A/N For my fic the boys have the Batcave and Bobby is still dead but Naomi does not exist, and the whole angel tablet story doesn't exist either.

Oh and I'm from Ireland and I have no idea how far away Kansas is from Georgia, if you let me know I'll fix it. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural or it's characters sadly.

Dean was sipping his cup of coffee at the Batcave, Sam walked in saying goodbye to someone on the phone. Dean looked up questioningly as Sam sat down to eat some French toast Dean had made.

"Who was that?" Dean asked curiously.

"That was Garth, he said that there was an outbreak of Zombies in Georgia." Sam said worriedly.

"Well we're two states away, couldn't he get someone else?" Dean asked again.

"Believe it or not, we're the closest ones, he's called others too but we need to go soon." Sam said sighing, reaching over for another slice of toast.

Dean was about to say something more but was interrupted by a knock at the door. Both Sam and Dean looked at each other curiously, lifted their guns and walked slowly to the door. Dean opened the door slowly, gun raised, when he realised who it was, he breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the gun.

"It's just Cas, jes' you scared us man. You didn't need to knock you normally just show up." Dean said looking at Cas worriedly.

Castiel's breathing was fast, his face was a bit red and his hands where white, it was freezing outside. "You don't like it when I just show up, it startles you. I thought I should knock this time."

"Cas? What's wrong with you? You're freezing!" Dean said worriedly, Sam looked at Cas curiously as well.

"I'm fine Dean don't worry." Cas said, he walked over to the table and lifted a slice of French toast and began to eat it quickly, causing Dean and Sam to look at each other worriedly before looking back to him.

"Cas, you're hiding something, what is it?" Dean said, stepping closer to Cas.

"I told you, I'm fine Dean." Cas said quickly, stepping back a bit.

"Cas you've been gone for hours, you said you were going into town to get something and then you'd be back, normally that would take you 5 minutes. So why were you gone so long?" Dean asked, eyeing Cas with suspicion.

Cas squirmed under his gaze, he didn't want Dean to think of him as weak, he just wanted Dean to believe that he was alright. "I just decided to go for a walk, I'm always flying everywhere, I thought I would walk since it was a nice day out." He lied, hoping it would be enough to pacify Dean, but the look in Dean's eyes showed he wasn't going to give up any time soon.

"Cas, you hate walking, it's minus a gazillion degrees outside, you came in and ate the toast like you had never seen food in your life and you have huge bags under your eyes, don't you think for a second that there's nothing wrong." Dean said angrily, the concern in his eyes betraying the anger he showed.

"It's nothing!" Cas said, in a tone that meant he didn't want to discuss this anymore. He gave both of them a curt nod and walked out the door, slamming it behind him.

'What am I going to do? I'm losing my grace, I'm becoming human. What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to protect them now?' Cas thought to himself sadly, raindrops began pouring from the sky as if to signify his mood. He glared at the sky for a while, knowing full well that it wasn't the sky's fault. 'Dean's going to think I'm weak and useless, well I am when I'm like this. I can't be human, I don't know how to be. How am I supposed to help them? I can't even help myself. My skin is sore under the rain, my stomach is sore due to hunger, I've got a headache from staying awake until the Winchesters' go to sleep and waking up hours before they could possibly waken, just so they won't know. It's getting harder to hide.' Cas sighed defeatidly, he felt something in his chest, his eyes began to water and he began to sob. He couldn't stop it no matter how hard he tried. He put his face in his hands, trying to silence himself and stop the tears when he felt a hand on his shoulder, making him flinch.

"Cas, please. Tell me what's wrong." Dean said gently, he turned so he was facing Cas and pulled him into a hug.

Cas didn't know why but when Dean hugged him he felt an urge to cry more and that's what he did. He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't, he put his arms around Dean and hugged him back tightly. He finally got his tears under control and he looked into Dean's eyes.

"Dean, you're not going to like what has happened. I do not wish to be a burden, I want to help you in anyway I can but I'm afraid I am useless to you now." Cas said sadly, looking down at his feet.

Dean looked at him sadly, "Cas...I would never be mad at you for this you should know that, it's not your fault. Don't ever think you can't tell me things like this." Dean said, pulling Cas back into another hug. "Now tell me what happened," Dean said calmly, rubbing circles gently on Cas' back.

"I'm...I'm becoming human Dean. I've been trying to hide it for a few days, but I'm exhausted, I'm hungry, I'm cold and I felt that if I told you, you wouldn't see me as your protector anymore. You would only see me as weak, I even feel sadness that I cannot protect you, in myself." Cas said, he was ashamed. If it was any other time, he may have relished being human for a while. However, Dean was a hunter, who was always getting himself into trouble, and when he had his mojo, Cas could protect him at a moments notice. But not now.

"Cas it's nothing to be ashamed of. I can't believe you thought I would disown you or something like that, just 'cause you lost your mojo. Me and Sammy can teach you to be a hunter, if you'd like. I'll teach you how to deal with being human too, alright?" Dean said smiling gently, it was evident he was trying to cheer Cas up, his worry was showing in his green eyes.

"Thank you Dean, I would like that very much." Cas said, smiling a little at Dean.

"Can we tell Sammy what happened?" Dean asked.

"Yes." Cas said simply following Dean back inside.

Sam was sitting by the table on his laptop, no doubt researching the next case. "Hey Cas, you alright?" Sam asked, looking up worriedly from the laptop at him.

"Sam, I'm becoming human, my mojo is...is gone. I'm sorry." Cas said calmly.

"Cas, it's not your fault, no need to apologise." Sam said worriedly.

Dean walked in with a bowl of cereal, "here eat this, it should fill you up for a bit, we have to get out on the road soon, well bring you some pillows and a blanket so you can sleep in the car alright? Oh and you should probably change too, the rain soaked your clothes and you don't want to get sick. That's a huge downside to being human." Dean said hurriedly, Cas stared at him, absorbing everything he said to memory.

"Dean, Sam, thank you for everything." Cas said gratefully.

"Anytime Cas," Dean said, Sam nodded and smiled, then went back to researching on his laptop.

Cas finished eating the cereal, lifted his bowl and took it in to the kitchen, he put his bowl into the dishwasher, he had seen Dean do it before, and sat down on the sofa. He felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders after telling Dean, and he sank down deeper onto the sofa, his eyes fighting with him to stay open.

"Cas, stay awake! You can sleep in the car, I promise." Dean said, as he was holding pillows and a blanket. "Could you open the door for me while I put this in the car? Then I'll get you a change of clothes." Dean asked, Cas yawned but got up and did as he was told. After the "bed" was made in the back seat, Dean took Cas up to his room and began to look around for clothes for Cas to wear. He grabbed a pair of jeans, boxers, socks, a t-shirt and a jumper to keep Cas warm.

"Here, you need to put all these on after taking everything you're wearing off." Dean said awkwardly.

"Dean, I don't know how," Castiel said dejectedly, if he was honest he would have preferred to keep his regular attire on, despite the illness that might ensue.

"Fine, I'll help you, but the boxers you change yourself." Dean said, his cheeks slightly blushing, Castiel tilted his head confused, he was about to ask a question when Dean stopped him, "Don't ask, it's not important." Dean said, he helped Castiel out of his clothes, Cas' movements were slow due to exhaustion. "Dude, how much sleep did you even get?" Dean asked.

"Maybe two hours every night for the past week, I became anxious about what would happen if you woke up and noticed I was sleeping." Cas explained tiredly. When he was finally changed, Dean looked at him. Cas looked amazingly cute in his clothes, the clothes were a bit too big on him, making him look vulnerable and Dean had an overwhelming urge to protect him.

"Come on, you can sleep in the car while we get everything ready okay?" Dean asked, pulling Cas slightly by the hand, guiding him towards the car. Cas was so exhausted, he wasn't even walking straight, he was pretty much leaning on Dean for support. Dean helped him into his "bed," pulling the covers over him. "I'm going to lock this door Cas so no one can get in while you sleep. We'll be out in ten minutes."

Cas just nodded tiredly, curled up in a ball, pulling the blankets around him, drifting easily off to sleep.

A/N That was chapter one, I think I made Dean too OOC in this but aw well, I love fluffy Dean, this is slightly angsty which I hate but don't worry, no character deaths or anything like that shall happen. I personally hate it when it happens without warning in a fic I love DX

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, please review I give you cookies (^_^)o lol Hope to update this soon :3
