dean is hungry. he's always hungry. these days, if he isn't hungry then that means he's sick. so the pain is good. it keeps him awake, keeps him sharp, lets him know he's okay.

sammy is asleep, mouth open around snores. face down on the tiny, cramped single bed they're sharing, he's just slightly quieter than the tv. bleeding body heat against dean's hip and leg, a little sweaty and taking up too much space. alive, safe. splayed out across the mattress.

that's okay, though. dean can't lay down. he's not allowed to sleep until his dad gets home. he's got to stay awake, to watch out for sammy.

the tv flashes, spilling light over the mountains of his knees. this motel room is disgusting. everything reeks of cigarette smoke, staining the walls and sheets and making dean slightly nauseous. that could be the hunger, though.

sometimes when he's really, really hungry like he is now, he feels sick. like his stomach is a hole, swallowing up his insides.

he watches the quiet tv screen— some spanish movie is playing. the subtitles are moving too fast for his eyes to keep up, so he focuses on the colors, watches the shadows rise and swell over his knees.

yesterday was his birthday. dad didn't say a word, just dropped a twenty on the table and left for the bar and didn't come home until after four in the morning. there isn't a case in this town that they've found so far, but apparently the whiskey is good because they've been here for days.

he and sam had breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the first time in months. dean has perfected the art of making a cent stretch. he's eleven years old, now. they even had a pie. it was a little stale, and a stupid splurge. but sammy begged, and dean was helpless to say no because he wanted it just as much.

he doesn't feel any older. sometimes he feels ancient. right now he feels small and paper thin.

he's sort of desperately missing the sandwiches they had for dinner yesterday. there are no leftovers. no food waiting in the cabinets, but that's okay. dad fell asleep and dean stole ten dollars from his wallet.

he won't miss it. sammy will have breakfast. dean can wait a few more hours

it doesn't matter if he's starving.

_

"like this. use the spatula to pull them in from the edges so all the uncooked egg spills out. makes them fluffier. that, and the milk."

dean demonstrates. jack watches like a hawk even though he can't even see over the edge of the stove standing on his own, two little fists gripping the collar of cas's shirt like a lifeline to keep him steady as he leans over.

they're all pressed up together to fit in front of the stove, jack perched on cas's hip, and like this, side-by-side, dean can compare their near perfectly similar facial expressions. blonde hair and dark brown, the same cleft chin and bright blue eyes.

cas makes an identical face watching dean cook scrambled eggs to the one he does while focused on a hunt, channeling all of his angelic skill and strength for something as trivial as food or as important as measuring spell ingredients. jack is mirroring it almost uncannily.

dean isn't ashamed to admit that he finds it adorable.

he finishes up the eggs under the two careful sets of eyes and turns off the stove, letting cas hand him jack's plate first. a tiny pancake with a chocolate chip smile, two slices of sam's shoeleather bacon, and a small spoonful of eggs. there's already a bowl of fruit waiting for him on the table. jack is very particular about what he eats.

cas sets him down gently and dean hands him his plate, trusting the toddler to make it to the table because jack is always very careful.

"breakfast!" dean leans back to shout down the hall, tugging off his apron. cas's hand is huge and warm in the small of his back as he makes their plate, heaping on a pile of real bacon that won't leave the faint taste of burnt plastic in his mouth when he's finished eating it.

sam comes in first, followed shortly by eileen. his hair is still wet from his morning shower and together, they've been slowly reorganizing the library into something efficient.

they all make their plates and settle down to eat. it's a little crowded around the table, but they make do.

cas doesn't eat much. what he does comes off dean's plate, which was made up specifically in mind of that.

sam piles so much fruit onto his that it spills over into his eggs and he makes a face, freeing a blueberry only to sentence it to being crushed between his molars.

eileen loves pancakes with fruit. specifically strawberries. dean made her's special, and when she sees that she lights up. it makes him smile, wide and happy, as they sign back and forth over the table, conversing silently.

he's still a little clumsy. cas helps him practice. he's getting better every day.

dean isn't full, yet. but, he isn't starving. he hasn't been in years. he won't ever be again.

jack smears his eggs everywhere, babbles on and on in a mismatch of both english and asl. cas watches him with huge, beautiful eyes. jack is telling them a largely exaggerated tale about a lady at the grocery store yesterday with a service dog whose tail and ears had been dyed rainbow. they've all heard about it twice, now. jack had been absolutely fascinated by the colors and the dog until he got distracted by the cereal aisle.

dean feels so young, for the first time in his entire life. he's home. he's happy. he's safe.

It’s cute, though. You pretending you’re trying to save Sam for the greater good, when we both know you’re doing it for you. You can’t lose him. 

SAM AND DEAN in SEASON 11

[spinachpuffles]

I absolutely adore this because Sam’s music taste is just not talked about, it’s just generally implied that he and Dean are at odds about their preferred taste so I love hearing peoples theories. I always thought he probably went through a good The Cure & The Smiths phase, and as he gets older he really loves classics like Aretha Franklin or Sam Cooke but has always listened to Billie Holiday, 50s style music when he just wants something in the background while he’s working/researching/etc. I love the idea of Elvis too, I could definitely see him and Dean playing Elvis in the bunker all the time

The whole thing about Sam's favorite musician being Celine dion doesn't really sit well with me. Sure haha it's funny but it's just another jab at sam being a sensitive geek. And i feel like he's more than just that. Also a side point is this comes from an episode of season 14 🤡 anyway maybe it's just because idk Celines music tbh i ever only heard like maybe one or two. But uh uh no im gonna get my own headcanon on this. And actually i like the thought of his favorite musician being Elvis Presley

[spinachpuffles]

[they get lost on the road]

Sam: Let's look at Dean's directions

Jo: Okay. "I-43 to Highway 60. Head east when it gets different." 'When it gets different.' What the hell does that mean?

Sam: Wait. Let me see that. "Go a ways past the… fancy thing… and turn left at the ugly house."

Jo: [sarcastically] Oh, well, if the "fancy thing's" a dead cow, then we're almost there!

[spinachpuffles]

THIS IS BASED OFF A TIKTOK I SAW BUT IMAGINE THIS IF YOU WERE THE BOYS’ YOUNGER SIBLING

Dean: Hey kiddo, how was school?

Y/n: it was good i met a boy today!

Dean: …

Sam: …

Dean: oh yeah? what uhh what was this boy’s name?

Y/n: his name was michael and he told me he likes me!

Dean & Sam *panic*: …

Y/n: we held hands and everything!

Dean & Sam: *look to each other* YOU HELD HANDS???!?!?!??

Y/n: yeah :D

Dean: oh no, oh my god, Sam..you know what we have to do…

Sam: agreed.

Dean & Sam: *grab Y/n and carry them to the sink, and stick their hands under the faucet*

Dean: SANITIZE! SANITIZE!

Y/n: *uncontrollable laugher* no! it was only for like five minutes!

Sam: Five whole minutes!!!! This calls for the holy water…

Y/n: *dying laughter with hands still under running water*

RAHARAHARAHARAHARAH im feral for this hc

[spinachpuffles]

Hc's for Dean & Sam when their hunter girlfriend's take care of them after they get hurt (minor injuries) on a hunt.

Dean:

🗡 This man is stubborn af when it comes to you patching him up

🗡 Half the time he plays it off like it's nothing or no big deal

🗡 The other half he's just like don't worry about it I can patch it up myself or have Sammy or Cas fix it

🗡 But you've been with him long enough to become immune to all of it

🗡 And even have you own tricks up your sleeve so he has no other choice to let you patch him up

🗡 Some examples would be to threaten to take away any & all sexy times with him

🗡 Or telling him he'll never be allowed to patch you up again

🗡 Along with many more tricks

🗡 So he just gives in & let's you patch him up

🗡 Thanks to fixing him up so many times you've pretty much perfected your stitching skills

🗡 And he never fails to mention how much steadier your hands are than his own or Sammy's

🗡 Even if it's just a quick stitch to hold something until Cas can heal it

🗡 And even though he tries to act all composes & macho when your taking care of him you still ask him how he's holding up

🗡 Which never fails to bring a smile to his face because he lowkey loves it when you worry about him being in pain or if your doing a good job

🗡 It's more so of a normal thing now for you two to patch each other up

🗡 Not just because you two get that quality intimate time together

🗡 But because you two comfort each other like no other can & it puts both of you at ease knowing your gunna be okay whenever you finish patch each other up

🗡 And it certainly helps that you've picked up a few things from some magic books you've found around the library about healing & other medical things

Sammy:

🔪 He honestly prefers you being the one to patch him up

🔪 Mainly because of how gentle & cautious you are whenever you fix him up

🔪 Yeah he's more than capable of patching himself up, but then he's miss out on you being worried about him & just doting on him

🔪 He just loves when you comfort him, okay. Plus he deserves it ♡

🔪 He actually taught you how to do stitches

🔪 Yeah you were nervous af & afraid of hurting him more, but he was able to remain calm & guide you through the entire process

🔪 You were surprised needless to say with how well the stitches came out, but you just chalked it up to him being so calm & patent with you

🔪 He on the other hand said it was because of how soft & gentle your steady hands were

🔪 Which left you a little flustered

🔪 But at least now your not afraid to patch him up or give him stitches since he always makes sure to reassure you or help you if you need it

🔪 And he never puts up a fuss when you want to or do patch him up

🔪 He just knows better than to try & play it off like it's nothing or you don't have to worry about it

🔪 He just loves how close it makes the two of you with how you trust each other so much to patch each other up & not try to hide anything from each other

Sam starts asking if Dean needs him to drive every time Cas gets in the car with them after the one (1) time Cas put his hand on Dean’s thigh while he was driving and Dean got so flustered he almost drove them straight into a concrete barrier because he forgot he had to turn the wheel.

[spinachpuffles]

I am a firm believer that without censoring, sam swears. Maybe a bit more than the average Joe, but Sam has a bit more to swear about than the average person. Sam gets creative with it, too. He's very talented at swearing.

But Dean? He actually talks Like That. He's saved the world countless times, but he won't say anything worse than bitch.

[spinachpuffles]

Sam doesn't ask for help. Now, you might be thinking, 'Sam has asked for help before. Plenty of times.' And you'd be right. The thing is, he doesn't ask for himself. He'll ask for help if it's for Dean, or for Cas, but he doesn't ask for himself. He won't ask for help because he doesn't know how to. He never had to when he was a child, and now that he's gotten into situations where he might have to, he doesn't know how to ask. He knows what he'll need help with, but can never seem to put it into words. Cas notices how throughout the day, Sam will be lost in thought. He didn't think much of it at first, thinking that it was just something humans tend to do a lot. But he then notices how Sam becomes more fidgety around him and Dean. How he'll be playing with his fingers, or bouncing his leg, or not being able to stand still. And that's not something Sam does. So, he asks Sam if something's wrong. And Sam, not being good at asking for help, says quietly, so quietly Cas almost didn't hear him, "I actually do need help with something..." And Cas was overjoyed. He was so happy that Sam felt comfortable asking him for help, that he didn't even hesitate to help him.

[spinachpuffles]

The way Sam grounded himself with a wound on his hand makes me wonder, do you think it became a compulsion action afterwards?

Like loud noises, yelling, in the height of life and death, or even when things are fine, maybe a little too fine. He just presses it, even though it's healed. He probably wouldn't even catch on that he's doing it.

Any injury on his hand would probably become a target unconsciously. He has to pick at it or press it. Poke at it. It would be more evident with scarring but if he's healed, it goes unnoticed.

[spinachpuffles]

Researching with Sam

Sitting close together in the Men of Letters Library, huddled around a pile of books.

Making each other mugs of coffee with a special something added each time.

Placing your head on his shoulder when your reading.

Him kissing the top of your head.

You running your hands through his hair when hes reading something to you.

When you get cold, Sam places a warm blanket around your shoulders.

Always preparing special research snacks, ones that Dean wasn’t allowed to touch.

You being the only one that Sam lets use his laptop.

Swapping notes with each other.

Giving the other a kiss when they have a good idea.

Being a tag team when Dean starts to tease the both of you for researching.

Romantic, low-lit lighting.

Soft music playing in the background.

After research, Sam always massages your feet.

It’s the place that always builds up the most stress.

You felt closer to Sam when you were researching.

It was a time that the both of you could truly be yourselves.

When you get tired, Sam picks you up and carries you to bed before placing a sweet kiss to your forehead.

“I love researching with you. Goodnight princess.”

Marrying Sam Winchester Headcanons

a/n: It’s sam winchester softy hours and i love writing about him. this is the first thing i’ve written that i’ll be publishing so if u like it/want more pls let me know :,)

warnings: none just so much fluff

Sam’s proposal would be so sweet and so well thought out

He’d probably take you to a spot that means a lot to you both

He would definitely be nervous but it doesn’t show

Once he drops to his knee and you realize that he’s proposing, you’d immediately say yes without even letting him say anything first

“Can you let me ask first, love?” He would say through a laugh with the warmest smile you’d ever seen.

His hands would shake as he put the ring on you

Speaking of the ring, it wouldn’t be a traditional diamond engagement ring. I feel like he’d get a ring with your birth stone or your favorite crystal.

The Wedding though..

The appropriate amount of chaos would ensue

It’d be a very intimate wedding, only the people who mean most to you guys would be there.

You guys would find a nice field near the bunker to have the wedding

You wouldn’t have a super fancy dress, I’m thinking more like a nice white sundress

Jack would probably find some little flowers for you to put in your hair

Jody and Charlie are the coolest bridesmaids

Dean would walk with you and give you away to his little brother

a soft piano rendition of Yellow by Coldplay would be playing as you walked down the aisle

Sam would be trying his hardest not to cry when he sees you

Dean would cry a little as he gave you away

He wouldn’t even try to play it off like he wasn’t. He just loved you both so much and would be so happy for you guys.

Dean would join Cas and Jack at Sam’s side as his best men after handing you off to Sam

Bobby is also there and got ordained just so he could officiate the marriage :,)

Sam’s voice would break while trying to say his vows

He just adores you so much it’s so wholesome

At the end of the ceremony, Sam would kiss you so gentle and sweet

He’d pick you up bridal style and carry you to the impala that Dean let him borrow and drive you guys back to the bunker before everyone else came to celebrate

-

hopefully this isn’t too bad lol i had a lot of fun writing this and thinking about it :,)

[spinachpuffles]

Sam Winchester Crushing on you

a/n: hi!! new blog shit!! anyways on with the fluff

warnings: super fluff, maybe some ooc sam?

When he first realizes he’s crushing on you, he’d be SO awkward and nervous around you

Remember how he acted when he had that spicy dream about Bela?

That’s how I imagine he is with a crush

feelings are obviously mutual because have u seen him?? he’s so precious and handsome :,)

He’d get used to his new feelings for you after a while and learn how to act like a normal human around you again

He’d definitely ask you to join him on his morning runs

Always sitting next to you at diners and “accidentally” bumping your knee with his

Look, the man has legs for days.

He’d spend an absurd amount of time doing his hair to make sure he looks good for you :,)

Which Dean obviously roasts him for

But Dean is lowkey the biggest cheerleader for you two

He’s always scheming to get you guys close to each other

“Oh no the motel only has one room available and nobody can sleep in my bed because I said so”

Sam would end up putting his arm around your waist in his sleep because sleeping next to you would feel so natural to him

He has no idea that he did that though LOL

He also sleeps so much better next to you

Sam would end up admitting to his feelings for you while you’re all absolutely faced at the bunker after another apocalypse or whatever other shenanigans you find yourselves in

He’s more confident when he’s drunk and he actually would purposely drink more than he should to build the nerve to tell you

“I just th-think that you’re like … the best, you know? you’re just so smart and kind… so cute…just wanna ho-hold you sometimes” he’d say through hiccups

he’d put his hands on your cheeks and just kinda like…*squeesh*

Drunk Sammy is such a goof

He’s not the type to black out though and he remembers what he said the night before

“Mornin, y/n.”

*hungover grumbling*

He’d have a cup of coffee or tea and some advil ready for you :,)

He would say something like, “I don’t wanna make you uncomfortable or anything, but I meant what I said last night. I just care about you a lot.”

You’d reach your hands out to squeesh his cheeks like he did to you last night and it would make him smile and his lil dimples would poke out

“I like you a lot too, Sammy.”

Then he’d give you such a sweet hug

He doesn’t go straight for the first kiss at that point though

You’re special to him and he wants your relationship to be special

tldr: sam winchester is a big sweet man puppy and gets all flustered around pretty people

[spinachpuffles]

in the very rare case that sam is at a big party, a club, or a bar, he always finds someone to latch onto and stick with the entire time. this was a lot easier in college of course, because he had more friends at that time, so sam could always find someone. when he’s back in the hunting life, it’s… harder to be in places with big crowds. dean doesn’t really Get it because he’s… sam wouldn’t say extroverted, he’s just more talkative, or maybe it’s just that people actually want to talk to dean.

talking to people makes sam anxious. it’s different when they’re on a hunt, and they’re talking to the victims families. sam already has that planned out in his head, a script of sorts. but when he’s talking to other hunters, he feels so… caged in. like he can’t breathe. he loves all his friends and family with his entire heart but sometimes he just Can’t talk to them. his anxiousness mixed with his fear that everyone still sees him as a monster pretty much prevents him from being able to have an entire conversation with someone that isn’t his brother or cas (sometimes not even them).

(when charlie had told him and dean that she’d read all the supernatural books, sam threw up in the bathroom and couldn’t talk to her for 2 days)

when sam was in high school, he dreaded gym class (like almost every other kid), it wasn’t even that he was bad at the sports, sam knew that if he tried then he would actually be good. but he tends to overthink the whole thing, like, what if he falls and someone (Everyone) laughs at him? what if he gets tackled by someone Way bigger than him? what if he gets hurt and can’t help dean and his dad on hunts? he overthinks every little thing that could happen and ends up not participating at all.

[spinachpuffles]

Okay but we NEED to talk about Sam in I Know What You Did Last Summer (4x09). HE SEWS UP HIS OWN ARM! Putting like eight stitches in his own arm! HOLY SHIT! Then, as soon as he’s done, he pops Dean’s dislocated shoulder back into the socket. Sam is such a fucking badass.
