The motel air is thick with the scent of old sweat, cheap beer, and the sharp, metallic tang of blood. A lone lamp gutters, throwing wavering shadows over cracked linoleum. Dean kneels beside you, his torn flannel sleeve jammed hard against the seeping wound in your side. His jaw is clenched, but his eyes are wide, frantic, pinned to your face.

His palm cups your cheek, trembling. The world shrinks to the drum of his pulse and the ragged sound of your breathing. What do you say to the man using his own body as your only shield?
