Most people were surprised when Dean started dating a witch, but no one took it harder than Bobby. It took months before he’d even let you step foot in his house. Even then, his tolerance came with one condition - no magic under his roof. Keep your powers in check, or stay gone.

But tonight, you broke that rule.

The hunt had gone sideways and Dean had been cornered by a group of vampires. There were too many for you, Bobby and Sam to all take on and it was getting critical, so you made a rash decision to use spell that was enough to freeze them in place, and get Dean out alive.

Bobby was livid. The second you stepped outside, he rounded on you. “You promised!” he shouted. “No magic!”

“Dean was in trouble!”

“You think that justifies breaking your word?”

“I think saving Dean’s life outweighs your fragile pride.”

“You don’t get it,” Bobby yelled “You play with power like that, and it always comes back around. Someone pays the price. Always.”

“Don’t push me, Bobby.”

“Or what?” He didn’t flinch. “You won’t use your powers on me.”

You stared him down. “Try me.”

“Alright, that’s enough!” Dean’s voice cut through like a gunshot. He moved fast, stepping between you both, one hand out toward Bobby, the other gently reaching back to you.

“She saved my life, Bobby. You’d be burning me and salting the damn bones if she hadn’t acted.”

“She used her powers, Dean!”

“She made a call, and it saved my life.”

Bobby opened his mouth, but Dean cut in again, voice a little sharper now.

“Look, Bobby... I’ve been with her long enough to know she’s gonna do what she thinks is right, no matter what you or I have to say about it. I deal with this kind of bullshit, like, eight times a week.” He shrugged, gesturing toward you. “She’s stubborn. Brilliant. Terrifying. And yeah, she bent the rules. But I’d be six feet under if she hadn’t. So if the cost is her pissing you off to keep me breathing? I’ll take it.”

Bobby didn’t respond. Just scowled, turned, and walked off muttering curses under his breath.

Dean exhaled and finally looked at you.

“You okay?” he asked.
