All mistakes are mine 'cuz I'm human, and I'm prone to mistakes. Even in the intros, I make mistakes, and it makes me feel so stupid. Any who! Allons-y!

Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural, or any of its characters. Satisfied, world?

Castiel wakes up, feeling better than he could remember. He was still store, but his wound had healed greatly. He turns to stare at Dean, who's sleeping on the couch aside. Castiel gives a grunt as he sits up and then sighs. Surprisingly Lucifer hadn't appeared yet. Usually Lucifer would be hounding at him constantly, but the Devil was nowhere. Castiel watches as Dean yawns and wakes up.

"Mornin' Cas," Dean says, rubbing his eyes. "Rest well?"

"I did, thank you," Castiel says. "How about you?"

"I managed a couple of hours," Dean says and then goes to sit by Castiel. "I stayed up most of the night watching you."

Castiel stares at Dean. "Why?"

"I wanted to make sure nothing happened to you," Dean says.

"Things are surprisingly calm," Castiel says, staring at his hands. "I'm wondering if Lucifer is planning something."

"Well, we're ending this today," Dean says. "So, be glad Lucifer isn't popping around."

Castiel nods and then glances at Dean.

"What?" Dean asks, staring back.

"What is the purpose of hugs?" Castiel asks.

Dean snorts. "Well, it's a comfort thing really," Dean says. "Why, you want one?"

Castiel contemplates an answer before nodding meekly. "I know you are not one for chick-flick moments."

Dean pauses and then smiles as he wraps his arms around his angel. "I can make exceptions."

Castiel sighs and relaxes in Dean's arms-it was comforting. He lays his head on Dean's shoulder, and they stay like that until Sam comes in through the door.

"I got everything you needed," Sam says, setting the bag of supplies on the table before turning around. "Um…Dean?"

"We're in meditating zone Sam," Dean says. "Try again later."

Dean hears Sam scoffs and head into the kitchen. Dean chuckles and Castiel smiles hearing Dean.

"You ready for this?" Dean asks, resting his head on Castiel's.

"I believe so," Castiel replies.

Dean and Castiel get up from the couch and then head to the kitchen. "Hey Sammy. Ready?"

"I am," Sam says, putting a beer on the table. "Are you two?"

Dean opens his mouth to say something but closes it, choosing instead to check out the bag of ingredients.

"Hello, brother," Lucifer says, standing behind Castiel, who jumps at the Devi's presence. "Thought I took a vacation? Sorry to disappoint you. I would miss you too much."

Castiel lets out a shaky breath.

"You know that voice you have?" Lucifer asks. "He's quite a generous fellow."

Castiel stares at the refrigerator thought he felt himself start to shake in panic.

"We made a deal," Lucifer says. "Kinda."

Castiel turns to Dean, wanting to say something but Lucifer holds him back. "I get to hurt anybody I want, thanks to the voice's power," Lucifer says. "In return, he gets control over you when I decide."

Castiel's breathing falters and the angel almost falls over.

"Exciting news, isn't it?" Lucifer asks and then laughs. "Guess when I said the party was?"

"No," Castiel whispered and then shook his head at the pain. "Dean."

Dean and Sam turn around at Castiel's voice. "Cas?" Dean asks, rushing to his angel's side. "What's happening?"

"Lucifer," Castiel gasps. "Deal. With another. He can hurt us."

"It's Lucifer's doing?" Dean says. "Wait-what about this other?"

"It's a voice," Castiel says, shaking his head again. "That I hear… before I black out."

"Like those two times," Dean says, eyes wide. "Can't you resist him? You did before."

Castiel hisses. "It's different this time. You need to go."

"The Hell I will!" Dean growls. "I'm staying with you."

"I'll hurt you," Castiel whispers, blue eyes wide with fear. "Worse, I'll kill you. I won't be able to live with myself."

Dean places his hands on Castiel's face. "One, I won't die," Dean says firmly. "Two, you better make sure you fight whatever this is."

Castiel nods, shaking from already trying to fight off the voice.

C'mon Cas, the Voice says. We got work to do.

Dean stares at Castiel and then kisses him on the lips. "For luck," Dean whispers, staring into the angel's eyes.

"I'll keep you in my heart and mind," Castiel whispers back.

Dean nods. "Sam, hurry up and let's set this up!" Dean starts to turn, but pauses when Castiel speaks.

"Dean," Castiel says. "I'm sorry for anything I'm about to do."

A/N: Annnnd, end chapter! It's short, I know. But I think it's a good chapter. What are your thoughts?

BTW: OMG! THE FREAKING PROMO FOR 7x21! It's obvious Castiel's lost it ): The way he looks happy about telling Dean to "pull his finger" breaks my heart. But I can't help but laugh everytime I hear him laugh at the end-I mean, when did Castiel ever laugh?

Well, allons-y!

Until next time! *salutes*
