Chapter 4

Sam stood there for a few seconds starring at the back of Castiel's head as he sighed. Cas slowly turned around. When his blue eyes met Sam's his face contorted into confusion. Cas slowly stood from his chair and tilted his head slightly out of confusion.

"Wha- what are you doing here Sam?" Cas said in a voice that betrayed his efforts to sound calm. Cas shifted slightly, disturbed by the presence of Sam in his room. Sure Sam had been there before, but that was with Dean. He was only there when Cas figured Dean made him.

Sam stood by the door with a small smirk placed on his face. " What's wrong Cas? Aren't you happy to see me?", Sam's voice mocking. He slowly approached Castiel, the air thick with tension.

Castiel was nervous to say the least. He knew that Sam never cared for him but he never had Sam approach him on the matter. Cas didn't like to admit it but Sam intimidated him. Sam was after all much taller and was obviously stronger than him.

The only thing Cas could think was that he wished that he told Ellen about the tension between him and Sam. He knew that Sam knew how Cas felt about Dean.

Cas had known for a long time, but he also knew that Dean was not interested in him in the same way. So why did Sam hate him so? Cas could not fathom the reason. All he knew was that Sam was in front of him now and he was sure he would not enjoy this get together. Cas inhaled as Sam intensified his glare.

Sam's patience was wearing thin as he saw Castiel fidget. "We need to discuss this sick obsession you have with my brother…" Sam said in a tone that expressed no emotion. This statement caught Cas off guard.

"W-what?" he stepped back till his back hit the wall behind him. Sam closed the space between them. He leaned his head in and spoke into Castiel's ear. His warm breath turned Cas cold.

"I see the way you look at him Cas. You are a monster. Stay. Away." Sam said carefully annunciating his words.

Cas attempted to put some distance between them, but he was met with the wall. Cas lifted his head and met Sam's eyes as he gathered his courage. Cas pushed Sam back slightly allowing more room between them. Sam just smirked at him, sending chills down Cas's back. Sam reached into his pocket and pulled out Dean's phone. Sam flipped it open and stopped as he got to his name in the contacts.

"Cas don't you think that calling someone in the middle of the night is a little…obsessive…. Unhealthy even?" Sam said as he deleted the phone call from Dean's phone. Cas inhaled, intimidation that was all Sam seemed to want to accomplish.

Cas shook his head as he answered. " I was just worried… Ellen was not doing well and…" Before Cas could finish his sentence Sam cut him off, his voice held no symphony.

"Don't. Castiel. Do you think that Dean cares? Sure he puts up with your relentless yearning, but that doesn't mean that he cares. Cas Face it, you care for him far more than he ever will you." Sam said with a fake sympathetic frown plastered on his face.

Cas eyes began to betray him as he could feel water begin to form. Cas inhaled slowly to force the tears back, he would not cry in front of Sam. Thankfully for Castiel, Sam turned and headed for the door. He stopped with his hand on the doorknob and turned around, offering Castiel a warning.

"Do understand I am warning you to back off my brother. Deal with your own problems by yourself." Sam said as he stared straight into Cas's eyes. "And don't forget that you have a sibling too. Don't make me bring sweet little Jo into this. Have a nice night…" Sam's voice echoed in Castiel's head as the door shut. Cas listened to Sam's footsteps as he left his small house. Once he heard the front door shut he collapsed on his bed.

His emotions mixed. On one hand he was still shaking from Sam's implication of Dean's feelings. However, Cas was also angry. He was furious; Sam had made a threat against Jo. Castiel had to stop himself from running after him. He was generally a timid and quiet person, but he was also very protective. He would not let Sam come near Jo, even though Cas knew she could take care of herself very well.

Dean walked hastily down the side of the road that led to Castiel's house. He mumbled under his breath, as the wind seemed to blow through him. He silently cursed his brother; he had taken the impala. Sure Dean didn't mind sharing a car with his brother, but times like these really made wish he were an only child.

Just as he rounded a corner the impala came into sight. This was something that caused Dean to be filled with confusion. Sam had gone to visit Cas? It wasn't that Dean didn't like the idea of Sam being supportive towards Cas, but Dean was not blind to Sam's attitude towards Castiel.

Dean approached Cas's house with apprehension. He had an overwhelming sense of dread. He had a feeling that he was missing something. Despite that he knocked on the wooden door. Dean looked up as he heard the door open. Ellen stood before him, her appearance sickly. He knew that her time was short and that he truly could not imagine what his best friend was going through. He couldn't imagine losing his father.

He truly was worried about the once feisty mother, so he sat on the couch with her for a few minutes. She looked at him with a smile. Her spunky spirit was gone, he figured because she no longer had the energy. Now she was a shell, merely alive, not living.

Dean squeezed her hand as he stood from the couch. " Ellen you need anything?" Dean gestured to the kitchen. Ellen slowly shook her head; Dean slowly released her hand as he turned to go the Cas's room.

"Tell Sam I said thank you." Ellen said as Dean took a step forward. Dean stopped and turned to face her, his face now unsure once again. He raised his eyebrow in confusion on what to say. He was confused to say the least, unsure what had inspired his brother's visit.

"You two have been so good to him…. Thank you…." Ellen said as her voice cracked slightly. Dean offered her a smile; he nodded his head in agreement before continuing his walk to Cas's room.

Dean knocked on the door expecting to see Cas's smile when it opened, but the Cas that stood before him was different. Cas smiled at him as he entered his room, but Dean knew him well enough to be able to tell that there was another emotion driving the smile. Cas wasn't telling him something.

"A-are you okay Cas?" Dean questioned as he shut the door behind him. Castiel looed up at him, his face held a smile. " Y-yeah I'm fine. I'm just tired that's all…" Cas said he walked up to Dean. Dean wanted to let this nagging feeling go, he wanted to comfort Cas, and he wanted to trust what he said to be true.

"Cas…" Dean said as Castiel stood at his side. His blue eye bore into him, almost as if he would never see him again, as if their time was borrowed.

"Hm?" Castiel said as he pulled Dean by the arm to the bed and made him sit down. Dean saw Castiel sit next to him. He almost laughed at how close the two were. They were so comfortable, so natural that it sometimes made him wonder. Dean smiled as Castiel sat beside him.

"Did you call last night?" Dean questioned he turned his head to look at Castiel. His eye's widen as Cas looked down at the floor.

"Last night? No I didn't why?" Castiel said. His face still focused on the floor. Dean brought his arm around Cas's shoulder and offered a reassuring squeeze. He then let his arm fall back to his side.

A small smile crossed his lips, "No reason… I just thought you might have…" Dean said as Cas finally met his gaze once again. His eyes were now smiling at Dean.

"So I heard Sam was here… how that go?" Dean asked. Cas's body tensed as he looked at Dean, his face blank. Castiel inhaled he wished that Dean wouldn't have mentioned Sam, he didn't want to lie to Dean and he didn't want to cave to Sam. Despite this Cas felt that he couldn't come between the brothers. He was sure that if he told Dean what Sam had wanted that Dean would be furious. So instead of the truth, Cas lied.

"It was okay…He was just worried about Ellen and was checking up…. that's all." Dean nodded his head in acknowledgment. He starred at Cas his features tired.

Enough of the questioning, Dean thought as he glanced at the television. "Wanna watch a movie or something?" Dean laid back against the bed's headboard. Cas nodded his head, "sure."

After the movie had started Cas settled on the bed besides Dean. For the next hour and a half he could forget that his family was falling apart. He could forget about Sam and he could be with Dean, even if it was just as friends, he knew that Dean cared and that was enough.

Present

Castiel was almost to the university when he heard footsteps behind him. He glanced behind him and saw no one, just the dark road, empty of any inhabitants. Cas sighed; he must be hearing things he thought as he continued to walk forward.

Dean stood behind the wall of the closest building, his heart pounding. He had been on his way to Cas's house to talk him, to apologize for the distance between them. However, when he saw Cas leave his apartment he had lost his nerve. He had followed him and now he was hiding.

God he hated himself sometimes. He was never this afraid; Cas did that to him. He made him nervous, he was afraid that if he messed up again that he would lose Cas for good. Yet he was also worried about what Sam had done.

He saw Cas start to walk and he made up his mind. He couldn't run forever. He needed to fix this; the distance was slowly tearing away at the bond that was so profound to him. Dean stepped out from the side of the building as he called out to stop Castiel from leaving him behind.

"Cas…wait." Dean's voice was shaky as he saw Cas stop dead in his tracks. He slowly turned to face Dean. Castiel's blue eye shown with the pain he knew would never truly leave. He approached Cas, his arm outstretched to lay on Cas's shoulder. Castiel slowly pulled away from Dean's touch, not ready to be so close. He missed Dean, but it still hurt to be so close.

Dean looked down at the ground, his voice meek," Listen Cas we need to talk."
