The Bet Part 11

The sun was just rising as Dean got back into the bed. Putting his arm around your shoulders, he couldn't help but smile, when you moved closer, resting your head on his chest and wrapping your arm around his shoulder, sinking into the crook of his neck. He felt his heart skip a beat at the comforting action and his smile grew just a bit bigger. The way your body fit perfectly with his, like it was supposed to be right there. You were the missing piece he never knew he needed until now and he was for once, truly happy.

Hearing the creaky door open, Dean opened his eyes and seen Cas standing there. He knew that scene was too good to be true.. it was just a dream. He went to move and felt a weight on his chest. Looking down and seeing you wrapped up in him sent a little smile across his face. He took in a deep breath, taking in the scent of your shampoo, before moving off the bed without waking you up. He ran his fingers through his hair and looked at Cas.

" What's up Cas? " He groaned, still half asleep.

" I didn't mean to interrupt ." Castiel stated, looking at you as you snuggled into Dean's pillow.

" You didn't it's fine. "

Castiel looked at Dean, confusion on his face.

" I don't understand. "

Dean shook his head with a little laugh.

" Well that's not surprising, but don't understand what? "

" You love her, but you haven't told her. What is it that you're scared of Dean? "

Deans eyebrows pulled together, trying to act like he had no idea what he was talking about.

" What? "

" I read your mind Dean. I seen the dream you just had. Being with her makes you happy, it's what you want, I just don't get why you don't express that with her. "

Dean took in a breath and glanced back at you, still fast asleep now on his side of the bed.

" Cas, it's not as easy as it seems. This life..it tends to rip any bit of happiness away from this family, haven't you noticed that? "

" Yes but. "

" Did you need something? " Dean asked, walking out of the room, and Cas followed behind him.

Watching as Dean poured himself a cup of coffee, he sat down on one of the chairs.

" I just thought that you would like to know that I have found that shifter you guys were tracking down. He's in Ohio. "

" Great, once everyone is up, we can hit the road. " Dean stated, before taking a big drink of the fresh coffee that he knew Sam must have made before his morning run.

" Dean. " Cas said, standing on his feet.

" Yeah. "

" Talk to her. "

That was only thing he said, before he left Dean standing in the kitchen by himself. Dean ran his fingers through his hair, letting the dream he had play out in his mind again. He knew he needed to talk to her, but when was the right time to even do that? What if things changed?

Blinking your eyes open, you pulled yourself up and ran your hand across your face, forcing yourself awake. When your eyes focused, you realized that you weren't in your room. Seeing the guns on the walls, and the pictures on the desk, you knew that you were in Dean's room. You had fallen asleep in here last night. Shaking your head, you stumbled into the kitchen for a much needed coffee and smiled when you seen that freckled man standing at the counter, lost in his thoughts.
