Keep Me Strong
Chapter Twenty Eight: What I've Been Waiting For
Dean was at home and either in bed or on the sofa, resting his healing ribs. Both Castiel and Dean were given a month off work, Dean getting sick pay while Castiel refused it. Ellen still offered to pay his wage, but he turned her down since he was doing nothing to earn it.
Castiel supported Dean as he moved downstairs, laying him on the sofa so carefully before kissing his forehead.
"I'm so glad to have you home with me." Castiel whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too, Cassie." Dean replied, pulling Castiel down for a kiss.
"Do you want a coffee, babe?" Castiel asked, running a hand through Dean's hair as he moved towards the kitchen.
"Yeah, that'd be great thanks, Sweetheart." Dean replied, sighing like a big girl as he watched Castiel move to the kitchen.
Setting the coffee maker off, Castiel came back and turned the TV on.
"What would you like to watch?" He asked, sitting on the floor beside Dean and grabbing the remotes.
"I don't mind, Cas," Dean replied, "What DVDs did I get out for the other night?"
"Ummm…" Castiel began, looking through the DVDs that were still stacked up, "Oh, what about A Nightmare On Elm Street 3? We've not seen that one yet have we?"
Dean grinned and nodded before Castiel put the DVD in and went to make the coffee.
"Are those his tendons?" Castiel asked, hiding his face in a cushion as he remained on the floor beside Dean.
"I'm guessing…" Dean said, disgusted by what he was seeing.
Castiel gagged and looked away.
"Oh, that's gross…"
Dean chuckled and ran a hand through Castiel's hair.
"You cute little teenage girl." He laughed, earning a beautiful smile from Castiel.
"Well I am 'Nurse Castiel'." The youngest Novak replied, earning a wink from Dean.
He blushed and looked away, giggling when Dean started telling him about one of his sexual fantasies.
"Always wanted to see you in a nurse's uniform, Castiel." He whispered huskily, "Wondered how good you'd look in a dress."
"You sick little man." Castiel retorted with a grin, "You're a real little pervert aren't you!"
"I'm not! You're the only person I'd ever find attractive in a nurse's outfit." Dean said with a chuckle.
Both of them looked back to the screen at the wrong time. The kid's feet were in full view, the skin split and folding around the wound as his tendons were used as puppet strings to walk him around.
"OH GOD!" Castiel cried, hiding his face.
"Fuck that's screwed up!" Dean yelled, his eyes glued to the screen.
Castiel looked at Dean from behind his pillow and the older Winchester's eyes met his. Not once breaking eye contact, Castiel moved towards Dean, cradling the older man's battered face in his hands and kissing his lips softly.
"I love you." Castiel whispered, smiling when Dean did.
"Love you too, Cas." Dean replied, "I love you more than you could ever dream of, and I'm not kidding…I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, loving you and living a good life with you."
Castiel was taken back by that, those blue eyes filling with tears. Dean reached into his pocket, grumbling through the pain of moving before pulling a box from it. He took Castiel's hand and smiled.
"I know I'm not exactly on one knee for this," He began, opening the box to reveal a silver ring with an oval-shaped amethyst in the middle of the band, "Castiel Novak, will you marry me?"
The youngest Novak's heart stopped and started again as he stared at the ring. On the left side of the amethyst was his name, and on the right was Dean's name. It was beautiful, and it must've cost a fortune. He realised he hadn't answered yet and as tears rolled down his face he smiled and nodded.
"Yes! Yes, Dean, of course I'll marry you!"
Dean grinned widely and one tear slipped down his cheek as he put the ring on Castiel's finger, kissing it before kissing Castiel passionately. It hurt to move but he didn't care, he just wanted to kiss and hold his lover for a lifetime.
