Not how I wanted to die
Chapter 2: Just making sure you are there.
Castiel put his hands on Dean's clothed arms and started to rub. Dean was shaking when he looked at the angel.
"C…Cas… I'm cold." He shuddered.
"I know… I… I know." Castiel said as he rubbed harder.
"It doesn't help… come here…" Dean whispered. "L… let me… C… Cas."
Dean slowly moved towards his friend and as he forgot their personal space issues, he put his head under Castiel's and hugged the angel tight. Castiel moved to the walls and put his back against it as he pulled Dean in and put his arms around his waist. Dean sat on Castiel's lap and even if he wasn't comfortable at first, he moved closer and let Castiel hugged him from behind. He started to feel a little bit warmer and smiled softly.
Dean knew he shouldn't close his eyes but he wanted to sleep, he wanted to forget the cold temperature. He had started to feel hungry all of a sudden and he knew it wasn't a good signed. He opened his lighter again to see if he would get any heat out of it but it didn't help and he closed it again. It was dark and cold and unpleasant. Dean finally turned his head a little bit to look at Castiel.
"C… Cas." Dean shuddered.
"Can I have your lighter a se… second?" Castiel asked and Dean gave it to him.
The angel moved his arm around to look if they could use anything to get warmer but nothing seemed to be useful. He gave the lighter back and Dean put it in his coat pocket. Castiel tighten his grip around Dean and let his head rest Dean's shoulder.
"I… I'm so sorry…" He whispered. He noticed the small difficulties they now had to talk and often needed to repeat themselves. Another symptom…
"I am t… too." Dean said as he moved to take Castiel coat off again. "I don't need it, you take it." Dean said. "I'm warm… I… d… don't need it."
"No, Dean. It's part of the hypothermia. You think that you are warm but you are not. You are freezing. I won't let you die!" Castiel said maybe a bit too loud.
"I want to help y… you…" Dean said and he noticed he had stop shivering, was this a good signed? Was he actually getting warmer and it was only in his head? Probably in his head…
Castiel held him tightly against him and brushed the frost out of Dean's hair. He felt tired and so did the hunter. Dean hide his nose inside his coat as he closed his eyes slowly. He felt himself drift to sleep until Castiel started to shake him awake.
"You need to stay awake, Dean." He explained.
The hunter nodded and tried to keep his eyes open. There wasn't any sound except the freezer's noise and he soon fell asleep again.
"Dean? Dean!" Castiel shout as Dean opened his eyes again.
"Talk to me…" Dean said. "Tell me a… about heaven…"
"Um… well, it's been a time s… since I've b… been there." Castiel said.
"What a… about your ch… childhood?"
"Dean…" The angel simply whispered.
"J… just talk, dammit! We are stuck here t… to die and Sa… Sammy won't come get us! C… Cas… I'm s… so sorry. Why didn't y… you just… left me in hell?" Dean shouted.
"Dean, please…"
"Cas, I'm so sorry…" Dean whispered as he felt a frozen tear rolling on his face.
Castiel held him closer as he felt tears fill his eyes. He didn't even think angels could cry. He kissed the top of Dean's head softly and shook him another time as he saw Dean closed his green eyes.
Dean woke up and looked around. He sighed again. Sam wasn't going to rescue them. He would have done it by now. He was going to die here. How embarrassing was this? He was a hunter, he fought demons an even angels, they even fought the devil and he was going to die in a freezer with dead pigs…
"C… Cas?" He asked slowly.
"Yes?" The angel asked.
"Ma… making sure y… you're st… still there." Dean said.
At least he had his angel. He would die in Castiel's arms… how great. Cas would not die though. He would be there until the end. Dean turned a little bit so he was facing the angel and hidden his head on Castiel's chest. He cried as the angel held him closer.
"Are you… still a…awake?" Dean asked.
"I'm here, Dean. I'm sorry." Castiel whispered in Dean's hair. "I'm sorry."
It was silence for a moment before Dean spoken again.
"Cas?" He asked again.
"I'm here. I'm right in front of you." He said as he held him tight.
Another moment of silence.
"Castiel?" Dean asked.
"Yes, Dean?" The angel answered.
"Thank you… for everything… Cas… C…" Dean said before his head fell heavily on the angel's chest.
"Dean? Dean… wake up." Castiel said as he shook his friend. "Dean!" He shook him over and over again but nothing could woke him up. "No…. no, please, no…" He whispered as he shook him again. "Dean…"
Castiel held him as tight as he could. He waited until Dean woke up again slowly. Castiel looked up for a second as if he was praying.
"Cas?" Dean asked once again.
"I'm here… I'm not moving. I'll stay by your side, Dean… always." Castiel said as he rubbed Dean's back.
The angel was lucky… he wasn't felling all the symptoms like Dean was. He seemed fine even if he couldn't use his powers. He wished so hard that he could right now. Dean was losing consciousness and Castiel knew that the hunter had hypothermia by now. If nobody rescued them, Dean would die. He would die in his arms. Castiel's worst nightmare. If he could have nightmares anyway. He held his charge closer and prayed slowly. That's all he could do at the moment. He kissed Dean's forehead again and tears fell from his eyes as Dean asked him if he was still there. He would always be there.
"Thank you Cas…" Dean said. "I'm… sorry."
I'm a big baby when it come to sad stories and movies so maybe it was only me but I cried writing the last chapter. It's sad... but I won't say anything else.
