sam can tell that something's on your mind. you're curled up in bed with him, being subjected to one of his favorite true crime documentaries. and you're not actually being subjected to it. he'd never make you watch these if you really didn't want to. dean just makes fun of him for liking them, so you follow your dad's lead and tease about it too.

tonight, you're a bit shifty, and he doesn't think that you're really paying the tv much attention at all.

sam cares about you very much. he pays you lots of attention, even if it's quiet. he's the type to notice things and put the pieces together, but wait for you, and wait until you're ready. he doesn't like to assume, and he can't be sure exactly what you're wanting to tell him.

he's pretty sure you don't know that he's bi, and he's thinking to himself that it might've helped you before if he'd told you, made it clear that he'll always love you no matter what. your dad will too, but he knows that dean can come across a certain way that might intimidate you out of talking to him about this sort of thing. sam tries to be very soft with you.

he debates saying something, but he doesn't want to assume anything about what you have on your mind. he'd hate to pressure you into saying something if you're not ready. so he just puts an arm around your shoulders and gives your upper arm a soft rub up and down.
