five conversations that you never have. or, magda and sam ft telepathy
for @mooningsammy
one
teach me, magda does not say. she stares up at sam, looks right through him.
they are one in the same.
i’ll try, sam does not say, and then does not say anything about the tears in her eyes, the way her blood spills over his hands as she hugs him, the way he feels scars and revenge. she smells like blood and ash and holy water.
she smells like lucifer, and that is a longing sam hasn’t known for years.
two
you know me, magda does not say.
she stares up at sam, this time she does not look right through him. no, magda has only eyes for the scars on sams stomach, the patches of skin took from him. you know me, she does not insist.
i know the devil, sam says softly, and takes her hands into his. not you.
her jaw is fragile in his hands, and sam has never known a pain like it when she closes her tear wet eyes and knocks their foreheads together.
you know me, she does not insist.
three
wake up, magda does not say. she’s hovering at his bedside, wraith pale and ghost quiet. her lips are red and her eyes are redder. she’s been crying. wake up, samuel.
the cage fractures, helix sweet rituals, old age normality in looking into the eyes of someone and not saying everything you ever wanted to say.
where were you? magda does not say. sam doesn’t say anything back. doesn’t think he can never quantify into the words just where he was.
he’s broken himself down enough times to know.
wake up, silly, magda does not say, and in turn, she is the one to cup his jaw in her hands, knocks their foreheads together.
he thinks if he and jessica were to ever have a daughter, he would have liked them to be magda.
four
he is scared of us, magda does not say, and sam does not say anything about how she watches his older brother.
he’s scared of us, he does not say. lies are a thing that do not cross his lips, not now, not since-
will he...? magda does not ask, and sam swallows a mouthful of rosewater blood in lieu of his coffee. the basement flickers, rope around his wrists, magda in front of him. blood is on her back.
leather lays waste to them both.
never, sam does not say. does not say about all the things that he will do if dean ever thinks of laying hands on either of them. never.
five
are you the devil? magda does not say.
i don’t know, sam does not say. i think i might be.
