Disoriented (Chapter 14)
"Hold….Dean…Almost…..Oh God…..We're gonna make…." Was all Dean could hear as he slipped in and out of consciousness. He held his hand firmly to his wound, as the mysterious person who had saved his life sped towards a hospital.
"Cas…" Dean muttered trying to regain consciousness. He slipped into unconsciousness, leaving the world behind him.
He came too, someone was carrying him. Their hand was firmly placed on Dean's stab wound. He looked up to see who was carrying him, but his vision failed him. He slipped under again; the last thought on his mind was Castiel.
Cas was sitting in his room, worried why Dean hadn't texted him. It wasn't like Dean to not keep in contact with him, which only made his worry even worse.
"Brother, it's time for dinner!" Uriel yelled up the stairs.
Cas got up to head downstairs when he felt his phone go off. Someone was calling him, he looked at his phone to see his Jo was calling him.
"Hello?" Cas said confused at why Jo was calling him. He started freaking out when he realized Jo was crying on the other end.
"Cas!" she cried into the phone.
"Jo, what is wrong?" Cas said extremely freaked out.
He could hear Jo sobbing on the other end of the line, he heard Ellen in the background.
"Cas?" Ellen said as she took the phone from her sobbing daughter.
"What's happened? Has something happened to Dean?" Cas said as he grabbed his favorite trench coat and got ready to leave his house.
"Dean was stabbed, he's in the hospital." Ellen said trying to hold back tears." Jo, Sam and I are at Saint Mary's hospital."
" I am on my way." Was all Cas could muster, he felt a tear roll down his cheek and rushed out of his room.
He walked down the stairs deaf to the world as he walked past Uriel.
"Where do you think you are going?" His brother asked, angry at Cas defiance.
Cas stopped dead in his tracks. Unable to hold in his emotions he screamed " MY BOYFRIEND WAS STABBED!" He walked out the door as he heard his brother get up from his chair.
Cas turned to see his brother running out of the house, he ran in front of Cas and grabbed onto his shoulders.
"What did you say?" He said, obviously pissed off.
"I don't have time for this. Get. Out. Of. " Cas said threatingly.
Uriel slapped Cas across the face, Cas could feel his anger rising and could not hold it in anymore. He punched his brother in the face with the force that could destroy a tank. His brother fell to the ground, shocked that his brother had actually hit him. Cas just walked past him and continued on his trek towards the hospital. He faintly heard his brother yell something along the lines of "Never come back blasphemer" But Cas was to focused on getting to the hospital to care. He picked up his pace and began to run towards the hospital.
20 minutes later Cas arrived at the hospital, not knowing where to go he walked over to the nurse's station.
"Excuse me, could you point me in the direction of Dean Winchester's room?" Cas said completely out of breath from running to the hospital.
"I'm sorry we can't give out that info…" the nurse tried to say before getting cut off "I'm his boyfriend! Now tell me where his room is or ill just find it myself." Cas yelled.
"Room 332." The nurse said knowing that the man in front of her would find the room anyways; this would help him find it much quicker.
"Thank you" the man said as he ran towards the pressed the 3rd floor button on the elevator, waiting for what seemed like forever for the elevator to reach the floor. He rushed out of the elevator and towards the direction he assumed the room would be.
He turned the corner of the hospital to find Jo, Ellen, and Sam sitting next to each other on the floor. Jo still sobbing, Ellen sat there trying to comfort her while Sam sat there with a blank look on his face. He rushed towards them, when they noticed him Jo stood up and hugged Cas, crying into his shoulder. Cas let down his guard and started to cry. He felt like his whole world had come crashing down around him.
He noticed as Ellen stood up and walked over towards them, with Sam on her heels. Jo let go and hugged Sam , still crying. Ellen gave Cas a hug and held him tighter than he had ever gotten in his entire life. She comforted him as he cried into her. The stood in their embrace for a few minutes, allowing Cas to regain his composure.
"What happened?" Cas asked as he wiped a tear away.
"He was stabbed in the abdomen, he is in surgery now." Ellen said, trying to keep her composure.
Cas looked over at Sam, who was just staring at nothing. Cas walked over to the man he knew nothing about and gave him a hug, trying to comfort the little brother who looked lost. Cas felt as Sam moved his arms to hug Cas back. Cas could feel the man he hugged breaking down. He knew he needed to be there to support his boyfriends little brother.
The sat back on the ground, waiting for a doctor to tell them what happened. Cas was too anxious to do anything. He sat there praying for Dean to be ok. Sam say him praying and followed suit, joining him in his prayers. After they had finished he heard Ellen trying to comfort Jo, who was still crying. Cas couldn't hold back any longer and started to cry. He felt someone wrap their arm around his shoulder and pull them in comforting, he looked up and saw Sam holding on to him.
They sat there on the ground for what felt like an eternity. Cas was lost. He had no idea what to do. He couldn't imagine his life without Dean. He quickly pushed those thoughts from his mind affirming that Dean would be ok.
Someone had caught his attention as they rounded the corner; he quickly stood up to greet the man.
Dean shifted in the bed he was in, confused at how he had gotten here. He stirred and felt someone holding his hand. He fell back into his dreamless sleep.
He woke up again, slowly opening his eyes as they adjusted to the brightness of the room. He had no idea where he was. He moved his head to try and get a better sense of where he was. From what he could tell, he was in a hospital, and it was late at night. He turned his head to the door, felt someone holding his hand again. He looked down and saw someone in a trench coat, who was asleep in the chair next to his bed, was holding his hand. Disoriented he tried to pry the other person's hand off, which only woke the man.
He looked at the man, and saw brilliant cerulean eyes staring back at him.
"Cas?" Dean said groggily. Cas stood up and hugged Dean, being careful not to hurt him. Cas leaned over so he was inches from Dean's face, a tear rolling down his face, he leaned in and kissed Dean.
Dean was severely confused, he remembered that they were dating, but still had no clue what was going on.
Cas sat back down in his chair and pulled his phone out, still holding onto Dean's hand.
"Ellen, he is awake!" Cas said into the phone, unable to hold back his tears of joy anymore.
Dean heard someone say something on the other line, but couldn't make it out. He watched as Cas hung up his phone, and looked back towards Dean.
"What, what happened Cas? Where am I?" Dean asked still a bit disoriented.
"You're at Saint Mary's hospital; you were stabbed in the parking lot of school." Cas said smiling, that his boyfriend was alive.
"How did I get here?" he asked
"That would be because of me" someone said standing in the doorway.
Dean tried to get his eyes to focus on the man who was now walking towards them. As his eyes adjusted he could see the form of Gabriel standing next to his brother.
"Thank you. Why were you at school?" Dean asked blatantly
"Well, when I saw how you reacted to how Cassie hear wasn't at school, it got me curious. So I came back to school, to confront you about what was going on between you and my little bro here. That's when I saw Garth and those people stab you. So I reached for my gun that I keep in my car because Uriel wants me to be safe, guess it kind of came in handy." Gabriel said.
"But from what I just saw Cassie do to ya, I can assume you guys are dating?" Gabriel asked.
"Yeah, we are." Dean said defensively.
"Oh, don't worry. I'm not gonna tell anyone, and I've always known my little bro was a homo." He said as Cas elbowed Gabriel in the ribs.
"Thank you." Dean said, he looked over to Cas, his eyes were swollen, probably from crying. Dean felt horrible for putting Cas through that, he felt as tears started to roll down his face. Cas just looked at him and smiled, as he wiped Dean's tears from his face.
"UH! Atleast warn me before you to go all lovey dovey on me!" Gabriel said as he turned away. Secretly he was happy for Castiel, he always felt that Cas was never happy. Uriel always pushed Cas the hardest, even when their parents were around, Uriel always pushed Cas to be his best, even if he was a bit forceful at times. Gabriel felt as his phone went off in his pocket. He looked down to see it was Uriel.
To:/Gabriel
Castiel is not to come back to this house under any circumstance. His stuff is on the porch, you can tell him to get it immediately.
From:/Uriel
Gabriel frowned once he read the text message. He was unsure why Cas had been kicked out of the house, but that was the least of his concerns, as he looked over at Dean and Cas who were smiling and laughing. He noticed as Dean winced from his stab wound, but he could tell that right now was not the time to tell Cas he needed to get his stuff.
"Well, I'll just leave you two love birds at it." He said as he walked out the door, intent on getting Cas' belongings for him while he spent some time with his boyfriend that almost died.
"Gabe…" Dean called out, Gabriel peeked his head around the corner" Thank you, for saving me." Dean said to him, he noticed a tear roll down Dean's face, probably from the realization that he could have died a couple days ago.
Dean watched as Gabriel strode out of the room, another tear streamed down his face. He didn't care though, he felt as Cas reached up and kissed Dean on the forehead.
"How long was I out?" Dean asked Cas.
"About 2 days, the doctors kept you under to lessen some of the pain. They said that you would be on some painkillers for a while, till everything heals." Dean stared in shock at what he had just been told. Two days! He thought to himself, realizing how much his wound actually hurt.
He leaned over, wincing at the pain, and pulled Cas up as he placed a kiss on Cas' lips like it was his final kiss. When Dean broke the kiss, he laid down and looked at Cas, who was smiling, just happy that Dean was alive. He heard people coming down the hall and grabbed Cas' hand as he watched Ellen, Jo, and Sam walk into the room, looking to Dean with huge smiles on all their faces.
Jo pretty much ran to Dean's bed hugging him as hard as she could. Afraid she had lost one of her brothers. Dean cringed at the pain from being hugged to tightly. Ellen came over and smacked Jo in the arm, Jo immediately let go and looked at her mom. "Remember, he can't be moved to much or he will tear his stiches!" Ellen reminded her daughter. Sam, fighting back tears walked over to Dean and hugged him lightly " I thought I was going to lose you" He said as he let a tear fall.
Dean looked at his brother, "I ain't gonna die that easy" he said defiantly trying to cheer his little brother up. Ellen looked over at Dean giving him a hug as well. She looked down at Cas who looked Dean on his feet. Cas had refused to move the whole time Dean was in the room, he stayed with Dean all day and night. Ellen respected him greatly for this, but man did he look tired.
Dean looked over at Cas, it had been an hour after everyone had calmed down and went back home, but Cas refused to leave. Dean was curious as to why his boyfriend hadn't left, even though Dean was fine.
Curiosity got the best of him, "Babe, why don't you go home and sleep? I promise I'll still be here tomorrow."
"Because I have nowhere to go, Uriel kicked me out after I punched him the face trying to get past him to come here." Cas replied, his voice a little shaky .
"What!" Dean almost yelled ready to kick that ass-hat's teeth in." Why would he do that?"
"Well he said something about me being a blasphemer, but I was too worried about you to care" Cas said as he planted a kiss on Dean's forehead.
He looked at his lover, happily as he watched Cas' eyes try to close from exhaustion. Dean looked at the size of the bed and decided it was big enough for the both of them.
"Here," Dean said as he painfully scooted over. " there is enough room for both of us" he patted the bed motioning for Cas to hop up on the bed.
Cas carefully climbed onto the bed. He watched Cas as he closed his eyes, he was about to go to sleep when he opened his eyes again and looked up at Dean.
"I'm really happy you are ok." He said with a smile as he rested his head against Dean's shoulder, quickly falling asleep.
Dean realized how tired he was, and decided that sleep wouldn't be a bad idea. He closed his eyes and followed his lover into a deep sleep.
The nurse was making her rounds as usual, and decided to pop in on Dean to see if he needed anything. Usually she worked at the nurse's station at the E.R, but today was her shift on the third floor. She slowly opened the door, and in shock noticed someone was in Dean's bed with him. She calmed down when she realized who was in the bed, the man who had yelled at her the day of Dean's admittance and who refused to leave his side. She smiled as she quickly grabbed a plate of food and set it on Dean's bed stand before quickly shutting the door, letting the man and his boyfriend get some well needed sleep.
Dean woke up to someone knocking on his door. He looked as Gabriel walked into the room. He looked down at the sleeping form of Cas who was still snuggled up against Dean's shoulder. Deciding to not wake him he quietly asked Gabe why he was here.
"I tried to work things out with Uriel, but he won't budge, I also managed to get Cas' stuff." He whispered trying to not wake his sleeping brother.
"It was worth a shot, we will figure something out" Dean said as he leaned down and kissed the top of Cas' head. Cas stirred a bit, before going back to his sleep. Dean smiled as Cas snuggled closer to him.
"I'll let you two get your rest, let me know when you have something figured out." Gabe said as he walked out the door, making sure to shut it quietly.
Dean went back to sleep instantaneously pulling Cas even closer to himself.
Dean and Cas woke up a couple hours later. Dean was starving when he noticed the plate of food on the table. Cas grabbed the plate and set it on Dean's lap. He watched as the man devoured the whole plate of food, like he hadn't eaten in months. Once Dean had finished, Cas reached over and grabbed the plate and set it down. He got up to go to the bathroom, he had just finished when he heard the door open. He walked out and saw the doctor talking to Dean.
"How do you feel Dean? Nausea, abdominal cramps?" the doctor asked.
" No, nothing like that." Dean answered as Cas took a seat back in the chair, not wanting to climb back into the bed, as to not be reprimanded by the doctor.
"Alright, let me just look at the stiches" The doctor said as he moved over to Dean's right side and lifted the gown to look at Dean's stiches. Cas looked out of curiosity, and saw a laceration about 3 inches long, he saw that the stitches looked disgusting. The doctor looked and smiled.
" You're healing well, in a couple days you might even be able to go home." The doctor said as he wrote something down." I'll be back tomorrow to check up on you." He said as he walked out the door. Cas looked at the time, 10 am. Cas realized how hungry he was, and walked over to Dean, kissed him on the lips, and told him that he was going to get some food.
Dean sat up as Ellen, Jo, and Sam walked into the room about 10 minutes after Cas left. Dean was still worried about where Cas was going to stay. Not really paying attention to what they were saying.
"Dean, what's wrong?" Ellen asked.
"Well, Cas kinda got kicked out of his house, I guess I'm just a bit concerned where he is going to stay." He said worryingly.
Ellen sat there thinking about what to do. She finally came up with a solution.
"Well Dean, if you want he could live with us?"She asked" I could try and get him a job at the Road House if he wants to pay rent. "
"I'll ask Cas when he gets back." Dean said a bit relieved at the decision, now he could focus on getting better, than trying to find Cas a place to live.
They sat and talked for a while before Cas came back into the room. He was happy to see the rest of the people he had bonded with over this whole ordeal.
"So Cas, I heard your out a place to live. " Ellen said." Don't feel pressured or anything, but you are welcome to stay with us, you can pay rent if you would like, I can get you a job at the Road House if you want."
Cas sat and thought weighing his options, he looked over to Dean who gave him a reassuring smile silently saying I want you to move in with me. Cas thought a bit more before saying, " Alright, I would like to pay rent so I wouldn't feel like I was living here for free. Thank you Ellen."
Ellen walked over to Cas, leaned over kissed his forehead and said lovingly " Your welcome honey, and welcome to the family."
The next few days were uneventful, Dean stayed at the hospital till Saturday when he was told he was being released. Ellen was given specific directions as to what Dean could and could not do. What about sex? Dean thought to himself as he was being wheeled down the ramp towards the car. Ellen apparently on top of it asked the doctor. The doctor walked over to Dean and looked at him " No sex for at least 2 weeks ok?" the doctor said.
Dean a bit disappointed "yeah, I understand" he said as Sam helped him into the Car. Cas sat next to Dean, grabbing his hand as they waited for everyone to get into the car. Once everyone was in the car, Ellen backed up, and they drove off, to Cas and Dean's house.
