It’s kind of weird, but probably not weirder than the fact that Sam’s ten and still sucks on his brother’s necklace to go to sleep at night. Notes Written for the Summer 2011 Blindfold_spn round for the prompt "Sam just loves taking Dean's amulet into his mouth. Sucks at it every time he wakes up from his nightmares and Dean has to hug him and comfort him. Or when they are sparing and Dean pins him to the ground and the amulet just hangs from Dean's neck, dangling just in front of Sam's face. Would be awesome if it could be different moments in time. 6y old Sam up to late teens. If it leads to sex is up to the writer. Bonus if there could be some neck licking involved. The damn thing hangs around Dean's neck after all." I went a little off-book. The first time, the very first, start of it all, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s the middle of March, in the middle of Maine, which isn’t very much fun even when Sam doesn’t feel like he’s going to throw up from the weird squirmy thing his tummy is doing. The only thing the heater in the corner has given them so far is the stench of burning wires, so he’s wrapped up tight around Dean in their bed pretending it’s so he can keep warm. It so much worse now than it used to be when Dad didn’t show up when he said he was going to. Because now Sam knows. Knows about the things out there and what his dad is doing and how he might not ever come back. Sometimes he wishes he had never dragged the truth out of his brother just so he wouldn’t have to think about it, but mostly he’s glad that he did because as bad as this feels, it would be worse if he was feeling it all by himself the way Dean has had to for years. If it can make things a little better for Dean, it’s worth feeling like he’s going to be sick. Later, much later, years down the road, he’ll never know what made him do it that first time. They’re just lying there together in the dark, watching the shadows change on the walls when cars that don’t rumble like the Impala drive past the window, with the proof that Sam loves Dean best nestled between their chests, hard and just a little bit cold. He doesn’t really think about doing it, doesn’t even realize he’s going to do anything until he’s rooted at the leather cord around Dean’s neck to bring the amulet up higher. Doesn’t even realize it until he’s opened up his mouth and pulled the figurine inside. The taste of it is sharply metallic and strange, like a penny but not. The angles are all hard and oblong, pushing against the soft inside of his mouth. It so weird and alien and right, for reasons and in ways he doesn’t understand. The minerally taste floods his mouth and the warm smell of Dean is in his nose and somehow the unusualness of it all distracts him from everything else as he learns the peaks and dips with his tongue. He falls asleep like that, better than he has since he learned about the family business. That’s the beginning. Maybe it would have stayed like that forever or maybe he would have grown out of it – different place, different time, different life. But in the one Sam’s got, that’s not how it goes. How it goes is just like that, just exactly like that, for a lot longer than even their messed-up definition of normal can account for. They’re growing up, both of them, but Dean always more, always faster, miles and miles ahead when Sam feels like he’s standing still. They don’t fit together in a bed the way they used to, not enough space so they end up pressing even closer in the night while Dean curls around him and Sam suckles gently on the amulet because that’s what they do, that’s who they are. Dean’s developed this thing lately where he likes to touch Sam’s mouth while he has the amulet in there, fingers tracing so gently it almost tickles, around the little pouty spot where the cord disappears between Sam’s lips. It’s kind of weird, but probably not weirder than the fact that Sam’s ten and still sucks on his brother’s necklace to go to sleep at night. Not weirder than that they’re still sharing a bed and living in motel rooms and barely have a dad. Weird is one of those things that doesn’t mean the same thing with them that it does with other people. So, yeah, Dean touches his lips and Sam doesn’t really pay much thought to it because this is one of those things – it happens and they don’t really talk about it; it just works. He doesn’t think much about it either when one night he reaches for the amulet and Dean closes his own fingers around it instead, because Dean’s his big brother and sometimes he decides to be a jerk just because. Except Dean doesn’t dangle it out of Sam’s reach like he usually does when he has something Sam wants. Instead he takes the edge of it and runs the cool bronze around Sam’s lips, watching him open for it with this thing in his eyes that Sam doesn’t recognize. Then, at the last second, before Sam can duck his head just right to get his mouth around it, Dean takes it back and pops it into his own instead like the last Lifesaver in the roll. That’s kind of confusing because, for all that Sam’s sucked on it enough to probably have a permanent imprint of the little face on the roof of his mouth, he’s never seen Dean do it, not once. It only lasts a second and then Dean’s opening his mouth, the amulet sitting right there on his tongue, spit-shiny in the dark. Dean plucks it out of his mouth and presses it back up against Sam’s lips insistently. It’s warm and wet and Sam should probably at least pause before he opens his mouth up and nibbles it out of Dean’s fingers, but he doesn’t. He just pulls the metal into his mouth and gets it situated right in the middle of his tongue like always. Dean makes this noise that Sam only ever hears when his brother has to get himself off at night and that’s the first time he really clues in that Dean’s hard. It’s not exactly a new thing – Dean been able to get hard for a long time now and for the last couple of years, he’s done it a lot. Sam’s used to weight and the heat of it against his hip, knows exactly what it feels like when it gets even hotter and wetter when Dean rubs up against him and finishes, but there’s something about this that’s different when Dean grabs hold at the top of Sam’s thigh and hitches him in closer. It might be the way Dean’s face tilts down against him instead of up and away so that they’re breathing the same warm air, slightly musty from the Goodwill sheets. It might be the way Dean’s hand slides up to the small of Sam’s back and tucks him in even tighter, the pressure of Dean’s hard-on pushing against him making Sam’s own twitch and start to fill up with that still-new ache that he can never quite decide if he likes. It might be the way Dean’s lips push right up against Sam’s mouth and his tongue snakes out to pull at the cord until Sam opens up and lets his brother take the little bit of metal back. Quiet and hungry, Dean breathes out another sound, digs his fingers in against Sam’s back and Sam can feel him sucking at the amulet, the tiny pulses of his lips as he moves it around in there, hear it when he swallows the metal-tinged saliva that Sam knows the exact flavor of. His stomach seems to jerk at the same time that his dick does and his whole body suddenly feels way too small for him. Dean opens his mouth again, pushes the slick piece of bronze against Sam’s lips almost painfully until he remembers how to open up and lets his brother push the charm right inside of him with his tongue. Dean’s breathing crazy-hard, making all kinds of racket as he humps against Sam’s body and Sam’s bucks right back against him, doing everything all on its own because he still hasn’t got a clue what’s going on. Dean’s lips twitch against his like they do sometimes when he’s reading, little snatches of words that never really make it out. He pushes at Sam’s mouth with his tongue again, sucking on Sam’s tongue for just a second along with the amulet when he reflexively gives it back and Sam’s body cramps up all the way around at the same moment like he’s frozen. His underwear goes wet - which is still embarrassing even though he knows it’s not really pee - and Dean grabs onto the back of his head and shoves the necklace back into the mouth that Sam can’t figure out how to close, licks the inside of his cheek so Sam can’t stop coming even after it hurts. The space all around him goes even hotter as Dean starts to lose it too, hangs onto him so tight Sam can’t breathe and then finally goes limp, panting against Sam’s mouth. Sam doesn’t have a word for how he feels all of a sudden, shaky and weak like that time he had the flu but still really really good. He wakes up the next morning sticky and gross with Dean’s necklace still in his mouth and green eyes on him like he’s something brand new and special. That’s mostly how it goes for a while, a long while; the two of them trading a tiny bit of bronze between their mouths at night, sucking each other’s spit off of it, and about a year after the fact, it occurs to Sam that they’re kissing. After that it sort of stops mattering whether or not it’s weird because Sam’s been making out with his big brother all this time without really noticing so the next night, he licks his way up the cord while Dean’s sucking the charm and puts his mouth to Dean’s neck to pull at the skin the same way he’s done the amulet so many times. His brother comes right exactly then. Afterward, Sam laughs at him about it and Dean pins him to the bed and shoves a hand down Sam’s boxers. He doesn’t really have much room to laugh after that; Dean’s hands are his new favorite thing. He thinks maybe the necklace is just an excuse now, but that doesn’t mean that they stop using it.They’re stuck in apartment in Memphis toward the end of July. Sam’s summer reading list is tucked into a copy of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry in his duffle, but last year he was ahead of most of the English classes he got dumped into so he’s not too worried about reading up just so he can repeat the same pattern in eighth grade. Besides, it’s not really his fault he keeps getting distracted when Dean’s the one laying around without a shirt on – he’s only human. The air smells like rain on hot pavement and Dean’s skin tastes like sweat-salt as Sam chases the shine of metal in the afternoon sunlight across his brother’s chest with his tongue. The amulet catches on the peak of a nipple so Sam lingers there for a while, mouth open wide around bronze and dusky, pebbled flesh. Dean moans deep and squirms underneath him like a wild creature. For some reason that, making Dean lose his carefully controlled cool, works Sam up harder than hours’ worth of messing around. It’s the whole reason he’s spent most of his summer working up the courage for this – because if he can do it, if Dean will let him, it might just be the most amazing thing he’s ever felt. His brother is all but writhing against him when Sam finally relents, leaving his nipples tight and red, dark little marks all over his chest and neck. When Sam lifts the amulet up, drags it over his brother’s head, Dean startles, reaches out automatically to take it back. Sam gives him a smile he’s been trying to copy off of his brother’s face for a while now and maybe he succeeds because Dean rests his hand back on his belly and lets Sam do what he wants with the necklace, despite the small wrinkle of worry between his eyebrows. What Sam wants is simple and incredibly complicated, but for the moment he settles for slinking down the bed until he’s eye-level with Dean’s hips. He’d gotten Dean’s pants down around his knees a while ago – and lost a tiny bit of his mind when he realized his brother had been hanging around commando all afternoon – so now all he has to do is wrap the worn leather strand around Dean’s cock. It’s a little bit more challenging than he’d imagined, getting it all just right so that the charm itself sits on top of the crown like a pedestal, getting even shinier as fluid pulses out of the slit. Still, he manages, and for the way Dean stares, eyes wide and shocked, totally struck stupid by it, it’s completely worth the effort. This is the hard part. He’s not scared of Dean’s dick or anything, he’s had it rubbed all over just about every part of his body imaginable at one point or other, but this is different. This is the thing that means they can’t just pretend it’s convenient anymore, that it doesn’t really mean anything. This is voluntarily and clear-headedly sucking his brother’s cock. This makes it sex. Sam’s hand is shaking where it’s wrapped around the base of Dean’s dick, little flashes of dark leather showing between his fingers. But then Dean’s is trembling too when he touches a hand to Sam’s temple, so soft it’s like he thinks Sam’s going to disappear any second. Maybe he does, Dean’s funny about this stuff sometimes, like he can’t ever really believe that Sam wants it when it’s what Sam spends approximately 87% of his waking hours – and a lot more of his not-waking hours – thinking about. His eyes are bright green around the wide spread of his pupil, shiny like after he’s had a couple of beers and Sam’s pretty sure the room could go up in flames around them right now and Dean wouldn’t even notice. And that’s all Sam needs. He knows exactly how big Dean is, but it’s still sort of a surprise how wide he has to open his mouth when he pushes down onto the head. The amulet scrapes gently against the roof of his mouth, bumping across the washboard texture and flooding him with the mixed taste of metal and precome. It prompts Sam to suck harder, hungry for more of a flavor that’s uncomfortably like home in the back of his head. Dean whines and fists his hands in the sheets. He can’t get it in very far, even less with the charm pressing at the back of his throat, but his brother doesn’t seem to mind. Hesitant and soft, Dean’s fingers push into Sam’s hair, just barely resting there like he’s afraid of pushing and the second the thought hits, it’s what Sam wants. He arches up, pressing the back of his head against Dean’s hand at the same time he shifts the amulet around with his tongue until one of the little horns presses into the slit. Dean’s fingers tighten instantly, gripping hard enough to hurt just a tiny bit, nothing compared to the steady throb between his legs as his boxers get slicker and slicker on the inside. It doesn’t take very long, not with Dean guiding him up and down as he sucks, aborted little rocks of his hips that say how bad he wants to fuck up into Sam’s mouth and it’s so insanely hot Sam’s going out of his freaking skull. There are tears leaking out of his eyes as tiny metal protrusions bruise his palate and there’s no way it looks sexy like girls in pornos but Dean sounds happy. His thumb skates around the outside of Sam’s stretched lips – he has such a thing for that – bumping over the ridges of cord as they slide in and out of Sam’s mouth. It pushes at the corner just a little bit the very tip sliding in and it’s a challenge with his mouth stuffed full like this but Sam manages to slide his tongue around and tickle at it. Dean’s grip really does go tight on him then and the bronze-and-salt flavor in his mouth goes thicker as he’s suddenly filled with more liquid heat than he can swallow all at once. He ends up choking on most of it, letting spurt after spurt hit the flat of his tongue and it’s amulet shield and dribble back over the length of Dean’s spasming cock. He laps it up off of the softening shaft, mouthing and tonguing around the cord for extra-long because it makes his brother shiver. For dessert, there’s the charm itself, messy with come. He lets his pursed lips rest at the slit and pull semi-pained little sounds out of Dean with every small brush as he sucks it clean too. Sam hardly has to get a hand down to press against the front of his shorts before he’s going off himself, wet and dirty in his clothes. Dean’s fingers rub at the back of his neck as his jitters his way through it, face pressed tight against his brother’s hip, mouth still full of the taste of metal and Dean. From there it’s not much of leap to see where they’re headed, but it still takes a while to get there. Sam’s sixteen before he finds himself laid out naked in the back of the Impala with his brother hovering over him, the amulet cord strung between them like a lifeline. One of Dean’s hands is buried between Sam’s legs, pushing a knot of three fingers in and out of his hole so slow Sam’s pretty sure his nerves are going to fry from all the heat swamping through him. He sucks harder, working his tongue against the sharp angles of the symbol in his mouth in a way that’s impossibly soothing, all things considered. The motion Zens him out, makes it easier to take when Dean pushes his pinkie in just to the first knuckle and then draws it out again along with the other three, leaving him almost unbearably empty for a moment. Sam hears himself gasp his brother’s name, slurred a little around the figurine on his tongue, embarrassingly desperate. Dean echoes his own right back at him just as needy and then it’s happening, really finally happening after what feels like a lifetime in the making. It hurts, no denying that, even with all the stretching. It aches deep inside and Sam’s muscles fight against it, try to push out when he knows he really wants this even if he can’t remember why right this second. Then Dean’s mouth is on him, just like it has been so many times for so many years, licking at Sam’s tongue around protrusions of bronze and the pain is still there but now it’s manageable, almost overwhelmed by the surge of need-want-love. His arms wrap around the back of Dean’s neck, holding him in place, the fingers of one twining with the cord as his legs tighten around his brother’s hips and force them in, faster, deeper. Dean pulls the amulet halfway out of Sam’s mouth, clamping his teeth around it midway and holding there as he slowly pulls his body back too, a gritty drag of hard-won inches. Sam mirrors him - has to, needs something to bite down on - teeth and lips flush together in the curling mingle of machine-gun breaths. The push back wrecks it all, both of them, as Dean either forgets what he’s doing or totally loses control of his upper body as he dick sinks all the way back into Sam on a jarring push. Sam gasps and the amulet falls back into his mouth, uncontrolled, almost choking him as it hits the back of his throat except he has no air to actually choke on. The jolts of Dean’s hips are hard and erratic, as starved as the low-grade growl he keeps leaking against Sam’s dampening skin. He presses kisses all over; forehead, cheeks, lips throat, everything he can get at. Sam arches into any and all of it, just as rabid to take as his brother is to give. His own cock is trapped between their bodies, twitching every time Dean pushes in and hits that place inside that makes Sam lose random pieces of himself to the sparks behind his eyelids. Sweat-slick, they slide on the vinyl with each push, sloppy and uncoordinated and Sam just can’t take it, can’t stand it, won’t ever be able to live without this again. He nearly strangles his brother when he tries to get a hand down on his cock, forgetting about the leather strip wound around his fingers. Instead he ends up jacking shakily with his left hand, even more tragically uncoordinated because there’s only a sliver of space to work with. It’s still enough to make him feel like lightning’s just been funneled into his veins. Way too soon and already he’s there. Luckily Dean knows him, the way he looks or sounds or something, because his lips are back on Sam’s just like that, salty and wet, the slick push of tongue pressing the shape of the amulet into his own. He’s helpless to do anything before that onslaught of push-pull-suck-fuck-love-me but surrender. His orgasm is close to painful and he’s still swimming through the haze of it when he feels Dean still against him, the bizarre jerk inside of his body as his brother pumps him full in a whole new way. Dean’s not so much kissing him anymore as mouthing at his lips and letting his tongue roll aimlessly around the line of his teeth. Sam’s actually more than ok with that, so he slides his fingers into the wet silk of short blonde hair and encourages him with tiny non-sense sounds. He loses a lot of time in it, whole worlds rising and falling as far as he knows, in the humid warmth of Dean’s mouth on his, keeping him grounded and whole when flying apart or melting away both seem like legitimate threats. At some point he dimly feels the body-warm hardness of the amulet get pushed out of the corner of his mouth to leave a wet snail-trail of spit down his cheek. He really doesn’t pay it very much attention at all. Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
