Disclaimer: I don't own SPN.

I've recently started on Wattpad (under the name BuhByeSocialLife) and I'm waiting on an invite from AO3, so this is no longer my only site. Also, I've tried my hand at the artistic side of things and I've managed to produce two designs on Redbubble that you can check out if you want :D ( people / latersociallife)

Thanks to mollienaturerocks and noxsoulmate for their reviews! :D

3. Realisation

Castiel knew exactly when he'd realised that he loved Dean. He had spent forty long years trying to save this Righteous Man and then he had had to piece Dean back together, piece by piece, atom by atom, molecule by molecule. Sometime during that process, he knew, he had begun to love Dean Winchester. After all, how could one view another so intimately and not love them?

Castiel also knew that Dean didn't like him at first. Dean had barely tolerated him during their first few times together. But then he had confessed to Dean that he wasn't a hammer; he had doubts and he had fears. He knew that he could be tortured and killed in Heaven for even daring to think these thoughts but it was Dean he was telling. Dean wouldn't tell another soul. He trusted Dean implicitly, despite Dean only having known him for a short time.

Because he loved Dean and was that not what one was supposed to do with those they loved?
