Dean was staring out the window as he drove with Cas. He didn't exactly know what to say. So much had happened in the past 24 hours. Dean had lost his brother, gained a lover, and even killed the corpse of his own father. Dean didn't even know what to say or do so he kept on driving. The radio barred hits from a time long gone. suddenly twist and shout come on. It wish Dean and Cas's song. They started loudly singing along to it. It helped break the tense butter like atmosphere that had been clouding the car for hours. When the song was over they fell right back into silence. Dean wanted to tell him he loved him but the censors wouldn't allow that.

so instead he settled for reaching his hand across the thing and placed it on cas's thigh. there was nothing sexual behind it, not right now at least, not with the people at home watching. it was just a gesture meant to comfort them both. to ground them in this new scary world they were living in. dean wasnt sure how he was going to do it without his brother, and hell if he wont try to get him back, but whatevr happens he'll always have this angle, no this man, by his side. no matter what happens, no matter how many times either of them die, castiel will be there. and now dean knows that he loves him back. what they have is real, and returned. he might never truly get a life with a white picket fence but he'll alwasy have this. the man he loves by his side driving in the impala, together.
"Hey, Dean." He said finally breaking the silence.
"Yeah, Cas?"
"I'm sorry."
"It wasn't your fault."
"Dean I- I'm sure we could do something to bring back Sam."
"I don't want to think about that now. Cas tell me a story."
"A story?"
"Well yeah just to distract from all of this."
"Well ummm well one day there was this dog named.... fido."
"Fido what kinda name is that."
"If you want to criticize I won't tell the story." Dean nodded apologetically and stayed quiet.
"So umm... Fido he got in one little fight and his owner got scared. His owner sent him to this town in Bellair."
"I think I've heard this one before."
"No you haven't now be quite. Then the dog became king of the rest of the dogs. The End."
"Have you ever seen the show Prince of Fresh bel air?"
"No but this story was based off of a ancient folk story the angles told each other."
"Interesting."
Then they were back to silence. They got home and confessed all over again
