Castiel looks stunned, like he can’t believe this revelation. “Dean,” he says slowly, stepping forward to close the gap between them. “I’ve seen your soul, all of it, I rebuilt your body from dust and I know every single inch of it.” He takes another step and the space between them grows smaller by another foot. “I’ve seen you at your worst... ” Dean cringes as his memories of Hell briefly resurface but Castiel keeps going, “... and at your best.” There’s barely a hair’s breadth of space between them now.
Every part of Dean is screaming at him to back away and run because he can’t deal with this-it’s too much. But Castiel’s eyes hold him in place and he can’t look away. He brings his hand up to clasp Dean’s cheek again, brushing his thumb across Dean’s skin carefully. “I know you, Dean, all of you. And, because of that, not in spite of it, I love you. I loved you then and I love you now. I’ll always love you.”
Aside from beautiful and epic, this totally reminds me of Spike talking to Buffy in Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
I was so looking to reading this when I read your snippet and I pleased to announce it was well worth the wait.
I love the evolution of Castiel and Dean's relationship and how everything cam full circle.
