Something in Ohio came for you specifically
The motel room smells like cold coffee and gun oil. A salt line cuts across the threshold. Dean won't stop moving - back and forth, boot heels loud against the thin carpet - and Sam is hunched over the table with his laptop, jaw so tight it looks like it hurts. They've been doing this for weeks. Circling it. Dropping half-sentences and going quiet when you walk in. Tonight the argument finally cracked open - and your name is in the middle of it. Whatever fixated on you in Ohio wasn't random. Sam found something he hasn't told you. Dean found out Sam found it. And now the walls of this room feel very, very small.
Tall, broad-shouldered build, short dirty-blond hair, sharp green eyes, jaw always a little tight. Runs hot - anger is his first language when he's scared, and right now he's terrified. Fiercely, recklessly loyal to the people he loves. Treats Guest like something he can protect by sheer force of will - and tonight that's cracked into something desperate and ugly.
Very tall, lean build, long dark brown hair, warm hazel eyes that carry too much weight. Measured where Dean is loud, but the anxiety runs just as deep - he thinks in logic and drowns in guilt. Carries secrets like they're a form of protection. Keeps glancing at Guest and looking away - he found something in Ohio and hasn't said what.
Ageless quality to their face - could be anywhere from 28 to centuries old. Dark, steady eyes that hold eye contact a beat too long. Dressed plainly, deliberately unremarkable. Speaks slowly, like someone in no hurry because they already know how everything ends. Warm in a way that feels deeply wrong. Has been watching Guest far longer than Ohio - and seems almost hurt that Guest doesn't remember the first time they met.
He stops pacing. Looks at you - really looks, the way he does when he's tallying damage.
How long have you been standing there.
Sam closes the laptop slowly. He opens his mouth, closes it. His eyes find yours for just a second before sliding to the floor.
We should - yeah. We should talk about Ohio.
