hey, you know these two guys you love, who are also really fuckin' awesome good guys? They're also badass and scary and extremely, extremely violent (when necessary)
And there it is, the thing folks forget about all the time. These are guys whose successful day ends in something bleeding and/or dying. No one can tell me that they don't think in terms of violence sometimes as answer, especially Dean who sucked up every lesson that John taught him. John was a Marine. Military guys don't learn a lot of sharing and caring, 70s aside. They're always going to be more likely to punch each other than hug each other.
And the truth is, when Dean hits Sam and Sam hits Dean. . . the hitter's the one feeling it (well, most of the time *wink*), more so than the one being hit.
That too is a basic truth. Like I said, sharing and caring isn't a Winchester strong point. Even Sam, who seems to think that he's a sensitive kind of guy, isn't as much as he thinks he is. Or wanted to be. He tried really hard but being a Winchester really is kind of a curse. And lashing out at family is a way they have of expressing self-hatred or shame or doubt or hurt. (Maybe that's kind of a guy thing too)
Plus here we have the current situation. Dean's hardly likely to sit down and say, "Sam, I feel that once again you're choosing the supernatural as a way to deal with your lack of self-confidence and your 'father' issues with me." I can totally get that Dean's feeling betrayed and gosh, where would he get that feeling from? Oh yeah, the whole year Sam lied to him and fucked around with a demon. Mind you, Dean didn't really stretch himself to reconcile the next year and that was his fault. I think he'd pretty much trained himself not to interact with Sam at that point. And Sam did try as hard as he could to make up for what he'd done. I just don't think Sam really *knew* what he'd done to Dean.
Damn...this shit is hard when you're looking at it from the outside and loving them both. You can't really pick a side. *pout*
