Dinner had just ended, presenting a new problem: where would Gabriel sleep? After much debate it was decided he would sleep in Castiel's room. Castiel would sleep with Dean, an idea Gabriel was suddenly not too fond of. After it was settled and each was in their respective room for the night, Castiel slipped under the covers next to Dean. He wondered if Dean still wanted "victory sex" or if that was being put off for another day. "Did you read my letter?" Castiel asked. Silence. "The one from Gabriel." Castiel clarified, in case of any confusion there might be.
"Well it was glowing in my face while you read it so I didn't really have a choice." Dean said suddenly defensive.
"I was just curious. I don't mind." Castiel said. "Although there is one more thing." Castiel added. He had to tell Dean about the deer.
"Ok...?" Dean said wondering what Cas was talking about. It was hard for him to think with sleep so near.
"I...got the does. For the competition." Castiel confessed.
"Before or after you helped Sammy?" Dean asked, suddenly alert.
"I helped Sam before I was asked to get the does. They only asked me the day before the competition." Castiel said. He hated this. Dean was mad at him and he was feeling defensive. His walls were closing him off. Emotional disconnection. "I'm sorry." Castiel said as he rushed from the room. Before anything else could happen he ran as fast as his skinny legs could carry him. By the time he got there, not knowing where there was, he was out of breath and completely exhausted. He pushed open the door and slipped inside before Dean could catch him.
"Cas?" Dean called from the hall.
"Hush! We're trying to sleep here!" Hissed the paintings on the walls. Castiel prayed they didn't give him up.
"Shut up." Dean snapped at them. "Cas!" Dean hollered as he raced down another hall. Castiel sighed in relief at the sound of retreating footsteps only to have his breath catch again as light filled the room.
"Brother." Gabriel said from the bed with a smirk.
