Fic: Like a Virgin Redux

Characters: Dean, Sam, Castiel, Bobby
Rating: PG13 for language
Synopsis: Things that I thought needed to be said :-) My first completed fic, would love any comments, suggestions, whatever.

Dean sits in the panic room and watches Sam sleep. Sam may be an overgrown giant, but he still looks like a little kid when he's asleep. Yes, asleep. It might be more accurate to call Sam unconscious, or comatose (or, a tiny voice in the back of his mind insists, brain dead), but Dean prefers to think of it as sleeping. He doesn't even realize Bobby is in the room until the older man asks if he wants anything to eat.

"No, I'm good."

"Dean, have you eaten anything since Death left? Beer don't count," he adds, nodding at the empty bottle in Dean's hand. "You gotta take care of yourself. You can't help Sam if you're-"

"I can't help Sam anyway, in case you haven't noticed," Dean snaps. He immediately regrets it. "I'm sorry, Bobby. I'm just..." His voice trails off. Dean doesn't know what he is, other than useless. Angry, frightened, and so completely fucking useless.
