"I owe you an apology too." Dean said the instant Castiel picked up the phone. He heard only silence on the other end and frowned, stomach churning as he wondered for one dreaded minute if he’d dialled the wrong number.
"Cas? You there, man?" He called, holding the phone pressed between shoulder and ear as he wiped suddenly sweaty palms against his jeans.
"I'm here," Castiel's reply came, his voice low. Dean closed his eyes, tipping his head back in a little prayer of thanks.
"I'm sorry, Cas.” He blurted. “For everything. For not being what you expected me to be, what you wanted me to be. For getting you into this mess in the first place and… just… I'm sorry. I thought you should know that."
There came only silence after he finished. A silence which stretched on and on. Dean swallowed heavily, wetting his lips and wondering whether he should prompt the angel for a reply or hang up and pretend like he hadn't spent the last couple hours swithering over whether to call Castiel or not.
"You are everything I wanted, Dean." Castiel said after a long moment, his words slow and deliberate. Dean breathed a sigh of relief, his heart giving a little lurch at the reply.
"You're never what I expect you to be,” he continued, his tone almost teasing and Dean found himself biting back a smile.
“But you are worth this mess we’re in, Dean.” Castiel said after a heartbeat and Dean closed his eyes, breathing his relief down the handset.
“Listen,” he said after a while of simply listening to Castiel breathe down the phone. “I’ve got to go now, but I’ll come get you right after this hunt, okay?”
“I would appreciate that, thank you.”
Dean smiled softly and hung up.

I did read this when you posted it and I love it. Dean's awkward, terrified apology & Cas' inscrutable, pensive silence, and then everything's OK because yeah, Cas DOES think Dean's worth it... it's PERFECT.
Thank you so much, and I'm sorry again for failing to comment on this. *contrite*

I'm glad you liked it :D like you/your prompt, I felt that Dean should also have apologised to Castiel too which is why I couldn't resist filling it when I saw it. I'm very relieved you think I got the moment right though, thank you!
Peace,
Campaspe
