Bitten

The sick day

A few months later
Dean's POV
It's been a few months since Cas and I have had that conversation about me getting my own place. In those months I've gotten a job at an auto shop. They pay $100 dollars an hour and I absolutely love my job.

Cas has been super nice to me by driving me to work every morning and picking me up at night. I have to be at work at 5:00 in the morning and sometimes close up the shop which isn't until 9:30 at night. It's a lot of hours but hey, at least I make a lot of money. I have the weekends off and I basically spend them with Cas and Bryan. They really like hanging out with me. Sarah still doesn't like me but you know what, I'm fine with that. I don't care if she likes me or not.

Anyway, now I've been able to buy an apartment and Cas helped me set up my apartment. He came with me to pick out a bedroom set and he helped me pick out furniture. He's got good taste in how to design an apartment.

It's a small apartment but it's fine for me. Plus, I'm the only one living there so, it works out fine.

I also bought a car because I felt bad that Cas had to drive me to work and back. It's a 1967 black Chevy Impala. Let me just tell you, it was super expensive but, man did I love my car. I wash it, clean it, and never anyone touch it. Only I can.

When I moved out, Bryan was pretty sad about it. He said he would miss me and that I was the best friend he's ever had. I told him I would visit whenever I could and I have been. I go there every Saturday and just hang out with him.

{Today}
Today is Thursday and I was supposed to be at work but I'm sick so I called out. My boss said is so nice that he gave me 3 days off of work just so that I could get better. He's so nice. He's like my second father. His name is Bobby and he said that I was the best mechanic he's ever hired.

It's only 5:00 in the morning so I go back to sleep.

{10:00 a.m}
Still Dean's POV
It was 10:00 when I woke up again. I called Cas and told him that I wasn't going into work today. I told him that I didn't feel well and he immediately said that he was coming over.

"Cas, I don't want you getting sick." I said.

"Dean, vampires can't get sick from human sickness. I'll be at your apartment shortly." He said before he hung up.

I sat on the couch for a few minutes before weakly making my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I was so thankful to have him as a friend. He really was an amazing friend.

~30 minutes later~
There was a knock at my door and I immediately knew it was Cas. I opened the door and I let him in.

He had two plastic bags in his hand.

"What's in the bag?" I asked him, my throat burning with every word.

"Soup. I also got you some medicine . I got you cough drops because you're voice sounded kind of scratchy." He said as he took the container of soup out of the plastic bag.

"Thank you so much for all of this, Cas. You're amazing." I said to him and smiled.

"You're welcome, Dean. I'm sorry you're sick." He said.

"I'll get better." I said to him.

I held my nose as I sneezed.

"Bless you." He said and handed me a tissue.

"Thanks Cas." I say before blowing my nose.

"You're welcome, Dean." He said.

He put some soul in a bowl and put the bowl in the microwave for a minute and 30 seconds.

Cas' POV
I was glad to do this for Dean. I felt bed that he was sick. At least I could look after and help someone when they're sick. I've kind of always wanted to be a doctor but you know, dreams never come true for some people.

This is the closest I'll ever get to being a doctor. It's better than nothing.

The microwave beeped and I took the soup out of the microwave. I got a spoon for Dean and carried the soup to the table.

"Come sit." I said to Dean.

He came over, sat down, and slowly started eating the soup. He looked weak so I sat down next to him, took the spoon from his hand, and started feeding him.

I took in his appearance. He was wearing a pair of sweat pants, a gray t-shirt, and I black sweater zipped halfway up. He had crazy bed hair, his eyes were still really green but they didn't shine the way they normally do, and all his other facial features were the same way I remember them being. Perfect.

I started getting a feeling in my chest and it felt like it was beating faster and faster every second. I felt my heart start to flutter and my stomach was starting to get butterflies. The whole world around me just disappeared. It was just Dean and I. Nothing else mattered at that moment except Dean.

I was in love with Dean.

Why did it take me so long to realize it? I was in love with Dean this whole time and I never realized it until now? What am I supposed to do? What if he doesn't feel the same way about me the way I feel about him? I can't tell him. I just can't. I don't want to ruin our friendship just because I'm in love with him. I wasn't going to lose my best friend just because I was in love with him. I just wasn't going to do it.
