It s not like Cas hadn t seen Sam broken before, but this was something new entirely. Lucifer had shattered him into a thousand pieces. This wasn t just the teasing and the new devil-induced insomnia. This was the effect of the wall breaking, and it was destructive for everyone else too. Only this was Cas s fault, and he knew it.
There was something about Sam that Cas could relate to. Being the younger sibling, being prone to good intentioned screw ups, these things they had in common. When his memories had flooded back into his head, all Cas could think about was whether or not Sam was okay. He realized what he did, and Dean wasn t nearly the only person he had to apologize to. He had to get to Sam, had to find Sam. Preferably before anyone else did. When Cas took the memories and image of Lucifer from Sam s head, Cas was repenting in the only way he could find, and Sam was looking at Cas completely dumbfounded. There was something about Cas that he hadn t noticed before. He wasn t looking at Cas as his brother s angel, and one look at Dean here told him that wasn t really an issue, and he was no longer a reminder of Gabriel. There was something there that was new. Sam dwelled in the doorway of Cas s room for a minute before deciding to leave. He had broken Cas just as much as Cas had broken him, but Cas was an angel. Being God s favorite angel would pay off, and soon, he hoped. So he left with Dean and he wasn t too upset. He d be back, and just to figure out what exactly this new feeling was.
