Is there a word for when the fill is shorter than the prompt? Because, that!

Dean spits into the toilet, flushes and sighs.

"Flat ginger ale," Sam announces, coming into the bathroom with a cheap plastic cup. He sets it on the edge of the sink. "How're you feeling?"

Dean stands up shakily. He shivers and marvels again at his beard in the mirror. "Itchy," he says, and scratches his jaw through the coarse hair.

:::

"You coming down with something?" Sam asks, stretched out on his bed across the room. Dean finishes tugging on the sweatshirt and starts working on some extra socks.

"Nah." Dean looks at Sam's bare legs, at the sunshine out the window. "Just cold."

Sam makes him hot chocolate.

:::

"Dude," says Sam. He's giving Dean a panicky look. His big, suit-jacketed arms reach up and grip Dean by the shoulders.

Dean glances behind himself, alarmed. "What?"

"I need you to stay very calm."

"Is there something on me?"

Sam leads Dean to the car and sits him in the back. He jabs two fingers into Dean's carotid. "Breathe with me," Sam says, inhaling demonstratively.

"I am breathing." Dean comes to his senses and bats his brother away. "Sam, what the hell?"

"You're sweating like..." Sam wipes Dean's forehead with his palm. He heaves a shaky sigh. "Maybe we should get your heart checked out."

Dean sags. He smiles grimly. "It's not my heart."

:::

"Popsicles in winter?" The checkout clerk looks up at Sam as he rings them through. "Really?"

Sam tosses a bill on the counter. "That's how I roll."

OMG yes, warm pie when he's chilly! How cute would that be?

I'm so glad you liked it!!! Such a good prompt. And yes, it wouldn't have been quite right for your birthday without some pukiness, so Dean came back from purgatory with a beard and an upset tummy.

I hope you have some awesome cake-and-margarita action tonight! Have a fabulous fabulous b-day.

Sam freaking out, Dean having no clue. Hee!

Um!

And then Sam took Dean's temperature a lot! And Dean started wearing tearaway stripper clothes in case of sweaty moments! And Sam bought a heavy wool blanket and stored it in the trunk, because he never knew when his Deaniecakes would go all teeth-chattery on him. And once in an abandoned house Dean let Sam full-on cuddle him through a really bad chill on a muggy June night, with mosquitoes whining in their ears.

Theeee end.

(Thank you!! ♥)
