It makes me think of the boys wrestling/fighting both in training and as two brothers who could easily start pummeling each other.
I know! It's such a natural, subtle thing, and I think that's part of why I love it so.
Also? Wee!Dean with wee!Sam. As he's holding him in the front yard, "It's okay Sammy." At four years old, he was trying to reassure Sam.
I think one of the things I like about the old dynamic of the show, in comparison with the new dynamic, is that their conflict was internal, within the family. But in spite of that conflict (and boy, was there conflict!) and the push and pull between them, there was always an underlying caring there.
With the introduction of outside forces like Ruby--who really took advantage of Sam when he didn't have his protector there--things got really rocky and dicey for a long time. They started to fall back into place in the second half of this season, but I'm hoping to see them come out the other side in S7, stronger, independent, and united.
