Re: the man with the golden gun- Dean/Cas, touching, AUs, attentionpann_cakeApril 14 2012, 20:16:10 UTC
When he opens his eyes, Dean is lounging on one elbow, looking at him sidelong, his hat slung low over his eyes. Castiel digs into his pocket for the key.
“You and I both know why you’re letting me free,” Dean murmurs as Castiel turns the key, unclasps the irons.
“And why’s that?”
“Because I’m innocent,” Dean says with conviction, catching Castiel’s wrist before he pulls away.
Castiel pauses, crouched on his haunches in front of Dean, and Dean holds his gaze. His fingers grip Castiel’s wrist, and the touch is almost hot against Castiel’s skin. Castiel swallows, trying to dissipate the sudden tension. “Innocent men don’t run.”
Dean huffs impatiently and drops Castiel’s wrist. “Of course they do,” he says. “I don’t wanna hang for something I didn’t do.”
Castiel’s brow furrows. “There are witnesses that saw you kill that man.”
“True. But he wasn’t a man.” He fixes Castiel with a pointed look. “He was a werewolf.”
“That’s a myth,” Castiel says. “They don’t exist.”
“They sure do, and I killed one before it could kill innocent people.”
Castiel rubs a hand down his face. He doesn’t have the patience for tall tales.
“I’m tellin’ the truth, Cas,” Dean insists, settling onto the ground, his arms folded up behind his head. He tips his hat so it covers his eyes. “By the time we get to Texas, you’ll believe me.”
“I’m not so sure about that,” Castiel murmurs, but Dean doesn’t reply. Castiel thinks he might be asleep already, and he sighs.
He crosses his legs and stays next to Dean, one hand resting on the ornate gun at his hip. It’s Dean’s, confiscated when he arrested him. He thinks back to that moment, the odd bullets that were in the chamber. None of them were regular lead bullets; some made of melted down silver, some filled with salt. The gun of someone hunting monsters, not men.
Castiel casts his eyes back to Dean, a fugitive sleeping peacefully in the middle of the desert, next to the Marshal who’s bringing him to the gallows. Castiel watches Dean and tries to stay awake, thinking in the back of his mind that this was all a ruse, that Dean will surely escape.
Eventually Castiel falls asleep. When he wakes, Dean is cooking them breakfast over the fire. Castiel exhales a laugh and shakes his head; there’s something to be said for conviction.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOM DEAN/CAS WESTERN AU YESSS I think you can totally hear me squeeing. (Lol you don't know how much I was hoping for some western AU since I hadn't put it into the proper kinks. ;) also YAAAY MORRICONE SOUNDTRACK I can't hear that particular one enough. ;) ;) )
and that said OMG I LOVE THIS. Cas running after Dean and catching him multiple times was excellent, as Dean's total flirting at the beginning. And DEAN STILL HUNTING MONSTERS and Cas TOTALLY STARTING TO BELIEVE HIM, and omg Dean actually staying and Cas trusting him not to run (not that it was conscious but it hardly matters) and EVERYTHING, I'm in love with it. The dialogue was just so IC I could weep in joy and Castiel doubting things all over was just perfect. And the ending was priceless. And seriously I love how it's totally obvious that they have some sort of respect for each other and I'm willing to bet that Cas will believe Dean by the end. ;)
NO SERIOUSLY I LOVE THIS THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ♥ I shall go and have a re-read. You totally proceeded to smash all my buttons - KUDOS ON THAT REALLY. *goes re-reading*

Wheeee~ *twirls you* I'm SO GLAD you liked it!! I've never written a Western before but it was SO MUCH FUN. I think it's these boys, they are great to write no matter what AU I plunk them into. ;D
BTW, I love how we wrote for each other at basically the exact same time. XDD *high fives*
