Men of Letters Bunker – Lebanon, Kansas – sometime after the God/Darkness sit down and talk

Dean smiled slightly as he tried to suppress the shear amount of joy he was feeling and had been feeling since things had for once been going great in his god forsaken life. Amara had made up with her brother, Cas was back to normal (or what was considered normal for the angel of the Lord and his best and closest friend other than Sammy who didn't count because he was his brother), his mum was somehow miraculously alive and had moved into the men of letters bunker with him and his brother (and Cas when he was not in heaven, which wasn't that often lately due to his brothers and sisters being a bunch of feather dicks) and was getting back into hunting with her two sons and the angel (who she had formed a close friendship with in the short time she had been back from the dead) and lastly at long last there were no things he had to worry about apart from the normal salt 'n' burn type of cases that was regular for hunters. That's right there was no mark of Cain to worry about, no trials that had almost killed Sammy, no frikin' darkness to defeat, the apocalypse was long over and although they had lost people along the way they had survived and had also gotten back his and Sammy's mother which was a bonus and a gift from Amara. Two minutes later Dean rounded the corner from one of the many halls in the bunker and walked into the library, his guard down as he knew no one could get in unwanted. But that didn't mean anything when it came to his brother, who he hadn't noticed and now promptly knocked him out. His vision blurred and then … darkness.

"Dean …. Dean?" the voice said as Dean came around with the worst funkin' headache this side of a hangover. As his vision came into focus he first noticed that he was for some reason tied to a chair and gaged. Second, that Cas, who was in a ring of holy fire was also tied and gaged, and although not panicked looked rather annoyed. The last thing that came into focus as he came around was Sammy sitting on the war room table as they were now in the war room which he deduced as he saw Sammy on the large table covered in the intricate map of the US.

"Ah good your finally awake, now we can begin"

Begin what Dean thought as Sammy walked over to first Cas then him removing their gags but keeping them tied up, and in the ring of holy fire in Cas' case.

"Sammy, what the hell, man" Dean yelped as the duct tape was ripped from his mouth that was now stinging a fuckin' lot now that Sammy had removed the offending restriction of speech.

"Well Dean, I'm sick to death of the sexual tension that has built up in this bunker since Amara made up with her brother and we forced Lucifer to give Cas back his vessel" Sam put mildly with a never changing tone that kind of was scaring Dean.

"What fuckin' sexual tension, I hope you're not insinuating that there's something going on between Cas and Mom, Sammy, because eww!" Dean exclaimed with a high pitch that he would never admit to later if asked.

"That … what, no Dean that is just all kinds of wrong. No I mean you and Cas. It's been driving me crazy for years, the eyefucking alone is all the proof a jury would need. But I've had enough so I'm going to just leave and lock you in here until you come to your senses and talk it out with the damn angel …. Sorry Cas" he said and turned to the angel at the last bit with an apologetic look on his otherwise annoyed face.

The angel said nothing still shocked that everyone had seemed to figure out his feelings for the hunter who just happened to be his best friend and charge. The only one, it seemed that hadn't figured out about his feelings for the hunter, was the hunter himself as he seemed just as shocked as Cas felt. What Cas didn't know was that while Dean was thrilled to find out that Cas had feelings for him, he was also astonished that his brother had deduced about his own feelings for the angel.

"Well" Sam said with a bounce as he got up, slashed Dean and Cas' bindings, put out the ring of holy fire and turned to the door. "I'll leave you to it …. Catch you later alright" and with that he left the room, locking the door on his way out.
