AHHH YES THOUGH especially Dean’s “please don’t hurt me again” face cuz now that you’ve said that I can’t get that out of my head
That was actually my first thought when I saw the gifs that Michelle made and actually got a good look at Dean’s face.
It’s a kicked puppy face like “please don’t hurt me again” kind of face ON TOP of the fact that he doesn’t look at Seth directly is so telling of someone who has been hurt before and is afraid of it happening again.
And I could go on and on about how both Dean and Roman’s reactions are due to how Seth’s betrayal played out like Roman was the first to be hit. There was no warning there and he turns to face Seth head on to make sure that if it happens again he sees it coming. Meanwhile Dean saw Roman fall, looked back to see Seth holding the chair before Seth beat him with it too. He had time to put the pieces together, had to realize that one of his best friends his brother was the one attacking them. He doesn’t want to see that coming again, he’d let Seth stab him in the back just so he doesn’t have to see the look on Seth’s face while he’s beating him down again.
