Angels Among Us *A Destiel high school story*

#25 Castiel's POV

"GABE! SAM! GET IN HERE QUICK!", I yell, as Dean's hand starts to twitch slightly on top of the hospital blankets.

I hear the pounding of feet, and Sam and Gabe are standing in the doorway, panting and looking worriedly at me.

"Cas, what is it?", Sam asks me, eyes still red from crying less than an hour ago.

I point at Dean's hand, my eyes filling up with a tears.

"H-His hand moved!", I say excitedly, and some people shush me and tell me to 'settle down'.

But, I can't settle down, not now, my boyfriend is waking up.

Dean is alive.

My heart is pounding rapidly against my ribcage, I'm suddenly very nervous it had been a long time, since I have seen him.

What will I say?

I sigh.

I'll worry about that, when the time comes.

For a moment though, Dean does not move again.

He lays listlessly in the hospital bed, not even his chest rising.

I began to feel panic.

What if he doesn't make it?

No, Cas.

I tell myself.

Stop thinking like that.

He WILL make it!

With that resolve, I grab Dean's hand and squeeze lightly.

"Dean, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand. Okay?"

I wait impatiently, not sure what will happen.

Than, I feel a slight pressure, as my hand feels something or rather someone, grip it.

I want to burst into tears, I'm so happy, but I do not, I must first make sure he's truly okay.

"Dean? I need you to try and open your eyes for me. For me, Dean. Can you do that for me?"

There is complete silence, than his eyes slowly begin to open.

I hear Sam behind me, choking back a sob.

Gabe grabs hold of him to steady him.

When his eyes are fully open, they are shining a bright beautiful shade of green.

"Now, sit up slowly and try if you can, to talk."

He nods slightly, and I carefully help him sit up as he tries to speak.

The cuts and gashes on his face, now almost completely healed.

"Cas?", he asks, blinking and staring at me.

"Yes, Dean?"

"I'm sorry about what I said to Lisa."

I nod, laughing.

He looks confusedly at me.

"Why are you laughing?"

I shrug.

"Oh, it's nothing."

He smiles.

"Okay."

"Dean?", Sam asks, approaching the bed, slowly, afraid probably that he's still asleep and dreaming.

Dean chuckles.

"It's okay Sammy, it's me. I'm okay."

Sam nods, tears streaming down his face.

No doubt, Dean does not know the half of what happened to him.

What he put us all through.

I will have to tell him about it, later.

Sam and Gabe than hug Dean, Sam sobbing into Dean's hospital gown.

By than, people have come in to examine him.

Shocked, to see his remarkable recovery.

After they leave, Dean gestures for me to come over.

I do and he grabs my face and kisses me, hard.

We are both panting when we pull apart, Dean smiling from ear to ear.

Sam doesn't even roll his eyes at us, he is still too shaken up by all this.

"Listen Cassie, now that Deano's awake, I think I'm gonna take Sammy home so that he can rest. We've all had a rough time, lately. With the accident and all, so I'll see you later. Okay?"

I nod, smiling.

"Okay, Gabe. See you soon."

He than walks out of the room, with Sam, waving ecstatically.

We both wave back, as they disappear around the corner.

Once they're gone, Dean ruffles up my dark brown hair, playfully.

"Did you miss me?"

I nod, trying to not to cry at that.

Of course, I missed him!

"What do you think?", I say, staring directly into his big green eyes.

He smiles.

"I think that you DID miss me!"

"Well, you guessed correct."

"So, I guess I will see you tomorrow?"

He nods, tugging lightly at the light weight fabric of the hospital gown.

"Yup, you will. Ain't no way in hell, that I'm staying any longer after tomorrow, in this sh*tty hospital! Oh, and make sure to pick me up a burger. Cause, I'll be hungry."

I nod, laughing to myself.

Yep, a Dean's okay alright.

He's already asking about food.

"Okay, goodbye Dean. I'll see you tomorrow, morning."

A pause.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Cas."

With that, he kisses me one last time and I fly back home to get my first real good night's sleep.

Thinking all the while about tomorrow, and how very happy I am to see Dean Winchester, again.
