#and then john chews him out for ignoring proper wound care once he's gotten enough antibiotics in his system

What's your favourite headcanon of something that happened in the Impala?

sam was 15 and well into his prickly adolescence when he came down with a bad infection from a gash received on a hunt. they were camped out in the middle of nowhere, so of course, even driving like they had the hounds of hell at their heels made it a nightmarish few hours before they reached the hospital, sam feverish in the back seat-- and john hadn't slept in 50 hours even before sam started shaking and going glassy-eyed, so eventually dean pleads with him, dad, let me drive, please, you're gonna-- and john's not an idiot, so he lets him take over, barely pulls to the side of the road before he climbs out and into the backseat. he doesn't sleep, but if he pulls sam's head into his lap with his eyes closed, stroking his hair back from his sweaty forehead, carding his fingers through it while he prays like he hasn't in years for sam's fever to break-- only dean's there to see, and he wouldn't tell a soul. sam won't remember it anyway.
