Heartbroken

It's when Dean picks the tan trench coat out of the water that it really sinks in. Up until now Castiel was a little misguided and in trouble up to his eyeballs and beyond…But he was still there and there was hope he'd see sense (and he did) and come home.

But holding the soaked cloth of Cas's signature apparel in his clenched fists Dean has to concede that there isn't a reset button for being ripped and torn from the inside out by god-knows how many supernatural creatures all begging for a taste of sweet beautiful freedom.

Dean has a sinking feeling that Cas isn't coming back this time.

He covers the heartbroken whimper that breaks free from his lungs with a quick cough. It's yet another ally gone, another connection lost but even Dean knows it's more then that. It's Cas. Cas was family, he was his best friend. Heck he was right up there on Dean's list of favourite people.

And now Cas is gone and Sam is twitching like a trapped animal beside him and Bobby is looking like he thinks eating his gun is better then this shit (and Dean might just agree with him there). But Cas is gone…And Dean keeps circling that little fact in his head.

Cas is gone…Cas is gone…Cas is gone…

"Cas you idiot." Dean mutters gripping the coat tightly in his hands as his voice betrays his utter gut-wrenching grief.

Cas is gone and Dean is barely holding it together now.
