Warnings: F bomb, Spoilers for Season 9

Summary: Sam gets to thinking in the wake of Dean's canine encounter.

It's funny, of course it is.

Dean fetching that screwed-up paper out of the trash, sticking his head out of the Impala's window, sniffing the breeze with the biggest grin on his face Sam's seen since Dean emerged after his first night with his beloved memory foam mattress? It's fucking hilarious.

But Sam can't help thinking.

How Dean's like a dog in other, more fundamental ways.

His loyalty, selfless courage; his childlike pleasure-seeking pursuits.

His ability to round up the people he loves and bring them together.

Which was why letting Cas leave? It prickles Sam's skin with its wrongness.
