Cas is working in his smithy when a telegram reaches him, that his twin brother has gone missing. He's afraid that his nightmares might be more than just dreams, so he closes up shop and makes his way west to go look for his brother. He doesn't expect to find help in the known outlaw Dean Winchester, but Dean is a better man than the law would make you think. Sometimes you just have to work outside the law to bring justice to the things that go bump in the night.

Ever since he graduated from college and lost his parents, the world has been rushing by Dean Winchester faster than a high-speed train. He’s tabled his dreams of being a published writer to edit others’ work at a press in D.C., and although he keeps trying to finish his manuscript on the side, he’s stuck in a perpetual loop of writer’s block.

And then there’s the issue of his love life.

For the same amount of time that he’s been standing still, he’s been in love with his roommate, Cas Milton. Cas works for Amtrak and spends his time traveling both D.C. and the country, and more often than not, his outlook on the future is more positive than Dean’s. Despite the fact that they devote most of their time to each other, Dean knows the truth: one day, Cas will find the person he’s truly meant to spend his life with, and he’ll ride that train off into the proverbial sunset, leaving Dean behind.

But what if the truth Dean thinks he knows is wrong, and a brighter future is out there, if he’ll only grab hold of it?

Cas shoots up from his pillow with a gasp. The nightmares are back and this time his brother Jimmy also made an appearance. For months now he has woken up at least once a night shaking with fear because people with black eyes show up in them, doing horrible things to his friends and family. Usually they all are strangers though. But not this time. This one felt different. Not just because Jimmy was the one with black eyes, but also because he was torturing his own family. Cas can still see Jimmy’s wife and daughter clear as day, terror written all over their features.

With the intention of trying to forget and getting a little more sleep, he pours himself two fingers of whiskey from the bottle on his nightstand and downs it like water. When he can’t fall back to sleep after tossing and turning long enough to see the sun rise and painting his room in soft yellows, he decides to get up and start his day.

He washes his face at the bowl on his dresser making a mental note to refill his jug before bed.

He finds his shirt and pants over the chair where he put them last night and gets dressed. Running his hands through his unruly hair must suffice for today, because he has to go feed the cats and dogs before he can eat something himself and get ready for work.

Guardian angel.

Cas comes home tonight.

Cas comes home /tonight/, and Dean can’t wait. They’ve talked every day, of course they have, but it’s not the same. The apartment feels too big and so empty, and Dean wishes Cas were here to rip open the junk mail and read it in a funny voice or posit, for the thousandth time, that they should get a cat.

(Dean is allergic. Cas claims the place is “one species short.”)

But maybe it’s better that Cas isn’t here, in a way. Usually, Dean is able to handle the way he feels, especially since he’s felt this way since the first night, like Cas would be important and was going to /mean/ something. But as the country has stretched between them, the feeling has started to press into his ribs, painfully, and every time Cas’s name shows up on his phone, he simultaneously scrambles to answer and resists.

He has to get up and go to work.

Dean pulls himself out of bed and stumbles toward the kitchen, where his coffee maker is waiting. He’s used to having breakfast with Cas, sitting on either side of the smooth oak kitchen table; Cas always makes a face at Dean’s mug and makes himself tea instead.

He turns on the coffeemaker (he had the foresight to prep the coffee beans and water the night before, something he always aims to do but doesn’t happen every day) and opens the fridge, inspecting its contents. Tomorrow, they’ll probably have to go to the grocery store; since it’s just been Dean, it’s a little bare. There are still some eggs left, though, so Dean grabs the carton and decides to fry a couple up. He locates a slightly brown banana and cuts it into slices to go on the side while he waits for the coffee to brew.

If Cas were there, they’d listen to the public radio station while they eat, on low volume so they could still talk. Cas says it’s important to stay updated on the news, and Dean doesn’t disagree, but it’s nice to not hear about how everything around the world is going to shit for once.
