Dean scoots his chair closer to my bedside, and he has that anxious look like I’m hurt. I guess I am. Still not in any pain, though.
“You were in an accident,” he says finally, eyes flicking to my forehead and back to my face. He forces a smile, but I can tell it’s serious.
“H-how long was I out?” I ask, coughing again slightly. “Water?”
“Right! Here, here you go.” Dean has a cup of water already on a tray nearby. There’s a few empty ones on the counter next to that. And that’s when I start to get uneasy.
“Dean,” I press him, sipping at the water. “How long?”
A shadow practically falls over his face.
“They said you were awake when they brought you in, but by the time I got here you were unconscious. It’s been three weeks.”
“Three — that’s impossible!” I sputter and nearly drop the water. “That long, I wouldn’t wake back up.”
“Yeah,” Dean says, his voice cracking. “You wouldn’t.”
This is cover art for a one-shot fanfic of mine, No Time At All. Here’s the summary and more info:
Sam is in a coma. An experimental drug lets him wake up for a few hours at a time, though, and be able to visit with his brother. Dean is helpless to change Sam’s situation, so Sam decides to try to change Dean’s.
