When Time Runs Out (Johnlock X Destiel)

There's Always Time

(A/N Last chapter before the Epilogue!)

Waking up, Cas is sleeping on the floor and Dean sleeps alone in the big bed. Sam sighs, and wonders what will happen with the 2 of them. Light streams through the window, and he checks their plane tickets to make sure they're on time. Tucking them back in the side pocket of his already packed bag, he wakes the others and they all load their bags into the waiting taxi.

"Take us to 221B Baker Street." Sam says, and the cabbie pulls out of the parking lot.

"Sam, what are you doing?" Dean asks and leans over Cas, who is in between them, to look at his brother.

"I want to return the key to that landlady. She was so nice, and I don't to make her cut a new one." Sam says and holds up the silver key.

Dean huffs and leans back into the seat, muttering something about missing their flight. Him and Cas are sitting close to each other, but not touching. It infuriates Sam, and he's so glad to get out of the taxi and walk up to the front door. Ignoring the metal knocker, he bangs on the door with his fists and it opens without hesitation.

"Hello, there!" The old lady says cheerfully and looks at Sam.

"I brought your key back." He smiles sweetly and presses it into her hand.

"I don't recall you borrowing it." She says with confusion and inspects the key.

"Well, I did!" He smiles sweetly and notices something behind her. He steps into the entryway to see 2 men moving boxes into the apartment. Jogging halfway up the stairs, he greets them.

"Hey, best of luck moving in!" He raises a hand to the men.

"Hey, thanks!" One has dark brown long hair that's swept over his forehead to reveal a lightning shaped scar.

"Thank you!" Says a blonde boy who is carrying a box into the apartment.

Sam glances behind them so see 2 blueish, grey figures with their hands intertwined. They give thumbs up with their free hands and then disappear.

Sam, smiles as he jogs down the stairs, hope being restored in him.

2 hours later, when they board the plane, all 3 of them are sitting in one aisle and the plane takes off, Dean clutching the armrest as hard as he can. Once they are in the air, Dean relaxes and the long flight home begins.

Cas falls asleep, and his head keeps wandering to Dean's shoulder, and although Dean smiles every time it happens, he shrugs Cas off. An hour later, Dean allows his head to stay there, and in turn falls asleep on top of Cas's head.

Sam smiles and something sparks in his soul. Love doesn't need any enchantment.

Love is love.

When they land hours later, all 3 of them walk together, laughing about the past few days and wondering what life will hold for them now.

Sam smiles as those words ring through him again.

Love is love. Time will never run out for true love.
