It wasn't like Sam was setting out to make Dean feel like crap for saving his life--he knew why he had to do it and yeah, he was grateful. But the side effects were crappy and more than a little unsettling... he didn't know how to deal with suddenly dreaming about his brother naked or how he might feel pressed up against him or rutting on him. He didn't know how to deal with knowing Dean could feel whatever the hell he felt if it was strong enough.

He'd never been an entirely open book, especially now, so... now that he was forced to be? He was uncomfortable.

But it wasn't like he blamed Dean or even wanted him to feel bad over it, really.. He'd insisted on going along knowing the dangers, had been the one to get attacked and unable to save his own ass.

On the other hand, he also wasn't too pleased with Dean's attitude last night either. "Good."

He got to his feet at the question and nodded. "Yeah, Ohio. Found something that sounded like it might be up our alley in Toledo."
