I went back and read the prequel, and there are so many perfect lines in this pair of stories:
Sam never understood before now that some curses you're born with, and Dean's is green-gold eyes and their mother's cheekbones so he uses metal bands and bravado to turn it into a dare.
Dean's arm is hard muscle beneath Sam's fingers, but the tug caught him off guard and now Dean has to follow or he'll stumble.
When he looks up Sam can see that the bruises have reached his eyes now.
Unrecognizable under sticky glitter and smeared eyeliner and it doesn't make him look older -- it makes him look -- Sam's wrong but --
Laughter all around and Dean is embarrassed, not even realizing it's a prophecy for his whole god-damned life.
The reasons why are scattering away along with Dean's control but Dean knows they can't do this; not again, not if they want to come out whole on the other side. The other lines are beautiful, but this is the one that convinces me that these boys are going to break themselves with grief and love.
