Dean woke again to full daylight, sun streaming into the room between drawn curtains. He was alone in the bed, his t-shirt sticking damply to his skin, pools of sweat in the hollow of his collarbone and the small of his back.
A muted rustling or clacking was emanating from the corner that held the mini-fridge and the coffee machine.
Dean gingerly swung his legs over the side of the bed and took stock. His throat still hurt and he thought he was probably still running a low-grade temp, but he wasn’t bent double with body aches anymore, or shaking hard enough to fly apart, so he was gonna count it as a win.
He scrounged through his bag for a dry shirt. “Cas?” he said cautiously, because he couldn’t figure out what the angel was up to, or even why he was still there.
Castiel turned around slowly, holding miscellaneous pieces of the coffee maker in both hands, and wearing an expression of surprisingly transparent annoyance.
Dean laughed at the pure incongruity of it. “Dude,” he said, “you’re telling me you can outsmart an archangel, but you’re defeated by the automatic drip?” Castiel glared at him. “Just leave it,” he went on, “we’ll hit a drive-thru.”
“No coffee,” Castiel said, stern as Judgment Day, “you’re still unwell.” He tilted his head hopefully, “Do they have tea at the drive-thru?”
“Sure they do,” Dean answered, hoping he wasn’t lying, “and egg sandwiches. My treat, ‘cause…um…thanks….for staying.”
Castiel just inclined his head in acknowledgment, and put down the parts of the coffee machine with what Dean could only interpret as a sigh of relief.

You are mad of win! Awesome. That was a perfect mix between angst - because Dean missing Sam HURT like a bitch - and comfort ... because Castiel being worried about him was so cute. It was bittersweet and angsty and dark and really really adorable. And there was cuddling! *_* Thank you so much for writing this for me. I really really appreciate it.

you're sweet to ask! It's nothing serious, just facing down a lot of projects and commitments that seem overwhelming--but everyone's healthy and safe (knock on wood), so no worries on that front--

Then he realized that the figure was too slight to be his brother, too short. Besides, if Sam had seen fit to take up some kind of ridiculous bedside vigil, he would’ve had the good grace to pretend to watch TV. Dean was kind of impressed Castiel had even remembered to sit down.
Haha, CASTIEL. This was lovely. I especially enjoyed Castiel shushing Dean and Dean thinking it was probably the kind of noise Jimmy had used to soothe his daughter. That was adorable and really sad at the same time.

This was fantastic! And I don't even like Castiel. Maybe I'm growing to... but it's a slow, confusing process. Anyway, this was beautifully written and full of wonderful little details.

And he made a shushing sound that Dean thought was probably the kind of noise Jimmy had used to soothe his daughter long ago.

Thanks so much--I'm totally chuffed you liked it! *blushes and blushes*
I understand your ambivalence about Castiel--I can only get my head around certain flavors myself. But it is kind of interesting to have Dean play off someone who's outside the Winchester mishigas--or who has a different perspective on it at least. And his batshit devotion this season is kind of a scream--
And I like the idea that the body he's using might have certain sense memories...(like in "Direct Eyes")

Really cute! I'm warming to the relationship between Dean and Castiel, and this fic adds to it. And I didn't mind the presence/absence of this "S" guy, on the contrary...

I'm glad you enjoyed it! and I'm glad if the fic helped you warm up to their relationship--it certainly adds another dimension to the show (though no way could we ever forget that other guy *g*)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (and motel rooms are just a set of snafus waiting to happen, aren't they? Sam and Dean can only negotiate them because of the years of practice *g*)
