Dean stumbled out of the house, eyes sticky with sleep. He'd planned on sleeping in late, a luxury he was not going to get used to ever. He had, in fact, planned on sleeping in late with a distinctly Cas-shaped bundle of warmth pressed close to his own body, the other's stiff black hair poking out from under the blankets and tickling Dean's nose. That there was instead a Cas-shaped absence on the bed was the sole reason Dean bothered to step outside at all. It was colder than the proverbial witch's tit, for one thing, and he was an old man; he could probably hear his joints creaking if the sound of blood pounding in his ears wasn't a constant reminder of how lucky he was, how ferociously happy to just be alive, inhabiting himself wholly.
Dean hadn't dared to hope - hadn't dared to imagine.

Maybe my favorite bit is that Dean decides not to just buy Cas something, and instead heads out to build a bird bath. Because Cas doesn't really need a pair of gloves and would much rather sit out and watch birds, and I love that Dean knows that.

I've been thinking that our own lives aren't always clear-cut narratives of happiness and contentment, either, but we learn to take our moments when we can, no? :p
