Dean Winchester was chilled all the way through to his bones. He'd been hunting a wendigo and it had been eventually successful, but he had fallen into a half-frozen lake somewhere in the process. He was currently shivering forcefully as he attempted to unlock the apartment door. His hands were shaking so bad, it took him awhile to actually fit the key inside the lock. When he opened the door, his nerves relaxed in relief.
The only thing on his mind was heat. He had to warm up somehow because this freezing cold was unbearable. Trembling like a leaf, Dean stumbled into the bathroom and drew a bath. He watched it enviously, the steam unfurling in tendrils. Eagerly, he went ahead and slipped into the tub, sighing as the warmth eased his mind.
He couldn't remember the last bath he'd taken; he was more of a shower kind of guy, because showers were manly and shit. But baths were just as good if not better, he decided. Dean sank down further in the comfortable waters until he was in up to his chin. This would be what heaven would feel like.
"Hello, Dean." A familiar voice snapped Dean out of his thoughts. The Winchester jumped, hearing Cas' voice, and instantly tried to preserve any modesty he had left.
"C-Cas!" he stuttered in shock.
"I wanted to check up on you."
"Now's not the time!" Dean retorted, snatching a towel and hastily standing upright to wrap it around himself. "Come back later."
AN - Hi, fellas! I'll post one more chapter tonight, after this, to catch up! My midterms start tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to consistently write this week, but you bet I'll try :) Thanks for all who read. I appreciate it.
