usual warning for spelling and grammar xxxx

Both hunters sprang into action and ran to the angel Dean getting to him first and grabbing his arm trying to get the attention of the angel with glazy eyes.

"Cas? Cas can you hear me?" Dean shouted as Sam took his other arm and pulled him to his feet. The bothers looked to each other both as lost as the other and both in awe of the man's wings, though it did make it more difficult to hold him. Cas soon gained focus and looked up, of course he looked to Dean first then to Sam before pushing the brothers away slightly so he could stand on his own. The sweat covered, breathless, half naked angel stumbled his way to the motel room's sofa.

The brother's stood in silence as they watched the angel pant and try to calm down. Dean went to the sink to get the angel some water as Sam continued to stare.

"Cas, are you okay?"

"Don't ask stupid questions Sam." Sam rolled his eyes and Dean made his way back over with a smirk on his face.

"Here Cas." Dean told him as he handed Cas a glass, Sam was just about to open his mouth and be a smart ass and remind his brother that angels not need to drink when Cas took the glass from the hunter and gulped down the water in one before giving him an empty glass back. Sam had to wonder how Dean knew exactly what he needed when he never needed it before, it was odd.

"Thank you Dean." Cas panted out, his breathing slowled, though he couldn't seem to be able to look the brothers in the eye so he stared at the dirty motel carpet. they shouldnt see him seeming so weak.

"Cas, you know your wings are on show." Dean told him, he couldn't take his eyes of them they were, beautiful.

"Oh, yeah." Cas had forgot about that, but he had no energy to hid them, and his focus was something he was seriously lacking, he looked behind him at them, they were smaller then he remembers, "Sorry." He told them still not looking at the hunters.

"No it's okay, they're nice" Dean reassured the angel before he could stop himself, Sam looked at him with a bewildered what the fuck are you on bitch face, Dean knew he shouldn't have said that but he also knew he was telling the truth, thankfully Dean was quick on his feet and though fast so a cocky face smile plastered over his face as he turned to his baby brother, "What you don't like them?" making Sam roll his eyes and open his mouth.

"I had a dream." Both hunters attention snapped to Cas who was now staring at his hands.

"What about?" Dean asked, both boys gagging for an answer, what would an angel dream about. What could Cas say? He could hardly tell them the truth but he couldn't lye, Cas soon decided lying would be a lesser of two evils so he quickly thought of a plausible answer that hopefully wouldn't get too many questions.

"Lucifer." He mumbled to himself the brothers looked at each other as they winced, of course an angel would dream about the oncoming apocalypse, poor guy. Like he doesnt get enough of that when he's awake.

"Wow man, sorry." Dean told him as he patted his back, feeling a little crappy for asking.

"Yeah it was," for the first since the convocation started Cas looked up and caught the eye of Dean, "unexpected." He whispered in his gruff voice, their gaze locked and all the memories of the dream he had danced around Cas' head, he could still feel every touch, he could still taste Dean lips, smell his sent, everything all those sensations that dream had conjured were still beating loudly inside him. Castiel's gaze was so intense that Dean had to swallow to rid himself of the lump that formed him in suddenly dry throat.

"You know it was just a dream Cas." Sam interrupted; Dean looked to him and clapped his shoulder before joining Cas on the sofa making the angel tense and freeze momentarily.

"Yeah I mean it didn't mean anything, dreams don't mean anything Cas. It wasn't real, okay?"

"I felt it, everything seemed, real. I don't want to go back to that room tonight Dean." Cas spoke almost embarrassed, like the room had defeated him.

"Sure, stay here. Sammy, get to bed." Dean threw over his shoulder to the hunter that stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, too tired to pull of his full on bitch face but he gave it ago nonetheless.

"What?"

"I'll stay up with Cas," both Sam and Cas looked to the hunter as if he were speaking a different language. "You shouldn't be alone." Dean told the angel as he wriggled a little getting comfy on the sofa that by most standards wasn't.

"Dean that is not necessary." Cas assured the hunter that looked even more tired than his brother.

"Cas is right we've got a long day of work tomorrow."

"Sammy I've had a few hours I'm fine, it's you that gets cranky if you don't get your beauty sleep, not me. So stop whining like a bitch."

"Whatever jerk, I'm beat." Sam decided not to argue but ready his I told you so's for the morning, Dean had a smirk of victory over his face as Sam climbed into bed

Dean and Cas sat in a comfortable silence for a while as Sam started to drift back into dream. The hunter's eyes lingered on the floor as he listened to Sammy's breathing start to steady and Cas fidget his damp skin uncomfortable against the coarse fabric of the couch. Dean's mind wondered, he couldn't help but feel guilty for making Cas feeling this way, he looked awful, he made Cas sleep made him dream, probably the worst dream he could have dreamt. The hunter just wished he could do more to help the poor confused angel sitting next to him.

"You help by being here Dean, it calms me knowing you have my back." His eyes shot up to meet Cas' as the hunter's mouth fell open, how did Cas know?

"Have you been reading my thoughts again? After I specifically told you,"

"No," the angel quickly told him knowing how Dean didn't like that sort of thing. "I don't need to see your thoughts in order to read your mind,"

"Is it like a sense thing you feathered folk have?" Cas' face wrinkled in confused as his head moved to the side slightly, Dean's eyes quickly found the floor.

"I don't understand."

"Never mind Cas."

"It's nothing to do with my angel powers, what's left of them, I know you Dean, I can read you without actually reading you." Green meet blue again, what Cas was saying really touched Dean, it really did not that he would ever tell him, ever. Someone knows him, he didn't realised until now how little people really know him and how little people cared about that, but Cas did and does. The angel knew him as well as he knows himself. Sam has that in his brother but Dean had never been that close to anyone and suddenly here Cas was 'reading' him.

He cleared his throat and put on his cocky smirk, pushing all girly thoughts of a hug out of his brain kinda hoping that wasn't one of those things that Cas 'reads'.

"Okay, what am I thinking right now?"

"It doesn't work like that Dean and you know it."

"Yeah." Silence fell between them both staring at the floor and listened to Sam snore lightly. "I'm sorry. I would never have pushed you to sleep if I knew how dreams would affect you."

"It's okay; it wasn't because I was dreaming it was that" Cas swallowed as he looked to Dean's mouth remembers how it felt around his cock. "Particular dream."

"Tell me about it."

"Excuse me?"

"Your dream, tell me."

"I, I would really rather not." Cas shook his head and looked down, determined not to catch the hunters eye knowing full well lying was not one of his strengths.

"You sure? It could help." Dean was a little disappointed that Cas was no longer sharing.

"It won't, but thank you." A small smile pulled at the corners of his mouth.

"'s alright man, now lets watch TV." Dean told the angel as he looked for the remote, even thought the TV was a metre away it was either looking for the remote or watch that damn angel smile and Dean decided it to be safer to not choose the latter.

"I find TV meaningless and mind numbing."

"Good, perfect for you after the night you had." Dean told him as he flicked on the TV, making sure the volume was down so it didn't wake Sam. "Used to do this with Sammy when he was a kid."

"Do what?"

"Stay up when he had a nightmare."

"I didn't have a nightmare and I'm not a kid Dean." Cas blurted out, a little annoyed he didn't like the thought of himself as weak and certainly didn't enjoy the thought of Dean thinking he was.

"Okay calm down, I'm just saying, did the dream scare you?"

"In places." Cas mumbled as he remembered Dean's fingers pressed inside him, he squirmed slightly were he was sitting he could almost feel it.

"Sounds like a nightmare to me dude. We're watching this movie." He told him, not leaving the statement up for discussion.

The men sat for a little while in silence, neither of them realised they kept glancing at the other, not until their eyes met and they felt incredibly uncomfortable, so much so that Dean got up and got two beers. He passed one to Cas who just held it as Dean drank his next to him, he didn't want more alcohol, not tonight. Not after,

"I don't understand what this is about." He told the hunter as he motioned to the TV. Dean rolled his eyes and tried to explain quickly before his favourite and only good part came.

"Basically the big boat sinks and lots people die, and two lovers can never be together. Based on true events."

"What if the erm" Cas tried to remember it's name and even gave it air quotes, something that Dean couldn't not smile at. "'Titanic' didn't sink?"

"I dunno man, can't imagine it would make much of a difference. Just shhh and watch, stop philosophising everything, Winslet's rack is on soon." He dismissed the question as he took another swig.

"Rack?" the angel needed verification.

"Boobs Cas the hot girls boobs are about to come on so shhh."

"I don't wish to see." Cas informed him as his eyes fell to the carpet.

"Tough." Dean told him, that hurt Cas didn't know why but it did, it didn't take him long to recognised the now familiar feeling, it was jealously, of a movie? Cas was getting irritation it didn't make sense, he grabbed his beer and downed it in one before helping himself to another from the fridge. Dean frowned as he watched he was a little confused and a little worried, but just then Dean's attention was snatched back to the screen that know filled with the tits of Kate Winslet, Dean watched and suddenly it was not how he remembered them, he no longer saw the appeal they didn't do anything for him. Dean thought it strange, but then again he has seen her tits many times and doesn't tend to keep interest in one girl, he figured that must be it. So he turned to Cas with greater ease then he was expecting the angel was next to him eyes closed empty bottle tightly in his hand.

"Cas, I know your not asleep." No answer. "come on man." no answer "Don't make me tickle you dude." still no answer "Fine then you bring this all on your self." Dean edged towards the angels wondering if angels could even be tickled. The hunter lightly ran his hands up his chest, remembering too late that he was shirtless but he couldn't stop now, he didnt wan to. he felt Cas' firm warm skin beneath his fingers. He got to Cas' Adams apple holding the back of his neck with his fingers he brushed it with his thumb as he swallowed, a very minuet smile appeared on the angels face at the contact.

Dean shook his head and brought both hands to Cas' sides and dug his fingers into the skin and roughly tickled his sides. Cas jumped up as his eyes shot open in confusion and suprised as he wriggled trying to ge away. What was Dean doing! it hurt a little but made his stomach bubble and burst threw his mouth, it was pleasant yet uncomfortable at the same time, he grabbed Dean back as both men laughed and tried their hardest to win, what ever competition they were competing.

Dean had never seen Cas laugh, it was amazing, like his grace rose to the surface of his face and bathed his features in beauty, even his eyes seemed to sparkle. After a few moments Dean moved up and started to straddle the angel trying to pin him and get him to surrender, innocent enough.

Unfortunately Dean forgot that angels have wings the movement startled Cas, he wasn't expecting it, made him nervous and a little scared, his wings came up and stretched out suddenly, the ceiling stopped them from unfolding the whole way as they flared out across the room, it made Dean scretch a little as he jumped and lost balance and fell off of the angel and landed on the floor hitting his end as he did. Cas jumped back and quickly darted to the hunter.

"Dean? Are you okay?" Cas asked face inches from Dean's face, his body half draped over Dean's and Cas' wings fallen either side on his body encasing the two in a bubble of feathers. The hunter opened his eyes and smiled to the angel above him.

"Am I dreaming?" he asked Cas was a little taken back from the question, he physically shook when Dean ran the back of his fingers of his right hand down Cas' cheek. The angel couldn't speak so just shook his head. "I wish I was." Dean whispered to a very confused looking angel above him, Dean allowed himself a few moments before sitting up, Cas moved back and crouched by his feet watching him move.

"I don't understand what is happening." The angel mumbled as he looked to the floor, Dean felt so sorry for the guy, his wings draped around him as the light from the window beat gently to his back making his still slightly damp naked chest glisten slightly, how could Cas ever understand Dean thought.

"It's nothing Cas, just an accident." Cas nodded but still refused to catch his eye. "Could you put your wings away?"

"Of course." Cas got up a little embarrassed and within a blink of an eye his wings had faded, and he awkwardly settled back onto the sofa, Dean joined him a moment later. "How's the head?"

Dean didn't answer he just chuckle slightly and switched channels. They sat in silence, watched some weird ass TV programme and drank beers for much of the night. Somewhere along the line Dean must have fallen asleep because he woke up in the morning and once again Cas had gone.

He was getting sick of going to sleep with Cas and waking up without the god damn angel around.
