Fluffy canonverse with dean has amnesia please?
âHow long?â Cas asks skeptically. Dean is poking around the kitchen, grabbing different food items. He has quite the collection in his arms already, and Cas wonders if he intends to eat them or cook them.
âTwenty-four hours,â Sam says. âAnd he might not actually remember a whole lot of that time when he gets his memories back.â
Cas frowns. âSo he has amnesia, making him forget the past forty years of his life, but will regain those memories in twenty-four hours⌠while losing any memories he gains during those twenty-four hours?â
âYeah, basically. There might be some memory leakage either way, but thatâs the gist of it.â
âThat doesnât sound good for Deanâs brain.â
Sam shrugs and sighs. âYeah probably not, but itâs not like itâs the worst thing thatâs ever happened to him, brain or otherwise. Comes with being a hunter.â
Cas says nothing. He doesnât like to think of so the aches and ailments Deanâs had to endure, will still have to endure.
Sam gives him a reassuring pat of the shoulder and leaves, apparently giving Cas the responsibility of watching a memoryless Dean. Not that Cas minds doing it, but he has to brace himself for the pain of Dean not recognizing him.
He takes a few deep breaths before stepping into the kitchen. âHello, Dean.â
Dean looks up at him, arms overflowing with ingredients, and smiles a particularly radiant smile. âHey, Cas.â
Cas falters, his stride uneven until he rights himself and stands like a fool in the middle of the kitchen.
Dean freezes, looking embarrassed. A tomato drops and rolls towards Casâ feet.
âDid I say that wrong?â Dean is actually blushing in embarrassment. Cas doesnât know that heâs ever seen that before. âThe big guy, Sam, he showed me your picture and said your name was CasâŚâ
Cas recovers quickly. âIt is.â He reaches down to pick up the tomato, only sightly bruised, and offers it to Dean. âCastiel, actually, but Cas is fine.â
Deanâs smile is back, smaller and shyer than before, but still lovely. âGood. Thought Iâd messed up. Donât want to make a bad first impression.â
âDean, Iâve known you for over a decade. In these circumstances, Iâm the one who should be worrying about first impressions.â
âOh. Well, I guess. I figured maybe you wouldnât like me as much as the real Dean so I wanted to⌠I donât know, be the real Dean if I could.â
âYou are the real Dean, Dean.â
âWell, I donât know. A person is the sum of their experiences, and Iâve got like⌠an hourâs worth of experiences, so I canât be the same.â
Cas gapes at him, at a loss.
âAnd see now Iâve said something the real Dean wouldnât, havenât I?â
âUhhâŚâ Cas turns his attention to Deanâs haul of food. âWhat are you making. Can I help you cook?â
Dean looks down, almost surprised by the food heâs holding. âOh. I donât know what Iâm making. I donât know how to cookâŚâ
This version of Dean is somehow adorable, and Cas is suddenly filled with the urge to pull him into a reassuring hug.
He doesnât, though. Instead he takes some of the food and leads Dean to the table. âYou showed me how to make pasta sauce once. I think between the two of us we could manage it.â
They do, mostly. They work side by side cutting veggies, stirring, simmering, making pasta from scratch. Itâs nice, and while they wait for the sauce to thicken, they lean against the counter, right in each otherâs space.
âHey, can I ask you something?â Dean says timidly.
âOf course.â
âWhy did Sam lie and say you and I are best friends?â
Casâ heart drops. âWe⌠We are⌠I thoughtâŚâ he stutters.
âNo no, Iâm sure we are,â Dean says with easy dismissal, like that much is obvious and isnât his real question. âI meant, why didnât he tell me you and I are together? Like are we dating or married or what? I feel like he kind of undersold it when he said best friends. This right here.â He motions between them, the tips of his fingers brushing Casâ jacket. âI dunno, feels more profound than that.â
Cas swallows. âDean⌠You and I, weâre not together. We never have been. Circumstances⌠they never really⌠we didnâtâŚâ
Dean looks at him with wide eyes. âCas, I couldnât remember my name, but I took one look at you and knew I was in love with you. You saying I never did anything about that? You didnât either? Are we morons or something?â
âWe might be.â
Dean snorts a laugh.. and then pointedly backs up to put space between them. âAs much as Iâd love to kiss you right now or hold your hand while we eat dinner⌠I think real me would be super jealous and pissed if I did all that before he got a chance to.â
âWhy do you say that?â
âBecause Iâm pissed thinking about him doing it, and heâs me!â He laughs, a tinge of bitterness. âSo letâs do the best friend thing for now, and as soon as I get my memories back, you swear you talk to me about this, okay?â
Cas nods, his head fuzzy. âOkay.â
âAwesome.â Dean does lean in for a quick peck to Casâ cheek. The spot burns and Cas longs for more. âIâll grab Sam for dinner.â
And then Cas is alone in the empty kitchen, his heart full.

things I wouldn't believe happened if I hadn't seen them with my own two eyes:
cain implying cas is dean's collette
dean breaking cas out of naomi's mind control
cas' entire confession
dean's s13 widower arc
"I left, but you didn't stop me."
"he was your boyfriend first."
"the stench of that impala is all over your overcoat" or whatever he said
"don't make me lose you too."
dean turning aaron down not because he "doesn't swing that way" but because he's on a "federal investigation."
in fact, dean's entire reaction to aaron hitting on him
dean's disappointment when he found out aaron wasn't actually into him.
dean's siren being a dude and sam not questioning it despite still being under the impression that sirens infect people through sex
destiel divorce arc
dean completely giving up on life whenever cas dies
dean staying in purgatory for an entire year even though he could have left at anytime simply because he didn't want to leave without cas
dean seeing cas everywhere after purgatory just like how sam saw jess everywhere after she died
dean rewriting his memories of purgatory because he couldn't handle the fact that cas willingly chose to leave him and it was easier to believe that he failed cas instead
dean telling cas he's not going to let him die a virgin
"he's in love...with humanity."
cas putting donatello into a coma because he hurt dean
the handprint parallel (and that being jensen's idea)

"are you going to look at more anime or are strictly into dick now?"
"and how is it that you lost dean? I thought you two were joined at the, you know...everything."
