Rarely do they happen, but when they occur Sam feels like he is back in the cage—trapped and powerless, a splintered as a broken bone. His body is shaky, and his eyes are wide—his chest heaves as he fights to draw in a breath of air that is not there.
His heart beats like a battle drum, and if he were to put his hand over his heart, he swears he could feel it kick violently. When the tears pour down his cheeks and all hope seems lost, his brother shelters him from the storm.
They spoon in bed, and the position is comfortable and securing, offering Sam safety from the nightmarish panic. Dean weaves his arms around Sam’s waist and hugs him to his chest, and the hand resting over his heart rubs in soothing circles as he whispers “Just breathe, Sammy. Slow, deep breaths...Shhh…”
Sam turns over and rests his head right over Dean’s heart, breathing slowly and deeply as he listens to Dean’s heartbeat. The thumping and close companionship of his brother lulls Sam into a realm of peace where he remains all night as Dean cuddles him lovingly.
