#dean/cas + dorks together

[shallowseeker]

My actual favorite thing about the not-date-Nora-scene is that Cas is bumbling his way into this not-date, and...

even though Cas is narratively positioned as this "lame-ass, geeky little failure"

even though the ep opens with the hur-dee-durp guys in the gas station being all "macho-macho"

even though Nora was being so weird and leading-on-ish in how she asked Cas "out"

We pan over, and there's Dean (fellow nerd, let's be honest) and despite some classist digs about minimum wage, on the whole, he is still so heart-eyes for Cas. 😍 

No, seriously. Dean thought the rose was "a nice touch." Romantic, even. 🌹

I mean, Dean woulda appreciated that rose. He woulda.

But let's face it. It was dorky--I mean, he cut it from Nora's own garden! (Oh, Cas.)

///

Later, in 9x10, we'll get this gem from the Crowley's bespectacled demon spy, Cecily: "I mean, human Castiel? Eh. But feathered Castiel? Hot."

So, everyone's a little ga-ga for Cas. But the thing is, Dean is ga-ga for him even when he's...human-ish. To Dean, he's "hot" either way.

[kerryweaverlesbian]

Castiel comes to Sam for advice about his crush on Dean but he obfuscates who he's talking about successfully because Sam doesn't know just how much he and Dean hang out without him.

Dean, obliquely trying to come out to Sam during a conversation about settling down: besides who would even want to date me long term. Cas is the closest thing I've had to a girlfriend in years.

Sam, casual and oblivious: I think Cas has a boyfriend.

Dean:...What????

Sam: yeah he told me about him. He's like a drummer or something, travels cross country a lot. I thought you knew? It's pretty serious, they've been together like 8 years I think?

Dean, seething with jealousy and horror: What's he like? Have you met him? What the fuck??

Sam, delighted to have more info on Cas than Dean does for once: Cas really didn't tell you? Well I guess that makes sense. I've always thought he and I share a more profound bond.

Dean: Sam.

Sam: Okay, okay. I haven't met him but from what Cas says, he's like, a real dork. Won't let anyone touch his CD collection, always brings up movie references no one has ever heard of- although it is Cas, who knows what his scale of normal movies is. He's good with kids, apparently.

Dean: sounds annoying.

Sam: ha! That's funny. I said he sounded like you, and Cas gave me a death stare. Yeah just like that one.

Dean: what does Cas want with a normie guy like that? And why didn't he tell me? There's gotta be something going on with this dude. This whole thing stinks. And - wait. Hold the phone. Cas is gay????

Sam: dude, you've met Cas, right?

Dean: shut up!!!! Keep talking. Where can I find this sonofabitch and how can we find out his intentions

Sam: well according to Cas he intends to be [cas impression] 'adorable and infuriating at the same time and succeeds on both counts'. Cas seems pretty happy with the guy, I think we should just be happy for him.

Dean, heartbroken and hiding it gruffly: yeah. I'm fucking ecststic.

[thatsveryood]

[happilyfeatherafter]

Happilyfeatherafter's ficrec Fridays

Back for my second week of fics I've read and loved recently, as well as a couple of throw backs. If you missed last week's you can find it here for more!

12 January 2024

Altitude by enochianprayer (@chapeldean, art by @hornystiel here and @naughtystiel here) is a wintery delight, in which Dean is a seasonal worker in a mountain lodge and Castiel is a hiker who's passing through. Enchanted by their brief encounter with each other, Dean can't get Cas out of his head, and Cas' questioning leads him to find something holy in the revelations he stumbles upon at the lodge. Sweet and romantic, wild and wandering, cosy and brave.

boy leave your boots by the bed by an_ardent_rain (@alulangel) is a post-canon fix it, a smutty cowboy kink (shh yes this WILL be a recurring theme on my rec lists), wish fulfilment fic for the spn bang bang with one of my favourite tropes of Dean and Cas going on little dates without really realising they're going on little dates, whilst pining. Plus absolutely wonderful banter:

Cas squints and ignores that.  “Technically, you could say that this heaven is still ‘in beta’ now,” he says, and he uses the air quotes and it’s so adorable Dean bites the swell of a bottom lip to hold in a fond smile.  Cas is, as always, a giant dork.  “But we are soliciting feedback.”

“Yeah, you got a heavenly suggestion box?  Hotline for complaints?  Five stars, would die and spend eternity here again?”

“There are… more than five stars, Dean.”

Sweet Science by emmbrancsxx0, (@valleydean) is now complete, a 12 days of smutmas challenge continuation to the incredible destiel 1930s boxing au Heavyweight. Cas and Dean are on a romantic winter retreat to get out of the spotlight against the backdrop of the burgeoning economic depression in New York, both seeing the boxing world become harder to maintain a living. With Cas secretly planning to retire, and not yet letting on to Dean, can they navigate their future whilst still maintaining their hard fought for trust? I love these guys so much and am so glad to be back in their world.

The Root of this Love by kathscradle is for all the bearded!Misha fans. May he have survived the acrylic paint incident. The very short and sweet and sexy premise: Cas is hairy, now that he’s human. Dean can’t get a grip on himself. (But he sure can get a grip on Cas!) Smutty body hair celebration and body worship.

Just Being and Just Having by Englandwouldfall is the post-canon fic series I drop everything to read every time there's a new update. It delves so incredibly beautifully into Dean and Cas' history of miscommunication and gives them the chance to truly talk things out, finding themselves falling more deeply in love as they do so and understand their own mistakes but also what makes them work so well together when they're no longer under Chuck's thumb. Each chapter feels like therapy and a brain and heart massage! Two chapters left to go of Just Having, dive in now so you can lose your mind with me when it's complete.

Solitudes by ilovehowyouletmefall (@angelinthefire, art by @hawkland) is set in season 12 after Cas is nearly killed by Ramiel. Dean is close to acknowledging his feelings, whilst Cas is weighed down by the responsibility to find Kelly, but he agrees to help out on one more hunt before he leaves. Trapped, they encounter a monster which makes both of their nightmares come true...or so they think. Witnessing each other's despair, this is a haunting and genuinely creepy story that will make your heart ache.

[babygirlwolverine]

the thing is, when dean and cas go grocery shopping together, it’s messy and silly and they’re such dorks about it. cas makes a list because he wants to make sure they get everything for everyone. but then dean is deliberately throwing random things into the cart, or he sneaks things into the cart when cas has his back turned just so he can get a reaction from cas. cas always rolls his eyes at dean’s antics, but cas absolutely has his own ritual where he has to kiss dean at least twice while they’re walking down the aisles. sometimes it’s when dean still had the cart and cas has gone back a couple aisles to get something they forgot and he comes back and slips his arms around dean’s waist and leans in to kiss him. other times it’s standing in line at the checkout that cas will steal a kiss from dean. and sometimes it’s when they’re picking out veggies that cas will just pull dean close and kiss him. and every time, without fail, dean will sneak in a bouquet of flowers and place them across the child seat of the shopping cart so that when cas sees them he lights up with the brightest smile that makes dean’s heart skip a beat every single time

[castieldelamancha]

Dean wraps his hands tightly around Cas' upper arms, enjoying the contact, miles and miles of naked skin pressed together, still almost as overwhelming as the first time, easy and natural as breathing. All at the same time.

He buckles his hips up, hoping to speed things up a bit, but Cas is having none of it, he leans down, kisses Dean senseless, his hand settles over Dean's side, splayed over his ribs, his other arm supporting his weight as he hovers over Dean. He looks down at him, when he breaks the kiss. There is so much in those eyes, and nowhere to hide from the assault of emotions he is feeling.

Dean tilts his head up, kisses Cas again, and, taking advantage of the momentary distraction switches their position swiftly so now he is the one on top, looking down at Cas, both of them laying more on Cas' side of the bed than on the centre of it, where they were before.

He gives Cas a playful look, get a roll of eyes in return, that quickly stops since Cas closes his eyes once Dean lets their hips meet again.

Apparently not quite happy with the change and getting impatient too Castiel rolls them over once more, ignoring a protest that dies in Dean's lips as he realizes Cas is losing his balance, about to fall off the bed.

Dean thanks his fast reflexes as he hugs Cas close to his chest, he scoots them both over and away from the edge of the mattress, his shoulders shake with silent laughter, once that is trying his damn hardest to keep in for Cas' sake. He succeeds, at least until he looks down and their eyes meet, Castiel's indignant expression is hilarious, especially because Dean can see how hard he is fighting back a smile.

Dean laughs loudly and, after shaking his head and gently pushing Dean's chest, Castiel joins too, his laughter not as loud but still sweet music to Dean's ears.

"That wasn't really 'sexy' " air quotes and all to Dean's even greater amusement " of me." He even sounds a bit embarrassed.

Dean lessens the grip he has on Cas and uses his hand to tilt his head up, getting to move up and closer, "c'mere, you dork." He kisses Cas, drinking his laughter straight from the source.

He wraps a leg around Cas' waist, time to get things back on track.

[rainbowskullsandcoffee]

destiel au prompt where dean and cas are actors and are main casts in a hit sitcom.

im thinking Friends or HIMYM sitcom vibes

dean's character is a joey/barney (aka suave womanizer archetype but also a dork)

cas' character is a ross/ted (nerdy and a hopeless romantic) he plays his character like what Misha Collins is like irl

cas strains himself on how he needs to get his voice to go higher (fans love the huge personality gap of his character and his real life self)

they get to know each other behind the scenes

from co-workers to friends to really good friends (like they're always spotted hanging out) to lovers

no one suspect a thing that they're probably dating (except for a small group of people who also ships their characters) because the cast also became a close-knit group of friends in real life

from the start, dean has a strict rule of never getting romantically involve with his co-stars (which soon dissolves as he develops a crush on cas)

he reluctantly mentions this crush to his lawyer brother to vent his frustrations but not revealing who it is

this freakishly tall little brother promptly visits him on set (to be a pain in his ass) and immediately knew who the said crush is

the show would have the same premise of that Friends episode, "the one with the Nap Partners" where behind the scenes dean and cas eventually did fall asleep in each other's arms (they're not dating here yet)

a castmate secretly took a picture of them napping which will then be posted when the couple announce that they are in fact dating. it's caption is "here's one for you destiel shippers"

the Nap Partners episode could be the turning point of their relationship where they get over themselves and realize they want the same thing

after getting together, they have bloopers of accidentally calling each other pet names.

the cast tease them abundantly, blatantly calling dean's or cas' character "babe" whenever they have scenes with them. making even the crew crack up.

years after the show ends, their wedding was also a huge cast reuinon

[sterekmpreg]

eli x jack headcanons?

For sure

) Eli meets Jack when he's 14 and he became friends with Jack immediately when he realized how strangely Jack behaved, because Eli knew he was strange too.

) When Derek and Stiles first meet Jack they look at each other and then back to the smiling teens with raised eyebrows. “Why is that kid acting like he was raised in captivity?” “I don't know... And whys is he so fucking happy!”

) Jack tells his dads hr made a new friend and the Winchester family couldn't be happier to have ‘their’ son/nephew away from the supernatural danger for once.... Well until they learn Jack’s new friends are werewolves.

) Jack and Eli both had to play mediator when Dean and Cas had started accusing Derek and Stiles of killing the people around Beacon Hills. In the end, the teens managed to get their parents to work well together and handle the demon running a muck in Beacon Hills.

) Jack is so happy all the time, that the first time Eli sees Jack go off Eli, and the fucking pack, are shocked to their core. I mean it's not every day you see a teenage boy kill Satan and then find out that Satan is said teenager's biological father.

) When Jack learns that Eli is scared of being a werewolf, Jack shares something he was taught with Eli after Eli has a panic attack and not even Derek or Stiles could calm their son down. “Eli, I had to learn this too, but it doesn't matter what you are, it matters what you do.... Even ‘monsters’ can do good in this world.”

) Eli is absolutely ecstatic when he finds out that the Winchesters we're retiring from being active Men Of Letters, and had decided to settle down right in Beacon hills... So maybe not retired restored but not constantly traveling anymore.

) Jack and Eli are definitely the school's dorks but they're also the smartest kids and every teacher's favorite.

) Grandpa Stklinski LOVES Jack. He's probably the one who who rooting for Rli and Jack to get together the most.

) Dean and Derek get along very well and Eli soon learns that he and Jack are gonna have to step up their lying game because of how protective the two are.

) Jack realized Castiel and Stiles are a lot smarter than their husbands and he and Eli are always looking behind then, almost jumping when one of their parents catches them doing exactly what they shouldn't be doing.

Let me know if you want more and more specific one😊

[thegeminisage]

oooh envesseled, please!!

HI wow thank you for asking, because i love talking about this, and i promise no one is obligated to read the whole answer lol. envesseled (partially, but only partially, up on ao3...) is part of cambionverse, which is a sort of spin-off about some EXTREMELY minor characters in s*pernatural that my buddy @callowyn and i have been chipping away at since 2011 or so.

for anyone with a passing familiarity with the show: we were so sure they were going to kill lisa braeden at the end of season 6 (can you blame us?), we whipped up a little scenario where her son ben was partially raised by sam, dean, and bobby instead...until sam and dean go mysteriously missing, a la john winchester, and now ben has to go and look for them the same way they once searched for their own dad.

but since supernatural has those big 3 characters (sam dean cas) and ben is our dean-character (he is sort of like a dean who broke the cycle of abuse and is also a huge lovable dork), we also needed a sam-character and a cas-character. for our sam we picked jesse (a one-episode wonder, the antichrist kid who turned cas into an action figure), and claire novak, the daughter of acstiel's vessel, who at that point was also a one-episode wonder and also had a collective total of less than 50 words of dialogue. we made her up on our own, essentially. jesse struggles with anxiety and controlling his demonic half and trusting hunters/himself after doing so has burned him in the past (or...gotten other people burned, i guess), and claire struggles with trusting anyone at all and the total emotional unavailability/other after-effects that come from being possessed by something with a thousand eyes at age 11.

in the first two "big" stories (one for jesse, one for ben, though there's a shit ton of additional content) they battle meg (my beloved, don't worry, she'll NEVER die), find the missing sam and dean, resolve various other personal traumas, be mentally ill together, and flirt ever closer to a three-person situationship that would make dean actively long for death if he ever found out about it. meanwhile cally and i kind of throw tomatoes at various things in the show proper that annoyed us, such as how much they hate women, how often they forget their own canon, or the double standard of sometimes letting monsters live when they're dangerous and sometimes killing them when they've done nothing wrong.

envesseled is the third "big" story, for claire, and it takes a significant turn because at the very beginning of it, while she and ben are in the middle of a huge argument, he dies (fridged a la MARY winchester), debatably because of something claire did, and the only way to resurrect him is to ask castiel for help. except he can't help because his various misadventures have left him broken into a thousand pieces and his current jimmy-vessel has no soul to put them back together. and so she's still dealing with this castiel trauma, and the grief/guilt over ben, and the grief /guilt over her dad she never processed, while going around collecting all the broken pieces of castiel in her own body so he can envessel HER (hence the title), bring ben back to life--except the catch is the more grace she takes into her body, the sicker she gets, so it's a question of whether or not she has enough time to finish collecting the pieces, and whether or not she can actually bear to be in castiel's presence and also say yes to him in order to allow him to do this.

as one might guess from the summary it is. an INCREDIBLY niche fanfic series with like a dozen fans worldwide, though i am proud to say pretty much everyone who's tried it has liked it, probably because it's diverged so heavily at this point it aaalmost reads like original fiction. like, i wish there were words to convey how deeply you do not need to have seen the show to read it. we are still writing "envesseled" which is why it's on the wip list (it is fighting with us SO MUCH) but we really really really hope we get it finished in time for "cambion day," which is march 29 (jesse's birthday). i tried very, very hard to find an excerpt from what we haven't posted that isn't full of giant spoilers, but i can't, so i'll post an excerpt from what we have on ao3 instead that i really like. this happens right after claire absorbs the first of many of castiel's broken pieces and is kind of a microcosm of the dynamic in general:

Castiel stands, not far enough away, watching her like a crow inspecting carrion. "How do you feel?" Claire takes a deep breath, assessing. There's no apparent difference between the new grace and the old—after all, both are pieces of the same angel—but she feels their presence more keenly, a stronger heat than the one she's been accustomed to for so many years. Apparently she's more sensitive to the powers of the Antichrist, too. "I've stopped feeling like there's a stab wound in my side, if that's what you mean." "Hm." Two fingers brush across her forehead. Claire's entire body thrums, and then she's grabbing Castiel's wrist, crushing it in her grip as she pulls his hand away. "Don't touch me." Her heartbeat is wild, squeezing the bones under her hand with all her strength, knowing she can't damage him but too angry to care. "Don't you ever touch me." Castiel holds motionless in a way no human could ever achieve, lights flickering over his head. "Let go of me, then." He could break free of her grasp with a fraction of effort, but it's still satisfying to throw his hand aside. Claire catches Jesse's eyes, and sees just a moment of ink-black there before he blinks and the light fixtures stop shaking. "Very well," says Castiel, after a long tense silence. He leaves the kitchen, giving Claire a wide berth, and moves to stand in the center of the dusty library. "Try this one."

let people send you an ask with the WIP title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

[shallowseeker]

DEAN and CASTIEL at the bar. Cas drops his drunken act once SAM is out of earshot. CASTIEL: (clears throat) I, um, I noticed you look... kind of uncomfortable whenever Sam mentions my leaving. Doesn't he know that you told me to leave? DEAN, trying to tell him as much as he can: Here's the deal. When Sam was doing the trials to seal up Hell, it messed him up. Okay? The third one nearly killed him. If I'd let him finish, it would have. He's still messed up, bad. CASTIEL: You said the angel, Ezekiel, helped heal him. DEAN (looks down, avoiding the question): Look, I got to do anything I can to get him back. Now, if that means that we keep our distance from you for a little while, then... Then I don't have a choice. I don't feel good about it, but I don't have a choice. It's great to have your help, Cas. Okay, but we just can't work together. CAS looks sad.

///

Dean is begging Cas to pick up what he's putting down. This is a thinly veiled distress signal. If only Cas could've picked it up and done the whole, "And is this...Ezekiel in the room with us right now?"

Also, Dean said, "for a little while." And Cas looks sad, because even a little while feels too long.

GUYS. YOU SAID YOURSELVES. TEMPORARY. Like it's a known thing between them, the temporariness of it. Sam wouldn't be sick forever, after all.

Dorks.

[mishapocalyse]

OR how about Dean actually doing a whole LARP experience with Charlie on one of his days off hunting, and he convinces Cas, Sam, (and/or his gf, the reader) to go with him. He’s a cute little dork, :’) — 🧸

Dean, Your Majesty Awaits

Description: Charlie takes Castiel and the Winchesters to a Renaissance Fair. Unbeknownst to them, the reader is the queen, Charlie's best friend and Dean's significant other.

Pairings: Dean Winchester x Reader

Warnings: None.

Note: Under the 500 word prompt. I really really enjoyed this one!

————

“I do not understand this activity.” Castiel prompted as per usual when he did not fully comprehend what human hobby he was partaking in.

Charlie chuckled as she stood to fix his wears, adjusting the sword strapped to his hip. Dean Winchester strolled in with Sam, holding a large plate of food in which Charlie picked from to Dean’s dismay.

“Ay, get your own!” He yelled.

“Better finish that quickly, D. Show’s about to start.” Charlie clapped her hands and strode towards the opening of the tent.

—————

Charlie, The Winchester’s and Cas all stood in front of the large wooden stage shaded with a much larger red tent, decorated with gold trim and flowers of all kinds. Four men dressed from head to toe in armor stood poised in front, swords digging into the red clay mixed with dirt and wood chips.

Another man came to the front, facing the crowd as he cleared his throat, arm raising to silence the crowd of other larper’s.

“Oi! Will all of ye shut thy trap’s and face the front!” He hollered.

Charlie, glanced over at her friends who all stared back at her, giving the same expression.

“What’s up his ass?” Dean asks, Charlie nudges him to shut up.

“We are in the presence of many of warriors, but in the presence of no kings! Our king was befallen to a dark night and fell into the grasp of death leaving our widowed Queen to rule alone. We fight for her hand and rightful place by her side! Who will succeed? Who will only perish on this day? Go! Ready your men as we will strike soon!” Bellows the man dressed in the royal colors.

Music plays as everyone murmurs while the sea of people separate. Dean’s eyes widen as he laid his gaze onto you, his girlfriend, dressed in royal garb.

“Is that?”

“Yes, Dean. This is why I dragged you here.” Charlie answered.

Your eyes caught his as he pushed through the people to get to you. He was blocked by the knights.

“Speak thy name, filthy mudsnipe. What says you to even dare to whisper to thy Queen?” The knights question Dean who rolled his eyes.

Another man approaches and stands in front of the guards.

“Hey buddy. You can’t just walk up to the Queen. You know the rules. Besides, its our team that’s going to win.” He sneers.

Dean opens his mouth to say something when you pushed the knights aside.

“He is my secretary, the right hand man to my royal round table. He and his men may enter my quarters.

“But they-i.”

“Nothing more-let them pass.” You ordered.

————

Dean still partook in the fighting, you watched him wack people out of the way. Charlie ate from the food table, free for you and your men to eat. By the end, Dean and Charlie’s team did in fact lose when Dean was the only one still around. A whole team had to be left to even decide.

It was time to choose the man and team that would run beside you for the next season. Sighing you slipped open the envelope while wandering eyes stared up at you on your throne.

The envelope did indeed read the White Raven Clan, and the leading man who heckled your boyfriend earlier. You looked over at the leader who ogled you from a distance. Then back to Dean who leaned against the railing a bruise forming on his face, a little blood from his nose from playing around too hard with everyone.

You knew you shouldn’t do this, but you were the one who ran the events in your community, and by far this was Dean’s second one and the first one that you and him had been together at.

So why not bend the rules a bit?

You threw the envelope into the fire pit that sat next to you turning chicken and stood up abruptly.

“You, the single man who stands in front of me. The lone warrior who single-handedly fought alone in the end. I hereby decree that you shall continue to stand by my side, not only as my right hand, nor my secretary, but my King and betrothed, brave sir.” You holler as a fury of claps and hoots sounded. You exited the stage shortly after they crowned Dean.

“Hey, where’d Y/N go?” He asked Charlie who smiled.

“Dean, your Majesty waits for you in her private quarters. Give her hell.” She laughs, slapping him on the back, his crown slightly tilting down.

“I love this place.”

[prairiedust]

I guess I do fan art now?

This was The Moment for me. The moment when Cas chose Dean over everything else and that this time there would be no going back. Weirdly I was already shipping destiel before I got to this episode, because I was watching season 10 live at the same time as season 4 on Netflix and that was a wild starting point. These are the shots from Lucifer Rising when Dean asks Castiel to rebel. Dean has just leaned into Cas’ line of sight after Cas feeds him some bullshit about being ‘at peace’ after the Apocalypse; Castiel meets his gaze and just… falls. I wanted to try to do digital portraits on Procreate but did not want my first attempts to be a loved one in case I sucked at it, ha ha, so I drew these dorks instead. (My references are screenshots from Home of the Nutty.)

I know I have a ways to go but I’m fairly satisfied with these. Anyway someone asked that I specifically post these together in June so Happy Pride Month!

Fandom Confessions #34

I don’t care what you think. These flannel wearing boys need more hugs. Period.

[winchester-cas]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how gay episode 13x14 was

[wormstacheangel]

Cas has been back for three months and eleven days and, while he didn't count the hours, it's 6 a.m. and the dude was already gone.

Dean couldn't find anything worse than when he leaves without a word. No goodbye, no text, no note, and no call to even let him in on whatever stupid plan he came up with by himself.

The guy is here one day and the next vanishes for days. Constantly leaving Dean wondering if it's a good time to call or send a text to ask if he's doing okay. Ask if he's coming back anytime soon so he can look for that movie they needed to watch. Ask if his car of the week is running smoothly or did he need to show Cas how to fix something. Ask if he is missed while Cas drives through the long and empty road. Ask for a facetime to see what the mini-bar looks like.

Dean looked for any and every excuse to just talk but his last Houdini act is starting to get old and a quick phone call here or there just isn't cutting it anymore.

"Come home."

The words slipped from his mouth after hearing Cas talk about his rough day.

"What?" Cas questioned even though they both knew they heard Dean's plea.

He cleared his throat, rubbing at the back of his neck, before repeating himself. Adding, "I'll wait up for you so just...yeah, just get your ass over here as quick as you can, yeah?"

It took a second before Cas responded. "I'll head over now."

Dean waited by the door, staring at the unfinished chess game that was left by Jack and Eileen while he sipped his coke. His heart was already racing by his stupid emotional demand but Cas promised to show up by sunrise and that was worth the embarrassment of using his words.

When he heard the quick steps outside the door, Dean stood up to watch the door open and have Cas staring at him in surprise. Probably not expecting to see him right away or so close.

"Dean." He sighed and Dean's hands squeezed into fists to hold back from jumping at the huge dork. A dork that looked so relieved to even be around him. "I'm um," He shrugged not looking at anywhere but Dean while he gave a soft smile. "I'm home."

He couldn't help but chuckle as his body relaxed and with one swift motion he had his arms around his best friend. Pulling him in for a strong hug and relaxing into the arms that held him back with the same force.

"Welcome home." Dean mumbled against Cas's coat. He hoped Cas could hear the "Don't ever leave me for that long ever again." implied in that.

"I missed you." Cas honestly whispered into Dean's hair, it made him shiver.

Maybe it was just a night of weakness but he couldn't help but answer back. "Then stop. Stop fucking leaving, man." His grip on the coat tightened with every word. "I can't keep losing..."

"Dean," Cas pulled back even though he knew he didn't want eye contact right now. He made their eyes meet and Dean felt his face warm up when those baby blues looked into his soul. "All you have to do is ask."

"Don't pretend you listen to a damn thing I ever ask you to do." Dean joked and Cas smiled, a small twinkle in those eyes as his hand reached up to touch Dean's shoulder.

"Well, the world is not ending and I'm sure Gabriel can do my job," Dean reached to gently cup Cas's face as he talked. He watched as his eyes closed and he leaned into the open palm. "I think I can finally stay."

"Really? You want to stay here and hang your halo for the retired life?"

"With you?" Cas turned to leave a small kiss on Dean's palm. "Of course."

"Then I'm asking you to stay. Or-or take me with you cause we're a team, Cas." Dean leaned forward, slowly pressing their forehead together as his eyes drifted closed. Feeling the lips at his palm still burn him. "So if you want to stay then just...stay."

"I want to stay. With you."

Each new touch was still hesitant but welcomed. They haven't seen each other in a while and it felt like starting over even though they haven't done much before Cas left but this was starting to become familiar. The way Cas slides his hand up to cup Dean's cheek, tilting it just enough but pausing for permission. Asking by letting his thumb caress his lower lip.

But it was always Dean who closed the gap between them. Pressing their stiff lips together once before they relaxed into it. The second kiss becoming softer and filled with so much love it could drown him but Dean clung to it.

Cas has been back for three months and twelve days and it's 6 a.m. but Dean doesn't think he needs to start counting the hours. Especially when Cas will be there to spend it with him.
