Castiel woke up an hour later.
"You alright back there Cas?" Dean called over his shoulder, trying (but failing) to keep his eyes on the road because he knew how Sam got about that kind of thing. However, he was asleep and couldn't stop him so Dean allowed himself a few glances back. Castiel rubbed his shoulder and sighed. "No. No…I don't think I am Dean. Where are we going?" Dean took the hint that Cas didn't want to talk about the current situation and left it. "Bobby's. I meant what I said, we're gunna fix this and if any one knows how it'll be Bobby. We'll be there soon, don't worry." He said, still stretching round to see Cas' reaction to his words (He liked to see people's faces when he spoke to them, part of being a hunter, maybe?). Cas was silent and seemed to find the floor of the impala very interesting.
Dean wasn't going to push it, he wasn't Sam, (who had fallen asleep against the window, frickin girl) he didn't know what to do or say in emotional situations other than open a bottle of whatever booze was closest. "How do you deal with it?" came a quiet voice from the back seat. The hunter raised an eyebrow. "Deal with what?"
"Being so…slow? We've been driving for hours, yet we still aren't there? Why won't this thing go faster?" Dean sighed. He'd known, that at some point, Cas was going to get pissed with the whole humans-can't-zap-around thing but he'd been praying it would of happened when they were closer to Bobby's. He nearly laughed. Praying? As if anyone actually gave a rat's ass! "Well, I suppose we don't know any better. This is as fast as humans generally go, unless you count flying – in a plane- which we don't do because it's evil." He said, trying to sound factual.
Cas seemed to mull it over for a minute before replying "You dislike flying?" it was said with such surprise (and was that disappointment he heard in the angel's tone?) that Dean laughed - a proper laugh, not a fake one for Sam's benefit, but a real tears-in-your-eyes laugh. He looked back just in time to see the confused head tilt and tried to suppress his laughter so he could explain. "You could say that but I don't think dislike is a strong enough word. Hate, maybe. Hate's always a good one." He managed, when he had just about controlled himself. "Last time I was on a plane it was gunna crash. I exorcised a demon mid-air, it was terrifying, but you shoulda seen the food!" he laughed, even though he knew the joke was hideously awful. He could tell that Cas was upset over the fact he couldn't fly anymore and Dean couldn't stand to see him upset. Ever.
Castiel could tell that the joke was Dean's ever so human way of lightening the mood and smiled slightly. Looking in his mirror, the hunter saw it and smiled back. Maybe things would be ok, they were together and for the moment, not being attacked. They would get Cas his mojo back and save the world.
For that smile, Dean would crack terrible jokes about plane food and mother in laws all day.
A/N I know, ok? Nothing is going on? Don't worry shits gunna go down when they get to Bobby's. I swear. ANYWAY…I love you guys. I know I said it last time but I love you more than then.
