Still shaking with rage, Dean wants only one thing: to see Cas. All he can think about is how he wants to be with him and forget about all the hurtful words that came out of Samuel's mouth. He takes a few deep breaths, to steady himself, and to ensure Sam has gone out of the corridor. Dean begins to stroll towards his room, knowing full well that Cas will be waiting for him there.
And sure enough, the hunter opens the door, to see Castiel lying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. He pushes himself up, and rests his back against the headboard, as he spots Dean at the door.
Cas sympathetically smiles at the hunter, getting the same half-smile in return. Dean pushes the door too behind him, and head over to join Castiel on the bed.
"It sounds like he took it really well," Cas smiles, trying to make light of the situation.
And sure enough Dean lets out a little laugh, as he clambers onto the bed, next to the angel. Dean leans into Castiel's chest, as he lets out a sigh of relief. Cas stretches an arm around him, and kisses the hunter on the top of his head. They stay in silence for a moment or two, just taking in the situation.
"I kicked him out," Dean announces.
"What?"
Cas is shocked. He knew Sam wouldn't take it well, but he never imagined that Dean would push his brother away like that. Sam and Dean Winchester not being together just doesn't sound right.
"Dean, are you sure about this?"
"100% Cas."
Dean pushes himself back upright, so he can look the angel in the eye.
"And just so you know," he points out, resting a hand on Castiel's thigh, "I don't regret a thing."
"Really?" Cas smiles, placing his hand on top of Dean's.
"When i get to wake up to you every morning it makes me so happy." Dean smiles, as he lovingly stares into Castiel's crystal blue eyes. "When you get carried away and give me like a billion hickies I cant help but smile like an idiot. When you're pouring me coffee first thing in the morning, just because you woke up first for a change, I long to drag you back into bed with me."
The pair of them smile at one another, as they agree on the joy in those little moments they've shared. Cas leans over and gives Dean a kiss. Dean smiles, and rests his back on the headboard too, them both now sitting side by side, holding hands in the middle.
"But all of those moments, those loving, once in a lifetime moments, have all been tainted by my bro-"
Dean stops himself, not being able to call Sam his brother already.
"-Sam's reaction." the hunter continues, correcting himself. "Or the fear of it at least. I just want us to be a normal couple, Cas, is that too much to ask?"
Castiel can't help but bring the hunter in for an embrace. His heart must be breaking right now. Dean may have found his true love in the angel, but at the cost of his relationship with his brother. Cas squeezes his partner a little, in support, as Dean wraps an arms around the angel's waist.
Out in the hall they can hear the footsteps of the younger Winchester as he heads up the hallway. Sam knows Dean and Cas must be in there together, of course they are. But he doesn't shout and scream. He pauses outside for a moment, but quickly moves on. The thought of them in there together makes his blood boil, but those emotions are overthrown right now with grief of having just lost his big brother for good.
