And sometimes it rains on a sunny day...

Adam was ash, back to the Earth he had come from. Sam found the biblical reference amusing, which let him ignore the sprained ankle, slashed wrists, and hole just above his liver. Dean had found him some good drugs to take the edge off the pain, but it still hurt like a bitch and standing up for so long had drained him.

Literally.

Anna had to support him as they watched over Adam while he got a hunter's funeral. The blood left in his body was being pulled down by gravity so he was light headed, and by the time the three of them were back at the Impala, Sam just curled up in the backseat and slept.

Anna and Dean weren't talking again, but what else was new? He just ignored them and slipped back off into the blissfulness of unconsciousness.

The next morning he woke up with a groan, his head pounding and still nauseous. "Water," he groaned, not even opening his eyes. Someone was in the room with him and would help him.

God he hated being this week. But he hated throwing up more and if he didn't get some water in his mouth soon...

This got a small smile out of Anna, and she shifted so that Sam would be more comfortable in her arms. "Do me a favor, love? Don't let your brother beat himself up for this. I don't hate him, and I'm not angry with him. I love him, and my door will always be open for the both of you."

"I will try, but this is Dean. He doesn't listen to me most of the time when it comes to this stuff." He shifted a bit as well to get comfortable.

"And I'm glad to hear. Because with this war... there might be a day we'll need that door."

Sighing, she nodded and gently kissed the top of Sam's head. "If it were up to me I'd be fighting right beside you boys."

[likely_evil]

"I'd rather you be safe. I don't want to lose anyone else."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"You and Dean both." She whispered.

[likely_evil]

"It's why I can understand his reasoning, even if the timing sucks."

Nodding, she shifted a little to help Sam lay back down in bed before curling up next to him and pulling the covers up. She was cold and exhausted from staying up all night to keep watch over him. "I wish it didn't hurt so much to love him."

[likely_evil]

"Part of being around Dean. Caring about him one minute, resisting shooting him the next."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I wish he could see what's right in front of him." She said sadly.

[likely_evil]

"No, that's the thing. He does see what's right in front of him. He doesn't see to the sides. Tunnel vision. One of the vices of Oedipus."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"So what exactly constitutes Dean's tunnel vision?" She yawned, laying her head carefully against Sam's shoulder.

[likely_evil]

"All he sees is trying to keep people safe. He doesn't think about what he wants or needs."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Yeah, that sounds about right..." She trailed off with a heavy sigh. "And you think he needs me?"

[likely_evil]

"You're one of the best things that has ever happened to him, Anna. Never doubt that."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

Averting her eyes, she was about to cry but sucked a breath in. "Y-Yeah. But he either can't see that or won't see that."

[likely_evil]

"He won't see it, because he thinks it'll weaken him. He's wrong, but you know as well as I do he won't see it any other way right now."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's Dean for you."

[likely_evil]

"Just give him time, and he'll realize he misses you and will be calling."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

Snorting, she rolled her eyes and yawned. "That won't happen, Sam. Not until this war is over. Even then..."

[likely_evil]

"Let's just get through one day at a time, alright?"
