*When you see this lil' asterisk thing, go and search for the song if you haven't heard it already. Thing's make a little more sense in my opinion, or at least be a little more meaningful.

Dean sat on his sofa, a blanket draped over his shoulders. He was gripping a glass of ice water tightly with both of his hands. He stared blankly ahead, looking at nothing, out of focus. After half an hour of coaxing and a little upper body strength, Sam had gotten Dean back in the house and on the sofa.

"Dean, what happened?" Sam asked, gently removing the glass from Dean's hands.

Dean fingered the tie in his lap. "He's gone." He finally whispered.

"Cas?"

Dean nodded. "Cas. Gabriel. Michael."

"Gone? What's gone mean, Dean?" Sam slowly ran his hand down Dean's back.

"Gone. They moved." Dean choked.

"Moved?" Sam scoffed. "In a day?"

Dean nodded slowly, biting his lip.

"It was Michael wasn't it?"

"Yeah." Dean answered.

Sam looked up when he heard a knock at the door. He opened it and saw it was Charlie. He gave her a quizzical look and undid the chain, letting her in. Immediately she ran over to Dean.

"Dean are you alright?" Charlie sat down next to him.

Dean shook his head. "No."

"I came as fast as I heard." She said.

"It's alright." Dean sighed with a sniffle.

"I figured Cas would come and tell you before he left and you know..." Charlie sighed. "His brother's a real asshole. He should die a fiery death."

"He should." Dean grumbled.

"Don't give him any ideas, Charlie." Sam retorted.

"What does yellow ribbon mean?" Dean asked.

"That's random." Charlie chuckled. "And I'm not sure."

"Well that's the last thing Cas said to me. He told me to tie a yellow ribbon." Dean said slowly.

"That's a song, Dean." Sam rolled his eyes. "Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree."

"Oh. Never heard of it." Dean shrugged. "Why would he tell me that?"

"No clue." Sam replied.

"Are you two idiots or something?" Charlie scoffed.

"Probably." Dean answered.

"You've never heard the song? That's probably the most poetic thing Cas has told you, Dean and you've never heard the fucking song? Either of you?"

"No." Dean and Sam replied at the same time.

"Give me your phone." Charlie ordered.

Sam pulled out his phone and tossed it to her. She went onto YouTube and searched for the song.*

After the song finished, Charlie handed Sam his phone back. When they looked over at Dean, he was staring at the tie in his lap, thinking intensely over something.

"Dean?" Sam asked tentatively.

Dean picked up the tie and slowly walked outside. He observed the oak tree and after a long moment of just standing, Dean tied Cas's tie around a branch and admired it for a minute. He pulled a pocket knife from his jeans and cut a small piece of the tie out. He put the piece of tie in his wallet and pocketed his knife. Dean went back inside and came out with a needle and thread and sewed up the small hole.

"That was probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Charlie sighed. "Cas hands the dude his tie and tells him to 'tie a yellow ribbon'. Who knew Cas would be so sentimental?"

Sam laughed. "I have seen Dean make so many girls so weak in the knees and head over heels for him."

"Any of 'em like Cas?" Charlie smirked.

"Absolutely not." Sam breathed.

Cas changed out of his clothes and set Dean's spoon on his new nightstand. His dresser was already laden with photos of he and Dean, and his walls weren't much different.

"Cassie..." Gabriel sat beside Cas on his bed. "This is not the healthy way to deal with a break up."

"We didn't break up!" Cas protested, his eyes already starting to tear up again.

"Cas, you're not going to see the guy for years at the least." Gabriel sighed.

"Exactly. I don't want to forget him. I want his face to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing when I got to bed. It'll make things seem like they haven't changed that much." Cas said quietly.

"Is there a need for all these pictures, though? Why not just put a big one above your bed?" Gabriel suggested.

Cas pointed upwards, Gabriel shifting his gaze to the ceiling. "And of course you already did? And how the hell did you get that up there? We have high ceilings?"

"I put a chair on the bed and stood on that." Cas answered.

Gabriel laughed. "You're going to get yourself killed."

"Tell me again why that's such a bad thing?" Cas asked.

"Castiel, don't say that." Gabriel wrapped his arm around Cas's shoulder.

Cas frowned. "I'm scared, Gabriel. Scare of forgetting him."

"Cassie." Gabriel said softly. "You don't forget the first guy you ever loved."

"But what if I do?" Cas whispered.

"Listen to me, Castiel. You won't." Gabriel stood up and pressed a kiss to Cas's forehead. "Now get some sleep."

Gabriel flicked off the light switch and shut the door. Cas walked over to the window in the dark of his room and looked at the stars. After a moment, he pulled the curtains shut and crawled into his bed.

A/N: I think I'm going to have to say this is the shortest thing I've ever uploaded on this site. Like seriously. But yeah, I'd already uploaded a chapter of another story today, but I still had like 4 hours to waste, so I figured I'd write this. I felt like last chapter was an adequate actual 'ending', but I also thought I should write just like a mini chapter sort of thing that takes place immediately after that for the most part. So, tomorrow I'll decide whether I'm going to do an epilogue or a sequel, but either way, I'm pretty sure I would've written this sort of thing anyways. Got to kill some time somehow.
