Castiel's Dream.
Chapter Four.
Bobby, Dean and Castiel sat at Bobby's kitchen table while Sam made breakfast. Bobby sat reading the paper, Dean and Cas sat very close talking low to each other. The sound of wings filled the room causing them to look confused as Cas was already here and he was their only regular angel visitor. Gabriel stood there suddenly "Hey Sammy. Any luck yet?" he asked.
Sam gave the angel a blank look but didn't get to answer him cause Gabe had turned around "Cassie! When did you get back?" he virtually squealed as he bounced over to his brother, hugging him tight.
Dean frowned and said "Cas hasn't been anywhere, are you on drugs Gabriel?"
It was Gabe's turn to frown "Sam…what have I been helping you with the last six weeks?" he asked.
"Nothing Gabe. We haven't seen you" replied Sam.
Gabriel looks at Cas and frowns hard "What have you done Castiel?"
A guilty look creeps over Cas's face but he said defiantly "I…I had to Gabriel. I couldn't go on without him"
"Oh Cassie. Does father know you did this?" replied Gabe.
"What the fuck is going on here?" demanded Dean.
Both angels look at him, Gabriel looks to Castiel, shakes his head and vanishes. Castiel sighs deeply, turning to his hunter he lays a hand on Dean's shoulder and they vanish leaving Sam and Bobby to wonder what had just happened.
Cas took them to a private place knowing Dean wouldn't want his brother or Bobby to hear this conversation. He let go of his hunter and stepped back.
"Spill it Cas" Dean said.
He couldn't look at Dean as he said "You haven't always loved me Dean".
"What? Of course I have" said the hunter.
"Please Dean here me out. You liked me as a friend that's all. I….I did something to make you feel this way about me. I re-wrote the script so you'd feel for me what I feel for you. I'm sorry Dean…I love you so deeply I…I wanted to die without you" Cas sobbed as he slumped to the ground.
The hunter had never been so shocked, he didn't know what to say, do, think or feel. He did know that seeing his angel so upset drove rusty nails through his heart…wait, were these his feelings or one's he'd been given ? Shit ! Then an idea struck him and he asked "Cas, when did you do this? And why did your brother ask Sammy about the last six weeks?".
"I have only recently changed things. I must have been hiding for six weeks before that though…I lost track" the angel replied.
"Gabriel get your feathery ass down here now" yelled Dean.
A flutter of wings and the other angel appeared.
"You called?" he asked with a grin.
"Why do remember and we don't?" asked Dean.
Gabriel shrugs "Angel thing I guess".
"So you can tell your dumb ass brother what I was actually doing the last six weeks then?" said Dean.
"Yeah of course. You were driving us all nuts, pushing yourself to exhaustion looking for Castiel. You beat the stuffing out of every demon you could find trying to find out what happened to him. Hell we almost had to force feed you most days" said Gabriel realising where the hunter was going with this. He could see the absolute shock on Castiel's face.
"Now tell me I love you cause you did a fucking rewrite Cas" snapped Dean.
"I think that's my cue" said Gabe as he vanished.
Castiel sat staring at Dean.
"Well?" said the hunter.
"I looked. There was nothing…I…found no affection for me in your mind" blurted Cas.
Dean gave an exasperated sigh and sat down in the grass with his angel.
"When did you last look Cas?" he asked.
"Months ago" admitted the angel.
"How deep did you look?" asked Dean.
Castiel frowned and tilted his head. Dean shook his.
"Cas, I tend to keep stuff hidden even from myself. My way of not getting hurt I guess. Hide my true feelings away deep inside so they can't be used against me. I didn't know if it was ok to feel this way about an angel so I buried it, I'm sorry" explained Dean.
Castiel began to cry so the hunter pulled him close and held him tight, whispering "It's ok Cas, I've got you".
"I should have looked deeper" sobbed the angel.
A booming voice rings through the air "Yes, child you should have".
"Father?" asks Cas as he turns his tear streaked face up to the sky.
"Yes, Castiel I am here. You've been in my office" stated the voice.
"Yes father I have and I'm sorry" replied Cas.
"Do not be, child. I am sorry I wasn't there at the time. This whole mess was not supposed to happen. What you read was not what I had written for you child, it was what had been. You recognised it as a dream you had, had didn't you?" said the voice.
"Yes father I did" admitted Cas.
"Do not fret Castiel, love makes us do stupid things. I am not angry with you…no damage was done just minor things I now have to adjust" stated the voice.
"Thank you father. I am truly sorry" said the angel.
"Yes my child, I know. I love you Castiel, what will make you my happy angel again?" asked the voice as if it didn't already know.
"I…think I already have it father" said Cas, glancing at his hunter.
"Dean Winchester, hide your feelings for my angel ever again and I will come down there and smite you personally" boomed the voice with a touch of humour.
"Done. While you're here there is one thing I wanted to ask you?" replied Dean.
"Oh and what would that be?" asked the voice.
"I want to marry Cas. Is that cool with you?" stated Dean.
"Dean" gasped Castiel.
"Yes, that is cool with me but remember my warning hunter" answered the voice.
"I will…oh and thanks" said the hunter.
"For what" asked the voice.
"Castiel loving me" replied Dean with a grin.
A deep bass chuckle echoed through the sky and was gone.
Castiel turned to Dean and asked "You want to marry me?".
"More than anything I've ever wanted baby" replied the hunter as he wrapped his arms around his angel. "So will you marry me Cas?".
"Yes Dean, yes of course I will" said Cas in delight.
They kiss tenderly then sit there for awhile enjoying the moment.
