Hello again. I would like to thank Hllo-Beastie for the review.

So here is another chapter for you. Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.

It was some time before they actually left the motel room, and only then because Dean knew he had a deadline for that evening, cos if he hadn't he would have happily stayed there for the rest of the day sharing kisses with Cas. But leave they did. Once they got into the car and Dean started to drive, holding Castiel's hand once more, Castiel started staring out the window. But he did not find the view as captivating as before. So instead he turned to watch his driver. Yes that view was much more to his liking. And so he settled himself into a comfy position so he could watch Dean as he drove.

Dean was pleasantly singing along to his music when he caught Cas move out of the corner of his eye. He saw him turn to look at him and thought nothing of it. They both would turn to look at the other regularly throughout any journey. But when Cas seemed to make himself comfortable so he could just sit there and watch him Dean could feel himself getting flustered at the unwavering attention.

"What ya doing Cas?" he asked slightly embarrassed.

"Watching you." Castiel replied simply.

"Yeah, I can see that. But why ya doing it?" He asked turning so he locked eyes with the other man briefly before turning back to the road.

"Because I want to." Castiel replied with a smile at the man he loved.

"You want to? I'm sure there at better things to look at than me Cas." Dean mumbled back, cos really, this was Cas' first time through this country, surely he wanted to watch it go by, or whatever it was he did when they were in the car normally.

"No Dean, there isn't." Castiel replied honestly.

"Oh." Was all Dean could think to respond. Cos really what could he say to that? It was embarrassing, but also deep down somewhere inside of him he felt a warm glow from the words. It seemed that Cas did like him as much as he like the guy. At least, that was what Dean hoped.

After that they drove on in silence with Castiel watching Dean. After all while Dean got used to the sensation and even forgot about his audience once in a while when a good song came on the radio and he automatically started singing and banging on the steering wheel.

This was how they passed the day until they reached the town that Dean had found, though they were cutting it a bit fine for the restaurant booking Dean had made. As such they went there first, they could check in at the hotel later after all.

Dean pulled up at a nice looking little restaurant. Nothing too fancy, but it definitely wasn't a diner or a dive bar. Once he got out he looked over at Cas who had that look of confusion on his face once more.

"What is this place Dean?" He asked turning his blue eyes on the other man.

"Where we're having dinner Cas, come on." With that Dean grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the door with a smile on his face. He hoped Cas liked this place, it was a bit like the other nice restaurant they had gone to so he should.

"Hi we've got a table booked under the name Winchester." He said to the hostess as he walked inside still holding Cas' hand tight.

"Of course, if you'll follow me?" with that the hostess took them to a nice secluded Table for two near the back of the restaurant and handed them there menus when they sat.

"So, anything in particular you want for dinner Cas?" Dean asked as he opened his menu to see what they did.

"A burger if they have one, Dean why did you book a table here?" Castiel asked he was very confused by Dean's behaviour.

"Why not? I thought we could have a nice dinner before we get to Sam's." Dean replied with a shrug pretending to study the menu though it truth watching Cas over the top of it. He was looking round as if he was trying to find the answer to something in the room around them. Dean said on more until there waitress came and took there order of two burgers and two beers. Once she had delivered there drinks Dean knew it was time, as such he took a big swing of his beer before taking a deep breath, and not looking up from the bottle in his hand he started to talk.

"So umm Cas, there was… umm, something I wanted to say." He said but it was at that point no more words would come out of his closing throat, damn why was this so hard?

"Yes Dean? What was that?" Castiel asked when Dean didn't continue.

"Well thing is, I umm, okay, well… I think I'm in love with you." with that Dean looked up at the blue eye man across from him who strangely enough in Dean's mind did not look surprised by his admission. Instead he had a small gentle, proud smile on his lips.

"I thought you did not believe in love." Castiel spoke softly smiling at Dean, amazed that the human had got to the point where he could admit his feelings in such a short time. Proud that Dean had come this far.

"I didn't…not until you anyway. Guess I'm the kind of guy who needs proof before he'll believe, and you Cas, you have proved to me that love does exist. Cos I feel it for you." Dean replied sincerely as he reached across the table and took Cas' hands in his and stared into those mesmerizing blue eyes.

"Dean-" Cas whispered as he started to respond but Dean cut him off.

"No Cas, you don't have to say anything back, I just wanted you to know is all." He said with a nod. He did not want Cas feeling like he had to say it back just because he had said it first.

This caused Castiel to smile even more. How like Dean to not realise that he truly felt the same way.

"I know I do not have to say it back Dean, I want to." He replied with a squeeze of Deans hands, and looking into the humans eyes he could see hope inside. "Before I met you I thought I knew just what love was. I didn't think there was anything about it I did not know. But then I fell for you Dean, and I realised that all I thought I knew was nothing. An academic understanding of an emotion is nothing like experiencing it for yourself and for that I will always be grateful to you Dean. For showing me the error of my ways, and teaching me the true meaning of love. I love you Dean Winchester, and I always will." He finished, everything he said was true. Before Dean he had thought he knew love, he was an angel after all. But Dean had shown him so much, he could never, ever make it up to Dean for that.

"Why'd you make that sound like a goodbye Cas? You going somewhere?" Dean asked suddenly fearful at the tone of Cas' declaration.

"No Dean, I will always be by your side." Castiel promised, and he would, even if Dean could not see him there. He would always be with him.

"Good cos I think I'd like to have you there." Dean replied smiling at the man he loved oblivious to what pain may lie ahead of them both.

With that they shared a smile but Castiel's heart was breaking. Because while what he said was true, he would always be with Dean, he just didn't know how to make it happen. It was then he realised he needed to sort this out, and soon. And there was only one person who could help him now. He was going to have to talk to Gabriel and hope his brother didn't turn him in. But not tonight, no tonight was his last night with Dean before whatever happened… happened and he wasn't going to give that up for anything.

After there declarations Dean and Castiel had a wonderful evening at the restaurant, enjoying their burgers and having, for pudding, pie. Then they made their way outside and Dean drove them to a nice local hotel for Cas' second surprise.

When they pulled up Castiel's eyes widened. This was not the usual run of the mill flea bitten motel, but a nice respectable hotel.

"We are staying here?" He turned to ask the man next him in the car.

"Yeah Cas we are. Come on." Dean replied with a big smile on his face at Cas' reaction. With that he got out and again grabbed Cas' hand as they went in to get there key and find their room.

Once they got there and got inside Castiel couldn't believe his eyes. There was only the smell of clean linen in the room, and the feel of the place was one of tranquillity and relaxation, it was without a doubt perfect. With that thought he turned to Dean and pulled him into an embrace, kissing him passionately to say thank you for what it was he was doing for him. Their last night together would be perfect now.

Later that night, once they were both changed for bed and lying down Castiel turned and kissed Dean once more before pulling back. There was one more thing he wanted that evening.

"Dean, do you think we could try sleeping without our t-shirts this evening? I am not ready for sexual intercourse, but I do wish to feel your skin against mine." He asked completely unabashed by his sentence making Dean chuckle.

"Course Cas. Whatever you want." With that Dean pulled off his tee and then helped Cas out of his. He then lay down and pulled the blued eye man with him so they could lie together sharing kisses and exploring each other's chiselled chest with gentle fingers. That night when Dean finally fell asleep it was once again with Cas wrapped around him, his fingers drawing intricate patterns in Deans skin and his lips planting soft kisses into his humans hair. It was without doubt the most perfect night either of them had experienced to date.

And that night Dean dreamt of many more nights like this, lying in the arms of his angel-like boyfriend, while Castiel lay there and wondered how he was going to make those dreams become a reality, because he had come the conclusion that there was no way he could let Dean go, ever.
