Dean had to catch Cas up on everything since he's been out which really wasn't much. He told Cas about how his story had hit the national news and Cas was pretty shocked. Cas was only awake a few hours when the police came in and began to ask him questions. "The boy Bartholomew told me he needed help with his bike so I followed him then they jumped me," he told them and filled out a report to press charges. "Where are Raphael and Naomi?" Cas questioned when he noticed his two missing relatives. Dean looked troubled at this. "They were here while you were out, but some really important business thing came up and they couldn't get out of it," Gabriel lied smoothly. A small smile grew on Cas's lips. "They came, that's all that matters," he said happily. Dean frowned at Gabriel who gave him a pointed look.
By the time it got dark out Michael brought Anna and Samandriel home to do their homework and get ready for school the following day. Dean stayed seated in the same chair beside Cas's bed the whole time. Now that Cas was awake Gabriel and Balthazar forced Dean into the shower. They brought him clothes from the gift shop, which included a baby blue shirt bearing the hospital's logo and a pair of grey sweat pants. His shower was definitely shorter than it should have been, but no one mentioned it. Since Cas was awake Gabriel and Balthazar decided to sleep in their beds tonight. Well, their own beds at Michael's house. They tried to get Dean to do the same, but he refused. Even when Cas insisted he would be just fine on his own Dean wouldn't leave. Which honestly made Cas quite happy. "So, how're you feeling?" Dean asked when they were alone. "Sore," Cas answered honestly. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you." Cas squeezed Dean's hand, which was still holding onto his. "You can't save everyone, Dean," he told him. "I can try," Dean, said which got a chuckle out of Cas. "I know you will."
They watched some movie for about two hours. The nurse came in a few times to check up on Cas. Dean knew he wasn't really supposed to still be there, but no one said anything about it and he was grateful for that. "Have you been here the entire time?" Cas asked as the credits rolled by on the screen. "Yeah, I never left," Dean told him sheepishly and rubbed the back on his neck embarrassed. A smile grew on Cas's lips. "Thank you, Dean." Dean returned the smile. "No problem man," he replied and allowed himself to marvel at Cas's facial features for just a moment. "Would you like to-um-I mean just so you don't-th-the chair looks very uncomfortable so maybe you would-uh-be more-um-comfortable on the-uh-bed," Cas stumbled out all flustered.
Dean smiled thinking it absolutely adorable. "Sure, if you don't mind," he said. Cas scooted over for him. Dean slid under the covers in the small bed. He put his arm around Cas's shoulder as nonchalantly as he could and pulled him into his chest. Cas rested his head on Dean's shoulder with glowing red cheeks. Dean's were a much less vibrant shade of red, but they were red all the same. Dean lowered his head and gave Cas a peck on the forehead, which only deepened both of their blushes further. "I'm so glad you're okay, Cas," Dean whispered. "Me too," Cas replied. Both being much to comfortable to get up, they pressed the button the call the nurse in to shut off the light. She was an older woman with a warm face. She smiled at the two. "Have a goodnight and call if you need anything," she said before leaving the two. They watched reruns of old shows until they fell asleep in complete and utter contentment.
