Better Late Than Never
Summary: Some things just need some time to turn out good.
Notes: Set at some point after the season 6 finale. I still can't wrap my mind around the theory that Dean might kill Cas. There HAS to be another way to save our angel. Answer to the E/O challenge – WOW: late. Told from Dean's POV. Sorry, but I can't write a drabble with just 100 words. Not with the Winchesters.
You know, my Dad and Father Jim used to say that good things come to those who wait. I honestly never believed in that. I've seen too many terrible things in barely 30 years of existence. I saw almost everybody I care about, everybody I love, I saw them dying. Mom, Dad, Sam, Bobby, Jo, Ellen. But that was literally nothing compared to the revelation Castiel gave me about two months ago. He declared himself as the new, "improved" and "better" God. I couldn't believe my ears. But it was the brutal truth, accompanied with the falling of the wall in Sam's head and the return of the memories of Hell. And now? Now I'm standing in Bobby's kitchen, once again wondering if my eyes are bad or not. Cas is standing in front of me – and it's not the "God" Castiel, it's the "Angel of the Lord" Castiel I've come to know and to respect. Next to him, Sam is sitting at the kitchen table, looking comfortable and stable, as if the last two months were just a very bad and very alive dream. Finally, things are going back to the "normal" we all are used to know. Well, as they say, better late than never.
