He tells Dean that he need him to empty his bladder, and make sure it's in the bathroom. He makes sure that Sam understands. He tells Sam to make sure it's the bathroom, --and not the floor. Sam nods. Dean goes into his bedroom without closing his door all the way. He falls onto the bed, tired, and falls asleep for a few hours. He wakes up quickly to his baby brother screaming. He looks up at the alarm clock, in a panic. he shoots up, and runs into Sam's room. Sam is having convulsions. Dean shouts out Sam's name, to which Sam does not respond. Dean shakes Sam, and tries to wake him up, but, however, ends up with a bruise on his cheek, and a scar on his collarbone. Dean rushes into the kitchen and gets a pot down, and fills it with water. He fills it up, and looks back, almost jumping at what he saw. Sam is standing in the doorway, creepily, looking at Dean. Dean looks Sam up and down, he looks like he has no pants on. Dean asks Sam what it is with the shorts, to which Sam replies, telling Dean that they're underwear. Sam hold onto the doorframe. Dean asks Sam what he dreamt about, to which Sam does not answer, indicating that it was a nightmare. Dean drains the pot as Sam finally tells him what he dreamt about. Sam explains to Dean that he was getting suffocated. Dean tries to tell Sam that he was sweating badly, but Sam cuts him off by saying that Dean had turned off his fan. They make direct eye contact, making Dean uncomfortable. Sam sniffs and rubs his nose, which makes Dean ask him if he's sick. Sam asks him what he thinks, to which prompts Dean to ask him if he's been feeling himself, to which Sam replies, "Of course not." Sam stumbles back over to his bed, and falls back down onto it. He bounces off of the bed, and a loud thud was heard. Dean reluctantly opens the door, and sees Sam lying on the floor, holding his knee. Sam was groaning in pain. Dean helps Sam up and tells him that he need to bathe regardless. Dean helps Sam into the bathroom and asks him what he wants to wear, to which Sam tells him that he wants to wear his orange Texas t-shirt. Dean tells Sam that he's lucky that he had washed that shirt yesterday. Dean throws him the shirt, and asks him why he even has it, because he has never been to Texas. Sam tells Dean that he just likes Texas. Dean nods, and says that Sam can do the rest himself. He closes the door, and watches TV. He hears the shower turn off, and the door open. He looks back, and immediately covers his eyes. He tells Sam to come on, as Sam was half naked. Dean rubs his eyes in an attempt to forget what he had just witnessed. Dean narrates that he can hear Sam horsing around in his bedroom. Dean cracks open a beer and continues to watch TV. Sam goes back into the bathroom, which Dean notices, but ignores. After a few minutes, he looks back, all he can see is a bright light shining out from under the bathroom door. Sam comes out a few minutes later, dressed. Dean stops him in the hallway by saying his name. He tells Sam that Bobby is looking for Annie. Sam stumbles back into his bedroom.
