Chapter 4

Dean woke up the next day with Cas curled next to him, head lying atop his shoulder. He couldn't stop a huge smile from spreading across his face, and he placed a kiss on the top of Cas' head. Cas began to stir at this, and after a moment looked up at Dean's smiling face.

"Mornin', Cas."

"Good morning, Dean." Cas returned Dean's smile and craned his neck forward for a kiss, trying to pour all the love he felt into Dean, because he knew he would never be able to explain in words.

"I love you too, Cas." Dean whispered against his mouth, and Cas smiled the biggest smile he'd ever had during his years on Earth.

Ever since then, Cas has always ridden his bike everywhere. Even when the Sam and Dean are driving the car, Cas brings his bike along in the trunk so that, if the opportunity arises, he'll be able to use it.

The wind blowing through his hair and the scenery flashing by made Cas feel like he was flying again, and it also reminded him of that very first night with Dean every time he used the beat-up bicycle.
