[ And he remembered. Cas had hinted, suggested before the end. He had known he was walking to his death and he did it all for him. It ranked to high heaven and Dean's expression showed it for a brief moment. Him and the other guy had never quite gotten along. And for good reason. It just took Dean a really long time to remember why. ]
Of course it'll make a difference. Since when have the three of us ever failed when we put our minds to it, right?
[ Dean went straight for the half cocked smile, suddenly returning to his feet and dusting off his hands because, in the end, wasn't that what caused the whole bad situation for Cas and Dean in that other time? Dean had given up and then the world just fell part. It's almost scary to admit how close he got to that a second time,even a third. It chilled him straight down to his bones.
But he was smiling and to cover up the unease curling into his shoulders, he gestured randomly at the room. ]
And, since we're putting in the effort, how about we find you a better place to stay, huh? This one kind of reeks. [ not really Cas' fault, but Dean had to turn aside the moment somehow. It was getting uncomfortably close to true leadership and he wasn't a hundred percent sure he was ready for that. Not with him as he was. But he could certainly start taking steps to work on it. ]
[ Since when have they failed? Castiel has to take several long seconds to remind himself how long it's been for Dean since then, how he doesn't need to worry about the road frequently traveled because that had been seen to already. It angers him that he can be so callous and casual about it, but then again, that had always been his way.
He avoids the smile and looks anywhere but at the man moving around. He desperately wanted-- no, needed Dean to understand how this is so much more than them and him. They are being tested every second that ticks by, and what does he have to show for it? Nothing at all but his fear and the abject notion he would continue feeling this way. ]
I like it here. [ It's all he ventures to say for a while, breath slowly leveling out. Then, softly: ] I feel it's unwise to linger in that building longer than necessary.
