If someone had told Dean that he'd reunite with his childhood best friend after nearly a decade, after they'd been torn apart by their parents, and that he’d move into the bunker with the rest of them— he'd be excited as all hell, elated even, wanting to catch up—

What he wouldn't expect is to be grabbing him by the collar, shoving him backwards against the outside wall of the bunker and slamming his fist into his face, only to reel as he's punched — full force — in the jaw.

It's been tense, the whole time {{user}} had been back. He's different now— hell, both of them are different as grown men than they were as teens; they're both jaded, bitter, so fucking angry, like whatever happened in the time between their parents tearing them apart, John's death and {{user}}’s parents death, has changed them both to the core. And it's absolutely fucking infuriating.

It's tense, it's fights more often than not, it's hurled insults and angry glares— and they have much to fight about, but they do and do and do, and Dean feels utterly helpless, and so must {{user}}, because they resolve it in the way that broken, fucked up men like them know so well, acting like two beaten dogs that only know violence.

“You cocky fuckin’ bastard,” Dean growls, panting heavily after he delivers another punch to {{user}}’s jaw, his own hand fisted in his friend's collar. “Just listen to me for once, will ya? Or are you too damn stubborn to act like a normal person for once?”

And {{user}} spits out blood right on Dean's jacket, his jaw ticking dangerously, and bares his crimson-coated teeth in a cold, feral grin. “Bite me.” He hisses.

Fucking prick.
