Protecting You- Destiel

Part 4

Castiel's POV

"Dean, why did your thug look so scared of me?" Dean and I were cuddled up on what I had learned was his bed. "He saw my face and just freaked out."

"Oh, yeah." He shifted to face me. "When I got put in charge, the very first thing I did was put out a "No-Harm" list. You know, people who are protected from any harm, under any circumstances. Crowley was scared of you because you're the very first name on that list. And he knew he had fucked up when he found out it was you who he had hit." Dean had a menacing glimmer in his eyes. "Still can't believe that douche bag dared lay a finger on you. How are your ribs, and your cheek." Now he had switched into over-protective boyfriend mode, touching all of my damaged areas.

"I'm fine Dean." I shifted awkwardly, "You didn't have that guy, like killed or anything, right?" I still didn't know how this whole crime boss thing worked. Dean had only told me that I never had to work again, and I would never have to do anything illegal.

"No... I mean he was punished, and he'll never work for me again, but he's still alive." then he added quietly, "for now..."

"Dean!" I hit him playfully.

"Fine, fine, no murder" He pretended to be sad and I pushed him again.

We laughed for a few seconds before his face went serious. "You know I love you, right Cas?"

"Yeah, Dean I love you too." I grabbed his hand lacing our fingers together.

He looked away from me, ashamed, "I'm sorry you got dragged into this."

I used my other hand to turn his face back towards me, "I'm not," his eyes met mine. "If you hadn't show up, I'd still be working a job that I hate, living in an apartment I hate, with nobody but a cat to keep me company. This is the best thing that could have happened to me."

His hands came up form his lap, cupping my cheeks. "How did I get so lucky?"

Then his lips were on mine for the first time in seven years. It was just a quick kiss, but it sent sparks flying in every direction.

"I love you, Cas."

"I love you too."

We stayed cuddled up together in that room for almost a week. Just being together. After that Dean went back to doing his thing, only this time I was right there beside him.

Kind of a short end chapter and a short story altogether, but whatever. I saw this prompt on pintrest and kind of based this very loosely off that. I couldn't find the prompt but it does exists somewhere. Anyway, I've really lost interest in my previous Destiel story, so I think I'm just going to start a one-shot book because they are much easier to stay interested in. Hope everybody enjoyed!!

P.S. in case nobody noticed the first chapter was exactly 666 words. Your welcome.
