15. Breakup

Cas walked into the library where Sam was sitting, followed by a yelling Dean. With a confused look, Sam waited for one of them to continue their argument, wondering what they could be so upset about.

Since they had started dating a couple of months ago, of course, they've had normal arguments like in every relationship. Especially with the way they argued like an old married couple before they were even together. But nothing had been this bad yet.

"Dean, you don't get it. You just don't get it." Cas turned around to look at Dean. "Cas, explain to me what I did then. If I don't get it, then make me understand." Dean yelled back.

"You can't flirt with a girl, get her number, and fuck her, saying that you didn't mean for that to happen. You can't have sex with someone else and not expect me to be mad, Dean. How would you feel if I ran up to some girl and started flirting with her... or if I ran up to Sam and kissed him?" Cas responded, gesturing towards Sam.

This caused Sam to raise his eyebrows and drop his jaw in shock. "It was a mistake, Cas, i was drunk. It meant nothing. And I told you, I didn't mean for it to happen. It shouldn't have happened." Dean snapped back. "You're right. It shouldn't have happened." Cas turned away from Dean, tears welling in his eyes.

Sam could see how hurt Cas was, Dean had really messed up this time. "Dean..." Sam started to talk, "stay out of it, Sammy." Dean yelled at him before he could continue.

Cas started breathing hard, shifting his eyes around the room. He was trying to think of what to say next. Tears rolled down his cheek as he sniffled loudly. Looking up to gather his thoughts, Cas let out a shuddering breath. Dean realized Cas was crying now, "Cas... im sorry, man. I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm so sorry." He stepped towards Cas, putting his hand out to turn Cas around.

"Get away from me." Cas snapped as he quickly turned around to look at Dean. His nose was a bright pink, his eyes were puffy, and his face was wet with tears. "What...? Cas what are -" Dean pulled his arm back, his voice now soft and all the anger leaving his face.

"I said get away from me, just get the fuck away from me, Dean." Cas' cries were now uncontrollable, he put his hands over his face to muffle them as he slid down the wall to the floor. Dean sat next to him, putting his arms around Cas.

"Hey, come here. I'm sorry, I promise it was just a mistake, I don't like her. I love you, Cas. I only love you. Just tell me how I can make this better. Just tell me how to fix this." Dean hugged Cas and spoke to him softly, Sam watching the whole time. He started smiling, thinking how his brother could act so sweet to his best friend.

"I love you too, Dean. But..." Cas paused, "but what? But what, Cas? Please don't say it..." Dean grabbed Cas' hands and looked into his eyes. Dean looked terrified as if the world was crumbling around him. As if he'd been rewatching every traumatic moment in his life over again.

"I can't believe you did that to me. You say it's a mistake, but how can you make a mistake like that? How can you accidentally have sex with some girl? Not only that, but you got her number while I was sitting right next to you? I loved you through everything. When you were a demon, I loved you. When you were an ass to me, I loved you. When you beat me, I loved you. And you do this to me?" Cas started yelling again. He was getting more angry thinking about how much he'd sacrificed for Dean, only for things to end up like this. 'I should've known. He never keeps relationships like this.' He thought.

"Are you... breaking up with me? Cas, I'm so sorry, please. I'll do anything to make it up to you." Dean pleaded, tears starting to form in his eyes as well. Sam couldn't look away. He knew he should've left earlier on, but now he was worried for their relationship, and he didn't want any awkwardness between the three of them.

"I'm breaking up with you. Dean, I can't be with someone who's gonna cheat on me just because you had a lapse of judgment while you were intoxicated. How could I ever trust you again? I've trusted you after you betrayed us many times, just like you've done for me... it sounds weird saying it, but this is too small of an issue. We've overcome many large situations together, but this isn't big enough to overcome. Please leave me be." Cas struggled to finish talking before his tears took over.

Dean silently stood up and walked to his room, the only sound coming out of him being a small sniffle as he walked away.

Sam walked over to where Cas was sitting, "Hey, Cas... are you ok?" Cas nodded, still crying into his now, tear soaked trench coat. Seeing Cas like this was breaking Sam's heart. He'd never seen Cas so torn apart.

He sat down next to Cas and put an arm around him, trying to offer some support. Cas leaned against him, his sniffles slowly growing quieter. "It's gonna be ok, just relax." Sam spoke quietly, hoping his soft words would make the angel feel better.

Cas stopped crying and looked up at Sam, "Thank you, I'm fine." But Sam could see how bad Dean had broken him. "Here, come sleep in my room tonight, and then you and Dean can work things out after some rest." Sam nodded as he continued, "Come on, let's go." He picked Cas up off the floor, and they walked to Sam's room to go to sleep.

Neither Cas nor Dean could sleep that night. They both tossed and turned, regretting what happened.

The next day, they ignored each other, only giving passing glances as they walked. Sam felt the tension between the two men and hoped they would talk about it soon.

~~~~~~~~~2 months later~~~~~~~~~~

After not talking for so long, Cas and Dean finally sat in a room together long enough that one of them said something.

"So... I've been thinking." Dean started, gaining a curious look from Cas. "Look," Dean sat forward, looking Cas in the eyes, "I know I really really fucked things up. I realize now that what I did is something that relationships don't come back from. I don't know how to tell you how sorry I am, but I want you to - need you to know that I am so so sorry, Cas. And I haven't been able to stop thinking about it, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. I know you probably won't take me back, but I... I still love you, and I would do anything to prove that I won't hurt you again."

Cas thought for a second, "I see. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it either. I accept your apology. Thank you, Dean. I hope to be able to rekindle our friendship." He didn't want to get into it because he was holding a grudge, although he wanted to be mature about it and accept Deans heartfelt apology.

Over the next couple of months, Cas and Dean became best friends again. It was almost as if nothing had ever happened between them.

They decided to restart and try the relationship again. Seeing them dating again and happier than ever made Sam happy for his best friend and his older brother. He was glad it ended well between them, as he wanted nothing more than for both of them to be happy together.
