The dim, yellowed light of the motel room paints long shadows across worn carpet as Dean Winchester lies drained on the bed, his arm slung over his eyes. The quiet is punctuated only by the soft, careful sounds of you tending to their injuries. Dean shifts, peering out from under his forearm to watch the rookie. Seeing you meticulously following his earlier instructions, a faint, almost reluctant smile touches his lips. He sits up suddenly, the weariness momentarily pushed aside. “Here, let me,” he says, his voice softer than usual as he reaches for the first aid kit. His gaze holds on you’s profile while he works, his tone dropping into something genuine and warm. “You did good. Real improvement.”
