"Sometimes, I just get scared you're going to realize that I'm not as good as you thought I was... and leave." Dean whispered into the dark. They laid together, limbs tangled but only underneath the covers, hidden from any boy that might be awake. Cas had snuck into his bed late that night, having woke up from a nightmare again and unable to calm himself. The warmth of him next to him made Dean unable to sleep, and they had been whispering to each other softly.

Castiel sighed, pressing an open mouth kiss to his shoulder. Dean shivered, the slight touch making his body react in ways that were not appropriate for this moment.

"Dean.... I don't see myself without you. This past year has been the best of my life surprisingly..... And only because of you." Dean sucked in a breath, three words they hadn't dared utter coming up in between his teeth. He clamped down hard, trying to keep the words from flying out, but they slipped up his tongue and flowed through his lips easily.

"I love you." He heard Cas gasp, felt him tense up against him. He wanted to take it back, wanted to say he didn't mean it.... but he did. He meant every vowel, every syllable that he had said. So he stayed silent, watching the range of emotions flow across Cas's face.

After a moment Dean felt him relax. He leaned closer to him, his head laying down on his chest and his hand coming up on to his belly.

"I love you too Dean. With everything I have."
