I rewatched the clip on Twitter and fuck... How INSANE is that you say that about a "friend" who has a wife, a mother, a father, sons, etc, like over all of them, YOU, You are the one who really believes in him.
Just WOW, I have heard the clip 10000000 times and always I get the same way, just WOW.
How much do you have to love that person to say that? Like dude...You have to feel it in your bones
The reason that Sam and Dean almost exclusively date long term when the other isn't there is anyone who sees the two of them practically radiating codependancy like the steam from a sulpheric hot pool gets the sudden feeling that if it was ever a choice between someone else and their brother, that someone would be left to die with only a spare moment of guilt and indecision. Everyone around them knows that the whole world and all of reality plays second fiddle to the brother. It's only when one of them is alone, left bereft without his compass that people can tell themselves it's just normal grief and that they are number 1 in his life. Until said brother comes back into their life and like the absolute wrecking ball the two of them are, their lover is left reeling and alone. You have no chance of being chosen over the brother. No chance of holding his gaze when the other is there. If your smart, you stay away from the Winchesters and let them spiral around each other like 2 stars pulled into a black hole. And you pray that it's never a choice between your life and Sam or Deans because they will throw you off a bridge before letting a hair on their brothers head be harmed.
I like this hug amongst the few ones the brothers exchange during the seasons, as it is unexpected. Sam did not expect it, at least.
It should be season 8. Both brothers are tired and broken, for different reasons, and their relationship's being battered from all sides, by Heaven and Hell doing their best to turn their lives upside down.
Dean walks straight to baby brother when he starts talking, apologizing for something. Big brother doesn't want to hear. He wants to feel. As he's not good with words (or, that's what he thinks), he uses his body, his arms.
I love you, baby bro. I'm so happy you're close to me, now.
And Sam, just says yes, big bro, I'm here. I love you, too. Leans into the big arms wrapping around him, and lets his hands close sweetly on Dean's back.
