[Dean didn't realize that the phone was recording when he set it on the hood of the car he'd been driving. He's resting his palms on the hood and his face is lowered, casting his face into shadow
( Read more... )
[There's a long pause and Dean just stares at the phone, not quite believing that the voice coming out of it is attached to the only person it could be. Impossible. But stranger things have happened. So he takes a shaky breath and tries to maintain his composure. This is just too frigging much.]
Cute. Who is this?
[Please just don't say that you're Cas. Please just don't say that you're Cas. Please just don't say that you're Cas. Please be Cas.]
[ Dean sounds weary. He looks weary. Feels weary. Just as he had when Castiel had last seen him and magnified in ways he can't quite discern. It's impossible not to feel concern, not at this point. He wonders if it's audible in his voice, the few syllables he utters. Wonders if Dean can pick up on it.
[He knows from past experiences in this place that people can be pulled in without remembering everything that's happened - everything that other people that knew them might know. But it still hurts to hear Cas' voice again, after everything. Sure he'd been here before, but it was somehow different now, given everything that had happened between the two of them since.
Part of him was still glad - happy even - to know that Cas was here. That he was probably in one piece and Leviathan free. But...]
Cas? Where are you?
[He's not really certain that he wants to see the angel right now, but he has to know what's going on.]
[Nepeta looks happy at first--Dean came back!!--but that doesn't last long when she see's the condition he's in. Her ears pull back in a doggish fashion, and she bites her lip, her pointed teeth just peeking out from under her black lips. She's frowning, concerned, and isn't sure what to say.
[Shit. That meant he was only missing a few days from his time spent here. Dean's not really sure if that's a good thing, a bad thing, or if it means someone was just messing with him. Because whatever just happened should have been impossible.]
Yeah. I.. I'm fine, Nepeta.
[Except he really wasn't, but he wasn't going to worry her with the details. He didn't even know if he could talk about it.]
