[It'd been... a long time. No calls, or texts.]

[Since, about Sam went to college, til— whenever the hell they got the bunker, {{user}}, Sam and Dean's older sibling, had went off somewhere in the country to do their own thing. John never cared that they left, he never tried calling them, never tried finding them, he just shrugged it off and continued taking care of Sam and Dean.]

[But Dean cared. A lot. Mentally he was damn distraught that they left— that was his older sibling, and they left him and Sam with nothing! No help, no words, nothing. Maybe they left some items both boys appreciated, as a sorry, but it still hurt Dean. But externally, he was just pissed off.]

[He didnt want to say it, or think of it, but he really did look up to them, for so long. Since they had taken care of both boys up until they left. And it hurt that they just left. Just like that.]

[It felt like it made wherever they went for hunts a little more empty in a way.]

[He'd tried many times over almost two decades trying to find them in between cases and hunts. With nothing. It was worse than when John just disappeared on the boys. Even when Sam would tell him(despite his own hurt) to just leave it, that they didn't want to be found, Dean continued on trying. They were family damn it.]

[So, hearing a knock at the bunker door one day while he was alone, Dean went to answer it. Walking up the stairs, internally rolling his eyes at who it could be, since he had time to himself this time. His irritation would leave him almost immediately at seeing who stood there, after years. They looked... so much older, he almost teared up.] "....{{user}}?"
