The next morning Dean's muscle's felt like there were in a vice grip, and his head was pounding. He was fairly certain that his night didn't end in a bar, and he was a 100% sure that the person in his arms isn't a tall blonde with a nice ass. Instead it was someone he's been missing for what felt like forever. His eyes slowly opened as he peaked down at the angel who was still surprisingly fast asleep. Telling by the time, they slept half the day away, and was shocked that an angel could sleep this long.

Not wanting to wake him up, Dean slowly moved his arm and slipped out of the bed and headed towards the shower. Before he reached the bathroom door he looked at Sam who was now curled up on his side with his arm extended. He titled his head as his arm was completely stretched out as if there was someone beside him. Dean pushed the bed slightly to make sure there wasn't anyone there, but quickly moved his hand when he heard Sam mumble something under his breath about sleeping a little longer.

"Just a few more hours." Dean looked at the clock and then back at Sam almost wanting to say something else but he decided against it. As he headed towards the bathroom Lucifer was wide awake and watched him walk away. "I think your brother just fondled me." He said as he heard the shower turning on.

"Considering he can't see you I sincerely doubt that" Sam said seriously as he felt himself waking up against his will. As Sam opened his eyes he realized his arm was now snuggly wrapped around Lucifer's waist. Sam jumped and almost fell off the bed when he realized he fell asleep cuddling with the devil himself.

"You okay in there?" Sam looked towards the door and overheard Dean asking him something. He sat there for a few minutes trying to piece together the night before and yelled back that he was fine.

"You know lying will only give you a lifetime pass with me? Or at least that's what my father says." Lucifer said folding his arms, and smiling at Sam who was standing up.

"I think I'm stuck with you anyway. What's more time going to hurt" He snapped back before he grabbed his things and waited for Dean to get out of the shower. He stopped in his tracks as a pounding headache came crashing down on him, and brought him slamming down to his knees.

"Oh I forgot to tell you my new trick. I learned it a few years back, so it isn't exactly new per se but to you it is, which makes it all the more fun" He said still lying on the bed with his hands folded behind his head.

"Bastard" Sam mumbled as he pushed himself off the ground to only to come crashing down again.

"eheh eh. Not until you apologize. I mean really, I let you cuddle with me all night, and all I get is you being nasty to me ever since you woke up. How do you think this makes me feel?" Lucifer said sitting up now and peaking over the bed towards Sam.

"I will never apologize." He growled as he fought back and pushed himself back up. It was like pushing a hundred pounds off of him but his minds wasn't completely broken yet so he still had a good bit of fight left in him.

Lucifer opened his mouth to say something else until the bathroom door swung open. "I think out of all the motels we've been in, this place have the best water pressure." Dean said walking into the room with just a towel wrapped around him. At first he didn't notice Sam, who was now pale and sweating, until he reached his suit case.

Dean stopped his tracks as he knew the last time he saw his brother this way a certain Devil was in the room. He turned slowly to his brother before walking up to him slowly. "Sammy? You okay?" He asked hearing his own voice go deeper almost scared him, but his brother looking as if he was ghost was even more terrifying.

His brother slowly turned around and Dean's heart dropped, but his face only harden even more. "You are starting to look like that senator palapin guy after he was zapped."

Sam couldn't help but to roll his eyes as moved slowly towards the door. "It's Palpatine and I'm fine." He said before slamming the bathroom door behind him. He allowed himself to let go as he collapsed against the door and fell to the floor. He reached and locked the door to make sure Dean didn't come barging in, and sat there enjoying the steam from Dean's shower that was still hanging in the air.

"You sure you okay?" Sam slammed his eyes shut as he heard Lucifer's voice wishing he would just go away.

"I thought you were going to leave me alone?" Sam growled back wishing he would just leave him alone. He just wanted one day to be sane but he knew that day wasn't coming any time soon.

"First of all, that will never happen. Second of all, we had a deal, and everyone knows to never, ever make a deal with the devil." He said laughing before turning really seriously, and in second he reappeared now inches away from his ear, "Because no one breaks a deal with me and lives to tell the tale."

The next thing Sam knew Lucifer was gone. He tossed and turned trying to find him but he was nowhere. He wasn't sure if he got a quick break or maybe he finally pissed him off enough to get him to go away. He was sure in a few minutes he'd be back so Sam quickly jumped in the shower and enjoyed the few seconds he had a lone to his own thoughts.

Outside the door Cas held his hand to the door before collapsing himself to the ground. Fortunately Dean caught him before he could hurt himself, and was thankful Castiel woke up in time. Little did Sam know Castiel was completely awake during his little conversation last night with Lucifer, and even this morning. The angel was a bit scared to open his eyes and he didn't want to be rude and interrupt either. So the minute Sam was away Castiel explained everything he saw and heard to Dean. Dean quickly helped Castiel from the bed and led him to the door as he drew the sigil to send the Devil back to hell. It only lasted for a few days but that was all Dean needed to figure out a more permanent solution.

He quickly carried the angel Sam's bed and sat him down. "I forgot how difficult that is." He whispered softly as he Dean rubbed the angel's back gently.

"Yeah, well you know I'm thankful for it." He said seriously as he knew Cas has dealt with more than his fair share of misery for the brothers.

"I am you and your brother's guardian angels. After all it is my job" He said trying to give Dean a really smile.

"Yeah I know but that doesn't mean I don't have to thank you every time you help us." He let Cas fall back in the bed and relax as Dean finished getting dressed. As he pulled his shirt on his brother walked in with nothing but a towel wrapped around him, and he looked a little better than what he did going into the bathroom.

"Hey." He whispered as he walked towards his own suitcase, and he knew both men were staring him down. He secretly wished they wouldn't say anything to him, but he knew better than that. He pulled on a pair of pants and turned to see both of them looking at him, waiting for any answer.

"I didn't want you to worry you guys." Sam finally whispered.

"How many times do we have to go through this Sam? How many times do I have to tell you that you're not alone on this, and to stop hiding this from me?" Dean's voice was beginning to get louder, and he was almost face to face with his brother. Sam at times got scared when got like this, and he knew his brother was pissed when Castiel jumped up and held his arm out in front of Dean.

"Dean, give him a chance to explain." Castiel spoke and Dean almost said something else but he knew better than going against an angel, even if he's weak. Finally Dean took a deep breath and sat down the bed and waited for Sam to speak. Sam quickly pulled on a shirt before sitting on the bed beside him as Castiel sat down on one of the spare chairs in the room.

"I don't' know what happened. I was fine until yesterday and all of a sudden he was back. I mean I heard him every once in a while but all of a sudden he was here full force yesterday. I don't know what to do." He said seriously as he looked down at the ground slightly.

"We have to figure out a way to get rid of him for good. Luckily Cas here bought you some time, but right now let's get out of here. We're driving straight to Bobby's and hopefully he'll be able to help us out." Dean quickly got up and already started packing all of their things knowing Sam was too weak to do much at the moment, and Castiel was pretty much comatose.

"I'm sorry Cas" Sam whispered as he watched the Angel shrug his shoulders and playing with his hands. Sam couldn't help but to smile as he knew the angel was definitely still awkward as always.

"Do you think Cas can take the long ride?" Sam finally asked as he threw everything into his suitcase and set it by the door.

Dean was checking all the rooms and made sure they didn't forget a single thing before heading towards the door. "I'm sure he'll be alright. He has the whole back seat to lie on if he gets tired. I got cas. You grab everything else."

As an obedient brother Sam did what he was told and grabbed both suitcases and their hunting bags and shoved them into the trunk. Dean was practically dragging Cas out of the room as the angel's legs weren't in complete working order just yet. Gently he laid Castiel down in the back seat before getting into the car himself. Once inside the powerful roar of the engine could be heard, and soon there were off onto the main highway. Their trip was cutting it close to the time they allowed Sam to be without Lucifer but Dean knew he couldn't do this on his own.

Suddenly the sound of Master of Puppets could be heard blaring from the speaker's as both Castiel and Sam were fast asleep. Granted everything was going to be difficult from here on out, but he had to admit that he was happy to have his family back. For the first time in months he was genuinely happy.
