It was 7th day from that night when Cas finally agreed to sleep, well, agreed is loosely put, Cas had only relented after Dean threatened him, and even then he had done it with clear reluctance.
He had already put sigils everywhere—against demons and angels alike—but he still refused to sleep. So Dean threatened that unless Cas slept, he wouldn't eat. Cas eventually agreed, but on one condition.
He would sleep for an hour because he promised that he would watch over Dean, so Dean to make sure Cas slept more than an hour made Cas sleep next to him, with some distance between them, of course.
But slowly their friendship grew into more, they didn't notice, but everything they did was a little more closer.
A week turned into a month and now it was the 7th week since Cas first arrived and that's the first time Dean noticed the change in their relationship.
He woke up to see sunlight spilling through the curtains and turned to see Cas reading on the bed next to him, "Oh come on Cas! How long have you been up now?", Dean asked.
"Good morning Dean", Cas replied not looking away, "Yeah, yeah, answer me did you get proper sleep?", Dean asked.
"I allowed my grace to rest for approximately three and a half hours. I am sufficiently refreshed", Cas said and that finally made Dean Winchester open his eyes properly.
He pushed himself up onto one elbow and studied Cas carefully, the angel did look rested, "I am learning more about sex in this book than anything else I have read or seen over 7 billion years", Cas stated sarcasm slipping into his voice and Dean looked at the book, SUPERNATURAL BY CARVER EDLUND.
He covered his face plopping back onto the bed, "Don't read that, Cas", he muttered and Cas looked at him to see his neck so red.
"Don't be embarrassed Dean, I'm learning things, my students recommended this, it seems they have a crush on you, so I thought I'd give it a go", Cas replied and ran his finger through Dean's hair smiling.
Dean moved his hands away and looked up at Cas, this was not new to them, somewhere along the line of the previous six weeks of Cas sleeping next to him, he had woken up few times to Cas running his fingers through Dean's hair and well, Dean loved it.
"It is embarrassing Cas, you can read everything there, including my thoughts during sex", Dean said not looking away from the blue eyes.
"Yes and according to this book, you appear to prefer when women take charge", Cas said, "Stop talking, don't you have class today?", Dean asked quickly, desperate to change the subject and Cas chuckled and nodded.
"So let's get ready and forget about the book", he said and Cas laughed, he had started laughing more over the past few weeks—whether they were watching movies, arguing about music, or going for late-night drives.
Dean made a mental score and got up, his room was different to when he bought the house and settled.
Now there were picture frames in the wall too, whether it was just him or just Cas or sometimes when it was both of them.
Dean always tried to set up some kind of "tough guy" pose when he took the photos, but somehow the pictures always ended up candid instead—one of them laughing, Cas looking confused at the camera, or Dean caught mid-smirk.
The best ones, though, were the accidental ones, the ones where they had both forgotten about the camera and ended up just looking at each other at the same time, or one looking at the other with so much love in the eyes.
Cas snapped his fingers and changed out of his outfit, they did go shopping and Dean had bought him few clothes for Uni, but Cas refused anything else except Dean's at home and Dean loved that.
