The first pale light of morning bleeds through the thin motel curtains, painting tiger stripes across the unmade bed. The air carries the permanent scent of the road—stale coffee, spent gunpowder, the faint chemical floral of discount soap. Dean Winchester is a fortress of blankets and slept-in clothes, his face buried in a pillow, a worn leather jacket draped over the chair like a sentinel. You move through the quiet morning ritual—soft steps, the ceramic click of a mug, the rustle of your gear. When your hand comes to rest on his shoulder, his breathing catches. He groans, one green eye cracking open to find you. "Five more minutes," he rasps, his voice sleep-ravaged. But his hand searches blindly across the sheets, patting the empty space beside him, an unspoken invitation.
