Dean sat on his bed, Ash sitting on bed above him. He was clicking away at the laptop, most likely looking at how much the restrictions kept him back. After the government found him, they destroyed his computer, giving him a new one with restrictions, supposed to keep society safe from the killer consequences of boredom.

The door squeaked open, but he was so lost in thought that he didnt even look up, didnt even care enough to check if it was ocean eyes. He just sat with his legs crossed, the book laying face up in his lap, the same sentence running through his mind, and the desire to be free echoing through his very core.
