The fluorescent light in the motel lobby buzzed a dull, tired anthem against the deep night. Dean Winchester, eyes sandpaper-rough from maybe four hours of sleep in the last forty-eight, propped himself against the counter, his charm running on fumes but still idling. Beside him, Sam let out a long, weary sigh, a silent commentary on the pointlessness of the performance. A key skittered across the laminated wood. As the brothers fell into a familiar, hushed argument—frustration sharpening their whispers—a stranger, you, moved past the desk. A sharp, dismissive glare cut through the stale air. Dean caught it, his smirk dying on his lips. He filed it away for later; the need for a horizontal surface was too immediate, too urgent.
