Re: Filled: Radio Silence part 3 (PG-13, Sam, Lucifer, Dean)
He’s beginning to think this is his worst birthday ever, except he’s got a nagging feeling that it isn’t. He starts passing small cites, and with them, more vehicles. So he picks up the CB and tries again, asking the one question he can’t seem to shake.
“You know where Dean Winchester is?”
The first guy only laughs. Sam doesn’t know why it’s funny, but he feigns understanding because the guy’s in a huge Mack truck with a trailer on the back that looks like it could whack a little yellow truck off the road.
The second guy growls back, “Why d’you wanna know?”
And before Sam can think about it, he answers, “He’s m’brother.”
The second guy doesn’t answer after that. Sam’s kind of glad, because he’s doing that crying thing again, and he’s not sure he could talk through the knot in his throat.
The third guy he asks is in a tank-like thing coming the opposite direction, and he’s only too happy to answer.
“Yeah, Camp Chitaqua, about ninety miles north on the edge of the lake. Fucker stole the meds I was trying to sell him. Don’t do business up there.”
“I won’t,” Sam says.
*
7:35pm.
The sign at the camp’s entrance is half covered in leaves, but Sam can read it just fine. He parks and pulls out the CB mic.
“Camp Chitaqua, do you read me?”
Silence.
“Anybody there?” He pauses a moment, then adds, “I’m looking for Dean Winchester. Please. It’s urgent.”
“What do you want with Dean?” a woman’s voice replies.
“I need to see him.”
“Good luck. No way we’re gonna let a stranger in the gates - you could be infected.”
“I’m not a stranger,” Sam says, his voice going a little indignant. “I’m his brother.”
“Fuck you,” says the voice on the other end, and the line goes back to static.
*
8:05pm.
He’s been trying for half an hour, first politely, then pleading, and finally he starts to sing. He’s on the third verse of “Wanted Dead or Alive” when his finger slips off the button and he hears a gruff voice on the other end saying, “Stop it! For Christ’s sake, just stop it, will you?”
Sam’s throat constricts. He presses the button. “Dean?” It feels like he’s said that name a hundred times in that same startled tone.
“Yeah, you bastard, I’m here,” growls the reply. “What do you want this time? You wanna kill me? Go ahead - you gotta find me first, and I haven’t broken a rib since Cas marked me.”
“Kill you?” Sam frowns. “Dean, it’s me. Lucifer let me have control for the night.”
“Bullshit,” says Dean.
Back to static.
*
9pm.
“Say you were Sam,” the CB crackles. “Tell me something only Sam would know.”
Sam opens his mouth and has no idea what to say. “I…look, Dean, I don’t know. I don’t remember. I feel like my brain’s been shoved through a blender.”
“Well, that’s believable,” Dean snarks. “Come on in, Sammy! I’ll lay out a place at the table for you. You want chicken or fish?”
“Very funny.”
“Yeah, I crack me up. I’m gonna kill you, y’know that, you sorry son of a bitch? I may not be the goddamn Michaelsword, but I’ll find a way to tear you apart.”
Something clatters, and Sam is pretty sure his brother just threw something across the room. He sighs, settling into the radio silence.
*
9:45pm.
“I hope you do. Kill me, I mean. Kill Lucifer. I’m sorry, Dean. I don’t know what I was thinking. I wish I did. I wish I could explain it to you. Now, I just know it didn’t work. And I’m sorry. If I could go back…fuck, Dean, I’d do it in a heartbeat. But I can’t, so I need you to be serious about this. Find a way to kill me. I’ll forgive you for it - hell, I’d congratulate you if I could. Please. Just figure it out and do it. I’m counting on you.”
Dean stopped responding a while ago.

Re: Filled: Radio Silence part 4 (PG-13, Sam, Lucifer, Dean)
“Are you seeing these stars, man? I don’t think I’ve ever seen stars this damn bright before. Seriously, take a look out the window.” Sam stretches himself out across the hood of the truck, the CB mic’s cord pulled taut from the window. The metal is still hot from a day in the sun, but the air outside the camp has chilled enough that the heat is welcome against his back. The flannel he grabbed from the gas station insulates it, making his whole back relax. Sam would feel peaceful if it weren’t for the damn CB and what he knows is on the other end.
Or what he suspects, anyway. He might be talking to an empty room. But if he’s been telling an empty room about his ride up here and the way he felt about snack cakes, at least it’s been one of the more pleasant conversations he’s had since he was given the reigns.
“That’s Ursa Major,” he says into the mic, pointing upward. “I think I studied the stars in…fifth grade? Sounds about right. I liked the bear constellations. Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.”
“Yeah,” says a smallish voice on the other end of the radio. “I could never see the goddamn bears in those stars myself.”
That’s the last thing he gets from Dean over the radio.
*
11:20pm.
“Dean, please,” he tries again. “Please. It’s me. It’s Sam. I know I can’t prove it, but please.”
He lets the button go. Static.
“Dean,” he says into the mic. “It’s not there. All the things I knew - all the things I’m supposed to know— Goddammit, that’s why I need to see you. I’ve only got forty fucking minutes left, and then I’m gone again.”
He lets the button go. Static. It has to be the hundredth time he’s done this, and the thought drags a growl of frustration out of his throat. He pounds his fists on the hood of the truck and bites back tears.
“Dean…I’ve spent this whole day feeling empty. Feeling wrong, like something took a mellon baller to everything that used to be me. Everything’s jumbled and hollow, except you. Just saying your name, it’s like I’ve got someplace to go. I don’t have the details, but I know you. You’re home.”
He lets the button go and presses his palms hard against his eyes. Nothing but static.
*
11:42pm.
The gate creaks. Sam sits up.
Dean stands ten feet in front of him, a rifle choked up in one hand like some kind of weird security blanket and his eyes wide. “Sammy?” he says.
“Dean,” Sam says, pushing himself cautiously off the hood. “You’re—”
“Here, I know. Dumb shit move. But I thought…” Dean swallows hard enough that Sam can see his throat bob in the dark. He knows that throat. He knows that deeply fucking disapproving look. He knows the line of that collar and the slope of those shoulders. Dean shakes his head, and his voice gets small and sarcastic at the same time. “Dude, even Lucifer couldn’t sound that much like a girl.”
Sam’s shoulders slump, and he steps forward. Dean’s rifle thuds to the dirt, and his brother’s arms wrap around him. Dean hugs desperately, like he knows they’ve only got eighteen minutes and he’s trying to make a lifetime of it. His fingers dig into Sam’s shoulders so hard that Sam can feel the bruises forming already.
Sam takes in the smells of leather and machine oil and sweat and the solid feeling of Dean holding him up. He breathes it all in, smiles against the collar of his brother’s jacket, and remembers.
THE END!

Seriously, this is amazing. I couldn't begin to think about this prompt, because I am a wuss, but you somehow make it bearable. Bearable and realistic and IC.
AND SO FREAKING SAD.
