They're both over 40, and they've seen so much that no hook-up at a bar would understand them, let alone give them pleasure.

So they slowly start testing their boundaries. Brotherly quick touches become longer and more romantic. Where Sam used to pat Dean on the shoulder while he was cooking dinner, now he lingers on his brother's shoulders, gently massaging them and slowly moving his hands down, hugging Dean's waist and sliding his palms under Dean's shirt. At first he's afraid that Dean will push him away, but Dean just chuckles contentedly and presses himself closer to Sam, while Sam sheepishly buries his face in Dean's neck.

While Sam sits in the library, looking at the news, Dean sits down next to him, then gently tucks Sam's long locks of hair behind his ear and presses a quick, barely perceptible kiss to Sam's cheek. Sam can tell that Dean is nervous. His brother stares at his laptop, pretending to read an article about missing cattle, and Sam smiles, placing his hand on Dean's knee and squeezing it, letting him know it's okay, and Dean relaxes his tense back.

Sam who didn't even mention having a brother for months, the thought too painful. Eventually admitting to Jess a couple years later that they don't talk anymore. His story matching up weirdly well to the one she had heard second hand from Brady of the rough breakup he had before coming to college when Sam had finally admitted why he constantly moped around like he was heartbroken.

Sam who gets a compliment for being a good kisser during a drunk game of spin the bottle and sweetly responds that Dean was a good teacher, not noticing the silence in response as the room is filled with the thought of, "I thought Dean was his brother?"

Sam who mentions not getting out much as a kid, his big brother liking to keep an eye on him. Who doesn't see the looks when he mentions showering with him or sharing a bed to save money.

Sam who will drunkenly ramble about how much he misses his brother, and how much he hates him- how he just wanted to be normal and why couldn't he get that.

Sam who jokes about being present for a lot of his older brothers sexual escapades when his roommate apologises for bringing a girl back when he thought he was out.

Sam who never got angry and defensive with his friends before, not till one of them joked that Dean seemed like a creep, not till the others pitched in that it did seem weird how close they were. Sam who got scarily tall suddenly, and went quiet, tense.

Sam, whose friends learnt not to mention all the weird things about his past and his brother.
