Dean's POV
After coming back from the kitchen I gave Sam and Gabe a glass of bourbon, I noticed how quiet Cas had gotten. It used to worry me but I could tell by the small smile on his face that he was thinking about our life together so far. The past 5 months have been slow as far as hunting goes, Gabe and I have been getting along much better despite him being as annoying as hell, but Sam tends to calm that down in him. Cas and I haven't had to many serious arguments thankfully, but it was also sort of making me nervous because I tended to fuck everything up. I walked over to Cas and wrapped an arm around him, making him break out of his thoughts and he smiled a little, "Are you feeling better Dean?"
I rolled my eyes, "It frustrates me Cas. I mean it's legal now, and who gives a fuck who I fuck in the privacy of my bedroom you know?"
Gabe nodded, "Amen to that."
I laughed at the irony, but looked at Cas who was back in his head again. I gently nudged his side and whispered in his ear, "Hey what's got you in your head so much today?"
Cas shook his head a little, "I don't know Dean. I am going to go take a nap, I have to work tonight"
I nodded and kissed his head then watched him go to our room, Gabe could read Cas' thoughts and he looked at me. "You may want to go talk to him"
I nodded and went after Cas, who was already in bed with the light off. I carefully slipped out of my jeans and slipped into bed with him, wrapping an arm gently around his waist, "Hey… are you okay Cas?"
Cas sighed heavily, but cuddled into me. "Yes Dean I am fine"
I rolled my eyes and ran my hand gently through his hair, "Cas if there is anyone I know how to read really well it's you. C'mon talk to me"
Cas closed his eyes, biting his lip and sort of buried his face in my chest, "I don't know Dean… honestly I was fine, but I just couldn't get out of my head. Plus I need to go to sleep because I have to work tonight and you were happy so I was trying to just let you be happy…"
I sighed a little and hugged him gently, softly stroking his hair. "Okay Cas, close your eyes and go to sleep. I will wake you up at 4 so you can shower and we can get you something to eat okay."
Cas nodded a little bit, and buried his nose further into my chest and started to fall asleep. It wasn't long before his breathing evened out and he fell asleep. After checking the time to see it was about 12:30, I set the alarm for 4 pm so I could make sure Cas would be able to get up in time for his night shift. A couple weeks ago he started managing the night shift, he would work from 7 pm to 5 am. Recently it had put a little strain on our relationship, especially when I had to leave for hunts but we had mostly worked things out. After a few hours the alarm went off and my phone and I nudged Cas awake, despite his grumbling he slowly got up and ran his hands through his hair, "I'm going to go take a shower"
I nodded and kissed his head before getting up, "Alright then, I am going to go make something for you to eat"
Cas nodded, before getting up and going to the bathroom. I faintly heard the shower starting, so I got up to make Cas some dinner and something to eat when he had his break. I had just finished cooking dinner when Cas came in wearing his uniform, and sat down at the table. I set his plate in front of him, and then sat down across from him while he ate, he tilted his head curiously "Dean? Is something wrong?"
I laughed and shook my head, "Nah just thinking about how much I am going to miss you tonight."
Cas rolled his eyes and smiled playfully, then got up and put his plate in the sink. He leaned down and whispered in my ear, "We still have an hour before I need to leave"
I bit my lip and looked up at him, he smirked and nodded, then he took my hand. Cas pulled me back to my room and we had wonderful, quick, sloppy sex before a quick shower to clean each other up and Cas got dressed and left in a hurry. Since the cars in the bunker were all still functioning I had told Cas to pick any car, and he chose the motor cycle, which honestly surprised me but it was his favorite. After Cas had left I made my way back to the kitchen, then called for Sam and Gabe so they could eat the dinner I had made. Last week we had decided that while Cas was on night shift, before he went to work he and I would have dinner by ourselves so we could have time alone. Gabe came in first, with Sam following, "So what's for dinner tonight Dean?"
I rolled my eyes, "Well maybe if you sat down and shut up you'd find out"
Sam laughed a little, "Okay then"
I made up their plates, with spaghetti and bolognaise sauce. Sam and Gabe both started eating, I rolled my eyes and cleaned up everything, putting the leftover's in containers, then in the fridge. Around 9pm I glanced at my phone, only slightly worried because normally Cas would text me when he got to work, but I just figured the gas station had been busy, which occasionally happened. I was almost asleep when I heard Gabe pounding on my door, "Dean! Dean wake up!"
I heard the panic in his voice and got up quickly and opened the door, Gabe's eyes were panicked and I could tell something was wrong. "What? What is it Gabe?"
The hospital in Lebanon just called me… Cas got hit by a car on his way to work." Gabe said hurriedly.
My eyes widened and my stomach felt as if it was in my throat, "W…what?"
Gabe nodded, "We gotta go. They didn't call asap because they were busy trying to get him stable. He is in the ICU in critical condition…"
I felt my chest tighten and part of me wanted to just collapse but I quickly grabbed my jacket and the keys to the impala. By the time I got to the garage Sam was already waiting and he took the keys from me, "You are not driving like this Dean"
I wanted to argue but I knew that right now I was in no condition to drive. My whole body was shaking and I just couldn't calm down. Sam guided me into the backseat and I sat there quietly, I couldn't cry right now because Cas would need me to be strong. The drive to the hospital was a haze, a nurse lead us up to the ICU waiting room and only 2 people could be allowed in at a time, so Sam told Gabriel to go with me. The nurse was talking, warning us on his injuries on how bad he looked but none of it seemed to enter my head. As soon as I walked through that door the dam broke and I let out a sob, I felt my legs give out from under me but then I felt arms catch me and guide me to the chair next to Cas' bed. Cas's face was paler than I had ever seen it, he had road burn on his chest and arms, they were breathing for him and he had so many wires hooked up to him it scared me. The doctor came in and nodded to Gabe then looked at me, "You are his fiancé correct?"
I nodded, I forced myself to actually answer the doctor. "Yes I am."
The doctor nodded and looked over Cas, "I believe my nurse said she told you all this information but you didn't appear to be listening. So I am going to explain this to you, and you can ask anything you need to Mr. Winchester". This time instead of answering I just nodded, the doctor continued, "Castiel was in an accident involving another vehicle, the driver hit Mr. Novak with his car when he was changing lanes, Mr. Novak was forced off his motorbike at a speed of 55 mph, his motorcycle was forced underneath the other car and Mr. Novak was forced onto the road. He broke multiple ribs, and his left arm some of the bones were shattered, his lung collapsed on the way to the hospital. Luckily he was wearing his helmet, and truthfully that may be the one thing that saves his life. His left leg was also severly broken and his spinal cord was partially severed to the impact that he hit the ground."
As soon as the doctor said his spinal cord was partially severed I worried about mobility, "W…will he walk?"
The doctor sighed, "We aren't sure. We won't be able to know until he wakes up, and for now we are keeping him in a medically induced coma to help his body heal. As his condition stabilizes we will do surgery to put plates and wires in his arm and leg. We couldn't do it immeadietly because his condition was so unstable. If you have any more questions Mr. Winchester please don't hesitate to ask them"
I nodded a little, but the moment the doctor said heal I looked at Gabe. Once the doctor was gone Gabe shut the door and went over to Cas, he put his hands on Cas but there was no familiar glow and Gabe's face twisted in anger. "Are you kidding me?"
I looked at Gabe, "What? Why can't you heal him?"
Gabe shook his head, "Dad won't let me fully heal him. All I can do is stabilize his condition…"
I let out a choked sob and closed my eyes tightly. "W…why?"
Gabe shook his head, "Because… Cas is human… and Dad is all about fairness to humans… not many humans have an angel on stanby"
I felt my face twist in confusion, "What about all the times Cas healed us when we got hurt on a hunt?"
Gabe sighed, "You were saving people… Cas just got hurt like a regular human…."
I felt my chest tighten more and I closed my eyes crying. "Then stabilize him"
Gabe nodded and the familiar warm glow radiated from his hands, Cas' vitals went normal and I closed my eyes. Soon the doctors and nurses came in checking over everything before taking him back into surgery. As the doctor left he mumbled, "That's a miracle"
I laughed bitterly, it should have been more of a miracle but Gabe wasn't being allowed to heal Cas completely.
