Disclaimer: I do not in any way own Supernatural, nor do I in any way make money of of this.

Castiel, not needing to sleep, rolled over in the bed that he shared with Dean, and let his eyes wander over his sleeping lover. Cass' fingers traced the strong line of Dean's jaw, a jaw that frequently told angels and demons alike, to fuck off. A jaw that the renegade angel loved. Cass slid his hand down Dean's chest, making sure to stop at each scar along the way. Years as a demon hunter had given Dean many scars, and as Cass' hands found them all, he thought of all the people that Dean had saved while collecting those scars. He thought of the bravery, and strength of spirit Dean had shown in fighting back against things that so many people were unable to accept as real. He felt his way down Dean's arms, careful not to wake him up. Cass felt the muscle there, and he felt the pain and sacrifice that made that muscle hard. Cass pushed the sheet out of the way and felt his way down Dean's legs. He felt more than saw, all of the happy endings Dean had walked away from. He saw each time that Dean could have stepped off the path he was on and each time that Dean could have lived a happy, normal life and chose to walk away. Castiel felt all of this, the pain, agony, heartache, courage, and love that made up Dean Winchester, and he smiled. He pulled the sheet back over them, kissed Dean's stubbly cheek and leaned over to whisper in Dean's ear, "I rebelled for this."
