Cas blinks, confused as he feels Dean's lips on his. He wraps his arms slowly around Dean's waist, bringing him closer and capturing his lips with his own, flicking his tongue playfully along his lips. Dean lets out a soft moan, opening his mouth for Cas, eager for any bit of Cas he can get. "Take me Cas." Dean murmurs.

Cas pulls back, an eyebrow raised "Are you sure?" He asks.

Dean nods. "Yeah. Why?"

Cas sighs softly. "When I take you, it will not be meaningless sex that you are used to. I intend to mate with you, claim you as my own. And I don't mean the small claim that we share now. This means that we will be tied, bonded, our lives forever connected. No more one night stands, no more flings. Are you sure you want to do this?" He asks, looking into his eyes with a stare that reaches his very soul.

Dean doesn't even squirm, staring at him right back and nods. "Absolutely" He replies firmly "I'm done with one night stands and flings. I want us, I want forever."

Cas smiles slightly, kissing his head. "You cannot even begin to comprehend forever Dean. As my mate, you will not age, never grow older. You will watch loved ones grow and eventually die. I will ask you once more. Are you one hundred percent positive you want this? This cannot be broken and I will think no differently of you if you chose not to."

Dean nods again. "No doubt in my mind that this is what I want." He whispers, leaning in and kissing him again.

Sam comes down the stairs, seeing them kissing "'bout time dude" the younger Winchester says with a smile, patting Cas' shoulder as he passes. "Welcome back Cas." He says happily as he heads to his room.

He stops short in the doorway, seeing the trickster sprawled out on his bed with a red lollipop "Hey there Sammich. Miss me?" The archangel asks with his signature smirk in place.

Sam smiles widely, moving forward and kissing him deeply, his smile growing when Gabe returns the action.

Cas grabs Dean's hand, heading towards his bedroom. "The first step is for you to see my halo and wings." He whispers "This prevents those who are unworthy from mating since human and angel bonds are very rare."

Dean tenses slightly, thinking of all the bad he has done in the world. "C-Cas…" He stutters. "Wait."

Cas nods, sitting beside him and pressing a reassuring kiss to his temple. "Do not fear beloved," he whispers, "I know you are worthy. One look at your soul is all it takes. Even when you tortured those souls, when you carried the mark, your soul shone so brightly. It was blinding since the minute I laid eyes on you. Suddenly all I could see was you, you became my whole world. I felt like a moth to a flame. Something unexplainable kept pushing me towards you, I could feel it under my skin. One look and I knew you were meant to be mine."

Dean was staring at Cas in adoration, not sure how to react. He never knew he could make someone feel this way, especially an angel as old as Cas and he slowly nods for him to continue after a few seconds.

Cas stands back up, bringing his wings and halo into the plane of existence. Dean stares in awe as he sees four large black masses unfurling from behind him, the halo glowing brightly and illuminating the room. As he watches Cas flap his wings once to get out any stiffness, he found himself wondering what they felt like, and as if in a trance, walked towards Cas slowly.

Cas watches him closely, a small smile on his face. Dean reaches out, sinking his hand into the soft plumage and Cas lets out a small moan. Dean smiles immediately, sinking his other hand into another wing, ruffling up some of the feathers.

Cas' eyes darken and he picks Dean up, throwing him on the bed with ease with a small growl of arousal. Dean refused to acknowledge how his length twitched to attention at Cas' show of strength. Cas was on him in an instant, all their clothes gone, his wings arching behind him.

Dean tilts his chin up slightly, in what he hoped was a show of dominance. Cas however just smiles, watching Dean bare his neck in submission. He slowly spreads Dean's legs, reaching into his wings and squeezing the oil gland.

Dean's eyes darken and he lets out a low groan as he smells the oil. He could smell the sweet honey and what seemed to smell almost like a thunderstorm. Dean looks at Cas, sees how his wings have arched over them, blacking out any light with the exception of his glowing eyes and smiles cheekily. "Gonna take me or not?" Dean smirks, reaching down and stroking his length once.

Cas growls in response, pinning his arms at his side. "Did I say you can touch?" The angel asks lowly.

Dean moans, his length growing harder under Cas. Cas's eyes glow brighter, his hands tightening enough to bruise. "I asked you a question, boy."

Dean swallows hard, arousal flaring through his entire body "No, daddy." He whispers.

Cas raises an eyebrow, leaning down and kissing him hard, teeth clashing as he sticks one of his oily fingers inside Dean.

Dean lets out a mewl of pleasure, his back arching. "Faster Cas please. I need you so bad-" and he sinks his hands back into his wings. He finds one of his oil glands and with a smirk, he squeezes it hard.

Cas lets out a moan, his wings fluttering and his eyes close. "Damn you, Dean." he mutters. When he opens his eyes again, there was a thin ring of blue, his grace glowing brightly as he watches Dean lift his hand and slowly licks off the oil. "I was going to take you nice and slow, but not after that little stunt." He growls.

He pulls out his finger, sliding in quickly and using his grace to ease the burn, thrusting hard. Dean clenches around Cas, tugging gently on the plumage to spur him on. As Cas leans down lower to kiss him again, Dean smirks again and with a devilish look in his eyes, he grabs his halo.

Cas lets out a low growl, his wings flaring out wide and slams into his prostate with a well aimed thrust. "You are going to be the death of me." The angel says lowly before biting his shoulder hard.

Dean cries out hard, flipping them over and using Cas' halo as leverage, begins to ride him like this is his last night on Earth. He pulls himself almost all the way off before slamming himself down, letting out dirty moans and whimpers of Cas' name.

Cas starts stroking his length "Come with me Dean." He says lowly before arching his back and coming hard inside Dean.

Dean nods, coming all over Cas' chest with a cry of his name.

Cas mutters a few words in Enochian, his hand glowing as he places it over his old brand and Dean, by some miracle understands him. "I bind myself to you Castiel." He mutters softly.

Both their eyes glow for a second before fading and Cas smiles softly, pulling him off and down for a gentle kiss before wrapping him up in his wings. "Sleep Dean." Cas whispers. "I will watch over you."

Dean nods and for the first time in a long time, there are no tears as he falls asleep.

When Dean wakes up in the morning, he doesn't immediately open his eyes, instead choosing to just revel in the feeling of the soft feathers on his face and the safeness he felt in Cas' arms. He feels a soft kiss on his forehead and smiles as he hears, "Hello Dean. How did you sleep?"

Dean turns over, looking at his mate. "Great," He whispers, kissing him deeply. "The best I've slept in a while."

Cas smiles fondly. "Come Dean, Gabriel has made breakfast."

Dean pouts playfully, wanting to stay where he was all day but nods, his stomach grumbling. "Okay okay I'm coming." He grumbles, climbing out of bed and heading down, Cas behind him like always

Sam was sitting at the table, Gabriel next to him putting way too much whipped cream on his chocolate chip pancakes.

Gabriel looks up when he hears Dean and Cas, throwing them a smirk. "Hey there Deano, Cassie. I'm baaack" He hums.

Cas looks at Gabriel in surprise before giving him a hug. "I've missed you brother." Cas whispers.

Gabriel returns the hug. "I've missed you too little brother."

Cas looks at Sam closely when he pulls back and then at Gabriel. Gabriel shrugs, "What? Think you're the only one who got yourself a Winchester?"

Dean looks between the two of them "Dude, you banged the trickster?" Dean asks Sam, his face showing his surprise.

Gabriel laughs, kissing Sam briefly before going back to his seat. "Oh he did more than bang me Deano"

Dean looks at Sam surprised "you mated the fucking trickster?"

Sam nods once, intently focusing on his breakfast but Dean slowly smiles, patting his shoulder as sits across from him "If you're happy, I'm happy for you" he says softly before turning to Gabe "If you hurt him, I'll deep fry you in holy oil"

Gabe holds his hands up "Relax Dean, I would never hurt Sam. You have my word"

Dean smiles, relaxing into Cas' side, Miracle licking his leg. As Cas put his arm around his shoulder, he finally felt something he hasn't felt in a very long time. He felt complete, he felt at home with his angel, with his family. He knew everything was going to be okay.
