The Accident
All he can hear is sirens.. God those sirens are SO loud.. He thinks, he tries to open his eyes but they are heavy. He tries to get up, his arms and legs don't seem to be working either. He tries to speak, it hurts so badly. He realizes there was an accident. Instantly he starts to remember what happened.
Cause Blue Eyes, You are all that I need, Cause Blue Eyes, You're the sweet to my mean
The music is playing softly on the speakers of the Impala; Dean is singing it softly, trying not to wake Castiel from his slumber. They are driving home from a small stay-cation that they had in a city near Lawrence, Kansas. They loved each other so much and they needed a break from their lives of homework and working and late night.
They had gone to Clinton Lake for the weekend to spend their visit swimming and on Bobby's boat. Cas had been awake for the first part of the drive but they decided to come back so late that he had fallen asleep to Dean's singing. Cas woke up as the end of Blue Eyes was being sung by his fiancé.
I just wanna sing a song with you, I just wanna sing a song with you, I just wanna sing a song with you...
Cas smiled at Dean and leant in to kiss his cheek. Dean's face lit up and he looked over at Cas for a moment. They were already almost home by this time and when Dean looked over at Cas and saw his beautiful blue eyes.. Everything stopped.
Dean tried feverously to move or speak or at least open his eyes again but he still wasn't able to, all he could do was hear everything going on around him. Sirens, those damn sirens. He hears a familiar voice and he tries to zone in on it. The last thing he hears before blacking out again is, "DEAN!"
Cas is still in his seat of the Impala, which is a miracle because Dean refuses to put seat belts in. Cas feels a heaviness on his head but he doesn't care, he gets out of the Impala and is trying to find Dean, he looks everywhere in the mess of their accident. There are already ambulances and police and firemen at the scene, the paramedics are trying to make Cas to calm down but he can't. I need to find Dean, he thinks to himself. He finally is able to croak out the words and then he sees paramedics around a body, he recognizes the familiar leather jacket and runs to the body, yelling for his fiancé.
"Dean, Dean.. Oh my god, baby!" Castiel is crying over Dean, he can't tell if he is still alive. The paramedics are talking but Cas can't hear them over the ringing in his ears. "FIX HIM" he yells at the paramedics that are surrounding them, one of them separates Cas from Dean and is trying to talk to him.
"Sir, if we do not get him to the hospital right away we may lose him" the paramedic is trying to calm Castiel down while also checking his vitals. Cas watches as they put Dean on a gurney and are attaching everything they can to him as they put him in the ambulance. "Can I go with him?" Cas asks so softly compared to his yelling. "Yes but you also need to be checked for injuries and damage because, sir, your head is bleeding." Oh that's what that pressure is "Yes okay, thank you" Cas walks to the ambulance that Dean had just been put in and Cas gets in before they close the doors.
The older paramedic starts to ask Castiel lots of questions about who he and Dean were and what they had been doing and what happened during the accident, the entire ride to the Hospital was a blur to Cas. When they got to the Hospital, Dean was taken to the ER and Cas was taken to a separate room away from Dean and Cas started to freak out again. He couldn't leave Dean alone; he had always promised he wouldn't.
Once Cas is all patched up and on meds for the pain. Sam comes in after a soft knock on the door to his room, Cas jumps up "Is Dean okay, Sam?" He asks terrified and all of a sudden dizzy from jumping up and Sam helps him to sit down. "Cas you need to calm down" Sam cautions "they sent him to surgery and they are giving him blood, he lost a lot of it. Do you remember what happened, the accident?" "No, it was all so fast.." "Well the truck hit Dean's side of the car and he flew out of the car when it happened, but the paramedics said that he should make it with lots of rest and rehab." Cas sinks into his bed and sobs quietly "I'm scared, Sam." Sam sits next to his soon to be brother-in-law "me too, Cas, me too."
- Two hours later -
Cas had fallen asleep on the hospital bed in the room that they had given him, Sam was sitting on the chair in the corner and when the doctor comes in they both wake up and look at him expectantly. "He made it but he will be asleep for the next few days from all the trauma, you two can go see him." Cas gathers all of his things and he and Sam go to Dean's room. Cas starts to cry at the sight of Dean hooked to every machine that is in there, tubes in his mouth and connected to both his arms, a cast on one of his legs and one of his arms and then a few bandages wrapped around most of his skin.
"Dean.." Cas' voice is so broken from the sight of his fiancé. Sam gently puts his hand on Cas' shoulder, trying to comfort him.
- Three days later -
Cas is waiting by Dean's bed, watching the man's beautiful face as it is starting to heal. Cas smiles as he leans to kiss Dean's forehead and then sits down, sipping his coffee. Sam had gone to work because well, he still had one. Dean's eyes flutter and then open, focusing on Castiel. Cas smiles with tears in his eyes, he reaches his hand to gently touch Dean's face. "You are so beautiful, babe" Cas says softly and then leaves to get the nurse. Cas comes back in, following a nurse and he has his phone to his face. Prolly calling Sammy he thinks to himself and twenty minutes later Sam comes in and Dean tries to smile only to be stopped by tubes. I was right he did call Sammy, he thinks and drifts back to sleep. The nurse turns to Cas after Dean goes back to sleep, "He is going to be in and out of sleep for a few days but this is progress and we will be in and out continuously checking in on him." Cas smiles and thanks the nurse before resuming his perch next to the bed with a coffee in his hand and Dean's in the other.
They were in the hospital for two months before Dean was allowed to go home, Cas had started going back to work a month after the accident. Dean had started to get significantly better day by day but he had to go to physical therapy every day for the next six weeks after getting out of the hospital. Sam was able to get the Impala back to Cas and Dean's house and Cas, Bobby, and Sam had worked on it on their off days while Dean was still in the hospital. Every little thing was starting to come back together in their lives.
