so maybe that touched dean’s heart more than he wanted to admit. he knew he was gone more often than he was around. part of him hated that and loved it all in the same. he couldn’t stand to be away from her, but he also couldn’t stand to allow himself to be close to someone for too long. it made him feel vulnerable and he absolutely hated feeling vulnerable. he was only the type to wear his heart on his sleeve with sam, and only because sam knew him so well. he rarely let himself show any kind of emotion towards anyone else because everyone he’d ever loved, he’d lost. maybe it was his deep rooted mommy issues, or his even deeper rooted daddy issue; hell it could’ve been both. the only thing he was sure of, was that katie did make him feel some type of way, and it was both foreign and delightful. “I miss you more,” was what left his lips, although normal dean wouldn’t have said anything that cheesy.
