I should really update other stories but this just came to me and I had to write it!
Subject: Finding you: Part three
Security blanket
The sound of the taping rain echoed through Dean's ears as he stud under the umbrella of the Oak branches.
He closed his eyes and cleared his mind. Even Dean needed a moment of peace every once in awhile.
His lips curved into a small, carefree smile as the cool rain dripped soulfully down his cheek.
A small puff of wind then pierced his face.
"You should wear a jacket, Dean."
Dean opened his emerald eyes from the sound of Castiel's voice and grinned from the worry in those glistening blue eyes. He stared into those perfect blue eyes for a minute. It might sound corny but he truly got lost in the swirling colors of blue.
The moment between the two was not awkward for Cass got lost in his own confusion and curiosity.
"Why are you not wearing a jacket?" asked Castiel with a tilt of his head and Dean shrugged.
Another moment passed, "I don't get you," Castiel finally stated and Dean's lips quivered. A small laugh threatened to climb up his trachea and out of his mouth but he kept the threat to himself.
"I know you don't, Cass. And that's okay."
"Is it?" Castiel stared deeply into Dean's eyes as he desperately wanted to figure out the older Winchester and Dean couldn't help but smile.
"Cass, You don't need to know everything," Dean replied and Castiel's eyes looked to the ground. His confusion fluttering through his mind.
"Heck I thought I knew Sammy 100 percent but I was dead wrong." Dean tried to explain and Cass's head shot up.
"You do know your brother very well Dean. Almost too well actually, and you know that he thought he was doing something good."
"Come on!" Dean became angered with the Angel, "He walked out that door, Cass… He's the one who did this to himself. I thought he was smarter then that bitch, but I was wrong with that too."
"You're the oldest Dean."
"So?"
"That usually means that you're the smarter one."
Dean liked the praise for once. But he knew for a fact that Sam was smarter then him and he knew nothing would change that statement… So maybe, Sam was right in working with Ruby? No, that can't be right at all!
"Dean, Sam might be book smarts…but his common sense is lacking," Cass stated and
Dean then suddenly burst out into laughter.
It was exactly the answer he wanted and Dean's stomach tightened as he tried to catch his breath and Cass actually smiled from the sight of Dean like this. It's been awhile since Dean actually seemed happy.
Cass listened to the sweet melody of Dean's laughter and his emotions started to grow slightly stronger.
Tears started to line Dean's eye lids as the laughter grew.
"Cass, I love you!" Dean laughed more. Not knowing what statement he actually said but when he realized what he did say his laughter stopped.
Castiel didn't have an answer to that statement. In fact he barely heard it. His main goal was to make sure Dean was alright with Sam.
"He just wanted to be the hero for once, Dean."
Dean's lips moved into a small blank frown and his good mood melted like ice as he started to glare at Cass.
"He doesn't have to be Cass and he never had to be! Dad wanted me to take care of him. Dad wanted me to be the strong one. Dad LET Sam go to college. Heck, if I even tried doing that he would have had my ass on a pie knife and Sam needs to accept that!"
Dean paused to see if Cass was going to answer and when he didn't Dean added, "You chose me to stop Lucifer. Not Sam."
"Sam still has his part to play in this."
"Not Anymore," Dean snapped back, "From what you dicks have told me he already played his part."
Castiel had to look away from Dean's close and glaring expression. He hated it when Dean was angry with him. I shouldn't have said anything… He thought to himself.
Dean sighed, "Can we just, not talk about Sam for once?" Dean pleaded and the calmness in his voice made Cass feel better and he conjured up the courage to look back at the beautiful face that was Dean Winchester once again.
As Castile stared into Dean's emerald eyes he could see right into his soul and could tell how emotionally hurt he was.
"Heck Cass, I don't even know if Sam will still be in the motel room when I get back." Dean almost choked on the words and he blinked multiple times to keep dreaded tears at bay.
"I'm sorry," Cass pleaded, "I should have never mentioned it."
"whatever…" Dean looked away. He desperately wanted to change the subject.
A Cold wind then blew that made a shiver shudder up Dean's spine and Castiel noticed the goose-bumps that formed on Dean's arms as he rubbed them to get a little warmer.
"I told you, you should have worn a jacket."
Dean nodded, now agreeing with the Angel as he shivered once more.
"Here." Castiel shrugged his trench coat off and draped it over Dean's shoulders.
"Thanks Cass." Dean smiled, "But aren't you going to need it?"
"I don't need it as bad as you do," Castiel answered and Dean clutched the jacket a little tighter. It was warm and it felt safe. The sweet aroma that lifted from the jacket smelled like honey. Dean smiled; It feels as if he's holding me…
"It must be hard without your security blanket." Dean joked with a laugh but Castiel didn't answer. He didn't quite get it.
"What?"
"Uh, never mind." Dean laughed and his laughter made Cass smile again.
The rain started to get heavier and what filtered through the branches of the tree, the water felt like a piercing icicles on Dean's face. As the noise from the rain got louder, Castiel looked up among the twist of the green leaves.
"We should get out of the rain," Cass finally acknowledged. Dean did want to go back to the impala. But he wanted to play around with Cass for a bit.
He smiled, "Naw. It'll lighted up," he said with an amusing smirk.
Castiel studied Dean for a moment. It felt like his mind was going to explode. Why doesn't he ever listen?
Dean grinned more at Castiel's confused facial expressions.
"I think I've come to a conclusion on why I like you so much Dean."
"Oh Really?" Dean's grinned that amused smirk.
"You don't take…shit from anyone," Castiel said and it amused Dean even more when Castiel tried to swear.
They both shared soulful glances.
"Dean…"
"Yeah?" Dean shivered, God I need more heat!
"Did you… really mean that?"
"Mean what, Cass?"
"That you loved me."
Dean smiled sweetly, "Cass, I wouldn't be in your jacket if I didn't."
Dean then closed the small gap between them so they were just millimeters away from each other and he could feel the heat coming off from Cass's body.
Dean slowly leaned forward and Cass didn't budge. He kept his place as Dean's lips softly intertwined with his.
Castiel's new human instinct kicked in and his eye lids slowly closed. Without moving away, Dean lifted the Coat and wrapped it around Cass as well as himself, pulling him close to his own body. The warmth filled the inside of the coat as their bodies aligned.
Dean's heart started to beat rapidly as Cass started to finally kiss him back.
"Dean…" Castiel whispered.
"Hmm?" Dean groaned.
"I love you too," Cass answered.
Dean grinned and grabbed Castiel's blue tie, holding him against himself as they kissed under the dripping umbrellas above.
"No wonder why you keep this jacket on all the time," Dean said in-between a kiss, "It truly feels like a security blanket, its warm…and safe."
"You can be in it anytime you want," Cass answered and Dean chuckled. He knew Cass didn't know how dirty that remark was.
"I don't need it Cass, wanna know why?"
"Why?"
"Because you're my security blanket," Dean said with a kiss on Cass's jaw, "I always feel safer when you're around."
Castiel smiled. It was small, but a smile none the less and the rain had suddenly stopped.
"See?" Dean laughed, "Told you it would stop."
"We should go back anyway," Cass remarked,
"Yeah, lets go," Dean shrugged out of the jacket, handed it to Cass and started walking back to the impala with the angel following close behind him.
Unknowingly to Castiel, they were leaving behind a tree that carved in it, Were the initials, "Cass & Dean."
