He fell.

They were in a cave, following rumours of people vanishing in the woods, and they found a hole in the ground and bones near the entrance. They found skeletons. They found the monsters. They found their usual hunting trip, a bit darker this time, but nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing they couldn´t handle.

But Dean fell.

Dean fell and Sam followed, climbing deeper into the dark, finding Dean broken on the wet ground. He touched him then, touching blood and bones breaking through skin. And when he looked up, staring at the stone wall he climbed down to find Dean, he knew that he wouldn´t be able to get Dean out of there. He knew that he couldn´t leave Dean alone, that Dean would be dead before Sam would find any help. So he stayed.

He stayed and he listened as Dean breathed through blood and moaned in pain. He stayed and listened to his brother dying beside him and then, at the end, he kissed him. Their last kiss and it tasted of blood and dirt. Still, it tasted of Dean, too, of days spent on the road and cheap beer. It tasted like their first fuck, a month before Sam left for Stanford; and it tasted like their second, six weeks after their father died. It tasted like falling and breaking and being wrong and right. It tasted...

Like Dean fell and Sam followed.
