Dean and Cas walked up the long hallway until they came to the staircase. Cas just needed to sit down and breathe. Dean did the same.

'Have you been making out okay?' Cas asked.

Dean nodded. Cas could tell he was lying because of his lack of eye contact.

'Really?'

Dean's brilliant green eyes met Cas's.

'I've been having nightmares. Every time I fall asleep Cas.'

Cas put his arm around Dean.

'It's okay Dean. It's okay now. I've got you.'

The door leading to the stair case opened and three guards surrounded Cas and Dean.

'Dean!' Cas didn't want it to all happen again. He didn't want to see them give Dean a sedative again.

'Let go of me!' Dean cried out. They took out the syringe and gave him the poison.

'Dean- no!' They took him away from Dean. He stopped struggling. There was nothing Cas could do but let the guards take him.

Mr. Luca's office door flew open and a guard dragged Castiel in.

'Dr. Novak.'

Cas was pushed into the chair at his desk and the guard left.

'You know why I am here Mr. Luca.'

'You're making a fool of yourself Castiel.'

Cas was furious. He wanted to throw him against the wall. The only way he could compromise with him though was to treat him with respect.

'I just wanted to negotiate.'

'Negotiate? Cas we've been through this.'

Mr. Luca went to the window where his rectangular fish tank was. They all crowded to the corner he was facing. He took out a small container of fish food from his pocket. He screwed off the yellow lid and tapped it on the edge of tank. Orange and red flakes fell into the water and his ten goldfish swam to the surface to consume it.

'Mr. Luca. Please. I'm going to try to not be angry with you. I just want you to understand. Dean and I-'

'-Share a profound bond I know I know.' He went back to his desk and sat down in his leather chair.

'He hasn't been doing well without me here, has he?'

'I prefer the name Nick.'

'Nick, Dean was happier with me. And what you're putting him through now isn't going to give that feeling back to him. I just want you to consider the fact that when I was around, Dean was improving. And trust me, I know. Please. How do you know that Zachary is better for him? I stopped him today just in time before he punched Dean! I just want what you want- Dean cured. But right now-' Cas sighed.

'I understand.'

Nick opened a draw in his desk and took out a manila folder. Inside were Dean's reports. He read over the reports Cas had written, then the reports Zachary had written.

Bobby found Nicholas Luca's office and knocked on the door. The receptionist had given him the directions there. If Cas had been taken away, he was likely to be in the chairman's office. The door opened and a tall man with slicked back blonde hair and wearing a well-tailored suit greeted him.

'You must be Dean's guardian.'

'Yes I am. Cas and I are here for one reason Mister, so you better-'

'Yes. I know. Have a seat.'

Bobby's expression changed from angry to surprised.

'Please Mr. Singer.'

Bobby did so and raised his eyebrows as he looked over to Cas.

'Obviously you are here to make, a deal, so Cas can treat him again.'

'That's right! And as Dean's guardian I know that this is what he needs.'

Cas began to talk.

'I know you may have something against him loving me and me loving him, but that's what Dean needs. That's what he needs to get him through it all.'

Nick nodded and closed the manila folder of the reports. He took a breath in and paused, then pressed a button on his office phone.

'Mr. Alistair?'

'Yes Mr. Luca?'

'Could you come up here please?'

When Mr. Alistair finally arrived, Mr. Luca left his office to talk outside with him.

'Do you think they're considering it?' Castiel asked as he looked over at the door.

'I hope so. I really do.' Bobby couldn't bear the thought of Dean being in pain everyday. He had prayed it would get better for him. And when he met him on visiting day, he was proud to see Dean so happy. But after seeing him behind those bars, he was willing to do anything to get him out of there.

The two entered the room again and Mr. Luca sat down at his desk again whilst Mr. Alistair stood in the corner of the room.

'We have discussed the situation and have decided to employ you as his doctor again. And, we will move him back to his old room.'

Cas looked up. He no longer looked sullen.

'If Dean improves, you will continue to work here. If he ceases to improve, you will leave the centre.'

Cas and Bobby suppressed their smiles.

'And let me make things clear. You are not to stay in Dean's room unless he can't leave it.'

Cas nodded. Mr. Luca dialled a number on his phone.

'Yes?'

'Move Dean Winchester to his room in Building A.'

'Yes Sir.'

Bobby and Cas shared a look to each other.

'You may leave now. Dr. Novak, you are free to visit Dean.'

'Thank you Mr. Luca.'

They quickly left the room. Cas went to the Impala with Bobby, and Gabriel was still sitting in the back seat of the car sleeping.

'Bobby- you really saved me in there. Thank you.'

'No Cas. Thank you.' Bobby looked over to the building. 'Dean's going to enjoy the rest of his time here.'

Cas nodded and smiled. Bobby took his hand and pulled him in for a hug. He patted Cas's back.

'Hey Gabriel!' He shouted, pulling away. Gabriel's eyes fluttered open and he yawned.

'Come on Gabe.' Cas opened the door.

'What happened?'

'We saved Dean.'

'You did?'

'Yep.'

Bobby started up the Impala and rolled the window down.

'See ya' Cas. Say hi to Dean for me.'

'Bye Bobby. I hope I see you again.'

The car drove away. Cas turned to Gabriel, whose long hair was now scruffy after being rubbed against the leather seat.

'I should go too, little bro.'

'Thanks for everything Gabe.'

'You don't have to thank me. I'm here for you.' He hugged Cas, something he rarely did. 'Get in there!'

He walked up the street and waved to Castiel. Cas waved back.


Dean's head felt less fuzzy and his arms became lighter. He lifted up his hands but soft cotton stopped them. His head was on his pillow. He was in his old room. The door opened, and in walked someone with a long brown, creased, trench coat. His eyes focused and he smiled.

'Cas.'

'Hello Dean.'

'How, why am I-'

'I talked with Mr. Luca. I'm going to be your doctor again.'

'Are you serious?' Dean grinned and put his two feet out of bed.

'Yes. I am being serious.' Dean pulled Cas forward by his sleeve and they hugged each other tightly.

'Thank you Cas. Thank you.' Dean kissed him on the cheek and Cas rested his head on Dean's shoulder.

'I love you Dean.' Cas pulled away from Dean and grasped his arms. 'I really do.'

Dean nodded.

'I love you too Cas. I want to be with you forever.'

They shared a long, romantic kiss then put their arms around each other. They were together again.


-3 Months Later-

Cas was having a nasty trick being played on him.

'Dean..' He muttered.

Cas slowly opened the door and peered out to see if anyone was there. A cold draft blew towards him and he shivered. After all, he didn't have any clothes on. The only clothes he had were taken by Dean when he went to breakfast. He held the pillow over his front, took a deep breath in and stepped out into the hallway. Cas went across the wall and tried to hide his back.

'Dr. Novak?

His heart skipped a beat. He looked up. Mr. Alistair.

'Mr. Alistair. I- I accidentally spilt water on my clothing.'

Mr. Alistair frowned and opened his mouth.

'It went everywhere. Everywhere!'

'Did you need a change of clothes?'

Cas looked down at the pillow he held over his crotch.

'I think that would satisfy me.' He nodded.

After Cas dressed himself into plain black pants and a white t-shirt, he went into the bathroom to find Dean.

'Dean!?'

Dean had formed his hair into a mohawk.

'Uh- Cas?'

Cas went to the cubicle Dean's voice came from and knocked on the door.

'Room service!'

Dean opened the door.

'Dean.' Cas didn't look happy. 'Explain please.'

Dean smiled and his dimples showed.

'Get in here!' He pulled Cas towards himself.

Cas sat on the end of Dean's bed, watching him dry his hair with the soft white towel.

'I have some news for you Dean.'

Dean raised his eyebrows.

'You do?'

Cas smiled and nodded his head. Dean frowned and sat next to Cas, then wrapped his muscular arm around him.

'And it is?'

'Your reports from the last few months were looked over.'

'And?'

'You're leaving here tomorrow.'

'What?'

'You're leaving.'

Dean quietly gasped and turned Cas around to face him.

'You're serious?'

'I'm serious Dean.'

Dean smiled and pulled Cas towards him. Cas smiled.

'I'm leaving!' He kissed Cas.

'Are you going to keep working here?'

'Hmm.' Cas considered the question. 'If it means being with you.'

Dean grinned and hugged Cas. He was so happy for Dean. Over the last three months, Dean had shown less signs of anger problems and had began to control himself in upsetting situations. He had developed his sense of trust for people, and was in general happier. And, he had been in a relationship for more than two months.

'But I never asked you Dean-'

Dean put his face close to Cas's.

'Yes?' He said in a low voice.

'Do you want to move into my apartment with me?'

Dean kissed him again.

'Yes.'

Cas nuzzled Dean's nose with his.


Dean hadn't seen the outside of the brick building for a very long time. He had always wondered how it looked from the outside. That idea made him more anxious when he was still in there. He didn't know when he would see the outside again. But there he was, standing next to Cas, just looking at the windows and the iron bars. It made him shiver. But strangely, he felt safer outside than he did inside. Cas opened his car door and handed Dean the keys.

'Have you forgotten how to drive one?'

Dean chuckled.

'Never.'

Dean stepped into the car and started the engine. Cas watched him and smiled. Dean turned to him.

'What?'

'Nothing.'

Like a reflex action, Dean pressed play. Loud Led Zeppelin played.

'I put something in there for you.'

Dean's mouth opened as his smiled.

'No!'

'I thought it would be nice to listen to on the way there.'

'You're too perfect to be my boyfriend.'


They parked outside Bobby's house and went to his door.

'You knock.' Dean said.

'No you do it.'

Dean groaned and quickly knocked on the door. No one came. Cas turned the door knob and it opened.

'Hmm.'

They went inside and looked up the hallway.

'Bobby?'

'Maybe he's in the yard.'

They turned into the living room.

'SURPRISE!'

Black Mountain began to play. Standing in the living room smiling and clapping was Bobby, Adam, Gabriel, and Rufus. On a table was a large apple pie, a pile of cheeseburgers, and several bottles of opened beer.

'Oh my-!'

Cas began to clap for him. Bobby went towards Dean, put his arms around him and hugged him tightly.

'Bobby.'

'Hi Dean.'

'It's been so long.'

Rufus shook Dean's hand.

'How are you Dean?'

'I'm-' He smiled. 'I'm great.'

Dean looked at Adam and held his arms out.

'Come here!'

Adam gave him a hug and they patted each other's back.

'I'm glad you're happy Dean. It's so good to see you again.'

He pulled away.

'I haven't seen you since visiting day.'

'I know. Sorry it's been that long.'

'It's okay. I'm just so happy you wanted to welcome me back.'

'I love you Dean. You're my brother. It's what family do.'

Dean smiled and nodded.

'Hi Dean.'

Everyone's eyes shifted to the living room entrance. Dean knew whose voice it was. He turned.

'Sammy! I-' He breathed slowly, then put his hand out. Sam shook it with his then hugged Dean.

'I didn't think you would ever come back Dean.'

'I know Sam. I'm sorry.'

'You went through so much Dean!' He began to cry. So did Dean. He smiled.

'Don't do this Sammy you're making my eyes watery.'

Sam laughed and sniffed.

'I'm so happy you're here Sam.'

'I had to come. I had to.'

'You know I'm sorry Sam. You know right?'

'I know. I know.'

Dean had such an amazing day back at Sioux Falls. Cas finally met Sam and Adam. Dean finally met Gabriel. And despite his fears that they wouldn't like Cas, they loved him. And Bobby was so happy for Dean. Nothing made him happier than to see Dean smiling and enjoying himself. Something told him he was going to have a long and happy life with Cas.


Cas lightly tapped Dean's nose. He stirred in the bed and opened his eyes.

'Where am I?' He quietly asked.

'You're at Bobby's.'

'I am?'

Castiel put his head under the sheets.

'What are you doing?' Dean asked. He felt his underwear being pulled off.

'Oh.'

Cas touched the sides of Dean's legs lightly.

'Oh that's nice.'

He put his mouth over Dean's dick and began sucking him. He slowly moved his head back and forth. Dean had trouble speaking.

'Cas...' He moaned quietly. 'Cas!'

Cas swallowed the cum then moved back up to Dean's side.

'That was-'

'Amazing?'

Dean laughed.

'Cas I-' He sighed.

'What?'

'I never thanked you.'

'For what?'

'For helping me.' Dean took Cas's hand and kissed it. 'Thank you Cas. I really mean it.'

'Dean, I was just doing my job.'

'You did so much more than that. You took me out of hell Cas. You gripped me tight and raised me. Thankyou.'

Cas kissed Dean.


After buttered toast, leftover pie and coffee, Bobby took Dean and Cas out to the garage. Parked there was the Impala, reflecting the sunlight off the glass.

'My baby!' Dean ran his hand along the hood and patted the door. 'It looks like you've kept her clean.'

Bobby shrugged.

'Thought it would make you happy.'

Dean opened the door and stepped into it. The leather seat was exactly the same. He grasped the wheel and examined the tiny lines on it. Now, he was home. Cas and Bobby watched as he touched almost every part of the inside. Finally, it was time to leave. They said goodbye to Adam and Sam.

'I hope we can see you again some time Dean.' Sam said. 'I'll try and come up to Lawrence.'

'Thanks Sam. I'd appreciate that.'

Dean hugged Bobby one last time.

'Stay out of trouble boy.'

Dean laughed. Bobby took Cas's hand.

'You take care of him you hear me?'

'Trust me, I will Bobby.'

They sat in the front seats of the car, looking out at the driveway to the road back.

'Are you okay?' Cas asked.

'Yeah. I'm fine.'

'I can't wait to take you to my apartment.'

'I can't wait to go to that restaurant you like.'

Cas held Dean's hand. He was ready to go home with him. This time, he wouldn't be lonely. He would have someone in that apartment. Someone other than Gabriel. Feeling the warmness of Dean's palm made him realise that he was who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He couldn't wait to start living life with him. He couldn't wait to wake up to Dean's breathing. He couldn't wait to see those large green eyes everyday. He couldn't wait to just, be loved by Dean.

As he sat there in the driver's seat, Dean thought about the past two years and everything that had happened. He remembered all those emotions he felt in the institution. Cas bringing him pie everyday. Zachary almost punching him and Cas saving the day. Dean loved Cas more than anyone he had ever met.

Dean turned up the music and started the engine. A small smirk appeared on his face. He had his old life back. It was better this time though. This time he was in love. And Cas- Cas felt exactly the same way.

'Let's go.'

Thanks to everyone for following and reading the story!

In the future I'll write more fics.
