My brain kind of froze over for a while with all my stories but its back now. though that being said, I won't be updating much in August as I have holidays and stuff, so I will write what I can, when I can, but don't worry I won't forget this.
Now enough from me. Let's get on with the story shall we? I hope you like it.

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
and it's all right, baby, it's all right
Dean woke to find himself wrapped in Cas' arms with his back against the other man's chest. For a minute he just lay there, enjoying the warmth and comfort he felt from the other man. He was about to turn and wake Cas when he felt a gentle kiss being dropped on the back of his neck and the man himself was looking down on him.
"Hello Dean." Cas said in his usual gravelly voice and with a soft smile on his face.
"Hey Cas. How is it you're always awake before me?" Dean asked giving Cas a sleepy smile in return.
"I imagine it's due to me requiring less sleep." Castiel replied looking down at the man he loved.
"Yeah okay." Dean chuckled at him. He then moved so he could give Cas a proper kiss, yeah this was definitely the way to start the day, even if he was lying on the ground. Speaking of which, they should probably get up and make a start on their day.
Dean and Cas got all there camping stuff back into the car and set off on the roundabout route out of Yellow Stone National Park. Dean knew they had to start heading to Sam's today, but first he wanted to make sure that Cas saw all he wanted to of this place. Castiel on the other hand was enjoying the drive through the park, he liked looking at the various natural beauty that was casually scattered around the place. It also prolonged the ending of his journey with Dean. He knew that next they would be heading to Dean's brothers, just as he knew once there he was going to have to work out what he was going to do about the … situation he found them in. But he wasn't going to think about that. It was approximately 936 miles between here and there. That should take them a couple of days to travel, and while he wished he could, he knew he couldn't hold them up as he had done on the way to Las Vegas. So in three days they would be in San Francisco and they would be at Sam's. But that still meant that he had three days and two nights with the human he loved.
With that in mind he reached across the car and grabbed Dean's hand in his own and made sure that he could watch Dean out of the corner of his eye. He loved that the man was smiling and seemed happy with him, and he vowed to himself he would do everything in his power to carry on making Dean happy.
And so they spent the day driving first round the park and then on the roads leading them ever closer to Sam, and all the way they held hands, and when Dean stopped for lunch at a small diner Castiel sat next to him, there legs touching, in fact what Dean was noticing was that at any point throughout the day Cas seemed to find a reason to be touching him, not that he minded, but it was different from the last few days of their relationship. It was almost as if Cas was afraid that if he let go of him for a minute he would be gone. It was then that Dean remembered their deal at the start of this. That if Dean wasn't happy with the idea of a relationship with Cas by the time they got to Sam's then Cas would leave. He guessed that Cas was… well he wasn't rightly sure, cos it looked to him like he was trying to get as much together time in now so that when Dean left he would have the memories, but surely Cas knew Dean would never leave him now. Maybe it was Cas who was leaving? It would make sense. It wasn't like Dean thought that this happiness would last after all. It was too good, too perfect to last. But Dean really didn't want him to go. So that night, as he once again lay in the arms of the man he loved he thought over what he could do to keep Cas at his side. The only solution he could come up with was that he tell him how he felt. Promise him he would never leave him, and hope that Cas said the same. With that idea formed in his head he closed his eyes. He would have to make it special, after all it wasn't every day that Dean Winchester proclaimed himself in love. And to be honest he wasn't 100% sure about how to go about it. But he was sure he would work it out, in the morning. With that he fell asleep.
Castiel felt all the thoughts going through Dean's head and his heart hurt when he felt his insecurity, he didn't want Dean to be hurt. He loved him. He didn't know the details of what Dean had decided to resolve his feelings but he did know that his human drifted off to sleep with a more peaceful mind. And so Castiel lay there, holding Dean tight and watched him sleep, refusing to let any thoughts of what was to come enter his mind.
The following morning when Cas was in the shower, Dean pulled out his phone and searched for a nice hotel and restaurant near San Francisco that they could stay in and eat at that evening. He had decided if this was to be his last night with Cas then it was going to be special. And not just cos he was planning on telling him that he loved him. But because of all of it. He found a nice little out of the way town with just what he was looking for and as such he booked both a table and a room for them for that evening.
Castiel on the other hand was finding it harder and harder to block the thoughts of what would come next from his mind, but he was determined to do so, for one more day at least. With that idea he, for the first time, actually decided to have a shower. It would take his mind from the thoughts at least. With that he stepped under the running water and groaned when it hit his skin. It was amazing, it was like the feel of warm rain, and it was just what he needed that morning. As such he was in the shower a lot longer than he would normally be, but at least he didn't have to worry about drying himself once he finally got out. Instead with a thought he was once again fully dressed with his hair still damp from the shower. With that he emerged from the bathroom to see Dean sitting at the table of the motel room looking at something on his phone. At the sound of the door Dean looked up startled.
"Wow, you got dressed quickly, I only heard the water turn of like a minute ago." Dean said smiling up at him making Cas tilt his head as he wondered if he had been too reckless. He should have done it the human way but…
"I wished to be with you." he replied in his gravelly voice.
"Come here you soppy thing." Dean said with a smile on his face. With that Castiel made his way to the human, a frown on his face, he wasn't soppy, he had dried himself well, so why did Dean say he was?
Dean watched Cas walk to him with confusion in his eyes, he didn't understand why Cas was confused, but he did think it was completely adorable. As such when Cas got to him he stood and pulled him into his arms for a heated kiss which Cas reciprocated tenfold making Dean the one who was breathless and chasing to catch up. Damn Cas caught on quickly to what Dean had been teaching him, and Dean loved every minute of it.
