This follows immediately after the last chapter fyi

"Dean, as much as I would love to continue kissing you until forever stopped, you have to go back home to Sam and relieve the baby sitter."

Dean opened his eyes slowly and rested his head on Castiel's shoulder. "I don't want to leave. I'm worried about Sam and want to go home to check on him, but there's a larger part that doesn't want to be parted from your arms. Was that totally lame of me to say?"

Castiel laughed, the sound of it vibrating through Dean's chest. "No, I know what you mean. My little brother is at home too, but I'm not too worried because my eldest brother is watching him."

"How many brothers do you have?"

"Three. Lucifer, Micheal, and Gabriel."

Dean picked his head up from Castiel's shoulder. "Did you say Gabriel? That's funny, Sam said that he made a friend at school named Gabriel."

"Maybe it's the same person?"

Dean smiled and stood on his tippy toes. "I hope so, so I can see you more."

"My, Dean Winchester, are you telling me you only like me for my little brother?"

"Maybe."

Castiel gave a playful growl and nuzzled Dean's neck with his nose, making Dean giggle. "I'm gonna have to punish you now."

"I'm ready for my punishment."

Castiel gently bit Dean's neck, making Dean give a small squeal of laughter, his smile bright on his face.

"Okay, okay, I really have to get home now, I told the babysitter I'd be home by ten." Castiel pulled away from Dean's neck and gave an adorable pout. "Okay, if you're sure."

"Can I take you home?"

"I'd love for you too."

X.x.x

Dean shut the door behind Micheal and sighed quietly, leaning his weight against the door, his forehead resting on the cool wood. It had been the most amazing night Dean had had in a really long, but a part of him felt guilty; mostly for leaving Sam by himself with a stranger, but there was another thing.

A smaller thing.

Dean pushed himself off the door and walked down to Sam's room, pushing open the door gently and walking inside quietly, as to not disturb the sleeping child. He walked over to Sam and tilted his head slightly as he looked at his younger brother, his breaths coming in deep and slow, his face illuminated by the light from the hallway. A small smile creot onto Dean's face as he brushed his fingers across Sam's forehead, moving the shaggy hair behind Sam's tiny ear. A sense of reassurance overcame Dean once he was able to make sure that Sam was okay; it made the guilt subside slightly.

"Dean?"

Sam asked groggily, opening his eyes slowly as they scrunched against the light splayed on his face. Dean shushed him quietly as Sam rubbed his eyes with his tiny fists. "Shh, it's okay buddy. I was just checking on you, sorry for waking you."

"It's okay."

"I'm gonna go to bed okay? You should go back to sleep."

"Will you sleep with me? I missed you."

Dean smiled and tucked Sam's hair behind his ear again. "Okay buddy, I'll sleep with you." Dean slowly lifted the blanket up as Sam moved over, and soon Dean was underneath the covers in the cramped bed, Sam resting his head against Dean's chest; Dean didn't know why, but he knew that Sam found comfort in his heartbeat.

"Good night Sammy."

"Good night Dean."

Dean tucked an arm underneath his head as he felt Sam snuggle close to his body and he slowly closed his eyes, hoping to catch a bit of sleep as the night he spent with Castiel replayed in his mind.

"Dean, can I have a friend come over and play?"

Dean looked up from his coffee and smiled; Sam hadn't been able to shut up about this boy in his class, and Dean knew it was only a matter of time before Sam would ask him if he could have a play date.

"That sounds like a great idea Sammy, why don't we have a play date here in Friday? You can wait until then right?"

Sam grinned brightly and started to nod furiously, practically bouncing in his seat from excitement. "Thank you Dean!" Dean smiled, happy that he could make his little brother happy with just one word; though, it was always hard for Dean to say no to Sam; Dean spoiled his little brother like crazy, and as Sam grew older, he started to realize it more and more.

"I have one rule, your friend has to have an accompaniment who will stay with me while he's here. Deal?"

"Deal!"
