Castiel stood at the foot of the bed where Dean slept, watching him. He had heard Dean say several times that it was incredibly creepy, but Cas enjoyed it. He looked so peaceful, Less angry when he was sleeping, So he watched, letting the calm pattern of Dean's chest rising and falling in rhythm make him smile.
There had been a fight again. The tension was practically tangible between the two men in the front seat. Finally, one of them spoke up. "Dean. Come on! It was just a piece of pie!" Dean looked and Sam and stuck his tongue before saying "It was the last piece of pie." Before cranking up the volume and starting to sing along loudly. The duration of the trip was spent with Sam shaking his head in amused disbelief.
Sam walked up the woman that was holding the petition out to passers-by, begging, pleading them to sign. It would only take a moment! She insisted. Sam smiled and asked "What is it for again?" The woman looked up at him, and the only thing Sam could think was "She looks exhausted..." as she explained to him the importance of supporting gay marriage, and asked if he would sign. He took the pen and said "Why is it so important to you?" She simply replied, "My son is being denied the right to marry the one he loves. If i may ask, why are you willing to sign?" He smiled and glanced into the store where Dean was still shopping for a gift for Castiel. An engagement present, if you will. Then he replied, "I've got a brother..."
Dean is not a man of belief. Before the apocolypse, if you had asked him his feelings on everything, he would have told you to go stuff it where the sun don't shine, He hasn't changed much. Except for one thing, He believes in family, and he believes in Cas.
Ever since Cas had disappeared into that lake, Dean had been wearing the coat that the angel once wore. He would catch Sam looking at him, Disapprovingly, and all he would say was "Hey...It's recycling." Noone saw how sad he really was.
Castiel smiled at Dean as he sat a plate down in front of him. "Here! Your very own gourmet Home-cooked meal!!" It was a Bacon Cheeseburger. He looked at Cas expectantly as he took his first bite. "It's wonderful. Like you."
