[ For all he tries to hide it with jokes and dismissive remarks, Dean is an incredibly intelligent, thoughtful person. He doesn't make decisions lightly, and this one, Castiel can tell by the delay and the emphasis with which he makes it, as well as the steadiness in his lovely hazel eyes, that isn't a decision Dean is making on a whim. He's given it thought, weight, and gravity, and his decision is still to share time and intimacy with Castiel, and that is touching in a way there aren't human words for. Castiel can almost feel his absent grace sing and his wings shiver. A gentle smile curls his lips as he agrees softly and closes the space between them to convey that happiness and gratitude once more in a kiss. ]

We have.

[ They could continue to sit here, and drink beers, and kiss, and Castiel would be content. In fact, he'd be content with far less, if Dean were to offer it. But Castiel wants for far more, his want for Dean expands as endlessly as the universe, and he leans away from him only to slide off the chair, his hands tracing Dean's shoulders and arms en route to twining the fingers of their hands as he urges Dean to come with him. ]

Take me to bed.

[ Castiel asks, only because he has no idea where the bed in this very large cabin is, or else he would gladly have already led Dean to it himself. Despite the bandage on his side and the absence of his grace, Castiel agrees that they have, in fact, waited long enough. ]

[ Their first time spent intimately together, what was only a few days ago that feels a lifetime away with the cavernous depths of the events in between, was awkward and uncertain. Castiel still feels the same rush of anticipation as he did then, but the fear of unknowing that accompanied it is gone. Dean welcomes his touches, initiates gentle, affectionate kisses unprompted, and Castiel's heart swells in his chest. He can't imagine loving Dean more than he already did, but love, it seems, isn't a finite thing. It keeps expanding beyond Castiel's vessel's capacity to restrain it, beyond the numbing buzz of his grace, and that is miraculous. Castiel is awed by the warm tug of Dean's hand as he leads them through small wood-paneled hallways to a room with a bed just large enough to two.

The window is shuttered. It's impossible to tell whether there's a view of the night-time lake or not beyond that window; Castiel hasn't kept careful enough track of the direction of the house to tell. Ultimately, though, it's not important. Nature's splendor can't hope to compare to how Dean occupies Castiel's attention. He barely takes note of the room, beyond the fact that it's smaller and cleaner than most hotel rooms, and the bed, though small, is a good deal larger. They'll be comfortable here in this private place, and the excitement that comes with that knowledge has Castiel's skin warming. Of course, that could just be the alcohol, or it could just be the heat he feels from the feeling of his fingers twined with Dean's. Whatever the physiological reason, Castiel is undeniably warm, excited, and eager, and Dean is absolutely the cause.

Dean leads him into the bedroom, as he'd promised, and Castiel immediately tugs Dean into turning once they're through the door. He brings his hands up to cradle Dean's cheeks as he kisses him again, breathlessly unrestrained, and he steps forward between Dean's feet, pushing him back gently towards the bed. ]

[ Castiel does have a history of rebellion. He's often been capricious, as his superiors, and now all of Heaven, would tell you. He's changeable in a way angels aren't meant to be. He feels, powerfully. From the first moment he reached out to Dean's soul in Hell and raised him, though, he's admired Dean, trusted him, even loved him, in a way. Dean is like no one Castiel has ever met, in Heaven or Earth, and though, largely because of Dean, Castiel has come to doubt every cornerstone of his existence, the one immutable feeling he's had is for Dean. His care for Dean is unwavering. It feels laughable human to describe his feelings for Dean as love at first sight, but Castiel can't think of any more accurate way to describe it. Only poets might have managed it better. "Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved," it was written, and Castiel has finally come to understand the meaning of the words. "Truly delightful. Our couch is green; the beams of our house are cedar; our rafters are pine."

Dean's calves hit the bed, and as he falls to sitting, Castiel leans in to keep holding him, and kissing him, and being held, as if, if he were to let Dean go even for a moment, they both might fall. He stands there for a moment in an awkward stoop, kissing Dean with gentle, insistent devotion, before he does the more rational thing and falls to sitting on the bed beside Dean. Cas lets his hands explore Dean more thoroughly, then. His right pushes into Dean's hair while his left smooths down over Dean's chest and comes to rest, distracted, over his heart while he continues to kiss him again, and again and never tires of how good Dean's lips feel against his, or his tongue, or the warm puff of his breath when either of them bothers to breathe.

There's no doubt in his mind that he was meant to find Dean, because as thrilling as the appeal of rebellion and free will are, none of Castiel's choices have ever felt so right as this. ]

[ Prior to raising Dean from Hell, Castiel hadn't been on Earth in centuries, and even then, his trip was brief. He'd only spent a good deal of time on Earth long before that, when holy wars involved actual representatives of God defending the world against Lucifer, and not simply the petty grievances men held over imaginary boundaries between their lands. He'd stumbled across the occasional poet or artist in Heaven, but it was entirely accidental, and there's a great deal of poetry that Castiel has never read or heard in his long lifetime. He would adore Emily Dickenson. Dean should recite it to him some time.

Not right now, though. As apt as poetry would be for how the warmth of Dean's skin and the softness of his lips itself feels to Castiel like poetry or song, he's much more content on keeping Dean's lips occupied just the way they are. Dean's hand covers his, and Castiel lifts his fingers away to tangle them instantly with Dean's. Their joined hands drop to the sheets as Castiel pulls Dean in, holding him tighter, kissing him deeply until Dean's voice interrupts and Castiel is forced to lean back and make space between them enough to put meaning in the words. ]


Good. Don't hold back.

[ Castiel doesn't see the problem. His injury is numbed, wounds all forgotten, and Dean is warm and pliant. He tastes like beer and salt, the freckles on his cheeks stand out beautifully when he's flushed like this, and everything Castiel remembers from their last time in bed together, he wants again. He wants to experience Dean the way only other humans can; he wants to give himself, graceless and vulnerable, completely over to Dean's care. ]

I want you.

[ The words are simple but the meaning of that word, wanting, feels like the depths of the ocean: dark and secret and unimaginable to all but the creatures that exist there. Castiel kisses Dean's mouth again, fully but briefly, before pulling back and kissing the back of his hand where their fingers are twined. He kisses the back of each of Dean's fingers apologetically before letting him go completely, and leaning back, he tugs the shirt Dean had given him reluctantly over his head, sets its messily on the bed, and reaches immediately back in to kiss Dean heatedly again. ]

[ Before Castiel knew Dean Winchester for the man he is, he'd heard of him: the righteous man. He'd seen what Dean had done in Hell, and what had become of him, but Castiel didn't know until he knit together the pieces of Dean's soul how truly good he is. He felt it there in the very essence of what Dean was, not that Dean was honest, or pure, or holy, but that he was caring. The emotion he'd felt from Dean was almost overwhelming, and when Castiel was able to look in Dean's eyes, he could see that spirit reflected there.

Dean is wonderous; he's infinitely loving. Whatever his insecurities are, Castiel has always seen past them. It isn't with pity or desperation that he offers himself to Castiel; it's love. Dean has always shown him love in one form or another, and Castiel hesitates to call it romantic, but he feels it. And without his grace, that passionate form of love for Dean is only stronger. He leans into Dean, kissing him feverishly, and the wrap of Dean's arm around his bare waist, pulling him closer, has Castiel gasping against Dean's mouth and burning hotter. ]


Yes.

[ Dean offers himself, and that's what Castiel wants: to have Dean for himself, to hold him, and cherish him in every way three dimensions will allow. His hands leave Dean's cheeks to push between them, and he pulls at Dean's shirt, urging him to bare more skin. Yes, he has Dean, but... ]

I want more of you.

[ He wants Dean in ways there aren't words in any human language for. He wants to consume him without destruction, to join him without separation. There's probably poetry that's eloquent enough, but Castiel can't think of anything but of Dean's mouth as their tongues slide, of the heat of Dean's hands on his back, and all the frustratingly thick clothing caught between them. ]

[ As Dean removes his own shirt, Castiel reaches out immediately to touch that newly exposed skin, but he stops, caught by the way Dean looks at him. Dean's eyes are so beautifully expressive; more than windows to his soul, they're gateways paned in stained glass and gold filigree, revealing all the warmth and beauty of a star, burning away in its prime. That star lays itself in Castiel's hands. Dean says, boldly, that he belongs to Castiel, and whether the intention is for today or for always, Castiel is touched by the sentiment, and greedily possessive of what he's been given. Rather than paw at Dean's newly bared chest as he'd planned, Castiel instead covers the hand Dean's laid over his heart, links their fingers, and leans in gradually to kiss Dean's mouth again. His other hand raises as well, a delightfully practiced motion, to cup Dean's cheek, and he rests his thumb at the corner of that brilliant smile as he kisses him softly with all the devotion he can pour into one single act of love. ]

Thank you.

[ It's probably inappropriate to thank someone immediately prior to coitus, but Castiel can't hold back his gratitude. He wants to express how very grateful he is for the trust Dean has given him, for Dean's care during this time in which Castiel is unusually vulnerable, and for Dean's own vulnerability of the human kind that comes with laying oneself bare, physically and emotionally, in the act of sex. He needs Dean to know how very well loved he is, and that's exactly why Castiel has brought him here to this remote cabin, this quiet bedroom, and this plush bed, to show him exactly what Castiel intends to do about it.

His hand still covers Dean's, their fingers loosely linked, but he guides Dean along the path he was already headed, teasing his own nipple in their joined finger and sighing against Dean's mouth at the burst of heat the action brings. As he kisses Dean's mouth with increasingly breathless want, he drags their hands down his chest, and cups Dean's hand over the firm erection trapped against the denim fly of his jeans, because if there were any doubt that Castiel desired him, there's the proof in human flesh. He leaves Dean's hand there, to stay or take another path, but the rushing heat of kissing Dean and having Dean's hand on him has Castiel needy for more contact. He deepens their kisses, licking Dean's tongue as his hands cup Dean's cheeks and slide down his neck, his shoulders, and then push gently on Dean's chest, urging him to lie back. ]

[ For so long, Castiel has felt like an outsider, even among his own kind. Dean makes him feel welcome in a way Castiel has never experienced. Dean is kindness and love personified, and Castiel adores him. Laying Dean back against the bed and covering him with his body feels like a holy act. Castiel is devastated by the loss of his grace, but he thinks now, if there were ever a reason behind why he is suffering through this trial, it was for this: to worship Dean properly, as only humans were gifted the ability to supplicate themselves to one another and find God in each other's embrace.

Castiel kisses Dean's mouth, and the warmth he feels radiating through him is stronger than fire, or light, or grace. He feels electrified by the touch of Dean's fingertips on his hips, alight from his kisses. ]


I'm yours, as well.

[ It's something they had spoken of before, "my angel," Dean had said, though Castiel feels less angelic than ever in this moment, and yet purer than he's ever felt. He kisses Dean with softness and yearning, and his hands trace over Dean's skin, the rise of his chest and the dip of his stomach, until he's able to cover Dean's hands and guide Dean's fingers the waist of his own pants, eager to be undressed. He leans back, briefly, to meet Dean's eyes. ]

About the offer you made to me, before... Are you ready?

[ They were both lost in the thrall of sex when Dean made that offer to let Castiel fuck him all those days ago, and though Dean had affirmed it in the Impala earlier, that he was still willing, Castiel wants to be sure. He trusts Dean completely, but he knows that Dean often masks his uncertainties with bravado, and Castiel won't risk misinterpreting so intimate an act between them. ]
