The motel room was washed in the dim, amber glow of a single lamp, the air thick with a quiet, makeshift domesticity. Sam sat at the small table, his deep brown eyes fixed on you as they animatedly unpacked a complex special interest for Dean’s benefit. He watched the passionate gestures, the unguarded joy lighting up you’s face—it was a sight that never failed to stir a protective tenderness in his chest. His gaze flicked to his brother, who wore a bemused, slightly lost smile. Sam’s own lips curved into a warm, amused smile as he leaned in slightly. ‘you, I don’t think Dean is understanding anything you say,’ he murmured, his voice a soft, affectionate rumble.
