It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Oct 25, 2008 14:08

When Dean woke up, it was dark. But not the comforting kind of dark where you can make out the edges of shapes in the darkness. It was the oppressing kind, that pressed down on your chest and made you feel as though you couldn't breathe. Which would have been just fine, except for the fact that Dean could breathe. He was breathing quite a bit ( Read more... )

Ben was fast asleep in his room, curled up in the quilt on his bed at Bobby's place. Alec had insisted on them having a Christmas together, and Bobby had grudgingly agreed to let him decorate the place as long at they kept it in the living room only. So the room had been cleaned up, books moved, and a large tree was by the fireplace. There were a few presents under the tree, stocking over the fireplace ( ... )

Alec wasn't sure which had woken him from his nest of blankets and dog half way under the lit Christmas tree. It could have been the supernova of light that slammed through the world around him or Ben's wail. Either way it was Ben he responded to first.

Of course he had to change directions half way up the stairs as Ben shot past him going down and out. Alec simply spun and followed. He paused at the door though to cram his feet into his boots and snatch up Ben's. Junk yards were not a safe place for an Ordinary to be in without protection. He took off again and blurred to catch up with Ben ( ... )

After a few minutes of lying in the snow he realized he was starting to get a little freezing. Just like suffocating in the box wasn't an option, freezing to death? Also not. He took a deep breath, before pushing himself up, trying to get some kind of hold on the ground beneath him and pushing himself up, all the while glancing around and make sure that he wasn't walking into any kind of trouble ( ... )

Ben struggled against his brother, but he knew that would get him nowhere fast. So just shoved his feet into the boots, not lacing them. Not caring.

He needed to get to the top of the hill, and he couldn't tell Alec why. he had to know. Had to be sure.

Pushing himself free he took off again, struggling up the hill and he didn't even realize he was crying until he saw Dean sit up and he pushed his body to run just that much faster.

He couldn't scream out his father's name or title. He just got into the clearing with the starlight and stood there, panting as he looked at Dean a few feet away. He was scared, confused and damn happy all at the same time, and was afraid to cross those last few feet to hold him in case he was just a dream and would disappear.

Dean did his best to push it to the back of his mind for as long as possible. He waited until everyone in the house had gone back to sleep before he even let the thought cross his mind. He knew Bobby would have wanted to gotten on the source of Dean's sudden rising from the dead, but Dean wouldn't have any of it. It was Christmas. He was going to let his boys enjoy it -- they didn't need to worry about him. Not yet ( ... )

Castiel watched from a distance as Dean was reunited with his family. It was a good scene to watch, reaffirming God's choice to bring Dean back. Dean was going to be very important in the coming months, but for now he could have his family and be welcomed back to life.

But when he walked out from the house on his own, Castiel made his move. He appeared silently, with just a rustle of wings and a small swirl of snow.

"Hello, Dean."

Jinx had been laying awake for the last few hours. He'd wanted to stay outside and guard the house almost as much as he wanted to stay inside in the circle of Alec's happiness. Because something was coming, something that got under his fur and the fur that his master didn't technically have but was there anyway ( ... )

Dean frowned slightly at the man's sudden and unexplainable appearance, and the fact that Jinx, who had decided to come out and join the party, was not happy with what he was seeing didn't exactly make him feel any better. Dean wasn't any closer to actually liking the dog, but he'd done his job in keeping his boys safe when he was gone, and as far as he knew, he hadn't eaten anyone yet, so Dean was willing to give the dog the benefit of the doubt when it came to instincts.

He reached over, rubbing the dog's back lightly, both to tell the dog 'good boy' as well as to try and get him to sit a little closer, before picking up the beer next to him and taking a long sip, still regarding the man in front of him with a bit of unease. He didn't like this. Not a bit.

"I'm sorry -- do we know each other?"
