Ello everyone! I'm baacckkkkkkk! It's been what? A YEAR AND HALF! And I missed you all SO MUCH! FINALLY! So here is my first ever Destiel one shot! (please be gentle/no flames) :) "The Story of Us" series is going to be a series of one shots in different universes and times both pre Destiel and Destiel. I now have a tumblr and A03 account (where these stories will also be posted/the link will soon be on my profile).
This one was inspired by an amazing classical song I stumbled upon on spotify for my Destiel playlist. It's called, "VI: Adagio (We Are The Champions - Bohemian Rhapsody - Who Wants To Live Forever?) by The Queen Symphony" and it's absolutely mind blowingly perfect and beautiful. If you'd like (DO IT! haha) you can listen to it while reading this ;) Enjoy!
At first Dean's angry at Cas. He tells him how "goddamn stupid he was," how he needs, "to think about himself out there and not everybody else". How he's not "invincible" anymore. Cas finishes wrapping his wounded arm and walks to Dean. He thinks for a moment and then looks back to the bloodied Winchester in front of him. The man he left everything for… and said man has no idea. And Cas decides he's done with that. Cas explains how he doesn't think about anyone else when they're fighting a monster, he only thinks about protecting him.
Dean's confused at first, but Cas goes on to explain how he has been protecting Dean for years since he pulled Dean out of hell. And rather Dean likes it or not he'll fight his way through anything to protect him. Even if it kills him.
"Hell, Dean, everything I've done it's been for you. Maybe someday you'll get it through your thick skull. Because everyone else can see it except you. I care about you Dean. More than anything… More than being an angel, more than any sorry excuse for a family I had before, more than any hunt or relic or anything out here, more than having or finding my grace. Because you are my grace. I… I need you Dean." And Cas just stands there, tears brimming his eyes, and waits for any sort of reaction from Dean.
All Dean can do is stare at first. But then it clicks, finally, something in brain says "pay attention you idiot, you need this and don't you dare let it pass you by." Dean thinks to himself, "this man standing in front of you has stood by you through thick and thin and will stand by you forever, no matter what." And Dean knows he would do the same for him.
Without even noticing he throws himself at Cas almost taking them both down and wraps his arms around him. So tight, one hand lost in Cas' hair, his head in the crook of Cas' shoulder. Cas' arms wrap around Dean as if he's drowning, hands cradling Dean's head. They both let out a shaky breath neither knew they'd been holding. "I need you too Cas. I need you so much," Dean says just above a whisper into Cas' neck.
