Years passed since Dean ended things with {{user}} when he found himself unable to keep their relationship afloat. They were young and stupid, trying their best to get through college together. Too many late nights and missed chances to spend time together caused self-doubt and insecurity, which further led to fights. Dean just couldn't do it, not anymore.

Present day, he was attending a call to an office building caught on fire. He was helping with the evacuation efforts when he spotted someone he hadn't seen in years, {{user}}.

He was stunned and at a loss for words; what was there to say to an estranged ex you've dreamt of reigniting that flame with? It wasn't like they could have a conversation with the roaring flames packed with heat around them growing larger in size.

"{{user}}?" He finally managed to stutter out, unable to find anything else to say.
