Author's Note: I'm actually really happy that many of you showed concern for Dean's new status and Cas' new power over Dean. It's going to be a processes for the both of them to learn how to deal with their new standings. I also had a small question, are my chapters too short? If they are I could mix both Cas and Dean into the same chapter and just use a line to separate them. I would love your thoughts on this. Now, I wanted to thank all of those who reviewed and those who alerted me! XD
Castiel had used his grace that was in Dean to help him drift off to sleep. Once he was sure his mate was asleep he lifted him up and brought him back indoors, placing him back in his makeshift bed and tucking him in. Castiel didn't know what to do next. His mate was sleeping and he had thrown the food he brought to the floor in his frantic search for Dean. He walked towards him, eyes going soft as he noticed how beautiful and warm his mate is. He seemed to be getting stronger. His soul was expanding, the heat he radiated was trying to find his loved ones, trying to protect them even as he slept.
A flutter of wings was heard and Cas threw himself in front of Dean, picking up a shotgun he had taken from the impala and pointed towards the sound. He only relaxed slightly when he saw Anna was the angel that appeared. "Has he woken yet?" Castiel had to force himself not to overreact to her worry, Anna had her chance with Dean already and wouldn't be stupid enough to try and take his mate away.
"He has and he will need food soon. Would you make a food run for me and get Dean some cherry pie. I would like some as well if you please… And chocolate chip cookies." Anna tried not to giggle at his and Dean's meal. "Sure thing hun, hang on. I have to take care of a few things, then I'll bring you two your… Food." With a flutter of wings she was gone. Castiel put the shotgun down and turned back to Dean.
"I am not sure that I like the thought of Anna near you. We will limit her visiting times. She seems very determined to see you." He spoke to Dean's sleeping form.
He suddenly felt lost. He shouldn't be so upset by Anna. He has always trusted Anna to lead him, to make sure he knew what to do next. Did becoming Dean's mate really change him so quickly? He knew that the answer was yes, but he didn't want to admit it; it was probably some of Dean's epic denial abilities.
Dean opened his eyes slowly. "What the hell?" He mumbled. Castiel placed a hand on Dean's face and Dean quickly moved away. "Stop right there. We need to chat." Castiel tilted his head slightly, reminding Dean of a lost puppy. "Don't think what happened out there is going to happen all the time! That was a fluke. Don't know what you did to me, but it's going to stop."
The half-angel didn't know if he should be amused by Dean's forced macho-man reply, or be upset by the fact that his mate was trying to tell him what to do. "Dean, you are the submissive. There is no way to change that I alr-" Dean sat up quikly, realizing that he hadn't already, closing his eyes briefly, trying to remove the sudden headache. "You should move that quickly so soon." Dean just glared. "Since when do I listen to what is suppose to happen?" Castiel returned the glare and his hand reached out and curled around the back of Dean's neck and squeezed, not hard enough to kill, but enough so that the pain would stop is talking.
Shocked, Dean just stayed still, eyes wide. "Please stop talking. Look, I don't know why-" There was a flutter of wings and Castiel growled. "Why am I constantly being interrupted. Next person to speak while I am will be punished." Anna giggled softly. "I'm sorry Cas, but I've got your food." Dean smiled. "PIE!" Anna walked towards them but stopped when she noticed her brother's possessive stance. "Here." Castiel took the food and passed Dean an entire pie and a fork.
Dean became completely focused on his pie, eating it vigorously, he felt like he hadn't eaten in days. Anna pulled Cas away slightly. "It seems that I didn't make things very clear. Dean isn't the only one who has to get use to this. You do too. You may be able to force your will onto Dean, but that wont make him happy. You have to learn how to control yourself. Power makes it easy to be curroupted brother. It's a painful thing to watch, and Dean will be the one to suffour the most."
"He will not suffer if I am protecting him." Anna shook her head sadly. "You have all of the knowledge of emotions, but it seems that you still don't understand how humans work… Pain is not only physical. If you keep him locked up than he'll never be truly happy; and you'll become something dark. I beg of you brother. Don't loose your angel self to your human side."
With those words Anna left, leaving Castiel confused and angry. She shouldn't know more about her mate than him. He wanted to be rashional about this, but his anger and need to have Dean as his own was much stronger. He turned back towards Dean, glare in place, only to soften. Dean had finished his pie and had the most amazingly innocent and carefree face he had ever seen on him. He suddenly noticed that this is the Dean he never got to meet. The Dean before Hell; the Dean that he watched over since he was 18. He smiled largely as he saw Dean look over to him, confused. "What?" Castiel shook his head and offered Dean his pie as well. "Here, I don't need to eat daily." Dean took the pie happily. Castiel simply took his cookies and began eat.
b Well there you go. I hope that all of you enjoyed this chapter. Castiel doesn't want to except the fact that eventually he'll have to share Dean. I can't wait to write the get together between Sam, Cas, and Dean. I can't wait! The amount of jelousy that is going to be flying around makes me slightly giddy. XD Is that a bad thing? Please review! b/
