Prompt: teen!Dean & Azazel, "You're not so tough, kiddo."


He keeps an eye on Mary's brat, the little rugrat that carried Sammy out of the nursery(not that Sammy was ever in danger, no, firebrand's Mary special boy would have been taken care of, even if the soldier failed).

He remembers that hunter who claimed to be Campbell's grandson, the man who smelled of hellfire and Alistair, who said he'd kill Azazel one day. Who said he already had.

The boy hadn't lied. Azazel would've seen that in him. He had Mary's eyes and Campbell's determination.

So, Azazel watches, but he never really does believe the boy is a threat. And when Dean is a teenager, full of hormones and emotions and hopes he can't control, when he wants to lash out at everyone and everything but doesn't because Daddy wouldn't approve and Sammy wouldn't understand, Azazel goes to him wearing a respectable man and asks for directions, just to see how much like Mary he really is.

He tastes like her, and whimpers a little like her, and he clings so tight as Azazel whispers filth into his skin, wondering if Alistair did the same.

Azazel thanks him, using the meatsuit's kindest smile, and presses a gentle kiss to Dean's forehead.

When they meet again, years later, while Azazel is wearing Johnny, he wonders what would happen if he leaned in just close enough to brush his lips against the shell of Dean's ear and whispered those same things—what would Dean do?

He thinks, while telling Dean how proud he is, you're not so tough, kiddo. Really, this is the boy who kills him?

Not a chance. He's been inside Dean, and the kid's not a threat.

(In the graveyard, he sees the beginnings of that man he spoke to in Campbell's house. Maybe that Dean wasn't so off-base, after all.)
