Dean was confused by Castiel's statement. "Tell me what? Is something wrong, Cas?"

Castiel looked down at his hands on the table. "No, there is nothing wrong. I just have been meaning to say something for a long time."

"Okay. Shoot."

Castiel took a deep breath and looked back up into Dean's eyes. "From the moment I gripped you tight in Hell, I felt it. As time passed and you and I got closer, I began to realize what it was. And now, I need to tell you." His eyes were shining with an unknown emotion. Dean stared into the deep blue as he waited for Cas to continue. "Dean Winchester, I am in love with you."

Dean froze. Wait… Did Cas just say he loved me? Dean, say something! But Dean couldn't speak. All he could do was look as hurt spread across Castiel's face.

"I understand if you do not feel the same way. If you would like, I can just leave." With that, Castiel stood and pushed in his chair. Turning, he whispered, "Goodbye, Dean."

The next thing Dean knew, he was standing, then grabbing Castiel's wrist and spinning him to face him. Before he could stop himself, Dean pressed his lips to Castiel's.

The kiss expressed every emotion that Dean couldn't. Castiel wrapped his arms around Dean's neck, and Dean's hands fell to his hips. The two kissed for what seemed like forever. When they separated, Dean pulled him into a hug and spoke so quietly that only Cas could hear. "I love you too, Cas."

Cas's grip tightened, and Dean couldn't keep the giddy grin off of his face. He couldn't remember ever being this happy. When Cas pulled away, Dean craved the warmth. But Castiel leant back in to kiss him again, so it didn't last long.

It was at that moment that Gabriel and Sam decided to pop back in. "Oh, good. I was so tired of all of that tension." Gabe smirked.

Dean quickly pulled away and blushed, but grabbed Cas's hand in his and entwined their fingers. Castiel squeezed his hand in return.

It was then that Dean noticed the pair's slightly swollen lips and Sam's slightly red cheeks. He raised an eyebrow. "Sammy, you got your own angel?" Sam's blush deepened. "But Gabriel, if you hurt him, I will personally kill you."

"Same goes for my Cassie."

That night, the four went to dinner to celebrate. Dean smiled. For one night, everyone was safe and happy.
