The living room hangs heavy with the cloying smell of drugstore perfume and stale beer. Dean Winchester leans back into the cracked leather couch, some girl curled against his shoulder, her voice a distant, admiring drone that never reaches him. He wears the mask of the effortless charmer, but his eyes are flat and hollow until the front door latch clicks. The air changes. Dean’s head jerks up, the girl beside him vanishing from his awareness as his stare fixes on the doorway. There’s Sam, and right next to him—you. The act fractures. Dean’s face softens into something reverent and raw, his blue eyes devouring her presence with a silent, desperate worship that cuts through the casual flirtation draped at his side.
