Since I’m still on a young Winchester kick, I started a new story on AO3. Not sure how many chapters it’ll be.
Sam came home scared one day because Dean wasn’t waiting for him at the bus stop. He found him hurt and called Bobby for help. Dad came home a few hours later. But are Dean’s problems with the bullies really over?
And a little preview of chapter one below the cut:
It was a snowy day as Sam hurried home, worried and scared. They had an apartment for once and Dad said they might even stay here until the school year ended. Right now Dad was gone, left four days ago. But that wasn’t what hurried Sam’s steps.
The door was unlocked as Sam pushed it open. His heart in his throat he called out his brother’s name. “Dean?”
He wasn’t in the living room, so Sam looked in the bedroom they were sharing. “Dean?” His brother sat at the end of the bed, looking dazed. There was blood on his shirt and the side of his face. As Sam got closer he could see there was blood in his hair too. Sam reached over and touched his arm. “Dean? You weren’t at the bus stop.” Ever since Sam had started school, Dean had never failed to be waiting for Sam at the bus stop, even if he got out of school at a different time.
Dean blinked slowly. “Slipped on the ice,” he mumbled, not quite raising his head.
Sam bit his lip, not quite believing him. “You just stay here,” he said quietly, hurrying back into the kitchen where the phone was on the wall. Shaking, he picked up the receiver and called one of the numbers he’d memorized. After two rings, Bobby picked up. “Hello.”
