"What have you done?" Growled Balthazar. Dean dropped the toothbrush in his hand and yelped in surprise. Something, he will continue to deny.
"Balthazar, what a pleasure," Dean said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"WHAT. Have. You. Done?" he repeated, a bit slower this time.
"I haven't done anything. Not recently! What is your problem anyway, you can't just appear behind someone like that for no reason. Other than to be incredibly annoying."
"To Cassie. What did you do to Cassie?"
"He just flew off or whatever. I don't know why, ask him."
"I would love to. But I'm still struggling to stop the endless torrent of tears." Balthazar replied, with a bitch face that could match Sam's.
"Tears? What the hell is going on?" Dean demanded, the confusion clear on his face.
"From what I can understand, he has come to the rather painful realisation that YOU are using him. After helping you, all he wanted was some thanks. Not a lot to ask for really." Dean looked away ashamed, he remembered what had happened earlier. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot the part about emotions. He has them you know. You apes are rubbing off on him, he's grown rather fond of you." Balthazar ranted. Dean just stood there taking it, then there was silence. Balthazar was looking at him as if Dean was supposed to say something.
"Take a picture. It lasts longer." Dean snapped.
"You blind fool. HE LOVES YOU!" shouted Balthazar before zapping off to God knows where.
Dean just there, Cas loved him. His brain struggled to keep up, he wandered to his bed and collapsed there hoping to make sense of what had just happened. He glanced over to Sam's bed, seeing he was gone, he sighed. He wasn't sure if he was glad that Sam hadn't heard the fight or annoyed that he couldn't ask Sam for some advice.
How did Dean feel for Castiel? Balthazar asked himself this over and over after his visit. He loved his brother more than anything and didn't want him to get hurt, Dean was sure to hurt him. Balthazar told himself that Dean was no good for an angel like Cassie, that even if they got together (which he doubted would ever happen) Dean could never be there for Cas the way Cas wanted, the way he needed. Dean wasn't the lovey-dovey type, 'chick flick' moments that would mean the world to his Cassie would be too embarrassing for the hunter. He sighed as he approached Castiel's room, he could hear that he was still upset, he could tell from that moment. If Cas didn't get with Dean, he will be broken forever, and that would hurt Cas too much. Balthazar would help, if he could, he would guide Cas and bully Dean until they realised what they meant to each other. Even Balthazar couldn't miss the spark in Dean's eyes when he discovered Cas's feelings.
"Cassie, can I come in? Please."
"Mhhmm" Came the muffled reply, as Balthazar walked in he saw Cas had his head buried in a pillow. Cas forced himself up, his face still wet from tears and his eyes slightly bloodshot.
"I want what's best for you Cassie. That is all I ever wanted. At first I thought Dean was trouble and I was right, but he's changed you for better or worse and I can see that what's best for you now is him." Castiel's face lit up at this revelation from his brother, this reaction made Balthazar smile as well. "I'm going to help you try and win his heart Cassie, I promise. First I think you need a break from him, let him realise how much he needs you and come to terms with how he feels about you." Balthazar continued, being with his favourite brother bringing a side of him out that no one else saw.
"You spoke to him didn't you, you told him how I feel." Cas said, with no anger in his voice only curiosity and love.
"I did Cassie. It nearly killed me to see you like that and I just had to talk to him. It came out in the heat of the moment, I know you would want to tell him yourself. I'm sorry."
"Don't be stupid Balthazar, you wouldn't have died because you saw me." Castiel said seriously.
Balthazar couldn't help but laugh, "You're right brother" he managed to say between laughter. Soon Cas joined in laughing , and he whispered to Balthazar.
"I wanted you to tell him. Thank you."
