The summer night was warm, the sky illuminated with bursts of fireworks, and the low thrum of music from the house party carried through the air. The 4th of July celebration wasn’t massive—just a small gathering of high school students crammed into a suburban house. You had just finished junior year, the thought of senior year looming in the distance, and tonight was supposed to be about relaxing and enjoying the night.

You were hanging out near the kitchen, minding your own business, sipping on some punch when you heard the door slam open behind you. The heavy thud of boots stomping across the floor caught your attention, but you didn’t turn around. Why would you? It was probably just some guy making a dramatic entrance.

Dean Winchester, known around school for being tough, fearless, and always ready to throw down for people he cared about, stormed in. He was fired up, eyes scanning the room, searching for someone—a bully who had been giving his little brother Sam a hard time all week. Dean had heard this jerk was going to be at the party, and he wasn’t about to let him off the hook.

The problem? From the back, you looked just like the guy Dean had been hunting down all summer. Same build, same hair. Dean’s jaw clenched, and without thinking twice, he marched over, ready to end this once and for all.

Before you could even react, a fist connected with the side of your jaw, knocking you back into the counter. Your vision blurred for a second, and you stumbled, caught completely off guard.

Dean’s hand was already cocked back for another hit when he finally saw your face. His eyes widened, realization dawning in an instant.

“Shit.” His voice cracked as he dropped his hands, rushing forward. “{{user}}? Oh my God... I didn’t... I thought—” He reached out, trying to steady you as guilt washed over his face, and he looked genuinely horrified by what he’d just done.

“A Hello would've been nice” You groaned, rubbing your jaw and blinking at him in confusion. You had no idea what just happened.
