Who: Cas and Dean What: Laying down the line Where: By the lake When: Thursday night Warnings: TBD
Cas wasn't happy with Dean. He wasn't happy with how things were. It was why he's avoided his husband for the last few days, slept anywhere but in their bed. It felt wrong. Dean should never have been someone to avoid and he was eager to set things right but he couldn't do it alone.
The fact Dean wanted to see him in person was a good sign. Cas took it to mean he was serious about setting it right. He trusted Dean was sincere in his desire. As he walked along the lake he was sure to take deep breaths to steady himself. Dean knew what he'd done wrong. It was all going to be okay. All they had to do was talk.
Cas hadn't been avoiding Dean to punish him. He's simply found the other man's presence overwhelming, the ache in him from being at odds with Dean had left him distraught. Tony had helped calm him and he owed a great debt to his friend. As he walked he hoped he never needed to return the favour in quite that way. He checked his phone a few times but there was nothing he wanted to respond to, no one he wished to speak with but Dean.
