SUMMARY:Ā Brooklyn, 1924. During their rise to fame, two professional boxers at the beginning of their careers meet and begin a turbulent affair. Set to the backdrop of opulent parties, dark-lit speakeasies, and the bright spotlight of the championship ring, Dean and Cas get caught up in boxing's seedy underworld.
CHAPTER PREVIEW:
Dean unhooked his arm from Lisaās and faced her. āDrink?ā
Her brown eyes lit up. āIn a minute. I want to dance.ā She grabbed both of his hands and dragged him toward the dance floor. Dean laughed, letting himself be led. He grabbed Lisa by the waist and started twirling her around to the beat of the lively tempo. A singerās voice sounded over the instruments.
Some others Iāve seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss but they wouldnāt do
As Dean spun, he scanned the room, searching for any celebrities, athletes, or socialites.
His eyes landed on a man standing in a small crowd chatting in the corner of the room. He didnāt seem to be doing much talking thoughāor listening. He looked almost irritated to be there. He was in a navy tie and a simple, tailored black suit that was only a few shades darker than his wavy hair. The fabric stretched across his arms and chest. The only items he wore that stuck to the partyās theme were gold Eye of Horace cufflinks that winked in the light. The petite brunette woman hanging off of his arm was a lot more dressed for the occasion, from her headband to her feathered dress to her sheer stockings, but Dean only spared her a passing glance.
In Deanās arms, Lisa giggled and twirled the two of them around. Dean barely registered it. He swiveled his head back and forth, keeping his eyes on the familiar man as if they had been magnetically bound to him. He was the prizefighter from the underground rings. Dean had seen him a handful of times over the years, but not recently. Since the last time, heād bulked up, and his skin was tanner, but that might have been the warm lights hitting his face. They made his shadow stretch tall and high on the wall behind him.
Images of the first time Dean had laid eyes on him flashed to the forefront of his mind.
The giant going down in a bloody heap like David slaying Goliath. The way the prizefighterās chest rose and fell in labored breaths. The blue eyes that swept across the frenzied crowd to latch onto Deanās as the police pulled him away. The shock of the East Riverās frigid waters when Dean launched into them.
He could feel those same waters now. Choppy and laced, dark, all-consuming. His skin numbed.
He watched the prizefighter raise the cigarette pinched between his fingers to his dry lips, watched his mouth wrap around it and the way his chest ballooned while he took a drag.
Then, just like on that night a few years ago, the prizefighter realized he was being watched. Those same blue eyes raised toward Deanās. He lowered his cigarette and exhaled, the gray smoke puffing from his mouth and dissipating in a cloud around his face. He pressed his jaw together, forming a solid line beneath dark stubble, and he stared back unflinchingly.
Deanās body was moving on its own. He was only vaguely aware of the way Lisa pressed against him, of the way they swayed and twirled. He looked over her head, barely realizing that his mouth was hanging open.
He didnāt know what this staring contest was, or if the prizefighter recognized him, too.
The prizefighterās cigarette was burning to nothing where it hung at his side, raining ash down on the marble floors.
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!
Dean hadnāt registered that the song had ended and theyād stopped dancing until Lisa said, āOkay, now Iām ready for that drink.ā
Dean kept the prizefighterās blue stare, assessing him, trying to anticipate his next move. If heād break left or right; if heād try to back Dean against the ropes or wait for Dean to come to him. With such calculating eyes, Dean knew the prizefighter was doing the same to him. He tightened his jaw and dipped his chin, bracing himself for the inevitable incoming blow.
I know emotions are running high right now, and a lot of people are hurt, but please donāt let this situation turn into a hate-fest. Do everyone a favor by not spreading misinformation, reposting things taken out of context, or making definitive claims about a situation you did not witness firsthand.
Using the panel discourse to attack Misha or Jensen, or each other, is not acceptable and it will not help anyone. It will only escalate things further and may end up hurting the actors or affecting fandom spaces that many fans rely on to feel safe.
Please try not to add fuel to the fire when you see arguments starting. Right now, de-escalation and care for each other matter more than winning a discourse.
It is possible to disagree with what was said on both sides without encouraging harassment.
Please protect the community instead of escalating the damage and dogpiling.
So funny to me how some of you seem to picture me jumping intentionaly on jensen's toe just to hurt him and getting out of this interaction without saying sorry and without a bodyguard tackling me on the ground
