Epilogue

"Fuck, I should make you wear a suit more often." Dean said as he straightened Castiel's bowtie.

Castiel just smiled at him pulled him in for a sweet kiss.

"Is there a particular occasion, Dean" Castiel asked. He had been very secretive about his and Cas' date.

"What, aren't I allowed to take my angel boyfriend out on a nice date without having my motives questioned?"

"We go on dates, Dean. You have been acting differently about this one."

"Okay, first of all, those are hardly dates. I mean, my brother comes along with us."

Castiel tilted his head to the side. "I like Sam."

Dean chuckled slightly.

"You just can't resist his puppy dog eyes."

Castiel frowned slightly at this statement.

"How can Sam have puppy dog eyes? He is a human, not a puppy dog therefore he has human eyes. I am confused, Dean."

Dean laughed again and pulled his boyfriend in for another kiss before they made their way to the car.

"Don't ever change." He told Castiel. Castiel smiled.

"So where is Sam anyway?" Castiel inquired as Dean held the passenger door of the impala open for him.

"He's on a date with someone." Dean said as he got in the driver's seat. At Castiel's inquiring look, he continued. "He didn't say much about her except that she had dark hair, blue eyes and glasses and was fairly terrifying. He seemed pretty damn excited though."

"I hope it works out." Castiel replied.

Dean took Castiel to an upper class restaurant in the city. He knew Dean was up to something because Dean's usual idea of a date was ordering pizza and having sex on the kitchen counter.

This place was far too posh for Dean's liking. Castiel didn't say anything.

They enjoyed a nice dinner at the restaurant. Castiel didn't really need to eat but he liked to eat with Dean. Castiel smiled at Dean across the table and Dean smiled back but looked away quickly. He was sweating profusely and looked extremely nervous.

Castiel found him quite endearing in this state and then immediately felt bad for thinking that and instead worried what was wrong.

"Dean, are you alright. You look a bit…"

He left the sentence hanging. Dean looked up from his empty plate.

"No I'm fine, Cas. I just, um, well I have something to ask you." Dean shifted in his seat and then took a deep breath before continuing.

"Okay so here's the thing. I love you right, no don't interrupt, and I know you love me too. I mean you left heaven for me. And I feel like I'm probably not worth it but for whatever reason, you seem to think that I am. And I just wanted to say that I know what you've given up for me and I would never do anything to hurt you and I love you very much and…"

Dean took another deep breath.

"I just want you to know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you and no-one else so, um, even though it's nothing compared to giving up heaven. Castiel…"

At this point, Dean had shifted to the very edge of his seat. He then got off the seat entirely and instead got down on one knee. He fumbled a bit with a small box he had retrieved from his pocket and said.

"Will you marry me?"

Castiel felt himself stop breathing. He loved Dean so much and he knew he wanted to stay with Dean forever but he never expected this. Dean looked so nervous and hopeful and scared all at once and Castiel just wanted to kiss that look right off his silly face. How could he possibly say no?

Castiel realized that Dean was still waiting. He was not entirely sure he could speak so instead he just nodded. He noticed that most the restaurant's other patrons were now staring at them so he cleared his throat.

"Yes"

The restaurant broke into applause.

Light years away, two angels looked down at the scene below them. One was handsome with dark hair and stiff posture. The other had honey coloured hair and was sucking on a lollypop. The one with the lollypop took the sweet from his mouth and said to the other one.

"I told you Michael. Cassie was never destined to meet his match in Heaven. He's so happy. It's nice to see, he hadn't been happy here for a while."

The other angel, Michael, replied.

"Yes, Gabriel. I hate to admit it but you're right. Castiel is certainly a special case and it is good to see our brother finally happy with the hunter."

Gabriel turned away from the scene at the restaurant and said to Michael.

"Don't you think he'll miss it though? I mean, he is an angel. How long will he be able to fit into a normal human life?"

Michael smiled.

"You are forgetting, brother, that this Dean Winchester is a hunter. He said he had given up the trade but humans are rarely so simple. I am sure Castiel and his new fiancé will have an exciting and full life along with the brother and whoever he chooses."

"I hope so." Gabriel replied. "Castiel is not only my brother but my friend. I wish only the best for him"

Gabriel returned his lollypop to his mouth and both arch-angels turned to the scene below them where Castiel and Dean were beginning their new life together.

I hope you enjoyed that. The briefly mentioned girl who is on a date with Sam is my original Character but she is not relevant to this story.
