“Sam?” Dean reaches out toward him without thinking. Sam reacts to his touch like it burns, eyes wide and unfocused as his hands lash out; under his breath, barely audible, Dean hears Sam whispering no; no, please. Something cold twists in his gut as he retreats, pressing himself against the other side of the stairwell and raising his hands in surrender. “Sam, it's me,” he says. “It's Dean.” But Sam doesn't hear him. He's muttering and still holding his hands up, and Dean sees a trickle of blood slide down from his hairline before following the contours of his face into the dip under his eye and then down his nose. Sam knocks himself off the step and fumbles down two more before Dean finally hears him breathe. “Dean?” he whispers. In other words... After the events of 11x14, Sam's feeling the effects of what Lucifer did to him but figures Dean has enough on his plate. Things don't work out as he planned, and Dean figures out anyway. Needless to say, spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.
