Cas had forgotten how long he had been sitting there. He was deep in his thoughts. HE didn't even notice that there were people around him. "Cas?"
He flinched and looked around. Dean, Lisa and Ben were standing in front of him. "Dean? Lisa?"
"Hey, what are you doing here? We have been looking for you everywhere. Sam told me you were going to Bobby's."
"I was but I thought I could relax for a moment a clear my head. I guess I zoned out and lost time."
"You're telling me. It's 4 in the afternoon and Sam said you left at 9 this morning."
"I guess I should go back to Heaven now. I can go to Bobby's tomorrow morning."
Cas started walking away when Dean stopped him. "Cas, wait." He turned around. "I remember everything that happened when I was…belittled. I just wanted to say thanks. You are probably very busy up in Heaven and yet you took time out of your day and came down to help Sam and Ruby with me. Thanks…for everything."
"It was nothing, Dean. What are friends for?" Cas replied looking down at the ground.
"No really, Cas. It means a lot to me. You're a great friend and I'm glad to have you."
"Thank you, Dean. Now, I should really go. Nice to see you again Lisa and Ben. See you later Dean." Cas smiled as Dean nodded and he went back to Heaven.
Cas sat on a park bench once again but this time in a little 4 year old girl Heaven who died during a heart transplant surgery. He watched as she lived out her Heaven. Forever happy, forever energetic, Forever playful.
"Dean doesn't know you love him. Dean doesn't love you back. Am I right, Castiel?" Cas flinched as God (In Chuck Shurley's body) appeared beside him on the bench.
"How'd you know?"
"I'm God, Castiel. I created you. I created Dean. I know how this story ends."
"Why are you here? You're God, you must be busy we other higher level angel and not a bottom of the barrel scum angel like me."
"I see something in you Castiel. You are different from all the other angels. You actually have feeling. I created you to be a soldier. Your charge was grab Dean Winchester out of Hell. Any other angel would have just gone on with their merry way but you stayed and helped the Winchester boys. I like that about you."
"Thank you. If you know how that story ends, you know how Dean's feels about me."
God nodded his head. "You wanted know if Dean loves you back."
"Yes, Father. More than anything." Cas nodded as his eyes grew big and his face turned red.
"I don't think I should say much. In 2 years Dean is going to need more than ever because in 4 months from now two things happen around the same time."
Like that God was gone. Cas decided to go back to Earth where it was almost 8 in the morning there. He landed in front of Sam and Ruby's house. He knocked on the door like he normally did and Sam came up to the door holding Clarabelle. Sam smiled.
"Hello Sam."
"Hey Cas. Come in. I just finished eating breakfast. Ruby just finished feeding Clara and I'm burping her, Ruby's eating right now. There is some left over if you want any."
"Thank you, Sam, but I'm not hungry."
"You seem off, Cas. What's up?"
"I have just been thinking a lot lately." Cas said as he entered the kitchen and sat at the table with Ruby. Sam sat beside his wife and Clara gave a big burp which they all smiled.
"That's never good." Ruby remarked as she stood up and cleaned her plate before taking Clara out of Sam's arms.
"Is Dean here?"
"No, he stayed over at Lisa's. I can only imagine what they are doing to make up for lost time." Sam said.
"I'm glad he is enjoying being an adult again. I can tell he missed Lisa." Cas remarked. "He must love her."
"I'm not sure, Cas. Dean hasn't loved a lot of woman. There was a girl named Cassie who he loved but they could never be together. There was Jo who I think he loved more as a little sister but it was still love. I don't see that with Lisa. I think it's just filler for him."
Cas was smiling in the inside. Maybe Dean did love him. On the outside Cas just nodded. "If Dean is happy then we should be happy for him."
"Exactly. Now, Cas. Sam called Bobby last night after Dean came over say you never went. Bobby said that if you could be at the Salvage Yard at 10 he could show you a few things to help with cars." Ruby said.
"Thank you, I will surely be there. Will Dean start working there now?"
"I guess, if he is going to stop hunting." Sam said.
"I don't think he will hunt without you, Sam."
"Maybe he could hunt with you, Cas."
"I don't hunt. It's not my business."
"Whatever, man. Go head over to Bobby's Maybe if you're earlier he won't bust your balls too bad." Sam smirked.
Cas smiled and vanished and reappeared in the Salvage yard. He heard a familiar. Dean's. Then he heard his name.
He walked forward and saw Dean walking towards him already covered in motor oil. "Cas!"
"Good morning, Dean."
"You actually think you are going to work on cars in that?"
Cas looked at his vessel. He was utterly confused.
"Come on, dude, I have spare clothes that might fit you in the Impala. There's no way in Hell Bobby will let you work wearing that."
Cas smiled as Dean handed him the change of clothes. He just repeated a sentence over and over again in his mind. Today is going to be a good day. Today is going to be a good day. Today is going to be a good day. Today is goi—man Dean looks amazing in this light even with the oil all over him…dammit. Today is going to be a rough day. Today is going to be a rough day.
