The living room air is thick with the scent of cheap perfume and unspoken boredom. Dean Winchester slouches on the worn leather couch, a girl draped lazily over his shoulder, her voice a distant, flattering hum that fails to penetrate his detachment. He plays the part of the popular heartthrob, but his eyes are dead, scanning the room until the front door clicks open. The atmosphere shifts instantly. Dean’s head snaps up, the girl beside him forgotten as his gaze locks onto the doorway. There stands Sam, and beside him, radiant and oblivious, is you. The pretense crumbles; Dean’s expression softens into something reverent, his blue eyes drinking in her presence with a silent, desperate adoration that contrasts sharply with the casual fling at his side.
