"That was...actually almost a line from Fight Club," Dean can't help but note as he shrugs out of his jacket, though his posture is more uncertain when he turns to face Derek. He's big, even if he was only a human Derek's impressively large, and all muscle by the looks of it.
"I nearly died a month and a half ago," says Dean. "Technically, I did die. I was possessed for a long time, and demons aren't exactly kind to the host." Dean clears his throat. It's as close as pride will let him come to asking Derek not to laugh, and Dean looks down at his own hands, aware of how pitifully human they are.
But he survived the apocalypse and then some, and his body has no qualms about a fight, falling into the right stance as easy as breathing. Dean looks at Derek, thinks about Sam and his own 'pretty face' and Castiel's blistered, ruined back, and decks him across the cheekbone as hard as he can.
