Epilogue
***********
Castiel’s school year went by in a blur. It was only blurred by Dean. If anything, they had gotten closer over the year. He had finally finished finals and was extremely exhausted when he got to the apartment.
“Dean. I’m home!”
“Cas!,” Dean smiled, walking over to give him a kiss on the cheek. Cas smiled as Dean took his stuff.
“Let’s get that heavy pack off you. Lay down on the couch. I’ve got a Buffy marathon loaded and some food baking.”
Castiel would never not think Dean was the best, but in times like these Castiel was reminded of just how grateful he was for Dean. It was ridiculous that they had to take finals as seniors for the end of the year. They should have been planning for graduation, but no, apparently test grades still mattered. Dean’s college had gotten out two weeks earlier. Cas did not protest as he fell onto the couch sinking into the same spot he liked to pin Dean to on occasion. He stared at the netflix logo with a blank expression on his face, so relieved to be over with finals and school but still in such a shocked state. Cas gave a small moan of contentment as he smelled burgers coming from the barbecue on the balcony.
Dean came back with a smile on his face.
“Look what I got!” He said in a sing song voice. Cas smiled and gave him a chaste kiss before eating. Dean laid down, using Cas’s legs as a pillow, and played the show.
*******************
Castiel graduated with a smile on his face, relishing in the fact that all the Winchesters came to support him. Dean gave him a big kiss on the mouth. His graduation present from Dean was a car he fixed up himself and the sex was pretty good too.
********************
Their pranks turned more sexual. The worst of them is when they were at a Barbecue with Dean’s friends and Dean pretended to drop his napkin, grabbing Cas’s cock firmly and kneading it as he bent down, forcing Cas to stifle a moan and face the embarrassment of a very public hard on. Cas got him back, though, threatening to choose to go to a different college than Dean.
***********************
Dean was known to give Castiel a lot of surprise gifts. The best of all was on his birthday. They were eating Dinner that Dean made at the lake house one year later. Sam had brought his girlfriend, Jessica and Gabe just tagged along as a seventh wheel of sorts.
They decided to go out that night to the fanciest restaurant in town. Dean looked extremely hot in a suit and tie. Castiel was thankful that Gabriel had a job as a photographer because he brought his camera and took pictures of everything, including Dean in a suit. Cas was smiling as he finished dinner, giving Dean a small kiss on the lips. Dean just kind of turned away and smiled shyly Their relationship had been tense lately. Dean would disappear for a couple hours at a time and not tell him why. He was jittery and cautious. He kept asking strange questions like,
“You love me, right?”
They were stupid questions, considering that Cas needed Dean more than he needed breathing. When they got back to the lake, Sam and Jessica were giggling for some reason and Mary turned on the front lights to the house, illuminating the lake.
Dean’s hand was shaking in Castiel’s as he lead him to the beach. Castiel stared up at him, concerned. He didn’t notice the way Mary,John,Sam,Jessica,and Gabriel were standing on the porch.
“Dean, what’s wrong?”
“I’m- I just- I’m not really good at this type of shit.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Cas, the moment I laid eyes on you I knew I was in love with you, or at least a deep part of me did. You are the most beautiful person ever and not just in the pretty way or the sexual way but on the inside. You are the smartest person I know and you have helped me through college and you read cool books and I love you so much and I’m always so shocked that you love me too. I-uh- I guess it is just I look at you and I see everything and I mean it is really fucking scary investing your whole life into something that may go away some day but I can’t help but feeling that I know more about you than I do myself. I know more about your body than I do the damn cars. Y-you are just so kind to everyone you meet and you want to help people when you get older and everything about you is perfect in my eyes. I-uh- I have been acting strange lately and I’m sorry. It is just I have been so shocked that someone as amazing as you could love me and it’s like just you said a few weeks ago, like the beautiful saint you are, that you want to adopt children when you get older and then I got really sad thinking that you would be adopting a child with someone else and then I got thinking about the future and who I wanna be and the only thing I can see is me being with you. I just want you so bad and I want to live with you and I know that’s crazy Cas, I do, but you’ve gotta understand, man. You are who I want in my arms. So please….”
Castiel felt like he was going to choke. He was trying to hold back tears. Dean got down on one knee, only letting go of one hand. Dean’s eyes were wide and scared, like he expected to get hurt.
“Will you mary Me, Castiel Smith?”
Cas collapsed on his knees beside Dean, the shock pounding through his system. He couldn’t speak, couldn’t breathe.
“Yes,” He managed, “Oh god, Yes.”
Dean smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek before hugging Castiel tightly. Cas clutched on to him too. Dean was crying tears of joy and Castiel couldn’t believe this was caused by him. They rocked together in a sweet hug before Dean gave him one of the sweetest kisses Castiel had ever received from him. He pulled away from a shaky sigh, put Cas’s hand out, slipped a gorgeous silver ring on his finger and stood him up.
He pumped Cas’s fist in the air, whipped him around to reveal the audience and screamed,
“He said yes!!”
Mary Winchester put a hand over her mouth in glee. John Winchester was acting like he was a player who just won the Super Bowl, running over to Dean and lifting him up in the air. Gabe was smiling behind his camera. Sam and Jess ran up to Dean and Cas. Dean was bouncing in celebration, bouncing and jumping with his mother and father, his brother and future sister-in law. He bounced right by his soon-to-be brother in law’s camera and howled in joy. The mood was lightened from a very serious and very sentimental one to one of great joy and victory. Castiel didn’t know what to do. John was giving him pats on the back. Mary bound up to him and gave Cas a crushing hug.
“You deserve to be together like this.”
Cas nodded, wiping a stray tear from his face. Jessica kissed him on the cheek and Sam gave him the biggest hug a friend could give. Dean was the one to drag Cas away and sweep him off his feet. Literally.
Dean was carrying Cas full bridal style, clutching him and jumping up and down, running him around and making him laugh and scream as he pretended to run Cas into things, giving him small kisses on the forehead and cheek. He couldn’t believe that a little over a year earlier, Castiel was throwing Dean’s stuff out windows and putting snakes in his bed.
