One last time. One last fight

realisation

After Dean had his heart to heart with Sam he left the two alone until Cas woke up.

Reluctantly, the pair went downstairs in search of food, and although they were silent both had many thoughts in their heads.

Dean had began to think about how he and Cas were going to need to get an apartment then he would remember that he would have to give up hunting  and he wasn't sure he could do that he wasn't sure what that meant for him and Cas, he was dead sure though that Castiel was the love of his life and no matter what happened he wanted to be with him forever and no one would ever be able to take his place.

Castiel on the other hand was daydreaming, no serious thoughts like he probably should be thinking, but ones that made his stomach do little flips and tense up and others that made him want to turn a violent shade of scarlet. They all revolved around him and Dean. One of them in particular he liked the most; the three of them were working on a case and had spent the evening in the motel doing research. Dean and Cas had waited until Sam was snoring then sneeked out for a drive, Dean finally parking his beloved impala next to a clearing and sat on the bonnet with him, they watched the sky and made out till sun rise, just like old times.

All too soon the men were ripped from their thoughts of each other. " WHAT D'YOU MEAN YOU GOTTA GO BACK THERE?!" came Bobby's voice from the kitchen, "The archangels are still hunting Castiel and my absence has made them suspicious, i have a day until i need to be back there so i can help you get him to relative safety if you so require my assistance." That had to be Haniel thought Castiel, and he told Dean but didn't get to finish explaining because they both heard Sam angered voice, " I don't know if you two will actually understand what has happened to Dean, no offense Bobby but i do spend like 24/7 with the guy. Castiel is the best thing that has ever happened to him. Losing Dad the way we did put Dean in a bad place, then he went and threw his life away committing his soul to hell.. for me.. he wasn't exactly right when he came out but once Cas began helping he improved, more than that Castiel fixed Dean, i've never seen him so happy, i though he had found it with Lisa and Ben but this is something different, the time those two spent in purgatory bought them closer in the end and then to loose Cas tore him apart. I'm making a decision and i don't care if either of you agree with me I am going to fight for them, I am not going to force them into hiding Dean is a hunter and a Winchester, he wouldn't allow that to happen and would end up getting himself into even more trouble. we are not going to hide because some angels got their feathers ruffled and that's final, you're either going to help me or not!"

Dean stood dead still after everything Dean had put Sam through, he still cared deeply. He had never before heard such fight in Sam's voice. "Dean?" whispered Cas, he watched as a single tear rolled down rolled down his face, it caught on Deans nose and Cas kissed it away, wrapping his arms around the man he loved so much, he whispered comforts into Dean's ear trying to calm him whilst his world began to tumble down. Dean was crying, yes Dean Winchester was crying and inside he was chastising himself for being such a wimp but he had good reason. Not only does his brother care about him a hell of allot more than he ever expected, Dean had actually told Sam that he had to kill him yet he was still willing to risk his life against angels all for the sake of his heart. That and he was so in love with castiel and over joyed with Castiel's return he had forgotten all about the price on his boyfriends head.

Once Dean regained his composure he walked hand in hand with Cas into the kitchen. He refused to look like a pussy now after all the effort he had put into looking tough. Once in the kitchen he surveyed his company nodding to Bobby and Haneil. His gaze finally landed on Sam. "Dude, technically i owe you a broken nose now you mentioned Lisa and Ben, but after what you just said I'm not going to be a dick" solemnly sam told dean, "It's cool bro, you deserve it after the hell you've been through. I just want you to be happy." Dean nodded close to tears all over again " you are the best little bro anyone could ask for," he said directing it at Sam, "now before this turns into a total chick flick moment can i please get some pie?" everyone but Haneil chortled at Dean's humour in the face of adversity. Good old Dean Winchester even when the on the run from heavens host he still wanted pie.
