"So, Cas slept in your bed again last night"

"Yea"

"I thought he was going to sleep in his own bed last night" Sam asks

"So did I...What?"

"Nothing" Sam replies

Dean looks at him

"It's just...I've never known you to sleep in the same bed with anyone this long without wanting to sleep with them"

Dean takes a sip of his coffee and looks away

"Unless...oh I see"

"What?" asks Dean?

"I mean I always knew you too were close"

"Wha...don't be silly, Sam" Dean tells him

"No, you...you love him"

"He is like a brother to me" Dean says

"Nah, you're in love with him. And don't give me that 'I'm not gay' crap. Because you and I both know when it's love it's love"

"You think I'm..."

"Are you going to tell me I'm wrong?" Sam cuts him off

Dean looks at the door

"Don't worry he is asleep, I checked" Sam tells him

"I... (Sighs)...can't deny it anymore. Yes I'm in love with my best friend."

"So what's the problem?" Sam asks

"He's an angel"

"So...is this about him being..."

"Male? No trust me I've gotten over that fact a long time ago" Dean tells him

"A long time? Was it love at first sight?"

"Pretty sure it was, yea" Dean replies

"Still not seeing a good enough reason why not" Sam says

"He's an angel" Dean replies

"You said that. And?"

"It just feels wrong. Like having a relationship with a priest"

"Dean, our lives are not normal look what we do. I was in love with a Demon for God's sake."

3 weeks later

Sam and Dean come back from yet another hunt

"Ah, I'm exhausted"

"Where's Dean?" asks Cas

"Parking the car" Sam replies "You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders"

"Not the world, although it feels like it" Cas replies

Dean walks in

"Do I smell what I think I do?"

"Cas made pie" Sam tells him

"Was that hard to learn?" Dean asks him

"Uh...no"

Cas motions all the burnt pies on the side

"(laughs) did you...have you been here all day" Sam asks

"More or less"

"I bet you didn't sleep last night"

"What can I say cooking distresses me"

Cas puts a slice of pie in front of Dean

"Um, this is amazing"

"Good, I'm glad" Cas replies

Cas puts a slice of pie in front of Sam

"Thanks"

"Cas?"

Cas turns to face Dean

"You ok?" Dean asks

"Fine" Cas lies

"You sure?" Dean asks

"Yea, I think I'm just...I'm just tired"

Dean gives him a 'not convinced' look

"Really... actually I think I might go lie down"

5 hours later

"Where you going, Cas?"

"Dean, you scared me" Cas jumps

"You didn't answer my question"

"Just thought I'd ...visit the shops" Cas replies

"At this time?"

Cas looks away

"Talk to me"

"I can't..."

"Metatron?" Dean asks

"No nothing like that" Cas tells him

"Whatever it is, it will be fine. " Dean tells him

"You can't really promise that"

"Well you can't zap anywhere so, way I see it you have two choices. Tell me or we die in this kitchen"

Silence

"Cas, what can't you tell me" Dean asks

"(Sighs) I'm afraid I've been having some...Inappropriate thoughts"

"Inappropriate like...bad" Dean asks

"Never ...it's the other thing"

"The other...Oh, right"

"Yea, so I'm going to leave now and you'll never have to see me again"

Cas gets up

"Cas, wait"

"I don't think there's anything more to say" Cas tells him

"Maybe not"

Dean leans forward

"You kissed me"

"It's not inappropriate if the other person feels the same way"

"You do?"

Dean leans forward again

Sam walks in

"Hey"

"What's going on?" asks Dean

"Bobby needs to see us" Sam tells him

"Why?"

"I don't know he said it was urgent...come on"

"Right, yea"

Sam goes out the door

"Cas..."

"I'll be here" Cas tells him

Cas kisses Dean

"I promise I'm not going anywhere now."
