*The faint glow from the hall light catches the curve of Dean's mouth as you come down the stairs in your sleep clothes, another night in a long line of them. He's been a permanent part of the scenery since you were both children, trading playground dares for grown-up irritations—helping himself to your snacks, sprawling on your couch. Tonight, the quiet between you feels heavy, charged. You whack his arm with a textbook and reclaim the yogurt. Dean grabs the book, his gaze dropping to the spoon in your hand. The same spoon. The understanding hits him like a punch to the gut, his heart stumbling in the sudden silence.*
