Castiel hopped in the passenger seat of the Impala with the biggest smile on his face. Dean started his Baby and looked at the angle. "Thank you Castiel." Dean says while staring at the road. They were driving on one of the many country roads in Georgia, going back to the bunker to meet with Sam. Out of all the things that could be racing through Dean's mind, Cas was the only thing he could think of. It was dangerous, he could barely think of driving, let alone the road ahead. "For what Dean?" Castiel finally says after a few minutes. He was distracted by the thought of him and Dean finally being together, and if they would have a future together. "For making me finally come out of my shell. For making me realize that I am not the person I thought I was. I hate this, talking about my feelings and whatnot. So just thank you for that." Cas smiled, he knew that Dean had a hard time with feelings, and with more importantly talking about them. He couldn't believe that Dean had even said the things that he did. He was so grateful that he could say even the little things. Dean told Cas that he liked him, that he wanted him to be Dean's boyfriend, and that he made him realize who he was. That was the most important thing he could talk to Cas. He looked at Dean even though he was driving and said, "Dean, I know that it is hard for you to talk about what you feel. I know that it is unusual to feel things because your life has been so hard in the past. Dean, I am here for you, and I will listen to anything you ever have to say." Dean smiled bigger than he thought he could. Out of all the mean things that would have broken Dean down or ripped his heart in half, Cas was there for him, and he made that known. "Thank you," Dean whispered still smiling.
They arrived at the bunker the next day, "Cas, I'm not ready to tell Sammy, or anyone else for that matter, about us being together. Is that okay?" Dean was so impatient, but also so nervous that Sam would find out and make the biggest fool out of him. Castiel smiled and looked at the door to the bunker. He finally realized that Dean was just as big of a 'sap' and just as much of a human as anyone in that moment. He knew, that Dean didn't want to believe it, and that was okay. He would be able to feel it, and even express it in the future, even if it was only with Cas. "Of course Dean. I know that you are still too uncomfortable to even say it to me. It is okay that you still cannot say it to Sam or anyone else." Dean smiled and looked at Cas, "Thank you…again" Dean said chuckling as he looked Cas right in the eyes. Castiel slowly leaned forward and kissed Dean. All Dean could think about was how passionate the kiss was, and how loving. It was by far the best kiss Dean had ever had.
Dean walked into the bunker first with Cas following soon behind. "Dean. Cas. How was the hunt you guys?" Sam calls from the table, as he gets up to greet the boys. He noticed how dean had been acting a little bit weirder than usual. Dean looks up at Sam and smiles, "Sammy! The hunt was great. We chopped off a couple vamps heads, then killed a couple of changelings a few towns over. It was awesome." Sam smiled and looked at the angle Castiel who was nodding his heads along to what Dean said. Now Cas was the one that was acting weird. Cas was a usually very opinionated person after a hunt. Sam suspected that something else had happened on their hunt that Dean wasn't telling him. "Anything else happen on your hunt?" Sam asked curiously. Dean looked back at Cas and gave him the look that told him no. "Nope, just went out to eat at one of my favorite burger joints" Dean finally said after looking back at Sam. Dean might of thought that that got Sam off of his back, but Sam thought he knew what was going on.
Sam walked into Dean's room slowly not knowing what Dean was doing in his bedroom. Frankly, he didn't want to know. He looked in the room and Dean wasn't in there. He heard a familiar voice behind him, "Hey Sammy. Whatca looking for?" Sam jumped a little and turned around to find Dean holding a burger in one hand, and a beer in the other. He smirked as Dean walked passed him to get into his room. "I'm not looking for anything, just wanted to talk to you." Dean's smile slowly faded when he heard Sam. He didn't want Sam to know, not just yet anyway. Dean sat on his bed and took a long swig of beer, "Oh come on Sammy! I'm not a girl, and I ain't just gonna sit here and talk about whatever sappy thing you're wanting to talk about." Yet again hiding behind his humor, Dean smiled, but Sam knew that it was fake. He looked at Dean and knew that he didn't wanna tell his brother about whatever it was. "Just hear me out Dean. Okay?" The smile once again left Dean's face. 'I cannot tell him, not yet. I'm barley ready to tell myself. All he's gonna do is make fun of me, and beat me down for it. Just lie and smile like you always do' Dean thought to himself. Sam just wanted some simple conversation that would let him know where Dean stood. "Dean, I know you're hiding something from me. I wanted to ask you about Cas." Sam said not asking his full question. All he wanted to know was if he had told Cas his feelings. He has known for a little while about Dean liking Cas, even though he wouldn't admit it. "What do you want to ask me about Cas? I think you know a little bit more about him than I do." Dean was lying strait through his teeth, and Sam could sense it. "Please just admit it to me that you like Cas. I've seen the way you guys look at each other, and it's gotten worse over the hunt. Tell me what else happened on the hunt please. If you don't want to please just admit that you like him." Dean started to panic in his mind. This was the time that Sam was going to say goodbye, after all, that's all that he ever knew. "Sam, I don't like him, not like that anyway…" Dean mumbled with a single breath. "I know you like him like that, and I know something else happened on that trip. I hope you know that, I will always be there for you. I'm not going to leave like everyone else, like it or not you're stuck with me for life, okay big brother?" Sam said looking Dean right in the eyes. He knew that everyone had always left Dean, and no one was ever there for him. "Sam please, you know I don't like talking about stuff like this." All Dean wanted to do right know was lay down and have his newly boyfriend hold him. As freaking girly as that was that was all he wanted, and he didn't know why. "I know Dean, but I swear on my life, yours, and Cas' that I will not leave you. No matter what we are in this together, we're brothers Dean okay?" Sam said trying to reassure the broken down Dean. He was on the verge of tears, but he knew that his little brother was the only one that was always there for him, no matter what. "Sammy, I think I'm in love with him" Dean whispered with a sob. "I know Dean, I know. It's okay though. I know Cas well enough to know that he will not leave you like all of those other assholes did. What happened after or before the hunt?" He knew something was going on between the two of them, but the only thing that mattered was that they were not fighting or broken. "We came back from the vamps, and Cas was acting really weird so I asked him what was wrong. That's when he told me that he liked me, and that he had liked me for a while. I didn't know what to do so I told him I'd let him know what I thought the next day. I forgot about it until after the changelings, when he asked me again. I didn't know what had come over me, but I kissed him. Next thing you know it was morning, and I woke up with Cas in my arms. I told him that I really liked him. Long story short, we're kinda dating now…" Sam just knew it. Dean finally spit it out, and he felt so much better. A tear fell down Dean's face, as he quickly wiped it off. "Before you say anything else, this is the last time we do something like this. Got it?" Sam laughed a little before he thought about all the sappy crap he would have to witness between the couple. He looked at Dean who had took another bite of his burger. He couldn't believe the number of girls Dean had been with, to have his first real significant other, be Cas, his angle. "Yeah, Dean, I got it. I'm honestly really happy for you. You finally had the balls to tell him, I mean that's awesome. Just no sappy or sexy crap where I can hear or see you, got it?" Dean laughed genuinely for the first time in a long time. Sam could tell that he was happy. He was truly happy for possibly the first time in his life. "Yep Sammy, I definitely got it. Now get out I got to sleep sometime don't I?" Sam smirked at Dean who was now smiling with him, "Night Dean."
He was finally allowed to eat his burger in peace. Just as Dean went to take a bite his phone buzzed. Dean, can I come in your room? I know you were talking to Sam, but are you done? He laughed as he read the text and replied for Cas to get in there. Cas got up from the table and walked down to Dean's room. "What's up Cas?" Dean asked with a yawn. Cas sat down on the queen sized mattress with Dean. He could sense that Dean was tired so he wouldn't make it very long. "Nothing much I suppose. I suspect you told Sam about us?" Dean nodded his head with a sad look on his face. He told Cas not to tell Sam for a reason, but then Dean went and told him. "He took it great and he said he would always be there for me. I'm sorry I told him Cas." He gave Dean a small smile. "It is more than okay Dean, you needed to tell him, and he had already suspected it. I hope you know I will never get used to your silly technology. Dean, can I sleep with you tonight?" Dean stifled out a small chuckle. He was so lucky that he was in love, with his best friend at that. He could not admit it to himself that he loved a dude, no, an angle dude. "Of course you can. I would love that Cas." Dean leaned forward and kissed Cas. All the angle could think about was how amazing this experience was. His first kiss was with Dean, and he never knew it could be that great. Their kiss was soft and simple, just enough for Cas to be filled with the feeling of love. Dean got up and took off his jacket, so he was in a plain black t-shirt. "What are you doing?" Castiel asked with a childish look on his face. Then Dean took off his t-shirt so he was just in his jeans. "Cas, it's called getting comfortable. I can't sleep with five layers of clothes on. Take off your coat, jacket, shirt, and tie." Dean commanded, not sounding too harsh. Cas did as Dean told and took off all of his upper body clothing. "Here you can put these sweats on for now, I have two pairs, I'll buy you some later" Dean said as he put on his own. Cas put them on and took a deep breath. He was so thankful for Dean putting so much effort into teaching him the human ways. "Thank you Dean this is amazing. It is getting late though we should lay down." Dean looked at the clock, it read 1:27. He looked back at Castiel and laughed. He said, "I guess you're right. Come here then." Cas slid into Dean's arms as he turned the lights off. "Goodnight Dean" Cas whispered. Dean waited a minute before saying, "Night sweetheart." They lay with their arms and legs tangled together listening to the sound of each other's heartbeats.
