Journey to California | Sam and Emanuel
savedtheworldonce:
Sam didn’t expect to sleep as soundly as he did.
In his dreams, he was flying. He knew it was a dream because Dean was flying too, and Dean hated flying. They didn’t say anything, they just sort of drifted. Somehow Sam knew they were trying to find heaven, because that’s where their parents were, were Castiel was, and if they just found mom and dad and Cas everything would be...

[He thinks for a long moment.]
…I realize that there are certain expectations on such an occasion. If you think they are too much, I will respect that.
…But I would also like to try to find a way.
…okay.
[He returns the small smile.] Okay. Good.

Sam nodded. He was already half-asleep again by the time Emanuel spoke. “‘kay…”
Emanuel rested a hand on Sam’s shoulder and gave a gentle squeeze before turning to look back out of the window. The sun was climbing and the light was no longer as stark, though it was about as bright.
The light should have bothered Sam, but he was way too...

“Gotta wake me up if I…” His eyes drifted shut, then snapped back open again. “…nightmares…”
The healer pressed his lips together, concerned, but nodded. “Of course, Sam. Go to sleep. I’ll wake you.”
Sam nodded. He was already half-asleep again by the time Emanuel spoke. “‘kay…”

Sam leaned against the window and tried, in vain, to keep his eyes open. Whatever slow-paced country western song was playing on the radio didn’t help matters. “‘Manuel?” he muttered, trying to keep his eyes open.
Emanuel looked over at his friend. He could see Sam’s heavy-lidded eyes but he held off on any reactions one way or the...

Emanuel watched the truck stop slide away from them until there was only the grey-black strip of road. The wheat fields where they first found Cricket had long faded into corn, a little sickly and short from the drought. Emanuel watched it contently. It wasn’t as nice as walking, he thought, but Sam was weary, and he was happy to let him rest.
Sam leaned...

Sam joined Cricket and Emanuel in the backseat. Almost the minute he sat down and buckled up, he felt the weariness seep into his muscles. He’d been tired a lot lately. Don’t sleep, Sam, you don’t want to have a nightmare in front of strangers…
It really was nice, though, he reflected as the car pulled out of the parking lot and started driving, not having to walk.

“We can probably stop on the way…hey!” Sam raised a hand in greeting to a man in an SUV. The man waved back. “There’s our ride.”
Emanuel’s face might light up a little. “It’s not too out of the way? Well, I suppose it would not be honest to consider ourselves travelers with a destination…” He had to stop and calm Cricket when the SUV...

“Yeah, Dean and I went a long time ago.” Sam smiled faintly at the memory. “It’s bigger than it looks on TV.”
“I can imagine.” The man looks a little like he is at that moment, and is pleased with the image in his mind. Must feel like when your feet lift off the ground…
He blinks. “Yes, I… would like to see the Grand Canyon sometime.”

“True, I’ve just never really had time to look around.” Despite all of his travels, there were a lot of places that Sam had never seen. “I’ve been to the Grand Canyon, though.”
“Oh. Have you?” Emanuel was surprised it hadn’t come up. He’d watched a number of travel shows in idle times, and the Grand Canyon featured frequently.

“Nevada?” Jersey frowned, he hadn’t remembered coming out here in a long time. Not since, well, he couldn’t remember. He let out a deep sigh looking at the dog, his fingers refraining from touching the animal. As much as he loved dogs, they didn’t seem to like him much, well some of them anyway. “I must have gotten off at wrong place then.” Jersey muttered pursing his lips....

Now there was a surprise. A division of the Winchesters that had persisted beyond an emotional level. He regarded Emanuel for a long moment before nodding his agreement. “Interesting is putting it mildly.”
The paltry offer at comfort was appreciated, even if it was unwarranted Castiel did not want absolution. The guilt he bore was just, and well deserved, ever a reminder of...

Sam followed at a slightly slower pace. He realized that he was smiling. It was a good day. Today was going to be a good day.
Thank God, or whoever was listening. He could use a good day.
“So, do you think we should seriously try to hit Hollywood?” he called after Emanuel.

Emerald eyes flickered over gazing over sliver for the briefest of seconds, seeing a lifespan over the human’s head, longer than most, he had a purpose it seemed then.

“Gas store.” He’d already checked out. Sam glanced around the hotel room. Too many nightmares in one room. Time to move on. “It’s not too far away. We can make it.”
“I remember, yes.” Emanuel reached down, clipping Cricket’s leash to her collar (also new, after a close encounter with a truck). “Shall we leave this place behind us?”

Exception? A kind thought, though hardly deserved. Considering it was his own hand that had crushed the last of Sam’s defences against his time spent in Hell, to dust. He nodded, glancing aside for a long moment. “I myself was once set against them, though it was before the coming of the Apocalypse. Dean…Dean managed to speak sense into me before my inaction condemned me as it...

“It should,” said Emanuel, “The television said there would not be rain for a couple days.” He had his duffel over his shoulder, and his favorite sweater on.

Emanuel might have caught the change in Castiel’s expression, but he was spending more of his time looking at his feet, his hands in his pockets. “Unshaken, perhaps, but not unchanged, I think. Sam’s recollections of the angels has contributed to that.”
The stance of the man before him was something of a curiosity; it bespoke some manner of unease upon his part...

He’d slept fitfully the night before, his dreams dark, but not so nightmarish as to drive him into insomnia again. It was better than nothing. “I found a guy who’s heading out that way, he said he’d give us a ride for a bit. He didn’t even mind...

“…West, then.”
Emanuel had all of his stuff packed, holding a cup of coffee in his hands. He hadn’t slept that night. Finally, whatever was draining him and drawing him to unconsciousness had faded, and he couldn’t be more grateful. He hadn’t told Sam much about the dreams, which made him feel guilty. He was certain he’d seen glances of concern when he...
