Not yet. Not because he won’t or doesn’t want to, but after spending thirteen years apart, it took them a while to get used to each other. Dean was afraid something like that would push his brother away. Right when they were finally getting used to each other, Taken happened, and so a long time was spent recovering.
Of course, now things are going back to normal and anything’s possible…
Sam probably wouldn’t have much of a problem. He’s big enough that Dean would hear him if he shouts, and one hand can scoop him back up. If he ever did temporarily get lost, Sam would need to find his way to an abandoned cell phone or hijack a house phone and give Dean a call.
Prepare yourself as the confrontation between Sam and Ilyana comes to a conclusion!

Oh, thank you so much. It means the world to me to hear that you enjoy my writing ;w; especially considering how much I put into it.
Though it has taken a while to find my niche in writing. If I ever read over my first spn-gt story that I wrote over a year ago, I get the urge to shred it and rewrite it from the bottom up ( Reversal of Fate, if you haven’t seen it ). All I’ve done is find inspiration and keep writing. And never stop. If you ever start writing, remember to eat. It reminds me of the days I’d be stuck on games like WOW. Foods just weren’t as important.
It’s not that Dean would get jealous. He understands that Sam almost never gets to feel normal. It’s so hard to spend your entire life having to hide from all but a select few.
Dean would get antsy. He hates having Sam out of sight. It just reminds him of all the times bad things have happened to his brother when he’s not around. The events of Taken, Sam alone in the motel room in Shadows and Reflections, not to mention getting jumped by Ilyana that first meeting with the fire sprites. So Dean is very on edge when Sam’s out and about. In fact, that’s what lands him at the bars some nights. It’s easier to go out and grab a drink or a bite instead of sitting around watching TV, wondering if Sam’s going to come back.
He has indeed! The drunk shenanigans of Sammy can be found in the First Interlude. Dean was very entertained.
So far, not yet.
Sam mostly sticks on either the shoulder or the pocket. He’s fallen asleep in both places multiple times. He doesn’t usually travel in the hands very often, mostly because Dean needs them to drive or research, and Sam’s very independent. The time in Taken was unique because there wasn’t anywhere else safe for Sam to stay for the ride back, and his time being trapped was exhausting. He was out like a light.
He might not play out in the snow for hours on end, but there’s no reason he’d be unable to go out and enjoy it. After all, even small animals live out in the cold. Sam could even make himself a little igloo if he needed to find shelter for a night, with snow being a natural insulator. An hour or two out with big brother and he might be cold, but he probably wouldn’t even notice most of the time. The same way we don’t notice when we’re having fun how cold we are.
In the winter months, Sam will stick a lot closer to Dean than normal. His jacket’s very thin compared to anything Dean owns, so it doesn’t keep him warm. Not to mention, being so small, he doesn’t hold much body heat. So it’s a lot of time spent in the chest pocket. The side pockets don’t do any good keeping him warm unless Dean has his hands in them, and then it can be claustrophobic because Dean takes up all the room.
This doesn’t stop Sam from having fun in the snow. He always wanted to build his own snowman. He just has to watch out if he throws any snowballs at Dean. Dean might throw his own back. (And then have to dig Sam out from under all the snow)
Plus, sledding is awesome when you’re four inches tall. A pile of snow half Dean’s size makes a huge hill, and if he can convince Dean to help, he doesn’t have to trudge all the way back up.
I don’t know how I’d write it, honestly. Dean would dive straight for Sam, that’s all I know for sure. There’s no way Sam’s landing on the ground with Dean around. It’s a good idea for baddies if they can get their mitts on Sam.
In the AU where Dean saves him, terrifying. He woke up with no idea that anything had changed. The only redeeming factor was he was alone with Dean at first. It was for the best. Having John or even Bobby around would be too much for him to take. It could never be enough time to adjust, but at least Dean gave him time to take it all in before anyone started to question him.
In the actual Brothers Apart, very confusing. He woke up with Walt and Mallory watching over him, so concerned for this small boy they rescued. It wasn’t until he tried to run away from them and find his way back to his family that he discovered that they were telling him the truth. Walt had to haul him out of a motel room with a sleeping family in it, saving Sam’s ass. After that, there was no denying what had happened.
