I can't believe it. He told me he loved me, but I couldn't understand it. Now he's probably dead.

Those thoughts echoed through Dean's head the rest of his suspension.

When he got back, he was so relieved to see Cas that he kissed him. In front of the whole class. They both pulled away, embarrassed.

"You're alive!" Dean exclaimed.

"You obviously translated my message," Cas replied.

"Ich liebe dich."

"Ich liebe dich."

They had to take their seats. Class was starting. Mrs. Peterson was teaching the class how to properly use the school's overly-complicated calculators.

The rest of the day dragged on. In art class, they were asked to work in pairs to build a sculpture of anything they wanted. Dean and Cas decided to sculpt one of Castiel's sisters, Anna.

At the end of the day, Dean asked Cas what happened with Axelia.

"Well, I confronted her about my memories, and she broke down, crying. She told me she was sorry, and that she just wanted a family. I told her she should get married and have kids, then I walked away. I've been getting food from Judy's ever since," he said.

"I'm glad you're okay. And that you didn't freak out when I... you know..."

"About that, I think we should wait a couple years before starting a relationship. If that's what you want, of course."

"Oh, yeah. No, that's- that's cool I guess. If that's really what you want."

"It is," Cas said before planting a quick kiss on Dean's cheek.

Cas walked away, leaving Dean speechless for the first time in his life.
