Bitten

The End

Dean's POV
I slowly stood up after Cas had taken off. I was trying to figure out what had just happened. Did I do something wrong? Did he not love me as much as he used to?

That would probably explain why he just ran out like that. Or maybe he just wasn't ready to get married. I don't know the answer to that.

Tears fall from my eyes as I close the box. I wipe the tears away but more of them fall. I don't bother wiping them this time. I just let them fall.

I hold the box in my hand and go into my room. I open up my shirt drawer and buried the box all the way in the back of the drawer.

I didn't want to see that box ever again.

I close the drawer, crawl into my bed, set my alarm for work tomorrow, and cry myself to sleep.

Cas' POV
I wipe the tears away from my face as I soar through the air. The cold wind running through my wings as I flew at full speed.

Why did you have to do that, Cas? You couldn't have just said yes and been happy?

No brain, I couldn't. Sam hates me. I'm sure he would hate me even more if I married his brother. It's bad enough I turned Dean into a vampire, but to marry his brother, that would probably throw Sam over the edge.

But Cas, you and Dean are so happy together. Why does it matter what Sam thinks? It's not you and Sam. It's you and Dean. It's your lives.

Brain, it matter because it's Dean's brother. He's Dean's family and if Sam doesn't like me, then I can't be with Dean. That's just the way it works.

Whatever Cas, think what you want. I'm out of here.

With that I fly all the way to Gabriel's house and I get there at 10:30. I land at his front door and call him to know that I'm at his house. He unlocks the door and pulls me into a tight embrace as soon as he see's me crying.

I hug him back tightly as well.

We pull away and I walk into his house.

"Cas, what happened?" He asks me, concern clear in his voice.

"I did something so stupid." I told him through my tears.

He motions me to sit down and I sit down on his couch. He sits next to me and I start telling him everything. Everything from Dean and I first meeting all the way to when Dean proposed to me.

"I'm so sorry, Cas. But, why did it matter what his brother thought of you?" He asks me.

"Because it just does. It's Dean's brother. I'm not going to disrespect Dean's brother just because Dean and I were together. It's not right." I said.

"I'm sorry, Cas. What are you going to do now?" He asked me.

"I don't know. Maybe I should go over to Sam's house and say sorry to have been such an inconvenience in his life. Actually, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Bye Gabe." I said getting up from the couch and heading out of Gabe's house.

I only had to fly an hour to get to Sam's house. I saw that Sam's car was in the driveway, so I landed at his front door and rang the doorbell.

He answered it and almost slammed the door in my face but I stopped the door with my foot.

"Sam, please just listen." I say and go inside.

"What Castiel?" He snaps at me.

"Look, why do you hate me so much?" I asked him trying to keep my voice calm.

"Oh I don't know, maybe because I'm a hunter and I hunt your kind. Maybe it's because you turned my brother into one of your kind." He snaps coldly.

"I didn't want to turn him before I actually did it. Look, he was dying and his dying wish was for me to turn him so that's why I did it. He wanted me to. It wasn't my decision. I even told him that I didn't want to turn him because I didn't want to put him through the pain of becoming a vampire." I said and let out a breath.

"Why did you even come here, Castiel?" He asks me coldly.

"I came here because I just wanted to apologize for being an inconvenience in your life. I know you hate me and that you want me out of your brothers life. So, you're getting your wish. I'll be out of your brothers life for good. I just want you to know that I love your brother very much, if you hate me, I'll get out of his life. Good bye, Sam." I said before leaving his house and flying back to my house.

~11:30 p.m~
Dean's POV
It's 11:30 at night and I still can't sleep. I just can't get the image of Cas speeding out of my apartment out of my head. My tears keep falling and falling.

I decide to call Sam and tell him what happened. Maybe he would help me get rid of my thoughts.

"Hello?" I hear Sam say on the phone.

"Hey Sam, can I talk to you about something?" I ask.

"Sure, what's up Dean?" He asks me.

"Well, today was Cas and I's 3 year anniversary and I proposed to him but he said no and he just ran out of my apartment. Have you seen him anywhere?" I asked him.

Sam was silent for a minute.

"Yeah, he was just here. But Dean?" He said, worry starting to fill his voice.

"Yeah Sam?" I ask.

"Dean, there's something I have to tell you." He said hesitantly.

"What is it, Sammy?" I ask him.

He starts explaining and as I'm listening to him talk, I start understanding the reason why Cas said no to me.

It wasn't because he didn't love me, I wasn't because he wasn't ready to marry me, but it was because Sam hated him and he didn't want Sam to hate him anymore.

"Sam..." I said uncertain what to say.

"I'm sorry, Dean. I thought I was doing the right thing." He said.

"Sam, Cas and I are in love. We love each other. You can't fight love. You can't try to break two people up just because you don't like one person. It's not your relationship." I said to him.

"I'm sorry, Dean." He said.

"It's fine. But, do you know where Cas is?" I asked him.

"No, sorry Dean." He says.

"Ok, bye." I say and hang up the phone.

I hop out of bed and decide to check to see if Cas is at his house. I arrive and he is at his house.

I knock at his door and he opens the door. His eyes are red and raw from crying and him wiping his tears away.

"Dean, I can explain." He starts.

"Cas, it's ok. Sam already told me everything but now that he's thought about what you said to him earlier, he's fine with us being together." I tell him.

"Really?" He says, surprise in his voice.

I nod.

"I'm sorry for hurting your back there. I wanted to say yes really badly but Sam." He said.

"I know, Cas. Everything is ok, now. Now we can be together." I say.

"I love you so much, Dean Winchester." He says happily with a smile.

"I love you, too Castiel Novak." I say with a smile and we kiss passionately.
