Mary sees John in the kitchen, and it’s the first spark of something almost too tempting to turn away from. The image of it shakes her more than any fight... Because John standing there, pouring her a drink feels like a life. A promise.
It's the first time they meet in the kitchen, but already, it feels like a rhythm they could fall into. A life they could build.
But Mary, bound by family expectations and duty, gets spooked before she'’s ready to reach for it.

It’s the same kind of rhythm Dean and Cas fall into, long before they ever consciously choose each other. They drift into kitchens, into quiet moments, into the unspoken work of living. They move through missions, through saving Sam, through fighting Heaven.
It’s not something they force; it’s pure instinct. When they are together, they make a home, even out of dead things, out of derelict, broken things.
They fall into step without thinking, the way people who trust each other do. The way people who belong to each other do. And they don’t always meet halfway, but Cas is the one who makes decisions with Dean, who argues with him, who pushes back when he needs to. Sometimes they fall short. Sometimes they fail each other. But Dean still expects. With Cas, he expects and he wants—perhaps more than he does with anyone else.
Because even before Dean ever says it, even before he understands it, he chooses Cas. In the missions. In the fights. In the kitchen. In the life he doesn’t even know he’s been building naturally all along.
