I’m not going to pick one, Dean. Sam agreed to keep all of them.
Castiel is five years old when he moves house and has to start a new school. It doesn’t take long for the boy with the messy blonde hair, bright green eyes and freckles to find him.
“I’m Dean,” he says, smiling wide. “You’re Cas.”
Cas. Castiel’s chest warms at the nickname and he nods.
“How did you know my name?”
“You’re new,” Dean says, as if that’s an explanation. “Do you wanna play?”
Looking back on his life, Castiel can’t remember a time when he didn’t love Dean Winchester. Before he pulled the Righteous Man out of Hell and was blinded by the brightness of his soul, everything is a blur. Vague images of thousands of years and the warning of ‘Don’t step on that fish’ are all that he has. He can remember looking up at the stars and thinking they were so bright, but compared to the light of Dean’s soul they’re dim. From the moment he rebuilt Dean’s body with his grace, Castiel has loved Dean Winchester, even before he knew what love was. It’s been years since that day, too many to count, and Castiel can remember every second of it, every touch, every glance, every heartbeat.
Dean’s life has been long and it hasn’t all been good, but since the day Castiel had confessed his love, it’s all gotten brighter. He’s an old man now, nearly 80 and too fragile to do much anymore. He can’t hunt, he can barely walk, but he’s happy. He’ll leave behind no children, but a brother and nieces and nephews, even a grand-niece, so it never bothered him. He’s always had Cas.
It’s early morning when it finally happens, the sun is just kissing the horizon and Dean watches it from his bed. Cas is sitting at the end of the bed, the false ageing he’s been doing for years has gone and he looks younger than Dean remembers.
“It’s time.” He says solemnly as he stands, holding out his hands.
When Dean reaches to take them, his own hands are no longer old and wrinkled, but young and smooth and he realizes it’s already happened.
“Don’t look back.” Cas says as he takes Dean’s hand, moving it to his lips and pressing a kiss to the knuckle.
Dean takes his husband’s advice, threading their fingers together and allowing Cas to finally lead him into the light.
“You’ll stay with me, won’t you?” He asks, suddenly frightened, but Cas just smiles and nods his head, running his thumb over the band that rests on Dean’s fourth finger.
“I don’t recall ‘to death do us part’ being in my vows, Dean.” He relaxes and they take the final step.
Dean finds himself in the Roadhouse with his arms full of Jo and Ellen giving him a smile as she polishes a glass. Ash waves from the other side of the bar, a redhead sitting beside him and laughing at something Bobby has said and Kevin comes around the bar to tell him all is forgiven. Dean is a little disappointed that his parents aren’t here, but they have their own Heaven and maybe he’ll visit them someday, the most important thing is that Cas is with him. The angel in question appears behind him and winds his arms around his waist. Dean thinks being dead isn’t so bad.

After agreeing to move in and work with Sam and Dean, Cas begins to notice something. His ears become fine-tuned to picking up when Dean uses the phrase “I need you.”
Sam tries to explain why Dean can’t just keep sacrificing himself for him and all Dean can say is, “but I need you.”
Dean calls Jody on a case involving a female victim that refuses to speak to men or even let them near her. “I need you to come over here, Jody. I need your help.”
Charlie returns from Oz and stays with them in the bunker for a few weeks. When she finally decides to move out, Dean says, “But it’s so nice having you here, I need you to stay to gang up on Sammy with me.”
He even sometimes says it to monsters before killing them: “I need you to listen to me, you son of a bitch.“
Eventually Cas stops listening. He trains his ears to block it out. He can’t hear Dean say “I need you” because for years he thought it was just for him, a confession of “I love you” in the only language Dean knows how to say it.
But it turns out it’s just what Dean says, nothing special.
“Dean, I have to leave.”
“What? What the hell are you talking about, Cas?”
“I have to return to the other angels, they’re depending on me.”
“Dude I know that’s bullshit. There hasn’t been a problem in months, and you’ve been doing great with us. What’s going on?”
“Dean. Please.”
Dean takes a step into Cas’ personal space. “Cas. I need you. I need you here.”
“That’s…not enough.”
Cas turns away and Dean resists the urge to grab his arm and yank him back around. He’s not sure Cas would let him anyway. So instead he stares at the floor and listens as Cas’ footsteps get farther and farther away.
Cas stops. He imagined it. He had to’ve. But then it happens a second time and he thinks maybe it was real. “What did you say?”
“I love you.”
thank god i had enough adopted winchester family feelings to finish this goddamn thing
Next year at Eurovision I want every acts country kept a secret, only to be revealed after the voting closes so no one know what country they are voting for.
Think of the chaos it would cause! Think of all the neighbouring country’s that wouldn’t vote for each other!It would be amazing and possibly the start of the Third World War.
