Dean didn't remember very much of what had happened at the party last night, hell; he wasn't even sure how he had gotten home in the first place.

His brows furrowed a bit, as he tried to think back.

He remembered drinking—as if the pounding in his head wasn't enough of a reminder, and talking to some girls who—judging from the forgotten panties lying on his bedroom floor, he had managed to talk into coming home with him, and he remembered being kissed by Lucifer—who had pretty much disappeared for the rest of the night.

Everything after that was a bit of a blur.
