"Yeah, you're so jaded 'cause I'm the one that jaded you" – Jaded (Aerosmith)
"He has jaded you, Castiel!" Zachariah spat, "He has made you dependent on him, because you crave him when he's not there."
"I love him!" Castiel protested, "You would never understand, Zachariah! You wouldn't-no-couldn't understand what love is!"
Zachariah then started to beat Castiel, throwing vicious punches and heavy kicks and finally sending him off to be dumped on Dean until he was healed.
A bright flash of light caused Dean to look out of the window of the motel room. He rushed outside to see Castiel battered and bruised on the floor.
"Cas!" He cried, "Oh God…what happened to you?"
"Z-Zachariah…" Castiel wheezed, coughing slightly as Dean lifted him to his feet and helped him inside.
Dean held his angel upright the best he could, gently removing Castiel's coat and suit jacket, followed by the tie and dress shirt. He saw the bruises on his body and then looked back up at his face.
"I just…" Castiel breathed, his body sagging slightly, "I need to rest so I can heal."
"Sure, baby." Dean replied, gently laying Castiel in the double bed they'd been sharing recently. He climbed in the other side and leaned on one elbow.
"What did the bullfrog want?" Dean asked.
The angel looked confused until it dawned on him who Dean was talking about.
"Oh…Zachariah…" Castiel said, coughing again, "He does look a bit like a frog...He told me that you'd jaded me."
"Oh, you mean because we've been having sex for the past few nights." Dean said, "Well…it didn't really feel…"
Castiel looked on as Dean became a little flustered.
"It felt more like making love…as cliché as that sounds…"
Castiel nodded and took Dean's hand.
"Will you hold me while I sleep?" Castiel asked, Dean nodding and taking his angel in his arms.
"Maybe you are jaded, Castiel," Dean whispered, "But I'm so grateful I got to be the one who jaded you."
