-Cas's POV -

I'm a fallen angel by definition. I've went against everything the other angels said, and I'm living and working with a group of hunters. You know, I've always been the odd one out, but I thought I could redeem my status as an angel.

I guess I'm not complaining, though, because I actually quite enjoy living with these hunters; they've become my new family. Dean, Sam, and Bobby are the people I associate with now.
There's only one small issue...

I've grown human attraction to Dean Winchester, the very man I pulled from perdition myself. I don't understand how a being such as myself could possibly develop such a complex human emotion for another being.

Regardless, I wanted Dean to know how I feel about him, but I can't exactly say it to him. If I try to do that, another human emotion stops me from doing so: fear.

"Somethin' bothering you, Cas?" Bobby asks me. I snap out of my thoughts and turn to him. "No... Yes... I don't know..." I reply to him. "What's wrong?" he asks me.
"I... Seem to have grown an attraction to Dean, and I don't know what to do. I keep trying to imply that I like him, but he doesn't ever seem to pick up on it." I explain.

Bobby chuckles a little then says, "Yeah, that's Dean for ya. Cas, Dean is an idjit; he's not going to be able to pick up on things like that." I nod, understanding, and then ask, "Well, how do I get him to understand?"
"Beats me. How 'bout you go ask Sam; he'll probably be able to help ya."

So I head out to do just that.

-Sam's POV-

I was doing some research at the library when I hear someone walk up beside me. I turn to my right and see Cas standing there. "Need something, Cas?" I ask him. He nods and sits down before saying, "Sam, how do you get your brother to understand something?"

I was taken aback for a moment. "I'm sorry?" I say for clarification. He sighs and says, "How do I tell Dean I like him?"
Okay, so Cas likes Dean. I should've put that together a long time ago, actually. I get why he asked me, though. Dean is pretty dense, and usually can't pick up on hints like that.

"Well, Cas, I could go get him for you, and you two could have a little chat." I offer. Cas flushes slightly but nods in agreement. We start heading back to the hotel we booked, and I led Cas to our room.

Dean is in there, watching TV while drinking beer. Typical.

"Ahem." I say to get his attention. His head flicks to the side and he says, "Oh, hey Sam. Cas. What brings you two here?"
"Nothing brings me here. I brought Cas here so you two could talk. I'm going back to the library." I say before walking out the door.

-Dean's POV-

So, here I was with Cas. Alone. In a fricking hotel room.
"Uh, so... You wanted to talk?" I ask awkwardly. He nods and says, "I'm not exactly sure how to put this..."

"Ay, man, if you've got somethin' to say, say it." I tell him a little harshly. He throws his hands in defeat and I reword my sentence. "Okay, I didn't mean it like that. What I mean is, I'll listen, buddy." he relaxes a little at that and says, "Dean, I've broken... Many, many rules in heaven." he starts.
"Yeah. Screw those guys, though." I say with a slight chuckle. "That's not what I'm getting at... I mean, I've broken another one that I never... Told you about..." after he says that, I stop smiling and look at him seriously.

"What was it? Do I need to kill some angels?" I ask him. He laughs briefly at that statement. "So, what did you do?" I ask him. He sighs and says, "I... I fell in love..."
Because of course Cas is in love. I didn't think that was possible. I'm really not the person he should be talking to about this, but I care about him, so I'll help him.

"Well, Cas, uh... Okay, you're in love. May I ask with who?" I ask. "Whom." he says. Did... Did he just... Nevermind.
"Okay, with whom?" I correct myself just to get him to go on. I really shouldn't care, but I do. For some reason, I'm upset that he's in love.

"With... Um..." he stutters. I wish he'd just tell me... "If it's Sam, I'm not gonna get mad at you, ya know. I mean, he's tall and geeky, but-"

And then I get cut off. It takes me a second to process what's going on, but I soon find out I'm being kissed. By Cas. Okay, so I was upset because I like Cas. God, am I really that dense that I couldn't figure out I liked him?

I kiss back after what must have been forever, and I feel him smile slightly into the kiss. When we pull away, he says, "I like you, Dean." I laugh and say, "Yeah... yeah, I got that. " out of breath because of the kiss.
"Can we...?" he trails off. He doesn't need to finish that sentence, because I knew what he wanted to say.

"Yeah, it'd be cool if I could be with you more often." I tell him before kissing him again. We stay like that for a while, and became 'a thing' that day. Both of us are happy now.
