My favourite part of this story is Sam experiencing a contentment he's not used to and Dean experiencing the opposite.

Dean is on the edge of sleep when the screaming starts, and he slips fully into a nightmare already in progress before he can pull himself out.

***

Sam feels an overwhelming sense of contentment as he stretches. Until he sees Dean sitting in the chair, an all-too-familiar look on his face.

It's the haunted expression that greets Sam in the mirror most mornings.

"I'm sorry," Sam says.

Dean doesn't say anything for a moment. When he does speak, his voice is rough. "Is it always like that? Sam." He leans forward and scrubs his hands over his face. "Is that what it's always like for you?"

***

The anxiety is foreign to him.

Very interesting!
