Because of You (Dean Winchester x OC/Reader)
SLOW BURN
(Rae/Reader)
I wasn't looking for him. I was trying to forget my grief, mistakes, the life I thought I was supposed to have.
One afternoon. One bar. One stranger with a worn jacket and tired eyes. And suddenly I was standing in the middle of something I didn't understand yet.
He didn't promise forever.
He didn't try to rewrite me.
He stayed.
Even when staying meant monsters, secrets, and blood on the floor.
(Dean)
I wasn't looking for anything when I rolled into that college town. Just a drink. A night where nobody knew my name.
Then there was her.
One night turned into consequences I couldn't outrun. A child I didn't know how to protect from the world I live in, and a woman who refused to be kept in the dark.
Protecting her is instinct.
Protecting our child is survival.
Convincing myself I won't destroy them both? That's the real fight.
