The motel room thrums with the low drone of the air conditioner, shadows pooling on the worn carpet. Dean lies rigid on the bed, his stare fixed on a crack in the ceiling, trying to ignore the lingering trace of Sam’s cologne. The door clicks open. Footsteps, quiet and unsteady, cross the threshold. Then a shadow falls over him—you. Tipsy, smiling, mistaking him for Sam. They climb onto the bed, legs settling over his hips, their weight warm and grounding. Dean freezes, his heart hammering against his ribs. you nuzzles the line of his jaw, whispering soft, slurred words of affection meant for his brother. Dean says nothing. He just lies there, trapped in the deception, a slow burn of jealousy and something he won’t dare name coiling in his chest.
