True Love (Destiel Storyline) (Completed)

32. Heaven Is A Place On Earth

"Home sweet home. Where is this car you were talking about?"
Sam looked round in utter confusion.
"It's gone. It was here. Where the fuck did it go!?"
"Well it is of no concern now" Cas said as he hauled the heavy door open.

"Night. In the morning we can head over to ohio for that djinn thing" Dean said as he saluted Sam goodbye and grabbed Cas' hand.
As they walked past Cas' old room, he glimpsed something on the bed.
"I'll just be a minute" Cas smiled as he sent off and went to investigate.
He walked up to the ottoman and saw a smile vile and a letter leaning against it.
"What the.." He opened the note and read it carefully.
Castiel. I want to thank you for everything you have done. For the winchesters. For the world.
I know about your little trip to the future and I'm so sorry you had to see Dean like that. I want to help you. It was hard, but I have got something here that will cure you of your issue. Your immortality.
Don't worry. You'll still be invulnerable; no illnesses, no weaknesses. You'll still have your wings- although this will fix the little break for you- and your 'mojo'. The only difference is that, if you drink the vile, you will age. You can live with Dean happily until you both slip away peacefully of old age, at which point you will go to heaven with him.
Doesn't it sound great Castiel?
I promise it will work. There are no strings attached.
Yours
Anonymous

"What the hell?" Cas muttered to himself. He would have drunk it an a second flat if he thought Dean wouldn't kill him.

"Dean..... We need to talk."
Dean patted the bed. "What is it?"
Cas raised the note in his hand.
"What is that?"
Cas explained the whole situation to Dean, who stared blankly back at him for most of it.
"Well?"
"I don't think it's a great idea"
"Why not?"
"What if it doesn't work. What if it does something to you?"
"I don't care. I'd rather be human than immortal"
"Don't say that.... It could kill you."
"Dean you don't understand what it was like"
"What, what was like?"
"When I went into the future. You had waited for me. You were old and I was still.... Well I was me."
"Its OK..." Dean went to place a hand on Cas' shoulder but was swatted away.
"No its not Dean. I am going to have to watch you die. And move on like it was nothing. I can't live in a world without you Dean. I would rather die."
"Cas....." Dean kissed him gently and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"Fine, drink it. But if you die... I'll kill you"
Cas uncorked the vile and swallowed it whole.
They waited. 10 minutes. 30 minutes. An hour. Nothing happened.

"Maybe it just didn't work?"
"If it did how would we know?" Cas said and then suddenly doubled over in pain.
"SHIT!!" Dean screamed as he pulled Cas onto the bed and tried to make him comfortable.
"Dean I'm fine.. It just a-" He shrivelled up again, groaning in agony.
"I KNEW THIS WAS A BAD IDEA"
"Maybe it just hurts at first. It's already settling a little."
"Well I'm getting Sam."

Dean and Sam spent the whole night rushing in and out with hot things, cold things, cushions, water, pills, blankets, and more.
The next morning Cas woke with a pounding headache and turned to find Dean asleep on the bed next to him, sitting up, as if he had been keeping an eye on him.
Cas nudged him lightly and he woke, rubbing his eyes and stretching.
"Cas...."
"It's nothing more than a headache now. Everythings fine." Cas suddenly jerked his head up and sniffed the air.
"Oh my. What is that? Food. I can smell it properly. Not just particles. Real food smell. It smells delicious."
"That's..." Dean sniffed the air. "Scrambled eggs. Must be Sam."
"Can we go to breakfast?"
"Sure. Cas....." Dean looked concerned.
"Yes Baby?"
"Your wings.... Are they...."
Cas' wings unfurled and stretched behind him. They were even more gorgeous, the break was straightened, the missing feathers were back, and the silver tips seemed to glow even brighter.
"Looks like I get the best of both worlds. I wonder if I can taste aswell?"
"Let's go see" Dean winked and dragged Cas to the kitchen.
