Back at the bunker, Sam watched Dean stuff his duffle bag with clothes, books, essentials, and weapons.
"Dean..."
"Don't, Sam," Dean said, already knowing what he was planning to say, "Just don't."
Sam took a deep breath and walked over. He sat on his bed.
"What do you need me to do," Sam asked gently.
Dean paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to answer him.
"Take care of yourself and your partners," Dean said, "And Cas too."
"That's a given. Anything else," Sam asked.
Dean glanced at him. For a brief moment, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes before they hardened again.
"Take care of Mystic Falls for me," Dean said in almost a whisper.
Sam gave a small, reassuring smile.
"Okay," Sam said, "I will."
Dean stood up, throwing his bag over his shoulder.
"Be careful," Sam said, "Don't trust him..."
"Sam, I was never planning to," Dean reasoned, "I trust his words... But I don't trust that bastard."
Sam walked Dean out of his room. Eileen stood up from the table. She gave a gentle smile and Dean hugged her. He signed 'I'll miss you' to her. Her eyes lit up at seeing he had been practicing.
"I'll miss you too," Eileen said, signing it back to him.
He grinned and turned to Gabriel.
"If you need me to step in at any point," Gabriel said, his voice unusually serious, "You pray to me, okay?"
Dean nodded but Gabriel grabbed his arm.
"I mean it, Dean," Gabriel said.
"I know," Dean said, "Where's Rowena?"
"Here," Rowena said, standing up from the library, "I made something for you. It should help with keeping you off the supernatural radar."
She placed a ring in his hand. He noticed the Salvatore symbol on it, making him swallow thickly.
"Thanks, Rowena," Dean said.
"Do us all a favor and don't get yourself killed this time," Rowena teased with a smile.
Dean smiled back.
"I will try to," Dean said, looking around for Castiel, "I should go..."
"I'm going with you."
Dean turned to see Castiel walking up to him in quick strides.
"No, it's alright," Dean reassured, "I got it, Cas..."
"I'm going whether you want me to or not..."
"Hey," Dean said, grabbing his shoulders, "What's going on?"
Castiel stared at him for a moment.
"I just got you," Castiel said, "I barely got you to myself and it feels like I'm losing you all over again. I can't do that. I won't do that, Dean..."
"You're not losing me," Dean said, "Cas, look at me. You're not losing me, I promise. It won't take long. I will be sure to pray to you every night. Tell you what's happening. See you in my dreams. I'm not going anywhere. Castiel, you still have me."
