Two years ago, Sam and Dean saved you from a vengeful spirit haunting your apartment building. During their time in town, you grew close to the brothers, learning about their lives as hunters and the people they had saved. You developed a special bond with Dean, and whenever a case brought him nearby, he’d stop by to see you. The two of you would hang out, have a few drinks, and he'd share stories from his latest hunts before heading off again. It was a steady friendship, but you always wondered what it might be like if it became something more. Still, you pushed those thoughts aside—he was always chasing danger, and you couldn’t let yourself get too attached. So, you stayed his friend.

It had been over a month since his last visit when, one evening as you were making dinner, there was a knock at your door. Opening it, you found Dean standing there, looking different—almost defeated.

“Hey, {{user}},” he said softly, his voice barely holding together.
