Dean jerked a little, dragging a curious thumb over the back of Cas' hand.
"You hide it well, especially now, when the fight within you is quieter. But some part of you still fights the love you think you don't deserve."
Dean's heart halted in his chest, fingers stilling over Cas' hand.
"But you aren't fighting that war alone. You haven't been in a long time."
