He lifts Dean's head up with tender fingers until they are looking in each other's eyes, and his thumb wipes the tears on his cheek.
“Hi,” Dean says.
“Hello," Cas smiles.
"Cas?" Dean asks, and a sob is threatening to break out of his throat again, this time brought on by the overwhelming rush of his senses and reality coming back to him, not brighter and louder, but more tangible. "Don't ever leave."
Cas' face changes surreptitiously, eyebrows lifting ever slightly.
“Dean—"
"Don't. Don't argue with me, Cas. Just stay. Please. Please."
The expression on Cas' face is one of awe, and somewhere in Dean's mind he thinks the painting must have shifted to show a halo around him, too.
"Alright," Cas says. "If this is what you really want."
"Cas," Dean whispers, and he can't imagine why it was so difficult to say it before. It's the most natural thing in the world. "I want you." He brings Castiel's hand to his lips. "Wherever we are, whatever we're doing, I want you. I need you."
i like to think of myself as "an ex spn girlie" but then i turn around and rb so many destiel edits and gifsets like bestie.... pick a lane. either u used to watch it and never think about it anymore, or ur obsessed and continue to have strong, intense opinions on all the characters.
i suppose the reason i think of myself as an ex fan is i dont rewatch it like at all. i take psychic damage every time i turn an episode on that isnt 11x04 baby
