Hello, I have a Dean Winchester x reader request where Dean has been captured by a djinn BUT itâs the kind of djinn that Makes people live their nightmares so maybe Deanâs nightmare is seeing Y/N dead, hurt, being tortured, OR just her being with someone else, maybe it ends in a love confession or theyâre in an established relationship, either one would be fine, thank you!

Summary: Dean is captured by a djinn that traps him in a nightmare where Y/N is tortured and killed in front of him. Once Sam and Y/N free him, the fear and relief hit hard, and Dean finally confesses he loves herâonly to find out she loves him too.
Dean didnât remember passing out. One second he and Sam were tracking the djinn through the abandoned factory, flashlights sweeping over rusted beams and broken brick, and the nextâwhite-hot pain in his neck, like being nailed with a cattle prod. Then nothing.
When he came to, he wasnât tied up. There were no chains, no hook in his spine, no blue-veined monster looming over his shoulder. Instead, he was standing in the War Room of the bunkerâand every hair on his body stood up.
âY/N?â His voice echoed.
The lights buzzed overhead. Something dripped. His boots squeaked on the floor as he walked past the map table. His heart was already in his throat. He didnât know whyâhe just knew this wasnât real.
He turned the corner and froze so hard he thought his bones locked in place.
Blood soaked your shirt from a deep slash across your stomach. Your wrists were tied in front of you, rope digging into your skin, and you were gasping for breath, eyes half-lidded, lips trembling. Your skin was too pale for someone who was always warm, always glowing even under crappy motel lighting.
âDean?â you croaked when you managed to glance up.
His whole body seized. âNo, noâbaby, noââ
He slid to his knees beside you, hands hovering, terrified to touch you and make it worse. âWho did this to you? Whereâs Sam? What happened?â
Your hand lifted weakly, bloody fingers brushing his cheek. âYou werenât here.â
That single sentence crushed him like a sledgehammer to the chest.
He pressed his hands over the wound, voice trembling. âIâm right here now, okay? Stay with me, sweetheart. Iâve got you.â
You gave a wet, broken laugh. âYouâre too late.â
He looked upâand you were suddenly on your knees, chained to a post, arms stretched over your head. Your shirt was gone, replaced by bruises and dried blood. Something had carved into your sideâsigils he didnât recognize. Your hair was tangled, face swollen, lips split.
âStop,â Dean rasped, stumbling to his feet. âTake me instead. You hear me? TAKE ME! LEAVE HER ALONE!â
A shadow moved behind youâindistinct, hulking, laughing low and slow. Dean charged forward, but his feet sank into the ground like wet cement. No matter how hard he pushed, he couldnât reach you. His lungs were closing up. His vision blurred with rage and terror.
âDeanâŠâ you whispered again, voice like broken glass.
Then a knife slid through your back and out your chest.
He screamed so loud the bunker shook.
When he jolted awake, he was tied to a support beam in the real factory, drenched in sweat, ropes tight around his chest. Sam was already there, sawing through the bindings.
âDean, hey! Heyâyou with me?â
Dean turned his head so fast his neck cracked. âWhere is she?! Whereâs Y/N?!â
âRight here,â your voice came from behind Sam.
You were sweaty, a little scraped up, but alive. Whole. Real.
Something ugly and desperate tore free in Dean's chest. He didnât think, didnât careâhe lunged the second Sam cut him loose and grabbed you like you were the last solid thing on earth.
You stiffened in surprise. âDean?â
He buried his face in your neck. His hands shook where they fisted in your jacket. He couldnât speak at first, breath coming in ragged bursts. Sam stepped back, giving you space.
You slid your arms around him slowly. âHey. Iâm okay. Iâm right here.â
He pulled back just far enough to look you overâhis eyes were wet, green and wild. âI saw you die,â he rasped. âI saw youâGod, I couldnât get to you.â
Your heart cracked. âDjinn?â
He nodded, swallowing hard. âThe kind that feeds off nightmares, yeah.â
You cupped the back of his neck. âIâm not going anywhere, Dean.â
Something broke open behind his ribs. The fear was too raw, too real, too much to shove down this time.
âI canâtââ He stopped, wiped at his face angrily. âI canât lose you. You hear me? I canât do it.â
Your breath caught. âYouâre not gonna lose me.â
He stared at you like he wished he could crawl inside your heartbeat and stay there. And then, rough and unfiltered, the words came out:
Your lips parted, stunned. His eyes flashed with self-loathing. âForget itâI know youââ
It came out certain, warm, and immediateânot a question, not a hesitation.
He blinked. Once. Twice. âYeah?â
You nodded and pressed your forehead to his. âYeah.â
He exhaled like heâd been underwater for years.
Sam coughed from a few feet away, half-smirking. âWe good to go, or should I give you two a minute?â
Dean didnât let go of you. âWeâre good,â he muttered, but he didnât move an inch.
Your fingers threaded through his. His thumb traced your pulse in silent worship.
He didnât need to say it againâyou were real, alive, in his arms.
And that was enough to drown the nightmare for good.
