“Son of a bitch!”
Sam groaned and pulled his pillow up over his ear, rolling over onto his side, not again.
Despite his pillow earplug, he could hear his brother stomping through the motel room, doing… whatever the hell he was doing.
After a few more minutes of too-loud-for-4am thumping, he felt a pillow hit his hip. He let out a small groan before he pulled his pillow away from his ear, “What?”
He heard his brother scoff, “You’re not gonna get up?”
“No.”
“Nice, Sam.”
“Every other time you’ve woken me up with your catchphrase, it’s been for something stupid.”
“Well what if I’m hurt this time?”
Sam flopped over onto his back, still not bothering to open his eyes, “If you were seriously hurt, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”
“You don’t know that. I’ve been in plenty of conversations while I was in pretty bad shape.”
“True,” Sam huffed and finally opened his eyes, turning to face his brother’s voice despite the dark, “but there’d be an air of panic in your voice.”
“Well…” The blonde’s voice trailed off and Sam could picture his eyes searching the dark as he thought of an answer.
There was a moment of silence then, before Sam heard the creak of the springs in the other bed, signalling his brother was getting into it. Finally.
“I’m not gonna wake up next time you need help. How about that?”
“So you’ll do what you usually do? Oh no.”
Another pillow hit him then, making the giant chuckle. He took the pillow and tucked it up behind his current one. He settled back down and was surprised at how much more comfortable his head was, another pillow does make a difference… huh.
Sam let out a yawn then and slipped his eyes closed, “Well?”
“Well what?”
Sam turned onto his side, resisting the urge to let out a huff, “What happened?”
“I… closed the door on my thumb.”
