The elevator dinged, ascending toward their destination. Dean huffed out a breath, side-stepping a half a step. "Why are you standing so close to me?" grumbled Dean as he elbowed Sam in the side.

"What? I'm standing normal distance from you, dude."

"Nuh uh. You're like...right there." Dean flapped his hands. "A big giant wall of Sam."

"You're delusion...wait a minute—you're getting sick, aren't you?"

"I am not." Dean rubbed a hand over his face. "Isn't it kinda close in here?" He tugged hard at the collar of his white dress shirt then started to shrug out of his overcoat.

Sam stopped him, easily feeling the heat radiating off Dean. "Yep, sick." He reached over and pushed the Lobby button, all thoughts of questioning a witness in their latest hunt forgotten.

Dean turned his glassy-eyed gaze toward his younger brother. "But I don't feel sick. Just...just hot. And...and...I wasn't hot until we got into this...um...elevator. It's so small. Too small." Dean paced a couple of steps away. "Yeah, waaaaaay too small."

Sam dropped a grounding hand on Dean's shoulder. "You're okay. You're just feeling a little claustrophobic. Probably because you have a fever."

"I do?"
