thread; sam & dean winchester WHO: Dean & Sam WHEN: Monday, May 18th, evening WHERE: Their apartment WHAT: Dean comes back after meeting with Illyana to tell his brother the news. It'll probably be sad. Sorry, guys. WARNING(S): Probably not necessary? But the Mark of Cain storyline has distinct parallels to heroin addiction, so there may be some addiction-flavored text in the narrative. CLOSED/ONGOING

Talking to Sam was going to be more unpleasant than getting stabbed in the soul, but Dean didn't really have a choice.
There was shit to deal with when it came to Cas, and all the personal baggage that came with the Mark, but... one thing at a time. He was still keyed up from the Soulsword, his skin warm, a bitterness in the back of his mouth, and felt somewhere between the aftermath of an adrenaline high and some sort of shitty hangover. It was like coming down from a drug binge and being unsure if he should ride out the crash or get himself back up on a high.
What he really needed was a nap, but Cas was in that room, so maybe he'd wait it out a while longer.
So he knocked on Sam's door and hoped Monty was off doing something else. (And kind of hoped Sam was off doing something else, too, honestly.) "Sammy? You in? We gotta talk."
