Chapter 2 – Company
In the middle of the night, Dean woke up. He could have sworn he heard a scratch in the hallway outside his room.
He sat down and listened. Yes, there it was again. It sounded like steps.
Now wide awake, he stood up and made his way to the door. In the bunker it was quiet, only the noises of some machines, which also ran over night, were to be heard.
Dean avoided turning on the lights. Whatever stood outside his door didn't need to know that the room was occupied.
„Actually stupid", he thought, „every being can somehow feel that I'm here."
At the door, he took a deep breath. For some reason, his pulse had been speeding up. With the intention to attack immediately, he opened the door... and collided with a figure.
The faint night lighting in the hallway seemed like glistening light to Dean. His eyes were still used to the darkness of his room. On closer inspection of the figure, however, he knew immediately who it was.
„This fuzzy hair", he thought and immediately noticed the tingling and inner warmth returning. „Arrgh, I'm gonna go crazy!"
„Cas?" Inquiring Dean looked in the direction of the angel.
„Hello Dean", Castiel said.
„Man, what are you doin here? Something happened?"
„I can't sleep. I had nightmares, I'm in pain and I was lonely."
„Then why did you come here of all places? I'm unable to help you, you know that!"
„Man, how stupid of me", Dean thought, „he lookes so sad. He never talks about anything like that and now that he needs help, I push him away!"
Sadly, Castiel looked at the older Winchester. „Okay, then I'll take my leave. Good night, Dean."
Castiel turned around and wanted to go away. Dean noticed that, grabbed him and pulled him in. He wrapped both arms around the slightly smaller man and Castiel, almost grateful, let himself sink against Dean. They stayed like this for a while.
Then Dean thought: „Sam's at home as well, not that he heard the footsteps too, and is about to pass by."
He wasn't embarrassed, as he had always thought, but wanted to have this moment to himself. The three of them live here and everyone had their own room, but sometimes it was still too much closeness for Dean. Even when the door was closed, he sometimes had the feeling that the others would notice everything.
„Dean", Castiel asked, face leaned against Dean's neck, „is everything all right?"
„Why?"
„Your heart's beating faster!" Now that Castiel was talking about it, Dean realized that his heartbeat had actually quickened and he got warmer again.
„Yeah, it's all fine", Dean murmured and held Castiel a little tighter as he already had. Then he let go of him and gently took him into his room.
„What are you doin?" Castiel asked in a low voice, a little bit confused about the sudden loss of contact.
„Sshhh", Dean made and closed the door.
Now fully surrounded by darkness again, Dean groped his way forward until he touched Castiel's arm.
„Come with me", he said, reaching for the angel. Castiel, surprised by this action, let himself be dragged along without resistance.
When Dean got to the bed, he crawled in first and suggested Castiel to follow him. Castiel lay down with him and turned to the right side. Dean lay behind him and wrapped both arms around Castiel. Castiel cuddled up even closer to him, bringing a smile to Dean's face. He raised his head and gave Castiel a kiss on the neck near where his ear was. Castiel made a noise that sounded like the purring of a cat. Dean pulled him in even closer.
„Sleep now, my angel", Dean whispered in Castiel's ear.
He lay back and listened into himself. For the first time an a very long time he noticed that a certain calm spreading through him. Like he finally found his safe haven. He was happy!
„Dean?", Castiel asked quietly after a short time.
„Yeah", Dean answered with the same quiet voice.
„I said it'd be okay!"
With a smile on their faces they both finally fell asleep.
