The three of them went to Dean's dorm room. Sam had done research on how to use it.
"So get this, we have to twist the hour glass the amount of hours we want to go back. But we only have five hours in the past timeline before we seriously mess things up."
"We just need to convince Dean not to kill himself. Hopefully that won't take too long!"
Charlie said, with a sad smile. She had intended it to be taken jokingly, but had instead caused reflective silence to befall the trio.
"Anyway, let's get Dean back."
Cas said, his hopeful blue eyes staring into the sky.
Sam twisted the time turner, and the three of them watched as the room transformed around them, until they finally saw Dean enter the room, crying with a bleeding lip.
"This was after our fight."
Cas whispered.
They watched Dean collapse onto the floor, and drum his fists on the floorboards. Cas felt an overwhelming flood of guilt.
"God, this is all my fault."
Cas whimpered.
Dean looked up.
"Cas? Sam? Charlie? What are you guys doing here?"
"We're from the future."
Charlie blurted out.
"Wow, way to ease him into it."
Sam said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Charlie lightly slapped him on the shoulder.
"Well, What was I supposed to say?"
Dean interrupted them.
"Wait- how come you guys are here?"
"We stole dad's time turner."
"Why?"
"We misses you a lot. I missed you, more than you could imagine."
Cas said, gazing intensely at Dean.
He went over to pull Dean in for a hug, but Dean backed away.
"What do you mean you missed me? Did I die? How far in the future are you guys from."
"2 weeks."
Dean furrowed his eyerbrows.
"2 weeks, when do I die?"
"Today."
Cas said grimly.
"Why, because of our fight?"
Dean asked.
"We both suffered that night Dean."
Cas stammered.
Dean sighed.
"Well, if I remember correctly, my boyfriend cheated on me, with Balthazar, and then punched me in the face!"
Cas was on the verge of tears.
"That's not what happened, Dean- Balthazar was telling you lies! I was heading to yours, when Balthazar found me,he had two friends with him. They beat me up- I could barely walk- then Balthazar took me into the room of requirement and he forced me to..to..he.."
Cas broke down, crying uncontrollably, he collapsed into Dean's arms.
Cas gripped him tight, as Dean held Cas close and cried with him.
"Oh, Cas, I had no idea...I'm so sorry.."
Dean whispered into his ear.
"It's okay," Cas reassured him. "You just need to make up with past Cas, so we can return to our timeline."
Dean nodded vigorously, before turning to Sam and Charlie, he ruffled Sammy's hair, and gave Charlie a kiss on the cheek before running off to
Cas' dorm.
