Sam and Dean walk side by side. But when they have to make way for others sharing the same sidewalk or door or path, Sam is always the one to fall behind. He lets Dean take the lead. Lets Dean's enormous presence go before him as he sinks into his brother's shadow.

Sometimes Sam walks just behind Dean, and a little to the right. It drives Dean crazy. He says Sam's "looming."

Sometimes Sam likes for Dean to know he's walking just behind him to the right. But most of the time, Sam likes to watch the look of confusion or surprise as Dean turns his head over his right shoulder to say something to him and Sam's not there. He's switched sides.

This always earns a heavy sigh from Dean and a remark like, "Dude. What the fuck. Can't you just walk next to me? Fucking Sasquatch."

What Sam doesn't say is that Dean is too big for him to walk next to. He fills up all the spaces and Sam is left drinking him in with desperate gulps. Always getting too much and not enough.

So Sam walks next to him, in perfect stride, while he can. Because sooner or later Dean becomes that glowing force again and Sam has to step back lest he get swallowed up by the rising tide.
