Relationship: Castiel/Dean Winchester
Rating: Mature
Genre: AU, Friends to Lovers, Friends to Strangers to Enemies to Lovers, Childhood Friends, Lost Love, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Happy Ending
Preview: It wasn’t a blowout. It didn’t end in a flurry of sharp knuckles or sharper words. It might have been easier if it had. Instead, it was time that tore them apart. Slowly, insidiously, a cocktail of doubt and distance poisoned the PICC line.
Some nights are easier than others. Some days it’s easy to breathe through the waking hours. After 10 years, it should be. After a decade, Dean Winchester shouldn’t even cross his mind. And yet, tonight is one of those nights Castiel can barely tolerate. One that has his shoulders tense from racing, pacing, partial thoughts – distant memories – closely held regret for the taste of past-held futures turned presently sour.
