“Find someone else, it’s not me.”

Castiel sat quietly and let Dean turn away from him, let him hide his tears and his shame. But there was nothing to be ashamed of. Reaching out, he took hold of Dean’s hand, surprised when it wasn’t pulled away from him, in fact Dean hardly reacted at all.

“Dean. Look at me,” he said quietly as he stood up to sit on the edge of the bed, “Look at me.”

Reluctantly, Dean turned his head to look up at Castiel, his eyes shining with unfallen tears.

“It is you,” Castiel said softly, “It has to be you. I know that you’re scared, that all of this is a huge burden to bear. But you will not have to do it on your own.”

Dean scoffed, “And who’s gonna help me? You?”

“Yes,” Castiel nodded, “I will be with you. Every step of the way. I will not leave you on your own again.”

Dean stared up at him, surprised to see such a vast amount of emotion running over Castiel’s face, his eyes flooded with guilt, “You promise?” he asked.

Castiel leaned forward, “You have my word,” he told him before placing a small kiss on his forehead, “Now close your eyes and sleep. You need your rest.”

Dean gave the weakest of smiles before resting back against the pillow. Castiel then moved to sit back down on his chair, but before he could, Dean squeezed his hand and opened his eyes once more.

“Will you be here when I wake up?”

Sitting down, Castiel reached out and stroked a gentle hand through Dean’s hair, sending him to sleep, “Always.”
