Dean was grinning at the angel "Come on Baby, I promise we can go back and do this up right. Get registered at some fancy place and score some wedding gifts. How about a toaster, we could use one of those unless you have one already Cas."

Castiel cocked his head and looked at Dean "No I don't own a toaster, I suppose we need one then, you do like toast."

Dean hugged Castiel and laughed "What am I going to do with you?"

"Anything you want husband. We can go back now if you wish" With that they were back in Bobby's kitchen.

Bobby walked in and grabbed Dean's arm, "Where the hell have you both been? I figured out a way to get Sam's soul back but I need some help." They went to the living room and discussed how to go about it and make a plan.

…..

Dean looked in the window of the panic room watching Sam sleep. "The boys exhausted, been pounding on the door and screaming for you, begging to get out, asking where you went." Bobby put his hand on Castiel's shoulder, "Let Dean handle this, I don't think he would be too happy to see you."

Castiel looked and the floor, turning the ring on his finger "I understand, I will stay out here."

"Babe, hold my ring for me while I do this, I don't want Sammy to see it and freak out." Dean handed his ring to Castiel and the angel stacked it on top of his. "I understand Dean." Castiel had a pleading look in his eye, wishing he could say what he was thinking. "What if you get his soul back and don't need me, don't love me, have I been a fool? Was Sophia right? How do I go on without you?"

….

Sam woke to find Dean sitting on the cot stroking his hair and talking in a soothing voice "Hey baby boy, you ok? Don't worry Sammy we got this, we are gonna fix you….get my brother back."

Sam bolted upright and tried to get off the cot, Dean pushed him down and tied one hand and then the other to metal legs. Sam thrust his hips in the air, twisting his torso trying to get his brother off. "Get the fuck off me Dean, I'm not broken, I don't need fixing."

Dean was sitting on his brothers legs now, securing them down. "Shhhh…you don't know whats best for you anymore, got to tie you down so you don't hurt yourself ok."

Death approached the brothers with a black satchel, set it on the table and opened it, a light was glowing out of the top, Sam's soul. Death lifted it gently and walked over to Sam. Dean backed up to the door to watch. Before putting the soul back Death turned to Dean. "If you ever bother me again for anything I'm going to come and then take you with me, your time will be up and there wont be any coming back…agreed?"

Dean put his hands in the air, yah absolutely, agree 100%, you are doing me a solid here and I appreciate this, saving my brother."

Death turned back to Sam who was begging and struggling on the cot, "Good answer Dean" Death slowly put Sam's soul back in his body. I'm putting up a wall Sam, you wont remember what happened to you, don't try to take down the wall." Sam's body arched and then fell back on the cot and he passed out.

Death stood and and picked up the empty bag "remember what I said Dean." Death vanished.

Dean walked over to Sam and pulled up a chair next to his brother speaking softly and running his fingers through his hair. Castiel watched everything through the window, looking at the two rings on his finger he sighed and turned to Bobby "Could you please tell Dean I'm going to be gone a few days, I'm going to see Sophia."

"Come on Cas, lets get a drink, you don't have to leave now. He just wants to make sure Sam is ok, that this has all worked. As soon as Sam wakes up you can talk". Bobby pointed to the rings on Castiel's finger "want to talk about it? I really can't say I'm Dear Abby and know anything about what goes on with a man and angel but you can give me the PG version and I'll see if I can help."

…

Castiel and Bobby sat and talked over drinks. "I took Dean away to my special place, he committed himself to me and I then gave him a ring." Castiel looked out the window at nothing in particular," but I find myself feeling possessive of him now. If I am truthful to you Bobby I'm frightened of Dean no longer wanting me if Sam is fully intact."

Bobby leaned back in his desk chair, staring at the ceiling, this was really out of his comfort zone and he regretted offering any advice. "I can't know what Dean is thinking, what he is going to do. You know he and Sam have a ….complicated relationship. I came to terms with it a long time ago. Their dad didn't know or didn't want to admit it. I knew before they did, just seeing them together as kids. The older they got the more things I noticed between them. Its been an unspoken rule that I don't talk about it with them but I was ok with it. " Bobby sighed, "I guess they had so much taken away from them that they could only trust and love each other." Castiel was quiet, still staring out the window. " Dean just took a shine to you right away Cas, when you leave he worries and wonders when you are coming back. He misses you and I saw a love grow in him. He doesn't have many friends outside of Sam but he trusted you from day one. I was happy about it, your good for him, gentle, he needs that. Dean never seems to feel good enough, blames himself for things. He hasn't had a lot of affection in his life except from Sam." Bobby hitched his thumb toward the basement "but that going on down there, don't know how this will all play out for you, sorry Cas."

Castiel looked at Bobby "Thank you for talking to me. I am still going away for a few days, I want Dean to sort it out. Tell him I will be in Sophia's garden and will be back soon." Castiel vanished.

…

Dean was sleeping in the chair still holding Sam's hand. "Dean, what happened?" Sam's voice was horse and low. Dean woke and smiled at his brother, "How do you feel Sammy, you feel ok? Do you feel…..like…I don't know, complete again?"

"I remember what happened, Death putting my soul back in, that's about it. I'm so tired, would you untie me, please Dean? I hurt."

Dean untied him, Sam tried to get up but slumped to the floor. Dean sat next to him and held Sam in his arms and rocked him. "My baby boy is back, my Sammy, I can feel it." Dean cried and buried his face in his brothers hair.

…..

Castiel sat in the garden and meditated, taking in the sounds and smells around him, eyes closed. Sophia appeared on the bench next to him and took his hand. "Castiel, to what do I owe this visit brother?" She rubbed her thumb over the two rings on his finger, "Beautiful rings, very special but one belongs to another?"

"Yes sister, I took Dean to my special place and he pledged himself to me. I felt it was the right time to give him this ring. We consummated our commitment and it was beautiful. I felt happy for once, truly happy as I have never felt."

Sophia took Castiel's chin in her fingers and turned him to face her "Did he hurt you brother?" her eyes grew dark, "I will talk to him in my particular way and he will regret it Castiel. I warned you about humans." Sophia touched her brothers forehead and quickly saw it all, everything that had happened. She hugged Castiel and hissed "I knew his brother would be a problem, Dean would be a problem. He should get on his knees and thank our Father for you every day of his miserable short life."

"Castiel tried to smile "No Sophia it was my fault for loving him, it wasn't a choice, it was a force of its own and I let it take me. I love Dean Winchester but he has to come to terms with his brother on his own. If my heart wants what I cannot have I will deal with that when the time comes. Could I please stay awhile?"

Sophia smiled, "of course Castiel as long as you would like.

…

Dean picked up Sam under the arms and helped him up to their bedroom. Sam had sweat through his clothing and Dean took them off and covered Sam with a blanket. "Can I get you anything Sammy, something to eat?"

Sam smiled softly and touched his brothers face, "No, Dean would you mind lying down with me? " Dean took off his clothes and crawled under the blanket pulling Sam tight in his arms and it felt like coming home again.

"Dean, I've missed you, its like I vanished for a year and I'm just seeing you, " Sam kissed his brothers freckles, "I missed those sweet freckles of yours big brother" Sam kissed him full on his soft lips, "I missed so much, I love you Dean." Sam cried on his brothers chest." Dean started kissing Sam all over his face, licking the tears away then pressing against his mouth with urgency and slid his tongue inside.

Sam sucked on his neck marking him as his own again, Dean was lost in the moment and their hands stroked and caressed , bringing each other to a slow, gentle climax.

Dean woke a few hours later with the scent of sweat and sex around him, Sammy sound asleep in his arms. "What did I do…..what do I do….you fucked up Dean you really fucked up." Dean realized that as soon as he entered that panic room Castiel left his mind right up until this very minute. Hot tears slid down his face in the dark as he realized he could ruin two people he loved so much.
