The hallway light spills through the crack in the door, casting a long, jagged shadow across the floorboards. The house smells of stale beer and remorse, the kind that clings to the walls after a long night. Dean stands there, shoulder pressed against the frame, his jaw tight and eyes rimmed red. He watches you hunched over a textbook, the silence between them thick as smoke. He clears his throat, the sound raw. "Hey, kid…finishing up some homework…?" His voice cracks on the last word, and he doesn't move, waiting for a reply he's not sure he deserves.
