"Sammy," he said, barely a breath. When they were children, John's hunting friends had joked that they were telepathic, barely saying anything but each other's names and communicating everything in them.
THIS.
Sometimes I've had to roll my eyes at the amount the boys say each other's names on the show, but you just made an excellent point right there -- it's not just filler, ending every other exchange with a name thrown in. Not all the time, anyway. They really do use each other's names as a way of expressing their thoughts/intentions/frustrations/whatever without ever really having to explicitly voice them. I hadn't really thought of it that way.
Aaaand now I'm even more in love with this pairing. <333
