    Summary

    “So what’s up with- Dude, again?” Sam’s voice rings through the room incredulously.

    Dean grunts in response.

    “You can’t possibly still be tired. Like, I feel like this should be physically impossible.”

    “Tell that to my melatonin levels.”

    “How do you know what melatonin is?”

    Dean does his best to roll his eyes under the cover of his eyelids. “Jesus, Sam, I’m not an idiot. Will you shut up so I can sleep?”

    He hears Sam huff. “Ya know, if you wanted to nap, you could always use that thing you have called a bed.”

    “Not the same,” Dean grumbles. His body doesn’t get all loose when he’s laying in his bed watching horror movies. The synapses that slow their firing contentedly seem to be wired to that same invisible bodily response of the outside world, and apparently being in the openness of his family’s space turns his brain into mush. “Now unless someone’s dying, I’m beggin’ you to shut up.”

    or the one where the whole family is together, dean finds enough peace to take some naps, and he's not sure he'll ever figure out how to say those three big words to cas

    Summary

    Dean knows exactly why he’d pulled Cas out of the Empty. It’s not charity. It’s selfishness. He’d made Cas lose his paradise, the version of life the Empty had created for him with his mirage of Dean, just because Dean was too scared to be alone. Dean had promised Cas that he’d pretend for him. He’d said he’d do whatever Cas needed to be as happy here as he’d been in the Empty’s reality. But Dean doesn’t even know how to be the person Cas thinks he is.

    Either Cas is lying, or his standards are impossibly low. Cas apparently thought it’d be enough for him just to be near Dean. But that’s not what love should be. It should want something back. Dean’s own feelings are irrelevant. He wants Cas, wants to be someone who deserves him. He can’t have him. He can’t construct a monologue about his reasons for loving Cas like Cas had done for him. He’s pretty sure that holding Cas’s hand would make him combust, after so long subsisting on scraps of shoulder-pats and Cas only touching him to heal him.

    Summary

    The first step to spending the rest of your life happily and romantically with the love of your life, your best friend of a decade and change, is to ask. That's pretty much the only step anyone can agree on. After that, well. It's up to the individual.

    Dean really wishes it wasn't up to the individual.

    Summary

    Jack is a blank slate, wet clay, impressionable and unwritten, and he looks up to and relies on each of them so totally. It's a horrifyingly huge responsibility; Dean has no idea how people choose to do this.

    Summary

    Castiel doesn’t know how he got from the Empty to the floor of a barn. The last thing he remembers is saying his confession before falling with Dean onto the hay. And Dean has been different since his rescue, has thrown out all boundaries he’d ever said were customary. Humans always manage to surprise Castiel. Dean surprises him most of all.
