It'll get better, I promise lol
I was very close to writing a different ending to this, so MaddysGalaxy and gabethetrickster y'all are lucky I didn't.. Actually, maybe I'll write it for another one shot...

The sun had long since set, and Dean decided it was finally time to go bed. His shoulders were drooping and his eyelids were heavy. Struggling to keep his eyes open long enough, he dragged his feet to his room, and plopped down onto the bed that had seemed so far away.

  He let his mind drift to the days events. Sam had gone out to buy some groceries, 'forgetting' the pie as usual, coming back after an hour or two. He and Cas had watched some tv together. They talked about seemingly meaningless things, and Dean let a smile pop onto his face as he thought about it.

Speaking of Cas, he hadn't seen the angel for a few hours. Dean decided not to think much of it. He probably had some important angel duties to attend to.

He lied his head down on the comfy pillows and closed his eyes. He shifted around to get into a better sleeping position, and ended up settling on his back. Only after looking through the photos on his bedside table did he allow himself to drift off into sleep.

  A few silent minutes later, Dean felt something drop onto his forehead. He shifted slightly, and felt another drop hit him. It wasn't a hard object, more like a thick liquid. Dean thought about it for a moment and quickly shot his eyes open.

  In front of him was one of his worst nightmares. Cas was pinned to the ceiling, blood trickling out from under his white shirt and staining it a dark red. His skin was pale and his eyes were crying to him in pain. Dean had no time to say anything, as suddenly the ceiling behind the angel burst into sinister roaring flames. Cas' mouth dropped open in to a dying scream of anguish.

Dean dropped to his knees in an instant, pain filling his body and heart. Slowly, a pair of shadowy wings started to form on the ceiling, seeming to come from Castiel's back. He was dying. Right before Dean's eyes, and he could do nothing to stop it.

Mary flashed before his eyes.

Jess flashed before his eyes.

Dean couldn't bear to watch his angel go through what his other two family members had gone through. Tears sprung from his eyes as he desperately reached out to him.

"CAS!"

The Winchester jerked awake, sweat dripped down his forehead in streams. The smell of smoke still seemed present in his nose. His chest heaved and he held his head in his hands.

  Dean jumped slightly when he felt an arm drape itself around his shoulders, pulling him in close to a strong body. He hadn't even heard anyone enter the room. As Dean glanced next to him and tried to discreetly wipe away his tears, his green eyes widened as they landed on the person –well, angel– sitting next to him.

"Cas?" Dean let out a quiet breath, and brought his hand up to Castiel's cheek. He needed to know this was his real Cas, and not his horrible mind playing tricks on him. Cas leaned into his touch and spoke up.

"Dean, I heard you calling my name. I came as quickly as I could." He held Dean's gaze, and reached a hand up to wipe Dean's tears with his thumb.

Dean almost broke down into Castiel's arms, but refrained himself from doing so. "I just had a bad dream, I'm fine."

Cas gave him an unsure look, squinting his eyes. "You seem pretty shaken up, I'll stay with you for the rest of the night, if you wish."

Dean nodded and allowed Cas to tuck him back into bed. Castiel sat next to him, and when Dean gave a slight shudder, Cas shrugged off his trench coat and slid under the covers, laying a hand over Dean protectively.

After Dean fell asleep, his breathing calmed down, and Castiel leaned forward, placing a kiss on Dean's warm forehead. Dean subconsciously scooted closer, and nuzzled his head into the crook of Castiel's neck.

Castiel stayed awake and watched over his hunter until morning came.
