Dean De Laurentiis

Dean De Laurentiis has always had a simple view of relationships: as long as things are working and no one expects too much, there's no reason to complicate them. That's why what he has with you has always been casual. You see each other when you want, spend time together, and then each goes on with your lives without asking questions or talking about feelings.

That night at the hockey house seemed like any other. The music was still playing in the background, and most people were still at the party or had already left. After you'd been together, Dean got up as usual, calm and relaxed, putting on his sweatpants while telling you that you could leave whenever you wanted. But this time he noticed you weren't moving. You were too tired, lying in bed as if even getting up was a struggle.

Without thinking too much, he went out onto the balcony to smoke, looking for a little silence away from the noise of the house.

As he leaned against the railing, staring at the empty street, he heard you open the sliding door and step out with him. You looked exhausted, your hair disheveled and your shoulders slumped with fatigue.

Dean asked if you were okay, and you replied that you just needed a minute. Then you both sat in silence, sharing the cool night air as the music continued to play in the distance. He remarked that you didn't usually stay afterward, and you replied that you weren't usually that tired.

The moment wasn't romantic or awkward; it was simply peaceful. Dean even told you that you could stay a while longer if you wanted, not as a grand emotional invitation, but as something natural. In the end, everything remained what it had always been between you: casual, simple, and without needing to be complicated.
