Hello my darlings. I would like to thankLittle Cinch and Hllo-Beastie (Guest) for the lovely reviews. I would also like to thank those of you who have followed and favoured since my last update.
So here is the next chapter, I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
Dean woke the next morning still cocooned in Cas' arms and, wait was that feather, what the hell? Opening his eyes Dean found that yes indeed he was covered in feathers rather than the motel duvet, turning to Cas with a question in his eyes he found his angel smiling down at him.
"My wings are just as warm as the duvet and definitely cleaner." He said in answer to Dean's unasked question.
"Well good to know that my boyfriend will keep me warm no matter where we are." Dean replied after half a second of processing the words. He had heard the slightly unsure undertone of Cas' words and as such decided he really didn't mind waking up wrapped in wings, hell he loved it actually (who needed a duck-down duvet when you had an angel), and as such decided to snuggle himself into them more firmly.
At Deans burrowing behaviour Castiel had to laugh. It was, in the angels mind, completely adorable. But be that as it may, they had things to do today, things that didn't include lying in bed. Though now that he knew he would be spending the rest of Dean life with him the idea of a more intimate relationship did indeed appeal to the angel. But that was for later. Right now they needed to get up so they could go and see Sam and Jess. He though it would be better if Dean drove over than if he just flew them there. So Dean really had to get up, even if Castiel could clean and clothe him in a second.
"Come Dean. We must go see your brother." Castiel said trying without any real wish to, to make his beloved get out of bed.
"Don't want to." Dean replied, his voice muffed by the feathers he had buried his face in.
"Dean, you know you do. My wings will still be here this evening." Castiel argued, yet there was a smile in his tone.
"Promise?" Dean asked lifting his head so he could see Cas' eyes.
"Yes Dean, I promise." Castiel replied with a chuckle at his human antics.
"Okay, I guess I better shower then." Dean said, still not moving from the bed.
"I could do that for you if you wish." Castiel suggested, and through he meant it in purely the way he could wish Dean clean in a second his mind went to images of Dean naked in the running water and him soaping him.
"Really?" Dean asked, though whether his mind had gone where Castiel's had or not the angel was unsure, but either way the answer was the same in his mind.
"Yes."
"Then why have you been having a shower every morning, hmm?" Dean asked with a twinkle in his eye catching Cas out in what he thought was a lie.
"So I would be human. I have not been going into the water just running it for the appropriate amount of time." Castiel replied with a smirk at his human.
"Really? What else have you just been pretending to do?" Dean asked getting himself up on his elbows so he could look Cas in the eye properly.
"Breathing? As an angel I don't need to do so." Castiel suggested.
"Yeah I guessed that from the kissing." Dean replied his eyes automatically going to the angel lips.
"What, you mean like this?" And with that Castiel captured Dean's lips with his own for a searing and extremely long kiss. Dean eventually had to pull away and take a massive breath otherwise he would have passed out. Looking over at his angel he saw a smug grin on his face and rolled his eyes.
"Yeah like that." And with that Dean pulled himself out of the arms and wings that surrounded him. He liked his morning showers they gave him time to think. Though in truth he knew, that this morning the only thing on his mind would be the angel he was leaving in the bed. The angel he loved and for some insane reason loved him in return. Yeah life was good right now. As such Dean refused to even think about the possibility of the other shoe falling and the shit hitting the fan.
Sam on the other hand had been thinking of nothing else since he woke. Yeah Cas said that this Gabriel could sort all the heaven and angel stuff, but how did he really know? It seemed to Sam as if Cas was a little short on deals, and the lawyer inside of him demanded to know them all. As such he was preparing himself to ask Cas to bring his brother down so he could explain himself to Sam's satisfaction. He didn't want the possibility of Dean being hurt hanging over his obviously happy relationship with Castiel.
Castiel and Dean turned up at Sam's at a reasonable time in the impala making Sam briefly wonder if he had dreamed everything that had happened last evening, but even his imagination wasn't that vivid.
Once everyone was seated with drinks, non-alcoholic of course, in their hands Sam took a deep breath.
"Right I would like to discuss with Gabriel his plan for make sure nothing happens to Dean." He stated with far more bravo than he felt.
"Very well." Castiel replied and closed his eyes. The next minute there was that flutter that Sam was going to have to associate with angels, and suddenly, there standing in the middle of his living room was a blonde haired man.
"Cassie, what's going on?" Gabriel asked warily looking at the three humans he had appeared to.
"Sam would like to know you're stagey for keeping Dean and I together." Castiel replied nodding his head towards the appropriate human making Gabriel turn to him with his eyebrows raised.
"Oh he now would he?" He asked in disbelief, was this human questioning his abilities?
"I'm a lawyer-" Sam started to explain only for Gabriel to cut him off.
"And I'm an archangel, so?" Gabriel asked confrontationally because really, this guy had no idea what he was up against.
"Well I just think that I would be able to help you formulate a case." Sam suggested, through his belief in his abilities to help Gabriel had diminished somewhat under his gaze.
"I'll tell you what Sammy, you leave me to deal with the angels and you can deal with the human side of things." Gabriel suggested as if he was compromising with the man.
Sam was about to agree when a thought suddenly came to him. "What human side?" he asked confused.
"Exactly." Came the reply from the archangel as he flew away with a flutter of wings.
"My brother can be somewhat-" Castiel started to say, trying to find the right word to describe Gabriel.
"Annoying?" Sam suggested, he was not a happy human right now.
"Yes annoying. But he has what is best for Dean and me at heart." Castiel continued completely oblivious to Sam's anger. Dean found this rather amusing.
Sam sighed as he realised that even if he wanted to there was no way he could help his brother with this, it was all up to Gabriel. "If you're sure." He said in a defeated voice.
"I am." Castiel replied with a smile at Sam hoping to convince him that he was making the right decision, even if the decision had really been taken out of his hands.
"Okay, so what now?" Sam asked the two sitting together once more on the couch.
"Well I was thinking of taking Cas on a road trip." Dean said into the room.
"Really Dean? Don't you think you have done enough traveling?" Sam asked thinking that now Dean was in a relationship he would settle down.
"No, why should I?" Dean asked completely confused by his brother's sentence.
"I agree with Dean. After all, my work takes me all over the world. I would like to see as much of it as I can with your brother." Castiel added his voice to the argument, if he was honest if Dean had wanted to settler down he would have been all for that as well. As long as he was with Dean he really didn't care where they were.
"Fine. We'll see you when you next pass through town then? But you keep us updated with everything, you hear?" Sam demanded. He knew a lost cause when he saw one, and fighting his brother on this would not go well for him.
"Yes Sammy, I promise to write home every week and everything." Dean replied with a roll of his eyes at his brother's statement.
"Dean." Sam said with one of his favourite bitchface expression's he saved just for his brother.
"Laters." Dean replied, and with that Dean and Castiel flew out of Sam's living room and back to the impala which Dean then drove rather too quickly back to their motel. He may have told Sam he wanted to take a road trip, but he never said he wanted to do it right now. No, now he had much more entertaining things to explore, likes Cas' wings, Cas' body, and well, Cas' everything really. Not that the angel minded this plan of action at all. In fact he was rather in favour of it, only countering it with his own which involved the exploration of Dean as much as the human explored him.
