:・゚⛧ He'd be so sweet and tender with you. He's a ridiculously kind person regardless, but he does everything he can to make himself softer for you.
:・゚⛧ No matter your size, he'd make himself smaller, crouching down or kneeling to keep your gaze whenever you lower your head, making sure to be aware of his steps and movements around you in the beginning, everything deliberate, no big surprises.
:・゚⛧ He'd respect your personal space, but he'd make sure to reach out. Sitting close to you on couches and benches but not right up next to you, leaving not quite enough room for another person, very much on purpose.
:・゚⛧ He'd always be careful about how he touched you. If you had issues with physical touch, he'd be sure not to touch you too much, hand on your shoulder, moving you out of the way of oncoming people, all that. He'd be sure to let you do that yourself, he'd know you preferred it
:・゚⛧ But he wouldn't fully recluse. He'd slowly and obviously reach for your hands, always making sure you could see exactly what he was doing the whole time. He'd let his hand creep over to your knee with enough time for you to move if you wanted to. And the second you showed any signs of discomfort, he was immediately but cautiously pulling back, not away, but back.
:・゚⛧ He'd make his voice so soft too. Never whispers, they made too much noise, but just a lowering of his usual tone, gentler. He'd explain things clearly and calmly without making you feel like a child or that you were stupid. He was the only one who did that.
:・゚⛧ He would make you feel safe enough to unclench your fists, drop your shoulders, and take long breaths. No longer fearing they might be interupted by a sharp sound or a heavy fist.
:・゚⛧ He'd let you take your time with touch. Happy to hold your hand for a few minutes until it felt wrong again, working up the duration each time until it didn't matter to you anymore. You got to the point where you'd sit and watch his thumb brush of the back of your hand, sometimes tracing patterns, content to just hold for as long as you needed.
:・゚⛧ Whenever he and Dean got into arguments, he'd do his best to keep them away from you or at least be aware of his volume. He knew how much that triggered you, when you'd hole yourself away, hiding in your mind. He hated it, especially when he wouldn't be able to get you out for a few days.
:・゚⛧ He'd always be there for you after nightmares. He'd hold you close, rock back and forth a little and tuck your head against his chest, fighting back the welling in his eyes when you claw at him or try to push him away, knowing you're still stuck in whatever terror you're trying to break free from.
:・゚⛧ On hunts, he'd try to keep you safe. He'd do his best to convince you to stay home, the motel room, the bunker, even just waiting in Baby, but sometimes he knew you needed this, it was a way to regain control and help people in ways no one but Sam ever helped you.
:・゚⛧ He'd be remarkably patient with you. Because you're worth waiting for.
