“Not outside of holidays. That’s what the other you told me.”
Sam shook his head at he gazed at Dean with wide green eyes. “So there was no us.” It wasn’t a question.
Dean laughed bitterly. “’Course not, Sammy. We both had girls; you and Jessica were engaged.”
“Yeah, I suppose.”
There was silence for a few moments before Dean admitted softly, “I missed you, the real you, while I was there.”
Sam smiled gently at him but said nothing. Dean moved over to sit beside him on the bed and went on. “It was great, having mom back, and Jessica and Carmen. Seeing you all happy. But it was wrong, you know? Not the way it was meant to be. I just wish…”
“I know, Dean,” Sam said, taking his hand and running his thumb across it gently. “You would have liked to stay.”
Dean looked away. “I don’t know if I could have, without you.”
Sam reached out a hand and caught his chin, turning his brother back to face him, and their eyes locked, green meeting intense green. “I’m glad you came back.” He kissed him tenderly.
After a few moments they pulled apart, resting their foreheads together. “Yeah, me too.”
