93. Watch

When Castiel woke up, his first thought was that he was very warm. And it wasn't from the many blankets he was tangled in to stave off the last of the dawning spring chills; no, it was from the warm body he was pressed into and the firm arms that were encircling his chest tight enough to hold him in place but loose enough to let him move around.

Carefully turning over, Castiel saw that Dean was still asleep, faint snores escaping his mouth as he breathed (Dean maintained that he did not snore but Sam and Castiel insisted otherwise). Castiel felt warmth begin to blossom inside him as he just lay there, staring at the sleeping face of the person he loved more than anybody else he had ever loved before. Dean had always been annoyed at Castiel's habit of staring at him while he slept but Castiel just couldn't help it; the only time that Dean had ever truly looked peaceful was when he was sleeping (providing that he didn't experience any nightmares). The only sight more beautiful than a sleeping, peaceful Dean was his human's very soul: a bright, rapturous, magnificent sight that Castiel very much missed being able to see.

With no important matters to attend to at the moment, Castiel shifted to allow himself to fall further into the bed and Dean's embrace and then he very carefully wrapped his arms around Deans torso and settled down, content to just watch his human sleep as he had always loved to do.
