"Have you seen Dean?"

You ask tiredly, looking up from your computer at Sam and Ruby. You were all hiding out at an abandoned house, keeping Anna safe from both angels and demons for as long as you could.

"Uh…no, I haven't."

Sam murmurs quickly, avoiding eye contact with you as you frown.

"What d'you mean?"

You ask, sitting up a bit straighter. Ruby rolls her eyes.

"He means you shouldn't go looking for him cause you won't like what you see."

Sam glares daggers at Ruby.

"No, just…I think he wants to be alone."

Sam clarifies, clearly lying. You tense up, standing.

"He's outside?"

You get your answer in the silence and make your way to the door, wondering what the hell he was doing that they were making so cryptic.

"Dean?"

You call out, walking through the darkness for a moment, nothing but cicadas chirping and grass shifting beneath your feet. And that's when you hear it. The rhythmic, achy sound of the impala shaking, the windows fogged up. You swallow hard, staring at it for a long time. So that's where Dean and Anna had gone. Of course it was. No matter how much you tried to help him and no matter what you did for him it was always another woman he'd go to. Not even a woman this time, an angel. He'd said he'd hated angels. And he'd sooner bang an angel then even look in your direction?
