Shush-shush-shush
was the sound of his mother's hand against his back in slow circles, hot skin on warming cotton. It drew a protective ring around him and let him close his eyes against the monsters under the bed.
Shush-shush-shush
became the sound of dad's cleaning rods pushing soft felt through the chambers and barrels of guns. It set a steady beat that let him know that eyes other than his own were watching the darkened windows.
Shush-shush-shush
ended up as the flipping of pages under Sam's fingers. It was the lullaby that let Dean know he was home, and safe.
