Am I supposed to understand this? To know what I was doing, where I was, and who I was with the exact moment I realized I was in love with Sammy? Hell, I blocked it out for so many years, thinking it was wrong, that I can hardly remember when I first knew.
I remember the first time I told him, though. Oh, yeah, do I ever remember. Sammy was a scrawny kid, skinny little thing as a teenager. Always the one getting beat up in the hallways at school, always looking towards me to protect him. It was after one particularly bad fight. I found Sammy lying on the concrete basketball court, dabbing his bleeding nose with his shirt and crying.
“Christ, Sammy, what’d you do now?” I said in exasperation, taking off my sweater and wiping his face.
“I just wanted to play with the big boys,” he replied, burrowing into my chest. I remember stiffening as his tears soaked my shirt and placing a hand on his shaking back—like a brother should.
“You’re so stupid sometimes, you know that? I love you, but seriously…”
As Sam looked up at me, blue eyes full of questions and tears, the realization of what I had said hit me.
That’s the first time I ran away.
When I came home a week later, I remember Sammy creeping into my room at three A.M., kissing away my tears and saying, “I love you too.”
Maybe I don’t know when exactly I fell in love with Sam Winchester, but I knew at that second I would spend my whole life with him.
