THE PLAY IS OVER WHICH MEANS I GET TO WRITE AND SHIT AND I'M SO HAPPY AND I CAN DRINK POP AGAIN!

So this is based off yet another Tumblr post I found on We Heart It.

"Ow!" Cas's shriek could be heard from the other side of the room.

Dean, who had his nose in a book (The History of Cherry Pie, no less because DEAN READING?), looked up in alarm. "What happened, Cas?" he asked worriedly, fixing his eyes on the man.

The angel frowned and held up his finger, looking at it sadly. "I accidentally got cut," he murmured dejectly. He sighed. "The human body is so frail."

Dean sighed, putting his book to the side and standing. He went to Cas's side and lightly grapped his wrist, his fingers clasped ever so gently. "Follow me," he said sweetly.

Cas did without hesitation. "Where are we going?" he questioned, his voice still void, eyes still trained on the drops of blood coming from the cut.

"We're patching you up," he said, pulling him into the bathroom. Dean had Cas sit on the edge of the tub and got the rubbing alcohol and a Band-Aid from the counter.

Cas was still eyeing his finger. "It's okay to be human," Dean told him with a small smile. "We all get hurt in the long run. Might as well learn something from it."

"What am I supposed to learn? That paper is now my sworn enemy and wishes for me to be in a casket with all of the dead ships Neveah talks about?"

The hunter inwardly sighed listening to Cas speak. His lack of grace depressed him, Dean knew, and he also knew the depression wasn't small or easy. He wanted to fix that. He wanted to fix Cas.

Dean smiled at him. "No, but don't let her hear that or you'll never live to see the sunrise."

Cas blinked. "I don't understand that."

"That's okay."

Dean quickly went about making sure the cut was taken care of. He was so careful with Cas, so gentle to the point where the angel could feel the love radiating from his fingertips. When he was gone, Dean pressed the softest kiss to the covered cut, keeping eye contact with Cas the entire time, not noticing the way the angel's heart skipped a beat.

"Why?" Cas asked quietly.

Dean furrowed his eyebrows. "Why what?"

"Why would you kiss the wound?"

The hunter laughed a bit. "It makes the pain go away."

Cas nodded, a look of soft understanding in his eyes.

"Why, Cas? Why should I keep fighting? All I do is screw things up anyway!" Dean's voice cracked, his eyes growing foggy.

Cas's eyes flashed. Not menacingly, oh no. They flickered with something like love, though Dean knew that couldn't be true.

"Why do you not value yourself?" the angel (he may not be an angel anymore in this but damn it he's still one to Dean!) questioned.

Dean shook his head, blinking back tears. "I'm not worth the trouble. The people I love die, Cas!" By now he was almost hoarse. "My life is too much pain. I only hurt people."

Cas didn't reply. Instead, he looked Dean in the eye and took slow steps forward until he was almost touching the hunter. He reached out with a gentle hand, placing it onto Dean's chest, directly on his heart. Following his hand came his lips, gingerly kissing the fabric above his heart with as much love as he could muster.

Dean's breathing hitched. He knew what Cas was doing.

"Allow me to take away your pain, Dean," whispered the angel. "Please."

Cas pulled away just a little to stare at Dean's eyes, their gazes locked. Dean searched the blue depths in amazement, wondering how this ball of love and kindness had ever entered his life.

"Okay."

Cas's smile was gentle, splitting his face tenderly. He latched his hands behind Dean's neck before closing the distance and running his lips against the hunter's.

If Dean was honest, he would have later admitted to Sam that he had fallen so helplessly in love with the fluffball of an angel in front of him.

But, of course, the time for honesty wasn't any time soon, and he'd never admit to anyone besides Cas how desperately he loved him.

The last of that didn't make much sense, did it? This is what I get for not sleeping, I guess.

Thank you guys so so much for reading! Imma work on a new book idea I'll probably publish soon. If you want early peeks to it or want a direct notification when I publish it (which none of you will) comment below.
