Called you up in the middle of the night

[funandfangs]

Benny was still trying to get used to it up here, still trying to get his head around all this. Hell, half the time, it was hard to believe it was real... that he was back alive and had his second chance -- whatever he intended to do with that beyond killing his maker. He had no clue.

And he didn't have much of anybody up here.

He knew he said he wouldn't do it. It was supposed to be the end of the road for them, unless it was an emergency. But Benny wasn't doing all that great on his own. He needed a familiar voice, someone he could trust.

So that's why he got his phone out and dialed the only number he really had. Maybe Dean wouldn't appreciate the call - knew he probably wouldn't, but he let it ring anyway. When he heard Dean picking up, he cleared his throat.

"Hopin' I didn't wake you up now, brother," He drawled out as casually as he could make himself.

Dean still wasn't sleeping much. He didn't sleep more than a couple hours at a stretch in Purgatory and it was a difficult habit to break. So when the phone rang, there was no hesitation on his part. Dean picked up the phone, slipping out of the motel room.

Just hearing that familiar drawl made the knot of tension in his chest loosen up a bit. It was supposed to be for emergencies only, but there were some things he'd never really be able to talk to Sam about.

"Hey Benny. Naw man, didn't wake me up. Just starin at the walls, trying not to go nuts. What's up?"
