Dean woke up and opened his eyes slowly:

"Cas?" Asked He looking for Castiel, but Dean was in the bed alone "Cas?" Repeated he standing up "Cas, are you in the bathroom?" Continued Dean knocking on the bathroom door, but Castiel wasn't on the bathroom

"Hello, Dean" Said Castiel opening the bedroom door, Dean smiled and embraced him, for one moment he thought everything was just a dream

"You are here"

"Yes, this is my home" Said Castiel confused, he padded Dean's back "Are you ok?"

"I'm great!" Said Dean kissing Castiel's lips and holding his waist

"Hey" Said Castiel pulling him away "My waist still hurts, Dean"

"I'm sorry" chucked Dean, he was sure it wasn't a dream. Castiel smiled and kissed Dean's lips lightly

"It's almost noon" Said Castiel while giving Dean a white t-shirt "Come on, I'm cooking"

Dean took his shirt off and wore the one Castiel handled him "What are you cooking?"

"Some pasta" Continued Castiel leaving the room, Dean followed him and sat on a chair

"So, we made love…" Said Dean trying to strike a conversation

"We did, Dean" Replied Castiel turning the fire on

"I mean, are you my boyfriend now?" Asked Dean embarrassed, he wanted to be Castiel's boyfriend, but he wanted to know if they were in the same page

"I don't know…Are we?" Asked Castiel covering a saucepan

"I want us to be" Said Dean looking at Castiel, trying to anticipate what would he say. Castiel just smiled and nodded.

"So we are" Continued Castiel slicing some tomatoes

"I like that" Said Dean laying back on his chair

"Like that I am your boyfriend or like that you are mine?" Asked Castiel playfully washing the slices of tomatoes

"Both" Said Dean laughing, Castiel smiled, everything sounded perfect like a good dream, Dean remembered his talk with Lisa. He needed to tell Castiel about Ben "Cas?"

"Yes?" Replied Castiel putting some spaghetti on the saucepan now filled with water

"Lisa and I talked"

"About?"

"Ben"

"So is he your son?" Asked Castiel putting some pasta on Dean's plate and covering it with tomato sauce, Dean smiled like a little boy hiding a secret

"What if I say he is?"Asked Dean smiling, Castiel didn't took even a second to reply him

"Then you need to be there for him" Dean smiled even wider and caressed Castiel's hair "What was that for?"

"I realized why I love you" Said Dean eating his spaghetti

"Why?" Asked Castiel wrapping some spaghetti on his fork

"Because you have heart" Said Dean gazing at Castiel's eyes "Maybe too much heart is your problem"

"How is that a problem?"

"It would be if you ruled the world" Chucked Dean at Castiel's confused expression

"I don't see it as a problem"

"But it would" Said Dean teasing Castiel

"How would you know?" Asked Castiel laughing

"Because I'm a hunter" Chucked Dean

"Then I guess I'm your angel all over again, right?" Laughed Castiel thinking how it sounded so crazy

"Yes, Cas" Said Dean holding Castiel's hand "You are the one who gripped me tight and raised me from perdition, Cas"

"Why? Because God commanded?" Asked Castiel laughing after kissing Dean's cheek

"Exactly" Dean smiled and held Castiel's face gentle "Can you say it to me?"

"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" Said Castiel amazed by the way Dean smiled, Castiel felt like two realities collapsed and everything made sense for a brief moment.

"Thank you, Cas" Said Dean lying his back on the chair and smiling satisfied, hearing from Castiel's lips was more than he wanted

"I didn't save you Dean" Said Castiel resting the plates on the sink

"Yes, but you brought me back… Twisting the trees of my roadless world, bending old laws of the world like wet paper on the wind" Said Dean closing his eyes

"Dean" Said Castiel watching Dean in silence, this moment was somehow holy; it's felt like a strange broken reflection of that would be, but somehow it's felt like returning home.

"He isn't my son, Lisa was with another guy before me..." Continued Dean smiling "I wish he was tough."

Castiel just smiled sadly "So do I, did you loved her?"

"I did, once" Said Dean looking at Castiel's eyes "When I was younger"

"Was she your first love Dean?" Asked Castiel sitting close to Dean

"She was, Cas"

"What happened?"

"She disappeared after our last dance" Said Dean holding Castiel against his chest "Promise you'll never disappear, Cas"

"I won't go anywhere Dean"

"Thank you"

"I'm sorry you fist love ended up like this" Said Castiel resting his head on Dean's chest

"I'm glad" Said Dean kissing Castiel forehead "If something different happened I wouldn't ended up in your arms"

Castiel looked at Dean's eyes with a surprised expression that become a smile "I'm glad you are in my arms"


"Dean?" Asked John surprised over the phone "Is that you?"

"Yes, dad" Said Dean a little embarrassed "How are you doing?"

"I'm great" Said John suspicious "I got the feeling you'll ask me a favor"

"Not a favor, dad" Said Dean resting his feet on the coffee table "A job"

"So you want to be a mechanic?" Asked John surprised and a little proud of Dean

"Yeah, dad this is the only skill I have… Can you get me a job on your mechanic shop?"

"Of course, son!" Said John eagerly "You can work with me, we got some many motorcycles here to fix, it will be really good"

"Hold on daddy" Said Dean a little freaked out "Can we talk about it tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, of course!" Said John happily "I'm sorry, Dean, but Sammy never wanted to work on my Mechanical Shop, so…"

"I know daddy" Said Dean chucking "I'm your only son that play with cars"

"Thanks to God you do!" Said John laughing "Ok, then tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, I'll be there tomorrow dad"

"I'll be waiting" Said John happily again, Dean said goodbye and hanged up.

'Cas will have a surprise' Thought Dean walking to his room 'I'll get a job and maybe we move from here'


Someone knocked on the door twice, Dean opened to find Meg smiling with a pleased expression.

"Oh it's you" Said Dean a little upset, after all Meg got him in a really tight spot

"Don't be such a child, Dean" Said Meg smiling again "I know I should've told you first about Balthazar's plans, but Castiel would never believed in you"

"Why?"

"Because you were clearly jealous of him"

"OK, but you almost got me in trouble"

"Nothing more than you deserved"

"You dared me!"

"I did, but look at you!" Said Meg kissing his cheek "You got Castiel, didn't you?"

"I did, but… wait" Said Dean smiling "You would lose our bet then you told Castiel everything hoping to win the bet, didn't you?"

"Oh, you have a brain after all"

"But I won"

"Maybe" Said Meg handling a fifty dollar bill to Dean and turning away with a mysterious smile again

"Wait, what you mean by maybe?"

"A girl gotta have her secrets" Said she waving goodbye and smiling "Oh, Balthazar won't return anymore, your Castiel is safe"

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm going with him to Europe" Meg entered the elevator and Dean smiled, in the end Meg got Balthazar in her hands. Did she seduced him or was blacking mailing him? Dean shook his head and closed the door knowing that it didn't matter anymore; Balthazar was out of the game, nobody could keep him away from Castiel.
