Castiel just stared at him. So many questions, yet none of them would come out of his mouth. As if all of his energy decided to leave his body and all at once Castiel dropped to the ground and sat. Dean closed the distance between them in just a few steps and placed a hand on Castiels face.

"Are you okay? Castiel? Why are you bleeding?"

Dean was cupping his face in his hand and holding Castiels injured one with his other hand.

"I'm fine. I punched a tree when your mute monkey left without telling me anything. Well, anything useful that is" Castiel told him, feeling very tired all of the sudden. Dean chuckled as he helped Castiel to his feet.

"He's a man of little words, Benny is" he said as he places Castiel gently into the car. In no time they were out of the woods and flying down the road.

Mazzy Star was playing softly through the speakers as Dean parked Baby next to Castiel's car. Neither one had spoken on the ride home. Dean had wrapped Castiels hand with his tee shirt before they had left the woods and that had been the entirety of their contact. Dean shivered beneath his green hunting coat, not from the cold but because he was more nervous than he every remembered being in his life.

"Castiel..." Dean started right as Castiel turned to him and said in a flat voice "Are you fucking with me?"

Deans face fell and he felt his stomach jump up somewhere around his collarbone. Castiel was so to the point that it looked as if he'd already made up his mind on what Deans answer would be. This was not how things were supposed to go!

Dean placed a hand on Castiels face and just held his gaze. Those brilliant blue eyes drilling a hole through him and Dean had the feeling his entire world was hanging on this moment. On how he answered this question.

Don't fuck it up boy.

"Castiel.." Dean said in a soft voice letting his fingertips press gently into his jaw and slowly guided him closer. Never once taking his eyes off those blue moons before him

"Castiel..no...I..." he whispered their faces so close that he was breathing in the air Castiel exhaled. Almost like they were one, sharing the same breathing space.

"Dean" Castiel breathed before their lips found one another. For all his fight, Dean was gentle with Castiel. As if he were touching the most fragile thing on Earth. Castiel melted into his embraced and their lips flirted and danced perfectly together and for this one moment nothing in the world existed but the two of them. Dean buried his hands in Castiels hair as he gripped Deans shoulders and held him tight against him

Fade into you....Mazzy sung into the night.
