Online Ties (Destiel/Sabriel)

19 - They're So Obvious

Dean, Cas and Charlie all arrived at Cas's apartment. Charlie immediately claimed the bed in the spare room that Cas had, before closing the door and ignoring them and probably going to read fanfics all night.

"You need sleep," Cas said, looking at Dean as Dean looked around the apartment.

"What's with the lolly wrappers?" Dean asked. Cas just sighed.

"Gabriel was here. What do you expect?"

Dean shrugged before yawning, and Cas gave him a soft look.

"Dean, you need to sleep."

"Fine," Dean said, struggling to keep his eyes open. He started to walk over to the couch but Cas grabbed his arm.

"You are not sleeping on the couch," Cas said.

"Then where do I sleep?" Dean said, his voice getting slurred from tiredness. He really should've slept on the plane.

Cas put his arm around Dean's shoulders and led him to the bedroom, keeping Dean steady as the tiredness began to affect his walking. He gently nudged Dean down onto the bed and Dean flopped down onto his back, closing his eyes.

"Where will you sleep?" Dean said quietly.

"I guess I'll take the couch," Cas said slowly.

"Noo that's not fair, it's your house."

"There's not really anywhere else to sleep."

Dean was quiet for a moment before forcing his eyes open to grab Cas's arm and pull him onto the bed.

"Dean I think you're too tired to think coherently," Cas said, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Don't care," Dean murmured. "Sleep here."

"Dean I'm not sure if this is really a good idea..."

"Caaas angel come on."

Cas just melted at the use of Dean's nickname for him, and lied down beside Dean. Then realized he was falling off the edge of the bed and climbed over Dean to the other side where there was more room. Then looked at Dean and saw him watching him.

"Go to sleep," Cas said, ignoring the blush that came to his cheeks from Dean's intense stare.

"Fine," Dean said, pouting. He rolled over onto his side...and put an arm around Cas.

"Dean?" Cas asked, tensing.

"You're warm," Dean murmured, putting his face to Cas's neck. Cas could feel his breath over his skin and took a shaky breath.

"Go to sleep Dean," Cas said. Dean made some sort of little noise. Cas sighed as Dean's breathing evened out, feeling the steady rise of Dean's chest against his side. This was going to be a difficult night.

Charlie woke up and ventured through Cas's apartment to find Cas and Dean asleep together. She smiled. Her plan at taking the only other available bed had worked.

Dean had an arm around Cas, while Cas had his back against Dean's chest. They looked adorable. Charlie took photos for blackmail.

"Castiel wake up!" Charlie yelled. "I don't know where food is in your house." Cas made a mumbling sound, blinking his eyes open slowly. Charlie smirked and then ran out of the room, leaving Cas to the realization of how he was sleeping.

Cas was surprised to feel the warmth beside him as he woke up. It took him a few moments to realize that the warmth was coming from Dean. Who was asleep beside him. And hugging him.
