» Love Him in His Sleep (Love Him Always) — almaasi

After Cas banishes Dean’s nightmares, Dean starts to have wet dreams… about being cuddled. When he wakes, he’s sticky and aroused - and he loves it. Oh, he loves it a lot. Castiel, meanwhile, is struggling with his own descent into the murky waters of human morality. How is he supposed to explore all these new lustful feelings if Dean insists on keeping him at arm’s length?

if you think dean only cried ONCE about his time in hell, i’ll laugh at you, because i am pretty sure every night after he came back was plagued with nightmares and tears and desperate tries to keep all sobs or whimpers back so sam wouldnt hear

because he was just fine

Dean and Cas fall asleep pressed against each other on the couch.  In the middle of the night Dean wakes up to Cas kissing and nuzzling his neck.  Starved for the contact after their long estrangement, Dean takes the opportunity to show Cas just how much he missed him
