"Welcome back home" Said Dean while Castiel walked into the living room, it was morning, Castiel stayed just a few days in the hospital, Dean would visit in everyday on evenings

"Thank you" Said Castiel smiling, Sam told Dean to 'break up' with Castiel today, because the trance was growing weaker "I see you cleaned"

"Yes, I did" Said Dean proud, Castiel sat on the couch and Dean stood right in front of him in silence, searching for the right words

"Is something wrong?"

"Cas, we need to talk about us" Said Dean reluctantly, he didn't want to break Castiel's heart, it was ironical that he had to do it in order to help Cas "About our relationship"

"What about it?"

"That we don't have any" Said Dean trying not to feel hurt by it, Castiel smiled confused

"But you said you loved me" Continued he looking at Dean's eyes "Were you lying to me?"

'No, I wasn't, Cas' Thought Dean, but instead he said "No, I just realized you were right… I still love Lisa" Dean watched Castiel reaction, a nervous smiled rose in his face

"Excuse me?" Said Castiel "You… This is a joke, right?"

"No, Cas" Said Dean sadly, it was hurting him more than Castiel "I don't love you anymore"

Castiel stood in silence and looked at the floor, searching for an explanation "Don't you love me?"

"No, I don't" Repeated Dean, he wanted to say the opposite, but it wouldn't help Castiel "I don't love you"

Castiel lift his eyes meeting Dean's eyes, and stood there shocked in silence "Why?"

Dean just smiled feigning sympathy, Castiel stood up and grabbed him by his collar "Why, tell me why?"

"It doesn't matter, I love Lisa and not you" Said Dean serious, but his insides were hurting while he said that, Dean wanted to embrace Castiel and kiss him and tell he would never leave, but he stood there serious 'It's from your own good, Cas… Forgive me' thought Dean

"Why are you doing this to me?" Continued Castiel shaking Dean by his collar "You liar, say you love me!"

"I don't, and you know it…." Said Dean breaking inside "We just had our fun and it's over"

"We had fun?!" Shouted Castiel shocked

"Why do you care?" Asked Dean griming, it was his wolfish grim again "You don't love me right? You are straight"

"You son of a bitch!" Cursed Castiel holding Dean against the wall

"Face it Cas, you just wanted sex" Said Dean in the cruelest way he could "You just wanted someone, because you felt alone"

"That's not true!"

"You wanted someone so much that you didn't mind to go gay for me" Said Dean holding Castiel's forearms "You just used me too"

"You jerk!" Shouted Castiel enraged

"Prove me wrong, Cas" Asked Dean with all the insolence he could feign "All you wanted was sex, like all straight perverted guys"

"No, I'm not like this!" Shouted Castiel again pressing Dean against the wall again

"I don't have to hear that bullish from you!" Said Dean pulling Castiel away and turning his back "I don't love you, I never did…" Dean breathed deeply reminding him that it needed to be said "Neither have you, you never loved me"

"That a lie, a vicious lie" Shouted Castiel

"Is it?" Asked Dean turning back again and looking at Castiel's eyes "How would you know?"

"Because…" Stammered Castiel with tears in his eyes "Because… Because I love you, you idiot!"

Dean smiled, embracing Castiel he whispered "I know, I love you too, Cas"

Castiel cried on his shoulder and embraced him back "You are an idiot, you know"

"It was Sam's idea" Whispered Dean again "It was the only way to bring you back to me, Cas"

"Thank you, Dean" Said Castiel while feeling a weigh being lift off his shoulder the trance was broken "Thank you" Whispered Castiel a few times

"You are welcome, Cas" Said Dean holding Castiel's face

"Kiss me" Whispered Castiel with a smiled "So that I know it's not a dream, that it's real and that finally God listened to my prayers"

Dean kissed Castiel lightly on his lips "What did you prayed for?"

"I don't want to make you uncomfortable" Said Castiel with his thumb on Dean's chin "But I prayed for you happiness"

Someone knocked on the door, Castiel opened to find Michael smiling embarrassed:

"Cas, I'm sorry" Castiel breathed deeply and just stood in silence "I know that I've been a bad brother, but I never meant you any warm"

"I know, Michael… I'm not angry"

"Thank you, Cas… I know dad would be proud of you"

"It doesn't matter anymore, Michael" Said Castiel smiling "I don't care anymore about him, I think I'll move to another city"

"What?! But you said you would wait for him to come back"

"I'm tired of waiting for him, I need to start anew"

"I understand, maybe this is time for a new beginning"

"It is" Said Castiel embracing Michael "I forgive you, brother"

"I always admired you, little brother" Said Michael, a tear fell from his cheek and Castiel smiled, it was good to see that Michael had a soft side. His brother finally accepted him for who he was.

"Same here, big brother" Whispered Castiel

"Cas!" Shouted Rachel embracing him

"Rachel?" Said Castiel confused, he just opened his apartment door "What are you doing here?"

"Sam just told me you were alright now" Said she sitting on the couch "I'm so happy"

"So am I" Said Dean walking into the room "Someone owns me an apology"

"Suck it up, Dean" Replied Rachel "You kind of deserved"

"You two fought?" Asked Castiel confused

"Yes, Dean fooled me too, Cas"

"I see" Said Castiel chucking "You knew my sister wouldn't keep a secret"

"Hey!" Shouted Rachel "I can keep a secret"

"I'm glad that is a lie" Chucked Dean, Castiel laughed and embraced him

"Well, I'm leaving now" Said Rachel walking towards the door "So that you two can be by yourselves"

"Rachel!" Said Castiel embarrassed, She left with a smiled on her face, it was funny pick on Castiel

"So we are boyfriend again, right?" Asked Dean a little embarrassed

"I guess so" Said Castiel kissing Dean's cheek "Why?"

"Here" Said Dean handling Castiel a little box "Open it"

"What is the occasion?" Asked Castiel opening the box

"You came back to me, that's a day to remember" Said Dean smiling, Castiel realized that was Dean's necklace "It's a protection charm, I want you to keep it"

"Thank you" Said Castiel putting it on "I know how much it means to you… But what about your protection?"

"I've got you for that, remember?"

"Oh" Chucked Castiel "Yes, guardian angel duty"

"Right"

"And what is the hunter's duty?"

"Keep you away from troubles, and keep your evil ex-boyfriend away too"

"That's good" Said Castiel kissing Dean's lips "Don't you ever change"

"I promise I won't" Dean sat on the couch and smiled "So what now?"

"Let's move and buy a home in another city"

"Really?!" Said Dean surprised

"Yes, maybe I'll paint again"

"So my librarian will be an artist?"

"Maybe"

"Then we can get married right?"

"What?!"

"Well, I gave you a necklace and all; doesn't it count as a proposal?"

"Of course not!" Chucked Castiel, Dean looked into his eyes and went down on one knee

"Cas, will you marry me?"

"This isn't legal in this state Dean" Said Castiel smiling, it was good to be back, Dean laughed

"Then, let's run to Canada!" Said Dean holding Castiel's waist "Don't you want to marry me?"

"It's not that I don't want to marry you, Dean…"

"Then, is it a yes?" Asked Dean smiling "I'm begging you, Cas"

Castiel kissed Dean's lips and held him closer; he smiled and whispered "I'm not good luck, Dean… Are you sure?"

Dean smiled surprised, for one moment he thought Castiel would say no, Dean kissed Castiel against the wall and while looking at his deep blue eyes Dean whispered "Yes"

"Then, Yes... Dean" Said Castiel holding the amulet in this hand. Castiel knew that wasn't the end, but it was the beginning of a new live with Dean.

The End
