there are too many wrongs to care about. and I don’t mean that we shouldn’t care, I mean that we can’t. individual humans don’t have the time or the capacity. care about many things and take action on as many as you can, but don’t exhaust yourself because you need to care tomorrow too. there are enough people in the world to spread out the care burden. as someone living in modern america, it’s slights and aggressions built upon systems built upon wronged lands and wronged people. it’s never ending. you cannot exist without walking on bones.

Silly doodle idea that came out of nowhere. I need all the fix-it stuff I can get.

Dean

6:54 pm

hey, were you able to check into the motel room i booked for you? we're on our way now. we’re coming to take you home

6:54 pm

I’M coming to take you home

Cas

6:59 pm

I’m at the motel right now.

7:01 pm

I don't understand. Is Sam with you or not?

Dean

7:03 pm

he’s here. that was just my crappy way of trying to say that i want you back home again with me

7:04 pm

me, specifically. i know i've sucked at telling you just how much i appreciate you, and i want to fix that

Cas

7:04 pm

That means a lot to me, Dean.

7:05 pm

Please don't text and drive. We’ll talk later.

Dean

7:05 pm

it’s cool, sam is driving

Cas

7:06 pm

Are you okay?

Dean

7:08 pm

better than i've been in a long time. why?

Cas

7:10 pm

Sam is driving. Do I really have to explain?

Dean

7:13 pm

i wanted to talk to you

Cas

7:15 pm

Is there anything specific you need to discuss? Should I call you?

Dean

7:22 pm

nah, i'd embarrass myself in front of sam. i just need to convince myself that you’re really back

7:24 pm

had too many dreams where you were back again only to wake up and find that you were still gone. and lucifer tricked me into thinking he was you

7:25 pm

you ARE you, right?

Cas

7:27 pm

I’m me, Dean.

Dean

7:30 pm

it's just hard to believe the spell actually worked. i thought there was no hope after Jack said he couldn't bring you back

7:32 pm

tell me something only you would know? i need to know i'm not getting tricked again. i don't think i could take it

7:33 pm

tell me what you said to me before the empty took you

Cas

7:35 pm

You're certain you want me to?

Dean

7:38 pm

i'm sure, cas

Cas

7:40 pm

I love you.

Dean

7:44 pm

like a friend?

Cas

7:46 pm

That, too. But I already had your friendship. Telling you I loved you like a friend wouldn’t have made the Empty come for me.

Dean

7:55 pm

then how do you love me, cas?

Cas

7:58 pm

Dean, you must know already. Please understand that I don’t want to cross your boundaries. I would rather remain your friend than have you push me away.

Dean

7:58 pm

i wouldn’t. i won’t

8:00 pm

i know i have in the past, but i’ve never regretted anything more in my life. please, i want to hear it if that’s okay

Cas

8:09 pm

Very well. I love you more than I have ever loved anything else in all of Creation. I have forsaken Heaven for you and died for you. I’m in love with you, Dean, and my love for you will continue for all of eternity, long after Earth and everything on it has perished.

8:17 pm

Dean?

8:21 pm

I have crossed a boundary. My apologies.

Dean

8:23 pm

shit. sorry. i thought i was prepared after last time

8:24 pm

no boundaries crossed, but you did make me bawl my eyes out again

8:24 pm

sam's all worried now

Cas

8:25 pm

I’m sorry, Dean. I didn’t know my words would do that.

8:25 pm

What do you mean by 'again'?

Dean

8:27 pm

what do you think happens when your best friend tells you he loves you and then dies in front of you?

8:27 pm

not just a best friend, actually

Cas

8:29 pm

I know, Dean, and I am honored you consider me family.

Dean

8:30 pm

not quite. not only

8:31 pm

i should have told you, cas. you were never JUST family

8:32 pm

hang on, i'm realizing i need to tell sam something that’s kind of overdue by now. i guess he deserves to hear it after all these years. i’ll tell you after i’ve told him

Cas

8:33 pm

Very well. I’ll wait.

Dean

8:54 pm

okay well sam almost drove us into a ditch when i told him. and then he had to pull over because he turned into a giant blubbery mess

8:55 pm

if he ever says i did too, don’t listen to him

Cas

8:56 pm

Dean, if you are trying to build suspense, you have managed it.

Dean

9:00 pm

do you really not have any clue at all what i’m about to say to you?

Cas

9:02 pm

I would be lying if I said I haven’t spent the last 30 minutes imagining possibilities. But I would rather not assume. I don’t want to be wrong.

Dean

9:04 pm

okay. well, here goes

9:06 pm

i’m bi

9:06 pm

bisexual

9:10 pm

cas?

Cas

9:11 pm

I'm happy you trust me enough to tell me. Thank you.

9:12 pm

I’m just trying to process.

9:13 pm

Is there a specific reason you have chosen to say this now?

Dean

9:16 pm

actually, yeah. there’s something else i need to say to you, but i thought we could have that talk when i get there. i want to do it face to face

9:17 pm

maybe i'm getting ahead of myself here, but i’ve booked a single room for sam

9:22 pm

cas? processing again?

Cas

9:22 pm

Yes.

9:23 pm

My room does have a king-sized bed.

Dean

9:24 pm

i know

9:25 pm

i don't want to make you uncomfortable. i'll share sam’s room if you want

Cas

9:26 pm

Please don't.

9:26 pm

How soon can you be here?

Dean

9:27 pm

two more hours, if i switch places with granny behind the wheel here.

Cas

9:29 pm

I may be billions of years old, but right at this moment two hours feels like an eternity.

9:29 pm

I’ll be waiting for you, Dean.

Dean

9:30 pm

scratch that, i’ll make it in less than two hours

Cas

9:31 pm

Please don't compromise your safety.

Dean

9:32 pm

don't worry. i’ve got something worth staying alive for

Cas

9:32 pm

Dean. I love you.

Dean

9:33 pm

i know. be there as soon as i can. XOXO

Cas

9:36 pm

I had to google that. An emoji would have been more efficient. 💕

9:38 pm

I assume you’re driving. See you soon.

10:25 pm

Time has never passed so slowly before. I know that for a fact, since I have existed since the beginning of it.

10:42 pm

There’s a Dr. Sexy rerun on right now.

10:49 pm

The thing you need to tell me better not be that you have a crush on Dr. Sexy.

11:04 pm

You'll be here soon, unless something has happened.

11:06 pm

I hope nothing has happened.

Dean

11:09 pm

Dean told me to tell you to stop being ridiculous. But he’s smiling like a fool, so I think he’s secretly charmed by your rambling. -Sam

11:10 pm

He didn’t tell me to say that last part. He did tell me to say we’ll be there in ten. -Sam

Cas

11:11 pm

I will hold him to it.

11:20 pm

You’re not here yet.

Dean

11:20 pm

oh yeah? open the door

Cas

03:07 am

Your phone is on silent, so I know this text won’t wake you. I just want you to know this: I was wrong about my moment of true happiness. Lying here in bed with you, knowing that you love me back – this is the happiest I have ever been.

Dean

08:12 am

sappy angel

08:13 am

how about if i asked you to marry me? where'd that place you on the happiness scale?

Cas

08:13 am

Dean. Are you serious? Is this a proposal?

08:14

You better not be proposing to me via a text message from a motel bathroom.

Dean

08:15 am

relax, i wouldn't propose without going down on one of my creaky old-man knees. hang on, i'm coming out as soon as i've brushed my teeth

Cas

08:15 am

Dean, what are you saying?

08:17

You are the most frustrating man on Earth.

Dean

08:17 am

and yet somehow you love me

Dean

09:31 am

sammy, time to to start writing a best man speech

Sam

09:34 am

I know. My room is next to yours.

09:36 am

Out of the many sex noises I've heard from you over the years, "I can't wait to marry you" is the most wholesome.

09:37

Not that I need to hear it ever again.

Dean

09:40 am

bitch

Sam

09:40 am

Jerk.

09:41 am

Seriously, though. I'm happy for you both. And I'd be honored to be your best man.

Dean

09:42 am

thanks. love you, but don't let it get to your head. you're not the first person i've said that to today

Sam

09:44 am

Yeah, yeah. Love you too. Tell Cas congrats for me. When do you guys want to head back? Check-out is at 11.

09:57 am

Seriously? Again?? These walls are paper-thin, dude.

10:03

I'm never getting a room next to you guys again.
