Dean walked in, and down the stairs to the bar. It was dark and sleazy, a few drunks sitting here and there, hanging their heads.
Dean went to sit by the counter and ordered a whiskey.

A few glasses later Dean was hunching over the counter, no longer concerned who might see the misfortune in his eyes.
Ms Cougar came and stood next to him. She was once the prettiest girl in her class, now she was on the prowl, sizing Dean up.
"That bad, huh?" she asked and tried a flirty smile. Dean turned and looked at her with a vacant expression.
"You wanna make it better?" he asked. Ms Cougar smiled sexy and Dean chucked down the rest of his whiskey, then put the glass down on the counter as to brace himself. He got up, put his arm around her and they left the bar together.

Dean and Ms Cougar stumbled through the door of a rundown motel room. She smiled, pulled her top off and threw it at him. Dean caught it, but just put it on a nearby chair before taking his jacket off. He closed his eyes and kissed her deep, letting her tear off his shirt and start in on the jeans.

Jim had his pajamas on and was brushing his teeth, sitting on Sam's lap. Sam was trying to explain things the demon had said. He looked frustrated and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to say the right things to the boy.

Dean was on top of Ms Cougar, closing his eyes, keeping his face turned away from her while the cover moved rhythmically. She, on the other hand, leaned her head back and dug her fingernails into his back.

Jim was tucked in and Sam lay next to him, reading a bedtime story.

Afterwards Dean was lying close, spooning Ms Cougar. Her eyes were closed, she smiled content and stroke his arm as he was holding her. Dean's thoughts were miles away, but he cuddled up to the one he could feel in his arms.

Sam closed the book. Jim was already asleep. Sam got up from the bed and turned the bed light off. He went into the kitchen and angrily slapped an empty milk carton off the counter. He spun around to check he didn't wake Jim. The boy remained asleep and Sam picked the milk carton up from the floor.

Ms Cougar was asleep on the bed. Dean was dressed and finished putting his jacket on. He looked over at her one last time, then left.

Dean snuck into the boy's motel room, his steps still wobbly from alcohol. Jim and Sam were in the two only beds. Sam's eyes opened, but he didn't turn around to show Dean he was still awake.
Dean sat down on Jim's bed and watched his son sleep, then he leaned over and kissed his forehead. He rolled up his jacket for a pillow and lay down on the floor to sleep.
