A/N: Well... Sorry for the nearly 1 week wait. I've still been working on Chapter 6. I've hit a few bumps in the road with it, but I think I got past them. Which means, that chapter should be long. Key-word Should. I usually use a word count generator when I finish every chapter to make sure it meets my minimum/maximum standards. And those words counted are before I write the Author's note.

Anyway, I'll stop ranting now.

Happy 4th of July everyone!


Chapter 5:

When Dean finally awoke, there were two things he noticed.

One, his back hurt like hell from sitting up, sleeping with his back resting on the cage.

Two, he could feel a heavy sensation on his chest. As if someone were sitting on it.

Well, he wasn't far off.

When he finally opened his eyes, they were met with a lock of black matted hair, some of it tickling his neck.

He then looked down further, to see the sleeping Alpha resting comfortably against his chest.

Well, at least one of them were comfortable.

After a few minutes, he was highly debating waking him up and telling him to get off, but... As he continued to observe those peaceful features, he couldn't bring himself to.

Dean sighed, resting his head against the bars again, 'Great.'

He really wanted to get up and stretch his tightened muscles.

'Great what? How's he doing?' Gabriel suddenly spoke up.

Dean slightly jumped, not noticing he might have sent that through the mind link.

'Uhhh... He's good.' Dean said.

'That's not comforting Dean. Did he drink the blood? Did it help?' Gabriel asked.

'Yeah. It did. He's... Slowly recovering. He's asleep right now. I think that's best for him to do right now.' Dean said, glancing down at him again.

Gabriel sighed through the link, 'Good. Now, can I lecture you on your recent behavior?'

'No. You can't.' Dean said, rolling his eyes.

'Fine. I won't. But I will warn you, hurt him like you did, again. I swear if we ever get out of here...'

'Yeah. You'll kill me. You've been saying that a lot lately. Do you know that?' Dean said.

'Well, you've acted like a complete asshole since we came here. You've been treating Cas like crap, and why he hasn't gone after you is beyond me. Probably because he cares about you.' Gabriel said.

Dean's eyes lowered in confusion, glancing down at Castiel again.

'Yeah. Bet you had your head so stuck up your ass you didn't consider how he felt? Well guess what Deano. He cares about you. He's always cared about you. I just hate that it's had to come from me and not him. You've scared him into feeling ashamed to even tell you.' Gabriel said.

Dean was silent, still not responding.

Ever since Castiel drank his blood, he had been overcome by emotions, and he could only define some of them as his.

'Dean.' Gabriel spoke up again.

'Yeah. I get it. I gotta go. He's starting to wake up.' Dean said before breaking the mind link.

He wasn't lying. The Alpha was slowly stirring against him, his blue eyes opening drowsily.

Dean made no movements, letting him come to on his on.

Castiel glanced down at the body he had been resting against, before they lifted to meet Dean's.

His eyes widened slightly, and he sat up, making some distance from him.

"I am sorry, Dean. I didn't realize-"

"It's fine." Dean broke him off calmly, "I'm... Glad you got some sleep."

Castiel looked over at him, "Dean... I just want to say. I'm sor-"

"Cas. Stop. You shouldn't have to be. I should be the one apologizing." Dean said.

Castiel gave him that familiar look of confusion.

Dean sighed, "I... I haven't treated you... The way I should be. I'd blame it on the Heat, but... It's me. I overreacted- Actually, overreacted is an understatement. I should have listened and not jumped to assumptions."

"Dean-"

"Cas. Let me talk, please." Dean said calmly.

Castiel shut his mouth, granting him the permission.

Dean sighed again, "Anyway. In spite of all that. I am sorry. And I mean that, and I don't expect you to forgive me. I just-"

"Dean." Castiel spoke up again, forcing his attention.

Dean glanced over at him, his dark blue eyes were so full of emotion it made Dean's chest flutter.

"Shut up." Castiel continued, before suddenly closing the distance between them, pulling the Omega down by the hair, crushing their lips together.

Dean tensed at the sudden movement, and for a second, he thought the Alpha was finally going to unleash the anger he had probably kept contained for so long.

However, when he felt his lips caress his, he almost moaned in relief.

Castiel pulled away as soon as he had started, staring up at the Omega with nervous eyes, hoping he hadn't angered him all over again.

When he saw no signs of that expression, he leaned forward, pressing his lips gently against Dean's again.

He got some sort of a reply this time.

Dean's lips replying to his, cautiously kissing him back.

Castiel's hand slid down from his hair, caressing the back of his neck, bringing himself closer to the Winchester.

He slowly deepened the kiss, which caused Dean to gasp into his mouth, a million emotions filling his body at once.

Finally, he reached up to caress the Alpha's cheek, replying to the kiss more fervently now.

Their breaths began to pick up at the same time, and Castiel's tongue lightly began poking at Dean's lips.

He immediately granted him entry, and his whole body sparked with intense need for more, as the tongue took over his mouth, making him unleash a moan for the first time.

Castiel replied to him by letting out his own moan, especially as the Omega's tongue began to reply to his.

Finally, he pulled away, only to make a heated path down to his neck, eagerly kissing and sucking on the delicious skin.

Dean gasped out, whimpering lightly, baring his neck to him out of pure habit.

Which, Castiel was grateful for, his teeth carefully grazing his neck, resisting any urge to just mark him here and now.

"C-Cas." Dean panted out, reaching up to fist his hand into his hair, pushing the Alpha even closer to his neck, practically begging him to take it further.

Castiel growled lowly, trying his best to control the urge.

Not yet. Not here.

He wanted that moment to be special. Treasured.

And he wanted to have the Omegan under him, writhing in ecstasy as he did so.

Screw the rules, Dean was his and his alone.

Finally, his lips calmed against his neck, slowly pulling away from him.

Dean's eyes opened slightly, staring at him, wondering why he had stopped.

Castiel leaned forward, resting his forehead against Dean's.

"Patience, mate." He whispered.

Dean's eyes widened slightly, his heart nearly stopping at the word, his breath suddenly betraying him.

Castiel lowered his eyes at the Omega, confused by his change of emotions.

"Are you... Crying?" He asked curiously.

Dean blinked, adverting his gaze somewhere else.

"Dean-"

"Why would you call me that?" He asked.

Castiel's nerves picked up again, feeling as though he had somehow betrayed him again.

"Why- After everything I've done to you? You should be more willing to hate me than call me that." Dean said, for the first time, letting his vulnerability show.

Castiel stared at him incredulously, before a sense of anger overcame him.

He forcefully grabbed the Omega's chin, forcing him to meet his eyes.

"Dean. Winchester. How dare you say that to me. I would do anything to keep you safe. I'd rather die and burn in the pits of hell than hate you." Castiel said.

Dean stared into the Alpha's intense blue eyes.

He'd never heard him say something like that. To anyone.

"Do you hear me? I felt connected to you the moment I first met you. You were my destined mate, I just didn't make a move because of the strict Pack rules. Now, things have changed. I don't care about the laws. I can change them if I have to. I want you. And only you." Castiel finally let out everything he had wanted to say since the very beginning.

Dean stared at him, deep in thought about the sudden.

"Dean. Will you accept? Will you be mine?" Castiel asked.

Dean was at a loss for words, still trying to recover from his last speech.

Since words couldn't work, he forced his head to work, slowly moving up and down in a compelled nod.

Castiel smiled lightly, releasing the Omega's chin, only to gently caress his cheek.

He moved in to kiss the Winchester once more.

However, just as their lips were mere inches from one another, the sound of a door to the building opened.

Castiel snapped his head around to the sound of the intruder.

It was another human, their identity hidden to from them.

It seemed too early for them to give them another meal.

The human stopped before the cage, seeming to observe the two.

The observation seemed to go longer than necessary.

Castiel growled lowly, moving until he blocked Dean from their view.

"Who are you? Show yourself, you damn coward." He demanded.

Another moment of silence went on between them.

Finally, the human slowly reached up to remove the hood shielding her face.

A female was revealed.

A female human with long, straight red hair.
