Silent Angel:

Thank you:

"He actually said my name the other day" Gabriel said taking his eyes from Castiel's room, where Cas was learning how to talk with Dean.

"Really?" Micheal asked.

"Well, kinda. He called me Gabral. But, he was close" Gabriel remember.

"How long have they been in there?" Lucifer moaned, "I'm hungry."

"Leave Cassie alone" Anna snapped, "learning takes time! Not that you would know, you never payed attention to anything in school."

"It's been like an hour" Micheal glanced at his watch to see if he was right, longer than an hour.

"Say, goodbye" Dean said. "G-oo-d b-i" Dean sounded it out and wrote it down.

"G-g" Castiel was too frustrated. The word was too big for him, he couldn't handle it.

"Listen, don't try to rush it out. Look at the word, say it in your head a few time, then try again. It's a long word so it'll take while. I know you can do it" Dean kept his voice calm, knowing that moaning and groaning will get him nowhere. Castiel nodded.

"How about we break it down? Say, good" Dean instructed.

"G-oooo-d"

"Now say bye."

"B-i-y"

"Now put them together. Goodbye"

"G-oo-d-b-iy" Castiel said quietly.

"Hey" Dean said lifting Castiel's head up, "you said it right!" Castiel offered him a weak smile. Dean smiled back and pressed his lips to Castiel's forehead. "Come on. I think it's about time you show these guys your new skills." Dean got up off the bed and held his hand out in the direction of Castiel. Castiel hesitated but eventually took Deans hand and allowed himself to be pulled of the bed and onto his feet.

Everyone looked up as Dean pulled Castiel into the living room.

"You ok?" Micheal asked, he could tell Castiel was nervous.

"Miceal" Castiel said his voice was quite but Micheal thought he heard what Castiel said.

"What?" he was smiling, "Castiel, what did you say?"

"Miceal" he repeated, a little louder. Micheal looked like he was going to cry. He had spent 7 years raising Castiel and having to deal with the fact that he would never hear him say his name. He had to figure out what Castiel wanted when he wouldn't say it. He delt with all of Cas's nightmare, all his sad days and all his fights. Then finally, something good has come out of it, things have started to turn around, for the better. It took a lot of effort for Micheal to hold in his tears. Castiel bent down and hugged him.

"It...ok-ay" he stuttered as he let go.

"Yeah, everything's fine" Micheal couldn't hold it in anymore. A tear ran down his check. Everyone started again. Micheal was always the brave one. He was the one who grew up too fast because he had to look after his siblings. He missed days of school, days of work and all just because of them. He was the best big brother anyone could ask for and he always held in his tears because him crying wouldn't make anything better and now he just, let himself go.

Castiel patter him on the shoulder.

"Do you know my name?" Lucifer called from the seat opposite Micheal.

"Lucifr" Castiel hesitated on his name but he finally said it.

"My names Lucifer" Lucifer corrected him.

"He'll get there, just - just give him time. It won't be perfect first time" Dean admired his boyfriend while he tried to say everyone else's name.

"You said my name before, can you say it again?" Gabriel begged on the edge of his seat.

"Gabral" Castiel smiled. He was feeling very pleased with himself. No one had ever shown interest in him after every doctor told him there was nothing to worry about.

"Balt-azar" Castiel pointed to him, before pointing to Anna who was comforting Micheal, "Ana... Uril... Ralphel" then he pointed to himself and said, "Cas-tiel."

Dean was smile smugly, feeling proud of himself and he was proud of Castiel too. More than proud, he was triumphal.

"His doing well, isn't he?" Dean beamed at Castiel as the boy took his hand.

"I can't believe you actually got him to say words. You, did it. Something neither of us could do, I don't know how you did it and I cannot thank you enough" Micheal got up from his seat and threw his arms around Dean. Dean just stood there, awkwardly. Castiel soon enough joined in too. Snaking his way into his brothers arms and holding Dean tightly. Dean was grateful for the hug but it was awkward.

"Sorry" Micheal said stepping back, "I, it's just, you've done so much. I miss judged you. Twice. And I'm sorry about that." Micheal wiped his eyes.

"It's ok. It wasn't easy, I'll give you that, but all the frustration was worth it. He has a great voice" Dean smiled at Castiel and wrapped his arms around his waist. "And there are still words to work on but, I think we're good for the day."

"Thank you" Micheal said again, he patted Castiel on the shoulder. "You're doing great." Castiel nodded.

"Thank you" Dean whispered in Cas's ear. "Say th-a-nk y-ou."

"T-a-nk yoo" Castiel shyed away.

"Your welcome" Micheal smiled. "We were gonna watch a film, did you wanna watch too?"

"Ys" Castiel nodded, feeling a little more confident know that he new everyone was happy about him talking.
