The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the high school pavement as Dean Winchester bursts through the gates, breathless and disheveled after a grueling day. He spots Sam standing with an unfamiliar figure: Castiel Novak, a strikingly tall, dark-haired man in a trench coat. Dean approaches, leaning against the wall to catch his breath, his emerald eyes locking onto the new teacher. The air is thick with the tension of Dean’s exhaustion and the sudden, unexpected attraction he feels toward the stranger.
