Dean edged slightly away from Cas; he could unfortunately guess what was coming

"You two have been acting strange since we arrived in Washington, what is going on?"

Sam looked Cas straight in the eye but could not hold Sam's gaze. It was not his place to say, he was Deans brother not his. Sam's intense stare off slowly moved to Dean. Dean felt guilty he knew what he and Cas were doing wasn't wrong, but perhaps lying to Sam about it was. Dean didn't know were to start, though he did manage to open his mouth as if he was about to speak and look at Sam to Cas back to Sam again, before a goofy smile appeared on his face as he shrugged with stiff shoulders. He could think of anything to say that would make this situation go away. Sam was getting frustrated he turned to Cas; angels couldn't lye or at least were very shit at it.

"Cas, are you banging my brother?"

Cas turned pink and became uncomfortable Dean reached boiling point

"Sam!"

Dean shouted as the anger pent up inside. What Sam said was tactless and disrespectful and he turned what Cas and he shared into some kind of joke. Dean lightly touched Cas' arm and softly gestured for him to attend to brewer who was in some pain. Cas did so without question, this was an argument between them and Dean knew that Cas did not what to be in the middle of it, whether it concerned him or not.

"What is wrong with you Sam?"

"It was just a question you're the one over reacting"

Sam spoke frustratingly calmly

"Bullshit and you know it"

"Well I'm right aren't I? You're screwing the angel!"

"Do you even know how childish you sound?"

After a brief pause where Sam and Dean exchanged looks. Both as pissed off as the other

"Do you want to know do you really want to know?"

Sam was smirking half not believing it and half mocking, he was mumbling something or other. Over the top of his Dean shouted something neither he nor Sam ever expected him to say

"I love him!"

Sam was immediately silent and a stunned Cas looked up from James, looking over to Dean, with a rare crocked smile on his face, loving that Dean was standing up for them.

"What?"

Sam asked not entirely sure he heard right

"You heard me Sammy, I love him"

Cas was overwhelmed with happiness but sadden by the thought he only said it to shut Sam up or to get revenge or something. Cas went over to Dean as held both his hands. They both smiled and Dean rested his forehead onto Cas', Dean could tell Cas had doubts

"I do you know"

Cas and Dean parted as they gazed at each other, Deans stunning green eyes warming Cas from the inside.

"I love you too Dean, I don't know why or how, but I do, always"

"You had me at hello"

Dean said with a chuckle, Cas gazed confused head tilted and forehead screwed for a few seconds

"Sorry Dean I don't und…"

Unable to finish as Dean grabbed his trench coat and pulled a willing Castiel towards him and pressed their lips together making both Cas and Dean's stomach do flips. Up to this point Sam stood mouth open staring completely bewildered at the situation. When it got to the loving embrace Sam put is hands in the air as if to say 'I'm out' and turned. Learning his brother was gay, in love and seeing him snog the angel was a bit too much to deal with in the space of about 30 seconds. Sam realised that, Dean Winchester his man whoring older brother just confessed his love. Something he thought would never happen. Guy or not Dean's happy, happier then he'd been in a long time. Sam was happy that Dean was happy. This meant he was happy for them. After the kiss it was Cas that confronted Sam whose back was turned.

"Sam were sorry for lying to you"

Sam turned looking from Cas to Dean they were standing side by side, Sam sighed a heavy breath and smiled soft dimpled smile. He walked over to them and hugged them both. Dean quickly getting over the shock was beside himself he could have only hoped for this reaction from his little brother. Even Cas was relieved and hugged back, it was an awkward fidgety tap of a hug but the thought was still in it.
