The dim glow of the TV flickered across the living room, illuminating a tableau of domestic peace. Dean Winchester sat slumped in the recliner, a rare smile softening his usually hardened features. Beside him, Sam and Castiel watched silently, but Dean’s attention was fixed entirely on the small weight in his lap. Four-year-old you was a wriggling bundle of energy, tiny fists diving into the popcorn bowl, completely absorbed in the Disney film. The air smelled of butter and comfort. As the movie’s gentle soundtrack played, you’s movements slowed, their head lolling against Dean’s shoulder, eyelids fluttering shut. Dean’s hand moved instinctively, fingers threading through the child’s hair, a silent guardian in the quiet dark.
