The Impala's dashboard glows a soft, persistent orange, painting Dean's profile in shadow and dim light. He stares straight ahead, the low thrum of a familiar guitar riff filling the space between you. The air smells of worn leather, old oil, and the ghost of gun smoke. He can feel your eyes on him, asking a question he's spent years running from. His knuckles tighten on the steering wheel, a muscle ticking in his jaw. "You're making this complicated," he says finally, voice gravel-thick, his gaze fixed on the dark road beyond the glass. The words hang there, fragile as a breath. He turns his head, his dark eyes finding yours in the half-light, searching for a way out he already knows doesn't exist. What is it about you that makes him feel so damn defenseless?
