A/N: Thank you for your review Tish! It is greatly appreciated

"Come again?"

Oh Dean heard Castiel just fine, he just needed to hear it again so that he was sure that he heard those words right. Castiel was in love...with him...and Sam. This was something new that was for sure. The brothers had plenty of offers in the past, most commonly from Pamela but this...well Dean really didn't know what to say and he certainly didn't expect Cas to..get mad.

"Do you really think that I /want/ to be suffering in this manner? I am confused I have no means of understanding this. I am lost to this feeling that is so overwhelming that I can not control it and I do not have answers for it. I understand that this is confronting Dean. Why do you think that I have wanted to keep it to myself and keep myself away from you. I do not like this. I do not like this feeling of confusion. I do not regret what I said because it's the truth but this is far harder on me then you can possibly fathom"

Dean didn't even get a chance to say anything in return, Cas was gone. Doing his pesky vanishing act just as Sam walked into the room

"What was that all about? Is Cas ok?"

He had heard some of the conversation but only the last sentence. What had been so hard for Castiel that has caused him to have an outburst like that?

"Oh yeah, Cas is just peachy. Oh and F.Y.I Boy Wonder, the next time that you are hell bent on fixing Cas cause you think he is broken you can friggen do it. Because that- THAT is out of my league"

"Why what happened Dean"

"Oh nothing except the angel is in love"

Sam gave a soft smile but before his mouth could even open to ask a few more details about this feathery romance, he got his answer about it.

"Oh and here is the punchline. Cas isn't just in love with one person. No no the angel has TWO people he is interested and take a good guess at who those two people are"

Sam rose his brows. Clearly Dean was flustered over this. Which pointed all the signs to that the angels affections were on them. Though for a moment Sam actually understood why that was. They were the only two people that Castiel had ever been close to. There was Charlie too but unfortunately that had it's too soon ending but the angel relied on them too. Cas needed their guidance and help to understand the things he had trouble grasping. It was them that had taught the angel about emotions and feelings, they taught him how to use a phone and a computer and how the world worked for them. Cas was like a weird little alien that was so curious about everything that some times he just got lost and it had been up to them to help him find his way back. He knew that it wasn't easy for the angel. None of it could have been. He was like a robot in heaven and even though it was nearly ten years since then... he wasn't still able to fully grasp a lot of things

"Us"

Sam sighed and he took a seat across from his brother. What there they supposed to do in this situation? Castiel was their family and neither of them was ever going to intentionally hurt him. They couldn't. He meant a lot to them, both of them. Of course Sam was aware that Cas and Dean had a more dominant bond, that they were closer but that wasn't to say that Cas and Sam hadn't had something special either.

"What do we do about this?"

Dean just looked at his brother, shrugging his shoulders. What were they supposed to do? They couldn't just tell Cas that it wasn't going to happen. This was Castiel, THEIR CASTIEL. Dean knew that this could lead them down a dark path. It could drive a wedge between Team Free Will. Dean wouldn't want that, they needed Cas, he was family too, they couldn't not have him.

"Would it be so bad?"

He asked, though he didn't actually realize that those where the words that had come out until after he said them. Did he really ask Sam if it would be so bad ? Dean wasn't exactly a stranger to having a bit of a flirt with other men and they shared pretty much everything else, so why not Cas too? He already knew he couldn't live without him, not properly, he would fight and die for him, he cared about him, loved him, prayed to him even though it went against the beliefs, there was loyalty and respect and he wanted the angel happy, how was that any short of what should have been present when in a relationship with someone? Then there was the perks of exploring certain sexual things with someone that really had nothing much to base it on...It didn't really sound all that bad at all, at least not to Dean.

"So what you're suggesting we...share Cas?"

"Yeah. I mean you know we would have to have boundaries and stuff but think about it Sammy. This life doesn't exactly leave it open for anything "apple pie" like. We love Cas, he loves us I can take care of the physical, you can handle the emotional- we really don't have much to lose in this situation, except Cas if we laugh this off"

"Dean, I don't know about you but...I have never been with another guy before. How do..I mean..it's Cas"

Dean made a gesture with his hand of a pointing figure in a gun like pose towards Sam. He didn't know why he had reacted so poorly towards it, though he really didn't a chance to react in any real way. Cas was gone before he even had a chance to say much more then "come again" the way Castiel had reacted was almost heartbreaking. Dean adored Cas in every single why and hearing his pain...it didn't feel good at all he didn't want Castiel to have some bad memory of the first time he admitted being in love. It might have been a bit of pity but at the same time..he knew that he would end up losing the angel to someone else who might have actually deserved him and if Cas was really in love with them both then why deny him of something that he had genuinely earned. He needed someone to accept him for his quirks, he needed someone that would be able to have the patience and kindness to make the angel to feel accepted and if it was unconditional love, trust and friendship with a side of the kinky stuff...then Dean didn't see why he couldn't accommodate for that. He already tried that, he already tried playing husband and dad and it just didn't work. The road wasn't a place for playing happy families, his family were the ones he traveled the road with so it was killing two birds with one stone.

"Exactly, it's Cas. Not some random guy. It's Cas, dorky nerdy feathery goofball Cas. The same guy that saved my ass countless of times, saved your ass countless of times, sacrificed himself to Lucifer. Castiel that died for us, that gave us every chance we could ever have to survive the worst of the worst. He is our angel Sammy"

"Dean this is really insane. I mean. If he is really in love ...with us? Isn't this kinda leading him on?"

Sam didn't want to hurt Cas, either way he felt like no matter what he did he was going to end up hurting the angel. Was in IN love with Castiel? Probably not, not to say that he couldn't come to be in love with him if they spent more time together. He supposed it was wholly possible, after all he had loved a demon for less and Dean was right, Cas went against heaven for them he had gone to extremes to make sure the Winchesters were safe. There was love their, without question- maybe it just hadn't had a chance to blossom? Still this was weird but they spent their whole lives around weird two brothers in a relationship with the same angel? It wasn't the strangest thing that had ever come to mind.

"What harm do we have in trying this out. This is Cas, even if it all goes to shit do you really think he would see us any different? We are all he knows"

"Well I guess we call him down here then?"

Dean stood up and looked up towards the ceiling. It couldn't ever hurt to add that minor detail. He had always done it each time he prayed for Cas. Somehow Dean's voice was always heard and there were times that it had it's problems but mostly it was literally a life saver.

"Castiel. You got your radio on? We need you here..please..we want to talk to you about this whole thing"

"Hello Dean, Sam"

The voice behind him cause the hunter to turn around and face him. Only Castiel looked...different. He wasn't wearing his suit and trench coat. He was dressed in a hoodie and a pair of jeans. It was always weird seeing Cas in a more casual attire and he was eating a tub of cookie dough ice-cream.

"Cas? Are you ok?"

Sam asked noticing the very obvious difference in the angel. He had a sneaking suspicion that Cas was brooding, that he was reacting to an emotional distress. He had never actually seen this in person before. Just in the movies, he rose a brow looking at Dean then back to the angel

"I am comforting myself. What do you want. You interrupted my movie"

"You were watching a movie? Not porn right?"

Castiel rolled his eyes as he looked over to the older Winchester. He was clearly not in the mood, for as people said, bullshit, though he didn't understand how nonsense pertained to the fecal matter of a bull. Nevertheless, despite not particularly wanting to look at the humans, he did always come when he was called by either of them.

"No, Dean. I was not watching pornography. I would hardly think that watching two people having sexual intercourse would be at all comforting when one is having an emotional crisis. Now, again, what do you want?"

He had been told then when suffering a heartbreak that they usually sat watching romantic movies and ate junk food because they were old and alone and the only thing that would love them was food so he had gone to the movie store and asked for a romantic movie and ice-cream. Though Castiel hadn't particularly enjoyed it, Bridget Jones' Diary did certainly have some very valid points that would later use in an argument to prove a notion.

"Ah well, Cas. Sam and I talked about what you told me earlier and we have..well hell, we think you should be with both of us"

"You two are not funny. You called me here to tell some joke? I am eating ice-cream out of a tub and watching a movie about a woman with the same predicament. I am having an emotion crises, Assbutt, I don't appreciate this"

Just as Castiel went to leave he was stopped by Sam's voice

"Cas he's telling the truth. We think that if you are in love with both of us then we need to give this a chance because, we all deserve some kind of happiness"

"You are telling the truth?"

Castiel asked placing the spoon he had in the nearly empty container and placed it down on the table, wiping his lips of the creamy mess that had graced his lips. He really wasn't sure what was occurring here. Were the Winchesters actually accepting his confession despite him not knowing if this was being in love or if it was physical attraction.

"Yeah Cas, so what do you say huh? Do you want to be our..boyfriend?"
