Cas' POV
I groaned softly as I woke up, my stomach was empty and it growled hungrily. I started to sit up but Dean's arms wrapped tighter around me. I smiled and looked up at him, his eyes were still closed but he was still clinging tightly to me. I tried again to pull out of his arms but he growled a little and pulled me in tighter to his chest, I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat "Dean… Dean… I am hungry can you…" I realized how desperately he was holding me and I frowned, and watched as he started to make small whining noises and his speech was unrecognizable but it became obvious to me he was having a nightmare. I nearly pressed my fingers to his head to stop it before I remembered I couldn't just do that anymore, so I nudged him gently, cupping his cheek. My voice soothing him as best as I could, "Hey..Dean you're okay. You are safe Dean, I've got you. Wake up Dean"
Dean wasn't listening to me, his body writhing a little and he suddenly cried out, "CAS NO!" He sat up suddenly as he cried out and it was clear he had woke up.
I tried to touch him but he flinched away and got up and stood in front of him, his eyes were wide with panic, and he was breathing as if he had run for hours. I kneeled down in front of him at the edge of the bed between his legs and took his hand that was resting on his knee, he almost flinched before his eyes connected with mine. His eyes were still somewhat glazed over as if he was still somewhat stuck in his nightmare so I gently rubbed my thumb over Dean's hand, "I'm okay Dean. I am right here, see I am safe. We are both safe Dean,"
Finally Dean's eyes actually connected with mine and he let out a large sigh, then he pulled me up enough so he could hug me tightly, he let out a small whimper but stayed quiet for a few minutes. Finally he pulled away and he tried to smile but I could see he was struggling, "Y..you hungry Cas? I am starving?"
I wanted to talk to him about the nightmare but I could see right now he was in no mood to talk about it so I just nodded, "Yes I am hungry."
Dean nodded and then helped me up fully, before leading me to the kitchen. I didn't realise I wasn't wearing a shirt until Gabe came in and whistled then winked, "Damn baby brother, didn't know Dean could give you back your wings?"
I made a face at Gabe, "What are you talking about brother?"
Gabe laughed, "The scratches on your back. Obviously from Dean, human's sometimes call them wings."
Dean blushed and went back to cooking us cheeseburgers, "Shut up Gabe"
Gabe smirked, "It's okay Dean, Sammy gives me wings too"
Sam choked as he entered the room, "Gabe!"
Gabe laughed and smiled at Sam, "Yes Sammy?"
Sam blushes deeply and gives Gabe what Sam calls a bitchface before grabbing stuff to make salad for himself. "We don't need to talk about our sex life with our brothers Gabe. Okay I swear I hate you sometimes"
Gabe went over to Sam and kissed him, "No you don't Sammy, now eat a burger like a normal person, or one day your actually going to turn into a Moose and start eating twigs to"
Dean laughs and then looks at Sam, "Your boyfriend's got a point."
Sam groaned, "Shut up Jerk"
Dean rolled his eyes, "Make me Bitch"
I smiled and watched silently as the three of them interacted, it was nice, and despite Dean's protests it was domestic. I looked at Dean's shoulder, just barely visible was the handprint from where I held onto Dean's soul as I pulled it from the depths of Hell. It has been 8 years since I pulled Dean from hell, and we have been through so much together. From fighting the impending Apocalypse to fighting Leviathins and going to Purgatory together. I imagined the idea of getting married to Dean, how he would be very stoic on the outside but a nervous wreck on the inside, because despite everything I know he would worry about the chance of me leaving him. As I watched Dean cooking I imagined whether we would have children somehow, because Dean had always wanted a big family one day, despite his life as a hunter. I knew that there were times he would dream of having kids, of being a dad to at least 2 kids because in his mind it was always better to have siblings.
5 months later
I smiled as I watched Dean pacing in the Library. I have been human for 5 months now, on my birthday 4 months ago Dean proposed to me. Now we were waiting on the call from the Botanical Garden, for them to decide if we could have the small wedding there. We had been denied by 3 separate venues now simply because we were 2 men, despite the laws allowing our marriage. I knew Dean was frustrated, but I just had a feeling that this one would work out. The Botanical Garden's had a butterfly dome, that was my favorite feature. Dean wanted to get married by one of their many ponds but I was fond of the butterflies, and after some arguing and me giving him puppy eyes as he often called them, he gave in and agreed. Suddenly Dean's phone rang, making him jump nearly 2 feet off the ground, I held back the small snicker and watched Dean hurry to grab his phone and answer it, quickly putting it on speaker, "Hello?"
A woman's voice replied, "Hello Mr. Winchester?"
Dean cleared his throat and nodded, "Yes this is he?"
"Hi Mr. Winchester I am calling about your interest in getting married in our butterfly dome?" The woman replied, her voice was nice and chipper so I hoped that she was telling us good news.
Dean took a deep breath before saying, "Yes, did we get the contract?"
"Well Mr. Winchester, after our board discussed things, they have agreed on the terms of the contract that your brother lined up."
Dean stared at the phone with shock, "Really… so.. so that's a yes?"
The woman laughed a little, "Yes sir. You have the butterfly dome booked for 9 am on March 22 2017."
Dean punched the air silently and his tense muscles relaxed a little, "Thank you so much Miss."
The woman laughed, "Your very welcome Mr. Winchester and congratulations"
Dean nodded and then hung up, and spun around and looked at me, and smiled excitedly. "We got it!"
I laughed and got up and hugged him. He laughed and kissed me, wrapping his arms around my waist and then resting his head against mine. I smiled a little, "So now we have 4 months til we can finally get married Dean."
Dean smiled and nodded, and kissing me again. I smiled gently and I heard the door from outside being opened, I smiled and looked up as Sam walked down the stairs with Gabe behind him. Gabe frowned and looked at us, "The hell are you to so excited about…"
I looked at Dean, wanting to give them the good news, and Dean nodded, "The Botanical Gardens called… we got the venue."
Sam's face brightened up, "Oh my God finally! March 22nd this coming year right?"
Dean nodded, "Yep! Finally someplace that will let us fucking get married. I mean serioysly who gives a fuck if we are gay. Oh could you imagine though if they knew I was getting married to a former angel. Oh the uproar"
Sam laughed loudly and rolled his eyes, "I couldn't imagine. Forget people they are all dicks Dean. We should celebrate yeah?"
Dean nodded and then went to the kitchen to get a bottle of alcohol. Since being human I do not very much enjoy alcohol but the Winchesters and Gabe all enjoy it. I got a job 5 months ago and quickly went from cashier to manager. I was apparently very good at the job, so I quickly moved up the ranks, as Dean tells me anyways. The pay is pretty good so it helps out when Dean and Sam cannot afford gas to get back and forth, between hunts. I started to put excess money into a savings account to help pay for the wedding.
