Summary: "That’s the thing about Sam—he’s like a puzzle. You’ve spent your whole life learning to decode him, studying what each gesture means, what the inflection of his words translates to—all of this helps you create a picture of who Sam is and what he needs from you. You’ve become an expert at reading Sam, often knowing what Sam needs before he does. And right now, Sam’s on edge and a breakdown is coming. The only question is, can you stop it?"

Author's Note: Written for the fanworks challenge for the following prompt by

kcscribbler: "Post-10.03. Dean thinks it's a little weird that Sam seems to be just fine, but his let's-talk-about-it-emo-little-brother appears to be functioning all points normal, recovering physically and with no real emotional repercussions of Dean's stint as a demon. Until one night a few weeks later, when somebody Dean ticked off as a demon catches up with them. Dean's more annoyed than anything else, because the idiot was stupidly easy to disarm, and shallow stab wounds hurt like hell, and he's never going to get the blood out of this shirt. But Sam? Sam freaks. Out. Dean gets a first-hand look at just how traumatizing his death was - and how even being a demon doesn't erase the knowledge of how to comfort six-odd feet of panicking little brother." Sorry this is one day late. I had internet troubles yesterday.
