@handlessmaiden: [csa implied] the thing about Dean is each motel room each house each night and day spent in his dad’s car were the same, the room settling around him at night pipes groaning walls thin as skin and every sound echoing through his head in the silence. His father's footsteps down the hallway and Dean lying so so still because he knew already and there would be no unlearning but his body always did react before his mind. then the streets after midnight all neon reflected in rain-slick pavement men rolling down windows asking questions they already knew the answers to and Dean climbing into strangers' cars because hunger is hunger because rent is rent and he had responsibilities even though they ripped part of his soul with each time he was left on the pavement of a dirty bathroom to bruise in solitude. and the terrible joke of it all nobody touching him ever really seeing him nobody asking where he went afterward nobody knowing he carried two different fears home with him every night but ultimately they were one and the same. And he learned to make a home out of gas stations and pubs and diner coffee gone cold because the road never promised safety before taking it away #deanwinchester #johnwinchester #supernatural #deanwinchesteredit #johnwinchesteredit
