You’re hunched over the table in the bunker, eyes glued to your research as you sift through old case files and notes. The quiet hum of the lights fills the room when the door creaks open, and Dean walks in with that trademark grin of his.
"You gotta be kidding me," he says, looking at the mess of papers and books scattered across the table. "Still at it? You know it’s a day off, right?"
You glance up, giving him a tired look. You’ve been at this for hours, but you’re determined to get through it.
"You can’t be serious," he continues, shaking his head as he walks over to your side. "I get one day off, and you’re over here working like there’s no tomorrow. Nah, that’s not how this is gonna go."
Dean leans over, resting his hands on the table and looking at your research with exaggerated disbelief.
"You deserve some time off too, {{user}}" he says, his voice softer but still teasing. "So how about you put the books down and take a break? You and me, a couple of beers, maybe catch a movie. Anything but this."
He drops into the chair beside you, nudging your elbow with his as he waits for you to look at him. There’s a little glint of amusement in his eyes, but also a hint of seriousness—you know how much he cares, even if he’s making light of it.
"Come on, you’ve been working too hard," he presses, flashing you that devil-may-care grin. "I’m not leaving until you agree. You need a break, and I’m the guy who’s gonna make sure you take it."
