Adam and Dean

The relationship between Adam and his older brother, Dean is generally an easy one. Dean was the first brother that Adam met when he and his mother met them briefly at a diner in Windom. After his mother's death, Dean taught Adam all of the physical aspects of hunting while Sam managed the research aspect. Dean, like he is with Sam, is overprotective of Adam and also bosses him around and wrestles with him. Dean and Adam share an emotional reunion when Dean returns from hell after serving approx. eighty years there, in reality on earth, it had only been eight months. Even though Dean and Adam fight sometimes, the bond between all three brothers is a strong one. Dean jokingly calls Adam 'little brother' and loves to rib him about little, unimportant things.

When Sam was trying to get Adam to focus more on schoolwork than hunting, Dean was bothered by that, telling Sam that Adam would have to learn to let his old connections to his old life slip if he was going to be an active member of the team. When Adam was injured by the spirit they were hunting, Dean was the one who tried to distract Adam by playing games with him on his cell phone.
